Chapter 15: The Poverty of the Uncle's Family
Li Qing made a cabbage and a stewed rabbit for dinner.
The cabbage irrigated with space spring water in the backyard is already palm-high, although it should not have grown, but if you eat baby cabbage, it is completely fine.
The cabbage irrigated by the space spring is verdant, the white part is like white marble, and the leaf part is like jade. It looks very appetizing, and it has a special aroma when eating.
The rabbit meat is mountainous, the meat is delicate, firm but not firewood, with a little grassy smell; Unlike rabbits raised in the original time and space, not only firewood, but also soft meat, and it tastes chewy.
There is no contrast.
The setting sun is slanting, dyeing the hillside red, looking enchanting and lonely.
Green mountains and green waters, surrounded by mountains, fresh air, is simply natural oxygen.
Compared to the air of the original time and space, it is simply a heaven and an underground.
Sitting in the yard, enjoying the beautiful scenery of nature, eating rabbit meat and cabbage cooked with space spring water with a little wine, the taste is not changed even if it is given to a fairy.
So, Li Qing was able to hold on again.
Close the door and go out to eat.
Li Qing walked to the village and kept greeting the people in the village.
"Second Uncle Li, let's go home for dinner..."
"Third Uncle Li, I'm going to find my husband again..."
"Li Niu, don't go home for dinner after this time, be careful that your father whips you with a stick..."
"Grandpa Li, you're still going out so late..."......
Li Qing greeted the people in the village familiarly, with a smile on his face, which made people feel cordial.
The people in the village are a little puzzled about how this "stuffy calf" Li Qing became cheerful and polite, but the people in this village are simple, and no one doubts anything, but is happy for Li Qing's change.
This is the common thought in the hearts of the people who greeted Li Qing.
Li Qing walked to the main house in the east of the village, and when he was about to return the same way, he happened to think of one thing, so he turned into the uncle's house.
At this time, the uncle's family was eating, and when he saw Li Qing coming, he beckoned Li Qing to sit down and eat, and Li Qing hurriedly said that he had already eaten.
Li Qing saw the uncle for the first time when he crossed over, he was tall and strong, his skin was relatively dark, he should have been sunburned, he was in the prime of life, but there were wrinkles on his face that could not be erased, and there was a trace of white hair on his head, which should be caused by overwork.
The three children in the uncle's family, the eldest Li Hai, is a grandfather, tall and strong, similar to the uncle, his face is indeed a little immature, 18 years old, in this era, 18 years old can already marry a husband, but the family is poor, has been delayed.
The second child, Li Yuan, is a little handsome, a brother, with a little yellow face, it should be a lack of nutrition, and she is generally a little beauty.
16, I have already discussed marriage, I will get married in two months, married to Li Erniu in the same village, the family conditions are not very good, but the people are diligent, not lazy to eat, and he is a good man.
The third Li Jiang, who is almost 15 years old, is a grandfather, his face is dark, and he is also tanned, and the 15-year-old master here can be used as a laborer, so he is tanned.
And when Li Qing turned his attention to the food on the table at his uncle's house, it made Li Qing's nose sour, and his tears almost couldn't help falling.
I saw a plate of pickles and a plate of wild vegetables on the table, which were not oily at all, and the staple food was porridge, but it was so clear that a few grains of rice were clearly visible.
"Uncle, how did you eat all this? Can you eat enough? Li Qing asked.
"Qingwa, this year's harvest in the field is not good, this natural disaster, how can you still expect to be full, just survive.
, the family has a large population, the harvest is small, and there is no work in this winter, so it's good to make do with it."
Li Qing felt a little uncomfortable, he had a lot of fish and meat at home, eating white rice and white flour steamed buns all day long, but he never thought about the situation in his uncle's house.
And the uncle, the conditions at home are not good, and this year's harvest is poor, and he just crossed over a few days, and the aunt sent some eggs and grain.
This kindness has to be remembered, you must find an opportunity to help your uncle, Li Qing thought secretly in his heart.
"Uncle, I came here this time because I want to ask you for help, I don't know if you have something tomorrow?" Li Qing asked.
"Qingwa, if you have anything, just say it, what can happen in this winter," the uncle replied without thinking about it.
"Uncle, don't I still have two acres of sand at home, I want to plant something on it, and I can't plough such a wide land by myself, so I want to hire two people to help plough the ground.
My own intentions.
"That's it, it's okay, who else are you hiring, Uncle will take your two cousins to turn the ground for you tomorrow.
Sure enough, as Li Qing expected, the uncle readily agreed, and offered to help Li Qing turn over the ground.
And the eldest father sitting next to Uncle Li Qing was not dissatisfied with Uncle Li Qing's decision, and offered to help Li Qing cook.
Li Qing's heart is really warm.
In this strange world, I have never felt a sense of belonging, and I always feel empty in my heart.
To this day, the words and actions of the uncle and the father make Li Qing feel the warmth of home.
"Okay, then let's just say that, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow"
"Okay, that's it" Uncle Li Qing has the heartiness and boldness of the mountain people.
After Li Qing and the uncle agreed, he left the uncle's house, he had to find a way to help the uncle's family, but he couldn't show his flaws, it was really a headache.
When Li Qing returned home, it was already dark, and Xiao Jin also ran back from the mountains, and when he saw Li Qing coming back, he rushed to Li Qing's body to eat space peaches.
Li Qing touched Xiaojin's head helplessly, took out a peach from the space and handed it to him.
Xiao Jin hugged the peaches and ate them very deliciously, with a satisfied face, Li Qing's mood was also much better, and he was not as depressed as he was just now.
"Little thing, you're really a pistachio," Li Qing rubbed Xiao Jin's head and said. hugged Xiao Jin's head and kissed it.
Xiao Jin may have been annoyed by Li Qing, or maybe he was shy, turned his head to show a particularly humane expression, jumped off his body, and nested into the nest that Li Qing made for him.
Li Qing was dumbfounded, if he was not wrong just now, Xiao Jin's eyes were disgusted and shy, this Xiao Jin, it was really .........
