After dealing with the fish fry, Shu Miao quickly ran back to the storage room, picked up the almost full basket of rice ears, and happily went to the empty fields.

She didn't quite understand how to plant rice, but less than half a month ago, she boldly plucked a handful of rice ears from the collective field and planted them in the space.

Judging from the increasingly vigorous growth of the rice seedlings, Shu Miao can now be considered an experienced person.

She first picked all the grains off the rice ears, placed three grains in each hole, and then covered them with a thin layer of soil...

Fortunately, she planted the seeds sparsely, so this little bit of millet was enough to fill up the empty space.

After being busy for the whole morning, Shu Miao's stomach started rumbling again.

She first went to the vegetable garden and picked enough vegetables for tonight's meal.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to cook more for each meal to save the trouble, but she doesn’t have any extra bowls.

After washing the vegetables, she took a walk in the storage room. When faced with the only three remaining pheasant eggs, she struggled for a moment, but finally chose to add some chestnuts for seasoning.

After all, these three pheasant eggs are the only ones she can barely afford.

She has to keep it to exchange for salt!

She originally wanted to catch some fish to exchange for salt, but who would have thought that the fish in the river were so small that she didn't know if they could survive, so no one would want them.

The value of eggs is naturally revealed.

poverty,

Still too poor.

well……

While I was daydreaming, the sweet potato leaf and vegetable soup was ready.

Shu Miao also ate with gusto the two small sweet potatoes and pickles left over from the morning.

I feel sleepy after eating, and after taking a nap, I naturally stop thinking about random things.

After two days of exploration, Shu Miao has given up the idea of ​​looking for food in the team.

After waking up from a nap, I put on my backpack and took my sickle and ran up the mountain.

In addition to collecting firewood and looking for wild fruits, Shu Miao also included wild vegetables in his daily search.

She knew in her heart that since she chose to ask the "auntie" for help, she should put her own value on the table.

Tell the other person in the most direct and concise way that she is worth investing in.

Otherwise, who would be so stupid as to tighten their belt and support her non-blood-related niece to go to school for free?

Being thinking about something did not hinder Shu Miao's hand movements.

Of course, in addition to picking, she also did not forget to dig a few with roots and throw them into the space, including her favorite shepherd's purse.

The shepherd's purse has just grown and is only slightly larger than a fingernail. You can't recognize it unless you look closely.

If you wait for a month or so, it will be the best time to pick them.

It is the season for eating gray vegetables, but Shu Miao is not used to eating them and would rather eat sweet potato leaves for every meal.

She thought that Zili liked to eat cold dishes, so she wanted to pick more.

At worst, if you can’t finish it, you can dry it into vegetables, so it won’t be wasted.

When Shu Miao felt that the time was almost up, he first put the backpack on his chest and then carried a bundle of firewood.

She tried to walk a few steps. Although it was not easy, it was much better than the time when she had difficulty carrying a bundle of firewood.

Although she was much stronger now, there was no need to push herself to the limit and do hard labor.

This reminded me of every time Shu Zili came back carrying firewood, his aunt would complain to him with concern not to carry too heavy things, otherwise he would be weighed down.

Now the word "short" has become Shu Miao's pain point. She will try to avoid any action that may make her shorter!

So she chose to carry only a basket of light wild vegetables back home.

Because she chose a good time period, the gong for the end of work rang as soon as she got home.

Shu Miao first made sure that no one was home before he leisurely took out a bundle of green branches from the space and placed them in the most conspicuous position on the firewood pile.

I guarantee that anyone passing by who is not blind can definitely see it.

Then he started to fetch water to wash the vegetables. After washing a few, he heard the sound of the courtyard door being unlocked.

It was Shu Zili who returned home first again.

When he saw Shu Miao diligently washing vegetables in the yard, he felt uncomfortable for a moment.

I didn't feel comfortable saying hello to her, so I lowered my head and quickly ran back to the house.

Shu Miao seemed to be unaware of anything and continued washing the vegetables.

When Shu Zili came out of the house, he was holding a cloth bag in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other, and he still walked hurriedly past Shu Miao.

Looking at the fleeing figure, Shu Miao's lips curled up slightly.

He grabbed a handful of washed gray vegetables and followed him into the kitchen.

Putting the vegetables on the chopping board and turning to leave, Shu Zili suddenly spoke in that awkward tone again.

"If you want to help the family, you have to do it within your ability. I can barely carry such a big bundle of firewood. As a girl, can't you carry less?"

"If you don't grow taller in the future, I think you..."

"good."

"Huh?" Shu Zili's mumbling was interrupted by the sudden answer before he could finish.

Realizing that he had made some strange and unspeakable cry, he subconsciously covered his mouth, and his tanned face suddenly turned black and red.

Although Shu Miao was laughing in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He walked out of the kitchen slowly, as if he hadn't heard anything just now.

Shu Zili immediately leaned over to take a look at the figure, and seeing that she really had no intention of mocking him, he breathed a sigh of relief and slapped his forehead.

Shu Zili, Shu Zili, how come you are worse than a fool!

Fortunately, my cousin’s brain has not fully recovered yet, otherwise this would be a black history for his whole life!

He rubbed his face hard, barely easing the embarrassment in his heart.

I immediately started to light the fire and cook, for fear that the meal would be late and I wouldn't be able to eat it right away when my mother came back.
