When the sun was about to set, Li Xi planned to go back with her mother. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The buffalo is very docile, Li Xi has always felt that it is very obedient, when Li Xi and his mother went to lead it, the cow was still in the original place, never went far, and did not cause trouble.

Li Xi learned the tone of her mother's usual conversation with her, and said to the buffalo, "You are so well-behaved, you didn't cause trouble, we will take you to take a bath now!" ”

The cow 'mooed', and Li Xi said happily, "Mom, you see it understands." ”

Mom was a little tired from work, her voice was a lot quieter, and she was panting, "If only it could understand, let's quickly lead the cow over to drink water, and then go back, I don't know if your dad has come back." ”

Li Xi looked up at the sky with a small face, and estimated that it was 4 o'clock, "At this time, there has been no car coming over for a long time, even if it is to the stone cave entrance, there is no car back, but Dad may also take the last bus, it is about seven or eight miles to come back from the stone cave, if Dad walks fast, it will not be until at least half past four o'clock to get to the house, of course, it is also possible that Dad will come back a long time ago." ”

For Li Xi's thinking is careful and clear, her mother had been taught as early as when she was 2 years old, when her father accidentally dropped the key to the door, Li Xi asked her father where the key was last found, and asked where he had been, whether he had run, or had he taken out his pocket, squatted and so on.

At first, Dad was not very happy to answer her, after all, a 2-year-old child would inevitably feel that there was no credibility when he said such a thing, but the gate was locked and people couldn't get in, and he couldn't break the gate, so Dad answered without anything.

At that time, after Li Xi heard it, he took his mother to look for it, although he couldn't find it in those places.

But after the people in the second group saw them, they asked them if they were looking for something, and the mother replied for Li Xi that they were looking for the key, and then the man took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and asked them if they were, and the mother nodded hurriedly.

It turned out that the places that Li Xi speculated were good, but they were just a little negligent, and someone would pick them up.

No, fortunately, the person who picked it up will return it, after all, she doesn't know where the key is, and it's useless to pick it up, it's just a nice thing, of course, the key is nothing good-looking.

However, this is for people in the city, for keys, in the countryside at that time, it was a rare thing, many people did not lock their homes, anyway, there were no valuables, and everyone was open to talk to the neighbors, unlike in the city, they were locked in the house and lived their own lives.

So, everyone can see who really took what.

So the key is really not a necessity in the countryside, and after Li Xi lost the key to the house in his previous life, the door of the house has never been locked.

Li Xi even liked the feeling of hanging a lot of keys for a while, because it was very handsome, and it seemed that the house was the same, but now that I think about it, I feel that I was very naïve at that time.

In short, after this incident, Li Xi spread in their group, and they all said that Dabao had accumulated blessings in his previous life, so he gave birth to such a smart girl in this life!

This kind of thing often happens, if something is missing, Li Xi often goes to find it, and even some people in the village come to ask her, she can always give constructive opinions in a targeted manner, and over time, parents and everyone will be used to Li Xi's quick thinking.

But I didn't think it was strange, because although Li Xi was quick thinking in this matter, she was not outstanding in other aspects, and even belonged to the bottom among several children of the same age in the group, so everyone just thought that God opened the door for her but closed the window, or as a child.

Li Xi knows the truth that Xiumu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and she is happy to let everyone see her shortcomings, so that she can grow up smoothly and healthily, and accompany her parents, parents and grandmother smoothly.

Li Xi took his mother's hand and walked into the stream, his mother's hand was a little wet, but Li Xi didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but held it tighter, because in the countryside, everyone is not so physical contact with the emotional expression, Li Xi knows that when he grows up, he can't always hold his mother's hand, like this, it is the welfare of childhood.

Mom laughed at her, "Are you afraid of getting lost, so you hold it so tightly, my hands are sweaty, and they stink to death!" ”

Li Xi looked up at her mother with a little face, "It's not a good thing, Mom, I really want to go to the stream to take a bath!" It's too hot! ”

Mom shook her head, "No, you're still too young, the water can drown you, you can go when you're older." ”

Li Xi just wanted to change the topic, and didn't plan to really go to the stream to take a bath, so he just pretended to understand and nodded.

When my mother saw that she no longer said to go to the bath, she led the buffalo to the stream, which was a small stream, or a mountain spring, very cold, Li Xi also stood in and washed her face, and the breeze blew, which was very comfortable.

Li Xi asked her mother, "Mom, did you say that there were any yellow eels in the eel cage we put in the field that day?" ”

The eel cage is to use a knife to cut the bamboo into thin strips, and then weave into a bamboo tube, the mouth shrinks inward and only a small mouth is left to finish, the appearance of the whole mouth is large and the tail is fine, it is specially woven for catching the yellow eel, so the structure is to let the yellow eel have in and out.

However, Li Xi's family can't weave this good thing, Li Xiyang's father went to borrow it from others, and many old people in Longcun can weave, and they can even make baskets and brooms from Hanmang poles.

Li Xi told his father that this kind of thing is now selling well in the city, because this kind of thing can be seen everywhere in the fields in the countryside, digging a lot in the field, and if you want to eat it, you can catch it directly, but there is no one in the city, people in the countryside can't think of selling it for money, and people in the city can't find anyone to buy it, so it can be regarded as a high price at that time.

At first, my father didn't believe it, but he thought that if he couldn't sell it for money, he would just cook and eat, so he originally just symbolically went to the town store to ask, but who knows, it was sold for 50 yuan.

In that era when eating a bowl of noodles was only a few cents, 50 yuan can be said to be sky-high, and my father was so happy that he bought a lot of eel cages in order to develop business opportunities.

Dad was happy and didn't ask Li Xi how he knew about such a good thing, and Li Xi was also relieved, at least he didn't have to lie anymore.

But my father was not strict and loved to be sassy, and he went to the town to buy a shirt and came back to show off in the village, and people asked him where he got the money, but he couldn't say it after a few words, so now everyone in Longcun goes to catch yellow eels and sell them, resulting in lower and lower prices, and there are fewer and fewer yellow eels.

Last time, Li Xi and her mother put them in many fields, but they only harvested less than 5.

So Li Xi didn't have much hope for this release, in fact, she was not greedy, and now that the tuition fee is also available, she just wants to catch some yellow eels and eat them herself.

The mother led the cow to a deeper place, let the cow take a bath, and replied loudly, "I'm afraid it's gone, it's about to be autumn, there are fewer yellow eels, and so many people are going to catch them, I'm afraid there won't be our share!" ”

Li Xi thought about it, the sauerkraut at home was almost sold, and the money from selling yellow eels before should be able to be used for a while, so he was not in a hurry to think about it, but said: "Mom, then you have to put the money away, and I didn't let Dad use it to play cards." ”

Mom nodded naturally.

After a while, my mother saw that the buffalo no longer drank water and was just bathing, so she asked Li Xi to go to the shore first, and she wanted to pull the buffalo ashore and go back.

The buffalo naturally struggled a lot, splashing everywhere, and her mother's clothes were soaked a lot, which made Li Xi giggle.

Mother didn't care about Li Xi, after leading the buffalo up, she handed the cow rope to Li Xi, "This cow is full, go fast, you go to the front, I'll pick up the burden, if the cow runs, you let go, don't be hurt by the cow, don't be careful, do you hear?" ”

Li Xi nodded, but who knew that as soon as he walked, his heart hurt, Li Xi looked down and saw that his feet were red and swollen more than doubled, which must have been due to the soaking in water just now.

Seeing that Li Xi didn't leave, my mother quickly discovered the abnormality, and she was distressed and angry, "I just said that you were kicked by a cow at that time, right?" You've learned to lie now! ”

But seeing that Li Xi's feet were so swollen, he didn't want to scold her anymore, but he just told Li Xi to wait for her here first, guard the sweet potato burden and don't be taken away, and her mother took the cow to close it, and then came back to pick her up.

Li Xi endured the pain point and nodded, sat on the ground, and smiled at her mother reluctantly, wanting to comfort and comfort her mother, but she didn't expect her mother to be even more distressed, and she was not allowed to follow her to work in the future, "You will either go to play with others in the future, or stay at home, don't come over and make trouble for me." ”

Li Xi knew that she was indeed causing trouble to her mother, and her mother said this because she felt sorry for her, but as for not following her mother, Li Xi planned to wait for her mother to be angry, so as not to be self-defeating.

At that moment, he said very well-behaved: "I know, Mom, you go quickly, come back quickly, I'm afraid of the dark." ”

Mom actually didn't want Li Xi to be here alone, and there was no one there, coupled with the injury on her feet, her eyes were a little red, and she spoke very quickly, "I know I'm afraid, don't come in the future." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and drove the oxen away.

Li Xi pursed her lips, feeling that her mother was the best mother in the world.
