Chapter 61. Two phases of the heart
Li took his younger brother back to the house with the firewood he had picked up on the mountain and the pigweed he had gathered, piled the firewood under the eaves, and began to chop the pigweed with a guillotine.
The pig's diet is very mixed, there are many wild grasses that can be made into pigweed, and the pigweed that Li took his brother to beat has goose intestines, wild peas, rice bean vines, purslane and hemp, all of which are hit near the mountainside and the stream at the entrance of the village.
Pigs are the family's money jars, salt pots, pay Ding Yin, buy salt and rely on the sale of pig money, the second bolt family in the east of the village is accidentally fed to the pig poisonous weeds poisoned the two pigs in the family, the result is not able to hand over Ding Yin, the whole family fled to ask for food.
Li took out the "lantern picker" made of fir wood shavings and flint, and vigorously knocked the flint to ignite the sulfur "lamp", and then used the burning "lamp" to light the velvet braided with dried wormwood, stuffed it into the stove with firewood, and blew it with a thick bamboo tube to blow and burn it.
After the fire was lit, the little girl with a black face found two benches, stepped on them to be a head higher than the stove, and staggered into the pot of pigweed, and cooked them with water and wheat bran.
Li Daidi licked the remaining wheat bran on his hands, stirred the lid of the pig edible wooden pot in the pot, and recalled the iron box and the man-eating monster in the morning, and he was still scared.
She bit her nails and thought to herself that she couldn't let the youkai eat it anyway.
Daddy's arm is broken, and it is not good to work, and Auntie's illness is not complete, if there is no two hundred catties of grain, my brother will not be able to feed. She is a loser, her younger brother is the pillar of the future, and she wants to inherit the Li family, and she can't hurt her younger brother for fear of harming her.
Li took his younger brother to feed the pigs, cooked food and sent it to the field, and just happened to bring his younger brother back.
Her younger brother's name is Li Fugui, and Daddy specially asked the name of the village, who is only more than a year old and can't walk, so he usually puts it in a boxy wooden cage to prevent him from crawling.
Li took his younger brother to collect firewood and pigweed in the morning, and his younger brother was taken by his father and mother, and the wooden cage was placed under the big tree at the edge of the field with the child.
After Li took his brother to finish feeding the pigs, he dragged the wooden cage home to take care of his younger brother.
It was almost dark, Li took his brother to steam a few wowotou, cooked a crockpot of bean gruel, and carefully put a little oil and salt in the porridge and stirred well.
At dusk, Li's younger brother's father and aunt came back from the field.
Li Laosan's face was not angry at all, his left arm was bent, and he rubbed it with his right hand from time to time, and the woman behind him was holding two hoes, her face was sallow, and she coughed while walking in.
The two of them put their things down and sat down at a shabby square table, Li Daidi handed the younger brother in his arms to A-Niang, and the three of them began to eat the second meal of the day and the last meal of the day.
Li couldn't take her brother to the table, she stood at the table and looked at the bean gruel and wowotou in the bowl, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Maybe it was because she swallowed too loudly, Li Laosan, who was holding the bowl, put the chopsticks down heavily, and the table slammed loudly.
"Look straight at what you're doing! Running out of work?
Will only eat! I still want to eat it after eating Wowotou in the morning! The money-losing goods reincarnated by the starving ghosts! ”
The sickly-looking woman coughed twice and said, "Take my brother, you go and wash your clothes and diapers, don't stand here." ”
Li took his brother and hurriedly ran out, and when he stood again, Daddy was going to beat someone again.
By the stream at the entrance of the village, there was a wooden basin of clothes next to Li Daidi, and she was pounding the clothes on the stone with a clothes pounding pestle.
I was hungry again, but I hadn't finished washing my clothes.
Li Daidi touched his stomach, as if he hadn't eaten the Yuqian Wowotou that he had eaten in the mountains before.
The iron box monster said that I could eat enough every day, and if I could eat every day, I would be willing to be eaten by the monster......
No way! There are still 200 catties of millet that I haven't gotten, and I can't let the monsters eat them.
Li Daidi shook his head vigorously, forgot everything he shouldn't have thought about, and continued to pound his clothes hard.
"Take my brother." A vague voice came from behind, and Li took his brother back to see that it was A-Niang who came.
"Auntie." Li took his brother to put the clothes and the pestle into the wooden basin, and got up to help her mother.
A-Niang's illness is not yet complete, there are many stones by the stream, don't trip A-Niang.
Wang leaned on Li Daidi and gasped, covered his mouth with his hand and spit out a small half of the nest head, with some beans and residual porridge on it.
"Take my brother, you can eat this half of the nest."
Brother Li's head shook like a rattle.
"I don't eat, A-Niang, you have to work in the field, why don't you eat more."
Wang broke the head of the nest in half and stuffed it into the hands of Li Daidi.
"A-Niang is full today, and half of it is enough."
Only then did Li Daidi put a quarter of the nest head in his hand to his mouth and ate it in small bites.
Wang looked at his daughter wearily and touched her hair.
"When you go to your mother-in-law's house, don't always think about eating, you have to work more, otherwise your mother-in-law will beat people, when I was a reunion daughter-in-law in the Li family, I ate less and worked much more every day, or was beaten by your grandmother, you have to suffer more and talk less, so that your mother-in-law likes you."
"I know, A-Niang."
Li took his brother to eat Wowotou, feeling that he was not sensible at all when he went up the mountain every day to collect firewood and secretly played, if he grew taller and grew up a little more, he could help Daddy and Auntie farm the land.
……
In the middle of the moon, Li Laosan and Wang took the child to bed early, worked for a day, and there was no light or fire at night, only sleeping.
Li took his brother to secretly get up from the cover of the stove and tiptoe out of the house.
After drinking that cup of bitter and astringent black water, I have been very energetic, and I don't want to sleep at night, it must be the demon method of the iron box monster.
If only the passing gods had taken the monsters in.
By the light of the moon, she drove through the mountains and bushes to find the depression that was covered by vegetation.
The iron box stood there alone, not disappearing, without the appearance of the gods.
Li Daidi's last disillusionment was shattered, so he had to go to the front of the iron box and knock three times timidly.
"I'm here."
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a nice sound from the iron box, and a square light came from the box, revealing the face of the man-eating monster.
Liang De was relieved to see that Li and his brother were alone as promised.
If the little girl hadn't come, or had brought a bunch of adults, the situation would have been much more troublesome than it is now.
"Put your hand on the vending machine."
"Self-...... What is the machine? ”
"Put your hand on this iron box."
"Oh."
Reluctantly, Li moved to the vending machine and pressed his hand up.
Parenting encyclopedia, two ways to communicate with each other!
Liang De operated the martial arts spirit in accordance with the law, and the vending machine was brilliant.
Li Daidi's eyes were dark, and he saw countless unfamiliar symbols and pictures flashing through his mind, and an amber stream passed through his heart, warm, and those words and meridian diagrams could gradually be understood.
What is Mr. Leung's Essence Language Pack?
What are meridians?
What is the principle of martial arts?
What is the ancient boxing method of the Eastern Kingdom?
What is the Basic Knowledge Kit for children aged 1 to 10 years?
What is 1,10?
What is a ninety-nine multiplication table?
What is the Self-Protection Handbook for Elementary School Students?
What is physical hygiene?
What is Liang De?
Li Daidi was in a daze, only to feel that his head was dizzy and heavy, as if he had been crammed with a large pile of lead.
But what about cramming and lead?
The light of the vending machine faded, and Li Daidi staggered back his hand, and the first thing he said when he opened his mouth was:
"Shovel! What a joke this is! ”
Liang De, who was tired of Yuanshen, nodded with satisfaction, not bad, the words are correct and round, congratulations on becoming the only designated successor of the Lingnan dialect outside Guanwai in this world.
It's time to move on to the next step.
