Chapter 5: Annoying Neighbors



The sun was at its highest point and it was already noon.

Shen Jinshan and Shen Yushan each carried two loads of firewood, one large and one small.

Shen Yulin carried the basket filled with dandelions and eggs on his back.

Chen Xinli carried the basket of honeysuckle and went down the mountain with her brothers.

Shen Jinshan had insisted on taking the backpack containing the honeysuckle.

But Chen Xinli felt distressed when she saw her thin elder brother carrying such a heavy load of firewood, so she picked up the backpack and started jogging.

Shen Jinshan was so frightened that he kept shouting behind him:

"Slow down, slow down, Ali, don't fall."

The children took a detour from the side of the mountain and went to their uncle's house first. As soon as they entered the house, Shen Yulin shouted:

"Auntie, auntie, we have gained something good today."

This attracted the neighbor next door, Lu Dahua, to keep looking into the Shen family's house.

Yesterday, a big thing happened at the Shen family next door. The girl from this family went up the mountain to pick fruits and hit her head. I heard that she was dead, but unexpectedly she woke up.

"Mom, my younger sister and my second and third brothers have picked some dandelions, so we can have something to eat at noon."

"What, dandelion?"

"Are you still having diarrhea?"

Wu Yuehua was just about to scold her eldest son.

Then he saw him lift the dandelions on the basket, revealing the huge eggs inside, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Mom, we only eat the tender leaves in the center. They won't give you diarrhea."

Lv Dahua, who was outside the door, pricked up her ears and heard that this family was actually eating dandelions. She said to her husband:

"I thought it was something good. A little bit of dandelion could be considered a treasure."

Zhao Dashu glared at his wife:

"What other people eat is none of your business. You're just a nobody. Go and cook. Do you want to starve me to death?"

Lu Dahua cursed at her husband and went to the kitchen in a huff.
