In the end, there were only two palm-sized fish in the basket. "Maybe too many big fish disappeared, which made the fish alert. These two little ones don't listen to the adults."
Qiu Yuling asked her brother whether he would take the two little fish that had fallen into the hands of human traffickers with him.
"Put them back. They're so small they can't do much harm. Come back in a few days. They should be bigger by then, and maybe they'll be in our hands."
It was midday, and the sun was scorching. The two of them had eaten salty food at noon, and their mouths were dry from walking.
"Can't walk anymore? Come on up, Third Brother will carry you." Qiu Dashu put the basket with fish into the big backpack, slung it in front of him, squatted down and motioned Qiu Yuling to get on his back.
How could Qiu Yuling agree to this? Normally, she was just being a little spoiled and harmless, which allowed her to maintain her childish persona and feel a little more comfortable. But now that it was exposed to the sun like this, and Qiu Dashu was still a little boy, how could she bear it?
If he really carries it back like this, he will get heatstroke!
Neither of them wanted to waste any time, so they wiped the sweat off their face and quickened their pace.
When they got home, everyone had gone to work. The brother and sister drank a whole teapot of water together before they finally calmed down.
There was rice left on the table in the teahouse, covered with a gauze rack. When Qiu Yuling saw it, her old habit of being picky about food came back. It turned out that she couldn't expect her mother to be generous and attentive to the food.
Two bowls of sorghum rice and a small pot of garlic-mashed eggplant. Qiu Yuling said that she had no appetite due to the hot weather. Qiu Dashu smiled and helped to finish everything.
Time is like a whipped mule, clattering and unable to stop, and in the blink of an eye it is the day to start school.
Qiu Yuling packed up her tuition and fees and went to register with her third brother, but someone was carrying the burden.
Because of the heat, Qiu Yuling hid in her space cabin and ate two ice creams in a row. Feeling quite appetizing, she made a serving of crayfish, which then gave her a stomach upset...
Originally, they wanted to go tomorrow, but Qiu Dashu insisted on carrying her there, and said that if she felt uncomfortable, she could get some medicine at the town clinic.
"Hey, Yuling, why are you still being carried by someone? Look, I've been independent for a long time." Wang Aihong saw Qiu Yuling and Qiu San Ge from a distance, and she ran over to catch up with them. She originally planned to kiss her good friends who she had lost contact with for a whole summer.
Unexpectedly, she spoke in a strange tone. The sister-in-law who was following behind her pulled the corners of her mouth, intending to spoil the fun. Her sister-in-law asked her father-in-law to carry her on his back yesterday, but now her brother is not in front of her, otherwise she would definitely not take her away for another step.
Qiu Yuling raised her head and waved to Wang Aihong, "Third brother, I'm not feeling bad anymore. Please put me down. I'll go with my classmates."
She had just secretly taken some medicine and was feeling much better now. Qiu Dashu looked around and saw that she was feeling better than when she went out, so he let her down and walked by herself.
"Yuling, what did you do during your summer vacation? I went to look for you twice, but you were not at home. I was almost bored..."
Wang Aihong's sister-in-law: Still not interesting? It seems that there are not enough homework assignments. I said Xiaohong's ability is not limited to this. As long as she is tough, there is room for improvement. She will have to increase the intensity later.
"I accompanied my grandma to my fourth aunt's house. You might have come at that time." I used to be annoyed by her chatterbox, but after not seeing her for a while, the little girl looked much fairer and tenderer, and even looked much more amiable.
"Oh, I envy you so much. You've even traveled so far. I'm so unlucky. I haven't even left the courtyard. Let me tell you..."
Qiu Yuling glanced at Wang Aihong's sister-in-law and smiled, as if her sister-in-law was not complaining about her. This unlucky child, such a beautiful girl, but she had a mouth.
Qiu Yuling didn't know if Wang Aihong's sister-in-law was easy to get along with, but before she could say anything more likely to get her extra homework, she changed the subject, "Is your rabbit still alive?"
It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, Wang Aihong felt even more aggrieved. "Dead, ah~~~ Both of them are dead. My Dabai and Erbai are both dead."
His sister-in-law thought of something funny and tried hard to suppress the smile on her face. She had cried at the graves of the two rabbits at least three times.
If the aunt in the team hadn't discovered that Wang Aihong was kneeling to someone else's ancestors and specifically told her parents-in-law, they wouldn't have known that her sister-in-law had built a rabbit grave on the second floor of someone else's ancestors' grave...
The mother-in-law chased her for three blocks with a fire poker in her hand. For the first time, the father-in-law hid away with his hands behind his back, pretending not to see it.
"Yuling, can you give me two more little white rabbits?" Wang Aihong couldn't control her tears when she mentioned the sad things. She wiped her nose and sobbed and asked for more support.
Qiu Yuling agreed, it was no big deal, "You can pick it yourself when the time comes, and take whichever one you like."
"Ahhh, Yuling, you are so nice to me. Let's go out for popsicles at noon. I'll buy you some, and then I'll go home with you in the afternoon." Wang Aihong instantly planned the next steps.
"Ahem!" Wang Aihong's sister-in-law cleared her throat. Hadn't they agreed to separate at school, that she would go to register and she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and that he would take her to a state-owned restaurant for lunch? How come she had forgotten everything about it in just a short while?
"Oh, by the way, I have to go to the state-owned restaurant with my sister-in-law at noon. She said she would take me to eat braised pork to fill my butt." She was learning to cook and forgot to turn off the fire. The torch fell out of the stove and almost set the tea stall on fire.
Her mother beat her buttocks with the soles of her shoes, and her buttocks were swollen. It was her sister-in-law who felt sorry for her and promised to repair her buttocks.
Qiu Dashu laughed out loud when he heard this. This girl is still so fierce.
Qiu Yuling was no less miserable. If it weren't for her sister-in-law explaining the situation, what she heard would have been the real story. She worked hard to cook for her family, but the result was not satisfactory, so her mother beat her to death with the sole of her shoe.
It’s not unfair that he got beaten.
"Why do you say that too!" Wang Aihong pouted in grievance. Her friends didn't stand with her. She just saw Dahua holding a furry ball and thought it was digging up the graves of her Dabai and Erbai, so she chased it out to see what was going on.
Who would have thought that when she came back, half of the stove was on fire. She was scared to death and was beaten. Her buttocks could not even touch the kang. She has been sleeping on her stomach these days. Whenever her mother sees her, her nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes.
Fortunately, she has a good sister-in-law. Although she likes to force her to study at ordinary times, she is the one who comes forward to protect her at critical moments. She is more reliable than her father.
Because of this, she has rarely talked back to her sister-in-law recently. If she continues to talk back, no one at home will be able to protect her. Woohoo~ What a miserable life!
"Okay, we're at the school gate. Go in and talk less and memorize more. Yuling, right? Come out with Aihong at noon, and your sister-in-law will take you two to have lunch together." With Wang Aihong's chattering all the way, the journey seemed especially short.
"No, sister-in-law, my brother signed up to come see me at noon and take me to dinner." He didn't feel comfortable following him for a free meal for no reason, so he quickly mentioned Qiu Dashu.
Seeing this, Qiu Dashu immediately told her not to run around and to wait for him at school.
