Liu's house is in the westernmost part of Shangliang Village, located on the halfway of the small green mountain in the verdant mountains, and it is still more than 400 meters away from the nearest family in the village.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, in the shade of green trees, the cornices of several large tiled houses loomed, and a leisurely pastoral atmosphere came to the face.

In the center of the front yard, two huge osmanthus trees shade the sky, bringing a burst of coolness to the yard, and if it is the season of osmanthus blooming in September, the whole hill will be immersed in a rich fragrance.

On the right side of the house, two vines climb up the shelf, forming a shade of three-thirds of the land, and in the shade of green leaves, clusters of green grapes are faintly visible.

On the left side of the courtyard, a vegetable garden is opened, which is full of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, loofahs and other common vegetables, typical of a farmer's vegetable garden.

In the corner of the courtyard, an old-fashioned hand-pressed water well and several huge bluestone slabs are next to each other, which is where the Liu family usually washes vegetables and clothes.

This is where Liu Rui grew up from childhood to adulthood, and perhaps, in the future, he will get married and have children here and live here for the rest of his life.

"Dad, don't I let you do so much?" Seeing his father sitting on the chair and weaving a bamboo chair again, Liu Rui was distressed and disgusted.

"It's okay, your dad isn't that useless!" Although his legs were broken and broken, Liu Jiahong was not depressed, and his voice was still loud!

Sighing, Liu Rui didn't say anything more, after all, it's a good thing that his father can find something to do, so as not to be stuffy all day, which is not conducive to the recovery of his body.

Shangliang Village is close to Xiaoqingshan, there is a huge bamboo forest with a radius of several kilometers, and the villagers rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, so they naturally learned to ask for economic benefits from the bamboo forest. Almost every household in Shangliang Village has the tradition of weaving bamboo products, and the woven bamboo chairs, bamboo baskets, dustpans, etc. are very popular in Qingshan County, and they are also an important means for mountain people to improve their lives.

After Liu Jiahong was injured, he was not good at walking, but he was not a person who could be idle, so Liu Rui went into the mountains to cut back the bamboo for him, cut it into bamboo strips, and let him sit on a chair and weave it by hand.

"Big brother, you're back! Just now, Uncle Li from Xialiang Village came to inform him that he would ask for fifty catties of rice wine in the evening. As soon as Liu Rui set up the bicycle at the base of the wall, a girl ran out of the hall and said, "Liu Zhi ran out to fish again just now, and he didn't read at home!" ”

The little girl combed two small pigtails, wore cropped pants and a pure white T-shirt, and her two big eyes were full of smart atmosphere.

She is Liu Zhi's twin sister Liu Tongtong, who is only a quarter of an hour younger than Liu Zhi, so she is very angry that she wants to call Liu Zhi's brother.

"Little traitor!" Liu Zhi, who was placing the bucket next to the well, muttered in a low voice.

"Little girl, you want to call the second brother!" Liu Rui stretched out his hand and rubbed Tongtong's head, and said, "You two go back to the study to read, school will start next week, and you can't hang your children anymore." ”

The little girl made a grimace at Liu Zhi, turned around and ran into the hall, Liu Zhi originally wanted to stay in the courtyard, but was glared at by Liu Rui, so he didn't dare to stay longer.

Liu Rui stood outside the hall and looked at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall, it was already past four o'clock, and he would go out to deliver the goods later, so he cleaned up the black fish that Liu Zhi caught first.

When I grabbed the black fish from the bucket, it was quite large, at least more than two catties, which was a rare treasure.

Blackfish is the common name of snakehead, is a kind of carnivorous fish that widely lives in freshwater lakes and rivers, because of the high muscle rate, and no intermuscular fine spines, suitable for all ages, is a freshwater precious fish, has the name of "treasure in fish". Black fish is a high-grade health care product with comprehensive nutrition and delicious meat, and has always been regarded as a nourishing treasure for post-illness recovery and the elderly and young with physical weakness.

There is a layer of sticky liquid on the scales on the black fish, which is really not easy to catch if it is an ordinary person, but as a child who grew up by the Xiaotong River, Liu Rui is naturally not a problem to clean up the snakehead.

However, when Liu Rui took out the object of the black fish's belly, he found that there was a round hard object inside, which made him feel very strange.

I heard that some people can get the bezoar dog treasure by killing cows and dogs, is it possible that they can find something special from the snakehead today?

Liu Rui, who was distracted, didn't pay attention, and let the black fish struggle out of his hand, and the spikes on the fins pierced the index finger of his right hand, and blood gushed out.

"What a bad luck!" Liu Rui scolded secretly in his heart.

Enduring the severe pain of ten fingers connecting his heart, Liu Rui cleaned up the black fish and washed out the round beads of the culprit.

The beads are the same size as glass beads, a bit like marble, and there are flowers, insects, birds and beasts carved on it, the shape is simple, but it has a unique charm.

Liu Rui took the beads and looked at them in the sun, and didn't find anything special, but felt cold and comfortable.

Seeing that there was a small sunken hole in the bead, Liu Rui turned his mind, ran into the house, found a red silk thread and strung the bead around his neck.

What Liu Rui didn't notice was that the blood he had just shed had melted into it silently after it was stained on the beads.

After killing the fish, Liu Rui heard a few pigs screaming behind the yard, thinking that the time was almost up, he began to prepare feed for them and feed the pigs!

The Liu family makes wine all year round, and if you want to say that the biggest aspect of the benefit, I am afraid is to raise pigs.

After a long period of distillation with water vapor, the alcohol is separated, and the residue of the sake lees can only be used as livestock feed. Distiller's grains are rich in protein and vitamin B, and appetizing and spleen, increasing appetite, fattening, feeding pigs with distiller's grains, not only slaughtering fast, but also lean meat rate. Liu's winery can slaughter twenty or thirty pigs of about 200 catties every year, which has become a stable income item for the Liu family every year.

It is precisely because of the winery and this small pig farm that the life of the Liu family is enjoyable.

In Liu Rui's memory, when he was a child, because he raised pigs at home, he could kill New Year's pigs during the Chinese New Year, and the strings of sausages and bacon under the eaves were always enviable scenery. It's just that in the past few years, as the spending of several brothers and sisters in school has become more and more expensive, the frequency of killing New Year pigs at home has decreased significantly, and the last time they killed New Year pigs was four years ago.

Now there are six pigs of more than 100 catties in the pig house, and it is estimated that they will be slaughtered in more than a month. Under the heavy debt pressure at home, this batch of pigs that are about to be slaughtered has pinned many hopes on the Liu family, and Liu Rui does not dare to let them go hungry easily.

Looking at the half-sized pig snatching food in the pig barn, humming and chirping, Liu Rui was very happy in his heart. Six pigs can have at least 1,200 catties, and according to the recent price of three yuan per catty, they can have more than 3,000 yuan, which can pay off a little debt.

A few days ago, I just sold 3,000 yuan of rice, plus this batch of pigs, and lychees that are hanging fruit in the orchard in the back mountain, and the family can repay 10,000 yuan this summer.

After thinking about it in his heart, Liu Rui felt that his parents did not leave a mess for him, and this family was not so hot!
