Pick up a killer and farm together

Chapter 12 This Chicken Is Not Tasty

"I'm talking about the third daughter-in-law. These 49 eggs are only one tael of silver. Didn't your family divide ten taels of silver yesterday? Could it be that you spent all of it in one night?" Once Wu's confinement son entered the main house, he has always been very dissatisfied with Wu, so it is inevitable to say some sarcastic remarks at this moment.

Old man Liu didn't allow Mrs. Wu to say anything more, so he immediately said: "You hurry up and prepare the eggs today, and I'll set up lamps for Si'er tomorrow." After looking at Mrs. Zhong who was crying so hard that she almost lost her voice, she only looked at Liu Mingqiao He ordered: "Let your daughter-in-law go back and look after the children!"

Although his father was in charge, Liu Mingqiao and his wife had a knot in their hearts about this matter, but his father had already said so, so he didn't say much.

While Zeng's family and Mrs. Wang followed to persuade her, Mrs. Zhong stopped crying and went into the house to take care of Si'er.

Liu Ruchun glanced at the third aunt who was sitting on the ground deflated, and only sighed in her heart: Cherish life, stay away from Mrs. Wu!

And at night when Liu Mingrong came back from the field, knowing that his daughter-in-law had caused trouble, she spent one or two wronged money in vain, and asked her father to scold him, and had to apologize to the fourth family. He was in a panic, so it was inevitable that he would have a fight with Mrs. Wu.

So this night is another sleepless night.And Liu Zhao suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night, and Liu Ruchun and her father got up in the middle of the night to borrow fire to cook medicine for grandma's house. After all this ordeal, they were not able to fall asleep until dawn.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Mingrong went to the town to buy incense candles, while Wu went door to door to buy eggs, and they didn't get ready until evening.

Liu Ruchun had been watching his grandfather doing a few simple rituals in the corner, and finally took one of the 49 eggs and boiled it, and asked his mother to put it under Si'er's pillow, and made a lamp out of wheat flour. Put rapeseed oil in it, rub a wick with the cotton in the quilt, light it and put it on the bedside, and then it's over.

And the remaining 48 eggs were collected by grandma.

This matter came to an end, the vernal equinox was coming soon, and Liu Ruchun's family was also preparing to clean up the fields, so Liu Mingqiao had less time to go hunting in the mountains.

Liu Ruchun and her brother watched Si'er at home. At noon, Liu Ruchun's uncle came suddenly and brought him two taels of candy. Although Liu Ruchun didn't love him, he was happy.

Zhong Erlang looked at his sister's adobe house, where a lot of things were placed under the eaves, and the room was so crowded that there was no room for a table for eating. He couldn't help suggesting: "Didn't you divide the land? Or go out and build two tiles by yourself. Room."

Hearing this, Liu Mingqiao put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I think so too, but now that the vernal equinox has just arrived, the field work has to be busy for a while, and Si'er is still young, so I really can't get away from it."

Zhong Erlang naturally knew their difficulties, so he didn't say much, he just expressed his intention of coming: "I came today to discuss with you, take Brother Zhao to live with us, let him go to private school I study with my cousins."

The couple were a little surprised when they heard the words, and after looking at each other, Liu Mingqiao politely refused and said, "Second brother, we understand your kindness, but we owe you too much these years, so why would you let Brother Zhao go over and trouble you now?" Besides, it's not like you don't know that Brother Zhao's health is not good." Thinking of his son's physical condition, Liu Mingqiao couldn't help but feel deep sorrow floating on his brows.

Zhong Shi also sighed aside.

"It's because Brother Zhao is not in good health. I discussed with your sister-in-law and took him over." Zhong Erlang said, scanning the three boys of Liu Mingrong's family in the yard, and then at the one standing alone watching them play. Zhao'er, "Although they are cousins, they don't get along well. Why don't you follow me, have companions in school, and be close to getting medicine and so on."

It turned out that she was the only daughter in Zhong's natal family, and her parents left early. She was brought up by two elder brothers. Even if there are any good things, they are sent to her, so now that Zhong Erlang wants to take Liu Zhao over, her second sister-in-law naturally does not object.

The two of them also knew that what the second brother said was very true, but how could they bother, and Liu Zhao's medicine had always been collected from the mountains by himself, so how much money would it cost if he went to the pharmacy in the future?
Of course, it's not that they are reluctant to part with the money, it's just that the money was wronged.

Liu Ruchun thinks this is good. My brother is always bored at home alone, so the afternoon is not good after all, and he can still go to school when he goes to his uncle's house.

After a lunch, Zhong Erlang finally convinced Liu Mingqiao and his wife, Mrs. Zhong went to pack Liu Zhao's clothes, while Liu Mingqiao packed the herbs stored at home, the preparations were complete, the family said goodbye one by one, and when they left, Liu Mingqiao forced Zhong Erlang to return the money that he had given to Zhong Erlang, not even Shu Xiu, who went to school for his husband.

Although Liu Zhao didn't talk much, but there was one less person in the family, after all, it was much deserted.

Since there were only three pieces of land, it was useless for a few days, and everything that needed to be planted was planted. Liu Mingqiao started hunting in the mountains again, and the Zhong family was free to take care of the children. Liu Ruchun finally asked her father to take her up the mountain together.

Although he was born in this village, this was the first time for Liu Ruchun to go up the mountain, and it happened that there was a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon, and the mountain was full of sprouting mushrooms.

Only then did Liu Ruchun realize that it seemed that her father had never picked mushrooms back home, and he had never seen anyone in the village who had eaten such mushrooms, and seeing her father directly ignore these tender mushrooms and even stepped on one of them, really It was a waste, and it was a pity in my heart, "Father, you are stepping on mushrooms."

Originally, she wanted to tell her father that the mushrooms were edible, but then she found out, how could a baby who was only a few years old know that she could eat them?

Seeing her picking and putting those mushrooms into the basket, Liu Mingqiao couldn't help frowning, "That's no fun, it can poison people to death."

The childish little face was full of doubts, "How did Daddy know it was poisonous?" This is clearly a shiitake mushroom, how can it be poisonous to death!

This Liu Mingqiao can't come back, after all, he hasn't eaten it, but everyone doesn't pick it, so it must not be a good thing.In the end, he only said: "You stay here well, I'll go and see if I caught anything in the animal trap."

Liu Ruchun nodded, and happened to be picking mushrooms around here.After she had picked a full basket and hadn't seen her father come, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, but she didn't dare to move, for fear of missing her father, so she had to squat under the pine tree and wait.

But after waiting for about half an hour, she still didn't see her father come back, Liu Ruchun was really anxious now, and carried the basket with some difficulty to look for her father in the direction.

After walking through a small forest, she suddenly heard a swishing sound in front of her, thinking it was her father coming, and was about to open her mouth to shout, when a bloody hand suddenly stretched out in front of her eyes, covering her mouth , The whole person also asked the person who suddenly appeared behind him to be pulled into the forest, and the basket of mushrooms rolled down the hillside to the depths of the forest.
