Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 25

Lin Baozhu looked at the cubs in the crates, all chirping with energy.In addition, there are a few ducklings inside, and it is hard to say whether they are croaking or chirping, anyway, it is very lively together.

"Auntie looks really good, and everyone is full of energy." Seeing the object she wanted, Lin Baozhu didn't care about the soreness in her heart just now, and just smiled and talked sweetly. "It just so happened that I brought the money with me, so I can save myself a trip back."

As early as when he was digging wild vegetables, Lin Baozhu thought that if he stopped by, he would catch the chickens and ducks back, so naturally he installed the copper plates early.

"Also, Auntie Lao has already remembered this matter. If you have time tomorrow, go to my place for a break, so that I can entertain Auntie."

Speaking of this matter, regardless of whether it is polite or sincere, Mrs. Lu agreed with a smile on her face.In fact, she was quite happy to be able to sell the chicken and duck to the village, after all, it would take a long time to go to the town.Not to mention the effort, it may not be possible to sell all of them.So now seeing Lin Baozhu handing over the money happily, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"Okay, when I'm free, I'll go with you, Mrs. Tian, ​​and the others. We'll get to know the family from now on. Remember to take a break from here on." While talking to the two of them, Mrs. Lu took a The nest chick and Xiao Yezi grabbed it into the basket. "When you go back, remember to buckle it up for two days, otherwise this little thing won't know where to go."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll remember." Lin Baozhu was very happy to see the little fluffy guys chattering and jumping in the basket until it was covered with a layer of cloth.

Because it was noon, the two hurried out of Mrs. Lu's house without further delay.When I passed Mrs. Tian's house, I took some rapeseeds.And Xu Shi ate Lin Baozhu's food, even Qian Shi was eager to see her.Thinking that there was still a family in the family, Lin Baozhu didn't dare to stay any longer, and took the vegetable basket and the basket that Lu Pozi caught the chicken just now, and went home.

Seeing that there was no movement at home, she thought to herself that Zhang Mandun might not be back yet.So first the chick and the duckling were buckled up separately, thinking of Mrs. Lu's advice, I simply dug a little millet and soaked it in water.After finishing all this work, I was content to pick up wild vegetables.

Perhaps the lively activity in the yard brought a lot of vitality to the house. When she was busy working in the kitchen, she was still full of joy in her heart.Thinking about having chickens and ducks at home, they will be able to lay eggs in a few months, and they can still slaughter two for stew during the Chinese New Year, she felt inexplicably relieved.

While thinking about the days to come, she picked out the bitter weeds in the basket, and washed the bracken and shepherd's purse.

Because bracken itself has certain toxicity, it should be blanched before eating.Speaking of this, it was also a stupid thing she did before. At that time, she didn't understand that fried pork with bracken was directly fried in a pan, but a picnic caused her and her two senior sisters to collectively suffer from food poisoning.It is also fortunate that the medical conditions were good in the previous life, otherwise I am afraid that I will suffer a serious crime.

Thinking of her previous life, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing and sighed. She didn't know that something happened to her, and who could help with the Lin family's mess.I don't know if my brothers and sisters will be sad
There were mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't come back to herself until the knife in her hand touched her fingernails. Then she smiled wryly and shook her head, expressing her absent-mindedness.Anyway, the coming has already come, so what can I do if I just recite all kinds of past lives?It's better to live the immediate life in a down-to-earth manner.

Lin Baozhu was working hard in the kitchen, blanching and marinating, then cut some shredded pork and stir-fried the freshly soaked bracken.Seeing that there was still time to spare, he simply blanched the shepherd's purse and chopped it into pieces, mixed it with some fatty meat and chopped it into meat stuffing.If you want shepherd's purse stuffing to be delicious, you have to waste oil and meat. Fortunately, neither she nor Zhang Mantun likes to eat snacks, so lard shuttles are rarely eaten, and it is just right to use them at the moment.

Looking at a small pot of green shepherd's purse stuffing, she was very satisfied.Needless to say, I used to eat something fresh, but now I look at it and the gluttons in my stomach are almost hooked out.Even without all kinds of seasonings, but only smelling the light fragrance of wild vegetables, I feel comfortable.

While he was busy with his work, Zhang Mantun came back carrying a large bundle of firewood.From afar, I could smell the smell of food at home, especially the vague smell of meat when I entered the yard, and my heart immediately became warm, and even the perennially horrified expression put on a smile.

"I'm back! Hurry up and wash your hands and put it on the table. I just made two bowls of dumplings and I can eat them later." Lin Baozhu looked through the window of the kitchen and saw the man's face covered with sweat. Look, before going out, he shouted, "By the way, go get some water back, the water in the water tank is almost used up."

Seeing his daughter-in-law ordering him to work naturally, Zhang Mandun's heart moved slightly, and he felt a strange sense of satisfaction, and even the expression on his face showed a bit of joy.But he didn't say anything, just carried the pole and bucket according to his wife's instructions and went out.

When he came back again, the smell of meat mixed with wild vegetables had already dissipated, and Lin Baozhu even brought the food into the house.Hearing Zhang Mandun enter the yard, he turned his head and smiled and told him to hurry into the house for dinner.

When the meat shuttle shepherd's purse dumplings were eaten, Lin Baozhu thought they were so delicious that she was about to cry.And Zhang Mandun, who had been eating hard, couldn't help but look at his daughter-in-law, with a hint of affection and love in his eyes, "Daughter-in-law, if you like to eat, when you go to the field later I'll get you some more, there are plenty of wild vegetables on the back mountain."

Speaking of Houshan, Lin Baozhu couldn't help becoming curious, and asked a few words inarticulately while biting the hot dumpling whole.

"It's not so dangerous, but there is a piece of land in our back mountain nest that does not freeze all year round, and it feels warm when you get close to it. There are several young people in the village who lived and died after entering the mountain nest. I didn't find any. In addition, before the drought the year before last, I heard that someone hacked to death a big boa constrictor in the mountain den. After that person sold the boa constrictor, the whole family suffered a catastrophe. It is said that there is a lot of evil in the mountain nest, and no one dares to go after a long time." Zhang Mandun said nonchalantly, seeing his daughter-in-law's puzzled face, he couldn't help pulling the corners of his mouth to show a half-hearted smile. "How can it be so evil? There are ferocious beasts in the mountain den, but they usually don't come to the village. People are afraid of them, and they are also afraid of crowds. Otherwise, why would those who don't hunt often go to the deep mountain cats, and return a cat. It’s been a few days. I think it’s because those young people went into the deep mountains and frightened the wild beasts, or encountered wolves looking for food, and they couldn’t run away. As for the big python, it’s just what everyone said. Following the rumors, it’s not bad to have snakes in our land, and pythons. However, there were indeed people who died in Xiatian Village the year before last, but that was because they exposed their wealth and were targeted by people, and they were robbed and killed secretly. At that time The six sons and I even directly swept away those bandits in Beiyunzhai."

When talking about bandits, Zhang Mantun suddenly paused, and his expression became a little uncomfortable.Why are so many people in the village afraid of him? Besides his evil spirit, isn't it because of his past as a bandit?But what could he do back then, only by ruining his reputation in this way, so that no one would cause trouble for his family, and he could shake up his eldest sister-in-law's family whom he had not contacted for a long time.

Speaking of the elder sister, apart from the death of his mother Wang, it was another scar on his heart.When he remembered how the elder sister's mother-in-law had said that he was worthless to his mother Wang, he wished he could punch the old woman there.If it wasn't for the patience of the elder sister, how could he let others bully his mother and sister?
I still remember how the eldest sister was treated harshly when she gave birth to her daughter, and how the eldest sister defended the family as a jerk when he went to support the eldest sister.Even, for the sake of that family, the eldest sister slapped him with her own hands, and threatened to tell him to get out and never show up again.

Lin Baozhu was listening vigorously, but saw that the man's face suddenly turned black, and even the hand holding the chopsticks had blue veins.That appearance seemed to have provoked him, making him wish he could break someone's neck a few times.

Xu Shi's thought was too bloody, Lin Baozhu couldn't help shivering, and then obediently picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.She didn't think that Zhang Mandun was outrageous for no reason, and she was afraid that there was something inside, but the man kept silent, so it was not easy for her to ask.

Zhang Mandun came back to his senses and glanced at Lin Baozhu who was eating, and saw that she didn't mean to ask questions, and there was no expression of disgust or disgust on her face, so he breathed a sigh of relief.After all, being a bandit is really not a glorious thing, not to mention that he also intentionally hid many things from her.

After dinner, Zhang Mandun was still gathering firewood in the yard, and he would split and stack firewood when he encountered a big tree branch.Lin Baozhu scooped up water to wash the dishes, and casually chatted with the men in the yard.

Looking at it, it really feels like an old married couple.

After washing the pots and bowls and sweeping the dark stove, Lin Baozhu moved the small bench to the yard to watch the man work.To be honest, it is really a kind of enjoyment to watch the man who only wears unlined clothes and his muscles burst out while chopping firewood work.

"Hey? What kind of branch is this?" Originally, he was busy fiddling with wild vegetables, but when he looked up, he saw Zhang Mandun picking up several branches and tying them together.If it's just the small seedlings that haven't grown into tea, maybe she has to taste it to tell if it's Baiguan tea, but looking at the branches in Zhang Mandun's hands, which are not considered tall, and the light green but thin leaves, which grow on the treetops The buds and leaves are slightly yellow and hang down with a bend, with a layer of tiny hairs growing on them.Just by looking at it, she could be sure that it was the white crown tea tree.
