When Mai Ya'er came to the door with Zhao Mengzi carrying a basket on his back.

Li Kongzhu was still a little dazed.It was Mai Ya'er who burst out laughing, "What's wrong, sister-in-law, you really think we are afraid."

As he spoke, he pushed her into the courtyard.Greeting his own man to follow in, he shouted towards the main house: "Brother Zhao, the head of the house is also here to help!"

Li Kongzhu pulled her aside and asked, "Isn't it just for you to help? What do you mean by that?"

"I just saw it!" Mai Ya'er waved his hand indifferently, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have discussed it with the head of the family. From now on, he will just follow Brother Zhao, and the hunting team will not go That's it. Just concentrate on doing this stuff!"

Seeing that she was about to speak, she quickly said in a low voice: "It was an accident last time. No one can complain. Besides, Brother Zhao will be here, so it is absolutely safe. I am not afraid at all!"

After finishing speaking, he patted her on the shoulder in an old manner, "I have a hunch, this time, I'm going to enjoy great blessings with you, sister-in-law!"

Li Kongzhu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.I wanted to say that there is no absolute safety in the world, but she ignored her and strode towards the main house.

He just shook his head and followed.

Zhao Mengzi told Zhao Junyi about going up the mountain.Zhao Jun didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed, but just looked at him indifferently to see if he had anything else to say.

Seeing this, Zhao Mengzi scratched his head nervously, "I know where the fruit land is. Third brother Zhao, take me with you. I will do it twice. If something happens, I will I can also raise an arrow and kill two to help you!"

"Let's go!"

The man got up suddenly.Zhao Mengzi, who was so surprised that he was about to finish speaking, froze for a moment.Seeing Third Brother Zhao looking up at him, he hastened to oh, oh, and tightened the rope of the basket.

Followed behind him and said respectfully: "Let's go!"

Li Kongzhu and Li Kongzhu sent their husband out of the hospital, and the man who fell asleep yesterday woke up again.

Li Kongzhu went over to feed him medicine and meat porridge, then asked Mai Yaer to find her father-in-law to help Cui Jiu go to the toilet.

With Zhao Hanshi's help, Cui Jiu went down to the wooden dry toilet in the backyard and squatted for a while.When I came back, it was too cold to bear!

Seeing him like that, Mai Ya'er helped him turn up the stove, put the pot of hot water on his bedside and said, "You can do it yourself!"

Cui Jiu raised his eyes and thanked her.He stretched out his white jade-like hand and placed it on the steaming kettle.

Mai Ya'er stared at his hands for a while.After coming out, he murmured to Li Kongzhu, "Looking at her hands are tenderer than that landowner woman who enjoys blessings, it can't be a big brother!"

"Who knows!" Li Kongzhu scraped his scalp with a needle.As for Cui Jiu, she didn't want to know at all, she just wanted him to get well soon and get out of here quickly.

He's been eyeing her since he woke up.If she hadn't been really annoyed by his sizing up, she wouldn't have humiliated him by reporting her family history yesterday.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Mai Ya'er stopped talking and found someone else to chat with.

Wait until it gets dark when the next ring is heard.Zhao Junyi and Zhao Mengzi came back carrying Shanlihong with a big basket on their backs. (It was mainly recited by Zhao Mengzi.)
At that time, Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er were making hand-rolled noodles. Seeing the two came back, they began to put the noodles into the bone broth and boiled them.

After several people had eaten, Zhao Mengzi went to the hut and carried Cui Jiu to the main house for a rest.

And Li Diaozhu called Mai Ya'er and his wife to go to the hut together to help.

The hawthorn is still peeled and pitted, the difference is that this time the fruit is put in sugar, steamed in a pot, and then taken out and mashed into a puree.

As for the laborious work of pounding the paste, I will naturally leave it to Zhao Mengzi.

Put the finely pureed hawthorn paste into the pot and cook until the water dries up.

Take out the big iron sheet you bought earlier, stretch the oiled paper on it and stretch it straight.Using a small blade, spread the sauce evenly on the oiled paper.

There is no oven, so it can only be dried naturally.

After Li Diaozhu finished making a few pieces of iron plates, he stopped making them.

He told Mai Ya'er and Zhao Mengzi where they put the iron plate in the air vent in the house.The furnace in the house was burned to the maximum in order to prevent the ice from freezing.

Li Diaozhu also decided to bury the wood in the stove for a while, so as not to keep the fire burning.

When everything is done, it is nighttime.

Before leaving, Zhao Mengzi carried Cui Jiuzhong back to the hut.

When Li Kongzhu sent them away, he cleaned his face quickly and rested.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Junyi got up and opened the door, and suddenly heard rustling sounds from the other side of the courtyard wall.

He stepped out calmly, and slowly walked towards the courtyard wall in a walking manner.

One step, two steps... When he was about to complete the distance of less than ten steps, he suddenly raised his head upwards.

There seemed to be a shadow in the darkness that quickly passed over the courtyard wall, followed by the sound of footsteps on the wall.

Zhao Junyi looked at the pair of big palms pawing on the wall, and indifferently twitched the corner of his mouth.Continue to complete the unfinished steps.

Stand at a place less than three palms away from the wall, and find the position of the person who is breaking the wall.The man reached out and began to knock on the wall.

"Boom, boom, boom!" It seemed that there was no force in the palm, but it made an extremely dull sound from the wall.

Hearing the heavy knocking on the wall, the person holding on to the wall thought he was holding something, just like Li Kongzhu did back then, and was about to knock the wall into pieces.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

With the louder and louder knocking sounded.The people on the other side of the wall trembled with fear.Thinking of Li Kongzhu knocking a hole in the wall with a big shovel at that time.The youngest probably wanted to knock on the wall and knock him into a serious injury too.

The more he thought about it, the more likely he was to pick up the wall, and he drank in a deep voice, "Third brother, you are crazy. The wall is going to be knocked down, can you pay to repair it or something?"

"Bastard bastard's a scumbag! You don't talk about raising others to eat and drink for free, and then you pull outsiders to start stealthily making things. Why, that bitch is just looking for it, but how can you wear it for you?" Green hat, you wear it even more cheerfully. Don’t forget the kindness of the old Zhao family in raising you, and in the name of the old Zhao family, you are a worthless person, and you still want to add green light to our old Zhao family’s grave!"

Zheng Shi over there couldn't help jumping and scolding.

Zhao Yinsheng, who was leaning on the wall, turned pale with fright, and called Zhao Jinsheng, "Brother, come quickly and lend me a shoulder to support me, so I can get down."

"Bang bang!"

Two loud noises made Zhao Yinsheng let go of his hand with a cry of "Ah!"It fell to the ground suddenly.

Mrs. Zhang, who was waiting next to him, saw it, and quickly helped him up in a muffled voice.

Zhao Jinsheng also glanced at the wall with some unknown meaning.

Only Mrs. Zheng was startled at first and thought it was the wall that opened.When I got closer, I saw nothing.

Then he pinched his waist and shouted: "Zhao Junyi! You bastard, you don't want to listen to it, do you? If you dare to let your coquettish woman be corrupted, be careful and we will go tomorrow Invite the elders of the clan and drive you out. Let you lose your identity and household registration, and then become a refugee and serve as a dog slave to others!"

Zhao Junyi on the other side of the wall squinted his eyes.He curled the corner of his mouth coldly, knowing that he was so frightened that he fell off the wall, so he turned around and prepared to go back to the house without making any sense.

Li Diaozhu woke up when Zheng scolded, put on his coat and went out to watch.Seeing that Zhao Junyi was knocking on the courtyard wall with his palms, the sound was quite loud, and he thought he would crack it.

How can I think it's just a show!

Seeing him turn around, he completely ignored the Zheng family who was scolding him for being sent by heaven.

He came out with raised eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?!" He looked down at her.Afraid of being kicked out without a household registration?Suigou sneered and said, "They don't have this ability yet!"

He had already settled into a single household when the family was separated, so what he wanted to do did not involve the involvement of the eldest and second family members.Coupled with the old guys in the Zhao family, it is even more impossible to take care of this matter!
"?"

Zhao Junyi let her into the room, not intending to explain further.

Seeing this, Li Diaozhu stopped asking about his thoughts.As long as she is not expelled from the village, she is too lazy to care about the rest!

After closing the door and going to the kang, she lay on the bed and listened to Mrs. Zheng who was still cursing outside, so she couldn't help but murmured, "It's better to knock down the courtyard wall and maim them!"

In the dark, the man reminded indifferently, "If you smash it, it will really win their hearts!"

In the future, it will go back and forth without hindrance.

This is true!Li Diaozhu thought about it, and he also felt that it was reasonable.Pulling the quilt and closing his eyes noncommittally, Mrs. Zheng, who was still jumping outside, continued to scold...

The next day, Mai Ya'er and Zhao Mengzi came early.

Li Kongzhu led the two of them to the hut.Go to see if the hawthorn that is drying is good.

Uncover the hawthorn slices that have condensed into flakes.

Try cutting it into thin and soft hawthorn strips, and sprinkle some sugar on top with malt.

Immediately, the slender hawthorn strips were covered with icing sugar.Red and white, very pretty.

Mai Ya'er took the sticks into his mouth and licked them.Smacking his mouth, he smiled and narrowed his eyes and said: "It's really delicious. Ice is cold, sour and sweet. Chewing white sugar is as crunchy as chewing snow. You can feel much better after eating."

Li Kongzhu smiled and nodded, "Girls who love sweets are gentle. It seems that Ya'er is a gentle woman!"

"You're just kidding me!" Mai Ya'er patted her resolutely.

Zhao Hanshi on the side smiled and nodded, "My daughter-in-law has always been gentle!"

"Pooh!"

Seeing his daughter-in-law blushing and poohing himself, Zhao Mengzi was not annoyed.I scratched my head and asked if I should continue to do it today.The fruit in the basket is less than halfway down.

Li Diaozhu nodded, "Let's try making fruitan skin today!"

I don’t have an oven, so I’ll try to bake it on an iron plate later to see if it works.

Mai Ya'er nodded and believed her as usual: "It can be done, it can be done for sure!"

Li Kongzhu patted her with a smile, and told him and Zhao Mengzi to sort out the fruit first.

And she went to the main house with the hawthorn sticks, ready to give them to the two men in the house to try.

Although Cui Jiu still sleeps deeply during the day, he can last half the morning.

Seeing Li Diaozhu coming in with a red strip, Cui Jiu's eyes flickered.

Seeing that she handed the red strip to Zhao Sanlang over there first, he asked curiously: "Is this the one hanging in my room last night?"

Li Kongzhu saw him wearing Zhao Junyi's padded clothes, sitting leaning against the wall.So I handed him the note, "Try it?"

"Hmm!" Panting, he raised his hand to take one, and slowly put it into his mouth.The taste surprised him, "It's not bad! It's quite delicious!"

Li Kongzhu raised his eyebrows with a faint smile, he was praised by him.

Over there, Zhao Junyi also put two into his mouth.After finishing eating, he looked at her and asked, "But do you want help?"

Rarely did he take the initiative, but Li Kongzhu shook his head, "You're too stupid now. I don't need your help!" Although Zhao Mengzi is not as fast as him, but fortunately he has the strength and strength. , she is not worried.

Seeing that what she said was very natural, Zhao Junyi couldn't help but twitched his lips.He lowered his eyes, hiding the light that inadvertently flowed out of his eyes.

On this day, Li Diaozhu and the others tried to shape the fruit skin.

Although it is not as bright and beautiful as the thing in the previous life.But at least it was successful.

Wrap the thick ones into rolls and cut them into short and thick ones to make hawthorn rolls.The thin ones are stretched directly into long strips and wrapped in fruit leather.

After finishing, look at the two piles on the oiled paper.Li Kongzhu felt an indescribable sense of pride.

In her previous life, she had never been so diligent about manual work, and she thought that the devil would be willing to spend that energy and waste time on things that could be bought.

Now it seems that it is better to do it yourself, which can make people feel happier!
Mai Ya'er was also very happy, took a piece and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and sighed: "Sister-in-law, why are you so good. I'm almost in admiration!"

"What's so great about me, it's not because of your help that I tried to make it." She said while taking out two pieces of cut oil paper, and put the hawthorn roll and the fruit skin in two equal paper bags.

Mai Ya'er disagreed and said: "Although we have done our best, if it weren't for your brain. Even if we are powerful, there is no way to use it. In the final analysis, it is sister-in-law. Your brain looks different from ours! "

Li Kongzhu stuffed the paper bag into her arms in a funny way and said: "The head looks different, so what kind of head am I?"

Mai Ya'er chuckled, "It's just a smart head!"

"Okay, don't be poor, these two packs, one pack is for my second uncle and second aunt to take back and try something new. The other pack is sent to the head of the house for me, tell him, it's about to ring, I haven't got lunch yet , I have to make medicine for a patient later, so I won’t deliver it myself!” Li Kongzhu patted her lightly, and ordered her to help.

Mai Ya'er didn't pretentiously turn it down to her family.Nodding his head and holding the two paper bags firmly, he urged his man to go and help carry him back.

Then, with a greeting, he went home.

Li Kongzhu, who sent away Mai Ya'er and his wife, saw that it was already half past noon, so he simply baked pancakes.

Bake the pancakes a little too much.When you can't finish eating, heat it again and cook a simple egg drop soup, which can be used as dinner again...
