"Have you ever been up the mountain behind us?"
Xia Manni thought that since there was no food to eat, she could only go up the mountain to have a look.
"I've been there. Erwa and I have been there, as have all the adults and children in the village. But now the weather is getting a bit colder, and it's almost late autumn, so fewer and fewer people are going up the mountain."
There were mountains where Xia Manni lived with her grandparents. She knew that people usually went up the mountain in summer, early autumn, and more often in spring.
In late autumn, only things that others have wasted are left.
Everything in the mountains is a treasure, including wild fruits and vegetables and even some food that can be used as food. Autumn is the best gift that nature gives to mankind.
Although it is late autumn, it is still better than winter. As long as she works hard, she believes she will always find food.
This is what is meant by "live off the mountain".
This is her only confidence. She plans to take her children to "live off the mountain" for the remaining half month.
"Then let's rest early today, and then get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain together as a family."
When Xia Manni said this, she realized that there were three other children sitting in a row behind the eldest child. They were all very excited when they heard about going up the mountain. It seemed that they hadn't been up the mountain for a long time.
Thinking of that heartless sister-in-law and the conscienceless and opinionless mother-in-law, I don't think they will really consider this family.
"But aren't my third brother and fourth sister a little too young? They have never been to the mountain before." Big Brother said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can carry it well. If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to send it back." Xia Manni has never seen a child, and she is the only child in her grandparents' house.
But she has always been a doer, willing to try anything, especially with her children, as children from poor families are more capable and better able to adapt quickly.
She also remembered that in their previous village, there was a one-year-old child who was carried on his parents' back and was heartbroken.
But then again, if the family is wealthy and has someone who can look after the child, why would they need to carry such a small baby up the mountain?
It's not just for survival.
Why does she feel that the eldest son is more like the mother of this family, or the eldest brother of the father type?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, "Okay, if you want to go up the mountain tomorrow, go to bed quickly. Whoever wakes up late tomorrow will not be taken with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four of them rushed to bed.
There are two sleeping rooms in this yard, and the children ran to one of them very sensibly.
But he left the largest room to Xia Manni.
"Si Ni'er, come and sleep with your mother. We girls don't sleep with boys." Xia Manni called Si Ni'er away.
Let the eldest child take care of the third child.
Xia Manni discovered that although Si Ni'er didn't talk much, she understood everything she needed to know. She was also very well-behaved when sleeping with her.
He didn't even need to be coaxed to sleep, but fell asleep on his own.
Everything inside and outside finally quieted down, and Xia Manni felt a little tired.
There are really a lot of things to do tomorrow. At least she has to find tomorrow's meal. If tomorrow's meal is not taken care of, how can she still be someone's mother?
The main thing is to go up the mountain and have a look, hoping to have a good harvest.
She has never had the habit of staying in one's own bed, because she lived with others many times when she was young.
So it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
The next day, early morning.
There was a chirping sound in the yard, and also the sound of giggling.
Xia Manni was actually awake, but she was only conscious without opening her eyes. She was waiting for her phone alarm to ring so that she could sleep a little longer.
What did she do yesterday that made her so tired?
Yesterday... Yesterday...
Xia Manni sat up suddenly and opened her eyes immediately.
What came into view was the room that she had not had time to see clearly last night. How could she have forgotten about this?
She traveled through time.
She looked at the seat next to her and saw that Sini, who was only two years old, had stood up.
Could the giggling sounds outside just now be the four children she just had?
When she found the yard, she discovered that the four children were already dressed.
She also took advantage of the early morning sunlight to carefully look at the children and the small yard. She would stay with them until old age.
Of course, when I have the ability, I will change the small courtyard.
"Mom, you got up late, you..." Erwa's voice interrupted Xia Manni who was washing her face.
This kid is really talking about things that are not related to the topic. What's wrong with her getting up late?
Her biological clock as a worker after starting work cannot be adjusted easily.
But before Erwa could finish his words, he was slapped by Dawa, and Erwa really shut his mouth.
"Okay, Mom got up late, so you'll punish her by making her wash the dishes today." After she finished cleaning up, she walked in front of the children.
She put Sini'er in the backpack, and then asked the eldest child to carry the third child in the backpack.
Fortunately, the third child is not very fat, otherwise she would be worried that the eldest child would be exhausted and she would feel guilty if he didn't grow taller.
"Big boy, second boy, today the three of us are going to compete to see who can find the most things. The one who finds the most can eat more."
"Mom, what's the meal?" Erwa came over and asked with a smile when he heard that there was food to eat.
"Haha, Erwa, you're such a glutton. Of course, we'll eat whatever we find today."
"Big Boy, lead the way." Xia Manni carried Sinier on her back and gave orders to Big Boy.
