After walking on the mountain once, what should be closed, what should be released, and the dead rabbits are also dealt with, and the whole morning is almost over.

Gou Sheng carried a big basket on his back, carried four rabbit cages on a shoulder pole, and walked quickly and steadily on an inconspicuous path with his body sideways.

The Huaya who followed behind unexpectedly did the same, striding forward without blushing or panting.

When the two arrived home, Hua Ya deftly began to arrange the rabbit.

"Xiao Jiu, are you still writing?" Gou Sheng put the basket under the eaves and shouted into it.

Xiao Jiu responded, and walked out slowly.

"Go and catch a few fish, we will make fish soup to drink at night." Gou Sheng deliberately assigned.

Xiao Jiu let out a "hmm", and finally moved his mind out of the book, and went to dig out the fish food that the earthworms were going to use.

Gousheng likes to be clean, Huaya and Xiaojiu live together, and have developed a similar habit.

After Hua Ya closed the rabbit, she brought out hot water, washed her hands and face with soap, and went to the kitchen to get a pancake wrapped in chili sauce. It was delicious.

"I'll go back, I'll get the herbal medicine when I come back, it's hot at noon, so don't go out!" Gou Sheng wrapped a few soft cakes in a clean cotton cloth and put several packets of medicine in a small basket, explaining.

"Well, I see, big brother called the eggs and the others for dinner!" Hua Ya said while sitting under the shade of a tree.

Dandan is already eight years old this year, and the dog has been teaching him for several years. He doesn't go to school here, and we get along with each other normally. Well, Liu Datie took him back last year—living in Gousheng for the sake of eggs, everything in the village is here!

Fortunately, both Huaya and Xiaojiu grew up with Gousheng, and they didn't go to the countryside much, so they wouldn't lose their minds.

Gou Sheng nodded, and walked quickly to the village with a big bamboo hat to cover the sun.

Li Dahua's self-born twins hurt her body, and she was more irritable and irritable, and she didn't take good care of her body. This spring, her health became worse and worse. Gousheng paid for Li Dahua to see several doctors in the town, and only said to be at ease. Keep it up, Li Dahua's hot-tempered and mischievous temperament, how can she keep it, as long as she can move, she will find trouble. If the dog left is just a wrong eye, she can quarrel with people or touch the ground and so on.

"Big Shuang, Little Shuang, where's your mother?"

The twins were wearing the same brown jackets and were playing with stones in the yard.

"Big brother!"

The two jumped up and shouted together, looking at Gou Sheng expectantly.

Da Shuang replied, "Mother said she was in a panic and was lying in the room."

"Don't put your fingers in your mouth, wash your hands quickly, you can eat pancakes only after you wash them clean." Gou Sheng said hastily.

The twins cheered and ran to the kitchen, where Xiaocao scolded.

Gou Sheng walked in by himself.

It is still the same three adobe brick houses, only the thatched roof was replaced by gray tiles with the money of the dog leftover, which saves repairs every year, and the house still leaks when it rains.

At noon, the whole family rested at home.

Dacao and Xiaocao picked the vegetables in season and were busy making pickles in the kitchen.

"Mother, why are you panicking again? Are you worrying about it?" Gou Sheng gave the pancakes to the post who was weaving a basket with Liu Blacksmith, "Take it and share it with the brothers and sisters."

The column head grinned foolishly, got up and went to the kitchen.

"Come as soon as you come, don't bring things here every time, there are still people at home." Liu Datie said without raising his head.

"I know what you are worried about." Gou Sheng said as he entered the room.

This big family needs food and clothing, but fortunately there are still dog leftovers to subsidize them from time to time, otherwise Li Dahua's body alone would be enough for ordinary people to drink a pot!

"Your old lady is just worrying about nothing, isn't she?" Li Dahua was lying on the kang, her lips trembling slightly, and she asked with an unkind expression.

The complexion is yellowish, the tongue coating is white, and the pulse condition is fast...

Gou Sheng frowned slightly, "Aren't you just worrying about it? You don't even look at your current appearance!"

Li Dahua's body was only a handful of bones, but her feet were slightly swollen.

"Big grass, big grass, use a footbath to pour a pot of hot water in!" Gou Sheng shouted loudly.

Dacao responded outside.

"You ran to the field again, didn't you?" Gou Sheng asked.

Li Dahua hummed and said nothing.

"I went to the field yesterday and asked me to stop him back. I talked to people for a long time on the road, and when I came back, I poured half a bowl of cold water." Liu Datie came in and said.

Gou Sheng shook his head helplessly, how dare he drink cold water like this!

In the past two years, Gousheng bought a total of more than [-] mu of land and sub-leased it to three families. Five mu of land was relatively close to Liu Datie's original land, so Gousheng simply planted it for Liu Datie. Every year, a symbolic amount of food is transported back to feed the rabbits.

Dacao brought in water and put it on the edge of the kang, and helped Gousheng to help Li Dahua up.

Gou Sheng carefully washed Li Dahua's feet, found the acupuncture points and gently kneaded them.

After the numbness passed, Li Dahua breathed out comfortably, and her panic gradually receded.

"...We live our own lives, don't compete with others, the health is more important than anything else..." Gou Sheng pulled the thin blanket over Li Dahua's body and explained.

There are six military households in the village, some of them are clinging on, hoping to get some benefits, some of them are jealous behind their backs... No matter what, there is more or less a boundary with the people in the village.

Gou Sheng lives farther away, and doesn't care about those harsh words, so Li Dahua will not be successful, and every time he hears it, he has to share it with others, making his face red!

Li Dahua hesitated.

Gousheng went out to pour water, and washed his hands carefully with soap.

The stigma had already distributed a pancake to each of the several young people, or wrapped it with pickles, or ate it with chili oil, all of them were delicious and sweet.

"Did brother eat?" Xiaocao asked after swallowing the food in his mouth.

Gousheng has also told the two families about this habit, and now only Xiaocao and Huaya remember it.

"You guys eat." Gou Sheng said with a smile.

Dacao rolled two cakes, poured two bowls of tea and sent them to the inner room for Li Dahua and Liu Datie.

"Da Shuang, did Xiao Shuang write today?"

Gou Sheng sat on the threshold, and his younger brothers and sisters gathered around to talk.

The twins just started giggling.

Mr. Li Xiucai's elementary school is closed every ten days, and today is the day of rest.

In this family, besides Gousheng, there are six children, the stigma is already grown, Li Dahua is not in good health, and the family cannot do without him as a labor force. to read.

The school also needs to spend a whole year of copper and [-] catties of food for repairs. Not everyone can afford the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. How can Li Dahua be willing to spend this money? Opportunity!

"I asked them to write, but they said it would be a waste of paper." Xiaocao complained with her bright red lips.

Gou Sheng touched Xiaocao's hair, "If you are afraid of waste paper, practice on the ground first, and then write on paper after practice."

The twins responded to Xiaocao with grimaces.

After talking to my brothers and sisters for a while, and explaining the method of decocting herbs, I have to go back—the rabbits on the mountain are harvested every morning and afternoon, and unless the nooses are all removed, they will not be free for a day .

"Brother is going to cook fish soup tonight, everyone go over early to eat!"

The younger ones all cheered.

When the dog left home, Xiao Jiu was still fishing seriously, and there were four or five fish, large and small, in the wooden barrel next to him.

As soon as she saw Gou Sheng come back, Xiao Jiu immediately asked, "Brother, is this enough?"

"Where is this enough, there must be at least eight or nine big ones!" Gou Sheng squatted next to Xiao Jiu and said with a smile.

Xiao Jiu pursed her lips slightly, continued to stare at the buoy, and concentrated on fishing.

Among the people that Gousheng has come into contact with, apart from such strange people as Da Rong, Xiao Jiu is the one who is most likely to be successful in the future. One thing on the forehead, the brain also turns quickly...

Gousheng's house smoked the mosquito-repelling herbs in front and back of the house, and packed up the herbs that were brought back at noon before carrying the rabbit cage and preparing to go up the mountain.

Hua Ya went to Tunzikou with a sewing basket at noon, and learned needlework from a group of women indiscriminately. She didn't learn anything serious, so at least she could sew and mend.

"Gousheng, Gousheng, are you at home?"

"Here we come!" Gou Sheng put down the rabbit cage, walked over quickly and opened the fence gate, "Oh, it's Li Zheng, but he's really a rare visitor, come in and sit!"

It is a military household who still lives in Liushutun for a day, and still has to go through Lizheng for all affairs.

Rabbits have been raised on the mountain for several years, and the clever ones have never been caught, and they are not so afraid of people. Now there are a few rabbits that used to go to the yard to spoil the vegetables. Hurry up every now and then.

"No, I'll send you a letter, there's still a lot of things waiting at home!" He Lizheng said with a smile.

Don't keep any leftovers, just thank Lizheng once.

Hua Ya figured it was time to go to the mountain, packed up her sewing basket and hurried back, just as Gou Sheng was coming out with a letter.

"It's your brother's letter!" Gou Sheng said with a smile.

There was a look of surprise on Hua Ya's face.

Xiao Jiu had already caught enough fish, and hid in the house to read again.

Gou Sheng had a little more money in his hands, so he picked up a few important books for Xiao Jiu and bought them back. The little guy looked like something precious. Gou Sheng looked through it, and reckoned it was similar to the ancient Four Books and Five Classics of the "Heavenly Dynasty" .

"Look!" Gou Sheng handed over the letter and said.

Xiao Jiu reached out to take it.

"Brother, let's see for yourself, tell us if you have anything to say!" Hua Ya stopped Xiao Jiu with a smile that didn't mean anything.

In order to learn how to sew, the little girl hung out with a group of women in the village for a few days, and those aunts couldn't care less about the presence of a little girl when they talked!

It's nothing to worry about, Gou Sheng opened the letter immediately...
