Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

That little hand was so nimble, so fast as the wind and as quick as lightning, that it even left an afterimage!

After a while, he filled a flat basket, carried it to where the sacks were placed, and then moved to another place with the empty basket and continued catching.

Han Zhaozhao took some time to take a look at the two children working. He was very impressed. They were really good at earning money!

Children of this generation have parents who are busy at work and have no one to teach them, so basically every family leaves their children to their own devices.

They learned everything by themselves, collecting firewood, taking care of children, washing clothes, cooking... They can do everything and are good helpers to their parents!

Let’s not talk about Niu Xiaoyun, let’s just talk about the somewhat willful and unruly Xue Ying, who is only six years old. In later generations, she would still be in kindergarten. She is at the age when she is coaxed and spoiled by her parents and even has to order food for every meal.

But according to Han Zhaozhao's observation, she also worked in a very methodical and organized manner.

She specifically looked for piles of rocks and bushes that were sheltered from the wind. The wind had blown in a lot of leaves and weeds in the cracks between the rocks and under the bushes, and they were packed tightly together. One grab a handful and she could harvest half a basket of leaves without moving much.

Xue Ying also found a flat and clean place, poured out the leaves in the basket, and continued to catch leaves with the empty basket.

Seeing that Han Zhaozhao had already raked up several piles of leaves, Xue Ying was a little tempted and shouted to Han Zhaozhao: "Han Zhaozhao, let me use your rake!"

Han Zhaozhao hugged the leaves and pretended not to hear them.

"Han Zhaozhao, are you deaf? I said lend me your rake!"

Xue Ying dropped the basket in her hand, ran to Han Zhaozhao, and grabbed the handle of the bamboo rake in her hand.

Being interrupted while working, Han Zhaozhao was a little annoyed, "What did you say? Borrow a rake? No, I haven't used it yet!"

"You've already piled up four piles, enough to fill a sack. If you pile up more, you won't be able to fit any more. What's wrong with lending it to me first? You weren't so stingy before!"

Han Zhaozhao: "I'm not stingy! I have to use up my own stuff first before I can borrow it.

Besides, let alone I haven’t used it up yet, even if I did, I would have to lend it to Brother Xiaomin first. He borrowed it from me first and even carried the rake for me all the way. I promised him that.”

Xue Ying continued to pester: "He's not here now, and I don't know where he went. I'll use it first, and when he comes back, I'll give it to him!"

"No, I can't give it to you if he's not here. Isn't his sister still here? I'll give it to Xiaoyun after I use it.

Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, here's a rake for you. Use it to rake the grass quickly!"

Xiaoyun ran over happily and took the rake from Han Zhaozhao's hand, "Thank you, Zhaozhao! Don't rush to put it into the sack. My second brother will be back soon and ask him to help you.

He is strong and can press firmly, so he can help you pack more. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your rake and will never break its teeth for you."

After saying that, he glanced at Xue Ying, who turned away awkwardly and walked aside, muttering as he walked: "You're still holding a grudge! I didn't mean to do it last time. It was just two rake teeth. Do you have to remember it for the rest of your life?

If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. It's no big deal. Even if I buy a rake in the future, I won't lend it to you."

Han Zhaozhao and Niu Xiaoyun looked at each other, and were very speechless: "A bamboo rake only has thirteen teeth, and it has been used for four or five years without any damage. You broke two teeth after using it once, and you still think you are right?"

"You need to be more careful, and use less force where there are rocks and tree roots.

Hold him, I'll go see where Brother Min went, he said I'd call him after I hugged him." Han Zhaozhao gave her instructions and wanted to leave, there was no way to cheat in front of the two of them.

Niu Xiaoyun: "I know, go ahead! Don't worry, I'll stay here and help you look after the firewood."

It's not easy to come out, and Han Zhaozhao also wanted to see if there was anything else in the woods, and get some firewood to take home.

Looking at such a large forest, a sack of leaves was not enough for her, and the leaves were used to cover the vegetables and they would burn when used for burning.

Han Zhaozhao walked in the direction he had chosen in advance. There were mostly elm and locust trees there, and their branches would definitely be easy to burn.

After walking four or five hundred meters, a few dry branches appeared sparsely on the ground. She picked them up as she walked, looking around from time to time.

The trees in this forest were not too dense, and there were many shrubs on the ground. Listening carefully, she found that there were quite a few people collecting firewood in the forest. She wandered around for more than half an hour before she picked up a small bundle of dry firewood.

Most of them are elm branches and locust branches, about one meter long and only twenty centimeters short, about the thickness of an adult's thumb. The locust branches are covered with sharp thorns, and it is easy to prick your hands if you are not careful.

Han Zhaozhao thought to herself that there were too few dry branches in this forest. She looked up at the tall trees and had an idea in her mind. She wanted to get a lot of hard firewood instead of just waiting for the branches to fall off.

This forest has no owner. We have to either cut down the trees or cut the shrubs and find a way to transport them home to dry them slowly and keep them for burning in the winter.

It would be okay to go up the mountain to get firewood, but the journey was a bit far. If she went alone, her grandmother would definitely not allow it. It seemed that she had to find a way to avoid everyone and go up the mountain alone.

Hey! Owning space is invincible, but being invincible means loneliness! In this life, she still wants to be a lone ranger secretly!

It was getting late, so Han Zhaozhao took a detour and hurried back. He did not miss any nests in the leaves along the way, and put them into the space when there was no one around.

She also secretly tried to harvest two clumps of yellow broom, but she underestimated the development of the root system of the yellow broom and could not harvest it with the roots. She had to use the axe in the space to chop it off at the roots and only harvested the shrub branches above the ground.

Han Zhaozhao has tried it and found that plants with shallow roots, such as various herbs and short trees with shallow roots, can be directly stored in her space.

But at the same time as she harvested the plants, the roots also held onto the soil. That is to say, every time she harvested a plant, a large hole with a maximum diameter of one meter would be left on the ground.

Han Zhaozhao looked at the big hole on the ground and thought, it seems that it is better not to use the space to collect plants outside, the traces left behind are too obvious.

However, this skill is good for digging ponds. She remembered that the pond in the space had been formatted and had disappeared long ago. If she wanted to raise fish in the space in the future, she would have to dig a few new ponds.

Now, she doesn't have to dig with a shovel anymore. She was worried that her body in this life was too weak to do heavy physical work. Now, it's all solved! Hahaha!

"I smile triumphantly, I smile triumphantly!"

Han Zhaozhao was feeling proud when he heard Niu Xiaomin's voice calling from a distance, "Han Zhaozhao, Han Zhaozhao, where are you? Come back soon, we need to load up firewood and go home!"

Oh no, I forgot the time in my excitement! "Here it comes, here it comes!" Without even looking around, Han Zhaozhao stretched out his long legs and ran as fast as he could.

She jumped over bushes, weed nests, and small mounds of earth. Only the jujube trees that seemed too tall and the piles of rocks blocked her way, forcing her to take a detour.

Ten minutes later, Han Zhaozhao, panting heavily, reunited with the group.

When we got there, we saw that everyone had collected a lot of firewood.

Especially Niu Xiaomin, he really lives up to his surname, he is really awesome!
