Chapter 101: Riding the Horse

The two of them rode to the center of the valley. Looking at Xiao De Xiaomu who was left behind from afar, Jiang Hua made a gesture and signaled that they would jog slowly and not rush to follow. They saw about a hundred acres of mud on the green hillside. It was called a wetland in academic terms, which was where the river water surged after the rain. Because of the stone mountain, the soil layer was not thick, and most of the rainwater gathered and flowed out. Some were retained in this mud land, and some overflow continued to flow along the small river through the Gukou Shuiwan, and gathered with the mountain streams on both sides of the village into the Pei River.

At this moment, there are many birds gathered in the mud. Because in summer and autumn, there are many mosquitoes, fish and shrimps here, which can easily fill their stomachs, so it attracts many birds. Most of Jianghua have seen them, but they don’t know their scientific names. Sometimes they will see some precious birds. After all, the Qinling Mountains are rich in resources and there are many rare animals, even on the edge of the mountain range.

After patrolling the grassland, he didn't even see a rabbit fur. Li Qingyun looked disappointed: "Brother Hua, are you sure there are rabbits nearby?"

Jiang Hua tied the horse's reins and stopped in place: "It must be. I remember that when I was a child, I often beat hares to have tooth sacrifices, but later it became less and less, and it became harder to see. When I was a child, I raised hares and died after raising them for a few days. After they were caught, they stopped eating. The village never heard anyone support them."

Li Qingyun looked at Jiang Hua and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because the hare is righteous and will not eat food that comes from pity after being captured."

"Who knows, maybe the rabbit is timid. It seems that I can't eat rabbit meat today. The rabbit meat is actually a little bit of oil, and it is not delicious if it is not done well. The best way is to stew it, and just drool when you think about it." Jiang Hua's aftertaste, maybe the memories of childhood are more delicious.

The two of them rode slowly on horseback, admiring the gradually changing color of the hillside on the back. Occasionally, they could see squirrels flashing by, cattle and sheep lowered their heads and grazed them, occasionally looking up around, but their mouths were still not idle.

"Do you have wild boars here? I used to hear that wild boars can harm crops, and they say that tigers are afraid of seeing them." Li Qingyun looked curious, and didn't know where they saw them or heard of them.

"There are crops that are harmful. I remember when I was a child, I saw them often, and gradually they were less. At that time, wild boars seemed not to be protected animals. They often came out of the mountains to find food. In winter, the most were the food in the mountains, maybe the least in winter. There were no special hunters in the village. Everyone put animal traps near the entrance of the valley and caught a lot."

“Is the wild boar delicious?”

"I said you women no longer have the concerns about losing weight. Are they all foodies?"

"Hey, everyone has a love for beauty. In the past, I was afraid that I would get fat, so I would be very concerned about eating. I could not eat anything. I should pay attention to it if I eat too much and less. How can I let it go? Now I have no worries about losing weight, so I still have the desire to fill my stomach. What should I eat this afternoon?" After saying that, I swallowed my saliva.

"Go home first, someone will look for it." Jiang Hua drove his horse to the house. Because there were people at home, the two of them arrived in front of their hometown in less than a minute.

At this time, the person knocking on the door had not yet walked away. He was an old man in his seventies. Jiang Hua quickly got off the horse and shouted: "Por Li, is there anything wrong? My parents are not at home these days."

The old man had a little ear, so Jiang Hua spoke a little loudly. His living conditions were also hard, he had shortage of supplies, poor medical conditions, and even major and minor illnesses. He went to the town to buy some medicine. Many elderly people did not live so long, so did Jiang Hua's grandparents. He had never seen his grandmother. He went there when he was in junior high school.

Hearing a shout behind him, Grandma Li turned around, her eyes were still very clear, unlike many elderly people, her eyes were a little cloudy. When she saw it was Jiang Hua, she said, "It's Xiaohua, it's not a big deal, it's Lin Jun's father. It's going to be three years. I'll inform you, it's the day after tomorrow. Come and see it."

Three years is also the third anniversary of a person's death. At this time, the family will pay tribute to the deceased and erect a monument as a memorial to the deceased.

"That's right. The day when Mr. Lin went, it was my first year of graduation. It's been three years, so it's so fast." Jiang Hua sighed a little. He remembered that he was working three years ago and was at work. He received a call from his home saying that Grandpa Lin in the village had gone. He also asked for leave and came back. Although he was not a relative of his family, there were only more than 30 families in the village. But everyone is a harmonious and familiar neighbor and very close relationship.

"Yes, I don't know that old lady will leave that day." Grandma Li also sighed a little, after all, she is old, too

"Grandma Li, look at what you said, it will be no problem for you to live for decades in your spirit. It's too early to say this!" Li Qingyun also stepped forward as soon as possible.

"Haha, it's still a little girl who can make people happy. I also watched Xiaohua grow up. This monkey is about to marry a wife now. Brother Jiang and his sister-in-law should be happy underground." The old man also sighed a little. There are not many people in the older generation in the village. Sending one away will add a hint of melancholy to the old man's heart.

Grandma Li was quite brisk in sending off her steps, Jiang Hua wanted to go to her grandfather's house to see her. Li Qingyun had never seen the old man now, so she also looked at her parents and asked Xiaode Xiaomu to go home to watch the door. The two of them rode out of the village on horseback

Usually they ride horses in the village and have not been out yet. Li Qingyun is a little curious: "Can you get on the road by riding a horse? Wouldn't you be stopped by the traffic police?"

Jiang Hua laughed when he thought about it: "I really don't know this, but there are not so many traffic police in the mountains, but what is the charge? Do you want to get a ticket?"

The villagers were used to it during this period, but when they arrived at the mountain road, they attracted many eyes. Passing vehicles and farm tourists on the roadside, watching the two riding horses whizzing by, they couldn't help but become curious. It's hard to see horses in Guanzhong now, so how could they see the scene of riding horses? This suddenly appeared and attracted the attention.

It roared into Lijiagou all the way, which caused a lot of surprises. When I arrived at my grandfather's house, some adults and children from Lijiagou followed me to see the novelty.

When the two entered the house, they saw that Li Yutong was playing with two ferrets. Her mother Li Liqin was drying bedding in the yard and chatting with her grandfather. When she saw the two of them coming, she smiled and introduced them to everyone: "Why are you two here? Come, Qingyun, let me introduce you to you, this is Xiaohua's grandfather, dad, this is Xiaohua's girlfriend, I'm here to play at home these days."

After a few simple words, Li Yutong came up to find her sister-in-law to play with her. There was also a noise at the door. The three of them went out to see that it was two horses that attracted the children in the village and the adults nearby.

Li Yutong also saw two horses, holding the ferret, wide-eyed and shouted to Li Qingyun: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, is this your horse? Let me ride it, I haven't ridden it yet."

I showed Li Qingyun a message, saying that she would take this little devil. Maybe it was all because of the woman. Maybe it was because Li Yutong had a breakneck personality. The two were very close when they were in the relationship. When they went to play, they could still hear the little devil's shout: "This is my sister-in-law, and this horse is also from our family."

This is showing off. Children are also vanity, which is really not a small matter. They attract many envious eyes. Some children also shouted: "I want to ride a horse, I want to..."

When Jiang Hua saw this, he came out and shouted: "Boys come here, girls and Yutong ride in exchange."

As a result, Li Yutong shouted: "You are a big villain, I haven't had enough fun yet."

Alas, it's really tiring to spend time with the child. I can't take care of this and that. I've gone up and made trouble below. I can't live or die if I've had enough fun. The two horses were not tired. But the two adults were one with two big heads and two big ones. It took me two full hours to calm them down.

After chatting with a few adults, I went home and got on the stall. I was really tired. A group of little kids are really annoying and tired.

Seeing that his mother was preparing to cook, Li Qingyun went to help, Jiang Hua washed and ate it. The ones she planted at home were not very big and very good, but the taste was really slim.

These days, my parents are full of energy. Although they are still busy all day, watching the tickets put in their pockets is also a pleasure. My father used to work as a coolie, so how could he be as relaxed as he is now?

"Mom, where is Mingming, why didn't you see it?"

"Your uncle went to work in the county. Mingming went to the field with your aunt to shave peanuts while he was at home. Why did you think of it?" Li Liqin also asked casually.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, the village brigade, it's not three years the day after tomorrow. I'll tell you something." Jiang Hua told the matter.

"It's really, I've been a little busy lately, so I forgot it. So, your dad will finish his work here in the past two days. I've been out for a few days. It's time to go back." Li Liqin rolled the noodles

"How much corn field is there? Will it be harvested tomorrow?" Jiang Hua squatted beside the stove and burned water.

"It should be possible. I said I can finish it in two days. I don't know what it is." Li Liqin thought for a while, but she wasn't sure.

I had oil sprinkled noodles at noon, and the noodles thick with chopsticks were sprinkled with chopsticks and pepper noodles. When I poured hot oil, the aroma was so strong that I could make me feel saliva. Although it was not as good as the restaurant's seasonings, I added some tofu meat sauce and watery spinach. The red ones were white ones and green ones were all in color, aroma and flavor.

The rice was served on the table. Grandpa had already called his aunt, Li Yuming, and after another introduction, everyone brought bowls to eat in the yard. When half of the house was fine, all the noodles were all handed over, and only a few dishes would be cooked when the guests came from home.

Jiang Hua took the food box and took Li Yutong to deliver food to his father. The little devil was unable to sit still and shouted: "Let's run away, don't care about my brother, let him walk slowly."

After looking at Li Yuming beside him, he was sitting tensely on the saddle, Jiang Hua pressed the restless little devil in his arms: "What if your brother falls down?"

Li Yutong's big eyes blinked, and the idea came out: "But he is too slow. Otherwise, we tie him to the right place so that he won't fall out. The food for my uncle will be cold and it will be bad. We have to send it over quickly."

"You can do it." Even the reason was found. Jiang Hua looked at the little devil, the big devil, and said to Li Yuming with a smile: "Mingming, don't be nervous, it's even more likely to fall down after relaxing, let's go slowly."

But Li Yuming failed after trying to relax several times, because he couldn't help but become nervous again after the horse was shaken and shaken. The three of them could only continue to walk forward slowly, and from time to time they had to bear the poisonous tongue of their sister: You are so timid, you are so stupid, you are not as brave as I run...
