The sun sets in the west, and its remaining light shines on the sparse eaves. ''Two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, two eight two nine thirty one''. The noisy sounds of nursery rhymes echoed in this small mountain village. It adds a bit of vitality to this mountain village.

"Er Niu. How come you, a boy, can jump rope better than us girls? You have to hold up the rope for you all day long." A little girl with a double-tailed braid shouted angrily.

Erniu scratched his head and said in a silly voice, "I don't know either, I just think this thing is not difficult."

"I know, I know. His father must have given him a pair of herbs that are very powerful for skipping rope, which made him jump so well." The dog boy holding the rope on the other side also shouted excitedly.

"It's nothing. How can there be such herbal medicine? I'm extremely talented." Haha, just learn from it.

"This is why Erniu is so good. I stand with Erniu." The friends standing nearby shouted.

In fact, Erniu's ability to jump rope is entirely due to the fact that he goes to the mountains to collect herbs for his family all year round and runs flexibly in the mountains day after day.

Erniu's family is the only one who practices medicine in this ten-mile-eight village. When I get sick, I usually go to his house to see a doctor. Sometimes the adults in the family can't leave, so Erniu, who has wanted to help the family share the housework since he was a child, decided to take over the job. At first, the family was worried and didn't agree with the job of collecting herbs. However, as they grew older and were told that it could only be done outside the mountains, they acquiesced to Erniu. Erniu never disappoints and helps to collect some medicinal materials every time.

The smell of rice came, and every household was preparing meals one after another, and with a cry, "It's time to eat, Gouwa."

Everyone playfully touched their hungry bellies and went home to eat one after another.

"You're running around all day long. Look at those pants. They were newly made for you. They have holes in them after just one day of wearing them." The boy's father brought our feather duster over and let him know whether he knew the quality of this piece of fabric. It's easy. Your parents are reluctant to make clothes all year round. It's better for you. After wearing it for one day, it will get holes in it.

"Mom, I was wrong. Don't hit me. You won't dare to hit me again. You shouted and ran out." The friends saw this scene before they could go far, and laughed and cheered. When Erniu saw this scene, he looked at his pants and suddenly his heart tightened. Damn it, when we were picking out bird eggs, our pants got caught on tree branches. Hopefully I won’t get beaten when I get home.

Erniu returned home in fear and called out to his parents, "I'm back." Without waiting for a response, he quickly went back to his room, rummaged through the cabinets, pulled out a pair of pants, put them on, and then came to the dinner table as if nothing had happened. As soon as I sat down, I was attracted by the food in front of me. I usually don't see so much meat. It's not a major holiday, so why not arrange meat and vegetables? I thought about it while shouting to my mother who was busy in the kitchen.

"Your second uncle is back today. He will have a nice drink with your dad later. Don't eat it yet. You can wait until they come back later."

Er Niu shouted excitedly: "Ah, it's my second uncle who's back. I haven't seen my second uncle for a long time. Every time he comes back, he always brings me delicious food." He took advantage of his words to sneak around. He glanced in the direction of the kitchen and stuffed a piece of pork head into his mouth.

"Yes, your second uncle has taken great care of our family. When you grow up, don't forget about your second uncle. Now that your second uncle has made a fortune, I heard that you can make a lot of money in the mountain goods business."

"Then I will be as good as my second uncle in the future, and then you, the second uncle, will not have to do anything." Er Niu shouted with a grin.

"The second son of our family, Er Niu, will definitely be more powerful than your second uncle, hahaha." Following the voice, two people came in from the door, one was Er Niu's father, and the other was his second uncle.

"Second uncle, you're here." Erniu stood up in a hurry to greet him.

"Er Niu is getting stronger and stronger, sister-in-law, stop cooking." He couldn't eat so much, so the second uncle stroked Er Niu's head and sat down.

"It's not much, it's not much. It's a long journey all the way back, and there's not much good food to eat," Erniu's mother called as she brought a plate of stir-fried vegetables down from the kitchen.
