When we arrived at Shilazipo, we saw Feng Anchen's tall and slender figure. He was holding a slingshot, squinting his eyes, standing under a willow tree, and gesturing at the western sky.

From his angle, it seemed that there were quite a few sparrows perched on those trees, including the beautiful Su sparrows that were unique to Kaoshantun.

Now that you have come to Kaoshantun, you must experience climbing trees to take bird eggs, going to the river to catch fish, and shooting sparrows with a slingshot.

It's just that I've been working since I first came here.

Moreover, I naturally cannot get used to working suddenly. I am so tired that I can't even get up at night. How can I have time to do these things?

However, the labor intensity has been high these days, but I have adapted to it.

But the taste of this mouth is too bland.

It's not time to slaughter pigs yet, and even pork is not available. If you want to eat pork, you have to go to the county town. It's really too troublesome. So just now he and Feng Anchen secretly discussed to shoot sparrows with a slingshot and roast them in the wild.

Anyway, Kaoshantun is surrounded by mountains, so there are quite a lot of birds.

But you can only do it secretly.

If Mr. Shen San knew about this, he would be beaten.

But it didn't matter that Mr. Shen didn't know that. There were many people in this village who secretly caught sparrows and house sparrows to eat.

But the strange thing is that no one eats swallows.

You know, the swallows in Kaoshan Village like to build their nests under the eaves. In spring, the swallows will fly back from the south and build their nests on the eaves of each household or even on the beams of the house.

Then little swallows will hatch out of it.

The swallows fly around, and their owners don't think of shooting them down and eating them.

Of course Feng Anchen and Li Qing didn't dare to hit Yan Zi.

I don't know what swallow meat tastes like.

But roasted sparrows are really delicious.

Thinking of this, Li Qing felt that his saliva was about to come out, but he still had something to ask Feng Anchen, "What did you say to Shen Mingxi just now?"

Li Qing still has a good impression of Shen Mingxi.

Whether in the wheat field or in the hospital, this little girl has a calmness that is different from her peers.

So he didn't really want Feng Anchen to tease the girl and then just leave and make her sad.

Feng Anchen glared at Li Qing unhappily, "I didn't say anything."

He didn't tell Li Qing what he had just said.

Now thinking back, those words seemed really low class. In the words of my eldest brother, it was beneath my dignity.

"Since you didn't say anything, why did Shen Mingxi leave with a blushing face and so quickly?" Li Qing expressed his confusion.

"…Her face is red because of the hot weather. She walks fast. You see, she walks very fast normally. When she's cutting wheat, she walks so fast that the two of us combined can't catch up with her."

Li Qing thought about it and it seemed to be true.

At this moment, Feng Anchen, who had already taken aim, suddenly let go, and the pebble tied with the rubber band whooshed towards a sparrow in front.

The sparrows fell to the ground.

Li Qing shouted happily, "Hit it, hit it."

Feng Anchen was also very happy. He knew that he was a genius in this area. He raised his eyebrows proudly, but still controlled his emotions. With a stern face, he whispered, "Keep your voice down. If someone hears us and complains to Third Grandpa, we'll be finished."

Li Qing was so scared that he immediately shut up.

Then he ran towards the place where the sparrow landed, and Feng Anchen followed him slowly.

But he still turned around and looked behind him, but Shen Mingxi was no longer there.

Today it was Chen Li's turn to do the housework, but it was obvious that her mother did much more than them.

Because the work from the day before yesterday and yesterday was not done properly.

Chen Li was used to being submissive and didn't take it to heart. Fortunately, Jiawen and Qingshan helped her.

When Shen Mingxi came back, Chen Li had already prepared dinner and cooked pig food in a big pot.

While Shen Qingshan was roasting wheat ears for Goudan and Yaya, Shen Jiawen was chopping pig food to feed the pigs.

The yard was swept clean.

Shen Mingxi took a look at the place where the dirty clothes were soaked. The big basin there was empty. After Shen Mingxi refused to wash the clothes, these people were not as diligent as before.

Shen Mingxi withdrew his gaze indifferently.

Soon, the aroma of roasted wheat ears came from outside the yard.

Sanwazi and Xiaocui from my second uncle's family, and Erwang and Sanwang from my third uncle's family smelled the fragrance and ran over.

Goudan and Yaya were a little nervous.

Shen Qingshan glared at his brother and said, "I told you that these are all for you to eat. No one else can eat a single grain. What are you afraid of? I have my second brother here!"

Goudan blinked and nodded solemnly, "I understand, second brother."

The four children gathered around, staring at the roasting ears of wheat. At this time, the unique aroma of wheat spread in the summer breeze.

It seemed as if countless little hands were teasing their stomachs, making them really greedy.

Shen Qingshan seemed not to notice the four children, and was just slowly roasting the ears of wheat in his hand.

After roasting, he peeled it for his younger brother and sister himself.

Goudan and Yaya had been so greedy that they began to eat voraciously while taking the food from their second brother's hand.

The third child of Shen Hai's family is thirteen years old and in the fourth grade. He is used to being powerful on weekdays. At this moment, he felt something was wrong. Why did they all eat, but he didn't get any yet? He shouted loudly, "Second brother, I want to eat too."

"If you want to eat it, pick it up yourself."

"Haven't we picked them all up? Grandma said that all your things belong to us, so why do you eat them all yourself?"

"Whoever told you to go is the one who should go. I'm telling you, Sanwa, you're not young anymore, don't act like a bully. If you want to snatch food from Goudan and Yaya, watch out for my fists!"

As Shen Qingshan spoke, he clenched his fist and waved it.

The third child took a step back in fright.

Looking at Shen Qingshan who suddenly became a little strange, he still shouted unconvinced, "Goudan and Yaya both have the surname Shen. We are originally a family. Why can't we eat the things you picked up?"

"Sanwazi, you are not a child anymore, and you are a fourth-grade student. You should understand some principles. When you were eating popsicles and candies, why didn't you think about being a family? Think about it carefully. Over the years, have Goudan and Yaya ever eaten the same things as you?"

The third child blinked his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.

It really seemed like he never gave Goudan and Yaya anything to eat.

But it’s not that he didn’t give it to them, it’s their grandparents who said that they don’t deserve to eat it.

As I thought about this, I spoke out loud.

Shen Qingshan stood up in a flash.

Gritting his teeth, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound, but he still endured it and pointed at the third child and the other three children, "You went to school to learn and understand things, but now you are not as good as those of us who have not been to school. I think you have read in vain. Grandpa and grandma said that they don't deserve to eat, but you do. We are all children of the Shen family, are you superior to others?"
