The ten-year-old Huo Jinzhi stumbled, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground. He barely managed to stabilize his body, and there was sour water in his stomach. He was so hungry.
From yesterday morning to now, he has only eaten some wild fruits and water, and the grains of rice have not been exhausted, and he still has to work. Although the village chief has taken care of him and let him do some easy work, for the ten-year-old him , What life in the countryside is easy?
Even mowing the grass was a heavy physical effort for him.
Huo Jinzhi stood up hard. He carried a large bag of grass. He went to the mountain in the morning to mow, and then he was going to feed the cows. The grass in the morning was covered with dew, which made the grass heavier. He weighed a pound and a half, and he only felt that the grass on his back weighed a thousand pounds, his shoulders were burning hot, and every step he took seemed to be wading through mountains and rivers.
Since his father left, no matter how much he suffered, Huo Jinzhi hadn't shed any tears, but his eyes were sore at this time.
He is really hungry.
Also really tired.
Why hasn't Dad come back?
Another gust of sour water came up, Huo Jinzhi stumbled, and finally fell to the ground. The grass was sprinkled all over the ground. He looked at the mess on the ground in frustration. Tears came out like this, and the strong boy covered his face to vent. with his sadness.
There are only ten kilograms of sweet potatoes left at home, and it is spring when the yellow and yellow are not coming. There is still a month before the brigade distributes food. Even if he and his mother eat half a sweet potato a day, ten kilograms of sweet potatoes can’t handle it.
In the past two days, he lied to his mother, saying that he had eaten outside, but he hadn't eaten a single bite of the sweet potatoes at home. He had promised his father that he would take good care of his mother. He was a man, and he had to do it.
But now the mountains are also very thin, even the hares and pheasants refuse to come out, the wild fruits are sour and astringent, and the only edible wild vegetables, such as Malantou, shepherd's purse, and Qingming grass, but there is no oil or meat, these wild vegetables are also It is very bitter, it is better to eat wild fruit.
Huo Jinzhi cried heartily and felt more comfortable. No matter how difficult it was, he had to persevere, and he would definitely walk out of Mopan Mountain.
After feeding the cows, he went to the mountains for a walk. If the hares and pheasants could not be found, he would dig snake holes. Now the snakes are still hibernating, and they are not vicious at all. One snake is enough for him to have a full meal.
Thinking of the deliciousness of snake meat, Huo Jinzhi's mouth was full of saliva, and he regained strength. He wiped his tears and hugged the grass on the ground. A pair of red leather shoes appeared in front of him.
His pupils could not help shrinking, he knew the owner of the leather shoes, the little princess of the Tang family, but it was his little evil star.
Today, he really didn't have the strength to accompany this evil star, but if the evil star is not satisfied, Tang Xiaonan's three stupid bear brothers will definitely settle accounts with him, and the injury from beating him last time is still painful.
"Hey... Calamity Star, what are you doing?" The girl's tender voice was brutal.
It was a four-year-old Tang Xiaonan, wearing a red ski shirt, with two small vases tied with red flowers. The chubby girl looked like a fortune-giving boy in a New Year's picture, but the girl had her hands on her hips and was fierce. She doesn't look cute anymore.
"Mowing the grass."
Huo Jinzhi sighed in his heart and cheered up to deal with the little devil.
He never knew that a four-year-old child would have such a good energy, and he could keep making trouble from morning to night. So many children in the village didn't look for him, but they came to him.
I just hope that today's little devil is in a good mood, let's go after playing for a while, otherwise he will get unlucky again with three stupid bears.
"What's the use of mowing the grass?" Tang Xiaonan innocently looked at the green grass in the basket, but couldn't eat it as a vegetable.
