The three of them placed the small wooden boat back deep in the reeds and looked carefully from the left and right until there was no trace of the boat at all.

"Huh, it's finally put away. Let's go home." Wenhong said as he picked up a full basket.

"Yeah, little sister, I don't need you to help me. My bamboo basket is not as full as the big brother's. It's not heavy. It will arrive in a while. Follow me and walk slowly." Wen You also picked up a bamboo basket.

He waved away Xia Zhu's hand that wanted to help him lift it, as if he was lifting it really easily.

"Well, little brother, don't be pushy. If you can't lift it, let's take a break, or I can help you lift it together. It will be easier for the two of you." Xia Zhu looked at Wenyou's small body lifting such a big bamboo basket.

Could not bear.

"It's okay. You don't need to lift it. It doesn't weigh much. It's just dozens of eggs. How much does it weigh?" Wen You looked relaxed, as if he didn't care about the weight at all.

Full of joy floated among the three brothers and sisters. The way home seemed to be very short, but we still took a break. After all, the bamboo basket was quite big. For the six-year-old and eight-year-old brothers,

Speaking of which, it was quite difficult to walk home in one go. The three siblings all wanted to go home early and share the harvest with their families.

The three of them didn't know how many eggs they had. They wanted to go home quickly and count today's harvest, but they were worried that the little sister wouldn't be able to walk fast and would stop and go.

Before they reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw Chunlan watching from a distance. Seeing Wenhong and others approaching, she quickly ran over, full of pride. Xia Zhu thought, luckily her mother didn't see it, otherwise Chunlan would have been hacked again.

Already.

"Why did you guys come back just now? The sun is almost setting. My mother was so impatient that she asked me to come look for you. She urged me several times. She kept asking me just now.

, why don't you see anyone every day? Where have you been peeled? Are you going to get into trouble?" As soon as Chunlan saw the three brothers and sisters, she talked a lot.

A few days ago, Xia Zhu told Chunlan that she found a small wooden boat on the shore, so Chunlan was half an insider. Lu took Chunlan to learn needlework every day, and looking at the posture, Chunlan knew that Lu was very lucky this time.

Cheng Shi would not give up. Chunlan's recent life had been quite heart-wrenching. In desperation, Xia Zhu asked Chunlan to be responsible for stabilizing Lu at home. Of course, this was also because Chunlan had no choice. If she could choose,

, Chunlan had already gone paddling. After a few days of tossing, Chunlan felt that her head was getting bigger, she was miserable, and she was annoyed by Lu.

"Sister, look at how many wild duck eggs we picked up. Hehe, it's a good harvest today. It's a good start." Xia Zhu said happily to Chunlan, pointing to the bamboo basket. After walking such a long way, she was a little out of breath.

.

"Little sister, don't be so obsessed with money, and you got off to a good start." Wenyou couldn't help but argue, but the little sister relaxed and walked slowly, showing off on her own, carrying the big basket, switching from left hand to right hand, switching back and forth.

Finally saw home.

"Okay, little brother, I'll carry the basket, and you go with my little sister. Let me remind you first. You can tell your mother later what you are doing. There are also these two baskets of wild duck eggs. You can tell yourselves.

Go, I can't figure out how to talk about so many wild duck eggs. Besides, even if I knew, I can't help you. Who asked me to be at home every day. How about you go talk to your mother and I will help you.

Go pick it up?" Chunlan was very excited when she thought that this was possible. Of course, Chunlan underestimated Lu's determination.

"Sister, I'm not trying to hit you, but I don't dare to say such things to my mother. She might even scold us for not being nice to you. Spare us!" Wen You is a young man, and he doesn't want to be imprisoned like his eldest sister.

at home.

"Oh, it's not good to pick too many. We have to worry about how to get so many wild duck eggs. If I had known better, I would have just picked up a few." Xia Zhu looked very distressed. Fortunately, they had already arrived early.

I've thought of my words, but they're not very convincing.

"Come on, little sister, don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy. Be careful if you pick up a few wild duck eggs tomorrow, some of them will make you cry. You are still so proud now, let's see how proud you are.

How long." When Chunlan thought about her dark needlework life, she envied those of the younger ones, how comfortable they were.

"Sister, I don't care about you. You are at home every day, so it is inevitable that you will feel resentful. If you want to find someone to vent your anger on, I don't blame you. Hahahaha." Xia Zhu looked magnanimous.

When Chunlan heard this, she immediately came to catch Xia Zhu. Xia Zhu was so frightened that she quickly told Chunlan to be careful with the basket. It was a basket of wild duck eggs. Chunlan stared at it fiercely, but she was reluctant to break even one egg.

The three brothers and sisters told Chunlan the interesting things that happened today, and Chunlan was very happy to hear it.

"Why do you guys come back so late? Your father is back and you can't even play anymore. You have to ask your eldest sister to find you. It's really worrying." As soon as Mrs. Lu saw how many of you came back, she came out with porridge and put it on the table.

When he got to the table, he complained.

"Mom, um, let's climb that hillside and go have a look at the reed swamp over there." Wenhong was not used to lying to Mrs. Lu, so he spoke hesitantly, trying to say something unimportant.

"Put down the basket you are carrying and show it to me."

Lu took a casual glance and saw that they looked like wild duck eggs. She couldn't believe it, after all, they were packed in a basket. After staring for a few seconds, she was finally convinced that they were indeed wild duck eggs. Seeing that the bamboo basket was full of wild duck eggs,

She was quite surprised, so she hurriedly walked over and asked a few children to put down their bamboo baskets for her to take a look at.

"There are also wild duck eggs down there. Where did so many wild duck eggs come from? Yes, this bamboo basket belongs to our family. I recognize it. Your father just made it in the dark a few days ago. But here, there are too many wild duck eggs.

Right." Mrs. Lu muttered, obviously finding it difficult to believe it. She also looked at the bamboo basket carefully and saw that it was her own.

"Where did you get so many wild duck eggs? Are they in both baskets?" Lu said and went to look at the other bamboo basket.

"Mom, we climbed the small hillside and went there to pick up so many wild duck eggs. We originally thought that there was no one there, and there weren't many people there usually, so we went there specifically to pick up wild duck eggs.

It's even less, so we set out early to pick it up." Wenyou explained with exaggerated expressions and vivid language.

"Then there won't be so many wild duck eggs." Lu clearly didn't believe it.

"We can't believe it either. We still can't believe it even now." Wen You looked in disbelief.

"That's right, Mom, don't tell me, there may not be many people there. We were happy picking it up, but we were a little tired on the way back. My brothers had to carry the basket, which made it even more tiring." Xia

Zhu worked harder to seduce.

"Are there really so many wild duck eggs over there?" Ms. Lu was also confused.

"Mom, we didn't expect there to be so many. Mom, you know that as long as you find a wild duck nest, there will be a lot of eggs in the nest. We even deliberately left one in the nest to avoid

Wild ducks don't dare to lay eggs anymore." Wen You said slowly.

"Mom, do you think it's useful to leave it in the nest?" Xia Zhu asked Madam Lu curiously.

"This girl doesn't know much about it either. I guess it's always useful."

"Mom, you can't tell others, otherwise the eggs we keep will be useless." Xia Zhu acted rogue.

Xia Zhu acted coquettishly at Lu. Lu thought that her little daughter’s little arms and legs must be exhausted after walking so much and climbing mountains. She thought about the children working so hard to pick up so many wild duck eggs.

, I wanted to do my part to improve the family. Mrs. Lu couldn't bear to dig into the details. Mrs. Lu hugged Xia Zhu over distressedly and asked if she had bumped into anything or if she had been scratched by the branches.

For the time being, they did not investigate where these wild duck eggs came from. The brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Lu saw it and smiled lightly.

In fact, Mrs. Lu also knew that with so many wild duck eggs, it would be good if every family in the village had seven or eight. She thought that her children must have picked them up, and she couldn't bear to think about the worst.

Tang Dahai went to the vegetable field to see what was going on. When he came back, he found his family gathered around the yard. Looking forward, he saw two baskets full of wild duck eggs on the ground, and his wife was counting the eggs. He was shocked.

He jumped and asked anxiously where this came from.

The brothers and sisters repeated what they had said before, but finally gave up under Xia Zhu's insistence and coquettishness.

Wenyou and the others did not expect that the matter would just go away like this, and all the excuses they had used to set up each other were useless. In the end, it was not as effective as the little girl being coquettish and pouting?

The fact is that it is true. Prescribing the right medicine is the last word and the effect is significant.
