From the end to the other world

After Shang Qingyue left, she followed the path she came from and found her own firewood under the tree.Because Qin Luochuan put the firewood against the tree trunk before, even though it rained heavily for so long, it was not completely drenched.

He tried to carry it, but fortunately, although it was much heavier than before, he could barely carry it.Therefore, I am even more grateful to Qin Luochuan and his son. If they hadn't kept him for a meal, and he was tired and hungry, he might not have been able to pick up the firewood.

If there is no firewood to go back, he will not even think about having a good life in the next few days.

One troublesome matter was avoided, and Shang Qingyue's footsteps became much lighter. Even when he got home, he saw the cold pot and stove, and the locked cupboard door, which didn't spoil his good mood. After all, it wasn't early. As expected, his eccentric grandmother was in charge of the house, so how could she leave food for him after the meal time.

The female relatives of the family were all doing needlework in the main room. After seeing him coming out of the kitchen, the grandmother and the eldest aunt just raised their eyelids and looked at her, then immediately lowered their heads and continued with the work at hand, as if they were afraid that he would open his mouth to eat. the same.

Only the third aunt raised her head and said in greeting: "Qingyue is back, it's raining, go and change quickly, so as not to catch a cold."

"Yeah." Shang Qingyue nodded in response. Even if the third aunt didn't say anything, he planned to change clothes first. After all, in this situation, if he was sick, no one in the family would be willing to spend money on him Grab medicine.

He is a twin, even if it is a family, it is inconvenient to live with the men in the family, let alone the female family members, so he is divided into a small room farthest from the main house, which is quiet.

The room is small and small. After placing two benches and a simple bed made of a large wooden board, there is not much space left. The only box is placed at the foot of the bed, containing several sets of laundry.

After retying her hair, Shang Qingyue held the changed clothes and planned to wash them. He had to cherish these few sets of clothes.

As a result, when he opened the door to go out, he almost bumped into the sneaky Shang Minghuai outside.

Shang Minghuai is the son of his third uncle. He is ten years old this year and his height reaches Shang Qingyue's chest. Seeing the door open, he slipped in through the crack of the door and whispered, "Third brother, close the door."

Although Shang Qingyue's father was a descendant of the same uncle as her uncle, before his death, for some reason, she had a better relationship with her third uncle who was a concubine. Shang Qingyue herself had a good relationship with this cousin, so she heard He begged softly, then turned and closed the door.

After the door was closed, Shang Minghuai did not relax. He first walked to the door and listened to the movement outside for a while. After confirming that there was no one there, he locked the door again.

Then he carefully took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, handed it to Shang Qingyue and said, "Third brother, my mother asked me to give you this."

After finishing speaking, Shang Minghuai pursed his lips and swallowed.

Seeing this, Shang Qingyue raised her eyebrows. She picked up the cloth bag and opened it. Inside was a piece of corn that was not much longer than an adult's index finger, and it was pitted, and the corn kernels did not cover the entire corn cob.

But even such a small piece of corn is definitely not what the third aunt can keep. Even if the third aunt is cooking today, how much can be cooked and how much is served on the table is all watched by the grandmother.

And the third aunt left it for him, so she can only eat less.

Shang Qingyue was in a complicated mood, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Third Aunt, for me."

"No need," Shang Minghuai shook his head, "Mother said that her work at home is much easier, and it doesn't hurt to eat less, but you go to the mountains every day, and you can't live without food."

This was the first time that the third uncle's family made such a clear gesture of affection after arriving in Lijia Village. While Shang Qingyue was moved, she was even more surprised.

After leaving the capital, although the members of this family are still living together on the surface, everyone has their own little thoughts behind the scenes, and he himself is no exception.

Because of the uncle, the whole family fell into this situation, but even so, the grandmother still favors the uncle's family, so although the cousin is a man, he does not do as much in the family as he does.

Not to mention the uncle, who was tortured in the capital at that time, now it is good not to be served every day, and he does not do any work at home.

Although the eldest aunt and cousin do some, they are all lighter housework or needlework. The family can be said to live the most comfortable life.

Besides, the third uncle's family, although there is a lot of work, at least the family is together and can take care of each other.

He was the only one, his parents had passed away, and his elder brother left to join the army. In this family, he was the one who was most likely to be isolated and bullied the most.

So after receiving the message of goodwill, Shang Qingyue decided to accept their kindness, although he still didn't know what the other party's purpose was.

But no matter what it is for, as long as the other party is willing to point to him, it's fine, otherwise, if something happens, there will be no one in the family to talk to him. After all, as a twin, they don't have much right to speak at home.

When Shang Qingyue, who was thinking about her thoughts, came back to her senses, she found that Shang Minghuai was looking at the corn in her hand eagerly, couldn't help laughing, broke off half of it and handed it over, "Here, you'll share these."

"I... I've eaten it, and it's for you." Shang Minghuai shrank his hands back and said.

"Take it," Shang Qingyue didn't reveal what she had eaten, but said, "I've been drenched in the rain today, so I don't have much appetite."

When he said this, Shang Minghuai did not refuse any more, and started to gnaw on the corn. After eating all the corn kernels, he said again: "It's raining today, and grandma said that mushrooms will definitely grow in Tianshan Mountain. I will go with you to pick mushrooms in the mountains tomorrow."

It has been a while since I came to Lijia Village, and Shang Minghuai has never been in the mountains before, so he was very worried about going to the mountains to pick mushrooms tomorrow, so he pulled Shang Qingyue by the sleeve and asked, "Third brother, who is the mushroom picker?" How far is the place, and the road is not difficult to walk."

"The road is not difficult," Shang Qingyue comforted, "If you can't walk, we can go to a nearby mountain."

***

Although the rain stopped in the afternoon, Qin Luochuan didn't bother to go out anymore. Anyway, the foundation has been drenched for a long time. If it is damaged, he can't fix it now. Get wet.

Qin Yan had the same thoughts as him, both father and son were big-hearted, or rather, they didn't pay much attention to this matter, what to do, and everything will be discussed tomorrow.

When Qin Luochuan went to check it early the next morning, he didn't know whether to feel that they were lucky, or that the craftsman's craftsmanship was good, and the foundation was done not long ago, and it rained for a long time, but nothing happened.

After checking back and forth, Qin Luochuan was quite satisfied after confirming that there was no problem. He thought in his heart that if there is no heavy rain next, the house should be built in less than a month, and then the things can be slowly removed from the mountain. Move out and live in a new house before winter.

On the way back, I heard the voices of children talking and fighting in the mountains. I remembered that it rained yesterday. There should be a lot of wild mushrooms growing in the mountains today. These children came to pick mushrooms.

I didn't expect that, but when I thought about it, I was easily aroused by the deliciousness of the mushrooms in my memory. After climbing over two mountains, I still couldn't hold back, turned into the nearby woods, and found the mushrooms.

The only thing that made him depressed was that everyone knew that mushrooms would grow when it rained. It is estimated that children from several nearby villages came to the mountains. Qin Luochuan didn't find many mushrooms, but saw more children than mushrooms.

He is used to talking and doing things casually, but he is very popular with the children in the village. Everyone greeted him happily when they saw him. After talking for some reason, who proposed to go to his house to ask for water? .

After spending a long time in the mountains, many people were thirsty, so when this matter was brought up, many children echoed it.

Qin Luochuan was so disturbed by everyone that he had long since lost the intention of looking for mushrooms. He took a unique mushroom that he had picked, and nodded in agreement with the children's request.

They were all half-grown children, how could they know how to avoid causing trouble to others? Seeing Qin Luochuan nodding in agreement, he began to greet his friends and invite them to drink water together, not to mention the nearby ones, maybe even the few next door. Everyone on the mountain can hear it.

Sure enough, before they left, several more children ran over panting, expressing their desire to go together.

Qin Luochuan agreed to the ones in the front, but he couldn't refuse the ones in the back, so he simply waved his hand, like a king of children, leading a large group of children, and walked towards his home mightily.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a ten-year-old boy walking out of the corner, and said timidly, "Can you wait for me, I want to go too, but I have to tell my third brother first."

Only then did Qin Luochuan realize that he had never seen this child before, and his heart moved, and he asked, "Where is your third brother?"

"He's also in this mountain," the little boy said, "I'll go and talk to him, and I'll be back soon."

"Okay, you can go." For some reason, Qin Luochuan had an intuition that the third brother the little boy was talking about was someone he knew.

Sure enough, the little boy came back not long after, followed by a helpless Shang Qingyue, just like Qin Luochuan guessed that the little boy's brother was him, when Shang Minghuai said he wanted to go to someone else's house to drink water with the villagers, he immediately Knowing that it must be Qin Luochuan, he didn't feel thirsty at first, but he still followed.

As soon as they saw them coming, the children who were waiting for them immediately chased each other to Qin Luochuan's house, but left him behind.

Seeing Shang Qingyue sweating profusely from the heat on his forehead, Qin Luochuan smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go drink some water and rest for a while."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue nodded in response, anyway, he picked a lot of mushrooms today, and after drinking the water, he can go back to the mountains and go home.

As soon as he turned around, Qin Luochuan saw the mushrooms behind him that almost filled the whole basket, and then looked at the deserted one in his hand, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you pick so many?"

"Xiaohuai and I picked it together," Shang Qingyue explained, "and we were the first ones here."

Qin Luochuan had nothing to say now. Although he lived in the mountains, he really wouldn't run into the woods early in the morning just to find mushrooms.

The children came and went in a hurry, and after drinking the water, they left in a swarm, and Shang Qingyue naturally followed.

After Qin Luochuan came out of the kitchen, he saw a pile of fresh mushrooms on the table, so he asked casually, "Who gave it to you?"

Qin Yan glanced at him, and said with an expression that still needs to be asked: "Who else is it besides Qingyue?"
