The people present just looked at Liu Qian. He was like a monkey moving corn, randomly chopping down a tree in the distance, and when he found that it didn't work, he changed to another one.
He seemed to have some quirks. He only chopped down trees that looked unique. Some of them were crooked, and some had knots...
He kind of looks down on those who are straightforward.
Little do people know that even if it is something that is easier to cut, the straighter it is, the less effort it will take.
As a result, before half of the time had passed, his strength had been consumed and he was extremely tired.
In contrast, the three children do things in a relaxed and appropriate manner.
They were looking for dry firewood that they could get at their age.
After all, they have to accompany the adults to chop firewood in the mountains every day, so they have rich experience.
In addition, Zhao Wei promised them that if they defeated Liu Qian, he would buy each of them a pair of Liberation Shoes.
Although we are used to going barefoot, who doesn’t want to put on shoes and let others envy them?
The hands of the three children are no longer the hands of tender children. They are rough and covered with calluses, which are the marks left by years of hard work.
On the other hand, Liu Qian was almost unable to hold the axe at this time. His hands had been covered with blisters from the previous chopping, making him grimaced in pain.
At this time, he had given up chopping trees and turned to picking up dead branches and rotten wood.
I just didn't expect that after picking up two big arms of dead branches, I was frightened by one of them.
There was a very thin black snake coiled on it.
Such a big spicy strip almost scared him to death, and he kept screaming there.
A villager behind him couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the spicy strip and threw it far away, which made the young master calm down.
When cutting wood in the mountains, these things can happen at any time. Country people must have the courage to catch snakes. The villager said speechlessly: "Can you do it? It's really... a waste of expression. My five-year-old daughter dares to catch snakes when she sees them. No one will be like you."
"If you can't do it, just announce the end and stop embarrassing yourself."
Liu Qian was in a panic at this time and had already been frightened.
I looked at the time and found that more than half an hour had passed.
He has persisted for so long, he won't give up now.
So, he tried hard to overcome his fear and continued to collect firewood.
Time passes by every second.
Finally, Zhao Wei blew the whistle, ending this game without any suspense.
Everyone only took one look at the pile of firewood of the four people and came to the conclusion that Liu Qian had lost miserably.
The three children are very efficient.
The firewood was piled high, and there were also several dead branches that they had cut themselves.
Especially the 6-year-old child, who had been picking up dead branches and did not have enough strength to cut down trees.
But compared to Liu Qian, he picked up more dead branches.
Liu Qian was very upset when he saw the result.
He shouldn't have gotten carried away and chosen to go against Zhao Wei.
How could this cousin let him win!
After realizing this, he became a little disappointed. It seemed that he had suffered a great blow.
Zhao Wei gave each of the winning children 2.6 yuan and asked them to buy their own shoes.
This was earned by their own abilities, and when they received the money, they were so happy that they almost went crazy.
Their families were so proud of them. They hugged them and kissed them again and again, treating them like treasures. They carried them on their shoulders and brought them back to the village.
Along the way, he would also publicize it to those villagers who were unable to see the results, wishing that everyone in the village would know that he had a capable boy.
Liu Qian curled his lips and said with some disdain: "What's the big deal? I lost because I have no experience. If I had lived in the village for ten or eight years, I would be no worse than them, humph!"
"No, even if you live in the village for 10,000 years, you are still such a loser with no skills at all."
Zhao Wei's words were somewhat hurtful. Liu Qian said angrily, "I know you look down on me. What happens to me has nothing to do with you. You don't need to make fun of me here!"
"Tsk tsk... you get excited when I say a few words to you. Don't you see that other people's children are just a little kid, but they know how to work and help the adults to reduce their burden."
"But you are so lucky. You grew up in vain and relied on your mother to take care of everything. Without her, you are nothing."
Liu Qian was speechless when hearing this.
Because that's how he seemed to have come.
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with this before, but now that someone has pointed it out to me, I still feel embarrassed.
It's more heartbreaking than when I lose.
Zhao Wei did not let him go, and continued: "Gu, you have to earn food for two people by yourself. Not only do you have to participate in training, but you also have to work in the fields, and you have to act like a man. After all, who told you that you don't have a father to support you now."
"If a person works too much, he will die of exhaustion. If you want to be an orphan, just pretend I never said this."
"When the day comes that you tire me to death, you can just become a beggar! No one will support you anymore!"
That’s all I have to say. If Liu Qian still pursues pleasure and refuses to repent, then there is nothing much I can say. Just let him fend for himself.
When he carried the firewood he had picked up back home, he saw Zhao Nan coming back with a hoe on his shoulder, walking in the afterglow of the setting sun.
She used to be a pampered person, but now she was dressed like a peasant woman, covered with dust and dirt, no longer as glamorous as before.
