Chapter 23 Repairing the House (2)
86_86881 [Today is 5.12, a sad day, a silent mourning for the deceased, may the living never experience such pain again!] γ
When I got home, the roof was all set.
Afraid that the sisters and brothers would not have a place to sleep at night, Uncle Zhuzi had replaced the beams after they lifted the tattered roof, and laid them on the top with bamboo strips.
There are still some details and reinforcement work left, Uncle Zhu told sΓΉ that she has almost finished the roof today, and that the filling and reinforcement can only be done tomorrow, but if the progress is accelerated, the house should be completed by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
At dinner, Lin Yu was a little nerve-wracking, because she had no experience, the ingredients she prepared were a little insufficient, if there were only their three sisters and brothers, they could simply settle for a while, but with Uncle Zhuzi and their hard-working people, they had to see some meat.
Speaking of which, there was a whole pot of roasted vegetables made of pork belly and rabbit meat for the meal of forest fish at noon, but Uncle Zhuzi ate a lot of food, and she scooped out two more portions, so there was not much left in the pot at the end.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to kill the rabbit that was left, and then remembered the fish in the fish basket in the river, and estimated that after dinner, he would not start work again, and he would no longer be in a hurry, so he would not be afraid of being stuck by fish bones.
Although she hasn't been to the river all day today, she has some experience in catching fish for so long, and there are a lot of fish here, and basically big fish are caught every day, so she is not worried about not having fish to eat.
The fish pond that Lin Yu dug herself is on the edge of the river, and she uses a thin bamboo pole to make a small doorstop at the opening of the river to fill the small fish pond, so that the water can flow back and forth, but the fish cannot swim out.
The big fish are all gathered to a certain amount, so she asked the pillar to help sell them, and usually the fish pond has a maximum of some half-sized fish, and their sisters and brothers eat this small one when they want to eat it, but there are many people today, and it may be enough to catch two big fish.
Three or two steps to the river, as she thought, the fish basket has been filled with most of the fish, she lifted the fish basket, turned around and poured into the fish pond next to it, because the fish pond is too small, she caught the smaller fish out and put them back into the river, until it is no longer crowded.
Finally, the two largest fish were put into the basket and brought back.
Fortunately, there was Xiao Ling'er at home who could help with the handle, and after some busyness, dinner was finally prepared.
Two roasted fish, one cold rabbit meat, one white song soup, plus the remaining roasted vegetables in Xiangwu, although not rich, but still eye-catching.
Uncle Zhu and his entourage ate and chatted at the dinner table for a while, and then went back one after another.
She thought that she would have to buy vegetables tomorrow, and she would have to sell enough for two days, so she begged Uncle Zhu to lend her the ox cart for use, and she would definitely not be able to get back so many vegetables.
After hearing this, Uncle Zhu repeatedly blamed himself for not reminding her to buy the vegetables back, and told her not to worry, he would go to help her buy them early tomorrow morning.
Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, or he would definitely die in a hurry tomorrow.
After sending Uncle Zhu away, she hurriedly put Zhiyan's vegetables into a bamboo basket, packed a quilt, and sent it to the mountain.
It wasn't too dark before she lit a torch.
When he arrived at the cave, perhaps because he was too bored to move, the child named Zhiyan was sleeping again, and when he heard her footsteps, he sat up, still staring at her coldly, but his eyes seemed to be less dazzling than before.
Lin Yu put down the bamboo basket and quilt and examined his wounds first.
After the wound had been poisoned with wine, the redness and swelling seemed to have subsided, but it was certainly not as obvious as the medicine, so she thought that if she could spare some time tomorrow, she would pick some herbs for him.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that his eyes had been staring at the bamboo basket, so he quickly took out the food.
When he finished eating, she also opened the quilt for him and laid it out.
Last night because his attitude was too bad, he forgot to get him a quilt when he was angry, and then although he thought about it, he thought that it was not cold for the past two days, and it would be dawn after staying up, and he wanted to teach him a lesson, so he froze all night.
After putting the dishes and chopsticks into the bamboo basket, she thought about going back, and her feet did not touch the ground after being busy for two days in a row, so she would have rested early if she went back.
Who knew that before he mentioned the bamboo basket, he heard Zhiyan twist and pinch, and Chechenono said: "What's your name?" β
When Lin Yu heard his words, he thought that he must be a little bored and wanted to talk to her, so he sat back on the hay and replied with a smile: "My name is Lin Yu, and they all call me Sister Xiaoyu, you can also call me that."
"Hmph, I was born in the seventh year of Yuanhe, but I am eight years old this year, who is older than whom, you just let me call you sister!" Zhiyan pursed his lips and stared at her questioningly.
"Oh~~ It turns out that you are eight years old! But you should really call me sister, because I'm nine years old! Lin Yu made a sudden realization, but stared back at him funny and said.
"Humph! I won't call you sister anyway! He was a little unconvinced, obviously looking at her so thin, how could she be older than him?
"It's up to you whether you call it or not, but it's a fact that I'm older than you." Lin Yu replied that she was not a real child, so there was no need to compete for victory or loss at this age.
After speaking, neither of them wanted to pay attention to the other anymore, so they fell silent.
After half a ring, Lin Yu thought that since he didn't want to speak, then she might as well go back to rest earlier, and after saying something to him, she propped herself up and carried the bamboo basket to leave, but he muttered behind his back: "Hey, you should come over early tomorrow"
Lin Yu turned his head and saw that he was lying back with his back to her, so he knew that he was embarrassed, and he smiled sullenly, and walked out with a vague "um".
Although Uncle Zhu helped buy vegetables again, the forest fish still got up early in the morning on the second day.
After heating up the rest of last night's meal, she was about to call Ling'er Qi'er to get up to eat, when Uncle Zhu came with an ox cart, and bought a lot of vegetables on the car, and Lin Yu hurriedly beckoned Uncle Zhu to have breakfast together.
Uncle Zhu was a little surprised, their Zhuang family is two meals a day, this is the first time I heard of breakfast, Lin Yu hurriedly explained that it was the leftover dishes from last night, and it had to be remade at noon, if you don't eat it, it is too wasteful, Uncle Zhu relieved himself, and saw that their sisters and brothers are a little small, so he nodded in agreement: "It makes sense, their sisters and brothers are too thin, they should eat more to grow their bodies, and those leftovers are indeed too wasteful if they don't eat." β
Uncle Zhu ate breakfast for the first time in his life, Lin Yu hurriedly cleaned up the stove, just scooped up the food for Zhiyan in the mountain, put the cowhide bag and cloth into the bamboo basket, and the people who worked came one after another, and after saying hello to each other, they all picked up their own work and started work.
Lin Yu asked Ling'er to take Qi'er aside to play, and he quietly slipped up the mountain again.
She felt like an underground worker, Ling'er was her comrade, because Zhiyan didn't agree to tell others about him, and she didn't dare to let Uncle Zhu know at will, but she still couldn't figure it out, what did an eight-year-old child go through to appear in the dangerous mountains? Only he knows this question best, but looking at his suspicious character, it is estimated that he will not say it lightly.
However, it is too troublesome to run on both sides like this, and when the house is repaired and no outsiders come, she must get him to the house, thinking that he should see that she is not a threat to him in the past two days, right?
After accompanying him to finish his meal, and using wine to detoxify his wounds, Lin Yu took the bamboo basket to the trap.
The new trap is in the back mountain and next to the deep mountain, there must be more rabbits and pheasants, pheasants can fly, the chance of catching them is very small, and the rabbits are much easier. Lin Yu went over to check, and sure enough, she caught two more gray rabbits, and she happily caught the rabbits, and pulled hay and tied her legs and feet. Today, Uncle Zhu bought vegetables, there is no need to kill rabbits, and he is no longer in a hurry to use money, and the two gray rabbits can be fed.
Thinking that the reproductive ability of rabbits is very strong, two litters a year, there must be six or seven rabbits in one litter, plus rabbits will be caught in the trap, so if you raise it well, it is estimated that there will be dozens of rabbits a year.
Thinking that she might be a rabbit breeder in the future, she was a little happy, put the rabbit in the bamboo basket, and went back briskly.
Uncle Zhu may also be trying to help her save, and most of the common home-cooked dishes he buys, including bracken, garlic sprouts, cocoon, etc., as well as several catties of fat and thin pork belly. The forest fish fried a garlic sprout back to the pot, roasted the white sauce with sauce, and stir-fried the cabbage, and made a soup dish from the white song in the yard, each of which was very sufficient.
When she went to call Uncle Zhu Zi for dinner, Uncle Zhu took her to see the progress, and told her that she was already half completed, so maybe she could finish it all this afternoon, she was a little surprised that it was so fast? Uncle Zhu explained that it was because her family only had two rooms and there were many people who worked that it was completed so quickly.
After eating, Lin Yu brought food to Zhiyan and picked herbs for him everywhere in the mountains.
Although she has not studied medicine, but in her previous life, she learned health, some common herbs are still known, she has seen notoginseng, dandelion, plantain and desmodium in the mountains, these are very common herbs, there are no side effects, you can also put it at home as a standing medicine.
After walking around the mountains, she picked a lot of them, and when she saw that the bamboo baskets were almost full, she went back
