Abandoned Wife Pastoral General Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 3 Mother I Love You
Lin Xi cheered in her heart.Thinking of those Chinese herbal medicines I saw when I was looking for something to eat in the forest, I got rich, I got rich!Ha ha.

"What are you talking about foolishly by yourself?" The corners of Zhang Qijie's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help reaching out to tap Lin Xi's forehead.

"What?" Lin Xi opened a pair of big confused eyes.

Mother is not really stupid, is she?The little guy anxiously stretched out his short hand and shook it in front of Lin Xi's eyes.

"Mother is thinking about something. It's okay." Lin Xi hugged the little guy and looked at Zhang Qiyun: "Uncle, can you make the cage you made this morning longer?"

"Sure, what do you want this for?" Zhang Qiyun was curious.I thought to myself, did Mrs. Zhang hit her head with a stick to be smart?

"It's useful. Keep it secret first, then you'll see it." Lin Xi put on a trick.

After eating and drinking, everyone moves together.Zhang Qijie, the only scholar of the Zhang family, was unexpectedly also in the team.Each carries a water bag, a bamboo basket, and a small hoe.Lin Xi put a folded sack on the bottom of the basket, and carried the little one in the big basket.Then he took a water bag and a small hoe and walked to the front of the team.

The little guy was lying on the side of the basket with a smile, looking left and right, lying on Lin Xi's shoulder and whispering to his ears:

"Mother, let's go up the mountain to find money, and find a lot of money."

"Yes, we all go to the mountains to collect money, buy new clothes for our babies, buy meat to eat, and earn a lot of money. How about you be a little rich man?" Lin Xi teased her son while looking for something sweet. Picked herbs.Looking up from a distance, I saw a large area of ​​white flowers in front of me, like a yellow and white gauze belt wrapped around the mountainside.There is a little white in the green, which is too beautiful to be absorbed.

"Auntie, let's go over there and have a look." When Lin Xi first went up the mountain, Lin Xi was still a little nervous. What if Uncle Zhang and the others were wasted all afternoon?
There are so many.Lin Xi's eyes were shining brightly, she just missed saying, here I come for money!

Put the big basket in a cool place, and tell the little ones to play in the basket.He took out the big cloth bag and briefly introduced two methods of harvesting honeysuckle, one for buds and the other for blooming.Everyone act independently.

Lin Xi quickly tied her hair into a bun.With one hand pinching the bag, with the other hand picking quickly.The moment he straightened up and wiped his sweat with his sleeves, he found that Aunt Zhang's back basket was full.

Sure enough, the masters are among the people.Lin Xi exhaled lightly, then lowered her head and picked it up again.

The mountain breeze is gentle, and the sun is going west.Several hours passed, and when everyone picked the last flower bone together, they looked at each other and laughed.

The little guy had already crawled out of the basket by himself, and was picking unknown yellow flowers.

"Baby, what are you doing?" Lin Xi unscrewed the mouth of the water bag, and drank a big mouthful of water with his head upside down.

"Mother, this is for you, Huahua." The little guy swung his arms and ran crookedly in front of Lin Xi.Holding up the light yellow flower, looking up at the little head, the little face is flushed, and the big bright eyes are open.

"Thank you baby, my mother likes it very much!" Lin Xi took the flowers in surprise, bent down and picked up the little guy, smacking her left and right cheeks.

The little guy held Lin Xihong's big face with both hands, and kissed back twice.

Only then did Lin Xi pay attention to the flower on her hand. Isn't this the Astragalus flower?

"Where did you pick it, baby?" Lin Xi asked gently.

"That's right there." The little guy stretched out his little hand and pointed straight to the side of the enlarged basket.

"Come on, let's go and have a look!" Lin Xi walked to the shade with her son in her arms.I saw that the hillside here is covered with astragalus with small flowers. "Baby, mother loves you so much." Lin Xi was overjoyed and kissed her son's flushed face fiercely.He proudly thought that his son was really his lucky star.

"Uncle, the medicine of Astragalus membranaceus is used at the root, be careful not to damage it." Lin Xi held a small hoe, lowered her head and took out a thick Astragalus proficiently.

This is simply a great surprise.

The three brothers of the Zhang family ran back and forth for a few days, and joined the team of digging astragalus.The little guy ran here for a while, and ran there for a while, helping out here, packing bags there, and he was very busy.

"Dog, you're really capable." Aunt Zhang smiled and looked at the little guy who was frolicking back and forth, her eyes fixed on Lin Xi who was digging Huang Qi with her head turned away from her.What a wonderful girl's family, I don't know which villain who was struck by thunder destroyed her.I hope God has eyes, let her meet a lover who loves her and treats her well, accepts the dog, and treats the dog as his own.Someone sitting far away at the border sneezed for the first time.His slender fingers with well-defined knuckles touched his straight nose: Is the sky going to change?
Lin Xi felt that someone was watching her all the time, so she suddenly turned her head, looked around but found nothing, then lowered her head to dig again.Aunt Zhang had already lowered her head when she turned her head, sorting out the astragalus that had been dug.

The little guy twisted his caterpillar-like eyebrows, looked at his hands in confusion, and muttered, "One, two, three. Seven bags."

Suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xi with a smile, and shouted loudly: "Qibao, right, mother." The red face clearly said, "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly. I got the count right." A little smug look.

"Baby, you performed really well today. Not only did you help us with the work, but you also learned to count. Mom gave you a thumbs up, keep going!" Lin Xi proudly extended her thumb.

"I will work hard! Mommy, I like you! You have found so much money." The little guy also extended his thumb.

"The dog is awesome! I'll add eggs to you tonight." Aunt Zhang who was sitting on the side smiled and looked at the mother and son who praised each other.

"Grandma, I have a name, you can call me Chen Bao, or baby." The little guy corrected him solemnly.

As the saying goes, if a man and a woman are well matched, work is not tiring.The six people have a reasonable division of labor: one group cleans, one group trims the fibrous roots, and the other group spreads out the water to drain.The little guy also ran back and forth happily holding a few astragalus roots.

The huge backyard was filled with astragalus.The honeysuckle had to be spread out in a long dustpan, overlapping several thick layers.

"Brother, go out with me!" Things are done.Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Lin Xi was only thinking about the loach in the river.Besides, the chicken intestines are ready.He cut two more pieces with scissors, put them in a small broken bowl, and put them in a wooden barrel.

"Mother, I'm going too." The little guy threw himself into Lin Xi's arms like a firecracker, hugged her legs tightly, and looked up at her eagerly.Lin Xi originally thought that he was tired all afternoon and asked him to rest early.After all, she was too young to watch her heart ache.He really couldn't bear this poor little appearance, so he nodded.

As a result, the agreed two-person trip became a three-person trip.That's good, lest others gossip, after all, they are not brothers and sisters.

Zhang Qilin held a wooden barrel with chicken intestines and a small hoe in his left hand, and a half-sized bamboo basket on his right arm.Lin Xi followed the little guy out the door.

Go out and turn left.After crossing several field paths, Lin Xi came to the side of the ditch.

"Brother, wait a minute." Lin Xi called Zhang Qilin to stop.Zhang Qilin just kept his head down and hurried on his way.Hearing Lin Xi's call suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked back.

After Zhang Qilin put down his things, Lin Xi stuffed the little guy into Zhang Qilin's arms.I carried a long bamboo basket and walked to the ditch, rolled up my trousers and sleeves, tested the softness of the soil, separated my legs and fixed them on both sides of the ditch, squatted down and pushed the basket mixed with the soil forward, so that I was lifted up. stand up.Holding the sides of the basket with both hands, the bottom of the basket rippled in the water.Only then did he stretch his head to look into the basket.I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I look at it: there’s more than half a bowl of loach, isn’t that crimson crayfish?Lin Xi grabbed the crayfish's pincers and lifted it out.

"Sister, throw it away quickly, pincers." Zhang Qilin looked at it and shouted anxiously at Lin Xi, "There is no meat, and no one in the village will touch them."

You don't even look at who I am.She secretly rolled her eyes: I am no stranger to this crayfish.There are many ponds and ditches in the countryside.My mother is a good cook.She can not only cook, but also make good wine.

Lin Xi didn't dare to guarantee other dishes, but this crayfish.Not to mention ten points, I think I have learned at least eight or nine points from being with my mother.I don't know if I can go back, alas, Lin Xi sighed heavily.

Zhang Qilin was taken aback, thinking that Lin Xi had been pinched by a crayfish.Three steps and two steps rushed over.His eyes were fixed on Lin Xi's hand grabbing the crayfish.

"I will. Let's go, first go to the river to see the situation." Lin Xi threw the crayfish into the basket, smiled at them, picked up the basket and walked in front of them.

"There's meat to eat!" The little guy waved his hands excitedly.

"Follow mother and have meat to eat." Lin Xi turned around and smiled at the little guy.The little guy is so thin, he has to speed up his pace of making money, the fat little bun is even cuter.

"Follow mother and have meat to eat." The little guy put his hands around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted.

I didn't see anyone along the way.Lin Xi deliberately avoided it.After all, the more people there are, the more troubles will come.

Lin Xi walked back and forth for more than ten meters by the peaceful river.Finally, I chose a place that is not easy to be found and dense with aquatic plants.On the sand half a meter away,

She dug a pit the size of a wooden barrel with a small hoe, sprinkled the prepared crushed chicken intestines, and dug a small ditch along the pit, leading directly to the river.Worryingly spread grass on the pit.

She poured all the loach and shrimp in the basket into the wooden barrel.Only then did I walk to the edge of the promising river ditch, which was a fork in the river just enough for baskets to be placed.Putting down the basket, Lin Xi picked up stones to plug the gap between the two sides.

Zhang Qilin already understood Lin Xi's intentions, so he found a branch as thick as an arm from somewhere, and beat the water on the other side of the river vigorously.

The little guy found a small stone and handed it to Lin Xi.Lin Xi took it with a smile: There is a sense of pride that my family has a child growing up!
A few minutes after the slapping of branches and the attack of stones, Lin Xi told the little guy to stand there and not move.I ran to the place where the basket was placed, clenched my hands and lifted it vigorously: it was so heavy.Zhang Qilin took over immediately.

The harvest is really a lot.There were actually two grass carp weighing two catties, three silver carp weighing one catty, and the others were small fish such as crucian carp and carp.There are also some small river prawns.

"A lot of fish!" The little guy smiled until his eyes narrowed, revealing a row of neat little teeth.

"Baby, let's go home and eat a whole fish feast." Lin Xi hugged the little guy with great interest.

"Sister, I really don't mean to offend you. This fish has a fishy smell, and fewer people in the village eat it." Zhang Qilin struggled for a long time, but couldn't help but say.

"Brother, trust me, just wait and eat the fish." Lin Xi can now foresee the expressions of Uncle Zhang's family seeing the fish.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the yard, Aunt Zhang and the others surrounded him, blaming Zhang Qilin for not stopping Lin Xi.This thing is fishy and not tasty, and the shrimp has no meat at all.

Cleaning the crayfish, dissecting the fish, and cooking were all done by Lin Xi alone.She deliberately asked Aunt Zhang to watch all the operation procedures clearly.

The men were still thinking about whether they should order another noodle for a makeshift meal.

When Aunt Zhang put a big pot of garlic-scented crayfish on the dining table, the eyes of several people lit up, sniffing, you looked at me, I looked at you, unbelievable.Then Lin Xi put a large bowl of pickled fish on the table with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, three brothers, please try this fish and shrimp. See how it tastes?"

The little guy leaned over half of his body, sniffed hard, looked into Lin Xi's eyes seriously and said, "Mother, you are amazing!" Lin Xi took some fish fillets and put them in a bowl, and carefully stabbed them. , and then put it into the little guy's small bowl.The little guy stood on a tall chair, holding a small iron spoon and eating in small bites.Suddenly the little guy closed his eyes, and Lin Xi was startled, "Is there a fishbone, quickly open your mouth to show mother." "Mother, I'm so happy! Yuyu is delicious!" He opened his eyes quickly, opened his hands, and hugged Lin Xi's neck.

"Scared to death. Mommy." Lin Xi's little heart was pounding, this guy.Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

Then he reached out and took a shrimp, twisted off the pliers, twisted off the head of the crayfish, peeled off the tail of the shrimp along the belly of the shrimp, and pulled out the meat of the shrimp.Pass it to the little guy's mouth, "Taste it quickly." The little guy opened his mouth, took a small bite, and said inarticulately, "It smells so good, mommy, you can eat it too." He took the shrimp with his little hand and gave it away. To Lin Xi's mouth.Lin Xi accepted it with a gentle smile.

"This fish has no fishy smell at all. It is fresh and tender. The pickled cabbage is sour and delicious." Zhang Qiyun couldn't help boasting after tasting a few mouthfuls of pickled cabbage fish, "Thank you, girl."

"This shrimp tastes really good. It's full of fragrance. It's the best." After Zhang Qijie finished eating gracefully, he directly extended his thumb.

After scrambling to stuff some fish with chopsticks, Aunt Zhang paused: "Girl really has you, it's so delicious. I can't stop."

"Eat more if you like it." Lin Xi thought that there were still three fish in the bucket, so he would catch more fish tomorrow.

After the meal, they saw a pile of shrimp shells piled up in front of everyone, and then looked at the two empty pots, even the seasonings were not spared.What a sense of accomplishment.Lin Xi is beautiful in her heart!

Watching everyone rubbing their swollen stomachs and laughing contentedly.The little guy kept rubbing his little belly, and said repeatedly, "Mother, this is not a dream. Chen Bao has never eaten such a good meal." As he spoke, he slapped and slapped into Lin Xi's arms.

"Baby, it's not a dream. Didn't mother tell me to let the baby eat meat every day." Lin Xi gently hugged her son and slowly rubbed his belly.

A few minutes later, Aunt Zhang Lin Xi cleaned up the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.

Lin Xi poured water and prepared to bathe the little guy.

Without a change of clothes, Lin Xi always felt that her body smelled of sweat, so she was so kind!
She knew that this dress belonged to the future sister-in-law.It's the fault of lack of money again.

In the bathtub, the little guy was smiling and playing with the water.Lin Xi sat on the small plate, rubbing the soap horns with both hands, rubbing out the bubbles, then rubbing her son's hair and gently pressing it, "Baby, mother is going to help you wash your hair, this is how you want it." She said doing it herself He showed him a leaning posture.Seeing the little guy nodding, he hugged his son, let his body lie on his lap, supported his son's head, and rinsed it off.After testing the water temperature of the tub, he wiped his son's hair with a dry cloth.

After applying bubbles all over her son's body, she gently scrubbed her son's small body with a short cloth.The little guy dodged left and right, giggling.Lin Xi used it after washing.

Wrap the little guy in a long dry cloth, wipe off the water droplets on his body, and help him put on the new little clothes.The little guy was grinning, if Lin Xi hadn't pressed the button, he would have been circling on the bed.

"Baby, be good. I'm too full tonight. If I turn around, my stomach will feel uncomfortable." Lin Xi smacked at her son's small face.

"Mother, I like you!" The little guy quickly got into the quilt after speaking.
