Chapter 11 Li Mingren Returns
Chapter 11 Li Mingren returns
Li Mingren came back on this sunny afternoon. In the morning, after the Li family had finished breakfast, Zhao Yunlan saw that the sun was not bad, so she planned to take the quilt out to bask in it. By the way, she also helped Wang and his family to hug the quilts in their house.
When Zhao Yunlan came out to dry the quilt, several younger brothers and sisters watched Zhao Yunlan drying the quilt, and they also took out the quilt to dry together. This caused the Li family's tables and stools to be placed in the yard, with rows of quilts next to each other in the yard. Even Xiaobao was sitting on it.
Not even the small chairs were spared.
Several brothers and sisters of the Li family followed Old Man Li to weed the fields. Spring has begun, and the grass has sprouted in the fields.
Zhao Yunlan, Xiaobao and Wang are the only ones left at home. Maybe Zhao Yunlan's food has been better these days, and Wang can eat more every day, her face looks much better, and she has the energy to cope with needlework.
Already.
Zhao Yunlan tidied the house at home, fed the chickens, took out the firewood left in the house to dry in the sun, and planned to go up the mountain to find some food.
Xiaobao saw that Zhao Yunlan was about to go out, and he also made a fuss about going out. It has been raining these days, and Zhao Yunlan did not let Xiaobao go out. Xiaobao also stayed at home obediently and did not make any fuss. At this time, Xiaobao probably couldn't stay any longer.
, Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to take Xiaobao with him.
"Mom, I'll take Xiaobao up the mountain to have a look. I'll leave the work at home for now. Mom, you have a good rest. I'll come back later and continue working on it."
Wang: "You should be careful with Xiaobao. Don't go into the mountains. Just walk around outside. It's spring and the wild animals are probably starting to move around."
Zhao Yunlan sounded a little worried, but she still had to go to the mountain, so she just didn't have to go in.
There are only two hunters in Lijia Village. So far, I have not encountered any ferocious beasts here, and I can only occasionally hunt down a wild boar. On the contrary, there are many hunters on my parents' side, and I can often hunt wild boars. It is said that I have even shot a tiger before.
Zhao Yunlan retracted her thoughts and said, "I know, mother, I won't go in."
Zhao Yunlan went to get the big basket. The Li family had three baskets, and the two small ones were carried into the fields.
These backpacks were made by Old Man Li. The craft of making backpacks for Old Man Li was taught by Mr. Li at that time. Mr. Li had learned everything in order to support his family. Later, seeing that his son really had no ability, he gave up this craft.
Teach him a skill, and it's like turning on the switch for Old Man Li, who has some talent in this area.
The knitted backpacks are better than those made by Mr. Li. When the villagers see them, they will also pay money to customize the backpacks with Old Man Li. Maybe the quality is so good that the backpacks bought by the villagers from him can be used for several years. Old Man Li’s
The backpack business is not a stable business either. I just make a few and go to town every few months to try my luck.
Zhao Yunlan saw that the basket was quite big, so she picked up the little treasure and put it in the basket, carried it on her back and went out.
Xiaobao had never been carried in a carrier before, so he was so excited when he got in. He hugged Zhao Yunlan's neck and screamed. After walking for some distance, Xiaobao slowly relaxed.
On the way, I met my uncles, uncles and grandparents. Under the leadership of Zhao Yunlan, I politely called everyone along the way. The children in the village were extremely envious when they saw the little baby in the basket.
Some old ladies also envied the Li family for finding a good daughter-in-law. They saw that Zhao Yunlan was really a capable person. Even though her husband was away from home all year round, she was devoted to the old Li family and their children.
Zhao Yunlan walked to the back mountain and was sweating a little because she was carrying Xiaobao on her back. Zhao Yunlan found a small slope to lean on and put Xiaobao down. The mother and son walked together and looked at it. There were no winter bamboo shoots these days.
But after digging, I could only check to see if there were any fungus. Maybe I was lucky today. I saw wild fungus not long after walking. Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao to pick it. They had almost picked it, so Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao with him.
He was about to look elsewhere, but when he looked down here, he saw that there were small pits of various sizes. Zhao Yunlan thought of Wang's words, fearing that wild animals might be out and about, so she finally decided to go back down the mountain instead of here.
After walking a few steps, Zhao Yunlan had to sigh that he was lucky today. He actually encountered a pheasant that had lost its feathers. For safety reasons, Zhao Yunlan did not approach it. He found a long wooden stick and held the chicken to his feet before going to pick it up.
When I picked it up, I felt that the body of the pheasant was still a little soft. Zhao Yunlan guessed that the pheasant had just died. Except for some hair loss, there were no other wounds. Thinking about the fist-sized pit there before, wow, maybe this pheasant
He encountered a big beast, was frightened, and fainted.
Zhao Yunlan was in a very good mood, but she still hugged Xiaobao and quickly went down the mountain.
Zhao Yunlan cautiously went to the home of Lao Zhang Orion in Lijia Village first. Lao Zhang Orion escaped from the previous war. Now he is older and has some land at home. Lao Zhang Orion's second son is restless and occasionally still
He would go hunting, and he is now Hunter Zhang in the village.
"Is Aunt Zhang at home?" Zhao Yunlan called out from the outer room, and Aunt Zhang came out. This is Zhang Orion's wife.
Lao Zhang, Orion's second daughter-in-law, said, "It's Yunlan! Come in, come in, oh, Xiaobao is here too."
Aunt Zhang greeted Zhao Yunlan, mother and son, and took out the mung bean cake left over from the New Year for Xiaobao to eat.
Zhao Yunlan said, "Thank you, Auntie." Xiaobao said at the side, "Thank you, Auntie." Auntie Zhang laughed. Xiaobao had never been to this side of the mountain before, so he had never met Zhang Orion's family. He was still young at the time, so
If you don't know the relationship between these places and neighbors, you can only learn from Zhao Yunlan.
Zhao Yunlan taught from the side, "Xiaobao should be called Grandma Zhang." Xiaobao hid behind Zhao Yunlan's butt in embarrassment. Here, Aunt Zhang laughed and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Yunlan?"
Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, aunt, I would like to ask Uncle Zhang to help me see if this chicken has been poisoned. I just went to the back mountain to pick vegetables and picked up the chicken."
Aunt Zhang looked at the fungus in the basket, "Yunlan found so many fungus?"
"Auntie, well, this fungus came out early. I was really greedy, so I picked it."
"Two days ago, your uncle was talking about going to the mountains to see if there were any fungus?" He called Zhang Orion, who came over and picked up the chicken to take a look, "Well, I'm scared to death of this chicken like this."
. In Lijia Village, our old Zhang family and Li Erzhu's family over there are hunting. We go up the mountain to trap pheasants. It is impossible for our two families to drug the chickens. This is a set rule. You can take it back with you at ease. As you said these days
It is estimated that there are wild boars out and about, so I will discuss with Li Erzhu's family to go to the mountains to have a look in the next two days."
Zhao Yunlan got the word and grabbed a large handful of fungus and put it on the table and planned to go home. "Thank you, aunt and uncle. I'll come and sit at home another day. Yunlan won't disturb me today. I'll give this fungus to uncle and aunt."
Have a taste."
Aunt Zhang sent Yunlan out. On the other side of the Li family, Li Mingren just entered the house and saw a pile of quilts drying in the yard. Li Mingren went into the house to see his mother, and only Wang was at home.
"Dalang, your father and the others have gone to the fields. Lan Niang has taken Xiaobao up the mountain and will probably be back soon. You should go and see your father and the others in the fields!"
Li Mingren: "Mom, how is your health lately? I have to study my lessons soon and won't be able to go to the fields."
Mrs. Wang: "You should be in better health during this period. If you don't want to go, don't go. If you don't go to pick up Lan Niang and her son, you won't come back to see if you hurt your head before."
Li Mingren continued to shirk: "Mom, I can't help it. Isn't it about to take the exam? Time is too tight, they will be back soon. Mom, you rest, I will go back to the room to study."
Mrs. Wang watched her son go out and sighed, her guilt for Zhao Yunlan deepening.
