Chapter 23
"Yes. You see, my eldest brother and I can buy money for leeches. This may work, anyway, it's not heavy." Lan Jia said guiltily. In fact, she couldn't remember whether she could buy money.

When Lan Tao heard that he could buy money, he plucked up the courage to take the initiative and asked himself to pick it up. Lan Tao picked up the snake skin with a branch and wanted to put it in a cloth bag.

"Brother, be careful, don't break the snake's skin." Lan Jia said hurriedly.

Lan Tao carefully put the snakeskin into the cloth bag.

After walking for a while, Lan Tao jumped up and said happily, "Erya—come and see! There are so many wild vegetables."

Lan Jia happily ran to Lan Tao's side, and saw a large piece of green wild vegetables, including bitter herbs, which can clear away heat and detoxify.Shepherd's purse is the most delicious one. It tastes very good and can relieve blood heat. Artemisia tuberculosis can remove phlegm and beautify the skin. I don't know other wild vegetables.

Lancao, Lantao, and Lanjia put down the slings and started digging wild vegetables. When Lanjia saw Lan Tao put wild vegetables in a mess, Lan Jia hurriedly warned: "Brother, be careful, try not to dig up wild vegetables. Look at how well elder sister puts wild vegetables. "

"Understood." Lan Tao said depressingly.

A few people worked hard there, and after an hour, their waists were tired: "Sister, brother, let's take a break." The faces of the brothers and sisters were all red from the sun, and their faces were covered with sweat, and they sat on the ground exhausted. , Leaning against the big tree, I can finally breathe out, my whole body and mind are relaxed and comfortable.I don't want to talk, I just want to sit there quietly.

Lan Tao climbed the tree to dig out the bird's nest to see if there were any eggs, and ran to pick the fruit all at once, his whole body seemed to have endless energy, and his energy was extremely strong.

After about 10 minutes of rest, Lan Cao, Lan Tao, and Lan Jia dug wild vegetables together for a while, and filled everything up.

Lancao and Lan Tao packed wild vegetables on their backs, Lan Tao still held a cloth bag in his hand, and Lan Jia carried a basket full of wild vegetables. The brothers and sisters returned with a full load, and the sun was shining from above. It was about twelve o'clock at noon. The temperature is the highest of the day, and the dry mouth is very uncomfortable. In addition, digging wild vegetables up the mountain basically consumes all the energy, and slowly and carefully walks down the mountain. It really echoes an old saying, go up the mountain It's easy to go down the mountain, but halfway through the road, the brothers and sisters are exhausted and panting.

Lancao took a look: "Erya, Lan Tao find a place to rest and rest."

"Okay!" Lan Jia immediately put down the basket and fanned it with her hands, why is the work so tiring!

"Yes." Lan Tao wanted to put it down directly, but he was afraid of putting it down, so he found a place to put it down gently. Seeing that Lan Jia was tired and hot, he must be hungry, and he was afraid that Lan Jia would be exhausted, so he hurriedly said: "Erya hand over the basket to Big Brother."

"If you have nothing to do, rest for a while, and you will have strength. Big sister and big brother have worked hard after memorizing so much." Lan Jia made exaggerated gestures with her hands.

Lan Jia saw how much her elder brother carried on his back, and wanted to share it for herself. Lan Jia was very moved by his meticulous care.

Lan Jia went to elder brother's side and stood next to Lan Tao, feeling so happy!
Lancao carried a lot of weight on her back, and she couldn't breathe. A word from her, the unconditional support of her elder sister and elder brother, pampered herself so much that her heart was as sweet as eating honey. She looked at her elder sister and elder brother with a smile on her face It's good that I'm your family.

After resting for a while, I continued to walk home. It may be because of the rest. I feel less tired than before. Everyone walked faster than before. It may be because I am going home, I feel happy and relaxed!Lancao, Lanjia, and Lantao had a particularly rich harvest today, and they were extremely happy.

Walking to the door of the house, Lan Tao hurriedly opened the door, gently put down the back sash, ran over to take Lan Jia's basket, carried it into the house, watched Lan Cao put down the back sash, and found a place to sit down and rest. Lan Jia took Lan Tao and walked over to sit next to Lancao. Although I was very tired today, the brothers and sisters, united and loving to do one thing together, happiness cannot be expressed in words.

Lan Cao scratched the wet hair sticking to Lan Jia's face with her hands: "Aren't you tired today, I think it will heat you up."

"That's right! Erya dug a lot of wild vegetables today, and her hands are red." Lan Tao took Lan Jia's hand and saw it, and hurriedly bragged to Lan Jia to relieve the pain.

Lan Jia hurriedly said: "Big Brother and Big Sister are the hardest ones today. You carried more wild vegetables than me, and dug more wild vegetables than me. Seeing that Big Brother was obviously afraid of insects, but in order to protect me and Big Sister, I still picked up branches. I chased away the snakes in front, and when I picked up the snake skin, I picked it up bravely and put it gently in the cloth bag."

Lan Jia took Lancao and Lan Tao's hands: "Eldest sister, elder brother, let's not comfort each other. Thinking about how much money we can buy tomorrow, this hard work is worth it, isn't it, us! Brothers and sisters, please be happy. "

"Yes! But elder sister, younger brother, I am very hungry." Lan Tao's stomach gurgled.

Lan Jia and Lan Cao laughed when they heard Lan Tao smiling.

"I'll tell you when I'm hungry, I'm an honest child." Lan Tao said shyly.

Then Lancao and Lanjia's bellies rang.

"Look! Look! If you don't tell me, you're actually hungry." Lan Tao in turn laughed at Lan Jia and Lancao.

"We're being reserved. Do you understand or not? It's all in silence." Lan Jia said happily.

"I'll cook, Lan Tao and Lan Jia will be ready soon after sitting down."

"Sister, I'll light the fire." Lan Tao said hastily.

"No, I'm just cooking today, it's already late, so I won't cook, just grab some pickled vegetables for dinner."

Lancao scooped up water to wash his hands, and then went to the kitchen to cook.

"Erya, I just picked some wild fruits, washed them and ate them." Seeing Lan Tao take out some wild fruits from his bosom, wash them with water, and let Lan Jia choose the ones he likes first, Lan Jia saw that There was a red plum that was so beautiful, so I held this plum in my hand, reluctant to eat it, and looked at it over and over again.Lan Tao brought in wild fruits for Lancao.

Lan Tao came out to sit with Lan Jia. Lan Tao picked up the wild fruit and started to eat it with big mouthfuls. After eating three more, Lan Jia took Lan Tao's hand: "Don't eat any more, immediately It's time to eat." I wanted to say that eating too much is bad for my stomach, but I was afraid that it would be troublesome to explain.

"Lan Tao and Lan Jia have eaten."

"Understood." Lan Tao and Lan Jia ran into the stove, Lan Cao had scooped up the rice and put it on the small table, Lan Tao picked up the bowl and started to eat, grinning his teeth from the heat, and fanning him with his hands.Lancao hurriedly put down the bowl and scooped up a bowl of cold water for Lan Tao. "Drink some cold water and rinse your mouth."

Lan Jia took three bowls from the cupboard, poured some rice into the empty bowls, stirred it a few times with chopsticks, and served it to Lan Tao for a lifetime. "Brother, it won't be hot when you eat like this."
