Tian Bao was restless and restless. She was thinking about too many things in her little head. She was always struggling. Did someone catch her when she fell off the low wall in her dream? Will there be seeds on the head?
As for the low wall in her house, it is not that she is dead, but she is afraid of being half dead, especially in the backward ancient times, which is equivalent to announcing death.
In a daze, Tianbao fell into a deep sleep. This time she slept peacefully.
Until the sunset, the sky was covered with sunset glow, and the dazzling warm colors dissipated a lot of heat. Mrs. Gu, who had been out for a day, also returned home at this time.
Mrs. Gu opened the door, glanced at Tianbao who was sleeping, covered her belly, picked up the cattail leaf fan placed aside, and fanned Gu Xiaoliu and Tianbao.
When the eldest daughter-in-law knew that her mother-in-law came home, she guessed that she would definitely go to her sister-in-law's room.
So when she looked for her, she found her mother-in-law here.
"Mom, do you want to cook today?" The side dishes have been put away, and it's time for Mrs. Gu to start cooking.
"Let's go." Mrs. Gu put away the cattail leaf fan and rolled up her sleeves as she walked.
The eldest daughter-in-law followed behind, closed the door, and told Mrs. Gu what happened today as she walked. Mrs. Gu was surprised when she heard this.
She didn't know that Sister Yan had such cooking skills!
"Quick! Go and have a look."
Mrs. Gu walked away. Tianbao, who was lying on the bed, woke up and rubbed his eyes before he became more awake.
Gu Xiaoliu, who was sleeping next to her, noticed that her little aunt was getting up, and immediately started rubbing her eyes, looking dazed, as if she didn't remember where she was.
Until his eyes turned to Tianbao, the memory slowly came back. With two red clouds on his face, he said shyly: "Little aunt."
Tianbao reached out and touched Gu Xiaoliu's head. When I rubbed it with my hands, it became even messier.
"Get up quickly, it's time to have dinner later." He glanced at the sky outside the house through the window, it was vaguely dark.
Gu Xiaoliu nodded, picked up his coat and put it on, but he didn't put it on for a long time, and he couldn't help but blush.
Tianbao over there was already dressed. She came over to help Gu Xiaoliu get dressed. He was obviously a six-year-old child, but he was a little taller than her three-year-old self.
The two little kids packed up and left the room. They wanted to help in the kitchen, but they were kicked out by Mrs. Gu. The two of them sat on the stools helplessly, holding their chins in their hands and looking towards the door.
Jingjing was lost in thought, but she heard the sound of rapid footsteps. From the sound, it seemed that a lot of people were coming.
Tianbao suddenly stood up and ran towards the door. The leader was a man with a sinister face and a fierce look on his face. When he saw a child coming out, his eyes flashed and he stepped a few steps faster.
Tianbao frowned and quickly pulled Gu Xiaoliu, who was about to run ahead, behind him. Before they could turn around and run, the man with a sinister look on his face walked up to them.
The man carefully looked at the two little girls in front of him, and he couldn't tell which one was the little girl who had made a fuss on the mountain a few days ago.
Two girls, one obedient and the other bold, looked at him calmly, it was clear that they were bold enough to go to the mountain.
Tianbao looked at the man who kept sizing her up. She didn't speak, but her expression was a little cold, and her little face became serious.
"Hey, little girl, you were the one who went up the mountain a few days ago, right?"
"Who are you?"
Tianbao wanted to ask sharply, but his voice was too naughty, and it sounded like scratching an itch, and he didn't feel serious at all. When the man heard this, his face was stunned, as if he didn't expect the girl to suddenly ask, and a touch of red appeared on his originally dark skin, looking quite ashamed.
Tianbao looked a little speechless.
The contrast between shyness and cuteness is inexplicably pleasing to the eye!
The man scratched his head, turned around and asked his companions in a low voice: "Did I just say something wrong?"
The companions nodded collectively, which made the man very worried.
"Then what should I say?" He is not good at words, let alone talking to such a small baby. Ordinary children will cry when they see him.
The companions thought for a while, then glanced sideways at the little sweet baby who had been watching their movements, and then said: "How about this, second brother, just answer whatever they ask you!" Don't worry about other people's children. Scared to tears.
The man nodded.
"I am from Daliu Village next door. My surname is Liu Dan and my first name is Xi. I came here this time to ask, how did you go up the mountain that day?"
That day in Daliu Village, a three-year-old baby was taken up the mountain. I was shocked, especially when the opponent walked out with his head and tail intact, without any injuries on his body. This alone was enough to make hunters like them envious.
You must know that this mountain has no owner yet, and no one has mined it in recent years. There are abundant wild animals in the mountain. If they can find a way, then if they save money this year, they will not only have a good year during the Chinese New Year, but they may also be able to Get a wife.
Liu Xi was thinking wonderfully, as if the image of her daughter-in-law appeared in front of her eyes.
When Tianbao heard this, she knew that the mountain could not be hidden. There were a lot of wild animals and medicinal materials in it. If they were mined on a large scale, everyone could live a good life. But she wanted to buy this mountain, and she was afraid that It cannot be mined casually.
What if someone else discovers the rough stone?
Judging from the fact that her family currently has no power, it shouldn't be manipulated by others?
"I went up the mountain that day, but I hung around at the foot of the mountain and didn't dare to go in. There were a lot of scary bugs inside."
Tianbao described it as he said it, as if he saw that scary thing again.
When Liu Xi and others heard this, they were a little disappointed, but they also knew that this little girl was telling the truth.
A few days ago, his eldest brother went to the mountains to try his luck. Halfway there, he was attacked by a wild wolf that suddenly appeared. Fortunately, his eldest brother was very good at martial arts. Although he failed to subdue the wild wolf and was slightly injured himself, he came back alive. .
If he hadn't been living in poverty and couldn't even pay for medicine, he would definitely not come to ask a child.
Liu Xi was disappointed, but she didn't know how to trouble her children any more, so she immediately thanked him and left with a large group of children.
Seeing the pain on the man's face, Tianbao must have something to hide. He looked at the group of people carefully and found that they were all good at work, so he immediately stopped him.
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Xi stopped when she heard the voice and turned to look at the baby.
"My family is recruiting long-term workers recently. If you are willing, you can come to my house. The wages are higher than others."
After saying this, she saw the tangle on the faces of these people and instantly understood that the long-term workers of this era are different from the migrant workers of later generations.
"But if you want to sign a contract, you can choose one-year, three-year or five-year contract. If you think you have done well, you can renew the contract. If you want more room for development, you can end the contract just by making a request."
"Yes. Food and accommodation are provided, but you must be diligent. If you are willing, come to my house tomorrow."
