Chapter 83: Rokuro Goes Up the Mountain
The day before leaving, the two went to the mountainside early in the morning to hunt and pick fungus mushrooms.
Xiao Hei next to his feet ran happily, but He Mai lowered his head and pondered as if he had something on his mind.
"What do you think?" Yang Liulang asked suddenly.
"Liulang, I think Ming'er will start to ask Brother Xu to borrow two herbal illustrated books to recognize herbs." He Mai said thoughtfully.
Yang Liulang was puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to recognize herbs?" ”
He Mai raised his eyes, looked at Yang Liulang seriously, and said, "Pick some herbs and go back to sell them for silver!" That day, I heard Brother Xu say that there are a lot of herbs on this mountain, what is Angelica He Shou Wu saffron...... That's a lot. ”
"If I know herbs, I can not only pick mushrooms and fungus when I go up the mountain with you every day, but let's go to the market once a month and sell the herbs we have saved to the pharmacy, wouldn't it be able to increase our income?" She looked at Yang Liulang with a smile, "I also have to be diligent and make more contributions, just rely on you to hunt, it's really hard for you." ”
Yang Liulang looked at her supple and well-behaved smile and speak to herself, and the heart beating in her chest was incomparably soft, and it was full of tenderness.
He was so pleased with Hemai's lovely and gentle appearance, and whenever at this time, he forgot the sporadic alienation that Hemai usually showed to him, and the two were as affectionate as if they were real husband and wife, sweet and loving.
"No problem," Yang Liulang agreed happily, almost blurting out, "I'll take care of Xu Jiang to borrow the book when I go back in a while, and read it with you." ”
He Mai tilted his head, "You want to see it too?" ”
"Yes," Rokuro replied as a matter of course, "You must have me by your side when you go up the mountain on weekdays, so what is the lack of work to recognize herbs?" ”
He looked at He Mai gently, "The sooner you save the money, the sooner you can move to the town to change Hemai's big house, right?" ”
"Yes!" Seeing that he agreed, He Mai nodded happily, his eyes rolled, and he laughed again, "Actually, you want to tell me that I can't go up the mountain alone even if I know herbs, right?" Whoa—I can hear you! ”
Rokuro was amused by her clever appearance, and nodded along with her meaning: "Yes, this mountain is dangerous, but you are not allowed to go alone, you know?" ”
"Yes!" He Mai replied with crooked eyes.
On the day he went up to the mountain to hunt, Hemai prepared a lot of food for Rokuro.
An oil cake with three layers of roast pork, fragrant and fluffy steamed buns, and a packet of mustard shredded pork.
"I know you can't put too much stuff in hunting, but if you can't come back in two days, I'm afraid this food won't be enough." He Mai instructed and put all the food into Rokuro's bag.
The two were worried about each other, and Liulang hurriedly ate his meal, and said to He Mai before going out, "This time I am going to go to a farther place, maybe I will come back in a few days." After a while, you will take it to grandma, and you have been living at home for the past few days, so you will go to Xu Jiang if you have anything, and there is one more point, you are not allowed to go up the mountain by yourself, you know? ”
"Got it." He Mai nodded, "I don't have anything at home, you have to be careful in the mountains." Come back early. ”
He Mai looked at Rokuro's figure for a long time, until Rokuro's figure disappeared into the shadow of the tree, and then turned back in amazement.
The house was empty again, and only she and Xiao Hei stared at each other.
"Xiao Hei, go and get grandma." She touched Blackie's head and gave orders to it.
Xiao Heiwang screamed twice, quickly got out from under the fence, and rushed towards the Qin family's thatched courtyard to the east.
After a while, on the path to the east, I saw Xiao Hei's black figure slowly pacing over with a needlework basket in his mouth, and Qin walked over with a smile behind Xiao Hei.
"Milk, why did you bring so many eggs, you haven't eaten them yet." He Mai looked at the egg basket in Qin's hand and said helplessly.
Qin smiled, "That chicken lays eggs quickly, two a day, and I have saved a lot in less than half a month." I'm an old woman and I don't need to replenish my body, so wouldn't it be nice for you and Rokuro to eat? ”
He Mai shook his head, "Why don't you have to replenish your body?" There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it should be eaten by grandma if it is delicious and delicious! ”
"You kid," Qin pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile.
Now it's the early summer weather in Jinru, sitting outside to choose vegetables or reading a book, being exposed to the sun, and the whole body is warm.
He Mai went to the vegetable field and watered it, and chose two handfuls of shallots to return to the house.
The Qin family strewn clothes, shoes and socks in the courtyard, and several of them were still the clothes worn by He Mai when he lived here last time.
He Mai was embarrassed, "Milk, I'm so stupid, I can't do this needlework...... It's not easy to sew, but within two days of sewing, the opening is even bigger! ”
Qin Shi said indifferently: "What is that?" The fabric of your garment is not strong in the first place, and it has been worn for a long time, but it will not always be torn? Look at the dress that Rokuro bought for you, you don't need to sew and mend it, don't you? ”
He Mai nodded, "Yes, how expensive are those clothes!" Besides, I don't want to wear it. ”
Qin Shi said again: "Didn't Liulang pull back two feet of cloth for you a few days ago? Have you made clothes? ”
On the day when Liulang went to send He Lin back to the academy, he pulled two feet of flower cloth in the cloth shop on the street.
Huang Yingying's flower cloth and wheat liked it very much, and the next day she took it to the tailor's shop in the village and asked the tailor to sew clothes.
"It's done, I'll go to the tailor and get it in the next few days." He Mai smiled, "I also made one for grandma, I took your old clothes, there is a size, make sure it is appropriate!" ”
"Hey, why don't you make one for me!" Qin shook his head disapprovingly, "I'm not as young as you are, what are you doing in those floral clothes?" ”
"Grandma, don't be an old woman, old woman, where are you old? Looks younger than Aunt Fang! ”
Qin Shi smiled, "Are you praising grandma or burying grandma?" ”
He Mai also smiled, "Of course I praised you." ”
At noon, Hemai took a rabbit and was about to go to the stove room to do it, but the Qin family saw it and hurriedly stopped it.
"Rokuro isn't at home either, what are you doing with this? Wait for Rokuro to come back, make him something delicious, and just get a bite at noon today. Qin said.
He Mai said: "There are several rabbits at home, enough for it." ”
"Then save some food," Qin said softly, "Be obedient, just take a bite, and there are no outsiders, why do you make these delicious foods?" ”
He Mai had no choice, so he had to fry a bowl of meat sauce, put down two handfuls of noodles, and cut some extra shredded cucumbers and minced green onions, and simply ate them with Qin's, which was refreshing and full.
