Embracing the ancient times with roses

After the meal, the whole family started to work. Lixiu helped Qin Mengshi paste the windows, Qin Hongchang started to burn the kang, and Da Zhuang took the three boys up the mountain to chop some firewood and bring them home. It's cold, and now there are more people. I'm afraid that the firewood will not be enough to burn, so I want to prepare more. In addition, I will check if there is any prey in my trap. If there is prey, I will bring it back together.

Li Xiu ignored them, and worked with Qin Mengshi for a while, and soon the windows were glued together, and the two went to the backyard to feed the pigs. Things were fed.

Now the family is no longer just the living animals at the beginning. Two days ago, Da Zhuang bought more than ten pigs from several households in the village who gave birth to piglets, and they bought sows specially, and they planned to wait until they were old. It will be kept as the general pig in the future, and now it is locked in the pigsty that was repaired some time ago.

There are more than 20 pheasants, more ducks, more than 30 domestic ducks and wild ducks, and more than [-] domestic chickens, and they can lay a few eggs every day.

In the past two days since I left Xiu, I told Da Zhuang that I wanted to raise two dogs for the care of the house, and Da Zhuang also agreed, and now I have greeted Li Da's family, saying that I will give them to the dog after a few days. If you report it, it can be said that Da Zhuang's family has flourished in humans and animals.

Two days ago, Lixiu also discussed with Da Zhuang that this year's grain would not be sold and would be kept as fodder, or else the family would have nothing to feed in winter. Acres of land, he is also going to ask for food without money, it is better to prepare more food, Li Xiu nodded and said yes, there are many things these days.When Lixiu was about to say that it was all right, he let the pigs out at the foot of the mountain and looked for food by themselves. Of course, there was no one at the time. Da Zhuang disagreed. Now that there are people at home, this problem has been temporarily solved. .

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Li Xiu said to the Qin family: "You are tired too, take a rest first, if you have any work, we will talk about it tomorrow, and you should familiarize yourself with the situation here first, and don't go out for the time being if you have nothing to do. , In case you get lost at that time, there are wild animals on the mountain, but they rarely enter the village, but winter is coming, I am afraid that there will be less food on the mountain, and those animals are going down the mountain, so be careful."

Qin Hongchang stood in the yard and looked at the mountains in the distance, thought for a while and said: "Master, this mountain is really big, there must be a lot of wild things on the mountain, right? When you are free, let my family, Qin Ming and Qin Jun, go up the mountain Buy some prey to sell, their arrow skills are quite accurate, and we have relied on the two of them to hunt to get here."

Li Xiu's eyes lit up, "Really, that's a good relationship, so that the family can have meat to eat in winter, and it can also add some nutrition to people, which is also very good."

Qin Hongchang nodded and said: "Yes, these two boys have been unwilling to study since they were young, so they are willing to do these things. My third kid, Qin He, follows me. He likes to settle accounts and makes calculations when he has nothing to do."

Li Xiu nodded, it seems that they really bought the right one for such a family, maybe they will use it someday? "Brother Qin, what did you do in the shop where you stayed?"

When Qin Hongchang heard this, he sighed and said: "It is the owner of the restaurant. Because of the disaster, the old master of the family closed down, closed the shop and went to his son in the capital to take care of him. We all went back home. , there is no way to come out to escape famine, hey, it’s true that God doesn’t pity us little people!”

Lixiu was especially able to understand their helplessness. Fortunately, he hadn't traveled that far, otherwise what would have happened!

When Da Zhuang and the others came back in the afternoon, just in time for Jiang Feng and his wife to visit, Li Xiu left them at home for dinner, and the couple got used to it, and came to Li Xiu from time to time to improve their meals.

As soon as Li Da saw Da Zhuang and the others coming back, he also came out to help unload the truck. Da Zhuang and Qin's elder brother got a truck full of dead wood stumbles. They were so tired that they made the donkey gasp. Wash up and sit down to eat.

The five members of Qin Hongchang's family refused to eat at the same table with them, but Lixiu asked them to go back to their own room to eat. They moved a kang table that was idle at home, and there were a few other dishes. A pot of corn dregs porridge and half a pot of fat cakes.

After they went back to their room for dinner, Li Xiu and his wife, Jiang Feng and Li Da also sat down, and everyone happily ate. Li Da's favorite food was brought by the couple. The spicy tofu made by Lixiu, he thinks the taste is really amazing.

Everyone ate very happily, and Li Xiu heard Li Da talking with Da Zhuang during the meal, which made him want to gossip. Li Da said: "Hey, Da Zhuang, do you know? Did the rich man fight today?"

Da Zhuang shook his head and said, "I don't know? When did it happen?"

"It just happened this morning. I guess you won't be at home at that time, so I don't know." Li Da said after taking a sip of his wine.

"What's going on?" Da Zhuang raised his head and said.

Jiang Feng sighed, "Hey, isn't it? Didn't his family marry a concubine for a while? Wouldn't he be pregnant now? Good guy, the one in his family will not let him live. If the concubine had to abort the child, she would say that the child is not Zhang Laocai's, but a bastard born to that brother and others."

Li Xiu also began to gossip: "How can the head of his family be sure that the man in his belly is a wild species?"

Jiang Feng took a bite and said: "Hey, isn't it? Zhang Laocai and his husband Ma Shi have been married for so many years and have not had children. Everyone said that Ma Shi can't have children, so Zhang Laocai married another concubine , or Ma's distant cousin, at the beginning Ma refused to accept a concubine, saying that the concubine was not a good one, but Zhang Laocai refused to listen and forced her to marry him in.

Well this time, I heard that she had a child without getting married, and Mrs. Ma had no choice but to agree. It was also to save Zhang Laocai, but who would have thought that the father of the child came to the door early this morning, talking about the concubine alive and well. The child in his stomach is not Zhang Laocai, but his. This guy is good, and he is playing a round table, just like singing a big show. "

Mrs. Ma went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger, saying that they didn't care about the family affairs, and let them go on their own. Zhang Laocai didn't have time to take care of Mrs. Ma, so he let Mrs. Ma go. This matter is not over yet, the child's parents Father refused to leave, and stood guard at the door of their house. Zhang Laocai didn't dare to beat people to death, because he was afraid of getting into a lawsuit, and he didn't know what to do about it. "After speaking, he shook his head.

Li Xiu curled his lips and said, "What's so difficult about this? Just let that little concubine give birth to the child. It's fine to have a blood test. If it doesn't work, please ask the doctor to come over and show Zhang Laocai. It’s strange to say whether it’s possible to have a baby, it’s not Zhang Laocai who can’t do it himself, and the Ma family has no children, right? Then the concubine is not trying to use the child to get to the position?” (So Lixiu, just start Brainstorming, who told him that he was a dead house in his previous life, and he just read some *novels, and stupid dramas and so on, so he has been poisoned, and he has become 'Conan' directly.)

When he finished speaking, he saw the three big people on the table looking at him, and he blushed: "I'm sorry, I'm just talking nonsense, you can't go out and talk nonsense, it's okay if I hit the mark, if you say No way, that Lao Cai is looking for me desperately, after all, it’s about the dignity of a man, don’t you think so?”

As soon as Jiang Feng heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing directly. Fortunately, there was no food in his mouth. Otherwise, Li Da and Da Zhuang glanced at each other, and no one said anything. They simply continued to lower their heads and eat. For their own, they are still quite confident about the dignity of a man. When they are big and strong, they sneak a look at the belly downstairs, and say in their hearts that it seems that they have to work harder, that's all. Why hasn't his wife's stomach moved for a long time?

Li Xiu didn't know his comrade Da Zhuang, because his few words had already started to miss his stomach. If he knew what he was saying, he wouldn't say that, so Da Zhuang was on his body that night. I just tossed and tossed for half the night, and finally woke up the classmate Xiaobao who was sleeping soundly, and then gave up. I didn't bother to care about him, so I just put my arms around Xiaobao and slept all night. No change.

Lixiu didn't get up early the next morning as usual, and Qin Mengshi made the breakfast. Finally, Da Zhuang ordered the kitchen to be moved to the outside of the warehouse. Otherwise, the couple would wake up late, and Qin Mengshi would have to Waiting outside, the whole family is still waiting to eat.

While eating breakfast, Da Zhuang went into the Westinghouse, and seeing that Li Xiu hadn't woken up, he said there, "Should we have it now?" Last night he just stayed in Li Xiu's body all night in a daze , didn't come out until early in the morning, if it wasn't for taking care of Li Xiu's body, fearing that he wouldn't be able to bear it, maybe he wouldn't have let him go in the morning.

When Li Xiu woke up, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, he opened his eyes and saw Tong Xiaobao was there looking at him with good eyes, he stretched out his hand to stroke his son's hair.

Tong Xiaobao smiled and said: "Ah, you can sleep too well, we have all eaten, and the uncles of the Qin family and Father have gone up the mountain to collect firewood."

Li Xiu was also embarrassed, so he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, and said while putting on his clothes, "Then your father has gone too?"

Tong Xiaobao put down the building block in his hand and said: "Father said that there may be prey on the mountain, but I forgot to take it back yesterday, so I went today."

Li Xiu nodded, folded the quilt and put it on the kang box, and put on his shoes on the ground. Tong Xiaobao also went down to the ground. At the beginning, Li Xiu was afraid that he would fall, so he made a small wooden box for him at the place where the top of the kang was next to the wall. Now it's easy for the child to get up and down, and Tong Xiaobao followed closely without leaving him.

Li Xiu looked at the child with a smile. After all, the child is too young, only a few years old. He doesn't leave the house when he is free. He still inherits the habit in modern times. If he is dead at home, he will be so strong when he is not at home. He will dress the child well. He took off his clothes and carried them out of the house. As soon as he came out of the house, he saw Qin Mengshi and Qin Hongchang sitting on a stool rubbing corn with their hands in the yard.

As soon as Qin Mengshi saw Li Xiu came out, she said: "Master, you are awake, I will bring you a meal."

Li Xiu blushed, like him, it is common in modern times, but I am afraid that he is the only one who got up so late here, so he pretended to say: "Okay, but we are all a family, don't call me Master, I'm not used to it, so just call me by my name."

Qin Mengshi shook her head and said: "This is the rule, the master should go wash up first, the dishes the master ordered are all hot in the pot, and I will bring them out for you."

Li Xiu didn't argue with him too much, just nodded and said: "Okay, by the way, are all the living things in the house fed?"

Qin Hongchang nodded and said: "When I go back to my master, everything is done. I even watered the vegetables grown in the house in the east courtyard. You don't have to worry about it. Let's eat first."

Li Xiu nodded and gritted his teeth in his heart. These people really struggled to speak, and he really couldn't adapt to a modern person!

After Lixiu washed up, he sat on the table in the main room to eat, and fed Xiaobao's children's shoes from time to time. The happy child had teeth and eyes, and Lixiu was also happy. He felt that someone was scouting him for cooking and washing. It's pretty good, but his clothes are washed by Da Zhuang, and he is not used to being washed by others. When the Qin family came, some modern things in the house were not on the surface, and they didn't know that there were such things in the house. Li Xiu had put away those toiletries a long time ago.

It should be lunch after Lixiu finished eating, so Qin Mengshi cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Now he doesn't need to care about these things, and he is happy to be free. When he is free, he picks up the unfinished knitting for Tong Xiaobao The scarf continued to be knitted, and Xiaobao Children's Shoes knew that it was for him, so he didn't make a fuss, just playing honestly.

Near noon, Da Zhuang came back with the donkey cart and the three brothers from the Qin family. When Li Xiu saw them coming back, he put down his things and went out of the house, trying to help unload the cart, but he was stunned when he got to the cart. ok, what's going on?What a big boar!It seems to be alive, but the leg is injured, and there is blood in some places.

Seeing Li Xiu dumbfounded, Da Zhuang smiled, "What are you looking at, your eyes are straight."

Li Xiu closed his mouth, "Brother Zhuang, this pig must weigh more than 200 catties, how did you get it back? Our donkey didn't go on strike, so it's lucky."

The few people couldn't hold back their joy when they heard it, and told the donkey to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and turned his head to one side with a grin, expressing that you have a conscience and know how to feel sorry for the donkey. . . . .

Da Zhuang said with a smile: "When we were going up the mountain, we happened to meet this beast coming down the mountain to look for food, and we led him to the trap we dug, and as a result, this careless creature fell into the pit all at once. Here, the good guy fell into a blind all of a sudden, so we picked up a cheap one, tied it up before it woke up, got it back, hurry up, put it in the pigsty first, and keep it in the pigsty. We are killing and eating, you can say no."

Li Xiu also thought it was a good idea: "Then hurry up, or it will wake up and bite us soon, give us a hand, and put it in the strongest pigsty."

Da Zhuang had no objection to such a proposal, he knew that Li Xiu was afraid that the pigsty would not be strong, and it would be over if he couldn't keep it, so the big guys helped get the wild boar into the pigsty, and Li Xiu muttered there: "You It can be regarded as the most awesome wild boar, and it has to be carried into the pigsty." As soon as he said this, everyone present laughed, even Qin Meng couldn't hold back, although they didn't know that the bull was What do you mean, I guess it means very powerful!

After finishing the wild boar in a hurry, Da Zhuang hurriedly reinforced the door of the pigsty with stones and mud, in case the pig woke up and opened the door and ran away, in case someone was hurt It’s not good, when everything is busy, it’s already noon, everyone washes their hands and starts to prepare for lunch.

Li Xiu didn't eat. He ate just past ten o'clock. He wasn't hungry yet, so he fed Xiaobao's children's shoes. After everyone finished eating, Li Xiu helped clean up the dishes. Da Zhuang and the others were tired , I went to rest first, they had to go up the mountain in the afternoon, and they had to get back the firewood they had collected in the morning.

In order not to be idle, Lixiu is also ready. He will follow him into the mountains to help, and pick up some mountain products and wild fruits by the way. The persimmons made at home for a while, Xiaobao likes to eat them very much. He knows that they are eaten in winter here. Not many, I just wanted to prepare some more to bring back and keep as snacks or something.

Da Zhuang agreed with his idea, and he didn’t go to the mountain anyway, it’s not far from the foot of the mountain, the wild chestnuts Lixiu picked up last time were still quite a lot, he didn’t expect the taste of Lixiu’s to be really good , this time help him pick some more.

In the afternoon, several people from Lixiu drove to the mountain. Tong Xiaobao stayed at home and took care of Qin Meng's house. This time Qin Hongchang also came with him. He said that he could also help with some work within his ability.Da Zhuang is not too polite, since he wants to follow, just follow, he doesn't want to spend money on a free meal, but the three brothers of the Qin family are really capable, comparable to him, this time he can rest assured Yes, I have worked with them for the past two days, and I have already understood almost everything, so I can let them go in the future. . . . . .
