Shu Miao paused and looked back at her blankly.
"Where did you get the chestnuts that day?" Li Qiao frowned slightly, his face serious.
Then I thought about Shu Miao's brain, and guessed that he couldn't explain it clearly, so I changed my explanation.
"Did you meet the captain when you went up the mountain to pick chestnuts?"
As soon as he said that, Li Qiao still felt something was wrong and was about to change his words again.
Shu Miao nodded and said, "Yes, there were a lot of people."
Although she did not clearly see that the person who came was the team leader, just looking at the past few days in the team, she saw that many houses had the fragrance of chestnuts wafting out, which was also a disguised proof that the chestnut forest was indeed related to their Yanhe Team.
"What!" Li Qiaoben just asked casually, but he didn't expect that he would hit the mark by accident.
She widened her eyes in surprise, thinking of something, and asked again eagerly,
"Well, did they see you?"
"I was squatting and digging wild vegetables, they didn't see me." Shu Miao lied without blinking.
"Is that so..." Li Qiao nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, she asked again.
"Do you remember where that place is?"
"Remember."
Li Qiao bit her chopsticks with a distressed look on her face. Considering all the previous doubts, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
When he looked at Shu Miao again, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
"Okay, I get it. Go do what you need to do."
Shu Miao didn't ask her why she asked this. She quickly washed the dishes and carried half a bucket of hot water back to the room.
God knows she would have been asleep by this time normally. If she hadn't been hungry, she would have given up.
After washing up, I couldn't wait to fall on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day,
Another day of waking up late,
After washing up, Shu Miao came to the kitchen refreshed and saw Zi Li chewing a sweet potato with a bitter look on his face. He blinked in surprise.
Doesn’t he usually accompany his aunt to work at this time?
The moment Shu Zili saw Shu, it was like he saw a fellow sufferer, his mouth drooped, and he looked pitiful.
"My chicken leg is gone, my mom sent it back!"
Shu Miao blinked, it turned out that the meat in the pot last night was chicken!
She felt a little hungry just thinking about it.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of what he overheard that day. The pot of chicken should be the old hen that He Sheng mentioned that still doesn't lay eggs.
As for why the aunt accepted it and then returned it, it was probably because she thought the man was too cowardly.
But think about it, it's really useless for a grown man to be so cowardly as to stand by and watch his "girlfriend" get scolded!
No wonder Zili treated him so badly yesterday. This kind of coward is really not worthy of an aunt!
It seems that the aunt is not only good at fighting, but also has a good eye for people!
However, the young man who came to help was actually the captain's youngest son.
That is one of the children that the Shu brothers risked their lives to save.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the causes, consequences and prerequisites of the drowning of the Shu brothers.
The small river in the village is a tributary of a turbulent river. Although the flow of this tributary is slow in the area along the river, it seems to be harmless.
However, at the junction of the river and its tributaries, whirlpools of various sizes often form, which look very scary.
However, between 1959 and 1961, three consecutive years of drought caused the tributaries to dry up and the water level in the river to bottom out.
In order to ensure that there would be a continuous harvest of crops in the fields, the entire brigade went to the river to fetch water to irrigate the farmland.
Watching the adults fetch water from the river every day, the children became much braver.
As the drought passed, the tributaries belonging to the river brigade were filled with water again.
As luck would have it, the older children had long forgotten the adults' instructions and quietly went to the river to swim.
Of course, they would choose a remote place to swim. After not being discovered for several times, they became more and more courageous.
It was inevitable that it would be discovered after so many times, but the people who discovered it were a group of children who were only five or six years old and didn't even know what danger was.
I quietly followed the older child to the river, and that's when the accident happened.
The older children had all been informed about the dangers of whirlpools and were afraid to rescue children who fell into the water.
In panic, he could only run to the brigade headquarters to ask for help, and happened to meet the two brothers of the Shu family who came to cast their nets.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers rushed over without saying a word and worked together to rescue the children one by one.
In the end, no one knew who lost strength first. The two brothers had always had a good relationship, so they naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. In the end, they both drowned.
Grandma Shu, who had already shown signs of dying, followed him to the grave upon hearing the news.
In the chaos, the original mother was frightened and went into labor. She struggled for a whole day and gave birth to the child in the early morning of July 15th.
The original mother left here for unknown reasons after the child was one month old, leaving behind only a piece of jade of good quality.
Until the beginning of this year, Grandpa Shu could no longer bear the illness and fell ill.
Li Qiao sold everything she could at home and outside, but her father-in-law's illness still showed no improvement. Finally, she gritted her teeth and set her sights on the jade stone left by her original mother.
Grandpa Shu knew that his time was up and that any effort he made would be a waste of money, so he naturally tried his best to stop it.
The original body followed the noise and was accidentally hit on the head.
The above is the original body’s family situation.
Half of it was heard from the aunt, and the other half was extracted from the discussions among the members last night.
She also secretly asked Zili about it in a roundabout way, and the situation was not bad.
I don't know where that piece of jade went, but considering what Auntie said about the family owing a lot of foreign debts to help Grandpa, I guess they sold it...
