Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 128 New Chapter 129: My sister admires you very much

Miali had sharp eyes. She could vaguely see some spots through Yu Chunju's raised collar and knew that the child was suffering from some disease.

I felt sympathy immediately.

She walked over, squatted in front of Yu Chunju with a smile, and picked leeks with her.

When the chives are out of season, the leaves turn yellow and the chive shoots have to be picked out, so picking them is quite troublesome.

A lot of vegetables are needed to cook for more than a dozen people. Half a basin of vegetables have been picked from the ground, and at least two-thirds of them have not been picked yet.

Yu Chunju didn't expect Mia Li to help her pick vegetables. She subconsciously shrank back, but because the small stool under her butt was too small, she sat on her back on the ground, and the leeks in her hands all fell on her body.

Suddenly I felt very embarrassed.

Miyali smiled, quickly pulled her up, and said with a smile: "Why, do you think I'm a monster?"

Yu Chunju quickly pulled her hand back.

She always felt that her disease was contagious and that only her brother had immunity to it. She didn't dare get too close to a stranger, even if the person looked gentle, like her mother, and gave her a very intimate feeling.

"Come, sit up, I'll help you."

Mi Yali calmly let go of Yu Chunju's hand, let her sit back on the stool, took off her shoes and put them under her butt, sat cross-legged, and started picking them up.

"Your name is Chunju, right?"

Yu Chunju lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.

"My sister's name is Chunmei, and your name is Chunju. These are your names. Are there also Chunzhu, Chunlan, and so on?"

"Ah."

"Is it really true?"

"Yes, there are also Chuntao, Chunxing, Chunping and others."

"They sound really nice. They are all names of flowers and fruits."

Yu Chunju nodded shyly and raised her head a little bit. Just now only the top of her head could be seen, but now her eyes could be seen. She had long eyelashes and big eyes. Although the lower part of her face was covered by a mask, it was still possible to tell that she was a little beauty.

There are quite a lot of good-looking people in the Yu family.

The main reason is that the Yu family has good genes.

Yu Qiutang’s grandmother was very beautiful. Although she had an average temper, you could still see the beauty of her youth.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been chosen to be a maid in a wealthy family, and even adopted as a goddaughter.

Yu Qiutang's uncles were all very handsome, especially his fourth uncle, who was quite good-looking, otherwise why would anyone ask for a son-in-law?

Among the three aunts, only the youngest one is of average appearance. The other two aunts are quite pretty.

Yu Qiutang remembered that in later years, they took some artistic photos together, and the two aunts looked like stars who had walked out of a TV drama.

Perhaps it was because of Miali's unguarded friendliness that Yu Chunju slowly adapted to her rhythm over the next short period of time. She no longer answered questions by uttering only one or two words in a long time, but instead spoke more.

His expression and body movements gradually relaxed.

Yu Chunmei, who was kneading dough nearby, saw this and couldn't help but praise in her heart.

Apart from anything else, this girl looks very kind. Most people would not dare to approach Chunju when they see her like that.

Instead of rejecting her, she took the initiative to help her with work and talked to her.

She must have seen Chunju's problem, but she was still willing to do this. It's really rare.

Chunju is a child who has not met many people. She is very simple and she likes someone very much. She feels the goodness of that person.

At least in terms of character, she is basically acceptable.

If it wasn't intentional.

Come to think of it, there's no need for her to pretend. She's just working here, not on a blind date, so she must show her truth.

"Yali, who else is in your family?" She tried to ask for more information for her brother.

In fact, she is not the type of person who likes to chat with people.

Life has been better in the past few months, so she is a little more optimistic. If it were in the past, she would probably be no different from Chunju.

Qiu Tang reminded her many times to be more optimistic and not to always look so depressed. Whether her health was good or not was a test from God. Since it was already like this, there was no point in complaining about it.

Just assume that she is just like that.

Based on this misfortune, even a slight improvement would be great.

Her brother has thought about her and done a lot for her, so she also wants to do more for him.

What could be more important than marriage?

"Let's talk about us. We have a big family, sis," Miyali said with a smile, "my parents, my grandparents, my brother, two younger brothers, two younger sisters, a whole family, anyway, it's quite a big family."

"That's a lot, it's a big family."

"That's right. Food is a problem at home. My younger brothers and sisters are still young and studying, and the crops produced in the fields are low. My mother often says that we can't feed so many children anymore, haha."

Yu Chunmei smiled and said, "It must be difficult to raise so many children, and there are also elderly people...so you, a girl, have to work."

"It's nothing. If a man can do it, I can do it too. Your Qiutang asked me to help in the kitchen. Otherwise, I would go to work in the fields.

Anyway, as long as we can make some money, it doesn't matter if we work hard. Life will get better slowly. We can just lie on the kang and wait, and no one will cook for us, right? "

When Miali said these words, there was no complaint in her voice, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

"It's hard work after all. There are not many girls like you who go outside and are exposed to the wind and sun. Look at your delicate skin, how can you bear it?"

"Haha," Miyali rolled up her sleeves and showed Yu Chunmei her tanned arms, "Look, these were dried when I helped someone harvest wheat a few months ago, and the color hasn't changed yet.

What's the big deal? Work requires people to do it. It doesn't require a lot of strength. There's no difference between men and women.

Just like my mother said, if a woman really loves her man, she should not just see him as a donkey doing work, but should learn how to help him share the weight. "

Ok.

Yu Chunmei was very happy to hear this.

Since you said so, if he gets together with our Qiutang in the future, you don’t have to worry about no one to take care of him.

"Sister, are these legs natural to you?"

Yu Chunmei nodded, "Yes, I got it when I was very young. It wasn't so serious before, and I could still run. The older I get, the more uncomfortable it becomes. Now I can't even walk properly, and sometimes it hurts if I stand for too long.

Oh, what a suffering.

Our Qiutang said that when he has money in the future, he will take me to a big city for a checkup to see if I can get some treatment, but I don’t know how much it will cost. It’s not easy for Qiutang to make money, he lives in the mountains...

Why am I telling you this? Sister, this is fate. No one can escape fate, right? "

Mi Yali comforted her, "Sister, don't be discouraged. Times have changed, science and technology are advancing, and medical skills will definitely develop. In addition, the level of doctors in hospitals in big cities is very high.

Maybe there is a place that can cure your illness.

You just said Qiutang was making a living in the mountains, what did you mean?" "It's hunting," Maybe because Mi Yali was very close, Yu Chunmei had no taboos and told Mi Yali everything about Yu Qiutang, "Qiutang is very good at hunting, and he brought back a lot of good things. Let me tell you, he even caught a blind bear some time ago."

"You mean the bear? Yu Qiutang has hunted a bear?!"

"That's right. The bear oil at home hasn't been used up yet. When you go back, I'll bring some back for you. When you make fermented steamed buns, add a little bear oil in them. The steamed buns will be very soft and crispy, and will have a fragrant aroma of oil.

Otherwise, how could he get so much money to build a house?"

"I see, that's really amazing."

Miali was thoughtful.

At this time, there was only a small handful of leeks left, so Yu Chunju said she would pick them herself and let Miyali take a rest. Miyali then washed her hands in the basin beside her and asked Yu Chunmei if she wanted her to help knead the dough.

Kneading dough requires standing for a long time. Yu Chunmei's legs are uncomfortable and she must be very tired.

Yu Chunmei couldn't refuse, so she had to give it to her and went to cut vegetables on the side. Cutting vegetables was relatively free, and she could walk back and forth and take the opportunity to relax her legs.

"Sister, you are in this state, but Yu Qiutang still asks you to do things. You really don't know how to take care of people." Miyali said.

"You can't blame him for this. I was the one who strongly urged him to do it," Yu Chunmei explained quickly, "You also said that people must do something and can't just stay at home and wait for others to feed them.

Qiutang must feel sorry for a disabled person like me and don't want me to suffer too much, but I thought that I am not unable to move, so at least I can do something within my ability to help Qiutang reduce his burden.

Qiutang is not even eighteen years old and will not be considered an adult until the beginning of next spring. But now he has to take on so many responsibilities. He has to take care of a disabled person like me, provide for the education and food of two children, and also think about building a new yard for us. How difficult it is.

Besides, you are almost 18 years old, you don't want to get married, you don't have to prepare things for her, nowadays girls, you have nothing, who would want to be with you, right?"

Miyali smiled and said, "Not entirely. It mainly depends on how the two of you live after you get married. If you ask for too many things in advance, it won't work if you don't live well later."

"That's true."

Yu Chunmei responded and gave Mi Yali a few more points.

This girl is really open-minded.

"Sister, we are going to make pulled noodles, right?"

"Yes, there are so many people that we won't have enough time to roll the noodles. Everyone will be tired and will definitely eat more. Add some臊子 to the noodles and make a red臊子 soup. It tastes delicious."

"Okay, I'll roll it thicker."

"You can pull noodles, right?"

"Yes, I have been cooking since I was very young. My family has a lot of land, and my parents have to work in the fields. My brother is building houses for others outside. I am responsible for all the cooking and cleaning at home."

"awesome."

Yu Chunmei sighed sincerely.

Mi Yali's optimism infected her. She found that no matter what they talked about, Yu Mi Yali answered very calmly, without any complaints or fear, and even the smile on her face did not diminish.

"It's really nothing. If you are from a poor family, you definitely can't live the life of a young lady. It's only right that I can help my parents share some of the responsibilities."

Miali folded the dough, put the rolling pin on the rack, and started cutting the noodles.

The so-called pulled noodles, also known as belt noodles, are noodles that are rolled out to a thickness of one millimeter and a width of about two centimeters. When the water in the pot boils, pull the noodles directly into the pot. After taking them out, add the spicy red臊子 soup, or prepared mixed vegetables in advance, and mix them with garlic cloves. It is so delicious.

It is most suitable for people who work hard.

Some people can even eat several bowls when they are tired.

The rule here is that if someone comes to work for you, you have to provide for their meals.

But in general, people just steam a lot of steamed buns, boil a pot of rice soup, and mix some shredded green peppers and radish, shredded green onions and radish, or cold-mixed leeks, etc., just enough to make people feel full.

There are very few people like Yu Qiutang who make臊子面 for others.

Just this bowl of臊子面, if sold at the market, would probably only fetch one or two yuan, and their wages would probably only make one or two yuan a day.

"Sister, do you want me to make the soup?"

"Okay, if you can mix it well, you can do it. Remember to make some for yourself first after you mix it, and then add the coriander."

"How do you know I don't eat coriander?" Miali was surprised.

"what?"

Yu Chunmei then remembered that it was Yu Qiutang who told her this, and she let it slip without noticing, so she laughed and said, "It's because most people don't like to eat coriander."

Mi Yali teased, "Really, sister, are you sure it wasn't Yu Qiutang who told you to do this?"

How could Yu Chunmei lie? She blushed when Miyali looked at her like that, and said helplessly, "Yes, Qiu Tang told me that you might not eat coriander. Don't let the cook have nothing to eat after cooking for a long time."

"That's it."

Miali smiled.

It's getting more and more interesting. Where did Yu Qiutang get all this information about me?

Calling me Lili is a bit outrageous in itself.

Now you know I don't eat cilantro.

You know, I just don't like eating coriander, and I would avoid eating it if I can. But when I am at my relatives' house, if someone puts coriander in my bowl, I won't say anything and I will just force myself to swallow it.

Shouldn't the people who truly know my habits be my closest family members who are very familiar with me?
Or, a few good sisters in the village?

Where did this guy get the news?

Logically speaking, no matter who it is, before revealing it to him, he would definitely tell me in advance, and he wouldn't be so secretive.

very strange.

However, one thing is certain, this guy must be a little fond of me, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

What to say.

This guy is good-looking and quite pleasing to my eye. He also seems to be quite capable. He can hunt bears at such a young age and can save so much money to build a yard, which is enough for him to live on.

As for a sense of responsibility, yes.

I heard from his sister that he has no complaints about taking care of so many people. A responsible man like him is a reassuring person to live with. He is much better than many guys who only brag.

As for his character, it seems... at least it seems now, there seems to be no problem. When talking to him, his eyes are gentle and full of kindness, and he will look people straight in the face without any evasion.

Such people are usually of pure character and have no bad intentions.

what……

She suddenly realized that there was no flaw in Yu Qiutang.

This is not normal.

Doesn’t it always say in novels that if a person looks perfect, he is either putting it on a show or he is hypocritical.

So which one would he be?
