Chapter 24
"Little Swallow wears floral clothes and comes here every spring..." Li Yan carried a bucket to water the newly planted pepper saplings.

Under the guidance of Zou Chengmin, Li Yan spent 2000 yuan to drill a well at Pojiao after receiving the poverty relief fund last year, 4000 yuan to build three mud houses, and 2000 yuan to build a simple chicken shed and toilet.

"Swallow, come back for dinner." Li Lanfen came out of the kitchen and shouted loudly towards the slope.

Li Yan replied, poured the water in the bucket, and went down the slope.

My father was not happy when he learned that she insisted on planting peppercorns. He just learned that she had the idea of ​​spending a large part of the poverty alleviation funds to build a house, so he objected. follow her.

Li Yan went back to the door of the house in Pojiao, put down the barrel, took out the notebook and started writing.

"Write after eating, don't let it get cold." Li Lanfen urged her to come over for dinner.

Li Yan put down the notebook, picked up the noodles and ate them. While eating, she looked at another small intersection, but her father still didn't appear, so she was a little worried.

"Mom, at this time, Dad is already sitting at the dinner table, so don't let anything happen?"

There are still four pigs in the house, and Li Yan wants to plant a pepper tree, so she doesn't care about it. The legs and feet in the house are not as sharp as before, so Li Xiangming can only go up the mountain to find pigs.

"It's okay, it's okay, your father is very shrewd, he must have found almost all the wild vegetables nearby, and it will take more time to come back after going into the mountains." Li Lanfen comforted her daughter, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Li Yan's brows were furrowed. It's spring, and it's the season for all things to grow. Now there are few households in the village looking for pig vegetables. The wild vegetables behind the slope are very abundant. My father will never go far, and he will finish the bowl in just a few mouthfuls. "Mom, I don't worry, go into the mountains to pick up Dad."

"Alright, let's go together." Li Lanfen became restless, it would be bad if the man rolled down the slope like herself.

Li Yan found a bundle of rope from the house and carried it on her back, "I'm going alone. I called Uncle Liu two days ago and asked him to bring pesticides and some seeds when he came. He said he would come in the next two days."

Yes, someone has to wait here, Li Lanfen can only stay here.

Li Yan hurriedly turned over the slope, and when she reached the edge of a ditch in the back mountain, she saw her father lying on the edge of the ditch from a distance, his face was bloody, and his clothes were torn in several places.

"Dad, what's the matter with you." Li Yan rushed over to check in fear, her father didn't move and closed his eyes tightly, and tried it in front of his nostrils with shaking hands, and he didn't have any breath.

When he went up the mountain in the morning, he was still ridiculed by his side, saying he was a slacker. The slope is only a few 10 minutes away from his home, and he didn’t want to go home and spend a lot of money to build a broken house~

A few hours later, he died.

"Wow..." Li Yan was distraught, and lay on his body and began to cry loudly.

Li Xiangming secretly opened his eyes and peeked at his daughter. She was really crying, and hurriedly said, "Swallow, Dad is not dead yet."

Seeing her father who opened his eyes and looked at her, Li Yan was startled and stopped crying.

Immediately, he came back to his senses and looked at him in surprise, "Dad, you're alive again!"

"Well, I was already dead, but I heard your cry and came back to life." Li Xiangming said and sat up.

"Oh, then I'll help you up." Li Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong, her eyes caught a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, she understood it in her heart, and immediately roared, "Li Xiangming! Is it fun to deceive people... "

Li Xiangming fell down, but it was nothing serious. His palms were covered with mud and some of the skin was scratched. He thought that there was water in Qinggou, so he came to clean it. As soon as Li Yan entered the ditch, he found it. .
