"Lily. The eldest grandmother muttered, "It seems that I haven't eaten wild lily pot local chicken for a long time, I have local chicken, but wild lily doesn't." ”

"Wild lily?" Liu Qingshan was stunned, he didn't expect that the eldest grandmother actually wanted to eat this thing.

Liu Qingshan also ate some wild lilies when he was a child, but he really couldn't taste anything.

However, since the eldest grandmother wants to eat, then he must be satisfied.

He said: "Grandma, then you wait, I'll go and dig wild lilies for you now, dig them back, let's cook chicken for you to eat." ”

"Huh?" Grandma didn't expect Liu Qingshan to take it seriously.

By the time she could react, the kid had already trotted out of the house.

"Qingshan, I'll just talk about it. The eldest grandmother said hurriedly.

Liu Qingshan waved his hand and ran out without looking back: "Grandma, you can wait for me at home." ”

Wild lilies may be hard to find in autumn and winter, but in spring and summer, they are easy to find.

Although the leaves of this thing are also green, its shape is relatively unique, so it can be easily found even if it is placed in a green bush.

Another is that the holy white flowers that bloom from wild lilies are a unique existence in the mountains.

White colors are common, but trumpet-shaped patterns are rare, so it's not difficult to find.

Liu Qingshan took a hoe and went straight to the mountain.

As soon as I arrived in the mountains, I met Agui's mother who was digging rhododendrons.

Seeing that Qingshan had also entered the mountain, Agui's mother hurriedly straightened up and greeted, "Qingshan." ”

Liu Qingshan stepped forward and saw that Agui's mother had dug up some azaleas, but there were not many of them, so he frowned and asked, "Auntie, is it getting harder and harder to dig stone flowers now?"

Agui's mother shook her head a little embarrassed: "No, it's still easy to dig." ”

"Then ......" Liu Qingshan pointed to the azaleas on the ground and asked, "Why did you dig up two?"

Agui's mother glanced at the stone flower on the ground and sighed: "Alas, I'm not in a good mood today, and I'm a little distracted, so, hey, ......"

Seeing Gui's mother sighing one after another, Liu Qingshan became more and more puzzled: "Auntie, what's wrong?

"Alas, I don't know what's going on, Agui's learning has become very bad now, the teacher called me, saying that Agui is ranked third from the bottom in the test, and he can't answer the questions he usually asks, and he always copies other people's homework, alas, I don't know what happened to this kid? ”

Listening to Agui's mother's words, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Auntie, it turns out that you are because of this reason." Haha, isn't it just that his studies have regressed, the little boy is greedy for fun, and it is normal for him to occasionally not be able to keep up with the progress of other classmates, and when he figures it out himself, he will definitely catch up. ”

However, Agui is not the kind of playful child. Agui's mother said worriedly, "He has been very sensible since he was a child, and he always runs home from school, just to be able to rush back to help with some housework, and he never walks and plays like other children." Moreover, he also knows that the opportunity to study is not easy to come by, so he has always worked very hard, he is serious in class, he is also serious in exams, and he has always been in the top three in the class, but suddenly he regressed to the last few, and I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Liu Qingshan didn't think anything.

Because, he himself is a scumbag.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Ah Gui's mother wrinkled her brows and said, "Ah Gui is a kinder person, you say, was he bullied by other classmates at school." There are a lot of such news on TV now, some of them are bullied because they are better than others, and some of them are bullied because of their incompatible personalities, anyway, today's children are too precocious, and I am a little worried about whether Agui was bullied by others at school. ”

Seeing that Agui's mother was worried, Liu Qingshan proposed: "Auntie, then don't do it, you can dig your stone flowers with peace of mind, I am free this afternoon, I will go to the school to pick up Agui, and by the way, I will help you see what is going on." ”

Agui's mother was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Thank you so much, Qingshan, I don't even know what to say." ”

"Hey, thank you, I'm idle and have nothing to do anyway. Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "Then Auntie, you can work with peace of mind, and I'm going to be busy too." ”

After saying goodbye to Gui's mother, Liu Qingshan continued to go to the mountains.

Although wild lilies are easy to identify, they are not easy to find because of stock problems.

Liu Qingshan carried a hoe all the way and walked along the stream from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

According to his memories of previous years, in this mountain, he should be able to meet a few wild lilies.

However, it backfired, and I walked all the way to the mountainside, and I didn't find the wild lily.

The reason for this is probably related to land reclamation.

Originally, this mountain was a barren slope, but in recent years, the villagers have planted cedar trees, so the wild lilies have disappeared.

Looking at the cedar trees in the mountains, it is not difficult to see that at some point in the future, the mountain people will definitely be rewarded with tens of thousands of yuan for their hard work.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan didn't know whether he should be happy for everyone or unhappy.

Somewhat tangled.

Looking at these hillsides that had been cultivated for a few years, he was a little lonely, so he had to turn around and continue walking.

The forest edges on both sides of the trail are already overgrown with ferns and other wild grasses, as well as some azaleas that are scorching and blooming. Walking quietly in it is like walking into a colorful and vivid landscape oil painting hanging between heaven and earth, which makes people feel refreshed.

Of course, the most joyful thing is to count the wild lilies. Because that's what it's for today.

Therefore, when Liu Qingshan found wild lilies in a relatively steep gable, the whole person immediately became much more energetic.

Lilies, especially wild lilies, never grow the flowers of a single tree like other flowers.

A bush of wild lilies can have multiple trunks, but each trunk never grows side branches.

Therefore, on a main trunk, four or five palm-sized trumpet flowers can grow, but not a tree's trumpet flowers.

Every year in April and May, the lilies are in full bloom. As soon as the lilies bloom and walk around it, you will be able to smell the fresh fragrance of flowers, and the gust of fragrant wind will definitely provoke colorful butterflies to dance.

As a result, colorful butterflies and snow-white lilies are staggered, like mountains and brocades, bright and dazzling.

In early summer, when the sun is abundant, the lilies grow quickly, comparable to the development rate of adolescent boys and girls.

If you pay close attention, you can see that the flower stem of the lily is straight and straight, from the time the flower blooms until it withers and withers. And it's a tender green color, which is even more eye-catching. Lilies, no vines and no branches, alone, leaves, stamens, petals are distinct, so neat, so simple, so elegant.

Especially in the midsummer afternoon, if there were any other flowers, they would have already withered into a ball, but the lilies did not, still standing in the sun, stretching out their slender green poles against the scorching sun. Not only that, but when the wind comes, the rich fragrance will also blow with the wind.

The petals of the lily are also surprisingly long. The feather-like five or six petals are gathered together, presenting a sense of boundless compactness, like the bulging edges and corners of a hydrangea. The tips of its petals, which either hook in or bend outwards, look so contradictory. In addition, its stamens are black and white, and the black stamens are dotted with small white spots the size of rice grains, which is very chic, revealing the shyness of a little woman.

Liu Qingshan walked to the lily, admired it carefully, and was a little reluctant, but thinking that these guys were vigorous, even if they were cuttings, they could survive, so he first cut off the flower stem of the lily, then dug out the bulb, and then cut the flower stem into several sections, and re-cut it back into the ground.

When I returned to my grandmother's house with the lily bulbs, my grandmother had already boiled hot water.

"Grandma, look, so much. Liu Qingshan threw the lily bulbs he dug up to the ground.

The eldest grandmother looked at these fresh lily bulbs, and her eyes were straight: "Qingshan, you have dug too much." ”

This child, she just casually mentioned that he actually dug up more than a dozen bulbs and came back, which was very similar to her husband.

It was the same back then, as long as she said what she wanted to eat, her husband, who died young, would find a way to find it for her.

"No more, no less. Liu Qingshan grabbed his head and laughed, "As long as it's a big grandma, you don't like it, there aren't many, so, what should we do next?"

"I'm boiling the water, you go kill **." The eldest grandmother said lightly.

Liu Qingshan's face was hot, and he said embarrassedly: "Hehe, that, grandma, I don't dare to kill chickens." ”

"Huh?" The eldest grandmother looked at the tall green mountain in front of her in surprise and smiled, "Haha, you are so big, you don't dare to kill chickens?"

Liu Qingshan: ......

Because Liu Qingshan didn't dare to kill chickens, he could only call his second uncle for help.

The second uncle was very surprised to see that the eldest grandmother actually opened the courtyard door to let Qingshan in, and was willing to meet Qingshan.

He was the only one who knew the truth, so he was even more surprised when he saw that the eldest grandmother could already talk and laugh with Aoyama.

However, he was also glad that his eldest aunt had finally come out of the shadows. She can face everything bravely, which is a great relief for everyone.

The chicken was killed, a piece was chopped, and Liu Qingshan's wild lily was also washed.

Fresh wild lily pot chicken may not have the fragrance of dried lily, but it will have a sweet taste.

And this sweet taste is not found in dry lilies.

When the chicken soup was stewed, Liu Qingshan looked at the chicken soup with gold oil with surprise and said, "I didn't think about it for so many years, grandma, your cooking skills haven't changed at all." ”

When the eldest grandmother heard this, she smiled: "Although there is only one person to eat, you must also cook carefully." Also, I don't have much to do, so I spend all my time eating. ”

"Yes, my aunt's cooking skills have always been very good. ”

"Haha, then I have to eat a few more bowls to make up for all the things I haven't eaten over the years. ”

Liu Qingshan's words made the eldest grandmother smile suddenly: "Okay, it's no problem for you to eat, as long as you often come to talk to me and eat, I will be very happy." ”

"Well, grandma, don't worry, if nothing else, just for your chicken soup, I will definitely come to eat often in the future.

After eating from the eldest grandmother's house, and partnering with the second uncle to help the eldest grandmother clean up the house inside and out, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Estimating that Agui was about to get out of school at this time, Liu Qingshan drove to Hope Primary School, which was a few kilometers away.

The schools in the mountains are different from those in the big cities.

Big cities are full of schools, and even in a small city, it is estimated that there are nearly a dozen elementary schools. But in a mountainous area like Xishan Village, primary school is a luxury.

There is no school in Nishiyama Village. It's not just Xishan Village that doesn't have a school, but many surrounding villages don't have schools.

The school where Agui and the children in the village go to school is in the village committee on the side of the road, and shares a primary school with another surrounding village, plus three villages in the village committee.

When we arrived at the entrance of the elementary school, the tall, rusty iron gate was waiting for it, and it was not open.

Liu Qingshan could only stand outside the iron gate, waiting for the children to get out of school.

The gatekeeper is also a local, although he can't call Qingshan's name, but he also knows that Qingshan is a local, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Pretty boy, there is still half an hour before school opens, you are early." ”

"Haha, it's okay, I'll just wait a minute. Liu Qingshan replied with a smile.

"Why haven't I seen you pick up the child before?" the uncle was a little strange. Because there are not many parents who drive pickup trucks to pick up their children, he can basically remember it.

In other words, there are not many children studying in school, and every parent who comes to take over the child will have some influence.

Liu Qingshan scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm not married yet, the child of an aunt in my village is studying here, and she said that the child's behavior has been abnormal recently, and his academic performance has plummeted, so I'll take a look." ”

"Oh?" said the uncle, "which child is it, and what is his name?"

"His name is Tan Agui, he is very thin and dark. ”

"It turned out to be Agui, I know this kid. ”

"You know?" Liu Qingshan was a little excited. I didn't expect Agui to be so famous.

"yes. The uncle lit a cigarette and said, "This kid is a reading material, and he is famous in school, not only I know, but even the people in the cafeteria know it." He came first in every exam and all the teachers liked him. Moreover, this child is also very well-behaved and sensible, other children waste all kinds of food when they eat lunch, he eats cleanly, and sometimes helps the people in the cafeteria clean up the table, he is very sensible, and everyone likes him. But ......"

The uncle paused, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said: "However, this kid has been a little abnormal recently, I heard that his grades have fallen behind all of a sudden, and besides, he talks to his classmates in class all day long, and makes all kinds of small actions. Alas, I don't know what happened to this child, how did he become like this. ”
