Chapter Eighty-Five: Go Around the Fields
"Mother, what's wrong, I'm in the house?"
Hearing Mrs. Li call her, Bai Jinli answered her voice and walked out of the house.
"Pear, I just calculated the time, it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, you pack up your things, and we'll go to your uncle's house tomorrow."
"Mother, isn't there a few days left for the Dragon Boat Festival? What are you doing at my uncle's house? ”
"Isn't you stupid, your uncle's village has reeds and wormwood, so you don't have to buy these things when you bring them back. The dumplings must not be prepared to be wrapped in advance? ”
"Well, I know my mother, then I'll clean it up later." Bai Jinli nodded.
"Well, you usually like to go to your uncle's house, and you like to dress up before you go, have you forgotten all this?"
"No, I remember, when I went to my uncle's house last year, I also wore a red coat, a green skirt, and painted my eyebrows with rouge, which scared my uncle." Speaking of this, Bai Jinli was a little depressed.
The memory told her that there was such a thing, because the original owner did it.
But now that I think about it, I feel that the original owner is not only stupid, but this aesthetic is also difficult to explain.
Big red with big green, plus a red face like a monkey's buttocks, and caterpillar-like eyebrows appeared on her fat body, which made her feel thunderous when she thought about it.
But the original owner thought it was beautiful, and after he went, he showed off all kinds of smugness.
In the end, he seemed to be ridiculed, and then cried and shouted and pulled Mrs. Li to go home.
Mrs. Li is a madman who protects her daughter, and when she learned about this, she naturally became furious, cleaned up those who laughed at Bai Jinli, and then took her home.
After this incident, those in her uncle's family and those who had seen Mrs. Li's power were quite complaining about them.
Unexpectedly, a year later, her mother-in-law Li still had to take her to her uncle's house as if nothing had happened, which was really delicate.
"Girl, that's because they don't have a vision, no matter what you say, he's your uncle, we're going to go this year, if they still dare to say bad things about you, I'm not polite to them."
Mrs. Li naturally remembered what happened last year, and couldn't help but comfort her.
"Got it, mother, then you call me tomorrow." Bai Jinli nodded, but began to think about it in her heart.
When she goes this year, she must brush up her goodwill, at the very least, and at the very least, she must get back the face she lost last year.
"Okay. Girl, what are you going to wear this year? Otherwise, let's not wear last year's one, they are jealous. ”
"Mother, I'm definitely not going to wear that, it's too big.
Didn't I come back with a lot of cloth when I went to the county with you last time? I asked my sister-in-law to sew me a new dress out of that cloth, and I'll wear it tomorrow. ”
"That's right, you can pack up later, your uncle's house is still quite far away, and we'll leave early tomorrow." Mrs. Li nodded.
"Got it."
Bai Jinli nodded, found the new clothes that Zhang helped her cut, and then wiped the table in the room, and there was nothing to do.
Seeing that it was still early, Bai Jinli suddenly wanted to go to their house.
It is said that she has lived for more than ten years, and with the protection of Mrs. Li, she has been to their home only a handful of times.
Even so, the few times she went, she deliberately ran to play tricks on people, such as delivering water with added materials, asking people working in the fields to accompany her to catch snails, and so on.
I didn't even have a good look at the scenery in the crop fields.
"Mother, everything is packed, I'll go to our yard for a walk!"
"Be careful." Mrs. Li hurriedly chased out and admonished.
"Got it."
Walking in the direction and route in her memory, Bai Jinli saw a vast and empty land along the way, with slightly yellowed crops on the land.
The fields of crops were arranged in a staggered manner in front of them, and there was a earthen beam in the middle of each house's field.
The tip of the nose is a unique fragrance, the afternoon breeze blows the hair, there is a slight sound of wheat waves, and it feels very free and comfortable to walk on the road here.
From time to time, you can still see people wearing straw hats waving hoes and busy in the fields.
Bai Jinli walked and walked, walked to a wheat field and squatted down to take a closer look at the wheat.
It is said that the green wheat is delicious when grilled over a fire, and not only that, but it can also be stir-fried with vegetables.
It was at this time that a sudden voice appeared in my ears.
"Bai Jinli, what are you doing here? Do you want to steal wheat or what? ”
Bai Jinli didn't see the person who was speaking clearly as soon as she raised her head, but the next moment she was lifted by a force, and she suddenly squatted on the ground and rolled down.
This kind of sneak attack from behind can make her angry.
Not only was she angry, but she was even more angry that her vigilance was so bad that she could be succeeded by others.
In fact, it's no wonder that Bai Jinli is not guilty.
When her figure appeared, Zhou Quan was staring at the wheat in the wheat field and making sour verses, and Zhou Qinxue told him that Bai Jinli was coming, and the two of them suddenly stopped talking, squatted down and hid.
The two of them were already dissatisfied with Bai Jinli, but now when they saw her squatting in a wheat field pinching the wheat, they subconsciously thought that she was going to steal the wheat and do something bad.
So, taking advantage of Bai Jinli's inattention, she quickly went out and pushed her.
Seeing Bai Jinli fall to the ground and a little embarrassed, Zhou Quan, as a scholar, felt very happy, and couldn't help but say: "Heaven is clear, retribution is not happy." ”
Zhou Qinxue behind him felt even more refreshed, with a hint of revenge on her face.
"Zhou Quan, Zhou Qinxue, is there something wrong with the two of you? They actually attacked me. Bai Jinli got up from the ground and patted the dirt on her body.
"Anyway, you can steal wheat from other people's fields at will, why can't I do it for the people? It's just a nudge on you, and it's not good. Zhou Quan's face was full of indifference.
"It's a shame that you're still a scholar, so why are you embarrassed to shoot at a weak woman indiscriminately?"
"Who said I was stealing wheat by squatting here? I'm obviously observing, okay? You brothers and sisters are really good at slandering people. Bai Jinli sneered.
"Bai Jinli, are you embarrassed to call yourself a weak woman? How did you bully me in the first place? Someone with a wicked record like you actually says he's watching, who are you fooling? Zhou Qinxue had hatred in her eyes.
"Bullying? What did you do yourself, and you didn't count it in your heart? Still in a hurry to find scolding? Bai Jinli glanced at Zhou Qinxue like a fool.
"It's obvious that you are shameless, you have a man, and you seduce Brother Qinghan and splash my brother with water, you are a shrew, a bad woman!"
Zhou Qinxue looked at Bai Jinli's gaze, instantly remembered the first two incidents, and felt extremely humiliated, as if only by cursing viciously could she alleviate her psychological hatred.
"Oh? Are you justified in doing something wrong? After Bai Jinli finished speaking coldly, she suddenly walked quickly to the two of them, and pinched their collars left and right.
", what are you doing, you tigress, let me go, ahem." Zhou Quan's eyes widened and coughed dryly.
He didn't expect that Bai Jinli would have the ability to restrain him.
"Let go of me, are you going to strangle someone?" Zhou Qinxue also screamed in fear.
"I warn you, don't mess with me again, or it won't be so simple next time." Bai Jinli glanced at the two of them coldly and let go.
The two of them suddenly fell to the ground like rags, clutching their chests and coughing dryly.
"Get out!"
Facing Bai Jinli's cold and terrifying eyes, the two of them glanced at each other, got up and ran away.
"Two retards, it's really annoying." Muttering, she adjusted her mentality and finally arrived at her family's wheat field.
She folded some of her own green wheat and held it in her hand to go back and taste it, and she walked to the paddy field again.
There were a lot of people in the paddy fields, all of them half-squatting and rolling up their trouser legs.
Rows of emerald green seedlings have been planted in it, neatly and neatly, looking particularly vibrant.
When she walked to her family's paddy field, Bai Jinli met the eyes of many people in the village along the way, and she didn't care, and let those people look at her generously.
After walking for a long time, she finally saw the busy people in her field.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Bai Mo was the first to spot her and exclaimed.
Everyone else also looked up at her, all kinds of curiosity and depression, and couldn't figure out how a person like Bai Jinli who didn't distinguish between grains could suddenly think of coming to the field.
"I'm fine, come and wander around the fields." Bai Jinli stood aside and enjoyed the scenery in the field.
"Hiss......" Suddenly, Bai Mo snorted, and the expression on his little face was a little painful.
"What's wrong, Mo'er?" Bai Meng, who was closest to him, hurriedly approached and asked.
"Sister, I seem to have been bitten by something."
"Mo'er, are you alright? Is it a leech? Zhang and Bai Yi also hurriedly surrounded him.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you send Mo'er over there first." Bai Qi also spoke out when he saw it.
"Hmm." Bai Yi picked up Bai Mo and quickly walked up from the paddy field.
Bai Jinli looked over, at this moment, Bai Mo's legs were covered with mud, and there were two or three black and soft creatures under his right leg, and he couldn't shake them off.
That thing really looks like a leech that Yiyi said during the day, also called a leech, and likes to live in fresh water.
Seeing this, Zhang Shi hurriedly reached out to pinch it, and saw that Bai Yiyi stopped her and spoke quickly.
"Don't move, this thing sucks blood, and the more you pull it, the deeper it gets drilled."
"What then?" Zhang looked at Bai Mo distressed and anxious.
"Mother, it's okay, it hurts for a while, and now it doesn't hurt anymore." Bai Mo instead opened his mouth to comfort Zhang.
"There's no salt, no vinegar, I'll try it first." It's not the first time they've encountered this thing, and they know that this thing is most afraid of salt, wine, vinegar, etc.
But now they didn't bring salt with them when they went out, so they tried to shoot around the bite of Bai Mo's leg.
"I've got a fire here, why don't you try it?" At this time, Bai Jinli suddenly took out a fire fold from her arms and handed it over.
