The porridge and pickles made at night, the mother and wife ate fragrantly, relaxed and comfortable.

When he came back before dark, Xia Li bathed it, cleaned its mouth, and fed it a pot of chicken soup bibimbap with braised pork.

It rained at night, and Xia Li didn't go out, and he dreamed until dawn. If it wasn't raining, she would take Dangdang to the backyard every night to see the situation in the mountains, but she didn't see the scary golden python again.

By the beginning of August, the hottest season had passed, the weather was much cooler, and the rice paddies were golden.

Xiao Xia Ju is very accustomed to living in his new home, and he is not as careful as before. was intimate with his mother, sister and Dangdang, and played with Erhu and other children playing with mud and stones, and never said anything about him before he came.

Xia Li felt that the good days in front of him had made him forget many things before, or he didn't want to think about the past again.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Xia family harvested peanuts. Because only one acre of peanuts were planted, the men continued to do business, and only all the women went to the field, and Mrs. Xia came to grab labor again.

Xia, as before, agreed to help himself, but did not allow Xia to leave.

Seeing that Mrs. Xia was so angry that her liver hurt, Xia Li snorted secretly, not to mention that Mrs. Xia didn't let her go, even if she let her go, she would find an excuse to excuse herself. Those who you helped and thought he should be, but they just couldn't help.

Xia Wei hurt Xia's hard work, so she went home for dinner at night, stewed a hen today, and there was some ginseng left, and she also stewed it.

She was reluctant to kill her own laying hens, so she led Xia Ju and Dangdang to the town, bought a hen and a few pieces of dried tofu, and bought a meat bun for Xiao Zhengtai.

When I returned to the village, I passed by Hao's land, and I met Erhu, Dazhu, and Dunzi children picking peanuts on the roadside to eat. The peanut harvest season is also the happiest time for country children. There is a good smell of fresh peanuts in the wind, and the peanuts you pick up do not need to be handed over, and after picking them up, you immediately peel off the shell and stuff the peanut kernels into your small mouth, and chew them with a satisfied face.

Xia Li saw that Xia Ju wanted to play, so he let him go, and told Erhu and a few children to play around here and not run away. This piece of land belongs to the Hao family and the Zhou carpenter's family, and they have a good relationship, and they will also help take care of Xia Ju. Xia Li was still afraid that some people would not be satisfied with her family's adoption of the child, so they would be angry with Xia Ju.

Aunt Hao laughed loudly, "Don't worry, let's leave the girl, we will all look at the boy." ”

Xia Li smiled and thanked him.

After returning home, Xia Li put the chicken away and stewed it in the pot, smelled the ginseng again, and said, "If you smell this smell when you go up the mountain, come back and tell my sister." ”

She was ashamed of her wealth and whimsy. It's crazy to be poor!

At noon, Erhu and Dazhu sent Xia Ju home very responsibly, and said, "Leaving my sister (Aunt Xia), we don't allow others to bully Brother Ju (Little Uncle)." ”

Da Zhu is Uncle Hao's eldest grandson and Hao Yunxiu's nephew, who is a generation lower.

Xia Li washed the faces of the three dirty boys, and invited the two of them to have dinner at home together, and today she made chicken noodles. The noodles are fragrant and delicious, and the three children have round stomachs.

After the meal, she gave them two pieces of candy each, and asked Dazhu to take Xia Ju to his house to play. Hao Yunxiu is about to get married, and the family is afraid that she will get tanned and will not let her go to the ground. She was watching the child at home, and Xia Li was relieved. Even if the Xia family helped the Xia family, Xia Li was unwilling to let Xia Ju go to the Xia family.

After the children left, Xia Li suppressed the fire in the stove, and carried the basket on his back, with a slingshot and a dangdang into the mountain from the east of his house. Today, she is going to take advantage of Xia's absence to go to the mountains to hunt some prey, more precisely, to catch beautiful birds.

On a cliff, where there is little vegetation and a dangerous road, there are only many rocks and a few shrubs. Animals don't like to go, and neither do people. I don't know why, in the past month, if the weather is particularly good, a few beautiful birds will fly there to play at the beginning of the next day. The small yellow head, the pale red back and wings, and the long white tail like a fan shine brightly in the sun, and the feathers shine brightly, which is very beautiful.

Xia Li didn't know what kind of bird it was, and he hadn't seen any of them in his previous life and in his life, so he wanted to catch one and sell it for money.

Today the sun is shining brightly, the sky is clear, and only a few faint white clouds float in the air. This good weather, thinking that those beautiful birds will definitely go to that place.

The mountain road was rugged, and Xia Li climbed for more than an hour to climb the cliff. Halfway through, she saw that the bird had gone there, and she rejoiced and climbed faster.

Only when I went up did I know that there was a pool of blue pond on the top of the mountain cliff, the pool water was deep and deep, and the blue waves were tumbling and flowing, which was very beautiful. The birds were playing happily on the water, singing cheerful songs.

Afraid of frightening them, Xia Li signaled that he should not approach. She hid behind a boulder dozens of meters away, took out a slingshot, put the projectile, and saw a bird flying out of the sky over Bitan, and as soon as her hand was released, the bird was shot and fell to the ground, and the other birds were scattered in a hurry.

The bird that landed fluttered its wings, and Xia Li quickly ran over to pick it up. Xia Li mastered the strength, and the projectile hit its little head, which would only stun and not kill.

She tied the bird's wings with a rope and put it in the basket.

Xia Li stood on the cliff and looked at the back mountain, the mountains were steep, the mountains were stacked, and there was no edge in sight. At this time, it is early autumn, and the thick green is mixed with a little bit of gold, which is magnificent like an oil painting. At the bottom of the valley there is a crescent-shaped blue lake, rippling in the breeze, and the sun shines on it, as if it is paved with countless pieces of gold.

In the meadow in the forest, Xia Li saw tigers, bears, apes, deer, monkeys and other animals, as well as beautiful birds, and even a giant panda......

Xia Li hated to wear into a man's body at this time and be a real hunter. Because a few hunters formed a team, they dared to go deeper to hunt.

She retracted her gaze and saw that there were a lot of ripe wild peppercorns on the edge of the cliff, so she picked quite a few. In the sparse bushes, I saw a red and white chrysanthemum like a hydrangea, and when the wind passed, the slender and bright petals drifted out, which was very beautiful. Xia Li could see that this was a chrysanthemum, but he didn't know what it was. It's so beautiful, just dig it up and plant it in a pot. Xia Niang, who used to be a big family Yahuan and a talented lady, still knows some elegance very well.

Thinking about it, she took out a small shovel and dug out the flowers and roots.

Dangdang was not idle, and hunted a fat rabbit. As soon as it took a bite, it was snatched up by Xia Li and told it to share the blessings and have meat to eat with the whole family.

Returning with a full load, Xia Li's mood is as beautiful as the flowers and birds in the basket. She was in a hurry, even if she saw hares, pheasants, squirrels and other small animals on the road, she did not stop to fight.
