In the early morning in the mountain village, it was foggy and the dew was heavy, and the voices of several children came from the mountains.
"Shui Shui, is your brother's illness getting better?"
The little girl who was slicing the dead leaves and picking up the mushroom said, "I don't know, Dad hasn't called back yet."
"Are you going to study in the town after that?" another little girl asked.
Lin Miao said, "I told my mother, don't go, it will cost a lot of money to study in the town, I want to study in the village with you, and I don't have to travel that far."
"Okay! We will be in the same class from now on!"
The little girls were happier.
When they finished picking up the bacteria, when Lin Miao and a few friends came back from the mountain, their trouser legs were a lot wet, and they carried a large stack of dry wood on their back. The dry wood was placed across the small back basket. The vines are tied and fixed on a small back basket. The small back basket is full of mushrooms. The black ones are called fire mushrooms, the white ones are called lime mushrooms, and the yellow ones are called pine mushrooms. It is especially suitable for adding a handful of peppers and mixing them. dinner.
Lin Miao came out without breakfast, so now she is very hungry, and her mind is full of the fried chili mushrooms that she had eaten before. At that time, she mixed with rice and shaved a bite, and her mouth was spicy and pine mushrooms again. The aroma, and the taste of the rice...
As for the remaining two kinds of bacteria, their family doesn't like to eat them, so go back to cook them, go to the market tomorrow, and they can sell them at the market. It's 51 jin. These bacteria are not light in nature. After being boiled, they are very heavy and can be sold for a lot of money.
There is not much rain this year, but the sun is good. There are many bacteria in the mountains. Under the dead leaves, there are piles and piles. Lin Miao picked up a basket yesterday. busy growing bacteria.
Lin Miao's heart was also full of energy.
"Shui Shui!" From a distance, Lin Miao's mother was calling her.
"Come on, come on!" Lin Miao said goodbye to her friends and ran towards her mother with dry wood on her back.
"Slow down!" Mom said, taking down her little backpack and setting it aside.
It was only at this time that Lin Miao noticed that there seemed to be strangers in her yard.
Her mother tidied her hair. "After a while, after you go in, you can answer whatever you want, you know?"
Her sweat-soaked hair was stuck to her forehead. After tidying it up, her little face still looked a little funny. Lin Miao didn't care about this, but was a little surprised by what her mother said. What did she ask? who asked
Then she was taken in by her mother.
"This is my daughter, Lin Miao, on February 29th." Lin Miao's mother was a little nervous and said, "I am eight years old this year, and I am in good health. I have never been sick. Shui Shui, say hello to the master."
Lin Miao said hello obediently, "Hello, Master."
She couldn't take her eyes off the man in the yellow Taoist robe and a square yellow hat. It was the first time she had seen such a person.
Then, she heard the other party speak, her voice a little sharp, "It's her, pack up and come with me."
Lin Miao didn't quite understand what they were talking about, so she only looked back at her mother, "Mom, where are you going?"
Lin Miao's mother squatted down, with tears in her eyes, "Shui Shui, mother is sorry for you."
Lin Miao was a little flustered and wiped her tears, "What's wrong?"
"Mom found you a job," Lin Miao's mother said, "Shui Shui, my mother really can't think of any other way. If your brother dies, he will be gone, and the family is rich and won't starve you. …”
Lin Miao blinked her eyes and didn't panic. "If I go to work, do I get paid? If I get paid, I can treat the disease. Don't worry, mom."
The village chief next to him took a stack of money to Lin Miao's mother, "Don't cry, it's not a bad thing. Many people in the village want to send their children there."
Lin Miao's mother took the money, and with tears in her eyes, she said to the village chief and the master, "I can say a few words to my daughter, okay?"
The two nodded and walked out.
Lin Miao hates reading. Not only does she not earn money, but she also spends money. The other girls in the village study for a few years in the village and then go to work. She is forced by her mother to walk the mountain road every day and go to the town to study. , she sat in the last row, surrounded by boys. At the beginning, they always pulled her braids and didn't let her go out. Later, when she cut her hair, they laughed at her, so she didn't want to read at all. .
Lin Miao's mother was in the back room and stuffed a few pieces of money into her pocket, "Keep this, don't use it indiscriminately, my mother is sorry for you."
Lin Miao wiped her tears, "Mom, don't cry, I can make money when I go to work."
"Shui Shui, listen to your mother." Lin Miao's mother wiped her tears and said seriously, "After you go to their house, you must not cause trouble. If someone wants to beat you, don't be stubborn and ask for mercy, you know. ?"
Lin Miao didn't understand, but her mother was crying, she nodded quickly.
"You have to be obedient. During the Chinese New Year, your mother will come to pick you up. Take you home." Mother squatted on the ground, hugged her and cried.
At this time, the master came knocking on the door, "Didn't I say, I won't endure hardship, it's much better than living here, well, we have to go."
Lin Miao's mother packed her schoolbag again, squatted down and put it on Lin Miao's back, "You must find time to read, girls need to read, you know?"
Lin Miao was also infected with the atmosphere of parting. Although she didn't want to read a book, she still nodded.
Then he was held by the master and walked out.
When walking through other houses, a little friend held a bowl, stuck his head out, and watched her walk with a stranger in surprise, so he asked her, "Shui Shui, where are you going?"
Lin Miao imitated the way the adults in the village were going to go out to work. He put his hands on the straps of his schoolbags, and said seriously, "Children, you have to study hard. I'm going to work. I'll be back in the new year. Time to bring you candy."
The adults in the village are all going to work outside. During the Chinese New Year, they all come back and buy candy for the children in the village.
So everyone likes the Chinese New Year very much. Not only do they have new clothes to wear, but they also have delicious food at home. They also have all kinds of candies when they go to other people's houses. They especially like to compare which candy is better.
Therefore, Lin Miao added, "I'll bring you the best kind of candy then."
A few friends looked at her with admiration.
