The butler obviously didn't know about this, and hesitated, "This ...... Mr. Ma didn't mention it to me. ”

"Then bother the housekeeper to help me ask, the Ma family has a rich background, and may not be able to look at those things, but my Li family is now down, and every penny of silver is very important!" Li Jingshan said coldly, "If Master Ma doesn't give an explanation, I, Li Jingshan, will go to the yamen to beat the drum and beg for it!" ”

The housekeeper looked at Li Jingshan, and saw that although the fourteen-year-old girl still had a sickly face, her ink-colored eyes were full of brilliance, her expression was resolute and resolute, and her demeanor was calm and generous, which was very popular with everyone. It does not match the legend's well-behaved and gentle temperament, but it is secretly admired.

He nodded, "Miss's words, I will definitely bring them later." "Say goodbye and leave.

Li Jingshan felt that all the strength in her body seemed to be drained, and she sat at the table in a daze, until someone pulled her sleeve and timidly called "sister", she woke up.

Li Jingjue stared at her with big eyes and a panicked expression on her face, but she grabbed her hand hard and comforted, "Sister, don't be sad. It's not worth it for that man! ”

He hasn't changed his voice yet, but the glutinous Tongyin pretends to be old and speaks the words of an adult, which makes Li Jingshan's heart warm. In fact, where is she sad for the negative person, just thinking that the road to help the family has been broken again, and the question of how to live in the future.

Li Jingshan saw that her mother was still sitting on the edge of the bed and wept silently, so she had to get up and walk to her, put her arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Mother, don't be sad. The kind of people who retreat when they encounter something, I may not look down on them. ”

Mrs. Li held her hand and only sobbed: "My son, I didn't expect to drag you down......"

"Mother, don't say that. I still don't believe that my father would do such a deceitful thing. I'll definitely check it out when I have the chance! Li Jingshan's slightly childish face looked resolute.

Mrs. Li nodded, and was embarrassed: "There is one more thing, your dowry...... At that time, although there was a verbal agreement with the old man of Nama, and the old man was kind, he did not leave a written note. You rashly went to him to recover it, but I was afraid that he would not admit it......"

Li Jingshan didn't know about it, and secretly sighed that her cheap parents were kind and pure, but they didn't know how to protect themselves at all. She had to comfort, "I'll go to his house tomorrow to ask for it, he's the head of a county, he shouldn't be so reckless." ”

After discussing it like this, I found that it was almost evening, and Li Jingjue's stomach was already rumbling. Li Jingshan hurriedly followed her mother to the kitchen to prepare food.

When I arrived in the kitchen, I found that the food I brought out from the main house of the Li family had almost eaten in the past few days. I can't find enough rice for dinner in the rice jar!

Li Jingshan held her forehead, she should have thought that Mrs. Li was a young lady from a large family, and she used to have ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, and her younger brother was young, and she fell asleep for four days.

It's just that I don't have time to sigh now, and now there is no rice to cook, so the top priority is to find today's rations first.

Li Jingshan looked out the window, it was the scenery of late spring. This family ancestral hall is built on the mountain, and there is a clear river not far away. According to her geologist's professional vision, it is also an excellent feng shui place.

However, that is for the dead; For the living, the green and fat wild vegetables are the best choice.

Li Jingshan reported to her mother, took a shabby bamboo basket, and dragged her younger brother to choose wild vegetables.

"What wild herbs do you recognize?" Mrs. Li grabbed her in disbelief. This daughter has changed so much since she was injured!

"Don't worry, I don't have a problem distinguishing what you can eat and what you can't." Li Jingshan smiled and pushed her mother's hand away and went out with her younger brother.

Just kidding, were the botanical illustrated books I memorized in college white-backed? This is the basic skill of geology field work!

Li Jingshan and her younger brother walked in the spring breeze in the field, birds chirping, flowers and grass everywhere, if not hungry, it was very comfortable.

Li Jingshan looked while walking: Hmm, this is dolomite, there should be a large amount of quartz ore underground; The color of the mountain stone is reddish, and the iron element is also abundant...... There's ducktoe grass growing here, and there's definitely copper underneath! This is simply a treasure mountain!

Her occupational illness as a geologist was the first to emerge, and she watched with great interest as the stones and sand were automatically transformed into mineral deposits. After looking at it for a while, my stomach screamed before I reacted, what kind of quartz ore and iron ore are not as good as those green, tender and tender wild vegetables!

She was busy looking for a good taste of shepherd's cabbage and bracken, and dug it up with her brother.

Spring is the season when wild vegetables grow in abundance, and the taste is fresh and tender. Li Jingshan pinched the tips of the newly grown buds, and soon picked a full basket. Seeing that there were a few tall elm trees in front of her, full of elm money, she smiled and commanded Li Jingjue: "Give it to me!" Go for the elm money! ”

Li Jingjue responded happily and climbed up like a monkey.

Li Jingshan was waiting under the tree, ready to pick up elm money, but she heard her younger brother cheering from above, "Sister, there is a bird's nest!" And birds' eggs! ”

"Pick it up and put it away! I'll give you some food tonight. "It was a real bonus.

She watched Li Jingjue carefully wrap the bird's eggs in a handkerchief and put them in her pocket, before throwing a large amount of elm money down the treetops, and a long-lost joy appeared in her heart.

Li Jingshan is such an optimistic and easily satisfied person. In the past, her colleagues once described her as like a sunflower in the field, and when she gave a little sunshine, she would shine.

"Quack—" There were a few bird calls from the sky, and two large mottled birds flew back and called eagerly around the treetops. One of the birds even tried to rush over and peck at Li Jingjue.

Li Jingjue waved her hand wildly, almost unable to catch it and fell from the treetops. He also got angry and scolded: "Dead bird, stinky bird, if you peck indiscriminately, I will demolish your nest!" ”

"Jue, don't!" Li Jingshan shouted below, "Let's take other people's children, don't destroy their homes again." Come down, that's enough to eat. ”

Li Jingjue obediently climbed down the tree, collected all the elm money with her sister, and went home in the afterglow of the sunset.

Yu Qian steamed a Yu Qian rice with the rest of the rice, and the four or five bird eggs were steamed on the rice noodles, and then a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables was fried with wild vegetables, and a few bowls of soup were cooked, and this dinner was not bad.

After dinner and tidying up the table, Li Jingshan took out the pen and paper she had brought from the main house and began to paint.

The image of the two birds always lingers in her mind, perhaps after the family change, she sympathizes with the bird, sympathizes with each other, and has the feeling of "under the nest, there are no eggs".

Li Jingshan had not been so easy to be sad before, and it seems that such delicate emotions are the feelings of the original owner himself.

She quickly drew the image of the two birds nestled next to each other, thought about it, and drew a circle below their tails meeting.

As a geology, because of the needs of her work, Li Jingshan is a good sketcher. However, when she finished drawing, she found that the image of the bird had been abstracted by art, not in the realistic style of her usual work notes, but more like a sketch of a work of art.

The bird's body bends slightly to the left and right, respectively, and leans together to form the shape of a heart. At the intersection of the tails of the two birds, that is, at the tip of the heart, the round egg falls, which precisely reflects the expectation and hope of "under the nest, there are still finished eggs". It's a lot of fun to watch.

It seems that this is the original owner's own talent again. She remembered her own "dowry" that she had designed and built for her father before. It looks like I'm going to go to Ma's house tomorrow.
