He Qingdong's disgusting face appeared in her mind, and in front of her was Su Baoer's innocent face and eyes full of expectation. Su Xue had no way to answer that she liked it.
But if you don't like it, you can't say it out loud.
"elder sister?"
Su Baoer persevered and tilted his head to look at her. Seeing that Su Xue had no intention of answering, Su Baoer's mouth slowly dropped, "Woooo... Wuwu... My sister doesn't like Uncle He either, right? Wuwuwu...
"
The little girl's tears were as if they came for free.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Su Xue pulled her lips in embarrassment and stretched out her hand to rub her hair, "No, Bao'er, don't cry."
Su Baoer is a persistent little girl. She likes her sister Su Xue and hopes that her sister can like the person she likes.
He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and asked persistently, "Then my sister also likes Uncle He, right?"
This kid...
If she hadn't been her sister, Su Xue would have suspected that she had been bribed by that stinky gangster He Qingdong. Why did she keep asking this topic endlessly?
Seeing that her hesitation was about to make Su Bao'er lose her gold, Su Xue quickly said, "I like it, my sister likes it. Bao'er, don't cry, my sister likes it."
After being recognized, Su Baoer burst into tears and smiled, holding Su Xue's arms with both hands and coquettishly, "My sister is the best, Baoer knew that my sister would also like Uncle He."
The corner of Su Xue's mouth twitched.
Forget it, she comforted herself in her heart, this is just a way to coax a child, just don't take it seriously...
Children's emotions come and go quickly, especially after Su Baoer received Su Xue's approval, the rain soon passed and the sky cleared up with a smile on her face.
The two sisters went to bed together and slept.
Early the next morning, Su Xue got up and cooked porridge, mixed it with wild vegetables and ate breakfast. Su Xue asked Su Xiaohu to watch Su Baoer at home, while she prepared to go up the mountain with Su Xiaolong to dig some thorn vines back.
"you go?"
Su Xiaohu looked at Su Xue with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Do you know the way up the mountain?"
Su Xue chuckled, knowing that she was not compatible with this little brat Su Xiaohu. He felt uncomfortable all over if he didn't talk back to her, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"I don't know the road, isn't there a little dragon? You stay at home and watch Bao'er obediently, and by the way, you plowed the ground in the backyard. Your brother and I will plant vegetables when we come back."
Their family's private land was also occupied by Wan Cuihong and the others. With no place to grow vegetables, they had been relying on eating wild vegetables. It was okay to eat these wild vegetables for a few meals, but they couldn't stand it if they kept eating them.
Su Xue felt that she was not particularly squeamish, but she really couldn't get used to a life of wild vegetables and brown rice every day.
After arranging the task, she went out with Su Xiaolong.
Su Xiaolong carried a backpack on his back with a hatchet in it and walked in front. Su Xue wore a straw hat, long sleeves and trousers, and wore black cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles on her feet.
A pair of gloves.
She covered her face with a clean towel to prevent the sun or rattan from brushing her face.
There was also a hoe resting on his shoulder.
No matter how well she does her job, her outfit really looks like a working person.
When I went out, I was often complained by Su Xiaohu. He didn't do his job well, but he looked like he was imitating...
Su Xue was too lazy to complain about Su Xiaohu, she chose to ignore Su Xiaohu directly, just like ignoring He Qingdong!
The two siblings went out early. Soon after the sun rose, they had passed through the village and arrived at the foot of a relatively gentle hill.
Because of Hongqi Village's relatively superior geographical location, the mountain behind their village is not a stone mountain, but a hill-like mountain.
The height of a mountain is about a few hundred meters, with a gentle slope going up. There has not yet been a lot of logging, and the mountainous land in the village has not been divided among each household, so there is no excessive logging.
The entire mountain is covered with rich vegetation, which looks lush and spectacular from a distance.
Su Xiaolong had no intention of taking Amelia Su deep into the mountains.
The thorn vine they were looking for could be dug up at the edge of the ravine at the foot of the mountain. The thorn vine is a very tenacious thorn, and it can survive by digging up its seedlings or cutting branches and planting them back.
"I'll go over there and chop, you wait for me here."
Su Xiaolong pointed to the ditch not far away and said to Amelia Su.
Su Xue said, "I'll go with you."
"There is no road over there, there may be snakes and insects." Su Xiaolong said again.
Su Xue hesitated for a moment, but still firmed up her mind.
"I'm going."
Before going out today, Su Xue deliberately did some ideological work for herself. That is, if nothing happens, she will always live in the village. She will have to work hard to overcome the nightmare of being afraid of insects when she was a child.
"Oh well."
Su Xiaolong raised his feet and was about to leave, and Su Xue was about to follow. When they were about to step into the wasteland, Su Xiaolong raised his hand to stop her. His expression was a little serious, and Su Xue lowered her voice subconsciously.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a snake."
Su Xiaolong spoke.
Su Xue let out a low cry and immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth. She couldn't help but look around with her eyes to see where the snake was, and at the same time, waves of goosebumps appeared on her body.
"It's right over there." Su Xiaolong's sharp eyes saw a snake crawling under the grass in the weeds they had to pass.
Su Xue also saw the black snake body. She turned pale with fear and subconsciously took a step back. "Then... what should we... do? Wait until it... passes... before we go over?"
When encountering something she is afraid of, Su Xue will show her timidity unconsciously. There is no way, it has only been a few days since she became a sister. Before that, she had always been the sister protected by her eldest brother and her second brother.
So when encountering an emergency, it's understandable that you can't remember that you are the eldest sister for a while.
Fortunately, Wilson Su didn’t care.
On the contrary, he understood Su Xue very well.
"Let's go to the mountains."
It may be that the weather is too hot today, so the snake came to the ditch to cool off. Usually no snakes are found in this mountain, at least that's what the adults in the village said.
Amelia Su blinked, pulled the corner of Su Xiaolong’s clothes, and walked forward cautiously, “Well...does snakes also need to cool down?”
As far as she knew, snakes are cold-blooded animals. She knew that snakes were afraid of cold and hibernated, but she didn't know that snakes were also afraid of heat.
Su Xiaolong glanced at Su Xue and felt that his sister was a bit of a headache. Since the snake was afraid of the cold, it must be afraid of the heat too! He explained a few sentences about what he thought.
She also told Su Xue that wherever poisonous snakes are entrenched, there will be herbs that can detoxify nearby, so don't panic even if you are accidentally bitten.
Su Xue hummed. She had heard her grandpa say this before.
"Our little dragon knows a lot. Such a smart child must do very well in school, right?" Because it was already some distance away from the place where the snake was just found, Su Xue felt alive again.
He took the opportunity to rub Su Xiaolong's hair and said to him.
Su Xiaolong glanced at Amelia Su who looked like nothing happened, "You don't have to do this, I won't go to school."
Su Xue:......
It's a bit late today, I'm busy with things outside and I'll catch bugs later
