Zhao Wenduo held a moringa stick in his hand and made up and down gestures with the sickle in his right hand. Recalling the distance and feel yesterday, he no longer hesitated. He took out the snow nest about two centimeters from the ground and swung it down.

, the tree broke in response.

Zhao Wenduo didn't know at the moment that this kind of moringa was extremely hard. Even a strong adult would need three or two knives to cut off one of this thickness. Those with a little strength would need several strokes. A little girl of her age,

Even if you are stronger than children of the same age, and you can sharpen your sickle very quickly, you still have to cut it off one at a time. This kind of wood not only requires strength, but also requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, so that you can see it with your hand.

It can be said to be an experiential job.

For a person who has only gone up the mountain twice to cut firewood, it is almost unprecedented to cut a tree like this. Fortunately, there are no two people around at this time, otherwise it will definitely be a surprise, just like this

The chopping technique requires a skilled craftsman.

With the first knife, the second knife, the third knife, and the fourth knife followed, and trees were chopped down one after another. After all, he was a person who came out of the apocalypse, and his previous job was to harvest with a knife.

It's no problem to have accurate eyesight. The first two cuts were just to try out the feel. Once you master the trick, the more you cut, the more smoothly you will get.

After a while, the surrounding trees were knocked down, leaving a large open space.

Zhao Wenduo first put down the sickle, pulled out a few softer vines, neatly arranged the cut firewood one by one, tied it into bundles and stacked them. After looking at it, he cut about thirty-five pieces.

Six bundles, according to Li Cuizhen's standards, these can be burned for a month.

Something seems wrong!

Zhao Wenduo looked up at the sun in the sky and estimated that it would be eight or nine o'clock at this time. If he cut at this speed, he would have two to three hundred bundles of firewood by the evening, let alone the year before the end of the year.

Two winters are enough.

No, something is definitely wrong!

Zhao Wenduo thought back to Li Cuizhen's tone when she was talking about cutting firewood last night. What she meant was that it would be difficult to cut enough firewood today, but she would not be able to hold on until the New Year. Counting the days, it was only a few months until the New Year, one bundle a day.

There was only so much firewood in front of me.

Zhao Wenduo realized what was wrong. At her current age, she was probably far from being able to reach this speed. That is, she accidentally used too much force and cut too much firewood.

I just started yesterday and didn't pay much attention to these details. Zhao Wenying didn't talk about it in this aspect. In addition, the time was short and I couldn't see it, so I didn't think about it in this aspect.

She is really not careless. Who would have thought of this problem? This is her lowest achievement. This small body is still too immature after all. Both strength and toughness are far behind. It really needs good training.

.

But it was because of this thought that she was careless for a moment and did not think about how she could not use the previous standards to measure herself now. Even though the villagers knew that the third girl of the Zhao family was stronger than other children of the same age, in the end she was not as strong as

Adults always have to have a standard. A little more is better, and more than it is terrible. Anything that is too out of the ordinary will always make people feel uneasy, and they don’t want to be treated as an anatomy object in the laboratory. This will cost ten thousand yuan.

Be more careful.

Zhao Wenduo was also decisive. Once he realized this, he immediately stopped. He looked around and saw that no one was coming, so he patted the snow ash on his hands and walked up the mountain step by step.

The couple of the Guo family were chopping vigorously when they looked up and saw Zhao Wenduo coming up from the mountainside. Qiu Huizhen straightened up and shouted to her: "Third girl, are you tired of chopping? Come up and take a rest!"

Zhao Wenduo had his own little plan, but when he heard her shouting, he said: "Well, I'm a little tired, come up and get some fresh air."

"You are too young to be able to do this kind of work. Don't work too hard and injure yourself. It will take a lifetime. When you are tired, take a break, eat something and drink water."

"Yes, I know." Zhao Wenduo raised the kettle in his hand and raised it towards the two of them: "Well - I have water here, it's still warm. Do you want to drink some?"

It was obviously an intimate conversation, but what she said was very unnatural, and the title was also very vague. Qiu Huizhen didn't mind at all. She pursed her lips and said happily to Guo Huairen: "Look at these three girls, they think quite well."

Thoughtful and brought all the water.”

Guo Huairen knew what she was enjoying, so he also grinned and said to Zhao Wenduo: "You silly girl, can you go up the mountain to chop firewood without bringing water? We have brought two big jars with us, and just now your Aunt Guo said that we need water.

Don't go down to see if you have enough water, why don't you come up first and ask about us."

Zhao Wenduo didn't know that they had brought water, so she just found an excuse to come up to investigate the situation. The two laughed and said a few words to her liking, and she giggled twice as if nothing had happened.

She looked over and saw the piles of firewood and said, "Are these all chopped today?" She roughly counted them and found that they were almost the same as the bundles under her head.

"Yes, they were all chopped now. What about you, how many bundles have you chopped?" Qiu Huizhen went to take a drink of water and handed it to Guo Huairen, asking him to stop and take a rest.

Zhao Wenduo chuckled and said sheepishly: "I haven't chopped a few bundles, but they are not even half as many as this."

"That's not true. This is the result of me and your Uncle Guo." Qiu Huizhen glared and said, "How much more do you want to chop, little girl? As long as you can chop ten or twenty bundles this day.

That's right. Don't try to do it to death. You haven't grown up yet, and it won't be worth it if you get exhausted again."

"Yes, I understand. Take it slow." Zhao Wenduo drank water, looked like he was being taught, chatted a few more words with the two of them, felt that the time was almost up, patted his butt and left the hill.

superior.

Qiu Huizhen looked at her thin and dry back as she left, and sighed: "It's really not easy. You have to go up the mountain to cut firewood at such a young age. Even a kid wouldn't change."

Guo Huairen said: "These girls from the Zhao family are quite good, they can work, they are good-looking, and they are all sensible."

"No, the eldest girl is naive and capable, and the second girl is beautiful and handy. I didn't think these three girls were outstanding before, but now I see that they are able to endure hardships and live a good life. It's just that they don't have a sweet mouth, and they don't care when meeting people.

I know I should call her "big" and "little", but I haven't seen her call me uncle or aunt after chatting for a long time. It's always you, and your words don't sound good to my ears."

"Don't pick and choose those things. People who talk sweetly may not be good. How can you be considered good if you just talk and don't do any work? Let me tell you, it's better to be an honest person who can't say sweet things."

"Hey, I didn't say anything bad about the third girl, I just thought she would suffer easily if she didn't talk sweetly."

"You're such a nonsense person. Her mother won't even listen to her. How can you tell her?"

"That's true. Yesterday I heard Li Cuizhen calling out, saying that these three girls deserved to be beaten. They didn't know how to call mom. My own parents were not willing to call them, let alone others. Look, these three girls are not bad.

Yelling is because she is naturally clumsy and can't say nice things. You see, she was very close to us just now, and she even wanted to bring some water to her, but she just couldn't yell. She must not have done it intentionally, it's just her personality.

"

Guo Huairen nodded and said: "No one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings of one kind or another. This girl is still young and can understand the cold weather at home. It's enough to go up the mountain to cut firewood. I also want to call her

Whatever she is doing, just don’t scream if she doesn’t want to. Just understand what kind of temper she is. It’s not like you’re getting married to get a wife, there’s no point in picking and choosing from so many things.”

Qiu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said: "You have very little thinking, and those three boys of yours haven't married yet. How can I do this without thinking too much? What will I get if I just point at your carelessness?"

When can we find a wife for our son? You have already said that these girls from the Zhao family are all very good. Whichever one you marry will be good for your family."

"Yes, Zhao Mingyu and these girls are all good, but none of them can be married to us. The eldest brother, Zhao Wenying, and Luo Yubao have decided to marry each other. The two elderly people have already passed the marriage. This year and a half has been terrible.

It's easy to get the certificate. Besides, Zhao Wenlan is a regular worker in the embroidery factory, and the conditions are good in Sanli.

There are not many people in Wucun who can pick out a few. How can people like those three boys from our family? And these three girls, they are smart and good at studying, they are sensible and can work, but they are really too young at this age.

There is still a difference of eight or nine years between the third child and our fourth child. As for the fourth child, let alone that, the difference is even greater."

"Oh, I just can't remember it." Qiu Huizhen sighed and said, "You said this good girl is right under your nose, so why can't there be a suitable one?"

Guo Huairen said: "Don't think about it, just chop the firewood. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let those three boys figure it out. It's so good that they can pull it back by themselves without us helping."

A daughter-in-law, maybe even better than this girl from the Zhao family."

"If that's the case, I'll burn some incense." Qiu Huizhen stood up happily, spit on her hands, and started working.
