big sister headed home

Chapter 20

Dou Hua put the barrel under the back wall of the house and forgot about it, "I never thought about going there." When she noticed, "it was more than ten days later." At that time, she didn't know about the bee colony. Has settled down in that barrel.

These days, there is nothing to do in the slack season. Dou Hua carries a bow and arrow on her back and a hatchet. She quietly went into the mountains with a bamboo basket on her back. Her purpose is to dig up valuable herbs and sell them for money. Early in the morning, after breakfast. Instructed several small housekeepers to 'go through the forest alone' and enter the mountain.

Thanks to her extraordinary five senses, she proudly avoided dangerous beasts along the way, except that the mountain road was difficult to walk, and there were more bugs. She carefully avoided other dangers, even if she encountered some pheasants and hares. She was not in a hurry to hunt, and the purpose of her trip was still to dig medicine.

As the weather gets warmer, the vegetation in the mountains turns green and sprouts. The depression of the winter world recedes, and they are dressed in green. Unknown flowers are scattered everywhere, and it is full of spring.Weeds and vegetables grow quickly after being moistened by the rain in the past few days. Those herbs are everywhere in the mountains.

Dou Hua walked all the way, while paying attention to the dangers around her, her eyes looked at the glowing plants around her. When she encountered those with strong white light and larger plants, she dug them out. She was lucky and even dug up a thumb tree. Thick and thin wild ginseng is the best thing in the mountains. This wild ginseng is different from other herbs that emit white light, but a faint golden light. Dou Hua sighed at her unique ability and felt more and more surprised .

Along the way, the harvest was quite fruitful. In less than half a day, the bamboo basket behind Dou Hua was half filled. What made her happy was that she found a few plants of foreign girls, and immediately dug them up with the roots and soil. Down and ready to plant in the yard.

Speaking of the fruit of the foreign girl, Dou Hua saw the fruit in the supermarket at the time, and thought the name was interesting. Looking at the paper-like things wrapped around the fruit, she thought it was artificially wrapped, but the salesperson told her She was born with it, she thought it was very interesting, bought some at home, and found out as soon as she ate it. This fruit is delicious, sweet and sour, and tastes very good. I like this taste, I go to the fruit store in the supermarket, and I will buy some when I see it.

Later, she also checked the information of this fruit on the Internet, and learned that this fruit was originally a wild fruit that grew on the mountain, and was later transplanted in the ground by people and cultivated on a large scale. This fruit also has a scientific name of sour Berries are called Lantern Fruits in some places, and there are quite a lot of names. The most interesting thing is that she has seen names like Flower Girl in some supermarkets.

By coincidence, she went to a classmate's house and saw the plant of this fruit in the field of her classmate's house. She even went into the field to observe it carefully, which left a deep impression on her, otherwise she would not have recognized this foreign girl Come.And this foreign girl itself has a certain medicinal effect, so there is white light around its plants, and it is easy for Dou Hua to spot them
The plants of the foreign girl are a bit big. After digging five, they took up more than half of the area of ​​the bamboo basket. Dou Hua raised her head and glanced at the sun. The sun was over her head. It was obviously already afternoon, so she started to return and hit one on the way. The pheasant, woven into a rope with grass, hung around the waist, avoided the beast's territory all the way, and returned along the original road carefully.

After nearly two hours, Dou Hua finally came out from the mountain. At this time, the sun was setting and it was evening.

After leaving the mountain, the road was much easier. Dou Hua stepped on her feet, striding forward through the woods towards home.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw Dou Qing leading the two little ones to look towards the mountain frequently.

Dou Hua's heart warmed up, it felt good to be missed by someone, she couldn't help but quicken her steps, "Qing'er, why are you here?"

"Eldest sister, you are back, we are all worried to death." Dou Lin said first.

"Sister, it's good that you come back safely." Seeing Dou Hua's safe return, Dou Qing's worry was wiped away.

"We're waiting for you here, big sister. I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm hungry." Dou Hong leaned forward and said.

"Don't wait here in the future, I know the way, I will go home, let's go, let's go home." Dou Hua said.

"Sister, uncle came over at noon and said he had something to look for you, but you were not here." Walking on the road, Dou Qing and Dou Hua talked about what happened during the day.

"Well, then why did you tell my uncle? I followed what you taught me, saying that you went to the county seat, and didn't say anything else." Dou Qing said.

"That's right, don't talk about my going into the mountain now, the uncles in the province are worried, you know? You two should also remember not to talk about it." Dou Hua instructed, she had told them all this before Anyway, she is a girl, she can go in and out of the mountain safely by herself, and if someone who cares knows, she might guess wildly. As for her uncle, she is not afraid of his wild thoughts, but mainly because he is worried.

"Eldest sister, we know about it, so we won't talk nonsense." The younger ones nodded one after another.

"Qing'er, did uncle say anything?" Dou Hua asked, wondering why her uncle would seek her out.

Dou Qing shook his head and said, "No, my uncle told you to go to his house after you go home. I think he is smiling, so it should be a good thing."

"You have to figure it out, you really are a big kid." Dou Hua joked.

"Eldest sister, you didn't see that uncle is very happy today, he is always smiling." Dou Lin said from the side.

"Oh? That's it. After dinner, I'll go to my uncle's house." Dou Hua said.

When Dou Hua and the others returned home, Dou Cui had already cooked the meal. After the meal, the pheasant that was brought in was handed over to Dou Qing, and the basket of herbs and a few foreign girls were let Dou Cui cool down first, so as not to cover it, and waited. She came back to tidy up.

Following a brief explanation, Dou Hua went out to Dou Sishan's house.

The courtyard door of Dou Sishan's house was open, and Dou Hua went straight into the courtyard and called out "Uncle~"

"Hua'er is here, come in quickly." Her aunt Li came out of the house and greeted Dou Hua with a smile.

"Auntie, have you eaten yet?" Dou Hua asked.

"I've eaten, I'll wait for you to come over." Mrs. Li smiled, and yelled towards the room, "Master, the flowers are here~"

Dou Hua followed Mrs. Li into the back room. Her uncle was sitting on the kang drinking hot water. He raised his head and said, "Hua'er, come here."

"Well, uncle, what do you want me for?" Dou Hua asked directly,

Dou Sishan slapped his thigh directly, and said happily, "Good thing, great thing."

"Yes, it's a happy event." Li Shi continued, "Dou Hua, it's your marriage. Isn't this a great happy event? It must be the third brother and third sister-in-law who blessed you in the spirit of heaven. I don't want you to be so happy." If you suffer, find someone to help you."

"Auntie, what marriage are you talking about? How come I don't know about my marriage?" Dou Hua was at a loss when she heard this. She didn't know when she had a marriage. The original owner didn't have it in her memory. When I was three or four years old, several families came to propose marriage. The original owner was 15 years old, and no one came to propose marriage.

"How do you know, isn't this just about to be arranged? Your sister-in-law Caiyun came over in the morning and told us that Erlang from the Jiang family in Jiangjiazhai had found you and was coming to propose marriage in a few days. She also said that you have met before." They know that the third brother and the others are gone, and there is no adult to make the decision, so they will tell us uncles and aunts in advance, Dou Hua, tell your aunt, when did you know such a family, how is the young man, what does he look like? How is it, how good is your character?" Li Shi said happily, with a happy look on her face, as if she was going to marry her daughter.

Three black lines appeared on Dou Hua's forehead, thinking of Jiang Ermeng, the idiot who gave her flowers, her heart became hot, and she couldn't help blushing, she really didn't expect the other party to be so anxious and make a move so quickly.

"He's like that, let's make a living." Dou Hua said casually.

"It's just like that, it's shameless, your marriage is a big deal, it's not a child's play, it's about your whole life." Dou Sishan said sternly, "Tell me about that young man, if he's not good enough, we won't respond. "

Dou Hua was speechless. She had only met Jiang Ermeng twice, so how could she know whether he was good or bad? Although her intuition told her that he should be a good person, how could she tell her uncle that she thought he was good? Well, the most important point is that she doesn't want to get married yet. After all, she is only 15 years old, 15 years old, and she is still Huaguduo. In her previous life, she was still in junior high school, but now she wants to talk about marriage. Accept incompetence.

"I've only met him twice, so I don't know what he looks like, but he seems to be good at hunting. He is tall and strong, about a head taller than me, and he looks good, not ugly." Dou Hua After finishing speaking, he said tactfully, "Uncle, I'm still young and I don't have time to get married, so don't worry too much."

Mrs. Li laughed as soon as she heard it, and said, "Still young? You don't even look at it. How many people are as old as you in the village? Which ones don't get married at fourteen, get married at fifteen, and even hold children in their arms?" Now, you girl is big-hearted, and you are not in a hurry."

"Your aunt is right. You are at the right age to talk about marriage. Even if you keep your filial piety and you don't get married this year, we can settle the marriage first. We can choose a good day in the spring of next year and we will do the marriage. Three The soul of brother and sister-in-law can also rest in peace." Thinking of the dead third brother and sister-in-law, Dou Sishan's face darkened for a moment, and then he said, "Don't worry, Hua'er, your uncle, I will definitely let you get married. "

"Uncle, I believe what you said, but have you ever thought that if I'm married, who cares about Qing'er?" Dou Hua said to the point.
