Chapter 16: Picking Up People
The sky was bright, and the door of Lin Yuan's house was slammed. Accompanied by the sound of banging on the door, several female voices of different heights were laughing and scolding, and the graceful tone had the unique crispness of a peasant woman.
"Wan Niang, Wan Niang, we are going to the mountains to pick wild mushrooms, can you go with you?" This is the sound of chrysanthemums.
Wen Wanzheng took a grate to comb her hair, pinched the butterfly golden hairpin in her hand, and was about to insert it into her black hair. Hearing the voice, he hurriedly put down the hairpin and poked his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, and then happily ran to the door with his skirt and shoes on his feet.
Opening the courtyard gate, standing at the door was a row of young women, including chrysanthemums, all wearing hats, old clothes and shoes, carrying bamboo baskets, and holding sickles in their hands to dress the same.
"Go, go, wait for me for a while, and I'll change my clothes and come." She hurriedly replied, she had already wanted to explore the mountain behind the village, maybe she could also dig up human body Ganoderma lucidum?
"Then hurry up, the sun looks like you're going to get up," someone couldn't help urging in a hurry.
She changed into the same dress as them in a hurry, and took the fire fold just in case.
When I walked to the door, I saw that Lin Yuan hadn't gone out yet, and was squatting on the threshold of the kitchen eating the hot egg scones that had just come out of the pot. She slowed her pace and walked over with a smile on her face.
"Are you going to take ingots with you to go around the town today? He was so lonely at home every day. She crouched down and consulted with the man in front of her.
Lin Yuan looked at her magnified smiling face, frowned, and was disgusted, "Don't go!" ”。
Wen Wan watched this man take out the momentum of the head of the family, knowing that she couldn't talk about this stubborn cow, her eyes rolled, "Okay, I'll go talk to them, they are still waiting at the door!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Yuan to answer, he walked out of the courtyard gate quickly, rushed forward with broken steps with the chrysanthemum, and said repeatedly, "Hurry up!" Come on! ”
Lin Yuan finished eating all the cakes, and seeing that Wen Wan had not returned to the house, he walked over and opened the courtyard door, but there was not even a bird at the door.
He was so angry that he scolded loudly: "Lin Wen, you wait!" Look at Lao Tzu who comes back at night and doesn't pick your skin! I'm so used to you going to heaven! ”
After scolding, he went back to the house angrily, and brought the child who was sleeping soundly with the quilt on the bed to resist the quilt, and threw it on his newly bought donkey cart. Yuan Bao slept like a pig, except for "humming" twice, he didn't even open his eyes, obviously being harassed.
An hour later, there was a woman sitting on the dirt road at the foot of the mountain, holding a hat in her hand and fanning the wind, her fair face was hot and red, and beads of sweat were dripping into her neck.
Wen Wan really can't walk, this broken mountain is far from it, and there is not even a serious road. She had to use a sickle to shovel out waist-high weeds after two steps, and her arms and legs had been cut with red marks, which were swollen and painful and itchy.
She looked at the group of chattering and laughing women in front of her, and admired it in her heart.
Chrysanthemum looked back and saw Qi Niang sitting on the ground panting, without the slightest image. Laughing pulled her up from the ground and carried her back into the mountains.
"It's all here, you have to go into the mountains to see before you go! Your body is a little weaker, and I can run two times faster than you. Such a peasant woman with such a large body and delicate skin and tender flesh looks like the men in the family are used to it.
It was easy to walk to the side of a few trees full of mushrooms in the mountains, and the women cut the mushrooms with their hands and feet and put them in the basket, exhaled gently, and sat down to look at the place. It's a pity that I haven't even seen a pheasant!
The mushroom looks a bit like matsutake mushrooms, but it's orange-red. These people seemed to like this mushroom very much, and they didn't bother to say anything, but buried their heads and carefully cut off its roots, and then put the mushroom in the box like a treasure.
A dark and thin woman looked gentle and did not move, raised her sleeves to wipe her forehead, saw the fine sweat and smiled, "Haven't you seen it?" This mushroom and leek are fried and eaten very fresh, and it is a good dish. The restaurants in the city sell a lot of silver dollars a mile! Only this stubble grows in a year, there are roots, and you can still pick it in the next year! ”
These young women, with weathered faces and calloused hands, spend their days racking their brains to help their husbands share the burden of the family and feed their babies.
Wen Wan followed their example, and slowly used a sickle to gently cut mushrooms on the tree. Only then did she realize that Lin Yuan had raised her too well, she was more squeamish than anyone in this village, and even more comfortable than herself in her previous life.
She thought that if she hadn't met Lin Yuan, or if she was still working hard in her previous life, she might either be displaced to death in this other world, or she would be lonely all her life with that ice-like heart. Those who hurt her may be right, for them, she just doesn't matter.
At this time, Lin He'an woke up from the donkey cart and saw not his mother, but two hot white-faced meat buns wrapped in yellow paper. He loves to eat the town's Wang Ji big meat bun, the skin is thin and the filling is tender, and the oil bumps out when he takes a bite.
His mother can do everything, but she can't make buns, and the buns she makes don't eat when you throw them to the dogs.
Yuan Bao was just about to put the bun in his mouth, and he might as well rush into the donkey cart carport with a richly dressed but dirty and smelly yellow-mouthed child, while lifting the corner of the curtain to look out, while shaking his body and turning his head to glare at him with vicious wolf-like eyes.
Yuan Bao was startled, and with tears in his eyes, he was about to call his working father outside the car to come to support. Seeing this, the villain covered Yuanbao's mouth, staring outside with sweat on his face, and his body collapsed tightly.
The car was terrifyingly quiet, and Yuan Bao was grabbing the big meat bun he didn't have time to eat with both hands and waving it vigorously, let him eat two bites before kidnapping!
The figures of the two mothers-in-law outside the donkey cart flickered by, and the dirty man fell on his shoulders. Seeing that the person who was covered by himself had a bun in his hand, he couldn't care about the hostage, so he grabbed a bun and devoured it and chewed it, and rolled his eyes from time to time, but he beat his chest and grabbed another bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
Who is Lin He'an? Plum Village total dart handle! Who would dare to snatch food from his mouth? He took two steps past the people who were eating happily, lifted the curtains, and shouted to the man who was lying on the roof of the shop.
"Daddy! Father! Someone snatched my buns! Come and beat him up! He held his head high and looked at the people who were cowering in the carriage and nibbling on buns. He has a younger brother and a backstage!
It's a pity that his father was working hard to build the roof, and he was so engrossed in it that he didn't hear it at all.
After shouting for a long time and seeing that his father was unmoved, Lin He'an blushed and shouted again, "Lin Yuan!" Lin Yuan! Your mother-in-law sees you're here! ”
Sure enough, Lin Yuan lay down the ladder from the roof, standing in front of his donkey cart with the guy in his hand and looking around. When he saw his red-eyed son, he was stunned.
"Where's your mother?" Didn't you say that Wan Niang is here?
"Dad, he snatched my buns!" His little tender hand pointed straight into the carport, and his mouth was grunted and aggrieved.
Lin Yuan saw that there was really a baby in the donkey cart, and he was dressed very decently, and he looked as big as his son. He put down the guy in his hand and lifted the curtain to look at the child who was glaring at him viciously.
"What's your name? Whose child is it? Lost? "The luxurious clothes on this kid Lin Yuan have never seen in the entire Qingzhou City.
"Wang ....... Wang Shu "The child trembled with white and dry lips, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in water, and he fainted after answering a question selectively.
Lin Yuan and Lin He'an stared wide-eyed, "What kind of messy thing do you know?" ”
Lin He'an: ........
You're old, you have the final say!
"You stay here, I'll take him to the infirmary, and go in and eat by himself when he's hungry." After explaining to his son, Lin Yuan picked up the person and walked to the medical hall, this shop was all taken care of by his fellow villagers, and his son was already familiar.
Yuan Bao stood by the donkey cart and hugged the donkey who was chewing grass and snorting, looking at his father's increasingly blurred back with bitterness and hatred, "It turns out that this is a meat bun beating a dog, has it gone or not?" ”
The donkey named Little Black shook his head, impatiently trying to drive away the noisy villain: What are you talking about? Delay him from eating!
Lin Yuan didn't expect to take a little doll to grab medicine and see a doctor, which delayed him for most of the day, and then carried people back to the shop and tossed it until it was dark. I haven't even found anyone for such a long time, and I don't know what happened to me when my body is dirty and smelly?
But he didn't know where no one was looking, but in fact, the two mothers-in-law were crazy looking for him.
"How good is this, we took the money from Mrs. Cao to kill him! I'm still waiting for this money to get married! Thinking of this bloated mother-in-law, she cried.
"It's all useless for your mother, and you don't have money to marry a wife, my son!" The more she cried, the sadder she became.
Another tall and thin mother-in-law pulled her and said to her in a low voice, "What are you panicking about!" Run, run! Running away is also the luck of that child! You see what it is. ”
The fat mother-in-law stopped crying and said strangely, "This, this is not the child's personal jade pendant!" How could it be with you? ”
The tall and thin mother-in-law snorted coldly, "Look at that kid is not a person who is waiting for death, he looks obedient and stupid, but in fact, his eyes are very bright, and the old woman and I have read countless people to guard against him." Let's take this jade pendant to restore our lives, presumably that Cao Pozi can't detect it. ”
The fat woman breathed a sigh of relief and softened her body, "That's good, that's good, so that we don't have to carry a human life." Old sister, you still have a way! ”
Wen Wantian went down the mountain before it was dark, cooked the rice and pulled the apron, and when the time came, the father and son did not return, anxious like ants on a hot pot, usually Lin Yuan also returned at the latest hour.
She was just about to go out to look for it, the courtyard door opened, and the man holding the child was not her man, she frowned and looked worried.
"Why are you back now? But something is delayed? Yuan ...... "was stunned before she finished speaking, what her husband was holding in his arms was not her child!"
Lin Yuan scolded and scolded, "Hmph, he slept soundly on the car, and he tossed me!" Pick up such a person for me, not to mention that my bones fell apart if I didn't do the job! ”
Wen Wan stood in the courtyard and looked at her husband who was carrying people to the house, and then looked at the donkey cart carrying her son, only to feel that her head was big! The passing year is not good, this is!
