After breakfast, Li Guosheng began to prepare tools for going up the mountain. He hasn't been up the mountain for two days, and he doesn't know if the buried set has been set to pheasants, hares or something.

Although after the reform and opening up, the state has banned the killing of wild animals, and it is not allowed to hide guns or anything else. But there are still some people who secretly make certain transactions behind their backs for their own interests.

Li Guosheng is a person who has entered the army, and he has the dignity of a soldier in his bones, so naturally he cannot do anything illegal and break the law.

But he's not the kind of person who is too old-fashioned, and he also knows what reality is. Besides, his family only has a few acres of land, and if the year is good, the best thing about a year's harvest is not to let him and his wife go hungry. Not to mention, there are also some of his wife's medical expenses and the family's usual living expenses.

Because he had to take care of Li's mother, Li Guosheng couldn't go out to work like most of the young people in the village. He had no choice but to put his mind on the mountains surrounding the village.

If you want to say that they are a mountain, it is a treasure. Not only are there some hares and pheasants, but even the Chinese herbs that are highly recycled in the pharmacy are also available. It's just that those things either grow on cliffs or deep in the mountains.

Needless to say, the cliffs are very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will fall down the valley and die.

And deep in the mountains, there are some large beasts. It's like a wolf, a bear, or something. Listening to the older generation, it seems that there is still that big tiger. It is precisely because of these that there are very few people who go deep into the mountains. Even if they went in, few of them came out unharmed, and even some of them never came out again after they went in.

It is precisely because of this that everyone wants to go deep into the mountains to try the years. After all, life is more important to everyone.

However, there are still people like Li Guosheng who set up animal traps in the mountains and forests and are ready to hunt some small animals. It's just that a large number of young people have gone out to work in recent years, and there are only some elderly people left. And some of those who stayed in the village and started a family also felt that the mountains were dangerous, so they stayed in the village to eat the grain laid in the fields. In this way, the rest of the people in a village who can go up to the mountains to hunt are left with Li Guosheng.

In fact, before this, there were still many people who went up to the mountains to hunt, thinking of getting a pheasant or hare to come back and open meat or something. But until one time two years ago, the wolf in the deep mountains did not know whether it was hungry or something, and actually ran out, and one of the people who went up to hunt in the mountains was bitten to death that day.

Because everyone usually hunts with some beasts or something, at best they have a sickle in their hands. But when I saw the bloody scene with my own eyes, I was already frightened, how could I think of using a sickle to cut the wolf to save people.

The person who was bitten to death did not even have a body left. At that time, their family cried in the dark, because the pillars of the family were gone, and a family was so scattered. Because there was no corpse, their family buried them in the loess with the clothes of the deceased before his death, and made a clothed mound.

It is precisely because of this time that everyone does not dare to enter the mountain again. But Li Guosheng didn't care about that. He felt that although there was a certain danger in going up the mountain, his wife also needed to make up for herself. Moreover, there are so many pheasants and hares in the mountains, if he hunts more at a time, and leaves one or two at home for his wife to make up for his body, the rest will be sold to the town.

Now that people's living standards have improved, many big bosses have come to small places like them to travel, and their favorite food is also some of their local characteristics and game.

Like the pheasants and hares he caught from the mountains, the taste is better than those domestic, I don't know how many times, and the price of this recycling naturally cannot be low.

However, Li Guosheng also has his own rules, he basically catches the prey once, he will take the trap away, and wait for three or four days before releasing the trap. If he catches a pregnant pheasant or hare, he will naturally release it. After all, this ecological balance, he cannot destroy. If he really catches it, his wife will have no game that can replenish his body in the future.

"Brother Li, do you want to go up the mountain?" After helping to wash the dishes, Qin Shuang saw Li Guosheng carrying a big bag on his shoulder and preparing to go out.

"Oh, yes." Stopped by Qin Shuang, Li Guosheng stopped and turned to look at the girl he liked behind him.

"I heard Aunt Li say that the mountain is very dangerous, you have to be careful." Originally, she wanted to follow along to take a look, but she thought that if she really encountered danger, her presence would drag Li Guosheng down.

Hearing Qin Shuang's words of concern for him, Li Guosheng felt a warm current flowing through his body. The corners of his mouth grinned a little unaccustomedly, "Shuang, don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”

"Okay, my aunt and I are waiting for you to come back at home."

"Okay." Li Guosheng nodded vigorously with some excitement.

When he heard the phrase, 'Wait for you to come home,' he suddenly felt so satisfied. Finally, there was a woman other than his wife who said this to him. And this woman is still the one he likes and wants to marry back as a daughter-in-law.

If this is the case, then can he also hope that every day in the future, when he goes out, Qin Shuang will stand here and say to him with a smile, 'Wait for you to go home'!

With infinite longing for a better future, Li Guosheng walked out of the house with a happy look on his face. Along the way, when I meet people I know, I will smile and say hello to others. This strange phenomenon naturally frightened some people who knew him and understood his character. Everyone is usually used to seeing his 'fierce and vicious' cold look, but now when they see his smile coldly, not only do they not feel friendly, but they feel a little cautious. Everyone began to speculate about what happened to Li Guosheng's abnormal phenomenon. Soon, various versions spread throughout the village.

Of course, Qin Shuang didn't know about these things. She has only been here for two days, and it is impossible for her to go out if she is not familiar with the place.

After helping Mother Li, walking around the yard a few times, and serving the elderly again to lie on the kang, she was ready to do housework or something.

Although there were only Li Guosheng's mother and son in this family before, the house was also cleaned up neatly, and there was no mess.

I touched the window frame in the house, and there was no dust and it was very clean. Qin Shuang didn't expect that a tough guy like Li Guosheng would be unambiguous when it comes to housework.

Since there is nothing to wipe off, then she will do the laundry. They went to the town yesterday, and the things they bought back were all carried by Li Guosheng, and even the grain was carried back by him. The set of clothes on his body was naturally soiled.

And after he came back yesterday, after he changed his clothes, Qin Shuang didn't see him go to wash. It just so happened that while no one was there, she hurried to help wash it. Otherwise, when the owner of the clothes came back, Qin Shuang knew that judging from Li Guosheng's previous attitude towards him, he would not let her do it. She didn't want to live here for nothing, so she had to help with some work.

Thinking so, Qin Shuang walked into the hut where Li Guosheng lived.

This room is much smaller than the main house. There was nothing in the room except for a small kang that could sleep two people, and a simple wardrobe made of plastic standing next to the kang.

Although the room is small, the things are neatly arranged. It's like the quilt placed at the end of the kang, which is folded and called a board. Boxy, like a tofu block, angular and angular.

The clothes that I changed yesterday were neatly folded and placed on the kang. If you don't look closely, you may think that it is clothes from the closet that have just been washed and have not had time to be put away.

Finding the clothes he wanted to wash, Qin Shuangyi grabbed the bag and put it in his arms, then walked out of the room and threw the clothes into the big basin in the courtyard.

Later, she went to the main house again, helped Li's mother change her clothes, and prepared to help her old man wash it too.

Originally, Mother Li disagreed, saying that she should be put aside and let him wash it when Li Guosheng came back. Although she already regarded Qin Shuang as her future daughter-in-law, how could she let her family do so many things in the first two days after she came.

But Qin Shuang didn't really stop doing it because of Mother Li's kind words. In her opinion, these things she did were nothing at all, how could she compare with Li Guosheng. That man, over the years, has been busy with things in the field, and he has to go up to the mountains to hunt for Li's mother. This home has always been his hard work, so he persevered. Now that she's here, she can't be a burden to others.

In the end, there was no way, and Mother Li could only follow Qin Shuang's words and obediently cooperate to take off her clothes.

"Auntie, do we have a big bucket or something?" Looking at Mother Li's somewhat dry skin, Qin Shuang thought that Li Guosheng was the only one at home, and Mother Li might have difficulty taking a bath in normal times.

"Vasks? We don't have that in our house. But there is a large wooden basin, which he made with his own hands when Katsuko's father was still alive. It's just that there are few people in the family now, and they don't usually need such a big basin, so they were put in the barn in the yard by Katsuko and hung on the wall. Thinking of his deceased wife, a trace of sadness passed over Mother Li's face.

However, Qin Shuang, who was just thinking about the problem of taking a bath, only paid attention to obedience, and did not pay attention to the expression on Mother Li's face. When she heard a large wooden basin, the eye waves in her dark pupils shone a little.

"Auntie, is the wooden basin big? Can you sit down alone? ”

"Sitting? I haven't tried it. But think about it, a thin old lady like you and me should still be able to sit down. ”

"That's great! Auntie, when Brother Li comes back in a while, we will ask him to take the wooden basin out of the warehouse. I'll scrub it down, and then I'll take a shower for my aunt tomorrow. ”
