Chapter 102 A hundred times better than Dad!
After the family had finished breakfast, it was not yet half past six, and by this time they had already gone to the fields to earn work points.
Now it is July, which is one of the busiest seasons of the year, or in other words, farmers have almost no free time. The summer harvest has just ended, and they have to weed the spring corn and prune the cotton. In short, every field you see when you go out is filled with farmers bending over and working with hoes.
Even the children were not idle. They carried baskets on their backs to collect grass for pigs, herd cattle and watch sheep, or boiled water at home and poured it into kettles for the adults to take to the fields. They ran back and forth, either because they lacked some farm tools or because they had to carry some seeds for growing new seedlings.
Even the children who attend classes in the village primary school have no rest. They have classes for half a day in the morning and all have to help with work in the fields in the afternoon.
There are also those one or two-year-old babies who cannot walk. Basically, their parents will tie them with cloth straps on their backs and carry them to the fields to work. When the sun gets strong, they will put them under the shade of a tree and have an older child help look after them.
There are four strong laborers in the Zhao family: the old lady who is over 50 years old this year, the eldest son of the Zhao family, the eldest son's wife and the youngest son, Zhao Guozhi. But in reality, Zhao Guozhi always takes leave and is lazy, and his work points are also very scattered.
This is also the main reason why Zhao Yuanyuan thinks that her father's family are vampires.
Seeing the whole family carrying hoes and going to the fields, Zhao Yuanyuan avoided her mother and the twins, turned around and hid behind the house with a backpack on her back.
Under the pretext of climbing the mountain to cut grass for pigs, he actually found a clean place to sit behind a firewood pile not far from the house. When there was no one around, he picked a bag of sweet red strawberries from the spiritual plant space and ate them slowly and enjoyably.
This body is six years old this year, but it has shown signs of long-term malnutrition. She needs to be taken good care of, otherwise she will not get enough nutrition during her growth period, and she will not grow taller, and she will not have much strength.
In the house down the slope behind her, Xie Jiaxiu washed the family's dishes and put them away. After wiping her hands on her apron, she took the twins who had been staying by her side and led them under the eaves.
"Xingxing, Little Moon, do you want to go with your mother to bring water to grandma and grandpa and aunt, or do you want to play by yourselves at home?" Xie Jiaxiu squatted in front of the two cubs, looking at two almost identical little faces. The love in her heart made the smile on her face even gentler.
"Mom, will you come back after delivering the water?" Little Moon stood on tiptoe and stretched out her little hand to touch the straw hat on her mother's head.
"No." Xie Jiaxiu replied gently, "Mom went to deliver water and is working in the fields. She will be back when it's time to make lunch."
After she finished speaking, she had already gotten the answer from the expressions on the two children's faces.
Everyone wants to go with me.
"..." She felt a little helpless, rubbed the heads of the two cubs, and sighed: "It's so hot outside. If you really follow your mother, you will be tanned into two black coal cakes."
Xingxing shook her head and used the scene in her memory to remind her mother: "Mom, break off branches and make a small flower straw hat, then you won't get tanned."
Little Moon also became excited. She loved the crown made of branches! Every time she put it on her head, she thought she looked very pretty, even prettier than her brother!
Because there are only leaves on my brother's head, there are no beautiful flowers~
Seeing that the two little guys insisted on following her, Xie Jiaxiu had no choice but to agree.
The next step is to fill the kettle with cooled boiled water, put it in a basket together with the bowl and farm tools, and carry it to the field where you are working.
The land was not far from home, but it was still too difficult for the two children with short arms and legs to walk.
Perhaps the roads in Shu are always winding, rugged and bumpy. Even though the two children were reminded by their mother to be careful on the road, they still fell several times in succession.
Children are sometimes very tough.
He fell several times along the way, but instead of crying, he got up by himself and continued to enthusiastically hit the flowers and grass on the roadside with a small wooden stick.
This is to drive away snakes. In summer, there are lush and green vegetation everywhere, and the scorching heat is unbearable even for humans, let alone snakes.
Therefore, in many mornings and evenings when it is not so hot, reptiles such as snakes like to appear most.
They hide under the cool shade of trees and in lush grass. Some will be frightened and run away when they hear any noise, while others are obsessed with reproduction and mating, entangled with each other. When startled, you will see a large group of colorful or pitch-black things rolling down the slope in panic.
Xie Jiaxiu is the person who is most afraid of snakes in the family.
Now with two little bodyguards walking beside her, she inexplicably felt that her courage when walking had increased a lot.
Unfortunately, the two little guys were soon attracted by the noisy and sharp chirping of cicadas in the trees.
Little Moon started to act like a spoiled brat.
"Mom, my legs seem to be broken. I can't even walk a little bit~" The fair, tender and cute little girl squatted pitifully in the middle of the road, tears of grievance coming readily. She hugged her knees that could not walk with her little hands, and did not want an adult to hold her. She just wanted her mother to leave her in the road and let her play by herself.
Of course, she also needs to leave her brother behind~
No one knows a girl better than her mother. It can be said that as soon as Xiaoyue raises her butt, Xie Jiaxiu knows what the little girl wants to do.
Fortunately, this place was not far from the end of the field, and it would only take less than three minutes for an adult to walk there. So she did not let the twins follow her, but instead told Xingxing to protect her younger sister, and told Xiaoyueliang to keep an eye on her older brother. If anything happened to either of them, the other cub would be spanked.
After her mother left, Little Moon stood up from the ground, took Star's hand and went into the woods.
"Brother, I want to catch the biggest and most powerful cicada!" The little girl, who is only a small child, has an extremely ambitious goal.
Xingxing was led by her sister and ran, using her supernatural power to silently drive away any snakes that might be hiding nearby.
"Kid, don't climb tall trees, it's very dangerous!" Qiuqiu said urgently.
At this time, Xingxing had been led by her sister to stand under a cypress tree.
Glancing up at the tall trees, his star-sharp vision allowed him to clearly see the cicadas chirping wildly among the branches.
However, perhaps their arrival startled the cicadas around them. For a few seconds, the cicadas on this tree and several nearby trees were unusually quiet.
But this vigilance only lasted for a few seconds, and then it started squeaking again.
Xingxing even avoided the urine that was falling from above.
I don't know if that stain is the urine of the summer cicada...
"Brother~" Little Moon looked at him with bright eyes.
Without waiting for Xingxing to speak, she happily clung to his hand and urged him in a baby voice: "Brother, hold me, I will climb up and catch the one that screams the loudest!!"
Very bold and domineering.
But the reality is that the combined height of the two children would have to be doubled to just reach the branches above the cypress tree.
Xingxing didn't try to reason with her sister.
He squatted down and, as his sister had wished, held onto the tree trunk to use as a small stool for her to climb up.
Then she waited quietly while her sister tried again and again, until she finally gave up in frustration.
They had no choice but to give up, because the noise they made had already scared away all the cicadas in the trees.
After failing to catch the cicada, Little Moon's palms were rubbed painfully by the rough bark, and her tears of grievance seemed particularly real.
"Brother, it hurts~" The little girl spread out her dirty little black hands, crying out of grievance.
She spread her little hands in front of her brother and pleaded softly: "Brother, huhu~"
Qiuqiu: “!!”
Is this the difference between raising zombie cubs and raising human cubs?
In the past, Xingxing never shed tears when she was hurt, and when she was wronged she would just keep her mouth shut and act like a silent little mute.
But it’s not like that for Little Moon. Even if she feels only a little bit of pain, it will be magnified to ten points by her tears and expressions.
The most important thing is that the brother and sister share the same face!
When I think of the star with this face, I feel tears in her eyes, holding her dirty little hands and saying that she is in pain and wants to cry... Qiuqiu has successfully put herself into the picture through imagination and has been successfully moved by the cuteness.
Woo woo woo woo my mom, my grandma, my coat, my jacket, my baby has become a cute baby! !
No wonder Xie Jiaxiu pretended to cry while looking at Xiaoyueliang just now and couldn’t even hold on for a minute.
If it were it, Xingxing wouldn't even have to say anything. Just a glance and Qiuqiu would be willing to sacrifice his life for Xingxing!
Xie Jiaxiu actually has two of these soft and adorable pups! !
"Kid! Do you want cicadas? Do you want them? If you want them, I will help you knock them down! Knock down seven, eight, nine... one hundred of them!" Qiuqiu felt that at this moment, his whole body was bursting with endless energy!
Xingxing held her sister's hand, but before she could blow on it, she was frightened by the ball.
The child blinked, not understanding why Qiuqiu was so excited.
Not understanding and not thinking too deeply about it, he continued to lower his head and blow on his sister's hands, while grasping his sleeves to slowly wipe the red palms of his sister's hands clean.
"Still catching?" After finishing, Xingxing asked Little Moon.
Little Moon shook her head in frustration and complained with a pout: "It's not fun at all! I won't play with them anymore. Let them go home to find their parents!"
It sounds like she's a nice person.
Xingxing pinched her sister's short fingers and led her into the woods.
"Then let's go find Little Sweet Fruit."
In the plot, the day the younger sister went missing, it was because she felt sorry for her brother’s broken leg and wanted to cheer him up, so she wanted to find some sweet fruit for her brother to eat.
Unfortunately, Little Yueliang did not find the bunch of sweet fruits, and Zhao Chenxing never ate any wild fruits in the mountains again.
"Brother, is the sweet fruit sweet?" Little Moon happily jumped and followed behind her brother. When she heard about food, she immediately forgot the pain in her hand.
Xingxing found the right direction in the dense forest and answered as he walked: "Yeah, it's sweet."
"Is it sweeter than the candies made by the little rabbits?" Little Moon smacked her lips and began to miss the sweet milk candy she had in the morning.
Hearing this, Xingxing paused suspiciously, and her childish and soft voice became less certain, "I don't know, maybe they are all very sweet?"
Little Moon exclaimed "Wow~" and praised him in a very supportive manner: "Brother is so awesome! Brother is the most awesome brother in the world. I love brother so much. I am so happy~"
The elder brother secretly gave Little Moon the sweetest candy and took Little Moon to find the sweetest little sweet fruit. The elder brother would also protect Little Moon and wipe her hands when she was hurt...
Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but yelled out like a little animal in the dense forest: "Brother is the best! A hundred times better than daddy!!"
The little moon doesn't know that she actually has two star brothers. From the moment the contract is reached, she will be the happiest and brightest little moon in the world.
