The jujube tree is not very tall, and its branches are not very strong. A few older children just sat on the main pole, reached out to grab the branches, shook them, and knocked down the dates with the wooden poles in their hands.
The following children went to pick up the fallen dates. Some wiped the dates with their clothes and stuffed them into their mouths. Some took off their clothes and prepared to put the dates back in their clothes to eat.
A girl sitting on the tree said: "You pick it up for a while and then stop picking it up. Leave some for us, otherwise what will we eat?"
She snorted and tapped Han Nian, who was picking it up quickly: "Little girl, please slow down, the lawn is slippery, and there is a slope here. Don't slide down."
Han Nian responded without raising her head while picking up jujubes. Of course she knew it was slippery here, but when she picked up the jujubes, she could cook jujube water for Widow Han and give some to Lao Lin's family. She was grateful to them for taking them in. After a while, she stopped worrying too much.
A group of children were so happy that they had to clean up the jujube tree before walking to a clean place to rest.
I set aside some dates to take back to my family, but I was greedy and ate the rest while imitating the adults' punches.
Han Nian counted the dates. She had only gone to school for about a year. Although counting was not too difficult, making some formulas was much more difficult.
She was troubled about how much the family should share. She originally planned to share half of the family, but the amount was a base number. She tried to use multiplication and division, but she was not good at learning and stumped herself.
"Ninety-seven in total..."
How much do you want to give to Lao Lin's family?
Han Nian couldn't calculate the average for the moment, so he planned to go back and ask Han Cui. She was sitting on the edge without eating, listening to Lin Xiangrong and Qi Rong chatting beside her about some interesting things in the town or village. I was extremely envious.
She has no playmates and no friends. She has no way to be as lively and active as Lin Xiangrong, playing around like a cat and still being loved by others.
The grass not far away moved.
The movement attracted Han Nian's attention. She thought that there were hares and pheasants on the mountain, so she wanted to go and have a look.
"That night, Xiangrong, I'm going to use the toilet and I'll be back later." Han Nian was embarrassed to say that he was going to catch hares and pheasants, so he made an excuse. After getting Lin Xiangrong's acceptance and instructions, Han Nian He ran away blushing in embarrassment.
"Come back early and don't run too far!" Lin Xiangrong shouted again at Han Nian's back. Lin Xiangrong warned him two or three times and stopped shouting when no one was in sight.
Qi Rong was a little annoyed to see Lin Xiangrong worried about her: "Am I not your best friend? Why should I care about her?"
She has been hurt by her family since she was a child. Because Lin Yuanxi took his little brother to the health center, the village party secretary's family and Lao Lin's family were very close, and the two of them grew up together.
Now seeing Lin Xiangrong caring so much about Han Nian, I couldn't figure it out for a moment, and my eyes were red with anger: "You are not allowed to be nice to her."
"puff!"
Listening to his sister's willful words, the grandson of the village party secretary who was rescued by Yuan Xi by accident, Qi Rong's brother, laughed.
He said: "Girl Rong, don't be too willful. It's normal to want Rong to have other friends."
Qi Rong glared at him: "Brother Sheng! You are not allowed to say anything!"
Then he hugged Lin Xiangrong's arm: "Only be nice to me, only be nice to me!"
Lin Xiangrong was so stunned by her that she could only agree: "Okay, I'm only good friends with you."
She sighed, but she didn't notice that Han Nian was not far away when he came back. She squeezed the few wild mushrooms she had picked and stared at them with her mouth slightly pursed.
Han Nian opened her mouth, wanting to call Lin Xiangrong to come over to pick mushrooms, but then thinking of what Qi Rong said, she felt sour and bitter for a while, so she went to pick mushrooms in the distance without calling them together.
They just met too late, and it's normal to have a bad relationship with her.
Trying to comfort himself, Han Nian lowered his head to pick mushrooms while thinking about various things in a complicated mood. When he looked up, he realized that he was in a strange place.
She was startled, turned around and looked behind her, only to find that the road she came from had disappeared, and there were only her own footprints on the ground. She ran back along the footprints, and saw the same tree three times before realizing it. Until I got lost.
"Lin, Lin Xiangrong!" Han Nian cried and shouted while running: "Where are you?!"
The mountains and forests were dense, and the sun was setting. The mountains and forests, separated from the sunlight, became dark and gloomy, and the temperature gradually dropped, which made Han Nian feel scared and cold.
Half an hour ago, when Lin Xiangrong got up and Qi Rong and the others were preparing to go home, they remembered that Han Nian had not come back.
She was startled. She looked around and couldn't find Han Nian, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Where is Han Nian?"
How long has this been going on?
Not to mention going to the toilet, it would take enough time to build a toilet.
"Didn't she come back?"
Qi Rong looked around but didn't see Han Nian. Although she didn't like her getting close to Lin Xiangrong, she didn't want to lose her. She grabbed her brother's arm in a panic: "Brother Sheng, is Han Nian leaving?" lost?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's search around first. You go back to find our dad and ask our dad to call someone up the mountain to help find him!"
One of the older children organized several younger ones to go down the mountain and go home and call the adults to come to the mountain to look for someone. The other two older boys teamed up to look for them while shouting.
Lin Xiangrong was so anxious that she almost had a blister on her mouth: "Dad!"
She rushed home: "Han Nian is lost! He was lost on the mountain. Hurry up and go to the mountain chief to find someone!"
Just after returning from work, Lin Yuannan, who was drinking water, squirted out a mouthful of water when he heard his daughter's words: "What are you doing in the mountains?"
A child was lost in the mountains. If he accidentally went into the mountains and was eaten by a wolf, how would he explain it to Han Cui?
"We, we went to beat dates. Han Nian said that he had to go to the toilet and waited for a while but didn't come back. We didn't pay attention to her figure. When we left, we realized that she was not there." Lin Xiangrong has never been Lin Yuannan yelled, and was stunned for a moment. His eyes were slightly red after he came to his senses, and his voice was a little choked but he still made it clear.
Lin Yuannan heard that his daughter's voice was not right, so he picked her up and shook her: "Dad, I didn't mean it. You go to the house to rest first, and I will go to the mountain to find someone."
Then he called Sanfu, who had just returned home from school, to carry his daughter to the backyard. He took a flashlight and hurried up the mountain. On the way, he met someone holding a coal lamp and nodded. Then he went into the forest to call someone. He met several big men. The younger children asked about the place where they were harvesting dates, and then they began to search around the jujube tree.
Lin Xiangrong lay on the bed and felt uncomfortable for a while before she recovered. She put on an extra coat and brought another coat with her. She sneaked out and climbed up the mountain while her family was not paying attention, and looked for her along the place where Han Nian left. figures and traces.
