Wang Aihong's father is the team leader, and her family conditions may be slightly better, so she is raised to be a little more naive than her peers.
Even so, she took out two bean buns that had been kept all day from her bag and handed them to Qiu Yuling.
"Eat quickly, my aunt made this, it's delicious, I brought it especially for you."
Qiu Yuling saw her mother curiously leaning over to take a look. Qiu Yuling thought her mother would intervene and not let her eat, but she turned around and went into the kitchen as if she didn't see anything.
Qiu Yuling couldn't refuse, so she had to take one and pushed the other back to her. She had been there for quite some time, and seeing that she couldn't take her eyes off it, she must be hungry.
"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry. Auntie made me a bowl of saxaul with boiling water. I'm full now."
It was just a child's lie. Qiu Yuling stuffed it into Wang Aihong's mouth without giving her any explanation. Wang Aihong grinned and said, "Then I'll eat it. I'll bring you some candy next time. It's wrapped in colorful paper and so sweet."
The two of them sat on the doorstep, eating and talking. At this time, Qiu Dashu came back after delivering the other radishes to the team.
Wang Aihong already knew that this was Qiu Yuling's third brother, and without showing any anger, she called out crisply, "Third Brother Qiu, when I come back next time, please take me to roast sparrows, and I'll bring you some bean buns, too."
"If we don't roast sparrows, there will be no bean buns?" Qiu Dashu saw that his little sister's classmate was silly, so he joked with her.
"Ah? Take it too. There was enough for you to eat today, but Yuling insisted that I eat it. There's still half left. I'll break off the bitten part and give it to your third brother."
As Wang Aihong spoke, she clumsily broke off a piece of steamed bun to share with Qiu Dashu.
Where did this funny guy come from? Qiu Dashu was frightened by his honesty and straightforwardness. He waved his hands and said that he was just teasing her, then ran away after being slapped by Qiu's mother.
Mother Qiu took a bowl and filled it with sand dates and poured it into the bag of her little daughter's classmate. This was the one she brought from Yuling's grandmother's house last time. Although it was dry, it was very fragrant when soaked and steamed with steamed buns.
It gets dark early here, and Qiu's mother didn't dare let the little girl stay any longer, so she called her third son to send her sister's classmates back.
Qiu Yuling had no choice but to continue following despite dragging her tired body. Her energy today was absolutely overflowing, and she felt like she had spent the entire day walking.
When she came back, the moon was already high in the sky. Qiu Yuling didn't even want to eat when she entered the house. She just wanted to soak her feet and take a nap.
Now she finally had her own independent washbasin and foot basin. People at that time looked down on wooden basins, and those who could afford it pursued porcelain basins, but she loved these handicrafts.
I fell asleep within seconds of lying on the bed.
"How long will it take for Dad and Big Brother to come back? Why don't I go see them tomorrow?" Qiu Dashu asked his mother.
Qiu Dashu felt that since he was a grown man, having a cat at home was not a big deal, so he still wanted to contribute to the family in some way.
"Aunt Chang said she will be back in five days." Aunt Chang is the mother of their team leader, so what she said must be correct.
Qiu Dashu still wanted to fight for it, but was ruthlessly suppressed by his mother. It was getting colder and collecting firewood became the top priority.
The next day, Qiu Yuling discovered that the firewood-collecting team had grown a lot larger than yesterday. Yesterday it was the Boy Scouts, and today there were also the Women's Scouts. They all set out in a mighty force after breakfast.
As long as they didn't have to work, they wouldn't eat at regular times or places. Mother Qiu didn't plan to come back at noon. When she left, she packed three dried vegetable steamed buns and carried a clay pot of water. She would dig a hole on the spot, add some firewood, and boil some steamed buns to solve the problem.
It wasn't just Mother Qiu who made this preparation, almost everything was configured this way.
Qiu Yuling ran into an old acquaintance, Li Xiaojuan, who looked thinner than before, with matted hair and a sluggish appearance, looking as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
Her mother also came out, carrying the little one in a backpack.
"Wuhu family, isn't it a crime for you to bring this kid out in such cold weather?"
An aunt who was not happy with the baby Li Xiaojuan's mother carried out couldn't help but say something when she saw that the baby was not only skinny and small but also very thin.
Li Xiaojuan's mother didn't say anything and still had a dull look on her face. Qiu Yuling just felt pity for her, but it was of no use.
There are so many pitiful people in this world. She can't even protect her own little piece of land. She can only turn her head away and not look or think about it.
Because many families have grown up, the children today feel that the burden on their shoulders is lighter, and they play and fight more than the day before.
When we came today, there were a few young boys who also brought slingshots, but unfortunately their accuracy was really average. They could only catch a little sparrow occasionally, but it was still a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
But this little bit of gain undoubtedly made the little ones enthusiastic.
But after a while, the little rascal who couldn't contain himself anymore came to invite the Qiu brothers and sisters to come out, and especially solemnly invited sister Yuling.
Oh no, her current status in the underworld is Sister Ling!
"Come on, Sister Ling, show them your skills." Yesterday's little rascal Niu Wa greeted Qiu Yuling very familiarly.
This made the adults around laugh.
"Niu Wa, you're older than Yu Ling, you're mistaking me for someone else."
"You don't understand, Sister Ling was earned by my sister Yuling!"
The other children also followed suit and expressed their opinions. If they were not as skilled as others for one day, they would call her "Sister Ling" willingly!
No one has ever asked Sister Ling whether she needs it!
Mother Qiu supported Qiu Yuling from behind and said, "Go, play with them."
Don't be fooled by Qiu Yuling's young age, she has a very powerful aura. With a stern face and a group of people following her, you would think she was going to the neighboring team to pick a fight from their aura.
"Old Third's, Yuling looks really strong now. You finally caught this kid."
After watching the huge group of Boy Scouts, the remaining old ladies couldn't help but start chatting.
Qiu Yuling was also aroused by the many eager gazes and felt an inexplicable sense of mission. In addition to catching sparrows, she also caught two magpies. Even so, there were still too many wolves and too little meat to fill the gaps between her teeth.
Continuing to use his ultimate skills, he first exchanged and smuggled out a lot of pheasants and rabbits from the space, and then drew his bow and fired in the chaos...
Cheers rang out one after another. After every little kid tried his luck and was defeated, people realized how amazing Sister Ling's skill was in shooting one shot at a time.
This time everyone was truly convinced. For a moment, five hundred ducks were chattering in Qiu Yuling's ears, calling her "Sister Ling" all the time.
When Qiu Yuling met her third brother's gloating eyes, she passed the blame on without thinking.
The little kids then realized that Sister Ling had learned from the third brother, and Qiu Yuling had passed on the baton smoothly.
Qiu Dashu looked at his good sister helplessly. Perhaps he understood his sister a little bit.
"Third brother, do you think I am doing this right?"
"Get out of the way! Third Brother is teaching me. Go, go, get in line..."
Qiu Yuling said that she would rather die than let her fellow Taoist die!
