Chapter 247 Strange Box
"Mother, who do you see coming?" As soon as Lian'er entered the house, she said loudly, her voice full of joy.
"Hey, it's Zisu and Kang'er who are back, this is just coming down from the mountain, what is Kang'er doing, wrestling, take off your pants, your aunt will wash you, and it will be dry when you go back in the afternoon." Aunt Niu was also very happy and took off Xiao Zikang's pants to wash.
"Auntie, I'm sorry for you, the road on the mountain is slippery, and I accidentally fell, fortunately I still have a pair of pants, otherwise Kang'er would have a bare ass." Zisu had been prepared for a long time, but he was also afraid that it would be too cold in the morning, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
"Okay, you talk first, Kang'er, go with your aunt to see the ducklings, they've all grown so big." Aunt Niu took Xiao Zikang and went to the duck.
"Susu, I miss you to death, now our village has changed a lot, everyone is busy clearing the wasteland, all thanks to that canal. Children are not running around mischief, they are all busy herding ducks and raising ducks, and they are all like little adults. ”
"You see our ducks, I usually raise them, my brother will give me the grass on the mountain, and pick the herbs you gave us to feed them, and they are not sick, my mother said, it is estimated that they will be able to lay eggs in another month."
Lian'er's small mouth was like a machine gun, and she said a lot of words suddenly, and she seemed to be a little fatter, and her face was more ruddy.
"I think you're like those ducklings, you've grown taller and fatter!" Zi Su joked about Lian'er.
"Isn't it, my brother's skills are getting better and better now, and he will come back every few days with something, but he doesn't want to eat people fat! Some time ago, a big wild boar fell into a trap on the edge of the ground, but everyone was so happy that they bought some money, and everyone in the village had a share. Lian'er said happily with her legs dangling.
"That's good, this wild boar is a nasty guy, not to mention stealing crops, if someone encounters it, it will hurt people, so everyone should be careful." Zisu was a little worried, this Lijia Village was really too close to the mountain, and it was not uncommon for wild beasts to infest and hurt people.
"It's not, but now it's not so afraid of people, there are traps around the village, and rope sleeves, Brother He and I insist on practicing martial arts every day, even if something comes down, it won't be without the ability to resist."
"It's all your work, everyone says that if it weren't for you, I don't know how much this crop would have been destroyed." Lian'er did not hesitate to praise herself.
"It's not that everyone has learned well, I'm just providing a method, how dare you take credit, how are your embroidery skills, the kang screen I've seen before can be embroidered?" Zisu took over the conversation.
"It's already embroidered, I'll show it to you, wait!" When it comes to embroidery, Lian'er follows the clockwork.
"You see, it has been embroidered and cleaned, and the color of this embroidery thread does not fall off at all, and after passing through the water, the color is more bright and dazzling." Lian'er unfolded the kang screen to Zisu.
"Well, it's really amazing, this flower is the same as the real thing, and it can be taken out to attract butterflies." Although Zisu doesn't know how to embroider and embroidery, he can still see the good and bad at a glance.
"It just so happens that you are here this time, and I have also made a lot of handkerchiefs, purses, and sachet fan pendants, you can help me take them out and sell them." Lian'er took a small bag of things to Zisu.
"I'm here this time, I also want to take you out to live for a few days, I have a little girl named Xiaoxiao, the embroidery work is also good, you can still learn from each other, it's not boring, by the way, look at my new home."
Zisu has long had this plan, Lian'er is her only friend in this world, so she naturally wants to be closer.
"Okay, but I don't know if my father and mother will agree, I'll ask her when my mother comes back." Of course, Lian'er wanted to go to Zisu's house to have a look, she hadn't been out for a long time, and she had gone out three times since she was a child, and one of them was with Zisu.
"Okay, don't stay too long, I'll send you back, don't worry, I can't kidnap you!" Zisu leaned against the head of the bed and smiled figuratively.
Zisu talked to Lian'er for a while, and then went to each house to see the situation of the ducks, which is an important project for Zisu to increase the income of the villagers.
Everyone also warmly welcomed Zisu, and all the ducks were very dedicated, and said that they wanted to buy more duck seedlings, and Zisu also agreed one by one.
Zisu went to see his grandfather again, the old man didn't look at his age, he was not deaf and blind, he told Zisu some things, and took Zisu around.
"Zisu girl, your idea of this canal is good, you see, here, it's all newly opened wasteland, and this year must be a bumper harvest year." Grandpa walked on crutches to show Zisu the newly opened land.
"This is all under the leadership of my grandfather, I see that the canal is well maintained, and it can be dug wider, and the ducks can be put down if they raise more ducks in the future." Zisu looked at the ducks that had been changed their fur, black or white, floating on the surface of the water, and gave advice.
"Well, everyone is busy with work this year, next year, double the canal, and you can raise some fish or something, hehe." Grandpa was very happy with the changes in the village.
"Grandpa, I see that it is quite inconvenient for people in our village to go out to buy or sell some things, I don't know if it is feasible for me to have a proposal?" Zisu asked.
"Say, what you said is for the welfare of the people in the village, what else can't be done, say it!" Grandpa stroked his beard and sat down on a large clean stone.
"I also have some people in my hands now, I think, if there is anything in our village that we want to buy, or want to sell, we are ready, I will send someone over every seven days, bring you something to buy or sell, and wait for the next time to settle the account, what do you think?" Zisu said what he thought.
"You kid, you look cold, in fact, you have a lot of people in your heart, what's wrong with this, I can't ask for it." Grandpa laughed.
"I've thought about it, grandpa doesn't want people to know about the existence of Lijia Village, only by reducing the number of people in the village can we better protect the people in the village, I am also a member of Lijia Village, although I don't live in the village, when will Kang Er and I be from Lijia Village." Zisu still has a sense of belonging to Lijia Village.
"Okay, good boy, it is a blessing for Lijia Village to have a child like you, your grandmother is a wonderful woman, and your father is an outstanding person, but he died young."
"Fortunately, you and Kang'er are both good children, grandpa has to live a long time, and look at you children who are healthy and healthy." The more grandpa talked, the happier he became.
"You will naturally live well for a long time, and your health is a blessing for us juniors."
"Grandpa, you take this elixir, it is the exclusive secret recipe of my master and his old man, it strengthens the body, it is good for the body, Kang'er is the one who eats this, the medicine is not strong, and it will not have any burden on the body." Zisu took out a small medicine bottle, which was also prepared before coming back.
"Okay, grandpa accepted it, my old bones still have this blessing, good boy." Grandpa was not polite to Zisu.
"Child, you take this thing, if Lijiacun is fine, you can keep it well, you can't open it, if, if Lijiacun is in trouble, you can take this box and open it, and you will understand the contents at a glance."
Grandpa took out a flat wooden box from his arms, which looked like rosewood, but he didn't expect such a precious wood to appear in such a small village.
"Grandpa, this?" Zisu didn't answer, she intuitively felt that this was a hot potato, and looked at her grandfather hesitantly.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, on the contrary, it's a big opportunity, but the ancestors of Lijia Village avoided it because of this thing, this thing, it's not safe to put it on me, you are a person with great luck, you take it, grandpa rest assured." Grandpa solemnly handed the box to Zisu.
Zisu let out a long breath, whether it was a blessing or a curse, he couldn't avoid it, "Since Grandpa Grandpa trusts me, I will use my life to guard him, if Lijia Village is in trouble, Grandpa Grandpa must send me a letter." ”
"Okay, okay, then let's go back, grandpa is tired too." Grandpa slowly stood up, holding Zisu's hand, and the westerly sun shone softly on the two people, constantly stretching and stretching the shadows of the two people.
When I came, there were two sisters and brothers, and when I went back, I added Lian'er, and Aunt Niu sent the three of them to the entrance of the village, and they stood for a long time before going back.
"Zisu, isn't Da Hei too tired like this?" Lian'er was riding Da Hei for the first time, and when the three of them rode together, Lian'er was a little worried, but fortunately, Da Hei's saddle was a wide one, and the three of them had children to sit down.
"Don't worry, he eats so many good things from me every day, it's time for him to contribute, Da Hei, drive!" Zisu pinched the horse's belly in the back, Da Hei snorted, ran up, and kept accelerating, so frightened that Lian'er grabbed the saddle and screamed loudly, Xiao Zikang laughed at Lian'er heartlessly.
"Kang'er, you are not kind, you dare to laugh at me, I won't be with you in the future!" Lian'er was so angry that she only dared to speak, but she didn't dare to look back.
"Sister Lian'er, don't worry, Da Hei is very measured, he runs very steadily, and he will help us hide from the branches." Xiao Zikang's trust in Da Hei is sufficient.
"I don't dare, the big black is so high, if you turn me upside down, my little arms and legs will have to be broken." Lian'er was still so nervous that the purple spirit mink squatting on Zisu's shoulder laughed deliciously.
The three of them were not in a hurry to talk and laugh along the way, Lian'er was very nervous at first, but later she was much more relaxed, and sang a small tune, Zisu couldn't hear what the words were, but felt that the singing was melodious and refreshing.
