After putting the poison in place, she left the study and went to the tea room, where she made herself a cup of tea and read a book while sipping it.
When she saw the stack of banknotes in the drawer, she remembered that she had brought the money back from the county town. She had always kept the money with her and forgot to give it to her family.
I was thinking of taking it with me when I leave the space, or giving it to my family, so that I have a reason to buy more things to improve my life.
In the afternoon, Fu Xiao obtained his family's consent, which was rare, and followed his younger brother to collect grass for the pigs. It was not for the two work points, but because it was indeed a bit boring to stay at home.
Since it was her first time to collect grass for pigs, she was still feeling a little fresh. She happily carried the basket on her back and followed Fu Kai up the mountain.
It was a bit awkward when we got there...
There is no other reason, it’s just that the people picking grass for the pigs here are all children, and she should be the oldest one here.
Fu Xiao felt like he had fallen into a nest of children. Most of the children in front of him were thin and small, with dry yellow hair and red faces blown by the wind.
Most children in rural areas are precocious and are brought up in a rough manner, especially girls.
When I was about five or six years old, I followed my older brothers and sisters to collect grass for pigs.
A childish voice sounded beside me. It was my younger brother Fu Kai who came over and said in a low voice, "Sister, let's go over there. I know a place where there are fewer people..."
Although he is still a child, he already has a certain maturity and stability in the way he speaks and acts.
Fu Xiao looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay, then you lead the way."
After saying that, I followed him in another direction. After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the place. There was dense pig grass here, and there were not many people.
Fu Xiao smiled and asked the child who was still walking forward, "Xiao Kai, is this not okay? Why are you still walking forward..."
The little man turned around, looked around with his eyes rolling, said "hush" to her, and said in a low voice: "I'm looking for my friend..."
Fu Xiao thought he was talking about a small animal like a rabbit or a puppy, but he didn't expect he was talking about a person.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a little boy next to him. Fu Kai ran over happily when he saw him, "Xiao Yu'er...you are here,"
The little boy was very happy to see him. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed her presence. His expression immediately changed and he looked panicked. He hid behind Fu Kai.
Fu Kai patted him with his little hands and said in a baby voice, "Don't be afraid, this is my sister. She is a good person and won't bully you."
Fu Xiao was very surprised. She had seen many children in the village before, but she had never seen anyone so scared of her.
After all, she doesn't look scary...
The little boy was wearing ill-fitting clothes with his sleeves and trousers rolled up high. It was obviously an adult's clothing with patches all over it. He was very thin. Because he was too thin, the eyes on his little face looked big, round, and bright. At this moment, his big eyes were looking at her anxiously.
Fu Xiao looked at the thin little boy in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Kai, this is your friend..."
Fu Kai nodded and took the little boy's hand, "Sister, he is a friend I just met. He is very capable and can always find a lot of pig grass... He can earn three work points a day. I want to learn from him..."
Fu Xiao looked at the boy in front of him in surprise. He should be only five or six years old. At such an old age, could he earn three work points a day?
Three centimeters requires a large basket of pig feed. Which adult is so cruel to let a child do so much work? And this is not a girl, but a boy.
Aren’t boys in rural areas the treasures of the family?
Fu Xiao lowered his body and said, "Xiao Yu'er, right? Where are your parents?"
Hearing her ask this, he seemed to become even more panicked and kept backing away.
Fu Kai then said, "Sister, his father and grandfather are working in the cowshed, but I don't think I've ever seen Xiao Yu'er's mother..."
When she heard him say the cowshed, she knew what was going on. This must be a demoted person. What a sin it was for such a young child.
Seeing that he was about to cry, Fu Xiao quickly took out a candy from his pocket, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth, "Be good, don't cry...eat candy."
Fu Kai stared at her eagerly, "Sister, I want one too."
Fu Xiao stuffed another candy into his mouth, and the two children finally behaved themselves.
There was indeed a lot of pig grass in this place. The three of them filled their baskets in less than half an hour. The two children's backpacks were smaller and only weighed about ten kilograms when fully filled. Her backpack was larger and weighed almost thirty kilograms.
No wonder there aren’t many people cutting grass for pigs in this area; it turns out it’s so far away.
It took the three of them longer to go down the mountain than to cut the grass. Along the way, Fu Xiao helped the two children carry the pig grass to the pig farm. After the person in charge checked it and confirmed that there was no problem, the corresponding work points were recorded.
After recording the work points, the three of them returned to the mountain, filled a backpack with water and carried it down the mountain. In the end, she was recorded with three work points, and the two children were recorded with one and a half work points each.
By this time the time was almost up and the mission was completed. Fu Xiao looked at Fu Kai saying goodbye to his friends with amusement.
Fu Xiao walked over, took out a few candies from his pocket and secretly stuffed them into Xiao Yuer's pocket, then took Fu Kai home.
After the two men left, a man came out from behind a big tree nearby, walked up to Xiao Yuer, picked him up and walked back.
Xiao Yuer said to the man a little happily: "Dad, I have made a good friend."
