Baiyunxi first poured a bowl of water for Mr. Li, then sat next to him and rested for a while. He looked at several baskets of chestnut balls, thought about it, and then cut a few handfuls of grass to cover the burr balls.
Returning home from Dongshanshan, she had to pass through the village. In order to avoid some trouble, it was better to cover it up. Since the people in the village didn't know that this food was edible, she naturally stayed close to her own home first.
Call her ruthless or selfish, but in short she has no idea of saving the common people.
Whenever she finds something to eat, she has to stay close to her own family first. Their family's food and clothing haven't been solved yet, so don't talk to her about justice and love.
Besides, so far, the impression given to him by these people in the village was not very good. For those people who were always gossiping behind her back and adding insult to injury, it was more practical for her to live her own life behind closed doors.
If God can't help her even if he comes, the family that needs help most now is their family.
Xiaowu looked at his mother's movements, his eyes flashed, and he suggested softly.
"When we come to open up wasteland tomorrow, we can push the cart and bring a few cloth bags. It should be very convenient to carry these spiked balls."
Listening to Xiao Wu's suggestion, Bai Yunxi's eyes lit up, "You can have this."
The cart can be surrounded by a circle of cattails, with thorn balls placed in the middle, and a few cloth bags stacked on top. In less than two days, all the chestnuts from those trees can be transported home.
With a plan in mind, Baiyunxi was not in a hurry and started to open up wasteland with his sons until dusk when they packed up their tools and went home together.
When passing by the village, as expected, I was asked what was in the basket and why was it so tightly covered?
Baiyunxi used firewood to cover them up, but there were always people who raised questions and wanted to double up, but Baiyunxi stopped them with a cold look.
"Don't say that the contents of our baskets are just soft grass that can ignite the fire. Even if there is meat in them, why do you have any reason to dig them? Do you want me to go to your house and dig through your grain jars?"
Looking at Bai Yunxi's cold face, the woman retracted her hand in a sullen voice. When her mother-in-law walked over, she curled her lips, poured out the water in the basin, and went home angrily.
Before I could make any progress, I was stopped by an old lady again, "Hey, are these fungus fungus? There are so many, let grandma pick a few and take them home to cook."
Li Shi ducked sideways and imitated Bai Yunxi's posture, "Grandma Hua, I heard that the vegetables in your yard are growing well. Please let me pick a few and take them home for cooking. My family is short of vegetables."
"
"You little daughter-in-law, how did you learn bad habits? Your fungus was picked up from the forest, and it doesn't take much trouble. It's not as troublesome as us growing vegetables. We water and fertilize every day, and it's not easy to grow up. You can take it away from me."
What do we eat?”
"Although I didn't grow the fungus, I carried it back. I spent a lot of effort to carry this piece of wood back."
Mrs. Hua looked at Bai Yunxi and pursed her lips in joy. She snorted and went back on crutches.
Bai Yunxi looked at Mr. Li's praising eyes, smiled and nodded,
"You're doing a great job, but you have to learn to refuse any request that makes you uncomfortable. It may be difficult at first, but when you take the first step and experience the comfort of rejection, you will find that in fact, rejection
A person's unreasonable demands are also a kind of growth for himself."
Listening to her mother's encouragement, Li's eyes burned, "Mom, I just discovered the feeling you mentioned. Compared with being forced to do something, after rejecting it, I feel relaxed and a little proud."
