She turned around and glared at him speechlessly, then turned and ran back to her room.
Fu Hong smiled and shook his head, took out a backpack from the small warehouse, and shouted towards her room: "Xiaoxiao, you stay at home alone, I'm going to the mountain."
She rushed out of the room and said to him, "I want to go too."
Fu Hong disagreed, saying, "It's a long way to go, you can't walk."
Fu Xiao blinked his cat eyes, stared at him eagerly, and carefully raised three fingers, "I promise, I will be obedient, and I am in good health, I will not be unable to walk."
Reach out and pull his sleeve and shake it.
Fu Hong raised his eyebrows and watched her act coquettishly, and his heart softened.
I knew I should stay rational at this time, but I still couldn't bear to let her down.
"Okay," he said, pointing to the shoes on her feet, "go change into a pair of comfortable shoes, otherwise your feet will hurt."
Fu Xiao was so happy that she quickly ran to her room to change into a new pair of shoes and put on the small bag her aunt made for her.
Just after changing shoes and preparing to go out, Grandpa Fu walked in from the door. Seeing the two people about to leave, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?"
Fu Hong stepped forward to support him, "Let's go up the mountain, Grandpa, why are you doing this so early?"
Grandpa Fu pushed away his supporting hand and said he would go. "When I woke up this morning, I felt like I had so much energy that I couldn't use it all. So... I went to help them distribute farm tools for a while."
"Xiao Xiao, your medical skills are amazing. I only took this medicinal bath for one day, and the effect is so good."
He smiled and gave her a thumbs up, then looked at the backpack on Fu Hong's back as if he had just reacted, "Going up the mountain? Are you going to take your sister with you?"
Fu Xiao secretly said "not good" and said to Grandpa Fu, "Second brother, I'm leaving first. I'll wait for you outside..."
Seeing her run out in a flash, he laughed and scolded, "You devil girl," then looked at Fu Hong who was laughing at the side and kicked him, "Hurry up and catch up with your sister, remember to keep an eye on her."
The two of them left the house and walked north towards the back mountain. They didn't see many people along the way, only a few young children running and playing. After all, it was working time.
The adults worked in the fields to earn work points, and even the children, who were about the same age, did some work within their ability and could earn two work points a day.
Soon they reached the foot of the mountain. The area at the foot of the mountain was mostly bald, with no wild vegetables. They could only continue walking in. When they reached a high slope, Fu Hong pointed her in a direction.
Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw a vast expanse of endless farmland. The villagers were bending over and working in the fields. Several people were responsible for each piece of land, and they all worked hard.
Men usually carry shoulder poles to water the fields, while women bend over to weed. Occasionally, when they are too tired, they stand up and beat their waists, then immediately bend down and continue working.
Looking at this busy scene, she felt a little sour in her heart.
In that era, this large piece of land was the villagers' means of survival. In this era, there were no large-scale machinery like in later generations. Everything from sowing to harvesting depended on manual labor. If there was bad weather and the harvest was affected, people could starve to death.
No...
People have starved to death. According to what Grandpa Fu told her before he died, there was a severe drought in North China in 1960, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were basically dried up. Many people died. Many people fled from famine at that time. It was during that period of time that many people fled to the mountain villages and settled here. Before that, almost everyone in this village had the surname Fu.
It was the great Grandpa Yuan who developed hybrid rice. Only after the seeds became popular in rural areas were farmers able to truly have enough to eat.
Her thoughts returned to the present, and she saw her aunt wiping her sweat and her eldest brother carrying buckets of water among the busy people in the fields. She felt so distressed seeing this, but in this era of low productivity, industry had basically not developed, let alone machinery, and she was a little helpless.
He turned to look at Fu Hong, "Second brother, let's go down the mountain quickly. I want to bring some water to my aunt."
The two continued to walk inside...
