Chapter 14 Wild peppercorns
I have watched a lot of TV series, and I have seen people's faces more or less in the four years of college, and I have also witnessed a lot of small actions between men and women who are in love.
I didn't feel that my predecessor had any special thoughts about him, could it be that this Li Dazhuang was precocious and wishful thinking fell in love with him.
No, I can't protect myself now, my father is seriously ill, and I have to be on guard against the best relatives selling my young sister at any time, I have to become strong as soon as possible, as for the personal affairs of my children, it's not the time to talk about this, at least I can't make trouble for the kind-hearted Uncle Li's family with a burden.
Meizi thought that the second sister was angry and talked a lot, but she was also afraid, she and the second sister entered the mountain for the first time, and saw people who were older than them and had experience in the mountain, so they wanted to give the second sister and herself courage.
Seeing that the second sister didn't speak, Meizi, whose heart turned quickly, spoke, "Brother Zhuang, don't worry, Daddy changed the medicine much better, and the second sister and I were a little scared when we entered the mountain for the first time, so I called Brother Zhuang." ”
Meizi was talking to Li Dazhuang, but she was actually explaining to the second sister why she had a fast mouth.
Star fruit knew that Meizi was looking for someone to be courageous, but she didn't give her enough security to let such a young child overmature, and she wanted to protect her sister in her own way.
Carambola reached out and stroked her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't open her mouth to comfort, but the sisters had a heart-to-heart connection, and Meizi knew that the second sister was not angry.
It was the first time Li Dazhuang saw the smiling appearance of star fruit, he used to see her work with her head down, endure insults and live, and he always felt that she was pitiful, and he could always make his heart rise up the desire to protect her.
Unconsciously, he understood that he liked star fruit, so he followed her from time to time, silently and secretly helped her, just like the last time he fished, how could there be any chance encounter, he heard Yang Tian yell, let her weak body go to the river to fish, he felt sorry for star fruit, so he went specially.
A little stunned, this star fruit is slender and tall, wearing a pale green shirt, with patches on it, a melon seed face, although a little malnourished, but very beautiful, a pair of clear eyes stared at him, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Dazhuang's face turned red.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he leaned over to the six-year-old plum and said, "It's okay, it's close to the mountain pass, and you are not afraid to enter the mountain for the first time, there are no large beasts here." ”
"Really, the second sister said just now that I'm still scared, and with the big strong brother here, we won't be afraid."
Li Dazhuang straightened up again and said to the star fruit: "You just came, the wild vegetables here have been harvested, and there are a lot of people who have not picked them over there, so I will take you there." ”
Carambola thought that she didn't need him to bring it, and she could find it herself, but when she thought of Meizi's timid appearance, in order not to make her frightened, she should follow him, anyway, no one would enter the mountain at this time.
Following behind Li Dazhuang, he pulled Mei Zishen and walked shallowly, and the three of them didn't have any topics, which was particularly embarrassing.
"When you arrive, you sisters will dig more here, and I'll go to the side to see if the trap has been harvested, and if there is danger, you can call me loudly."
Star fruit didn't speak, just nodded at him.
Li Dazhuang turned around and left, and the star fruit breathed a long sigh of relief, "Meizi, you have to discuss it with your sister before you do anything next time, do you know?" ”
Yang Mei blinked her eyes, a little aggrieved and said: "Second sister, the eldest brother is good, I am scared again, thinking that he will have a good response to us, and he will not be next time." ”
Carambola looked at it, she was still young and didn't understand anything, if it was put in modern times, she wouldn't say anything, but this is a closed countryside, men and women don't kiss, so she is a ten-year-old girl, you have to know to avoid suspicion.
The girl doesn't understand, it's a bit too early for her to understand now, forget it, since you're here, you don't care about this.
As soon as the topic changed, the sisters forgot the displeasure just now, and the star fruit took a closer look, there are really a lot of treasures in this mountain, there are big mushrooms, and then there are fungus, white fungus, and even herbs......
She was ecstatic, these things can be sold for money in addition to being edible, and some white flowers and silver suddenly appeared in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became.
She began to teach Meizi to pick wild vegetables, and she chose some non-poisonous mushrooms, and by the way, she picked a lot of black fungus and large white fungus.
This is a good thing, the countryman doesn't know the goods, but she knows that this white fungus seems to be sweet and non-toxic, but it not only has the effect of tonifying the spleen and appetizing, but also has the effect of benefiting qi and clearing the intestines, nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, and can also enhance the body's immunity.
If it is dried and sold to the city, rich people can use it to make white fungus lotus seed soup and bird's nest white fungus soup......
Thinking of this, my mouth drooled, this is a lot of silver, and the more I think of it, the happier I become.
After a while, the two bamboo baskets were filled, and the harvest was very rich.
At this time, Li Dazhuang also came happily, with two live rabbits in his hands, and said with a simple smile: "Peaches, plums, I was lucky to catch two today, why don't we destroy one?" It's almost noon anyway, and you won't be able to catch up with your meal when you get back. ”
Carambola was a little embarrassed, although she looked at the rabbit's two eyes shining, but if this rabbit is sold, it should be able to sell for a lot of money, and it can be subsidized for the family.
"Brother Zhuang, let's not eat, Uncle Li is still waiting for you to go back to eat?"
"It's okay, I said it out to hunt, I didn't say when I would go back, don't worry about it, Daddy, anyway, I'm hungry and I can't finish eating myself, you just helped me solve it together."
After speaking, without waiting for the star fruit to respond, he put one of them in the back basket, picked up one and stayed away from them, probably because he was afraid that the plum was small and not easy to see killing, so he walked away and cleaned up.
She knew that Li Dazhuang said this in order not to burden herself, and she could take it home if she couldn't finish eating, but she was just making a lame excuse.
Yang Mei clapped her hands and said happily: "It's better to be a big brother, you actually invited us to eat rabbit meat, the second sister hasn't eaten meat for a long time." ”
Carambola hurriedly covered her sister's mouth and whispered: "Don't say anything, the big strong brother is good, but our family's affairs are not known to outsiders." ”
Meizi showed two small eyes and nodded with a wink.
"Let's go, collect firewood, it's delicious rabbit meat."
The sisters picked up a lot of dry branches nearby and piled them up in a large clearing.
Li Dazhuang came back after a while, the fire barbecue was all wrapped by him, he even had seasonings on his body, sprinkled with coarse salt, and sprinkled a handful of powder on it, star fruit was a little excited when he saw this, this taste is so familiar, it is clearly modern peppercorns, is there still this wild pepper in this mountain?
