When Yitiao saw the biscuit crumbs on Jiutiao's hand, he immediately picked him up and took him to wash his hands.

"Oh~" Seeing that he was being carried into the air, Jiujo attacked with his two little fists, not letting any of his brother go.

.......When the two kids saw that their hands were covered with sticky stuff, they all ran ahead to wash their hands, talked for a while, and then sat down at the table to start doing their homework.

Qi Tiao glanced at the clock on the wall, then sat on the sofa and swung his feet. "Mom said she'd be back at five, and it's been so long, and she still hasn't come back..."

Ba Tiao didn't believe it, so he ran to the clock and counted carefully. He confirmed that it was past five o'clock. He stared at it with his big black eyes and started counting on his fingers.

Mom said if they weren't back by five o'clock, she'd give them something delicious. The more boxes there were, the more delicious food they'd get...

Cheng Zhenzhu, who was being watched by two brambles, was still walking halfway up the mountain. Looking at the setting sun in the west, her mood brightened. With two swings of her axe, she chopped down the brambles blocking her path.

Half an hour later.

"Aiqing's family, did you pick any mushrooms? Did you encounter anything?" When Cheng Zhenzhu was going down the mountain, Chen Xiuhua saw her empty basket with a few mushrooms in it, and walked up to her and asked a few questions with concern.

"Not much." Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at the attention, spread her hands, and said with some regret, "Just half a bowl. The trees above are too dense, and I dare not go any further. I didn't encounter anything... Why does Aunt Xiuhua ask that?"

Chen Xiuhua glanced at Cheng Zhenzhu again and found that apart from some grass leaves on her clothes and hair, she didn't seem to be in any trouble. She touched her heart and said as if she was still in shock, "Right! Don't go up. It's not worth it for those mushrooms!"

You just came down the mountain and didn't know that Yu Zhiqing suddenly rolled down and was bitten on the foot by a snake. She has been sent to the health center... I don't know when she went up the mountain, but when she came down, her mouth was all black and blue. Fortunately, she is not seriously injured now..."

The mouth turned black, so it must be a venomous snake. I think it was this Yu Zhiqing who was following me back then. She was definitely the only one on the island who was so bored.

At that time, she was walking up the mountain and felt that someone was following her. She didn't think of anyone except Yu Xiaoyue and just shook him off. Now that she was bitten by a poisonous snake, she didn't know what to say.

Why didn't they learn their lesson? After a few years, they should have known that anything bad would happen if they got involved with them with malicious intent... Although it was their own fault, Cheng Zhenzhu expressed deep sympathy for Yu Zhiqing's tragic experience, saying, "I'm glad he's alright."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Xiuhua said, sighing, "Alas, how could Yu Zhiqing be so good at causing trouble? He's almost exhausted, and yet he's still restless every other day. What if something goes wrong..."

Chen Xiuhua didn't like Yu Xiaoyue, the educated youth. She said she was from the capital, but the way she was being picky and probing really didn't seem like her. Before, she looked up to city dwellers, but now... Regardless of whether Yu Xiaoyue was from Taipei or not, she didn't like him. He was like a troublemaker!

Cheng Zhenzhu quietly listened to Aunt Xiuhua complaining about Yu Xiaoyue, occasionally responding. Seeing the sun setting again, she decided to say goodbye and go home. "...Auntie, I'm worried about the children being home alone, so I'm going back first."

"Oh, okay, go ahead." Chen Xiuhua was enjoying herself, but she felt a little disappointed when she saw Aiqing's family leaving. However, Aiqing's family only had a few children, so she couldn't persuade them to stay...

"Brother San Tiao, how do I answer this question?" Liu Tiao looked at the math problem in the homework book, frowned and thought for a while. He revised the answer several times, and even picked off the eraser on the pencil. Finally, he decided to seek help from outside.

"Let me take a look." Er Tiao leaned over. He was already in the fourth grade, so he was confident in answering the six questions.

Seeing Nijou go help his younger brother Rokujou, Sanjou continued with the last question. After finishing, he couldn't help but glance outside. The sky was starting to change color, and his mother hadn't returned yet. He was a little worried...

"This question." Liu Tiao pointed to the dark spot on his homework book that his brother Er Tiao had scribbled on. He wrote down a few answers, but none of them seemed right, so he scribbled them.

"Second brother, teach me." Liu Tiao was still very humble and didn't pick on any of his brothers. Anyway, he didn't know how to do it, so any brother who knew how to do it would do it for him...

Er Tiao looked at the dark mass on the homework book and frowned instantly. What is this? However, under his brother's expectant gaze, Er Tiao still tried hard to decipher the questions.

After a while, there was no result.

"You can't read the question clearly, which affects my ability to solve it." Er Tiao said seriously with a stern face.

"Big brother?" When Liu Tiao saw his second brother say this, he knew that he could not be relied on, so he turned around and went to look for his eldest brother.

When it comes to the subject of mathematics, Yitiao has always maintained a humble attitude and is not blindly optimistic. Even the elementary school questions like Liutiao's seem to be very well thought out.

After careful consideration, Yitiao told Liutiao with absolute certainty that the answer was "2".

When Liu Tiao heard this, his eyes lit up and he happily filled in the answers in his homework book. He said, "Well, the big brother is really the best!" The second brother would say he couldn't see clearly. He never said he couldn't...

"Brother, brother, I want to find mom~" Jiu Tiao saw his four brothers lying on the table doing their homework. He hugged his two little arms and nestled between his seventh and eighth brothers, feeling very bored.

"Let's go to the yard and wait for Mom?" Qi Tiao suggested.

Bajo nodded, "Yeah, wait for mom!"

Then the three of them carried their small stools and sat in a row at the gate of the yard, their eyes rolling around, afraid of missing their mother.

Four and five, who were lying on the doorstep of the woodshed, healing themselves, saw their three little masters suddenly enter the yard. They immediately got up, tucked their tails between their legs, and fled back to their nest in the woodshed...

It was at this time that Cheng Zhenzhu arrived home.

As soon as they saw Cheng Zhenzhu, the three brothers' eyes lit up.

"Mom! Mom, mom, mom!" Jiu Tiao immediately ran forward and hugged his mother's thighs.

Qi Tiao and Ba Tiao were standing on the left and right, with the same happy smile on their little faces.

"Have you been waiting for your mother at home obediently?" Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the three little cubs running towards him affectionately and grabbed their heads.

"Yes, we will all be good!" Yatiao said immediately.

Qi Tiao also nodded, they were very good. Jiu Tiao also took a good poop, and they helped Jiu Tiao clean it up, so that his clothes didn't get dirty...

"Good boy, good boy~" Jiu Tiao grinned and stretched out his arms, asking for a hug. But seeing that his mother seemed a little tired, she turned her hands away and started hugging his arms again, raising her little head with some pride.
