Rebirth of the Pastoral Wife

Chapter 5 Portable Space
"Father believes you, my Bao'er is the most obedient, obedient since she was a child..." Father Liu smiled even more when he heard Bao Niang say this.

Going out of the courtyard gate and walking southward, there is a paddy field owned by Baoniang's family, with Nanshan as her back. When Baoniang saw Father Liu going to the field, she turned around and walked up the mountain. Just after breakfast, there were no people in the field. Much, let alone the mountains.

Bao Niang walked a long way in one go, and the herbs at the bottom of the mountain had already been dug up by the villagers. If you want to find good herbs, you have to run farther up.

Unknowingly, she walked a little far away. Looking into the distance, Bao Niang looked at the scenery in front of her and forgot the purpose of her coming. Continuous mountains rose from the ground, and the green branches covered the entire mountain range. Looking down, the lake that gave birth to the life of the whole village seems to be inlaid in the eternal mountains. The large and small puddles and rivers in the mountains carry the water of life, like pearls in the mountain stream, dazzling.

Having never seen such a scenery properly before, Bao Niang found a comfortable position and sat down.

Time is always cruel, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves disturbed her reverie, she smiled, she got up, yes, she is here to dig herbs, not to enjoy the short-term comfort!

Pick up the pannier, continue to go up, go up a little bit and find some herbs and she will go back.

Without thinking too much, Bao Niang carried the bamboo basket and walked up. The hillside under her feet was not very steep but unstable. , Looking at the clods of soil that had collapsed under her feet, she smiled lightly on her face, stayed for a while and got up again, bowing her body upwards, but when she lowered her head, she saw a few wild fungi that were growing very well.

Unexpectedly, I found delicious food in this steep and small place.

She dug it up and put it in the back basket, and it would be a bit wild to go up any further. She didn't dare to go up alone, and felt a little regretful that she didn't dig up herbs that could be exchanged for big money.

Walking down the hill, before Bao Niang had a moment's rest, Father Liu came over with a hoe on his shoulder and saw Bao Niang softening his old face, "Bao'er, go home..."

"Hey, now that I know dad, how is the work in the field?" Bao Niang asked casually.

"Except for some awkward edges, everything is fixed!"

"Well, let's go home..." Bao Niang looked up at the things in Father Liu's hands after speaking and asked with a smile, "Father, what are you holding in your hands?"

"This one, dug on the mountainside, it looks like wild ginseng..." Holding two radishes that were one size smaller than ordinary radishes in his hand, Old Man Liu said indifferently.

There are not many wild ginseng on the mountain, but it is not difficult to find. Most of them are as thick as children's arms. Most people in the village have a few of them, which are not very valuable.

"Well, put it away, dry it and store it..."

Bao Niang knew that the wild ginseng on the mountain was dug up by the villagers two years later, and it was difficult to find wild ginseng in the whole mountain, and the price of this wild ginseng also increased a lot. Those with wild ginseng made a lot of money!
"Okay, listen to Bao'er..." The father and father walked on the country road, listening to the sound of insects and frogs in the grass, Bao Niang felt that this kind of life was very comfortable.

When I got home, unexpectedly, Baoniang’s elder brother Liu Baogen’s family came over. They were sitting in the yard talking to Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song, who was talking about being excited, saw her man and daughter came back and immediately got up to greet them. , first took the hoe in the hands of Father Liu, and then went to pick up Baoniang's basket.

Bao Niang smiled at Song Shi, "Mother, I'll come, this basket is not heavy..."

Except for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Song, everyone else showed disbelief and stunned expressions when they heard Baoniang's words.

"Mother, what's wrong with Bao'er? Did you break your head?" The honest Liu Baogen asked slowly after being poked by his mother-in-law with her arm.

"He broke his head, Bao'er is sensible, and knows that he loves his parents..." Song smiled and looked at Bao'er gently and lovingly.

Listening to what the elder brother said, the corners of Bao Niang's mouth twitched a few times with her head down. She was just calmer, but in the eyes of others, why did she break her head?
He raised his head and looked at his eldest brother who had been working in the fields all year round. He had dark skin, a square face with standard Chinese characters, and a pair of honest and honest eyes under thick eyebrows.

"Brother, in the past it was my ignorant younger sister who caused troubles for the family and made you worry. I will definitely not do that again in the future..." First showing weakness, and then expressing her determination, Bao Niang looked at Liu Baogen and sister-in-law Wang said sincerely.

"Hey, look at what Bao'er said, it's natural for you to be spoiled by your parents' old daughter, but don't overdo it. It's better for a girl to be gentle and virtuous. Look, like My family, Chunmei, is honest and good at embroidering. There are a few people from the next village who come to propose marriage. A good girl will not worry about marrying..."

Mrs. Wang didn't mean to see Bao Niang's jokes, she just talked about the matter, and hurried to this stubble.

In detail, Mrs. Wang is not a heinous villain, he just likes to be greedy for petty gains and pick melons, fruits and vegetables. These mothers know it. Besides, what kind of bad people can come out of this small mountain village!

Everyone is greedy but never thought of harming human life in the past, this is the most lovely thing.

"Chunmei is getting engaged, what a congratulations? As an aunt, I don't have anything to give away. This silver bracelet is worthless, so I gave it to you..." Hearing this, Bao Niang pulled the bracelet away. Guo Meixiang let go of her hand.

"Auntie, this can't be done..." Chunmei looked at Baoniang as if she didn't know her, and was flattered.

When did her aunt change her temper?She didn't believe that she would be willing to give away the just made silver bracelet.

"I'll keep it if I give it to you, it's just a little care of being an aunt..." Pushing Chunmei's hand, Wang said with a smile on her face.

Being able to get something from Bao Niang is something that has never been imagined. Now that she can get such a big silver bracelet that is worth two taels, Mrs. Wang hastened to let Chunmei put it away.

"Bao'er..." After the bracelet was covered by Chunmei's sleeve, Song looked nervously at Baoniang, her eyes full of worry.

"It's okay, mother!" Baoniang said before saying to Chunmei, "Take it, a little kindness from my aunt..."

Seeing Baoniang's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Liu Baogen was very satisfied in his heart, and the expression on his face eased a lot, and he also smiled at Baoniang, while Wang Shi, who was close by his side, was smiling but lively. , Bao Niang took out her silver bracelet all at once, which was unexpected, don't just look for a face, and find a reason to ask for it after a while.

Pushing Chunmei's arm, she said in a moderate and pretending voice, "Go home and embroider your handkerchief..."
