"Xiao Bai, do you still want to go up the mountain today?"
Mrs. Liu heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw Chen Wanbai fully armed, as if he was about to go up the mountain.
Chen Wanbai turned around and looked at Ms. Liu, a little confused: "Mom, I'm going to see the trap."
"I'm just taking a day off today, it doesn't matter." Liu Shi persuaded.
"What's the point of resting? I wish I could live in the mountains." Chen Wanbai raised his feet and was about to go out.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
Ms. Liu thought she had changed her mind and was about to persuade her to have another day of rest.
But Chen Wanbai turned around and said, "Mom, the bacon under the eaves can be taken out to dry. I built two racks there."
Mrs. Liu followed her fingers Looking in the direction, I saw two sets of triangular bamboo forks standing brightly there, with a long bamboo pole hanging across them.
When did this appear?
Mrs. Liu felt strange and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I went to the bamboo forest to chop it while you were taking a nap yesterday." Chen Wanbai explained.
Mrs. Liu held her forehead. Every time when she was sleeping, Chen Wanbai always did a lot of things without saying a word.
"Xiaobai, it's your birthday today, so I'll take a day's rest at home. If you have anything to do, let mom do it." Ms. Liu spoke again.
"No, it's just a birthday, nothing to worry about." Chen Wanbai waved his hand and left. This time he really left.
For Chen Wanbai, it really doesn’t matter if it’s just his birthday. She lived for more than forty years in her previous life and never celebrated a birthday.
Because no one remembers what day she was born.
In this life...
Chen Wanbai rummaged through the memories in his mind carefully, but there seemed to be none. In the Chen family, the girls can’t even celebrate their birthdays. As for Chen Zhizhi? There is a bowl of noodles.
Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter's back, feeling sad and helpless, but there was nothing she could do.
She walked to the corridor, carefully removed the bacon hanging from the eaves, and hung them one by one on the bamboo poles, letting them dry naturally in the sun.
After doing this, she stood at the door, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, thinking about getting something delicious for her daughter later, but when she thought about her craftsmanship, she couldn't help but worry about what she could make. The food doesn't taste good.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Sister Liu."
Ms. Liu turned around and saw Tian Guihua coming with a basket.
"Osmanthus, you're here so early, there's no work to do at home?"
"Oh, some people in the family would like me to run out every day." Tian Guihua curled her lips , “This way you don’t have to eat food from home.”
“Then if you don't mind it being troublesome, you can come to my place every day. I don't dislike you, I'm very happy, I wish you could live with me. "
Ms. Liu wanted Tian Guihua to live in her home so that the two of them could be companions. But for the sake of Tian Guihua's reputation, she gave up the idea.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
Tian Guihua really became interested, thinking that the Liu family had all set up female households, so why not? , so that her parents and brother would not be unhappy because of her.
However, she did not say it out loud, she just thought about it secretly in her heart.
"Today is not Xiaobai's birthday. Well, she went into the mountains again? "Tian Guihua didn't see Chen Wanbai, so she knew without guessing that she must have gone into the mountains.

"Alas... ..No, that girl can't stop her. She really doesn't stop for a day. On the contrary, it makes me, a mother, look like a daughter. "Ms. Liu let out a long sigh, feeling that she was really an incompetent mother.
"You are so lucky, what a good girl, I am so envious of you. "
Tian Guihua's words came from the bottom of her heart. She really envied Ms. Liu. She used to have a husband who loved her and loved her. Now that her husband is gone, her daughter is so up to date.
Speaking of this, Ms. Liu thought of something and asked, "How did you convince your mother not to let you go see each other? "
Tian Guihua walked into the kitchen, put down the basket, and said slowly: "I asked my mother, if she remarries into a family like Zhang Da, should she continue to divorce or continue to suffer. "
Tian Guihua clearly remembered that after she asked her mother, before her mother could speak, her father slammed the table and said loudly: "Even if my daughter never marries for the rest of her life, , and we must never let her be bullied! I am still alive, and I am still in charge of this family. If anyone has any objections, they will be separated immediately. "
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Han was so frightened that he remained silent. Nowadays, Tian Shugen is still the main earner in the family, and Tian Erniu is the good farmer. But her husband, Tian Daniu, is not good at making money and is not good at farming. The ground level is not good either.
Moreover, he has two sons. Seeing that his eldest son, Tian Shitou, is already thirteen years old, he will have to start planning for a wife in two years. , she really can’t save up.
It’s better to forget about splitting up the family. It’s better to endure it for the time being. The sister-in-law will get married sooner or later, and she can’t really stay at home as an old sister-in-law for the rest of her life. .
Seeing everyone in the family staring at her, how could Mrs. Han not understand that they were waiting for her to express her position?
So she said bravely: "Father, mother. , What are you talking about? Osmanthus fragrans is a biological sister, how could we dislike her. ”
Although this is said, in practice it isAnother story.
But in the end, he restrained himself a lot and only choked out a few words about Tian Osmanthus in a place where no one was around.
Mrs. Liu nodded after hearing this: "Actually, your mother is also worried about you being wronged at home, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious to find you a home."
Tian Guihua He sighed and said nothing more.
"Hey, let me tell you some gossip."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she became interested, "Oh, what gossip is it? Come on, tell me."
p>
When she has nothing to do, Tian Guihua will bring her some fresh gossip from inside and outside the village, and Mrs. Liu always enjoys hearing it. Hearing that there was gossip again, he quickly pricked up his ears.
"Zhu's youngest son is missing."
Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, "Really or not? A child was lost in the village?"
< p> "Really." Tian Guihua nodded, "I'm telling you..."At the same time, after Chen Wanbai went up the mountain, he followed the trap route and checked one by one.
Neither of the first two had prey, which made her feel a little disappointed.
In the cold winter, everything dies, and animals become rare due to the cold. Most of them are hiding, and many animals have even entered hibernation.
After checking all her traps, she harvested a total of two rabbits and a squirrel.
There is a high probability that these came out to look for food and ended up becoming food for others.
Although the number of prey harvested was not large, she still felt extremely satisfied. In this cold winter month, every harvest is particularly precious.
Chen Wanbai sighed softly, looking at the route he had cut with a hatchet in front of him, and decided to deviate from this path and try his luck in an area that he had never set foot on before.
She held the hatchet tightly and chopped horizontally and vertically. The branches on both sides stretched wildly, and the vines were crisscrossed, constantly hindering her progress.
After trudging so hard for half an hour, Chen Wanbai's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw an object on the ground not far away.
She quickly spread her legs and ran towards there.
