While Guan Xuefeng and Luo Han were walking and chatting, Guan Xuelian was also in the kitchen washing dishes with her mother and asking questions.
Guan Xuelian had a rather puzzled look on her face: "Mom, what's wrong with my dad? Luo Han followed me all the way here excitedly, but he did something like this. Does he have a problem with Luo Han?"
"Alas!" Guan's mother sighed deeply and looked at her daughter with a helpless look: "Don't blame your dad for this, he is doing it for your own good. Your second uncle called and told your dad
I mentioned that Rohan and you rented the same house. Your dad had a fierce argument with him over this! Although Rohan got ginseng in time when we needed it most, it was of great help to your dad and me.
Kindness, but we can’t sell you easily just for this little kindness?”
"Mom! What are you talking about? What can't be sold?" Guan Xuelian's face turned red for a rare moment, and then she became a little dissatisfied: "He and I just rented the same house, not living in the same room. And he has never been there.
I have lived in the house and rented it just to make money."
"But you two are alone in the same room now! Don't forget that you also have a small problem of not being able to drink! What if he secretly pours alcohol into your food? You are a girl, so
You can’t be careless.”
"Mom!" Guan Xuelian yelled again. Just thinking about the situation when she first met Luo Han, this cry made her feel guilty: "What did you say? I'm so stupid! How can I tell the difference between water and wine?
Not coming out? Besides, my problem is just that I like to be close to people. If I encounter any danger, I will still know how to control it. I am a red belt. Even if he wants to force himself, I will not let him succeed.
!”
"Humph, if you say that now, it means that you haven't been dating him long enough and your feelings for him are not deep enough. When you love him so much that your heart aches and you are willing to give everything for him, as long as he is a little bit
"Coax, you definitely can't refuse." Guan's mother didn't believe it. Everyone has their youth, and the biggest characteristic of young people is impulsiveness, and the most troublesome thing is impulsiveness.
"Besides, people who grow up in orphanages are either extremely selfish, with only money in their eyes and themselves in their hearts; or they are timid and not confident in anything. You are such an outstanding girl.
, his academic qualifications are not as good as yours, his position is not as good as yours, and his salary income is not as good as yours. If he feels inferior in front of you and is afraid of losing you, he will want to make rice with you first, resulting in a done deal.
What’s the truth? Although your father and I are not as knowledgeable as you, at least our old eyes can tell the difference between good and bad people!"
Guan Xuelian was speechless: "So you are eager to see him?"
"Of course, no matter what you say, it's just meat that fell out of my belly. I can't just watch you get deceived!"
"Then you should feel relieved now that you see someone?"
"Well, it's hard to say. How long have we known each other? Why do we need to get to know each other head-on first? Of course, judging from his appearance alone, his temperament is quite grand, calm, and he is quite generous. His appearance is not bad, although he is tall.
A little shorter, but it matches you well. However, we have to look at the details. Did he buy the car at once or with a loan?" Although Guan's mother lives in the countryside, she also heard from her sister who lives in Changle.
I have seen the difference between buying a house with a full amount and a mortgage in the city, and I know that this represents different economic strength.
"It was a one-time purchase," Guan Xuelian knew what her mother was going to ask next, so she simply answered: "But he only paid the down payment for his house and is still repaying the loan."
"How big is the area?"
"Well, he didn't say, and I didn't ask."
"Look at you, you are such a shrewd person, how can you not ask clearly about such an important matter? Is it a single room? Or two bedrooms and one living room, or a larger three bedrooms and two living rooms? It's not like you don't know
, houses of different sizes represent different economic strengths!”
"Mom! He can give tens of thousands of yuan of wild ginseng to others casually, which already shows his financial strength! I'm not interested in his house! Forget it, I won't tell you, I'm going to bed
!”
"You girl...!"
The Love Orphanage is in the suburbs, with a small hill behind it, but compared to the mountains behind Yutian Village, it can only be said to be insignificant. Liuzhuang is an old mountaineer with more than ten years of experience. He is the most familiar with the road and holds the hand in one hand.
Bamboo poles, waving a bright and sharp machete in one hand, walked in the front without hesitation. Guan Xuefeng and Luo Han each carried two strong wicker baskets in the middle.
Entering the path, I looked around with alert eyes from time to time.
"Uncle, I want to collect some Sea Breeze Vine and Milla Fructus. Brother Luo wants to see the wild tea trees here. Do you think this route can...hehe..." Guan Xuefeng made the request to Liuzhuang with a playful smile.
"Okay, I'll just take a few more detours then." Liuzhuang obviously liked Guan Xuefeng's nephew, and he agreed upon hearing it.
Luo Han asked Guan Xuefeng in a low voice in confusion: "What are the Sea Breeze Vine and Millaplasia Spatholobus you mentioned used for?"
"Oh, Sea Breeze Vine can be used on meridians, harmonizes blood vessels, widens the middle and regulates qi, and dispels rheumatism. Chicken Spatholobus is the stem of the flower bean, which can activate blood circulation, stimulate menstruation and activate meridians. These two medicinal materials are earth recipes left by the older generation.
Adding cinnamon twigs, 9 grams each, decoction in water can treat rheumatoid arthritis. My dad has cold legs and often uses it." Guan Xuefeng didn't hide his secrets either.
Luo Han immediately thought that the dean's grandma also seemed to have some symptoms of rheumatism, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I will also pick up more and give some to the dean's grandma to try."
"OK!"
After walking for about 10 minutes, all kinds of shrubs and weeds in the forest began to grow slowly, and most of them were nearly human height. The path under our feet was no longer as obvious as before, and the surroundings were surrounded by a quiet mixture of trees.
The smell of nature is slightly fishy and earthy. It can't be said to be fragrant, but it is quite refreshing.
It was quiet in the forest, and the shade of the tall trees blocked most of the scorching sunshine, but from time to time you could hear the chirping of various cheerful birds. Sometimes Luohan could even see a few dexterous wild tits flying quickly.
It passed over the head and landed on a nearby treetop. He looked at the group of people curiously and then, after chirping, he spread out his colorful wings and flew into the distance.
From time to time, you can see some blooming flowers in the green grass, such as the snake-eye chrysanthemum with a yellow crown and a red heart, the red and purplish purple, the white and light purple crape myrtle... Each of them competes with each other to add beauty to this monotonous green journey.
It adds a little color and cheer.
If you don't have to worry about poisonous insects and snakes, this kind of forest patrol is actually quite interesting.
Along the way, various fungi were often seen in the grass. Luo Han felt itchy, but he was afraid of wasting everyone's time and couldn't stop to pick them directly. He had to secretly note the direction and wait until he returned.
It's just that after walking for so long, except for small birds and the occasional rabbit, Luo Han couldn't help but wonder: "Are there no bears, wolves, forest frogs or other animals here?"
Guan Xuefeng smiled: "There are only bears and pangolins, but bears are deep in the mountains and are rarely seen. We have just entered the mountains now and can't see them. Pangolins are nocturnal animals and will not come out during the day. As for wolves and forest frogs, those are
There are no animals from the north here."
Only then did Luo Han suddenly realize.
Nearly half an hour later, Guan Xuefeng suddenly cheered and raised his hand to point in a certain direction: "Uncle, I saw it, I saw it, there are a lot of sea breeze vines there!"
Luo Han became energetic and quickly took out the sickle from the wicker basket behind his back.
This is a thin vine with oblong green leaves. The stem is flat and cylindrical, slightly curved, of varying lengths, with a diameter of 0.3 cm to 2 cm. The surface is grey-brown, rough, with longitudinal prismatic texture and obvious nodes.
, the length of the internodes ranges from 3 to 12 cm, it is very light and easy to break.
There was quite a lot of grass in this patch of grass. Guan Xuefeng followed the principle of herb collectors in the mountains and only took the cane parts on the ground. But Luo Han thought about it and carefully dug out one plant with its roots in the mud. Fortunately, he only needed one.
Zhu, Liuzhuang looked at him deeply and did not stop him.
With the harvest, Luo Han's interest greatly increased, and he helped Guan Xuefeng cut a dozen plants in a row and put them into the wicker basket behind him, which made Guan Xuefeng feel grateful.
The next step is to look for the flower bean. The best way to identify this plant is its fruit. However, it is now in the flowering stage and has no fruits yet. It can only be identified by the leaf surface and flower shape. The flower bean only grows in dense forests.
There is still a long way to go in the valley.
Luo Han secretly estimated that the Sea Wind Vine was not difficult at all, and Guan's father would probably test himself on the Dense Flower Bean.
After Guan Xuefeng cut off nearly half of the sea breeze vine, Liuzhuang's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Okay, now we have to go to the snake breeding area. There is a small ravine near one of them.
I saw flower beans there last time."
Guan Xuefeng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will listen to my uncle!"
Rohan had no objection even more.
Having received strict snake-catching training since he was a child, Liuzhuang still has a certain understanding of the living habits of local venomous snakes. Now approaching the breeding area of venomous snakes, his steps have become more cautious, and his eyes are even brighter than when Luo Han first saw him.
The eyes are even sharper at times, not like the eyes of a human being, but like a bird of prey spinning in mid-air, ready to pounce.
Guan Xuefeng quietly poked Luo Han and started gossiping in a low voice: "Don't think that my uncle is thinner than my father, but he is actually very powerful. Back then, my aunt was a well-known flower in the nearby village. My grandfather and uncle's father were both at the same time.
I proposed marriage to my grandpa, but because my dad lost to my uncle in the snake-catching competition, my grandpa married my aunt to my uncle and my mom to my dad."
Luo Han couldn't hold back his laughter: "Could it be that your mother is not as beautiful as your aunt?"
Guan Xuefeng took it for granted: "I have seen photos of the two of them when they were young. My aunt is really more beautiful. So," he glanced at Liu Lintao behind him who had been silent and seemed transparent: "Cousin Liu is also more handsome than me now.
.Fortunately, he doesn't like to talk, and the beauties in the village are still willing to get closer to me."
