Jin Liangyu

Chapter 45 Digging Wild Ginseng
  After a week of hard work, the family was almost exhausted and finally moved into their new home.

At dawn the next day, while the girls were still sleeping, Jin Sheng woke up Mr. Liang and took Zhou Erlang and Xiao Lei out to Liang's house.

There has been no news from the Liang family these days, and Jin Sheng and the Liang family are very concerned. They thought that after the wooden house was built, the first thing they would do was go to the Liang family.

"Look, it's getting dark and it might rain soon."

Just after lunch, the weather changed. Brother Liang stood under the eaves, holding the railing and talking to his two sisters as if he was very experienced.

Sister Yan and Sister Ling were sitting side by side on the floor, with their short legs hanging out of the railings and dangling comfortably. They did not forget to cheer for their brother and kept nodding their little heads.

"Look, the wind has picked up, and it may rain heavily this time." Brother Liang pointed at the sky and said, imitating his grandfather's usual look.

Mrs. Liang was still cleaning up the kitchen. When she saw the wind, she hurriedly went back to the bedroom to close the window. Seeing that the three children were still outside, she let them in.

"Brother Liang, the wind is too strong. Bring your sister in quickly. It's going to rain soon."

"Oh, okay, tits."

Following Nai's instructions, the two little girls awkwardly got up from the floor and ran into the house with their brother.

The sky became darker, as if night had fallen.

There was a loud "rumbling" sound, and a bolt of lightning exploded in the air. The scared and timid Sister Ling pursed her lips and hugged Ms. Liang's thigh tightly, not daring to open her eyes.

"Miscellaneous, I'm afraid."

"Milk." Sister Yan also imitated her sister and hugged Ms. Liang's other leg tightly.

Only Brother Liang stood behind Mr. Liang with a pale face, pretending to be strong and did not move.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here with you."

"Uh-huh."

Dabao was also frightened by the thunder and woke up. Fortunately, Jin Liangyu had the foresight to hold Dabao in his arms earlier.

The little guy felt his mother's comfort and pursed his lips without crying.

Along with lightning and thunder, heavy rain also arrived as expected.

Mrs. Liang, with three little tails, half-opened the front door, and worriedly said to her daughter standing at the door of the west room: "It's raining so heavily, and I don't know where your father and Erlang are."

"Mom, don't worry, my dad is not stupid. He can find a place to hide from the rain even if he is walking halfway."

"But it's hard to find shelter from the rain in the wilderness outside."

"Mom, you forgot about home."

When Ms. Liang heard her daughter mention her home, her heart finally dropped halfway. But she thought of Erlang again, and her heart started to worry again, "Erlang is following him, why is your father coming home?"

"Mom, you underestimate my father too much. He will adapt."

Mrs. Liang: "I'm not afraid that your father will become stubborn."

"Mom, just keep your heart in mind, my father has enough brains."

At this time, in a small cave halfway up the mountain that could barely hide the two of them, the father-in-law and son-in-law were facing each other, silly and happy.

"Dad, is this really wild ginseng?" Although the wild ginseng was dug out, Zhou Erlang was still dizzy and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Yes, look at this leaf."

Zhou Erlang didn't know ginseng leaves either, but he only knew Shale. "Dad, how much can this wild ginseng be sold for?"

"I don't know either. But this ginseng should be old and worth some money."

Zhou Zhoulang knew his father-in-law's character, and he said that the gift was worth some money, and that money was definitely indispensable. Thinking of a lot of money flying towards their house, the smile on his honest face couldn't be hidden, and the corners of his mouth would have reached the back of his head if his ears weren't blocking them.

Jin Sheng also didn't expect that he would take his son-in-law to deliver a letter to the Liang family today. When he came back, he wanted to take a shortcut and climb over the mountain so that he could get home early.

Unexpectedly, he saw the legendary old wild ginseng while taking a rest. Although he didn't understand it very well, he felt that this thing was quite old.

Oops, I didn’t expect that Jin Sheng would also encounter this unexpected fortune.

Rumbling, Jin Sheng was just thinking about the beauty, and thunder sounded in the sky again. Erlang's worried eyes flashed from the electric snake and slid towards the dark valley in the distance.

"Dad, we are all outside, are my mother and Ayu afraid?"

"It's useless to be afraid." At this moment, most of the joy of digging up wild ginseng was gone, and they even regretted going to relieve themselves. If they had held it in for a while, they might have gotten home earlier.

"Dad, why don't we run quickly? We'll be home soon."

"In this kind of weather, we are running back in the rain because we are afraid that we will reach our hometown soon."

"Dad, don't scare me."

"Why am I scaring you? It's raining and thundering. You can't walk or run in the rain. It's easy to attract thunder."

Zhou Erlang shuddered when he thought of the tragedy after being struck by lightning.

He is afraid.

"We'd better wait, this thunderstorm should pass quickly."

Zhou Erlang nodded silently. He had to wait even if he didn't want to. He didn't want to be struck by lightning.

Jin Liangyu stood in front of the window holding Dabao, looking at the heavy rain outside through the glass window.

"Fortunately, our home has glass windows. If these were window paper, I would be miserable."

Brother Liang was also lying on the windowsill looking out the window. After listening to his aunt's words, he also started talking.

"This glass window is good. We can see things outside when we are in the house."

"Yeah." Sister Yan also nodded. She also likes glass windows. She also likes curtains made of milk. They are a beautiful green color, which is more beautiful than the color of the grass and leaves outside.

"Nai, can I always live with Nai from now on?" Sister Yan likes this place very much in her little heart. She also likes Grandpa and Nai. She doesn't want to leave.

"You can stay here as long as you like."

"I want it too, I want it too." Even though Sister Ling was young, she had been listening quietly beside her. When she saw that Nai had agreed, she started shouting.

"Okay, okay, we'll all live here." Mrs. Liang agreed with a smile.

Jin Liangyu also smiled when he looked at the lively and cute appearance of the three little ones. "It's good to have the three of them here. Our place is quite lively."

"Yeah." Maybe it's because he's getting older, but Liang is becoming more and more fond of fun.

"I think about the past, when you went to school and your father and I were the only ones left at home. It was fine during the day, and the restaurant was busy and chattering, but when all the customers left, your father and I would stare at each other, and then we would look at each other. Asking what day it is, you won’t be back until Friday night.”

"Mother~" Liang's words made Jin Liangyu feel sad.

"It's very good now. Your father and I are now full of children and grandchildren." Mrs. Liang said, remembering those adults who were not too worried, and said with a slightly disgusting tone: "Although the older ones are a bit uncomfortable, It's cute, but these three little ones are to our liking."

Brother Liang was happy after listening to Nai's words. He understood that Nai disliked his parents and second uncle, but liked him and his sisters.

Hee hee, he also likes grandma.
