The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

After an hour, even if he cut slowly, the skin on Lin Xiaoman's palms was worn out.

Li Taohua felt very distressed when seeing this.

Her Grain Full had just returned and it was time for the summer harvest and planting, which was the busiest time of the year.

"Xiaoman, you and Jingzhe go take a rest."

Lin Jingzhe was sweating profusely: "Mom, let my sister go to rest. If I cut more, my sister can cut less."

Lin Xiaoman went to the edge of the field to drink some water. While the sun was still bright, he rested for a while and then went back.

Lao Lin's family does not have much land. In addition to his own three acres of land, he also rents three acres from a landlord.

Otherwise, the whole family, young and old, would not even have enough to eat after paying taxes.

Fortunately, before Lin Xiaoman came through, the Lin family's rice had been almost harvested. In one morning, the last piece of rice field was harvested.

A few little kids followed the adults with baskets in their hands, picking up rice ears.

The whole Shanglin Village was bustling with activity.

This year is a bumper year, and the rice grains are plump and round.

Every household is busy and smiling. It is a good thing that the rice is abundant. We can finally have enough to eat this year.

Old man Lin took his two sons to rent oxen to plow the fields. Plowing the fields is physical work, but Lin Dahai is a good plowman. Compared with him, Lin Dajiang is just a filler.

Even Old Man Lin couldn't plow as well as his second son.

Old Mrs. Lin took her two daughters-in-law and several half-grown children to the threshing ground.

Summer harvest and summer planting are top priorities. Even Lin Dajiang and Lin Jingzhe work hard and don't dare to slack off.

After another three or four days of busy work, the fields were plowed and the rice was threshed. The whole family was so busy that they looked thin.

Then we have to wait for the village to irrigate the area before we can plant the rice seedlings.

However, the threshed rice needed to be dried, and in order to take up space, Shanglin Village was in chaos again.

Dinner was still watery.

Li Taohua went to bed early at night. Lidong in her arms was crying and sobbing non-stop.

"Boss, my milk supply is getting less and less. I'm almost going to have to eat rice porridge at the beginning of winter."

"The rice harvest is good this year. I'll ask my mother to grind some rice flour for Lidong to eat later."

Lin Xiaoman heard Li Taohua sigh slightly.

Lin Xiaoman made a "hush" sound at Lin Jingzhe, and Lin Jingzhe turned over and faced Lin Xiaoman.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, come with me to the mountain tomorrow?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll go with you to collect bird eggs and pick some wild vegetables."

Lin Jingzhe pursed his lips: "We have already taken all the bird eggs on the mountain. Let's see if there are any rabbit holes tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoman had never seen a rabbit hole before, and was curious: "Are there really rabbits in the mountains?"

"Yes, but not many. These days, all those who can be caught have been caught. Those who are left are all cunning and shrewd. Have you ever heard of a cunning rabbit having three burrows?"

Of course Lin Xiaoman had heard of it, but she pretended not to know and looked at Lin Jingzhe blankly.

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Jingzhe saw his little sister's ignorant eyes and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Even with his lowered voice, you can hear his excitement: "Hey, I'll take you to see it tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Lin Xiaoman simply wanted to see how the local natives "hunt for treasure" in the mountains. He had been with them every day for the past few days and had no chance to enter the space. He ate black porridge with water every day, and his taste buds were almost rusted.

I don’t know if the rice balls I made are bad?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman couldn't sleep at all.

Recalling what happened when she was transported into the body of "Lin Xiaoman", the mean old lady Lin, Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua's family who were inconsistent with the characters in the novel, and the way Lin Jingzhe acted as a brother to protect her from time to time.

She had never experienced this feeling before.

She once thought that the director’s mother was the light of her life, but now she realizes that family love is a different feeling.

The bowl of thick black porridge, the warm bird eggs hidden in the trouser pocket, and a skinny chicken leg wrapped in leaves...

Unintentionally, but quietly, he entered her heart.

"Chi chi chi chi."

"Squeak."

"Rustling."

"Quack, quack."

The sounds of various insects intertwined, and before he knew it, Lin Xiaoman fell asleep.

The next morning, Lin Jingzhe had just turned over when Lin Xiaoman started to get up.

"elder brother?"

Children from poor families only had two sets of clothes to change into, which were full of patches. They slept in their clothes at night and put on a pair of shoes in the morning.

It was not yet fully light. Mr. Lin was very tired these past few days and had not yet gotten up.

Lin Jingzhe tiptoed out with Lin Xiaoman and took two rice-cutting sickles, a few sticks, rags, two backpacks and a fire starter from the woodshed.

He took Lin Xiaoman to dig in the corner of the woodshed.

After a while, two large round lumps of black and gray were dug out.

"What is this?" Lin Xiaoman took a look and was a little curious.

Lin Jingzhe smiled mysteriously: "This is a good thing, you will know later."

After saying that, the two of them crouched down, walked out of the door, and ran all the way into the mountains.

There is a lot of dew in the early morning.

Half of Lin Xiaoman's trouser legs were wet.

When she walked to the place where she had pulled out the weeds last time, she saw green grass sprouts emerging from the soil impatiently.

The two of them picked up things as they walked, not letting go of anything edible.

After walking and stopping for a while, Lin Jingzhe squatted down and made a "hush" sound. Lin Xiaoman subconsciously followed suit and squatted down.

Lin Jingzhe pointed at one of the holes and said, "Xiaoman, that's the rabbit hole."

"Are you sure it's not a snake hole?"

Lin Jingzhe looked at Lin Xiaoman as if she were a fool, and after a while he realized that she was stupid to begin with and had only recovered for a few days.

“Is there a snake hole this big?”

As he said this, he took out the rags from the backpack and used them to plug up the holes. "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. There are so many rabbit holes, one hole after another. Whether you can catch it depends on your luck."

After saying that, he blocked a few more holes. Lin Xiaoman followed suit and helped block a few more holes.

"Come, you guard here." Lin Jingzhe asked Lin Xiaoman to put the backpack in one of the holes.

"If any rabbits come out, be smart and don't let them escape." After saying that, he walked seven or eight meters away, took out the black and gray cake, lit it with a fire starter, and the cake burned in a short while.

Lin Jingzhe wrapped some rags and weeds on the cake, and the smoke gradually became stronger.

He squatted down and blew the smoke into the cave.

It was quiet all around, with no other sounds except the chirping of insects and birds. However, in the village at the foot of the mountain, chickens began to crow and dogs bark, and smoke rose from a few houses.

Just when Lin Xiaoman was about to question Lin Jingzhe's unreliability, a gray rabbit bumped into the backpack.

Then, one, two, three...

"Brother!"

Lin Xiaoman shouted excitedly three times, "Three rabbits, no, four..."

Lin Jingzhe put down the pancake in his hand and flew towards Lin Xiaoman.

There were indeed four rabbits in the basket, and the fifth one was just popping out of the hole.

He quickly grabbed Lin Xiaoman's backpack and replaced it with his own: "Hold it firmly, don't let the rabbit jump out."

Lin Xiaoman nodded frantically, protecting the opening of the backpack, watching the silly rabbits rush into Lin Jingzhe's big backpack one after another.

Lin Jingzhe didn't put away the basket until no more rabbits came out of the hole. He looked at the rabbits of different sizes in the basket and said, "I'm lucky. I met a bunch of silly rabbits today."

When I was with Brother Erli before, there weren’t so many silly rabbits.

The older generation often says that birds of a feather flock together.

He glanced at Lin Xiaoman.

It seems to make sense.

Although Xiaoman has become smarter, he has been stupid for twelve years and there is still a bit of stupidity in him.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what Lin Jingzhe was thinking. All she had in her mind were roasted rabbit, braised rabbit, salt and pepper rabbit, and spicy rabbit head.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Lin Xiaoman reacted and suddenly realized a problem: they had no place to put so many rabbits.

"It's okay, I have a solution."

Lin Jingzhe called Lin Xiaoman to go down the mountain. He wanted to settle the rabbits before the villagers came out.

Lin Xiaoman followed Lin Jingzhe and walked quickly all the way to the small river near Shanglin Village.

Lin Jingzhe knocked on the door of one of the houses.

The door opened and a tall and burly man came out.

Lin Jingzhe said a few words to him, then turned around and called Lin Xiaoman: "Come in."

"Raise the rabbits at Brother Erli's house, and I will pay you a rabbit as compensation." Lin Jingzhe said with a smile.

Li Erli lifted the rags on the backpack and was shocked: "What kind of shit luck did you have today? So many rabbits?"

"one two three four five six!"

Lin Jingzhe narrowed his eyes and took down Lin Xiaoman's backpack: "There's more!"

Li Erli stretched out his hand and pulled the rabbit, his eyes shining with envy.

In the past, when I went to the mountains with Lin Jingzhe, I was not so lucky.

"Xiao Man, you go back first. Brother Erli and I will take care of the rabbits and raise the rest first."

Lin Xiaoman nodded, glanced at the fat rabbit in the backpack, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it before leaving.

What soft fur.

"Brother, can you sell the rabbit fur?"

"Of course you can. You can sell both rabbit fur and rabbit skin! Brother Li's family used to be hunters, so he knows how to do it. You caught all these rabbits, and I'll give you the money from selling the fur and rabbit skin later."

Lin Xiaoman didn't care much about the money, but suddenly she felt that there was something wrong with the rabbit because its belly was too big.

"Brother, do you think this rabbit is pregnant with a baby rabbit?"

Lin Jingzhe picked up the rabbit, and the half-grown boy looked delighted, "It really is."

He smiled at Lin Xiaoman, his dark face blossoming: "Lin Xiaoman, are you the little lucky star?"

Li Erli thought of Lin Xiaoman whom he had seen before. She was a teenager who couldn't speak and looked stupid and dull.

There is nothing similar between him and the thin and agile girl in front of him.

He also recalled that in the first few years after the twins were born, the elders in Shanglin Village all said that Lin Xiaoman was a blessed girl.

But later, the little girl with red lips, white teeth and double braids could no longer speak, and those blessed voices gradually disappeared.

Now, Lin Xiaoman is no longer stupid and can speak.

Catching a whole nest of rabbits at once, isn't that a blessing?
