After the two got up, Lin Kangping opened the door, opened the window, and just finished washing, the Li family of Wang Tieshan's family brought a food box over, a few light side dishes and snacks, a bowl of hot porridge per person, after the meal, Lin Kangping pulled Ziqing around the house, it was really a house built of pure large stones, "When did you build the house?" I remember when I came here with my grandma, they hadn't started to build yet? ”

"I started to build it after the Dragon Boat Festival, this stone is not easy to find, it took some time, I originally wanted to build wood, thinking that you used to live in a small cabin, there is nothing unusual, so I changed you to a stone [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 237]."

There was also a small pond dug in the small garden, like a patio, and there was an osmanthus tree next to it, and a set of stone tables and chairs under the tree, and a cobblestone corridor, and a few bushes of roses were planted sparsely, but the leaves were all yellow.

Lin Kangping took out a set of clothes and pants from the closet, the legs of the pants were tight, and asked Ziqing to change them, "I will encircle you at home every day, and I will take you into the mountains to play today, and I won't go far, just behind here." ”

It is said that Ziqing has been here for more than ten years, and she has not been in the mountains a few times, but she has beaten the pine tower and hugged the pine hair at the foot of the mountain behind the village.

The two changed their clothes, Lin Kangping took a few pieces of snacks and walked towards the small gate of the orange orchard, along the way, chickens could be seen everywhere looking for insects in the grass to eat, sheep eating grass slowly, and occasionally a few rabbits came out and disappeared quickly.

"It's not surprising that this orange orchard is not only an orchard, but also a hunting place." Ziqing said with a smile.

"Yes, this is all the credit of our Qing'er, why don't we buy a piece of the barren mountain behind us, and simply get a forest garden and get more small animals to come in, what do you say?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to buy Kangzhuang. But if we want to do it bigger and make it bigger, we have limited energy at present, and we can't find the right person for a while. Ziqing thought for a while and said. The stalls are spread too big. There are a lot of things to worry about, Ziqing doesn't want to deliberately get a forest garden to hunt for a while, after all, this area is surrounded by mountains, there is no need.

Out of the small gate, there was a barren mountain, only dwarf pine trees and unknown wild thorns, and the thatch was not up to Ziqing's knees. Lin Kangping pulled Ziqing with one hand, along the sheep intestine path, over this barren mountain, and entered a pine forest, Ziqing was also a little unable to walk, after all, this body was too lacking in exercise.

After a short rest, the two walked through the pine trees for more than half an hour. Ziqing saw a small stream, and the two of them went up along the stream, and the thatch and thorns on the side of the stream were dense. Lin Kangping said: "Let's rest here, don't go inside, one is too far and unsafe, and the other is that your body can't bear it." ”

Ziqing nodded and agreed, already sweating, sticky, the two found a rock and sat down, Ziqing put her hand into the stream, it was cold and a little biting. Lin Kangping said: "I should bring you over in the spring, the mountains are full of red mountains, you must like it." ”

Ziqing seems to have some impression that when she was in her hometown, there was a tree in the mountains in the south, which seemed to be called an oak tree. The fruit is called an acorn, which can be ground to make acorn flour tofu, the ash is not thorny, put some chives and chili powder, the taste is not bad. I don't know if there is any here, Ziqing has a vague impression, the acorns are not big, and the skin seems to be brownish-red, so he pulled Lin Kangping up and said: "Let's go and find out, are there any wild fruits to eat, and I remember that when I was young, the second brother went out to pick up loose hair, and he could always pick up some wild eggs and come back, so let's try it too." ”

Saying that, Ziqing said the size, shape, and use of the acorn, Lin Kangping said: "What kind of tofu you said is there, I have eaten it, and some of it is sold when it is in the market, you don't care, the oak tree you said, but you have to go deep into the mountains, and there is definitely no such edge [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 237]. However, we can try our luck with the wild eggs you are talking about. ”

The two of them each took a stick, mainly to scare the snake, not to mention, the two searched all over the grass by the stream, and really found a few pheasant nests, the most incredible thing for Ziqing was that there were pheasants flying out of the nest, Lin Kangping actually threw them directly with the stick in his hand and caught two big pheasants.

Xi Ziqing ran over and picked it up, one of them was still alive, but it was still dead after a few jumps, "I always say that you have a little bit of kung fu, and today I really saw it, and you can actually use a small wooden stick to solve the pheasant, which is going to touch a rabbit?" ”

"I'll let you see a rabbit coming soon." Lin Kangping was happy to see Ziqing, and he didn't mind killing chickens with a knife.

Lin Kangping found a few small branches in his hand, took Ziqing in one hand, and walked to the mountain, the mountains in late autumn are still a little cool, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, the leaves of the maple tree are red, shining with golden red light, there are falling red leaves everywhere, they all say that the red leaves represent the acacia and represent the strong longing, Ziqing has collected the maple leaves before and sent them to Liu Cen in the letter, now the times have changed, Ziqing's heart has no regrets, Lin Kangping has always been by his side, Ziqing looked up and smiled at Lin Kangping.

Halfway up the mountain, Lin Kangping looked up at the position of the sun, stopped going up, and said, "Let's rest here, and let's wait for the rabbit, it's time to go down the mountain in a while." ”

The two sat on the ground, Ziqing leaned on Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping held Ziqing with his hand, making Ziqing more comfortable, Ziqing was idle and holding Lin Kangping's hand, his hands were thick calluses, new and old, Ziqing asked: "Where did the cocoon on your hand come from, and I haven't seen you take anything?" ”

"It's nothing, it's practiced."

As he was talking, Lin Kangping quickly pulled out of Ziqing's hand, picked up the small stone at hand and bounced it, and really hit a rabbit, Ziqing smiled: "This trick is to throw a hidden weapon." ”

Ziqing was not interested in this hairy thing, Lin Kangping went to pick it up himself, and said: "Okay, the pheasant is there, the rabbit has been caught, today's harvest is okay, let's go down the mountain." ”

Ziqing picked up a few stones, saw Lin Kangping looking at her with a smile, and said with a smile: "Well, maybe when we go down the mountain, we can have other gains, so I want to prepare weapons for you first." ”

It's a pity that I didn't see a hare when I got out of the pine forest, but I caught two pheasants, and the stones were not in vain.

"Kangping, if we can't live one day, you can feed our whole family by hunting." Ziqing looked at Lin Kangping with adoration on her face.

Lin Kangping pinched Ziqing's nose dotingly and smiled.

The two returned to the orange garden at dusk, and Ziqing simply went back to the Qingyuan directly, there are so many things. It's a pity that Lin Kangping didn't agree.

Sister-in-law Li saw that there was movement here, so she brought food over and said, "Boss, the mandarin oranges on this tree are also red, isn't it time to pick them off?" ”

"By the way, the first batch of mandarin oranges in our orchard, not to mention that I almost forgot about it." Ziqing said that the wind is the rain, pulled Kangping and walked out, and Sister-in-law Li led the way in front.

The last time Ziqing came, I remembered that there were about 100 or so orange trees blooming, this time I looked at it in the sunset, rows of fruit trees, the branches were full of oranges, yellow and green, it was very good-looking, Ziqing smiled happily, but unfortunately, Ziqing's height was a little low, and she couldn't reach the fruit trees.

Lin Kangping picked a few from different trees, Ziqing carried them around with her clothes, and gave a few to Sister-in-law Li, who went to get busy.

After dinner, Ziqing tasted the oranges, and felt that the gap with the Gannan navel oranges in the previous life was still large, a little sour, but it was better than the one in the back mountain when Ziqing was a girl in her mother's house, and it was rare in this era, and it was good to take it out to relieve greasy during the New Year.

"Ming'er asked Lin An to pick oranges and dig a cellar." Ziqing said.

"Don't worry, I've got you. I just want to ask you, did you have a good day? Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and sat on the small collapse of the room.

"Happy, I just don't know how Rui'er is?" Ziqing was still a little reluctant to think about it.

"Huh? It's not that I said, just let's spend a day, you can only think about me. After a while, the water will be ready, and I will wait for you to bathe. Lin Kangping rubbed Ziqing's face.

Saying that the two of them are in love here, the old man and they came back from Yan Village, Tian and the old man pulled their long faces, and Zhou couldn't help but smile.

"Two sons, one is working at the yamen of Anzhou, the other is Xiucai, the son of the family is still waiting in the capital to send officials, which one can also scare those arrogant and unreasonable poor men, but none of you will come out." Tian complained a little that Zeng Ruiqing and Zeng Ruixiang didn't help, and chattered.

"Mother, it's not that I don't come out, but this matter is the fault of Chunyu and her eldest brother-in-law, how can I get ahead? How do I come out? Zeng Ruixiang is also very uncomfortable at this time, his own sister-in-law can really do anything for a few taels of silver, it seems that in the future, I really want to stay away from them, and it is best not to get along.

"That's it, mother, Xianggong is a scholar, and he will only be beaten when he goes up. In this case, who can calm down and listen to you? Is it possible that you are willing to watch your son be beaten for nothing. Shen listened to Tian's words and was a little unpleasant, so he echoed a few words from Xianggong.

Zeng Ruixiang's only patience and pity for Chunyu will be tossed away by themselves. There are also the old man and the Tian family, things have come to this point, and they still don't hold Chunyu to blame, and they are still blaming the two sons for not coming forward in time, Zeng Ruixiang's heart is really cold. Of course, the old man and Tian didn't know what Zeng Ruixiang was thinking at this time, and when they knew later, it was too late to regret it.

At that time, Tian listened to Shen's words, but thought that it would be good if Lin Kangping was here, Lin Kangping is tall and big, I heard that he is good at martial arts, but he never dreamed that today's turmoil was because of whom.

When Tian was thinking about Lin Kangping, Lin Kangping was holding Ziqing on the stepping bed and put down the curtain. (To be continued)
