Chapter 11 The Return of Li Mingren

Li Mingren came back on this sunny afternoon.This morning, after the Li family had breakfast, Zhao Yunlan saw that the sun was fine, so she planned to take out the quilt to dry in the sun. By the way, she also helped the Wang family to take out the quilt in their house. The younger brothers and sisters looked at Zhao Yunlan To dry the quilts, the quilts were also taken out to dry together, which caused all the desks and stools of the Li family to be placed in the yard, and rows of quilts were next to each other in the yard.Even the small chair that Xiaobao sat on was not spared.

The brothers and sisters of the Li family followed the old man to weed the field. It was spring, and the grass appeared in the field.

Only Zhao Yunlan, Xiaobao and Wang are left in the family.It may be that Zhao Yunlan's food has been prepared well these few days, and Mrs. Wang can also eat more food every day, her complexion looks much better, and she has the energy to cope with her sewing.

Zhao Yunlan cleaned up the house at home, fed the chickens, took out the firewood in the house to dry, and planned to go up the mountain to find something to eat.

Xiaobao saw that Zhao Yunlan was about to go out, and also made a fuss about going out. It has been raining for the past few days, Zhao Yunlan didn't let Xiaobao go out, and Xiaobao also stayed at home obediently. I guess Xiaobao can't stay here anymore , Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to take Xiaobao with her.

"Mother, I'll take Xiaobao up the mountain to have a look. The work at home will be put aside first. Mother, you should have a good rest. I'll do it later when I come back."

Wang: "Take Xiaobao and be careful. Don't go into the mountains, just walk around outside. It's spring and the beasts are probably starting to move."

Zhao Yunlan was also a little worried when she heard it, but she must still go to the mountain, as long as she doesn't go inside by herself.

There are only two hunters in Lijia Village. So far, they haven't encountered any ferocious beasts here, and they can only occasionally kill a wild boar.On the contrary, there are many hunters in my natal family, and they can often hunt wild boars. It is said that they have also hunted tigers before.

Zhao Yunlan withdrew her thoughts, "Understood, mother, I won't go inside."

Zhao Yunlan went to get the big pannier. The Li family had three panniers, and the two smaller ones were carried into the field.

These baskets were all made by old man Li. Old man Li's craft of weaving baskets was taught by Mr. Li at that time. Mr. Li had learned everything in order to support his family. Later, seeing that his son was really incompetent, he used this skill Teach him, at least he has a skill, it really seems to have turned on the switch of old man Li, but he has some talents in this area.

The made-up panniers are even better than Mr. Li's, and the villagers will spend money to make custom-made panniers for Mr. Li when they see them.Maybe the quality is too good. The backpacks bought by villagers in the village can be used for several years.Old man Li's back basket business also failed to make a stable living.I just make up a few to try my luck in the town every few months.

Zhao Yunlan saw that the pannier was quite big, so she picked up Xiaobao and put it in the pannier, picked it up and went out.

Xiaobao had never been carried in a pannier before, and he was so excited when he went in, he hugged Zhao Yunlan's neck and screamed.After walking a certain distance, Xiaobao slowly relaxed.

On the way, I met uncles, grandparents, and people who politely shouted all the way under the leadership of Zhao Yunlan.The children in the village looked at Xiaobao in the basket with envy.

Some old women also envied the Li family for finding a good daughter-in-law, seeing that Zhao Yunlan is really a capable person, even though her husband is not at home all year round, she is wholeheartedly good to the old Li family and the children.

Zhao Yunlan walked to the back mountain and was sweating because of carrying Xiaobao on her back. Zhao Yunlan found a small slope and leaned on Xiaobao to put Xiaobao down.The mother and son walked together and watched. There were no winter bamboo shoots to dig these days, so I had to check if there were any fungus. It might be because I was lucky today, and I saw wild fungus after walking for a long time. Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao Picked in the past, almost picked, Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao to go to another place to have a look, looked down here and found that there were large and small pits, Zhao Yunlan remembered Wang's words, feared that wild animals came out to move around, In the end, I decided to bypass this side and go down the mountain.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Yunlan had to lament that she was lucky today, and unexpectedly encountered a hairless pheasant. To be on the safe side, Zhao Yunlan did not approach, and found a long wooden stick to hold the chicken to her feet before picking it up. .When I picked it up, I felt the pheasant's body was still a little soft. Zhao Yunlan guessed that the pheasant must have died not long ago.Except for some hair loss, there are no other wounds. Thinking about the fist-sized pit over there before, it is possible that this pheasant encountered a big beast, was frightened, and passed out.

Zhao Yunlan was in a great mood, but she quickly went down the mountain with Xiaobao in her arms.

Zhao Yunlan still cautiously went to the home of Lao Zhang Orion in Lijia Village first. Lao Zhang Orion escaped from the war before. Now he is old and has some land at home. Will go hunting, is Zhang hunter in the village now.

"Is Aunt Zhang at home?" Zhao Yunlan shouted from the outside room, and Aunt Zhang came out, this is Zhang Orion's wife.

Lao Zhang Orion's second daughter-in-law, "It's Yunlan! Come in, come in, ouch, Xiaobao is here too."

Aunt Zhang greeted Zhao Yunlan, mother and son, and brought out the mung bean cake left by the family during the Chinese New Year for Xiaobao to eat.

Zhao Yunlan "Thank you, Auntie." Xiaobao also said "Thank you, Auntie." Aunt Zhang laughed. Xiaobao had never been to the mountain before, so he hadn't seen Zhang Orion's family. He was still young at the moment. I don't know the relationship between these neighbors, so I can only learn from Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan taught by the side, "Xiaobao should be called Grandma Zhang." Xiaobao hid behind Zhao Yunlan's butt in embarrassment.Here, Aunt Zhang laughed and asked, "Is there something wrong with Yunlan?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, auntie, I want to ask Uncle Zhang to help me check if this chicken has been poisoned. I just went to the back mountain to pick vegetables, and I picked up the chicken."

Aunt Zhang looked at the fungus in the basket, "Did Yunlan find so many fungus?"

"Auntie, um, the fungus came out early, I was really greedy, so I picked it."

"Two days ago, your uncle was still talking about going to the mountain to see if there are any fungus?" He called Zhang Orion, and Zhang Orion came over and picked up the chicken to have a look, "Well, I think your chicken is scared to death like this Yes. In this Lijia Village, our old Zhang’s family and Li Erzhu’s family over there hunted and hunted pheasants in the mountains. It is impossible for our two families to drug the chickens. This is a set rule. You can take it home with confidence. According to what you said these days It is estimated that there are wild boars coming out to move around, I have discussed with Li Erzhu's family to go to the mountain to have a look in the past two days."

Zhao Yunlan got the right words, grabbed a large handful of fungus and put them on the table, and planned to go home, "Thank you, aunt and uncle, I will come to sit at home some other day, and Yunlan will not bother you today. This little fungus is for uncle and aunt. Have a taste."

Aunt Zhang sent Yunlan out, while at Li's house, Li Mingren just entered the house and saw a pile of quilts drying in the yard.Li Mingren went into the house to see his mother, only Mrs. Wang was at home.

"Da Lang, your father and the others have gone to the field, and Lan Niang has gone up the mountain with Xiaobao, and she will probably be back soon, so go and see your father and the others in the field!"

Li Mingren: "Mom, how is your health recently? I have to study for a while, so I can't go to the field."

Mrs. Wang said, "Health is better during this time. If you don't go, don't go. Why don't you pick up Lan Niang's mother and son? You didn't come back to see if you hurt your head before."

Li Mingren continued to evade: "Mom, I can't help it. Isn't the exam coming soon? The time is too tight, and they are coming back soon. Mother, you rest, I will go back to my room to study."

Watching her son go out, Wang sighed, feeling more guilty towards Zhao Yunlan.
