Liu Heng picked up the machete and chopped it down at the dead tree trunk he had been looking at.
He moved so quickly, and within a short time, the basket was filled with dead branches.
Liu Heng picked up the basket on his back, chose a different direction from the man, and walked out of the forest.
Back home, Liu's mother was cooking.
Father Liu was talking to his uncle Liu Dashi.
Liu's father has five brothers in his generation. He is the fourth and his name is Liu Dashan.
Except for Liu Dashan and Liu Dashi, the other three brothers did not survive to adulthood.
Only the two brothers were left, taking care of each other and having a very good relationship.
Liu Dashan listened to Uncle Liu very much.
Uncle Liu was teaching his younger brother: "As a father, you can't be too partial. You value the eldest son and favor the younger son, but you can't ignore the other sons."
"Euclidean has good grades and is a rare person in our Liu family who can read. You should support his education and let him go to junior high school and high school. Maybe in the future our family will be able to have a city citizen. But you let him go home to farm! He is old You’re not big yet, how much can you do?”
Liu Dashan said solemnly: "Huaizi also went home to farm after finishing elementary school..."
Uncle Liu: "That's because his grades are not good. Going to junior high school is just a waste of money and has no future. Eucalyptus is different. His grades are good..."
Uncle Liu chattered a lot.
Both inside and outside the words were optimistic about Meranti.
Uncle Liu has four children, three daughters and one son.
Therefore, Uncle Liu envied his younger brother for having many sons.
He treats his nephews very well, and his favorite is Meranti.
In Uncle Liu's view, Liu Gu is the smartest among his nephews and will definitely have a future.
It's a pity that the younger brother and sister-in-law are partial to the eldest son and the younger son. They don't care about the smartest son at all, and they want to destroy Liu Gu's future.
Uncle Liu can't ignore it anymore.
After being taught a lesson by Uncle Liu, Father Liu finally agreed to let Liu Yu continue studying.
As for Liu Hiiragi, who was asked not to go to school together with Liu Yu and whose presence was low, he and Liu's mother ignored him.
Liu Heng thought they did it on purpose.
The two of them were unwilling to shell out another share of money.
Liu's mother wanted to keep the money so that her daughter Liu Tao could attend junior high school.
Liu Heng didn't care about their neglect.
His parents in this life were just familiar strangers to him.
Liu Heng doesn't force his parents' love, and of course don't expect him to give affection.
The next day, Liu Yu happily carried her schoolbag and went to the town's junior high school to register.
Liu Heng was taken to work by Liu's father.
Village chief Liu Xueming said to Liu's father: "Your third son is young and looks weak, so he can't do much work. It's better to let him work at home."
Father Liu said: "You can still do things, at least your hands and feet are neat."
Liu Xueming: "Two work points a day."
Liu's father: "It's too little. It needs at least three work points."
Liu Xueming: "Okay, then three work points."
After speaking, he turned to Liu Hieragi and assigned work to Liu Hieragi.
Liu Heng agreed and went to work obediently.
Liu Xueming said to Liu's father: "Your third child is an honest boy."
He had heard that the Liu family allowed their second son to continue studying in junior high school, but asked their third son to go home and work in the farm.
The third child did not make a fuss, which shows how honest this child is.
Father Liu: "Three sticks can't beat a fart, that's too bad."
Liu Xueming: "You just have too many sons, so you dislike this and that."
Father Liu chuckled.
He is proud of having many sons.
Unlike Liu Xueming, he only has a daughter but no son.
This old boy has never given up and wants to give birth to a son.
But he and his wife are both in their forties, how can they still have a baby?
Liu Heng was assigned a job and it was easy to work with the women.
His eyes swept across a figure, it was Widow Mi, one of the protagonists in the action scene in the mountains and forests yesterday.
Liu Xueming, who just arranged his work, is another protagonist.
I don’t know when these two people got together, but it must have been a while.
Widow Mi's husband has been dead for ten years. She raised her daughter and son by herself, and her life was just fine. It would be impossible without someone to look after her secretly.
Although Liu Heng likes to hear gossip, he will not expose other people's secrets.
He would not do anything that would harm others but not benefit himself.
"Hiirako, are your parents too partial? They actually let your second brother go to school and let you go home to work!"
"That's right. When your eldest brother went home to work in the farm, he was busy with work and was already a big man. You are only eleven now, and you are still a child. How much work can you do with such a small body? To put it bluntly, it's all because of your parents' preference."
"..."
The women were chirping, all complaining about Liu Hiiragi.
But Liu Heng understood that these people were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, and were using their words to provoke him.
Liu Heng shrank his neck, pretending to be frightened by the women, and did not respond to their words.
The women found it uninteresting to bully such an honest child and quickly changed the subject.
They talked about other gossip in the village.
Liu Heng pricked up his ears and listened.
He eats other people's food with gusto.
At noon, Liu Heng went home for lunch.
A plate of pickles and a bowl of sweet potato porridge.
The porridge was really watery, with only two or three pieces of sweet potato in it.
After eating, I was only four to five minutes full, and it would be digested after a while.
Liu Heng looked at the four or five pieces of sweet potato in Liu Tao's bowl beside him and said nothing.
Anyway, Father Liu and Mother Liu have been partial to each other for more than a day or two.
Didn’t you see that there was one less piece of sweet potato in Liu Hiiragi’s bowl than his?
Because he goes to work to earn work points.
Not only did Meranti not earn any work points, but she also spent family money to go to school. This made Meranti's mother very unhappy, so she naturally deprived her of food.
Still less knowledgeable.
I don’t want to think about whether Meranti will really make a difference in the future. Will he resent them because of today’s deduction and ignore them when he gets rich in the future?
After lunch, Meranti ran away with her schoolbag on her back.
Liu Heng knew that he was looking for food by himself.
The environment of their village is good, at the foot of the mountain.
The woods on the mountain are lush, with a lot of game and many mountain birds.
Children can often dig out bird eggs and eat them.
Liu Heng returned to the room he shared with Liu Yu and lay down for a lunch break.
When I was a child, I was woken up by Liu Huai, the elder brother Liu, and they went to work together.
In the evening, I went home, had a meal, and then went back to the house to rest. The day passed like this.
After the whole family fell asleep, Liu Heng got up, secretly left Liu's house and headed towards the mountains and forests.
They say don’t go into the mountains and forests at night, it’s dangerous.
But Liu Heng is not afraid.
With his skills, he can still climb a tree even if he encounters a bear.
In his previous life, he had killed many zombies and learned killing techniques from the special forces who protected him.
In this life, he practiced the killing technique.
If he encounters a wolf, he can also kill it.
Liu Heng entered the forest and soon found a pheasant nest.
Make a fire and roast the chicken.
After filling his stomach, extinguishing the fire, and destroying the evidence, Liu Heng went home to sleep.
