Chapter 1196 Don't Give It
In the village, no one burns charcoal. Charcoal is an expensive and extravagant thing, and only those wealthy people can use it. The people in the village use the firewood they pick up and burn it.
This firewood is all over the place, and it can be sold for a few pennies, and it can be exchanged for salt and the like, which is also a good income.
Shen Qingci is not a lazy person, even if the fifth uncle and his wife now regard her as their own daughter, she still can't do the kind of thing that comes with clothes to stretch out her hands and mouth to eat.
Collecting firewood for laundry, cooking and feeding pigs, she has done everything she can, and she has learned what she can't.
But it seems that she doesn't know too much, and most of them are also known to her. Take cooking as an example. In fact, the rice cooked by the fifth uncle's house is very simple. It's good, and the kitchen is also dominated by the fifth aunt. The fifth aunt never lets anyone in, so Shen Qingci does most of the fire. inside.
Aunt Wu and their lands are all planted evenly for others. They don’t have strong labor. Even if they have land, they can’t grow anything. Moreover, there is a little treasure to take care of, and Uncle Wu has to visit the doctor at any time. , the work in this field is often delayed, so in the end, the land is given to others to plant, and it is enough to give some food a year. Take other people's, so in good years, give more, and in bad years, give less, that's fine.
Therefore, as far as other families in the village are concerned, the fifth uncle's family is indeed very little.
Shen Qingci also used this time to go up the mountain to find things every day, and with her here, let's not mention the wild vegetables that she dug every day, and the wild eggs she picked up from time to time, and they were also put on the table of the fifth uncle's house. There are more vegetables, more eggs, and more firewood. It will fill a firewood house. These firewood can be used for more than one winter.
Even so, Shen Qingci still went to the mountains to collect firewood every day. In fact, the most important thing was to find something that could be used to make incense.
In the past few days, the fifth uncle is going out to treat people again, and the fifth aunt seems to be helping people cook, taking Xiaobao away together. Shen Qingci stayed here alone, and she also took advantage of the lack of People, took out the spice raw materials that they found.
It took about half a day to make more than 20 fragrant beads. After she put all these incense beads in her purse, when her fingers touched the purse, her fingers stopped. It was involuntarily stabbed.
She put down her purse again, flattened her clothes, and then began to clean the house. She also cleaned the house one by one, even the dead leaves outside.
The contents in the purse gained some weight compared to the original, and for Shen Qingci, this weight was nothing but safety.
She rolled up her sleeves and put her hands in the water. The waves in the water flickered slightly, and then she vaguely saw her now swollen face. King Feng Lun wiped half of her face. The erythema is surprisingly gone. She is also like a different person. Her face is bigger, her eyes are smaller, and her skin is dark. The erythema that King Fenglun smeared on her is also gone, just the rest. A deformed black face.
And this is definitely not something that can be disguised by human beings. No matter how good the disguising technique is, it is impossible to make people so realistic. Even the expressions and expressions have changed greatly.
It's pretty ugly, she flattened her mouth, but who is so ugly, who says it's not a blessing, with such a face, she can't help but say about her going home, it will be safer this way.
She really can't take too much toss.
The days pass by in the village without taste. The people in the village pass like this every day, working at sunset, resting at sunrise, and even the birds in the courtyard flew over early. Just want to eat the grain that people drop on the ground.
Shen Qingci carried his bamboo basket on his back again, and he was ready to go to the mountains.
"aunt."
Xiaobao ran over, and also ran over Shen Qingci's legs.
"Where is aunt going, can you take Xiaobao there?"
Shen Qingci shook his head and gestured with his hand, meaning he couldn't go.
"But Little Treasure wants to go," Little Treasure pouted his little mouth. All the brothers in the village, Dashan and Xiaoshan, went out. He was the only one who couldn't go. Dashan said, there are so many fun things in the mountains, and he can even catch a little rabbit. Yes, he wants a little rabbit right now, it will make others envy to death, and in the whole village, there is only a little rabbit from Sister Xiaohua, the rabbit is so cute, he just wants a rabbit .
Shen Qingci still shook his head, and then pointed to the inside, intending to let him go back.
The mountains are too dangerous, the adults go and they are all three-pointed, not to mention she is such a little baby.
Who else would take such a small baby up the mountain, even if they were left unattended, no one would take them up.
Little Treasure pouted his little mouth, but in the end he was very reluctant to give up, and he went back three steps. The little mouth was all pouted, but he could hang up the oil bottle. Aunt Wu stretched out his hand and scratched Xiaobao's little mouth. Face.
"Milk……"
Xiaobao didn't want it anymore. He was sulking alone, like a puppy who was left behind.
Aunt Wu sat down and then touched her grandson's little head.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
This kid was brought up by her single-handedly. From childhood to adulthood, he was full of feces and urine. He worked so hard to raise him to such a large size, and how difficult it was, only she, a nurse, would know.
Although Xiaobao has neither father nor mother, she and the old man have never treated him badly. The food is used by him.
Therefore, it can be said that she is truly worthy of this grandson, and she is worthy of her lost son and daughter-in-law.
"Milk……"
Xiaobao threw herself into Aunt Wu's arms and rubbed her little head in her arms.
"Milk, sister Xiaohua has a very beautiful little bunny at home. It was caught in the mountains."
"you want?"
The fifth aunt couldn't help laughing and crying. This is because she has grown her heart, and she knows how to act secretly.
"Well," Xiaobao grinned.
"Milk, can you ask your aunt to take Xiaobao there, and Xiaobao is going to catch one too."
"Auntie won't take you there," Aunt Wu clenched her grandson's little head, "Auntie wants to find eggs for you to eat, otherwise, you won't have eggs to eat."
And when there are no eggs to eat, Xiaobao's little face is very bitter, and he has to eat an egg every day.
"You."
Aunt Wu tapped Xiaobao's small forehead, "I want to play and eat, but I must not be so greedy."
