Fertile land

Chapter 19

After Luo Zhi'er received the things in the house, she locked the door.

He took Miao Miao and Li Sanmao to the place where he hunted and put his trap.

The three of them climbed up from the northwest corner of the hillside surrounding the cow's stomach that they saw yesterday. They climbed for almost two or three hours...

My feet are almost blistered...

When I first went out, I met many villagers on the road. Some were doing farm work in the fields, carrying firewood, and some were busy in the gardens next to their houses...

Watching Li Sanmao bring his fat wife with him for the first time.

The three of them held hands, and little Miaomiao was pulled in the middle. She was lifted up by her parents, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

I opened my eyes wide and rubbed them, feeling a little weird.

This Luo Zhi'er didn't even talk to them when they met in the village!
I thought she had a personality problem or was mentally ill. How could Li Sanmao fall in love with her when she was such a talented person?

I'm afraid it's just to repay that old man Luo!

Li Zhengxin, the head of the village, came back from washing clothes in the river with a wooden basin.

"Hey! Sanmao, where are you going..."

"Haha, Aunt Ginkgo, let's go for a walk in the mountains. Miao Miao and her mother are bored at home, so I will take them up the mountains to relax..."

"Oh, Sanmao still loves my wife!" Aunt Ginkgo glanced at Luo Zhi'er and joked.

Everyone knows that Luo Zhi'er fell into the river recently, and her health is not very good. If she stays at Lao Li's house, she will have to wait for an old family to eat and drink, which will make her suffer!

Luo Zhi'er shouted with a smile on her face: "Aunt Ginkgo, are you going to wash clothes in the river?"

"Yeah, hehe."

Although Luo Zhi'er's round face didn't look that pretty.

But smiling made her feel good.

This young couple is not as good as the old lady Zhao Xiaomei said.

What a pair of resentful couples. Luo Zhi'er is a glutton and the whole family doesn't like her, so they just live together as a couple!
This time she fell into the river and caused Li Daniu's incident again. She would probably die of embarrassment!
What Zhao Xiaomei means is that her mother-in-law forced her man to divorce her!It's really pitiful, but it's understandable. Sanmao must be so angry!
Unexpectedly, they had a good relationship with each other, and Luo Zhi'er was also quite polite. In the past, he only immersed himself in doing things and didn't pay much attention to others!
After walking a few steps, I saw Zhao Licun's wife, who was over 80 years old, fetching water while shaking and swishing.

When going up a small slope, my legs swung so hard that I saw people with buckets about to fall backwards and fall...

Li Sanmao quickly ran over to support her and took the pole, "Aunt Zhao, let me come!"

"Hey, it's Sanmao! What a good boy!"

Aunt Zhao looks very kind, a little tearful...

Luo Zhi'er also ran over and pulled her up with Miaomiao...

"Grandma Zhao, be careful, Miao Miao will help you."

"Hey, Miao Miao is good."

Luo Zhi'er thought, people are so pitiful when they get old, and their health is not good anymore.

People who can't earn money are also disgusted. Children have to be busy with their own affairs, so they can't take care of everything.

If you are a neighbor in your hometown, you can help me!
Li Sanmao carried the bucket to the river again, filled the bucket with water, carried it to the door for her and poured it into the water tank...

Miaomiao picked up the wooden ladle and trotted over, joining her father...

She supported Aunt Zhao and arrived at her home.

Luo Zhi'er saw that she seemed to be the only one living in her house. It turned out that her old man passed away two years ago and they still lived in a thatched house.

Speaking of her old man, Aunt Zhao was even more choked up with sobs, "I have been fighting and fighting all my life, whether it's life or death. Only when I'm getting old do I realize that it's better when the old man is here!"

She could only comfort her and tell her not to go, and that Sanmao would come back in the afternoon to help her fill the water tank...

Aunt Zhao kept nodding her head...

A few people then went up the mountain. When they reached the mountain, Li Sanmao carried Miao Miao in the basket on his back like Luo Zhi'er did.

Luo Zhi'er wanted to see if there were any fungi or anything else. Picking some up was better than staying at home.

On the way, I picked up a few turtle mushrooms, buckwheat mushrooms, red mushrooms...

Miaomiao yelled in the basket: "Mom, there are many here, and there is one there, wow, there is a really fat one under that pine tree..."

Luo Zhi'er was surrounded by Miao Miao's command, "Where are they?"

"Under the tree!"

"Yeah! It's such a big one!" Luo Zhi'er squatted down with great effort, panting, and pulled out the fungus. His eyes showed a little joy, like a child who had never seen the world...

Li Sanmao shook his head...

He took two little friends out...

Several people were sweating profusely. When they took a breather, Luo Zhi'er made a sun hat for the three of them...

Rough guy Li Sanmao had a smile in his eyes, "Hey! Thank you, wife!"

Luo Zhi'er's face turned red and she said angrily, "Husband, you are too polite!"

"Hahaha!" Li Sanmao looked up to the sky and laughed.

Luo Zhi'er rolled his eyes and squirmed to pick up the fungi...

Li Sanmao just discovered today that his fat wife is so interesting!

Luo Zhi'er thought that hunting was not easy for him. Along the way, he realized that even the place to set the trap was so far away...

One can imagine how difficult it would be for him to carry something as heavy as a wild boar.

"Daughter-in-law, are you tired? Let's take a break!"

He felt that it must be very tiring for his wife to be so fat as she climbed the mountain. She had never set foot on this hillside before...

"Fortunately, I'm so fat. I need to exercise more." Li Sanmao saw that she only drank a little bit of the pig lung soup today. Could it be that she was losing weight?

"Daughter-in-law, you'll look better if you lose weight, but I don't think you should starve yourself just to lose weight..."

"Daughter-in-law, I like you no matter what you do! Hehe!"

He scratched the roots of his hair.

Damn, she was actually a little attracted to him again.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stupid?"

"Husband, how can I not! I lose weight for health. I feel breathless when climbing mountains and tired when working. I feel like I will suffocate if I don't pay attention at night..."

It was so serious. He had never seen her say this in front of him before. It was because he had not considered it and was too careless.

"Well, that's a question. Wife, how do you want to lose weight? I can cooperate with you. I will also be alert at night to accompany you!"

"Well, thank you."

"Daughter-in-law, why are you so polite to me?"

As they chatted, they walked halfway up the mountain. She saw a forest of short, thin and dense wild bamboos on the other side of the woods. This was wild bamboo.

Thinking that there might be wild bamboo shoots, I opened the leaves and branches and walked through the forest...

Hey!Fried bacon with wild bamboo shoots and stewed with wild bamboo shoots are delicious!

Sure enough, when she went in, she saw many tiny wild bamboo shoots. She stepped forward and pinched the tips, which were quite tender.

Li Sanmao also carried Miao Miao over and put down the basket on his back, "Daughter-in-law, these bamboo shoots are too thin and taste numb. Normally, everyone doesn't eat this!"

"Miao Miao's father, these bamboo shoots need to be boiled with water, soaked in salt overnight and dried before they become numb!"

"Is that so?"

He remembered pulling some back when he was hunting before.

She was thrown away by her mother, who said he couldn't hunt, and that using this thing made people miserable, even a pig in the pen would be disgusted...

He never pulled it out again...

Li Sanmao started to pull out the strands together with her. He pulled out several strands in succession and saw a red rash on his wife's hands.

frowned,

"Daughter-in-law, this bamboo shoot has burrs. It will prick your hands when you pull it out. It will sting. You and Miaomiao go to rest under the tree. I have rough skin and thick flesh. Let me come..."

Li Sanmao said.

I looked at that girl Miaomiao, she was also helping, her elbows with sleeves rolled up were red...

Luo Zhi'er is not a person who lives leisurely. When he sees bamboo shoots, he can't help but want to pull them out...

"No, I like to pull bamboo shoots."

"Miaomiao, go and rest under the tree. Mom and dad will be fine later..."

"Okay!" Miao Miao's hands were small and tender, and it was really uncomfortable for her to be pricked by it in the summer...

After a while, the wild bamboo shoots in the surrounding bamboo forest were picked clean, the snakeskin bag was filled, and a tree vine was found nearby to tie it up...

Fortunately, she brought her bag with her and asked Li Sanmao if he should take this route when going down the mountain.
Li Sanmao nodded doubtfully. She found a bush on the side of the road, put the snakeskin bag on the bush, and covered it with some dry leaves.

They also eat wild bamboo shoots here, but it's a little far away.

During the recent busy farming season, the wild bamboo shoots don’t taste that good. Many people have stomach discomfort after eating them, and few people come to pull them out specifically for them...

Li Sanmao carries Miao Miao on his back and sets out again...

After walking for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the place where the condoms were placed.

Luo Zhi'er looked from a distance and saw that there seemed to be something colorful tied to the rope on the branch, with a long tail that was still flapping...

Li Sanmao ran over quickly, and Luo Zhi'er also pulled Miaomiao and followed closely behind!

"Husband, what is it?"

"It's a golden pheasant!"

Of course, the golden pheasant is not as valuable as the wild boar. It is estimated that no one will buy it in the town. Fortunately, you can eat it at home and drink soup...

Da Da Ya Festival…

"Yeah! Daddy is awesome!"

Miaomiao cheered.

"Very good, we have meat to eat again!"

Luo Zhi'er also said that Li Sanmao was extremely satisfied. If he were his mother, he would definitely say that this thing is not enough for a tooth-striking ceremony.

It’s not even worth a few bucks. It’s all work in vain, and you still have to cook for him…

Even so, after eating him and Miaomiao, there was very little left in his wife's stomach.

The few traps at the back were not far away, and half an hour later I saw a pile of prey on the ground.

There is a golden pheasant, a rabbit, a pheasant, and the other two sets are empty.

Although they are all small wild animals, the harvest is still good, but I don't know if they can get into Zhou's eyes.

Li Sanmao tied the rope again, and the three of them were ready to go back.

Walking to the top of the mountain and looking down, I feel relaxed and happy...

Luo Zhi'er pointed to the grassland on the back of the mountain and asked, "Husband, where is that?"

Why was all the land there abandoned and turned into weeds?
