Chapter 46

After a while, after going home to say hello, the men came back, and the man surnamed Li divided the labor, leaving a few people to start laying the foundation, and the other was to go up the mountain with him to cut wood to build a house.

In the busy afternoon, a smoke passed, when the night came, the Li family also got a few meals, because it was a new stove in the yard, so the fragrance spread far away, from the village entrance to the end of the village, many people ran over to see the excitement, some village women saw the Li family a few people helped, but also took the initiative to come to help, smelling the smell of meat, saliva was going to flow down, and then even the village chief ran over to see.

So when it was time to eat, in addition to inviting back workers, more people took the initiative to come in to help the women and the village chief, fortunately, the rice was cooked enough, the vegetables and meat were enough, no one was hungry, especially the men who worked for half a day, this was the first time they came to work and ate so well, plus it was twice the market price, many people secretly decided to work harder tomorrow.

Because Jinhua has no extra room at home for non-village workers to sleep, so after eating, the workers built a simple shed next to the yard to sleep at night, as for the men in the village, it is much more comfortable, and after building a shed for the workers, they will go back to their own homes to rest leisurely, which is the benefit of working in their own village.

At night, Qiao Zi happily hugged Ye Lan, although she was very tired today, but she felt very relaxed when she thought that she was about to have a family for the two of them, "Lan'er, my mother didn't accompany you today, are you unhappy?" ”

"No, it's my mother who is so busy, Ye Lan can't help." Ye Lan looked at Qiao Zi with a smile, she wanted to help, but she was driven away by Qiao Zi several times, and she was reluctant to do a little work.

"My mother said that she would protect Lan'er." Qiao Zi looked at her daughter with a smile, "Although there are only two of us mother and daughter now, when we settle down at home, we will get better and better." ”

Will it?

In this place in the north, if there is no way to make money, no matter how much money they have, they will use it all in the future, but it may also affect their children and grandchildren, making them poorer and poorer, and like the natives in the north, the family will not save a tael of silver a year.

However, with her Ye Lan, she will definitely not let herself go to such an ending, so they will definitely get better and better, thinking like this, Ye Lan raised her head, looked at Qiao Zi with a smile, and gave her a sure answer,

"Yes, we'll get over it."

Because it was the villagers of his own village who asked for helpers, and the wages were twice the market price, and the meals prepared for everyone were very fragrant and sufficient, so everyone worked very hard, and originally planned to build the house in five days, but it only took three and a half days, despite this, Qiao Zi paid four days' wages, which made those men who were not in the village want to leave, and repeatedly explained that if Boss Li had work for the Qiao family next time, they must be called, even if the salary is less, it doesn't matter, they can see the beauties, eat well, and they earn.

The construction area of the house is larger than expected, because it is the entrance of the village, and the side can be expanded infinitely, so Ye Lan reminded Qiao Zi to let her expand the courtyard wall a lot, and it became a house with a large area in the village.

Three rooms, one is a bedroom, one is a utility room, one is a kitchen, and a greenhouse is built in the yard, under which a chicken shed, a horse shed, and a pig shed are reserved, Ye Lan believes that one day these will be used.

The house was built, and at the suggestion of Jinhua, Qiao Zi invited the whole village to eat and celebrate the relocation.

After the people settled down, Qiao Zi thought about how to live, because the village has a master, they come like this, if they want the land, they have to plead by themselves, and after they plead, they go to the village chief's house to get the certificate, and then go to the government for the record, this land is considered them.

As a farmer, it is impossible to have no land, so the day after moving, Qiao Zi planned to go into the city again to buy daily necessities and tools for going to the field.

"Lan'er, my mother is going to go to the city again tomorrow, if you have anything to buy, tell my mother, and my mother will buy it back for you."

"No, it's good for my mother to buy what she needs, do you want me to go with me?"

"No, you're at home, your Aunt Jinhua will go with me, we get up early and hurry, and strive to come back before lunch, and wait for the next time the city is established, my mother will take you into the city to play." Worried that her daughter would get up too early and affect her rest, Qiao Zi asked her daughter to stay at home.

"Okay, be careful." Hearing that Jinhua and her mother acted together, Ye Lan was relieved, with Jinhua taking care of her, she didn't have to worry about her mother suffering.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Ye Lan woke up, got up and saw that the carriage in the yard was gone, and she didn't know when her mother and sisters left, she didn't feel it at all, she didn't find anything to eat when she turned around the house, Ye Lan was just about to cook some porridge by herself, and Lan saw that she came from next door,

"Sister, you're up."

"Lan sees it early."

"Sister, sister, I made breakfast, you and I can eat together." After a few days of getting along and getting acquainted with each other, Lan saw that Ye Lan was already very self-conscious.

"Okay." Ye Lan actually didn't have very high requirements for food, and when she heard Lan Jian say this, she immediately decided not to make breakfast and eat with Lan Jian.

There are not a few rice porridges, corn tortillas are made the day before, and there is a little pickle, this is considered breakfast, Ye Lan noticed that there was still some rice in her bowl, Kelan saw that there was soup in the bowl, and her heart was moved, she and Qiao Zi had just arrived, and the mother and son of Jinhua were really helpful to them.

Silently drank Lan Jian's heart, Ye Lan asked him what he was going to do after breakfast, Lan Jian smiled, "I'll go to the back mountain to pick some herbs in a while, and if there are wild vegetables, I will dig some by the way." ”

"I'm fine, let's go with you." Thinking that after coming here, he went around the village, and he hadn't been to the mountains behind the village, Ye Lan planned to follow Lan to see a piece of knowledge, you know, nature gives a lot of good things, but they are all in the mountains.

"Yes, sister." Ranmi nodded, "I will protect you." ”

"Hehe, is there any danger in the back mountain?" Ye Lan chuckled.

"No, but we can't go too far into the mountains, I heard that there are wild beasts in it, but those beasts are usually in the mountains and won't come out, as long as we are on the edge, it's fine." Lan Jian Dao,

"Normally, we all have a fixed area of activity, only when the men in the village come back and everyone organizes to fight wild beasts together, they will go into the mountain, and at that time I will also go with us, because there will be a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountain."

"In the village, you and your mother know some medical skills, and these herbs should be the only ones you can pick."

"Yes."

After eating porridge, Lan saw that she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Lan went home and picked up the sharp small dagger she bought and carefully tied her legs, this small dagger was brought by her from the capital, or produced by the Shangguan family, extremely sharp, when she went all the way north, she never let the dagger leave her body, and a handful of Qiao Zi's legs, one big and one small two beautiful women are single, if they are defenseless, once they encounter something, they can only be caught, and when they come to Jinxiu Village these days, they feel that there is no crisis, Ye Lan untied the dagger and hid it, but Qiao Zi was busy every day and never untied the dagger.

Although it was only a peripheral activity on the back mountain, Ye Lan still felt that it was better to take a dagger, and she applauded her decision.

After she hid the dagger, Lan Jian also washed the dishes, carried the back basket and prepared to leave, Ye Lan closed the door and went out of the courtyard, only to see Lan Jian still holding two sickles in her hands, and when she saw her come out, she handed one to her,

"Sister, I know you don't dig wild vegetables, but it's better to have a scythe in your hand."

"I see, thank you Lanjian." Ye Lan took it with a smile.

The two walked to the back mountain together, and they didn't see the children playing around on weekdays all the way, Ye Lan was feeling strange, Lan seemed to understand her thoughts, and took the initiative to solve her doubts.

"The children in the village should also go to the back mountains to dig wild vegetables."

"Oh." The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and the children in this village do not play all day, and when the farm is busy, the three-year-old children will go down to the fields to help. Arrived at the back mountain, all the way up, sure enough, I saw some children digging wild vegetables in a group, and a few of the little boys saw Ye Lan, they were embarrassed to divert their eyes, such a beautiful little girl, they didn't dare to get too close, they felt like one in the sky and one in the ground.

Lan saw that if she wanted to dig up the weeds, she had to climb up the mountain and go inside, and gradually, the two of them left the children behind until they couldn't see them.

The back mountain is not high, but this back mountain is a group of mountains, at a glance, it is all woods, you can't see the end at all, no one knows how far this connected mountain is, how many mountains there are, the local people call this group of mountains the northern forest.

Lan Jian is obviously very familiar with the periphery of the northern forest, and he moves forward with Ye Lanji, and sometimes stops to check, if the herb is not grown, he will not pick it, obviously, he knows how to stop in moderation.

Ye Lan silently looked at this wood, surrounded by tall and unknown trees, please forgive her for not studying too much about it, but for the time being, she didn't feel any danger in this wood, I don't know if it was lucky, very, Lan saw that she found a small piece of wild vegetables that had not been picked,

"Wow, these wild vegetables are just ripe, and they haven't been discovered yet, it's really good, sister, you're lucky, the first time you went up the mountain, you came across this, I also came to this neighborhood last time, but I didn't come across this."

"Then pick them all, I'll help you." Ye Lan took the initiative to squat down to help.

"Don't, sister, I'll be alone, just watch from the side, don't stain your clothes and hands." Lan Jian hurriedly stopped.

"It's okay, I'm not a lady now, and I like the smell of the land." Ye Lan smiled, and without waiting for Lan to see it, she had already squatted down and gestured to familiarize herself with digging up wild vegetables.

I thought Ye Lan wouldn't do this, but seeing that she was so skilled in gesturing, Lan was surprised, "Sister, have you ever dug wild vegetables before?" ”

"No, but my sister also grows vegetables at home, so I'm very familiar with this."

"Oh, I see." Lan saw that he was relatively simple, and after hearing Ye Lan's explanation, he didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Okay, then after I go back, I will dispose of the wild vegetables, and I will divide half of you." ”

"No, if I want to eat, can't I just ask you?"

"That's right, it's very troublesome to make castrations, and I'll give you some good when I'm ready." Ranmi nodded.

The two of them dug happily, cleaned up this small piece of wild vegetables, and found some next to it, plus Lan Jian dug up some herbs, very, the small back basket was full, seeing this, Lan Jian said,

"Sister, let's go back."

"Okay."

The two of them were about to leave, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them, Ye Lan was alert for the first time, Lan saw that her ears were also very good, and looked back at the source of the footsteps, "Sister, are you from the village?" ”

"People's footsteps won't be so loud, hide." A danger signal suddenly jumped out of her heart, and Ye Lan was about to ask Lan Jian to hide, but it was too late, and a wild boar with a violent aura appeared in their sight.

"It's a wild boar, sister, don't move, let me lure it away." Hardly any hesitation, Lan Jian blocked Ye Lan's front.

"Shut up, just your little arms and legs, let it catch up in a few clicks." Ye Lan was moved for a moment, but immediately regained her composure, the experience of her previous life taught her one thing, the more dangerous it is, the more cold she should be, press Lan Jian's shoulder and don't let him move, obviously he also has some common sense, knowing that he must not move at this time, once it will attract the attention of wild boars, he will immediately attack them.

Ye Lan noticed that the wild boar was unusually short-tempered, and after a closer look, she found that its buttocks were injured and bleeding, no wonder it was so irritable, looking left and right, Ye Lan's eyes stopped five or six meters away from them, and a three-person hugging tree suddenly had an idea.

After thinking about it, the wild boar looked straight at Ye Lan and the others, obviously he had already discovered them, and began to slowly approach them, Lan Jian was a little scared and asked in a low voice, "Sister, the wild boar has seen us, what should I do?" ”

"Ranmi, do you know how to climb trees?"

"Yes."

"See the big tree on your left that requires three people to hug together? You stand here and don't move, I'll lead the boar to the big tree, and then you climb up to the tree, I didn't tell you to come down, don't come down. ”

"Sister, what do you want to do?"

"I let it hit the tree."

"No, it's too dangerous, let me come." Although Ranmi was afraid, he felt that he was a boy and should protect girls.

"Don't talk nonsense, listen to me, otherwise I won't have your brother in the future." At such a dangerous moment, Ye Lan was impatient, and her momentum changed, so that Lan Jian didn't dare to refute anymore, taking advantage of this, Ye Lan strode towards the big tree.

The wild boar was slowly approaching Ye Lan and the others, but at this moment, Ye Lan suddenly ran to the side, obviously making it feel that its dignity was being challenged, and roared loudly, and immediately chased after Ye Lan.

"Lan sees the tree." Ye Lan saw the wild boar coming towards her, and knew that she had successfully caused the wild boar to be angry, so she immediately screamed.

Lan saw that the wild boar was furious in the morning, and she was frightened when she heard Ye Lan's voice, so she only subconsciously carried it out, and quickly climbed a tree close to her, and at this moment, Ye Lan had already dealt with the wild boar, because Ye Lan was still a child, and she ran relatively slowly, and when the wild boar hit her for the first time, she had not yet reached the big tree, so she could only dodge, and then continued to run towards the big tree.

"Sister, be careful." Lan Jian climbed the tree and looked at Ye Lan's situation, very worried.

Ye Lan was engrossed, where did he still have the energy to deal with Lan Jian, when he dodged the second impact of the wild boar, he finally reached the side of the big tree, and at this moment, the second impact did not hit Ye Lan, the wild boar seemed to be angry, it was actually played around by a child, what is the majesty of the pig king?

"Stupid pig, stinky pig, my sister is standing here, there is a kind of bump into me!" Standing in front of the big tree, Ye Lan provoked the wild boar.

Although the types of "roaring ......" are different and the language is different, the provocative look on Ye Lan's face is extremely obvious, and the dignity is challenged again, and the pig king is angry, and the two pigs' feet keep digging the ground, expressing their anger, and at the same time making preparations to charge.

"Sister!" Seeing this, Lan only felt that his mind was blank, and his body was stiff and unable to move, which was terrifying.

Ye Lanxin also lifted up with the wild boar's movements, but her face became more and more calm, and her hands were clenched tightly, she only had such a chance, and she couldn't waste it.
