The children couldn't imagine what it would be like to be infested with rabbits. They only knew that rabbit meat was delicious and hard to catch.

They caught rabbits in the woods for the reason of collecting firewood, but they always failed to catch them. They learned from Mu Yangling to set up traps. Nine out of ten failed, and the remaining one was the demonstration when Mu Yangling taught them. .

So Liu Lun drooled and asked: "Rabbits are a disaster, so can we eat more rabbit meat?"

The young man really didn't know how to worry, Mu Yangling looked at him enviously, and said, "Don't let your father hear this, or he will beat you up."

Rabbits like to dig holes. Although this is not a grassland and there is no grazing, the damage to the ecology is not as good as that of the grassland. However, the flood of rabbits will still have a great impact on everyone. Among other things, Linshan Village is at the foot of the mountain However, if there are several heavy rains in the coming year, the loose soil caused by the rabbits' holes will be washed down, and even mudslides will occur.

Mu Yangling hadn't seen it, but Mu Shi had. It happened in Linshan Village more than ten years ago, so Mu Shi couldn't help worrying when he saw the number of rabbits in the forest these days, and there was a growing trend.

But his ability alone is limited, and the number of rabbits he can kill is limited, and the mountains and forests are too dangerous, so he didn't dare to encourage everyone to go into the mountains.

Mu Yangling was thinking about how to set up more traps, catch more rabbits, and generate more income when he went back, so Liu Daqian put down the bowls and chopsticks, and waved to the people who also stopped looking at him: "Okay, you guys eat."

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards Ma Liu's. Everyone knew that their siblings had something to say, so they relaxed and continued to eat.

Liu Erqian slowly slid a chopstick of mutton to fill up the bowl, then got up and walked over, the cousin Liu Dazhu next to him twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed secretly, he was still playing tricks.

But after all, he was old and there were younger generations present, saving face for Liu Erqian.

Liu Erqian followed his brothers and sisters, and stood beside them listening to them.

Liu Daqian looked at his sister who was more than ten years older than him, and sighed slightly.

Of the six brothers and sisters of the Liu family, one survived five, the third and fourth died of starvation, and the Ma Liu family was the oldest. When there was a famine, Liu Daqian and his five brothers and sisters survived because of this sister's risk of death. Going into the mountains to find food, this sister is tough and strong, but it's a pity that her life is not good.

Liu Daqian thought for a while, and said: "Sister, Tian Chan will not come back, but with your brothers here, don't be afraid of being bullied by them. Tomorrow I will call Ating and Zhuangzi to help you collect food."

Ma Liushi wiped away her tears and said: "No need, your family also has to work, and the autumn harvest will only take a few days, if it is delayed, it will rain, so I can do it by myself."

Liu Daqian didn't speak, but his attitude was obvious.

Ma Liu asked: "I haven't seen you for three or four years, are you still in good health? How is San Niang?"

Liu Daqian's complexion was a little ugly. The eldest sister married to Xishan Village, but Erniang and Sanniang married in Linshan Village. Last night he went to find Sanniang and asked her son to come with him, but she shied away in every possible way. Dislike him clearly.

Liu Daqian felt very uncomfortable. This younger sister was the youngest, and none of them would be willing to let her feel sad, but in the end she despised the eldest sister.

But Liu Daqian didn't say anything to upset Ma Liushi, but said: "She's fine, she asked me to say hello when I came."

Liu Erqian on the side sneered, looked up at his elder brother, and turned his head away.

Liu Daqian was so angry that he kicked him and said angrily, "How old are you, and you still look like this. If you don't speak, no one will think you are a fool."

Liu Erqian said coolly, "I didn't say anything."

Liu Daqian was even angrier, but Ma Liushi still didn't understand, she just felt depression in her chest, and her eyes were slightly sore, she blinked, blinked back the tears, and forced a smile: "Don't bully the second brother, he is a grandfather There are no more people, and we can’t teach them the same lessons as before.”

Then he said to Liu Erqian: "Second brother, you are also a grandfather, you can't mess around like before, you have to set an example for your grandchildren."

Liu Erqian responded dispensably, and said, "Is there anything else? I'm going back to eat." As he said that, he turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something and took out a money bag from his bosom and stuffed it into Mrs. Liu's hand. Li, shake your head and leave.

Ma Liu was shocked and was about to catch up, but Liu Daqian stopped her, "Okay, you still don't know the second child's temper? If you want to return it, his enthusiasm will be aroused in a while, and he can give the dinner table to you." Damn it, put it away quickly, the two grandnieces are not too young, you prepare them well." As she spoke, she took out a money bag from her bosom and stuffed it into her hand, sighing: "My brother is useless, I can't protect you, don't blame me."

Then he turned around and left.

Ma Liushi leaned against the wall and wept. She blamed her two younger brothers.

Her parents died early, and her four younger brothers and sisters were raised by her desperately. As a result, she was in trouble, but her natal brothers couldn't protect her. Not going back to her natal home to see them in the past three or four years is probably an attitude and a resentment, but now It seems that this matter has hurt himself and them, but it is a big deal for the enemy!

But if she went back to her natal family like in the past, she would not be reconciled. Sometimes Ma Liu would think to herself that if she couldn't protect her natal brothers, what was the use of raising them back then?

Ma Liu let out a sigh of relief, and said in a self-deprecating way: "It's still useful, isn't it useful now?"

When everyone was full, Ma Liushi cut up the remaining mutton and shared it with everyone, saying: "Thank you brothers for coming today, my family is poor and I have nothing to offer, so let's make do with it."

Liu Dazhu laughed and said, "My cousin didn't spoil them. My sister was wronged. As a younger brother, how can I not come here to make up for it? Your nephews also came to hone their skills."

"Okay, okay," Liu Daqian pushed them out, "Stop showing off your tongue here, go back quickly, we'll leave in the afternoon." Then he said to the younger generation of the Liu family: "Help your father and Uncle, walk slowly, don't let anyone fall, there are wild beasts in the mountains."

Everyone responded, and each helped their old man to leave.

Liu Ting rolled up his sleeves and said, "Father, let's carry rice for aunt."

After hearing this, Mu Yangling hurriedly said: "Big cousin, you and your cousins ​​can go cut the rice. My father and I can just carry it, and it will be done in half an afternoon."

Liu Ting expressed doubts, Mu Shi hesitated, Mu Yangling tugged at his sleeves and said, "Father, let my uncle and the others go to cut the rice. With so many people, we can finish it in the afternoon."

Mu Shi thought so too.

There is still half of the rice in the Ma family that has not been cut, but there are many people left today. Brother Liu Daqian, their two sons, plus several children can go to the field to cut rice. There are twelve people in total. The cutting can be finished in the afternoon, so there is no need to make another trip tomorrow, otherwise the two aunts will definitely feel uncomfortable even if they don't talk about it.

Liu Daqian thought about it too, and said to Ma Liu: "Big sister, go borrow a sickle and come back."

Thinking that it will be done today, Ma Liushi didn't have the heart to clean up the table, so he went out to borrow a sickle and took them to the field.

Mu Yangling and Mu Shi were responsible for transporting the rice, and the others cut the rice together. There were so many people, and there were four young adults, it took less than two hours to finish.

Liu Zhuang shook his hands, seeing that the father and daughter of the Mu family had carried out the rice from the two fields, and they were sitting on the ridge to rest, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said to his cousin Liu Xuan beside him: It is so capable of work, it is stronger than the strength of a cow."

Liu Xuan glanced at his father and said, "Shut up, be careful when uncle hears and beats you."

The half of the land was cut, but it was too late to transport it out. Ma Liu hurriedly urged them to go back, "Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to go down the mountain before dark."

Liu Daqian nodded, returned the sickle to her, waved and said, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go home soon."
