"No, Second Brother, we'll definitely keep it a secret!"

"It was our second brother. We didn't tell anyone. We caught it all by ourselves after a whole night of hard work."

"Erhu, really! I told you not to tell Erfeng."

"Gaifeng, didn't your mother tell you to stay home and clean the house and cook? You're always running around with Erhu, you little brat, don't you know any shame?"

Gai Feng got angry at everyone's comments, her face turned red, her eyebrows furrowed, her left hand on her hip, and her right hand pointing at Guo Yuxi as she cursed, "You little brat, if you dare to gossip to my mother, I'll beat you up."

Guo Yuxi, nicknamed Erdan, is twelve years old this year. When he heard Gai Feng scolding him, he made a face at Gai Feng and said, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, you bastard chanting scriptures."

"Alright, alright, those who stayed up late last night, hurry home and catch up on your sleep. Those who aren't sleepy, keep catching them. I'm leaving now." Li Xiangdong tore off two more handfuls of grass and covered the cicada molts with them. If you didn't look closely, you would think he was carrying a basket of grass.

No one dared to ask him where he was going. Some went home to sleep, while others continued to catch golden cicada skins. They all scattered in a panic.

Li Xiangdong carried a thorn basket on his back, casually plucked a few "chicken drinking" plants from the riverbank, and pinned them to the front of his little sister's clothes. He also pulled out the purplish-red, trumpet-shaped flowers and stuffed them into his little sister's mouth for her to suck on.

The roots of this flower are sweet, like honey, and people love to pick the flowers of "Chicken Drinking Wine" and eat them as snacks.

The little sister ate with great relish, and Li Xiangdong felt a pang of sadness. He thought about the snacks children had in future generations: imported milk powder, cheese sticks, high-calcium milk-flavored biscuits, deep-sea fish sausages, salmon, beef, and seaweed flakes. Even so, the children didn't like them and had to be chased around and fed by their grandparents. The little sister could only drink rice porridge now, and occasionally a small iron spoon would be used to fry an egg, which was an unparalleled delicacy.

Li Xiangdong secretly resolved that he must earn more money to provide his younger siblings with a comfortable and prosperous life.
