Chapter 2

Before dawn, Qiao Wei wakes up. As soon as she opens her eyes, she sees two steamed stuffed buns lying on her body. She feels a trace of warmth in her heart.

In the dim light of the morning, Qiao wei walked inside and outside the thatched cottage.

There is an empty yard outside, with water tanks, wells and some rusty tools. The kitchen is next door. The pots and pans are in a mess. There is a leftover noodle soup in the pot. The rice bowl has reached the bottom. There are two stale carrots in the basket.

Qiao Wei cleaned up the kitchen first, heated the water from the well, and disinfected the pots and pans. Then, the rusty kitchen knife was polished and polished. She can make do with anything except the knife.

To treat the operating room seriously, after a while in the kitchen, smoke curled out of the chimney, straight into the morning sky. The village at the foot of the mountain also gradually wafted out cooking smoke. The castle peak was shrouded in distant Dai, and it was not clear whether it was cloud or smoke.

When Qiaowei cooked the porridge and was ready to take it back to the house, the brother and sister woke up and ran to the kitchen one after another.

"Mother!" The little girl swooped into the arms of Qiao Wei. Her body is soft and her hands are warm. She sticks to Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei likes it.

Qiao Wei touched her daughter's head for fear that the porridge in the bowl would scald her. She said to her, "go to the house with my brother first, and my mother's side will be ready soon."

The little boy took his sister out of the kitchen.

Qiaowei put porridge Sheng good, end to the room, there, brother and sister two have already set the small square table.

Oh, that's good.

Qiao Wei couldn't help but feel happy and put the chopsticks on the table. Originally, she wanted to use a spoon for the children, but she didn't find it after a long time: "make do with it first, and my mother will make a spoon for you later..."

Before the words were finished, the brothers and sisters picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

After dinner, Qiao Wei told them that she had hit her head and couldn't remember many things, including their names.

Brother and sister were so good that they immediately reported their names. My brother's name is Qiao Jingyun, and my daughter's name is Qiao Wangshu.

The tiger roars and the wind blows in the valley, while the Dragon lifts and the scenery clouds. [Note 1]

the former Wangshu envoy was a pioneer, and the latter Feilian envoy was a runner. [Note 2]

it should be a scholar who named them.

From xiaojingyunkou, Qiao Wei also knows that this village is called rhinoceros village, which is not far from the town. The three of them originally settled in the town, but they were robbed before they came here. The villagers were kind-hearted and took the three of them to live in the house on the hillside.

This used to be the place where the forest watchers lived. Later, the villagers gradually settled down and planted fields at the foot of the mountain. They seldom went up the mountain, so there was no one to guard the forest. After

had eaten breakfast, Qiao Wei cleaned up the dishes and cleaned the tools in the yard. The shovel, shovel, hook and sickle were polished.

The two children had never seen these things before. They squatted curiously while watching, feeling that their mother had suddenly become very capable.

Qiao Wei cleaned the tools, grinded them, and put them in the kitchen. Then he took out the shovel and shoveled the snow in the yard, dug a pile of mud and poured hot water.

In ancient times, where productivity and science and technology are very backward, cement has not yet been born. Only rammed earth and raw earth are available. Rammed earth after reinforcement is called rammed earth, and raw earth is natural. The rammed earth is dense, solid and has few gaps. It's the best way to build a house. The foundation of the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty is rammed earth. But Qiaowei can't tamp, so she has to go back to the second place and use raw soil. It's still alive to paste the window with earth, at least it's airtight.

How lucky Qiao Wei was that she grew up in an orphanage. If she was a charming young lady, how could she understand these ways of survival? I'm afraid to give her a chance to cross the mountain, and she starved to death.

After tidying up the house, Qiao Wei takes her sickle and shovel to see if she can dig something in the mountain.

Small steamed stuffed buns follow their mother's back, making two happy little tails.

But as soon as they got to the door, they were stopped by a woman wearing a black cotton padded trousers and a Purple Floral jacket. The woman took a stick and did not look at people. She scolded: "little bastard, you stole from me again, didn't you?"

Qiaowei thought it was some kind villager who came up to the mountain to see their orphan and widowed mother. Unexpectedly, they came to quarrel. Qiao Wei's face suddenly cooled down: "who are you spraying feces on?"

The woman didn't want to say, "I'll spray feces on your mouth. What's the matter?" As soon as he finished speaking, he found that he had scolded himself. He blushed and glared at Qiao Wei: "Yo, are you awake? When you fall to death, I don't care. Your son, steal things from all over the world

Qiao Jingyun said: "I didn't steal anything!"

The woman disdained to say: "you didn't steal. Why didn't my pickled chicken disappear? One less a day, I saw it! You stole it

"I didn't!" Qiao Jingyun's eyes were red.

Woman Eye Bead son a stare: "you still don't admit?"

"That's enough. What's the matter with me? Don't hurt my son!" Qiao Wei protects Qiao Jingyun behind him and stares back at the woman's venomous eyes.The woman was shocked by this sudden aura. In her mind, Joe is not so fierce

Qiao Jingyun cried anxiously: "mother, I didn't steal anything, I really didn't..." He's not afraid of being wronged by others, but he's afraid that his mother won't believe him. He's not a bad boy. His mother said that if you starve to death, you can't steal. What he remembers, he always remembers

Qiao Wei patted her son on the shoulder: "I believe you."

The woman returned to her senses and felt that she had just been shocked by an shameless abandoned woman. It was a shame. She raised her stick and said angrily, "don't show me pity! Give me my chicken

Qiao Wei light way: "we didn't take your thing, how to give you?"

The woman spat: "want to break the debt, right? Well, don't let me find it! "

Qiao Wei doesn't give way: "do you want to search? Do I agree? "

"I'm going to search. What can you do to me?" The woman raised the stick, a pair of Qiaowei don't get out of the way, she killed Qiaowei posture.

Where is Qiaowei afraid of her? She reached for her hand and clasped her wrist. With her skillful strength, she made the woman cry and her father called her mother.

The huge noise disturbed aunt Luo nearby, and she rushed over: "Little Joe, are you ok Why? Liu Cuihua

Liu Cuihua, known as Aunt Liu, is a famous shrew in the village.

I thought it was Xiao Qiao who was bullied. It was her. Aunt Luo looked at Qiao Wei in amazement: "Xiao Qiao, what's the matter?"

Qiao Wei could see that Aunt Luo didn't mean any harm to her, so she told her what had just happened all over again: "if she really came to find something, I don't mind helping her find it, but if she finds fault, don't blame me for being impolite."

Look for their opinions, but don't put on a "I think you are a thief" face. It's right that they are helpless, but they can't be bullied.

Aunt Luo: "Cuihua, that's what you're wrong with. What's wrong with the things you lost at the foot of the mountain

Aunt Liu snorted: "I saw it all. He stole it! He's been running to the village in the dark these days. He's not stealing. What is he doing? "

Qiao Wei sneered: "did you see my son steal your chicken, or did you only see him enter the village?"

Aunt Liu choked.

Qiao Jingyun turned her eyes to Aunt Luo, who nodded at him, turned to Aunt Liu and said, "if you really want to know where your chicken has gone, go and ask your man! No one knows except him

It is clear that Lao Liu took the chicken for wine, and did not dare to tell his mother-in-law that he lied that the chicken had been stolen. This muddleheaded Liu Cuihua, unexpectedly depends on other people's orphan widowed mother's head!

Aunt Luo has a husband who works in the county government. Even the head of the village gives her some thin noodles. Aunt Liu doesn't dare to cross with her and walks away.

Qiao Jingyun went to Aunt Luo and called "grandma Luo" shyly. Then he took aunt Luo's hand and said to Qiao Wei, "Mom, I didn't steal anything. I went to the village to find grandma Luo."

It turns out that Aunt Luo gave the steamed bread and drumsticks yesterday. Not only that, during the period when the original owner was in a coma, the brother and sister had been living on Aunt Luo's help.

Qiao Wei, who knows the truth, goes forward without saying a word and bows deeply to Aunt Luo.
