Chapter 4 The Lu Family Heavenly Immortals
"What are you doing?" Zhongli splashed all over his body, and pointed at the woman with a flat pole in one hand.
"You little slut, you say, did you take the rest of the Lu family's bride price!" The woman lifted enough water and took the bucket and threw it at the stone.
Zhongli Bai stopped quickly, but he couldn't hold the brittle bucket, the disc at the bottom of the bucket fell off, and the woman went to get another bucket.
Zhongli Bai knocked on the person's back, "Don't think that I don't dare to do it because I'm an elder!" ”
"Oh, it's murderous, come on!" The woman let out a loud wail.
The uncle's shout attracted many women who were washing clothes to come and see the excitement, and when they heard Zhongli Bai beating people, they talked louder one by one.
"You have a face, the Lu family should also give me my mother as a bride price, what are you?" Zhong Libai listened to those foul words, and he couldn't pretend to be filial.
"Can you afford to damage the Lu family's things?" She opened her mouth and warned the woman in a cold voice, and added, "We don't have any relatives in our family who are white-eyed wolves, and they will provoke me in the future, but it is not so simple." ”
In the shouting of the women, Zhong Libai picked up the broken bucket and planned to go back to Uncle Lu to repair it, but if he didn't change his clothes, it would be easy to catch a cold when the wind blew after the autumn.
At this time, where can her body be delicate, illness means one corpse and two lives, she dares to bet on herself, but she doesn't dare to joke with Zhong's mother's body.
Lu Fan was very embarrassed when he saw the young lady looking for him, and asked casually, "Young lady, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhongli Bai Qi snorted, and casually made an excuse, "I met a mouse and accidentally knocked it over." ”
She asked Uncle Lu to help repair the bucket, and asked if there was any replacement at home, and as soon as she turned over a spare bucket, she was mercilessly ridiculed by Lu Mier.
"You can knock over a piece of water, do you think you are a daughter?"
Zhong Libai glanced at the little girl, ignored the sarcasm of a child's vexatious trouble, and only said a word to carry water, and even forgot to change his clothes.
After picking up enough water, Zhong Libai changed his clothes, drank the ginger soup prepared by Zhong's mother to drive away the cold, and comforted her mother to endure it first, and it would be fine later.
Mother Zhong had red eyes, how could she not know her daughter's grievances, but when her mother's body was weak, she couldn't help and couldn't do anything.
Zhong Libai tried to pull out a smile, "Mother, crying too much is not good for your eyes, I hope you can be happy." ”
She comforted Mother Zhong, and began to clean up the yard again, pulled out the grass in the yard, left the land for Lu Mu to level out, and began to make lunch.
Asking medical students to cook is simply a model of dark cuisine, because no matter how you cook it, whether it tastes good or not, there will be a smell of Chinese medicine.
At the beginning of lunch, Lu Gongzi was angry, but Lu Fan personally re-made the food, of course, Zhong Libai was punished and not allowed to eat.
"Xiaobai, my mother secretly left you a vegetable cake, you can eat it when you go out to work!" Zhong Mu had red eyes and stuffed a fist-sized bun for her.
"Mother, you can keep it for yourself!" Zhongli didn't answer and persuaded her to eat by herself.
She didn't forget to remind Zhong's mother, "You don't have to keep it for me in the future, so as not to be laughed at by the Lu family." ”
I went out to wash a basket of clothes, but fortunately, I didn't encounter anything excellent in the process of washing clothes.
After drying his clothes, Zhong Libai sorted out the things piled up in the backyard again, and asked Lu Fan to buy some chickens, ducks or pigs to feed, otherwise it would be a waste of space.
Lu Fan asked Lu Gongzi for instructions, and replied that she could feed them, but she needed to spend her own money to buy cubs, and the raised ones belonged to the Lu family.
Zhong Libai scolded Lu Zhiqiong eight hundred times in his heart, and decided to give up the idea of feeding animals for the time being, it was better to plant some herbs, so he found a hoe to dig up the ground.
After being busy for a long time, Zhong Libai had to prepare the food for the evening, because the Lu family was not good at serving, she consulted Uncle Lu and asked Lu Gongzi what he liked.
Lu Fan was quite righteous, personally guided by the side, and tried to let the young lady not add materials casually, the dinner was normal, and the taste was barely palatable.
Zhong Libai asked Lu Zhiqiong before resting, explaining that he was going to go up the mountain the next day, and he didn't explain what he was going to do, and he was unexpectedly approved.
Early the next morning, Zhong Libai got up, made a few vegetable cakes, said hello to Uncle Lu to go out, asked him to take care of Zhong's mother, and left.
She carried a large basket on her back and carried a small hoe into the mountain, although it was autumn, she was still afraid of snakes, and she beat grass while walking, and the speed was much slower.
According to the sense of direction in his memory, Zhong Libai found a place where there were raw herbs, and looked for those grasses that could be used as medicine and that he recognized in his previous life.
She didn't shake the mud, she dug it all down, sorted out the leaves, tied them with grass, and stacked them upwards in the way of arranging flowers, so that the roots would not be crushed.
All things have spirits, plants and trees naturally have spirituality, and breaking roots or leaves will greatly damage the vitality, so it is not easy to survive, even if it lives and grows, it will not be good.
After working in the morning, only half a basket was loaded, and the whole calculation was about more than 30 catties, like plantain, Houttuynia cordata, dandelion, weeping pot grass, motherwort and other herbs, all dug up.
Zhong Libai didn't plan to dig a lot at once, each of which looked like about a dozen plants, but it was heavier with mud.
She walked around the mountains, found a lot of mushrooms, and was lucky to meet a wild chestnut, but unfortunately there were not many fruits, and the shell was only about 30 catties.
In the memory of the original owner, the peasant family did not eat chestnuts because they had many thorns, the shells were not easy to peel, and they were not delicious when cooked, so they really became wild fruits.
When she got home, it was almost afternoon, and when she went back with a basket of weeds, she would naturally be asked by the "interested" villagers what she was digging back for?
Zhong Libai honestly replied that she dug it back and planted it, and was laughed at for her bad brain, and when she digs wild vegetables, others still use it as her to eat, what can the grass do?
She didn't explain much, anyway, she didn't have a good relationship with these villagers, and she was in a bad situation now, so I'm afraid no one would believe her if she told the truth, so why bother talking.
When he got home, Zhong Libai took out the mushrooms, chestnuts, and a few persimmons covered with grass, carried the herbs to the backyard, and poured some water on them to dry.
"Young lady, what are you doing with these burrs?" Lu Fan was surprised when he saw a pile of things placed in the courtyard.
Speaking of which, there are several people in the Lu family, and she and Zhong's mother are farmers, and the others are "city people", so they naturally don't know these things.
"Uncle Lu, just call me Xiaobai." Zhong Libai reminded him again, and explained to him the purpose of these things.
She pointed to a pile of thorn shells and introduced them, "This is a chestnut, peel the thorn shells and I'll fry them for you to taste." ”
She turned her head again and beckoned to Zhong Mu, "Mother, you help wash the mushrooms, don't forget to add some salt to soak them." ”
Zhong's mother responded to help sort out the mushrooms and cleaned them according to her daughter's instructions, Lu Mu and Lu Fan helped peel the chestnut shells, and Zhong Libai washed the persimmons and sent them to the Lu family brothers and sisters.
"Can you eat this kind of thing?" Lu Zhiqiong looked at the orange skin and the persimmon that didn't look very good.
"Yes." Anyway, poison won't kill you, Zhong Libai added in his heart.
She is usually annoyed by this kind of weird little brother, but she didn't expect that once she crossed over, she could meet this style of young master, which was really miserable.
Lu Zhiqiong asked her to eat first, commonly known as poison testing.
Zhongli Bai tore one open, took a bite in front of him, and spit out the nucleus, the taste was not bad, sweet with a fresh fragrance, and no pesticides, clean.
"Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself, I'll go to work." After testing the poison, Zhong Libai left.
casually gave the remaining half to Lu Mu and asked him if he wanted to go up the mountain with him to hunt persimmons tomorrow.
The child was very defensive, and was not bought by food, so he said that he had to ask the son to answer, and squinted slightly when he ate persimmons.
Zhong Libai was afraid that Zhong's mother and Uncle Lu would think too much, so he told them that persimmons are cold, and it is best for older people not to eat them, and they have popularized a lot of knowledge as soon as they commit professional diseases.
"Xiaobai, where did you hear this?" Zhong Mu was suspicious.
Her own daughter, naturally knows how to learn, although she is usually well-behaved, but she can speak like this and understand a lot of things, which is unusual.
Zhong Libai was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart that he was bad, he would collapse if he was not careful, and it didn't matter in front of the Lu family, anyway, they were not familiar with him.
In front of Zhong Mu, it was completely like two people, she could bring her own behavior from the original owner, and what she brought with her, the original owner definitely didn't.
"Mother, didn't I fall off the mountain before! I slept for a long time, but in fact, it was my father who pulled me to talk a lot, taught me a lot of knowledge, and asked me to protect you. ”
Zhong Libai put his arm around Zhong's mother's shoulders and laughed, "Look, are we getting better and better now, it's all my father who is guarding you in the sky!" ”
Zhongli smiled and tapped her nose, "It's sweet for you." ”
"I'm telling the truth." Zhong Libai pouted proudly and kissed Zhong's mother in the air, "So everyone must be happy in the future, and life will get better and better." ”
Zhongli was blind and nonsense, pushing his strange behavior to his father's dream, Zhong's mother wanted to confirm it, so she could only ask her father to ask.
Lu Mu didn't think anything when he heard it, but Lu Fan looked at Zhong Libai quietly, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this woman didn't look like a farmer, but he couldn't tell where the strange point was.
In the evening, Zhongli Bai made fried chestnuts with sugar.
Her cooking is easy to turn into dark cuisine, but she is very talented at making snacks, and she can copy the finished product by looking at Baidu often.
The mushrooms made a pot of broth, added some herbs, and turned into a Chinese medicine flavor, which was unexpectedly not difficult to drink, and was well received by the "whole family".
After eating, Zhong Libai took advantage of the fact that it was not dark and went to the backyard to plant the herbs he dug up, and Lu Mu also came over to help, and worked together, and the relationship between the two was pulled into a lot.
The next day, Lu Mu was waiting for Zhong Libai at the door, obviously three years younger than her, but he was much taller than his body.
When passing by the young man's side, Zhong Libai secretly vowed to eat more and grow taller, although he had not measured it with a ruler, he could probably estimate that the sixteen-year-old was less than one meter five, which was too "disabled".
