Chapter 11 Guilt rises from the bottom of my heart
Yang Lina didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Li Jingming was no longer around the bed.
This man is really mysterious.
With this thought in her mind, Yang Lina got up, put on her clothes, folded her quilt, and placed it next to another folded quilt with square edges and corners. In comparison, one was like a tofu block and the other was like a shapeless piece of mud.
Yang Lina took apart the quilt again, and after a lot of effort, she folded the quilt neatly and placed it next to Li Jingming.
She didn't eat before going to bed last night, and now her stomach was growling with hunger.
I quickly washed up and made myself a bowl of cornstarch. It hurt my throat a bit when I drank it, but it was better than being hungry.
After the meal, she cleaned the entire yard.
The pigs and chickens in the yard had probably been fed by Li Jingming. They were lying comfortably in the yard basking in the sun without any urge or desire to eat.
The March sun brings warmth,
Yang Lina rubbed the back of her head with one hand and planned to walk around the village based on her memory to see if there were any items or houses that could be used. Anyway, she planned to build a pig pen and a chicken pen.
This village is very big, with dozens of households visible. Most of the villagers live together. Li Jingming’s family originally lived in the east end of the village. However, the original owner made Li Jingming’s family run wild, and they were separated to the west of the village.
First, although the yard is a bit dilapidated, the house will be fine for ten or twenty years.
What the original owner probably didn't know was that it was Li Jingming who came up with the idea of dividing the family.
An hour later, Yang Lina walked around the entire village based on her memory. What surprised her was that the village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and fertile soil.
The wind rustled the leaves on both sides of the road. Looking from the front of her house, there was a flat land of yellow and green under the mountain. The little dot wearing a straw hat moved from time to time. Yang Lina then remembered
, Li Jingming planted rapeseed and wheat in August last year. This season is the season when rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, and it is also the season for weeding in the wheat field. He probably went to weed the wheat field early in the morning.
It was really inappropriate to think that Li Jingming was working very hard to weed while he was standing here leisurely enjoying the scenery.
Thinking of the promise I made last night, I suddenly felt guilty in my heart.
He slapped his forehead and walked towards the kitchen.
There was no clock or anything at home, and there was no way to tell the time. I looked at the sun, estimated the time in my mind, and then mixed the cornmeal.
While strolling around the village, I picked two handfuls of wild ash greens on the side of the road. I could make corn tortillas and have some wild ash greens for lunch at noon, so I could flatter Li Jingming.
At almost noon, Yang Lina divided the mixed dough into small round doughs, kneaded them and flattened them, brushed the pan with oil, fried them until golden brown on both sides, and then removed them from the pan.
When Li Jingming came back, Yang Lina was feeding the chickens with corn kernels in a basin. She grabbed the corn in her hand and threw a few kernels to the left and a few to the right, causing the chickens to flutter around for food. Yang Lina was amused.
Li Jingming was giggling, and the laughter was as sweet as a bell. For a moment, Li Jingming stood at the door in trance.
This was the first time she smiled so happily.
It turns out that her voice can be so beautiful.
Li Jingming was a little unbelievable. He could not accept this man's sudden change. When his mind was in a mess, he heard Yang Lina's cordial and friendly greetings.
"Are you back? Wash your hands and eat quickly. You woke up so early and you didn't even know to call me, causing me to oversleep."
Yang Lina was talking to herself, and sprinkled the corn kernels in the basin into the yard. Only then did the flapping chickens stop and quickly peck around the corn kernels.
