Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 2
Hua Xiaoqiao heard Hua Qingshan came back and hurried into the kitchen.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he saw smoke filled the kitchen. Hua Qingshan was seriously killing fish. The fish were only the size of a palm, but there were five or six of them in the basin.

As long as she thinks about being able to eat meat, Hua Xiaoqiao is very happy in her heart: "Brother, why did you catch so many fish today." Because she is so happy, she even speaks in a cheerful voice.

Hua Qingshan was also in a good mood with a smile on his face all the time, probably because he had a good harvest, so he was in a good mood. While cleaning the fish in his hand, he looked at Hua Xiaoqiao and said heartily: "I'm lucky today, and after listening to you If you went upstream for a little bit of fishing, you really caught a lot. At noon, you said that we should cook the fish or steam it."

Hua Qingmu stretched out his hand and licked his lips, he couldn't wait any longer: "My brother can do whatever he wants, as long as I can eat fish, I will be very happy."

Hua Xiaoqiao has her own plan: "Brother, let's steam it and I will get some ginger and green onions. There is no salt at home and only a little soy sauce."

Now the family doesn't have any food at all, and they eat whatever they have. If they don't find food for a day, it means that they will go hungry. She is used to this kind of life.

Hearing that there was no more salt, Hua Qingshan glanced outside and sighed: "Father is drunk and lying on the bed again."

As soon as Hua Yuantao was mentioned, the three of them sighed. They are fathers who can't be scolded or yelled at. They eat when they are hungry and drink when they are thirsty. What can they do? They can only serve them well. Dad, don't worry about it.

Hua Xiaoqiao was so helpless that she didn't know how to express her inner roar. It was the first time in her two lifetimes that she saw such an irresponsible father who didn't care about her children at all. They all went to change the wine and owed others a lot of money.

It can be said that the whole family really has nothing but this broken house.

Frowning, Hua Xiaoqiao said angrily, "It's good that he's drunk and doesn't know anything."

What else can a family growl at such an irresponsible father?I can't find any words to describe my surging heart.

Hua Qingshan is very helpless, the family can't count on Hua Yuantao, the only ones can only rely on the three of them, but the two younger siblings are still very young, so the pressure is really great.

"I'll go to the city tomorrow to see if I can find something to do. If I can find something to do, I plan to earn some money back."

I have to eat and drink at home, and now I can't make ends meet. The days of eating and not having a next meal are really annoying.

Hua Xiaoqiao looked at Hua Qingshan very distressed. Hua Qingshan is only 12 years old this year. He is not very tall and is also very thin. It can be said that none of the three brothers and sisters of the Hua family is really fat. They are very thin, and they are much shorter than their peers.

Although Hua Qingshan is only 12 years old this year, because the burden of the family is on him, the whole person is a little mature, and he looks like a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. Seeing Hua Qingshan like this, she really felt distressed and sighed heavily. Then he said: "Brother, you should not go out. You forgot to find something to do a few days ago. They all saw that you were young and wanted to bully you. You'd better stay at home. Nothing, besides, the snow has melted now, and the bamboo shoots from the mountains have come out. We can definitely get some mountain delicacies to sell, and we can also catch fish in the river to sell. Even if it is cheaper, we will work harder. It’s also better than you working.”

Just a few days ago, Hua Qingshan also went to find something to do, but he was deceived because he was young. He worked hard for two days helping others to do coolies. A 12-year-old child can catch up with an adult. I came back very late, and when I came back, I fell asleep drowsily without even washing my face.

Hua Qingshan himself didn't want to go, but the reality had already weighed him down.

Looking at Hua Xiaoqiao and Hua Qingmu with some confusion in his eyes, he said: "What can I do if I don't work? We can't even afford salt now. You two haven't eaten for a long time. You have always eaten wild vegetables to make do." How can you go on like this when you are all growing up?"

Hua Qingshan, who is usually strong, put the fish in the wooden basin, and buried his head in his legs regardless of face, and his shoulders shrugged after a while.

Hua Xiaoqiao knows that Hua Qingshan is fragile at the moment, just like a lost child who has no idea of ​​her future path. For the first time, Hua Xiaoqiao is eager to make money. In the past, all she thought was to live with it. mentality, but now she wants to make money, thinking that she is also a young woman from modern times who understands agricultural technology, how can she starve to death in this place and live such a poor life.

There was a hint of determination in her eyes that she wanted to make money and let the two people in front of her who cared about her and loved her live a good life.

First, he glanced at Hua Qingmu and said: "Qingmu, go and light the fire."

Hua Qingmu was a little flustered. In his memory, his elder brother Hua Qingshan was a great hero, the strongest and strongest person. It was the first time he saw Hua Qingshan so bewildered. He didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

Hearing Hua Xiaoqiao's arrangement, she hurried to the yard to carry the chopped firewood into the stove as if she was granted an amnesty.

Hua Xiaoqiao squatted beside Hua Qingshan, sighed softly, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, I know that you are very confused now, and you don't know how to take the next road, but no matter what happens to you, brother Remember, I will always stand by your side to support you, and I will always be by your side to take care of you.”

These are the words in her heart, she really can't bear to watch Hua Qingshan suffer like this.

Hua Qingshan wiped his tears on his trousers, raised his head and his eyes were a little red: "But what should we do now?"

Hua Xiaoqiao stood up, clapped her hands and said seriously: "We have hands now, but we are afraid that we have nothing to do, and let me tell you that the bamboo shoots in spring have come out, and there are medicinal materials on the mountain, we can also find medicinal materials to sell. , In addition, there are flowers and plants that can also be dug to the market, and there are more opportunities to make money as long as we can grasp that there will be hungry."

These words gave Hua Qingshan a lot of confidence, he simply cleared up his mood, and Hua Qingshan continued to kill fish with a knife.

He just killed one and then stopped: "Xiao Qiao, you said that you have hands for us. Don't you still worry about not being able to support yourself? Tomorrow, we will do what you said and we will go to the mountains to find things that can be sold for money."

After seeing the strength in Hua Qingshan's eyes, Hua Xiaoqiao finally let go of her worries: "Brother, it's good that you can figure it out. By the way, I'll tell you something funny."

She just talked about the fight with Liu Shi outside just now, and she was dumbfounded when she heard Hua Qingshan and Hua Qingmu.

Hua Qingmu's eyes were filled with admiration: "Sister, you are really amazing."

Mrs. Liu doesn't like him just the same. To be precise, Mrs. Liu dislikes the three siblings the most. When doing things, she will definitely think of the three of them, but if there are any good things, she will never think of them.

Hua Qingshan shook his head helplessly: "You girl knows how to be naughty, now she might hate you, I'll see how you deal with it then."

He knew how Liu's behavior could give up so easily, Hua Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows indifferently: "What can you do to me, she was the one who provoked me first, and every day she tried to find all kinds of excuses to ask me to give up on her. Doing farm work and scolding and beating me, don’t you know that my ears are all red now, brother, check to see if they are swollen.”

Hua Xiaoqiao lifted up her hair to show Hua Qingshan, Hua Qingshan frowned at this sight, stood up regardless of the blood on her hands, stared at Hua Xiaoqiao's ears, and observed carefully: "It's really hard for her to strike. It's too harsh."

Hua Xiaoqiao couldn't see the blood on her own ear pinna, it was obviously scratched.

Hua Qingshan's words were sullen.

Putting down her hair, Hua Xiaoqiao was worried that Hua Qingshan would be impulsive again, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, brother, it's not like she was injured, anyway, she didn't get well for a few days, I'm afraid she's washing her basket right now."

She also happened to walk to the door of her house on a whim today, so she went in and carried the pannier away. How could she know that so many things had happened? Mrs. Liu not only dumped a basket of pigweed, but also threw her own pannier into it. Smelly ditch, this is a joyful thing, she doesn't even know how to describe the joy in her heart.

Just as he was talking, the courtyard door outside was hit on the wall with a "bang" and made a sound.

This voice attracted Hua Xiaoqiao and the three of them, and Hua Xiaoqiao and Hua Qingshan all came out of the kitchen.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that Mrs. Liu was angrily carrying a pannier that was still dripping with mud. Didn't this pan just happened to be thrown into the ditch by Mrs. Liu just to beat her.

Seeing Liu's angry appearance, he knew that he must be looking for trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as such thoughts came up, Liu yelled angrily: "Hua Xiaoqiao, you little hoof, get out of here."

Hua Xiaoqiao folded her hands on her chest and looked at Liu Shi calmly, "I'm just standing here, what do you want me to do?"

This indifferent attitude made Liu Shi even more angry.

"What am I going to do? Look at how dirty you have made my back basket. You clean my back basket today, and then pull a basket of pigweed. I will pretend that nothing happened. If you don't do this, get off. Blame me for being rude to you."

As soon as he heard the word "you're welcome", Hua Qingshan, who had seen blood stains on Hua Xiaoqiao's ears, suddenly became angry, and roared: "You are so cruel that you put Xiaoqiao's ears on the ground!" It’s all bleeding, and now you’re still here to mess around, you’re really used to bullying us, aren’t you?”
