Fertile land

Chapter 21

Luo Zhi'er saw that there were still pine nuts falling out of the small pile of pine cones that Miao Miao had picked up...

The ripening season of pine nuts is in September and October, and the kernels inside the pine nuts on this tree are still a little green.

However, there were accumulations on the ground that fell from last year, and some of them were eaten by squirrels.

I got close and crushed it with the soles of my feet, and pine nuts fell out. I picked it up and smelled it, and it was still good.

So he squatted on the ground and began to collect the pine cones scattered on the ground, throwing them into the backpack...

I stood up and picked some plump ones from the tree.

"Daughter-in-law! What are you doing picking up these pine cones?"

"Eat fried pine nuts."

He didn't lift his head.

"Oh."

Li Sanmao thought, they had smashed this pine cone with a sickle before and ate the pine seeds inside.

It has endless aftertaste and is quite fragrant, but it takes a lot of effort and takes a long time...

The shell is hard and can be used as snacks.

It is specially used to wrap the belly, so forget it, they are not squirrels!
For others, eating this thing is not as good as plowing two more fields.

For him, it is better to catch more wild animals!
However, since his wife likes to eat, he will naturally pick it up for her.

Speaking of which, he didn't do anything for her. He picked them up, climbed up the tree, picked the plump fruits and threw them down...

Miaomiao was particularly active and quickly helped her pick up the basket.

A few people filled the baskets in a short time and returned the same way. They found the snakeskin bag on the way, put it on the basket and tied it with vines!
Li Sanmao carried the wild animals on a branch, and took the basket from his wife's hand and carried it on her back...

Miaomiao pulled Fatty down the mountain.

On the downhill mountain trail, Luo Zhi'er even carried Miao Miao and trotted all the way. Miao Miao's giggle was like an oriole walking through the tree-lined path...

"Oh, let's go home with my little brat on your back!"

"Mom, run faster! Yeah! Miao Miao is flying!"

Li Sanmao followed closely behind, with a worried look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Daughter-in-law, slow down, oops, Miaomiao's shoes have fallen off!"

"Daughter-in-law, run slower..."

My daughter-in-law is fat and my daughter-in-law is small. This hillside is steep. Where can I fall if I fall?
The three of them returned home with a full load, Miao Miao's eyes were as crescent-shaped...

Before going home, go help Aunt Zhao fill up the water tank...

I just went back and it was already dark when I got home. I walked to the corner under the door cover on the road and took two steps to meet Zhao's second daughter-in-law.

She stretched her neck, listening to something with interest.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and said awkwardly, "Sanmao, where did you come back? What is your mother scolding?"

"Aunt Huaihua, we have just come back, are you not sure?"

"Oh, I thought I was scolding you two again, but it seems not!"

"This is the first time! By the way, what are you doing?"

He rolled his eyes and looked into the basket on his back...

The backpack was covered with a snakeskin bag, and nothing was seen underneath.

Only a few prey were seen dangling on the upturned branches.

"Hey! Tsk, Sanmao, are you going hunting again? The harvest looks good!"

"Isn't this pheasant meat delicious? It looks quite plump and oily!" he drooled while staring at the wild meat on his branch.

This Li Sanmao makes her family eat meat every day. If she has a child like this, why should she make a fuss?

"Uh…"

How do you answer this?
Li Sanmao scratched the base of his ears honestly.

How about giving her one?
Luo Zhi'er narrowed her eyes, stood in front of Li Sanmao, and said with a fierce voice:

"Aunt Huaihua, this wild animal is naturally delicious. If you want to eat it, ask Uncle Zhao to hunt one for you!"

"Haha, if your Uncle Zhao can hunt, what do I have to worry about?"

Aunt Huaihua said awkwardly.

"Well, our family has a large population, and if these things are not enough, I will give them up for the toothpaste ceremony!"

"Haha! That's true!" He looked at her body with disdain.

"That's right! What are you doing outside my yard?"

"Uh... I was picking the tips of peas just now. Aren't we going to make dinner? I'm going to make some soup!"

"Is that so?"

It seems like a smile but not a smile...

"if not!"

I felt uneasy inside, as if I had been seen through by her...

"My family is not as meaty as yours every day. Just look at the wild animals in the mountains and your family will be wiped out!"

Kill him.

"Aunt Huaihua, my family is full of meat and fish every day because my man Sanmao hunts diligently!"

"If you want to have meat and fish, you can do it in your house! You tell me to finish the hunting, but I won't obey you. There are a lot of prey in the mountains! Besides, there are no householders in this forest, so anyone can hunt them!"

"If you go to fight, I will naturally not stop you, let alone say you are wrong. Do you think you are..."

"Haha! Look how tight your mouth is despite your age."

"Forget it! I still have something to do, and you are still young, so I won't break up with you. Otherwise, if word spreads, I will be accused of bullying a little wife in my old age!"

"That's true, but compared to Aunt Huaihua, I'm not worth mentioning!"

"Sanmao, you guys are busy first, and I'll go back first!"

Yu Bi, as if there was someone chasing him, he ran away as fast as he could.

The figure disappeared around the corner of the intersection.

Luo Zhi'er snorted coldly!
Instead of picking vegetables in her own field to make soup, she went to her house to inquire about her.

Over and over again, you want to take advantage of her family's three cents?
Can't she see her?
Sanmao is honest, she is not easy to mess with!

Zhao's second daughter-in-law left, muttering on the road, "This Fatty Luo has a sinister face, his cold side eyes, and smile that make people shiver. He's so awesome!"

It's like eating people!
Who said she was naive?
"Daughter-in-law, wasn't it nice to treat Aunt Huaihua just like that?"

Li Sanmao saw that his wife was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, touched her nose and muttered, hesitatingly.

Luo Zhi'er rolled her eyes: "Husband, how about you give her one?"

"This…"

Seeing his face turn from green to red, Luo Zhi'er called him: "Let's go! You're a fool!"

"Oh!"

"Hey, I know I have the wrong wife!"

Li Sanmao touched the back of his head, this little chubby wife is still a tigress!He feels a little sweet in his heart, his wife is protecting him!

"Hmph! It's good to know!"

The big ass squirmed and pulled Miaomiao forward, and Li Sanmao quickly followed. Of course Luo Zhi'er heard Mrs. Zhou's scolding at the door.

By this time, Mr. Zhou, Old Man Li, and Li Lei had returned.

They walked slightly up the slope of the yard and saw,
Old Man Li sat on the big stone, his face darkened, and he knocked on his cigarette pocket on the ground...

Not very interested, I knocked it and shook out the cigarette stains inside...

He rolled the tobacco again and lit it, as if he was thinking about something?His brows were furrowed and he breathed out white smoke...

Zhou was not happy that Luo Zhi'er and the others came back late, so he gave her a hard look when he heard the noise.

He pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, "Little hooves, I'm restless every day and dragging my family around, cheating and sneaking around. I'll settle the score with you later!"

"Mom, I'm just going hunting with Sanmao! I want to improve the food for everyone!"

"Ha! You know how to make excuses! What are you doing when the third child goes hunting? You can tell it's just laziness! Just wait!" He glanced at a few small wild animals hanging on the branches behind Li Sanmao and swung them over. Throw it away.

He frowned in disgust!

What's the use of wasting a day's work on these little wild things?

"Busy work!"

However, she can't take care of Luo Zhi'er and the others yet.

Zhou turned her head and continued to curse. After cursing this and that...

I don’t know who I was scolding specifically, but both Xiao Zhou and Chen were scolded.

Luo Zhi'er was speechless. The old lady didn't know what was going on. She always rolled on the floor or sat on the door stool to curse at others whenever she disagreed!
Her dark eyes rolled around, and she understood when she was putting the basket on her back...

Mrs. Zhou is scolding Mrs. Zhou, calling her a white-eyed wolf, a long-tongued woman, and a little hooves. Who do you think you are?

"My family's food is all fed to the dogs. Everyone knows Sima's heart. Anyone who dares to talk about pearls is wrong. How dare you look at Lao Wu's face?"

Luo Zhi'er found a hammer, a sieve, and a wooden barrel, and started working.

Shake the pine cones, peel the shells, and find a knife to cut the bamboo shoots shells!
She won't get involved in this matter!Li Sanmao and Miao Miao also worked with her.

"If it weren't for me, just by climbing into the boss's bed, you would be invading the pig cage!"

"Your wings have become stiff. My old Li family can't let go of your Buddha now. Let's see if I don't let old Zhou family come to pick you up..."

Uh...there's still this one?
He glanced at Li Sanmao with unknown meaning.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"fine!"

Li Sanmao was a little upset because his wife just smashed the pine nuts with a hammer and gave him a fierce look.

Did he do something wrong again?
Mrs. Zhou scolded Mrs. Chen for a long time, but there was no movement in the boss's room, so she scolded Mr. Chen again in a high voice.

"Hu Meizi! I've been acting all day long in a devilish and alluring way. I've wanted to talk to you for a long time!"

"How dare you give Lei Wa a pillow blowing, how dare you disturb the attention of my old Li family's newly harvested wheat."

"Is that wheat something you can covet?"

The little Zhou family's room was quiet at first. When he heard that something was wrong, he immediately became unwilling. How could it be possible?

The first one rushed out of the room, vowing to question...

The boss of their banker is the main force. She has worked hard for half a year to grow wheat, these black-hearted things!I don’t see them around when I’m busy with farming...

When they matured, they all came back. It turns out they had this idea!

Li Gui, who was studying in the room, followed him out with an unhappy look on his face.

"mother…"

When he wanted to say something, Zhou gave him a comforting look!

Old Man Li kept winking at Mrs. Zhou just now, but it was too late and he didn't stop him!

This old woman has no clue!Why is everything squirting out?

Brothers are most afraid of discord, and the old Li family's rope cannot be broken!

Little Zhou asked, "Mom, when will Mu Qing and Yun Liang go to school?"

"They are also members of your Lao Li family, why should they be treated differently? Not to mention that there is no money, just because the boss works the land, it is more than enough for the two children to go to school..."

At this time, Lao Li wanted to bury his head in his crotch...

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she secretly cursed in her heart, this little hoof is a thief...

His eyes flashed, "How much is that? We have so many people in our family, old and young, all year round, so we don't have to pay for it?"

"Expenses?"

"I don't know what big expenses our family has..."

"What's the matter? We have food and drink, and no favors are allowed between us?"

"Really? I don't think I spent much, so why don't you show us the account book?"

"Accounts...account books? We are old farmers, how can we keep accounts if we are illiterate? You are deliberately burying your parents-in-law!"

"Ouch, what evil did my old Li family do in the last life? I married a bad guy like you!"

Roll on the ground and slap your thighs!
"My uncle and sister-in-law are so mean-spirited that they dare to bully me even before they are good enough!"

Zuo Gu said it, but he didn’t mention it anyway!
"Dad, tell me, I want to listen to you..."

The two old people naturally feel bitter in their hearts and cannot express it...

Let’s not talk about the gossip we heard on the street just now.

The two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Zhou and Ms. Chen, fought over trivial matters such as cooking and grabbing food.

It spread throughout the village that the old Li family had a bad family tradition and that the poor only ate corn crumbs...

Then who said what?The eldest son of his family is having an affair with the second daughter-in-law? ? ?
When I saw them coming back, I immediately kept silent...

That Zhao Xiaomei was eating melon seeds on the side of the road, covering her mouth, pointing at mulberry trees and scolding sophora trees.

"Bah! My old Li family doesn't have anything so immoral!"

That movement was simply...

Li Lei went to Chen's house with a clouded face and a livid face.

Seeing Mrs. Chen covering her head and sleeping, she was so angry that she cursed!

Before she could say a few words, Chen lifted the quilt.

"Li Lei, you bastard, go to hell!"

He howled and scratched at him...

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou returned home. They just took a drink of water and their buttocks were not touching the ground when they vaguely heard some movement in the second room!

"Mom, are you okay?"

Old Man Li said worriedly.

Zhou's Qi-Relief Way:
"You deserve it! You should give that little bitch some color to see! Who does she think she is? She spends all day doing all kinds of things and is ignored, but she still wants to go to heaven?"

Lao Li nodded...

It's time to teach her a lesson...

I sat down to smoke and take a breath, but before I could even sit down, Li Gui and Li Zhenzhu rushed over to complain...

My daughter, Pearl, was crying so hard that she was out of breath.

She said that her sister-in-law wanted to drive her away because she thought she was an eyesore at home, so she ate too many corn crumbs...

When Zhou heard this, she immediately became furious, "This little whore who is seeking death is very courageous!"

He ran to the door of the courtyard house and cursed at the top of his lungs.

"Bah! Shameless little whore! Count the ball."

"My pearl is my treasure, and I am a real member of the old Li family!"

"She, little Zhou, is not just an outsider, she is at most the mother of the two children of the Li family..."

"You are awesome! Don't play tricks behind your back! Come out if you dare..."

Another thing is that their stuff has not been sold today.

Spreading resentment.

As soon as the second child left, he took them to the store he liked in town.

He talked about the business he was going to do.

It costs money to open a shop, and you also need money to buy goods...

Li Lei then took them to see the shop where the business was conducted.

That's a real crowd-pleaser and it's bound to make a lot of money.

I've put this Fiber Mushroom Oil on the back burner for the time being.

When I remembered it, it was already afternoon and no buyer had been found.
