"Really?"
Li Erya was a little skeptical.
Xihe stood up and pinched the little girl's face: "Why would I lie to you?"
The sunset illuminated the courtyard. There were a few peach trees planted in front of the courtyard. A few shriveled peaches hung on the trees, looking sour and hard to chew.
"It's time to eat."
Mother Li came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and chopsticks.
There was a table in the yard, with a few bowls of porridge, a plate of pickles, and some small green vegetables. The family sat around it and ate together.
After a long journey, I returned home to chop wood and work.
Xihe was so tired that he fell into bed and fell asleep after dinner. It was a rare dreamless night.
"Sister, get up quickly, it's time to go out."
Bang, a slap hit the face.
Xihe: “…”
She twisted the quilt, slapped away Li Xiaodi's hand that was pulling the quilt, and replied casually: "I know, I know, you go out first."
"Then get up quickly, or you won't have anything to eat." Little Brother Li ran out with a puff of his tongue.
"well."
Sighing, Xihe resigned himself to his fate and got up.
After breakfast,
After closing the door and carrying their hoes, the family went to the fields.
They are going to reclaim a small piece of wasteland today, and Mother Li wants to plant some more beans.
The dirt path was trampled into a small path, and the morning dew hit the grass on both sides of the path, soaking your trouser legs when you walked past it.
The land is on a small slope, overgrown with weeds and wild flowers.
Xihe grunted and dug the ground, making a path forward. The younger brother of the Li family followed behind her, pulling the grass path.
Now is not a busy time.
Farmers go to the fields in the early morning and evening, so when the sun rises high in the sky, the family goes home along the path. When they meet villagers who are also returning to the village on the way, Li's parents stop to talk to them.
The children in Xihe were impatient to wait and ran home first.

What is life like in the countryside?
After working diligently in the fields for over a month, Xihe honestly told everyone: I'm tired, very tired, and I feel like an animal every day.
I open my eyes early in the morning and go to work, and I close my eyes and go to sleep.
She is the eldest in the family. Although she is a girl, she is also a labor force and cannot even find an excuse to be lazy.
After all, even a five-year-old kid joined in the weeding.
Xihe: ...Go to school, she must go to school! She wants to leave this small mountain village!
"Xiaohua, Xiaohua?"
The fragile door of the Li family's house was pushed open, and a girl rushed in: "School starts tomorrow, let's go together."
The girl had big pigtails, dark red skin and sparkling eyes.
Xihe couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face. Damn, could her face be as dark, red and translucent now?
"Xiaohua, why aren't you talking? Are you so happy you're stupid?"
The girl named Xiaocao pushed Xihe.
Xihe steadied himself, washed his face with clean water, and said casually, "Going to school tomorrow? Okay, let's go together."
Well, it is indeed worth being happy about.
She could finally work openly without having to work.
The next day, the sky was gray and there were still twinkling stars in the sky. Xihe took two rice balls and went out.
It was around four in the morning, and there were seven or eight junior high school students, both men and women, standing under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
We all have to cross mountains and rivers to go to class together.
"Are you all here? Let's go then."
A group of people walked down the mountain road.
The boys were walking in front, laughing and talking incoherently, while the girls were chattering and gathered around Xihe to listen to her talk about things in the city. Although Xihe had told the story many times, they still never got tired of it.
Xihe had no choice but to patiently explain: "Yes, the building is very tall, and there is ice cream. You said the elevator..."
