Chapter 47

"Mom, I miss you." Zhang Mandun choked up his sobs when he finished talking.Then, Lin Baozhu heard an indistinct sob.The whimpering seemed to be suppressed for many years, held in his heart and he was afraid to touch it and dare not look at it, but now his heart opened up and rushed to come out.

There are grievances, sadness, and unspeakable bitterness and pain that outsiders cannot understand
Seeing that man rarely looked lonely, Lin Baozhu couldn't help thinking of her relatives in her previous life, wondering what would happen if her master and parents found out that she had an accident.I don't know if the brothers and sisters comforted them and accompanied them.

Once the opening of memories is torn open, the hopes and thoughts suppressed in her heart are like a flood that has been released. No matter how peaceful and comfortable she lives here, she will never forget her relatives.Every night when the night is quiet, she will also dream about all kinds of things in the past, as if in a fog, she can only hear the earnest and loving calls of her parents, but every time she wants to answer, she will wake up from the dream.Thinking about it again brings tears to my face.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's tears falling down without listening, Zhang Mandun felt even more distressed.The daughter-in-law came here as a refugee, and she seemed to have said a few words about her life experience earlier, but he didn't know the specifics.It must be miserable to think about it, otherwise how could we not see her mentioning family, relatives and friends for so many days?
Thinking of this, the eyes he looked at his daughter-in-law became softer, and there was even some pity and love on the brows that had always been stern.No matter what kind of unsatisfactory life my daughter-in-law has lived, now that she is married to him, he must protect her from the wind and rain and hold up the sky.

The two have their own concerns, and it is not the time to worship, so there are not many people around, so it is naturally deserted.Fortunately, the two of them didn't have so many taboos, and they didn't feel that it was bad luck if they didn't come to the tomb for the Ghost Festival.So Lin Baozhu kowtowed directly, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I am Baozhu, Mantun's daughter-in-law. Don't worry, Mantun is capable and good. Since I married him, I will definitely spend my life with him." Well run."

Seeing his daughter-in-law's solemn appearance, Zhang Mandun was indescribably moved.Who would have thought that such a good daughter-in-law could be saved by a bowl of rice soup?Even though he spent two taels of silver to get married at the beginning, outsiders don't know, but he knows very well that they are not using the things they bought now?

In the end, Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mantun helped Mrs. Wang repair the grave and pull out the weeds. They didn't hold hands until it was getting dark and went home.This was also the first time that Zhang Mandun was so active, even when he met someone on the road, he never let go.It made Lin Baozhu blushed all the way, especially when she saw the joking eyes of the villagers, she was even more ashamed.

After returning home, Zhang Mandun poured hot water for his daughter-in-law to wash her hands and face, and wiped her face in a hurry.Only then did the two get together and start talking. In fact, Lin Baozhu was a little embarrassed at the moment.

At that time, she saw Zhang Mandun go crazy, wishing to strangle old man Zhang to death, she was really scared.In fact, she is not afraid of poverty in her family, nor is she afraid of traveling to such a feudal and closed mountain village. What she is afraid of is accidents to people close to her.In her opinion, everything can be solved, but if the person is gone, there will be no hope.

She doesn't understand the laws of this era, and she doesn't know how the officials will deal with Zhang Mandun's entanglement with the old man Zhang if a life-threatening incident arises.But just thinking about the possibility that her man might be sent to prison, beheaded, sentenced to death or beheaded like those shown on TV, she felt her heart tremble.

She felt very embarrassed when she thought of how her nose and tears were streaming down, and she even opened her mouth to bite her man's arm.How can I lose such a big ugliness, even thinking about my toes, I can know that I have no image at that time.

She took a peek at the man who was still washing the cloth towel, pursed her lips, stroked her hair awkwardly, and straightened her clothes.But when he didn't want to look up again, he saw a rough and generous hand handing over a cloth towel that was still emitting heat.

"Wipe your eyes again, or your eyes will be swollen in the future." Zhang Mandun seemed serious and even expressionless, but looking at him so closely, Lin Baozhu could easily see his embarrassment and embarrassment. A deliberately slow tone.

She curled her lips in satisfaction, thinking that this man is quite upright, looking at careless ones, he is really a must-have product for home travel.Even she didn't care about her red eyes from crying, but he noted it, and even washed the cloth towel for herself.

Anyway, no matter what she thought, she was still very happy when she wiped her eyes with a warm cloth at the moment.Maybe this is fate?It is said that Zhang Mandun is a vicious man with a reputation for viciousness, but he did not want to marry and found out that he is a capable and caring man.More importantly, this man is not authoritarian and will not look down on women.

Seeing his daughter-in-law covering her eyes and sighing comfortably, Zhang Mandun was relieved.He has no experience of eye pain, but he has seen a brother fight with his own wife back then, and the brother's wife cried and swollen her eyes, and the root cause of the disease would often be painful.It was also because of that little memory that he thought about letting his wife put his eyes on it, because the daughter-in-law didn't enjoy the blessings with him before crying with him and ruined her eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, take a rest first, I'll fetch some water, and then dig out the chicken coop and duck coop."

Speaking of digging out chicken coops and duck coops, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but sparkle. In fact, she was thinking of doing it by herself earlier.After all, chickens and ducks were raised, and there was chicken and duck droppings in the small nest, which smelled bad and was difficult to clean.Especially now that summer is approaching, if there is more rain, chicken droppings and the like may be washed all over the yard.But she tried it twice, and she couldn't bear the taste.

Xu Shi complained to his man that time, but he didn't expect him to remember it in his heart.In short, no matter how Zhang Mantun thought of helping her clean up the chicken coop, Lin Baozhu was extremely satisfied at the moment.

When Zhang Mandun filled the water tank, it was almost noon. Seeing that the sun was shining outside, Lin Baozhu simply packed up the mattresses of the two of them to dry them.Then I thought about drying the bracken to dry.

Speaking of it, Lin Baozhu's workmanship is good, and she can't help her with the work on the stove now.Seeing that the water in the iron pan was boiling, she put handfuls of washed fresh bracken into it and blanched it.Because fresh bracken has a bitter taste and it will smell bad when stored, so before drying it, she rolled the bracken in boiling water for a while.Seeing that it was almost done, he quickly fished out all the bracken.

When the bracken was out of the pot, she hurriedly took a shower with the cold water she had just brought.Seeing that the bracken that was still steaming a moment ago had completely cooled down, Lin Baozhu picked it up to drain the water.While draining the water, she went to the east room to get bamboo foil and firewood curtains, knocked the dust on them, and then spread the bracken on it.

After finishing these, the rest will be exposed to the sun.If this is done, it will be a rare item to sell out after the season.

It is also strange to say that most of the big guys know about dried vegetables and dried melons, but no one has dried this wild vegetable.Probably because this thing is everywhere, everyone is used to ignoring it.Or maybe the price of this thing is too cheap to sell, and it's not worth the trouble of big guys.But that's how it made Lin Baozhu, an outsider, cheaper.

No matter what, now she is holding a small bench while talking to her man, while starting to deal with the pig bones she just bought today and the pile of pigs sent by the boss.

Zhang Mantun was doing this work, beads of sweat on his forehead crackled down due to the heat, and he had to stop and wipe the sweat every once in a while to prevent the beads of sweat from getting into his eyes and stinging pain.

"While I'm at home, I'll go buy some seeds in a couple of days and order some early corn." Zhang Mandun finished shoveling the dung in the chicken coop, and then poured the small dung pile into the back basket, planning to carry it back into the mountains to Yangdi .

"Okay," Lin Baozhu poked her head in the shade to look at the sun in the sky, even so, she felt that it was really hot, and she was sweating profusely just now.I sighed silently in my heart, let alone the air conditioner and fan, it would be nice to be able to wear short-sleeved shorts.It's a pity, if you dare to show your arms these days, outsiders will say you're indecent.

Thinking of those spittle stars outside that could drown people, Lin Baozhu could only shake her head helplessly. Sure enough, nothing is as good as modern times.

She put the washed bones into the pot and boiled them, and washed some home-grown cabbages.Only then did the pigs start to be processed. It is said that most of the dirty things have been washed away when the butcher slaughtered the pork.Now she just uses some salt and vinegar to remove the fishy and peculiar smell.

In fact, her favorite way to eat pigs is stewed, but it’s a pity that there are not enough seasonings at home now, not to mention those stewed spices such as cloves, tangerine peel, grass fruit, fennel, kaempferen, white blue, and cinnamon.It's just that the fresh ginger and garlic that are usually used in hot pot are not prepared at home.

Stuffing a handful of matches into the small stove, Lin Baozhu sighed, sooner or later, all the spices will be ready.If she could, she wished she could buy a bunch of thirteen spices and other seasonings, but unfortunately it was unrealistic.It's not that she doesn't want to develop it by herself, but it's just for convenience at the beginning, how could she think of seeing what ingredients the thirteen incense is and how she made it herself.

Thinking about the messy things in my heart, I just put the marinated pig into the water and put her into the chili oil pan to burn it up.It is said that the chili oil came, and it was also because of the soybean paste sent by Aunt Ma that the aroma of the hot pot base was mixed by her.Cooked in this way, the spicy and delicious taste goes well with rice.
