Chapter 43 The Dog Takes the Mouse and Meddles in Its Business (2)
Lin Chun told everyone in the family about the white snake entering the family. No one else knew about it except Uncle Dashan's family. With everyone's encouragement and comfort, Xiaoshan and Erya were no longer afraid. Dudu and Guaiguai also let Dashan stay with him. Uncle Dashan's house.

In March in Yangchun, the spring is bright and beautiful. Today is the day when Lin Chun’s family broke ground and prepared to build the fence. A few days ago, Shi’s family had sent several batches of polished stones. Farmers plus An He and a few others helped bricklayers and a total of nearly 20 people. They were divided into two groups and started to dig the foundation from the rubble pile in Linjia Village and the big convex slope in Chenjia Village respectively. Now the foundation has been almost dug. Officially lay stones and build walls.

Early in the morning, Uncle Dashan used a bamboo pole to carry a few firecrackers, and set off the Perak Bala on the rocky pile and the big convex slope, which attracted the elders and folks in the two villages to watch the fun. Lin Chun followed Aunt Cuihua and the two A woman went to the town early in the morning and bought fresh vegetables, fish and eggs. She had to take care of everyone's lunch and dinner. Because there were too many people in the family, after Anhe and Uncle Dashan built their huts, they refurbished the kitchen The size is doubled, which is convenient for the two mothers-in-law to cook at ordinary times.

Datou, Erya, and Xiaoshan all began to attend classes with Mr. Yu. Lin Chun specially asked Uncle Dashan and Anhe to build two thatched huts in the quiet and elegant mountain forest a little far from home, and let a few people study and attend classes here. Being disturbed, he can still be at ease and serious. Thinking of Lin Chun asking Uncle Dashan to carry a box of books to Mr. Yu and the big head Erya, they were all full of excitement. What she said to herself in that broken room, it turned out that my sister had always remembered it in her heart and never forgot it. Erya also secretly swore in her heart that in the future, everything would be based on her sister's wishes.

Dudu and darling, Beibei has been running around outside since she entered the school in the mountains. Lin Chun was worried that they would go deep into the woods, so she tied them all at home with a rope. The rope is very long and can be used in the yard. Free movement, at first the three dogs struggled to resist, biting the rope, desperately trying to break free, but under Lin Chun's attention, they finally silently endured the pain of being tied up.

The family is busy, Lin Chunzi can't get away, Datou and others have to study, these three dogs are not only fed by An Zhu when they are eating, but occasionally play with them for a while when Datou is out of class in the evening. Don't pay much attention to them.

Unexpectedly, on today's auspicious day, the family was very happy, and these three dogs did something ridiculous, but they felt that they were meritorious.

Everyone had lunch at noon, took a rest for a while and was about to go to work. Lin Chun asked An Zhu to deliver meals to Datou and the others. Naturally, the three dogs were no exception. , Muttering, I don’t know what to say, Yu Xinle held a pair of chopsticks made of branches in his hand, and there was something in the book cabinet in the thatched cottage. He let out a cry: "This damn mouse, it's not good to have cubs there, but it ran into my treasured rare book box to give birth, my rare book, my book, big head, go and find me a clay pot, I'm going to drown these damn rats in water, I'm so mad!"

"Oh, okay, sir, keep these little mice for now, I want to show my sister later." The big head is obviously not very afraid of these little mice.

"That's right! That's right! Sir, this little mouse is so cute and pink. No wonder Dudu and Guaiguai are staying under the cabinet and want to jump up. They must also want to see it." Xiao Shanyi The face is immature, full of childlike innocence.

"Hey, Brother An Zhu is here, look quickly, Brother An Zhu, Dudu and Kuaiguai found the mouse on the husband's cabinet, all the books of the husband have been gnawed, and the mouse even laid little mice in the scraps of the book. I haven't seen it yet, Brother An Zhu will help me find out, can the little mouse bite people? After Erya was scared by the white snake last time, she has always been a little timid, and she has begun to fear animals."

"Hmph! It's really a dog meddling in the rat's business, but it's good at meddling in its business. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise I don't know how many books I would have lost!" Yu Xinle looked sad, as if she had lost her relatives. Sad look.

"Hehe, it looks like we're going to have an extra meal for Dudu and Xiaoguai at noon today. If they can find this mouse cub, they probably ran wild in the mountains and forests. They even dare to eat mice, otherwise they wouldn't be so clever to find it. Mice are timid, and the place where they lay their cubs is naturally hidden, how can these two dogs find it easily." An Zhu analyzed.

Datou found a broken bowl from somewhere, and washed it with water. After Yu Xinle was finished, he used the branch chopsticks to pick up the mouse cubs one by one into the bowl. Erya didn't dare to look at it. From time to time, the ground would pounce on several people, trying to snatch the delicious food in the bowl. Yu Xin was happy to see that the two dogs were a little crazy. Earth blood frightened the three children.

An Zhu originally wanted to dig a pit to bury the nine little mice in the bowl, but he thought that some children wanted Lin Chun to see them, so he took them home. Lin Chun was drying fungus in the yard, and it rained continuously these days. , A lot of fresh fungus grew on the dead wood in the mountain. Lin Chun and Mrs. Cuihua went to the mountain with their two wives. Now they have dried a lot of dried fungus at home. Sometimes they use fungus to scramble an egg at noon. Or sliced ​​meat, everyone likes to eat it very much. After Lin Chun plans to build his own wall, he will take the dried fungus at home to sell in hotels and restaurants in town or in the county.

From afar, Lin Chun saw An Zhu walking towards the house with a broken bowl, a little strange, and hurriedly called Mrs. An to come out. An Zhu saw Lin Chun and Mrs. An standing in the yard staring at the bowl in his hand, He quickened his pace, "Big ya, I'll show you something fun, but don't be afraid." Saying that, An Zhu handed the bowl to Lin Chun.

Before Lin Chun could make a sound, Mrs. An was pleasantly surprised, "This is a little mouse, hurry up, Mrs. Li, find a man, and bring the sesame oil on the stove, the whole jar of oil !"

"Here, Mrs. An, this little mouse is pink and tender at best. What are you doing with oil? Are you going to fry it for me? I dare not eat this pest." Thinking about it, Lin Chun felt disgusted.

"My lady, I don't have the courage to fry mice for everyone to eat. Besides, even if I want to fry them, I use vegetable oil, and I don't know how to use sesame oil! This little mouse cub is very beneficial. Our old people over there put it Put the baby mice in an urn, pour some sesame oil, drown them, and then seal the urn. If someone in the family gets burned in the future, just use a cotton cloth to dip some oil in the urn and rub it. The effect is better than that prescribed by old Chinese medicine practitioners. The pharmacy is still working! When I was young, I always wanted to catch little mice, but I couldn’t find them at home. I didn’t expect to meet my old lady today.” Mrs. An was very excited.

Lin Chun had only heard about these ancient and strange prescriptions, but had never seen them before. Lin Chun looked at An Zhu, who shook his head and said he didn't know, "Mrs. An, is what you said true? Why? I haven't heard of it?" Lin Chun was very interested in these things, and didn't worry at all that the jar of sesame oil at home might be wasted.
