C16 (2/2)

In this era, if a family member did not have a man supporting them, they would be ostracized by others, even if they were family members.

The next morning, after the crowing of the chickens, the little guy from Yutang quietly got up.

After putting on his clothes, he leaned against the cabinet and waited for Tian Yuqiao to wake up.

The moment Tian Yuqiao opened her eyes, she was met with the bright eyes of the little fellow.

”Little brother, why are you up so early?” Tian Yuqiao yawned and asked.

”Sis, aren't we going up the mountain today? I'm a bit too excited so I can't fall asleep. Hehe.”

Only then did Tian Yuqiao remember. He had previously said that he would secretly go to the mountain to refine the lard. No wonder the little guy was so excited.

After dressing quickly, Lady Wang had also woken up. She made some bread for the brother and sister. With the leftover cabbage soup and half of their pig hearts, the family of three finished their breakfast quickly.

”Mom, you should rest at home. Don't ever go out, otherwise we won't be at home. You'll be bullied by them.”

”Qiao'er, don't worry. Mom won't go anywhere. I'll make new clothes for all of you at home.”

Yutang was still carrying the broken bamboo basket that he always carried on his back when he went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. In the basket was more than four pounds of fat and a small pot that was sent over by his pillar's wife.

This pot was enough for Tian Yuqiao's family. After all, there were very few people in the family. If he used such a big stove every time, it would waste a lot of firewood.

The siblings walked up the mountain arm in arm. At this time, only hardworking families would wake up so early. Most of them had yet to wake up.

After all, the farm work had already passed and everyone was free. There was no need to get up so early.

Halfway up the mountain, Tian Yuqiao saw that the little guy's nose was sweating. She quickly tried to snatch the bamboo basket from his back.

”Sis, I can move my back. Seriously, I ate meat yesterday. I'm full of energy now.”

When the little guy saw that Tian Yuqiao wanted to rob him of the bamboo basket on his back, he became somewhat anxious. Now he was the only man in the family, and he was naturally eager for every opportunity to show his manhood.

Tian Yuqiao didn't say anything. He just smiled and continued leading Tian Yutang up the mountain.

Sigh, it's really sad to eat something good at home while sneaking around.

When they reached a mountain ring, Tian Yuqiao felt that it was about time. He found a place with a few rocks and took off all the things behind Tian Yutang.

”Hu!” The little fellow heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, his small face was flushed red.

”Who told you to show off when you're fine? This thing can't be considered heavy, but after all, we've walked so far on the mountain road, don't be so stubborn in the future. ” Tian Yuqiao pretended to be angry.
