After rummaging through the miscellaneous room with an oil lamp for a while, Yang Liulang shouted and asked Hemai: "Hemai, do you remember where that saltpeter was?" ”

He Mai thought for a moment, "Isn't it in the miscellaneous room?" Is it in the stove room? ”

She just wanted to look down and turn around to look for it, but suddenly jumped up, "That stone ......"

Last time, Yang Liulang said that the stone could not be placed in the stove room, so he put it in the cauldron in the miscellaneous room.

Afterwards...... He Mai took out the cauldron to clean up Liu Ermazi, and then ......

She casually put it on the firewood stack......

He Mai chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously jumped back two steps, "Won't it be in the stove?" ”

……

……

The saltpeter is indeed in the hearth, but it is not in the hearth of Hemai's house, but in the hearth of Mrs. Dong's house.

That night, Xu Jiang had just cooked a pot of noodles at home, and was called away by the eldest son of Mrs. Dong, who came in a hurry-his stove was blown up somehow, and his mother's face was full of flowers.

Xu Jiang went to diagnose and treat it, and after checking, it was no big deal except for the damage to the skin and flesh, so he prescribed a few pairs of herbs.

After telling some precautions, he was about to leave, but he saw that Mrs. Dong's family had no intention of asking for a consultation fee.

Mrs. Dong's eldest son was a portrait, squatting in the middle and pretending not to hear; The second son didn't show up in the stove room after Xu Jiang came, so he naturally refused to come out and touch his head at this time.

Dong Laohan is now half-disabled, and he can't take care of himself, let alone take care of Mrs. Dong who is humming on the kang.

Mrs. Dong's face was dark and bloodshot, and she was lying on the bed and hummed weakly, "Yo Xu Langzhong, look at the situation in our family, the six mouths of the family are all pointing at my old woman alone, ......"

Xu Jiang flicked his sleeves and replied lazily: "Then you can lie on the kang, it doesn't matter what it is." It really hurts so much that I panic, so I get a pinch of Guanyin soil and put it on. I will treat this trip as a good deed, and I will not charge you for the consultation! ”

After that, Xu Jiang covered his nose and went out - the smell of gunfire in this house has not yet dissipated, and it is thanks to their family squatting in this house, they are not afraid of choking to death!

Mrs. Dong's two daughters-in-law heard that they would not receive the medical fee, which was like being amnesty!

The two daughters-in-law lowered their heads and hurriedly swept a handful of Guanyin soil and called a man to give medicine, and the taste of Guanyin soil sprinkled on their faces was not pleasant. In the howl of Mrs. Dong's wolf, the son and daughter-in-law gave the old lady medicine with all hands and feet, and then squatted in the middle of the house, waiting for the old lady to get up and cook!

Most of the people in the village knew the news of the bombing of Mrs. Dong's house, and they said everything.

Some people say that this Dong mother-in-law's family is really lazy, and the prince of the stove can't stand it!

When Mrs. Dong is at home, they can still open the stove and make a fire, if they are not at home, the old and young will go to the neighbor's house to borrow a hot and cold bun, and when it is cold, they will run outside, and they would rather lie in the sun than chop a bundle of firewood back! This is to offend the king of the stove!

After this incident, the village usually has some dealings with Mrs. Dong, and they also show gloating.

The family's weekday style makes many people unaccustomed to it, not to mention that the family is too lazy to die, just talking about this Dong mother-in-law, she has never been idle on weekdays! The proprietor's family, Li Jia, is short, and an old woman who wants people to be poor and looks forward to people's difficulties, learned that she was bombed, and many women and daughters-in-law in the village secretly scolded her!

It was the Qin family, after learning that something had happened to Mrs. Dong's family, so he took some leftover pork from Hemai last time and went to visit Mrs. Dong's house.

"After all, the villagers live in the neighborhood, and they know that they are in trouble, so if they don't go to visit, how can they get by on face?" Qin said to He Mai like this.

He Mai knew that the old lady was kind-hearted, and she had no choice but to ask: "Grandma, you went to see it, what about Dong ...... How's the aunt? ”

"Huh," Qin shook his head regretfully, "It's all pointing to you Aunt Dong alone!" The wound on his face was not healed, so he went to work on the ground. The two sons of the collapsed stove room don't care about anyone, and the family is rotten, as if it has nothing to do with them! ”

Qin sighed again, "But if you talk about this rotten situation, who is to blame?" Isn't she to blame? In the early years, she didn't do anything, and her family's livelihood and work were all directed at her own man! Children are not well educated, Changping Chang'an and Chang'an two babies can be diligent when they are young! The head is smart and sweet, and she was forced to be raised by her. Hey, in the past few years, the men in the family have fallen, and she doesn't even have anyone to rely on! ”

He Mai felt a trace of sympathy in his heart, but he thought, who is to blame for this? In a place like Xiaoqing Village, the villagers are probably poorer, but they are not like their family, and the whole family is idle, sitting and eating.

I took a load of firewood from someone else, even if I don't pay it back, but don't always think about it!? Even if you come to get it, how can you speak ill of this family behind your back?

In vain, when something happened to this Dong mother-in-law, the only one who went to see her was the Qin family.

He Mai pursed his lips and took out twenty copper coins from his pocket.

"Milk, next time you go to Aunt Dong's place, give her this copper coin, and let her buy two catties of meat to replenish her body."

Make up for the meat on your mouth more, and you can talk less about knives next time!

The growth of a few little piglets was gratifying, and in less than a month's time, I saw that these pigs were about to run half of their heads, and their body bones were also swollen.

It's also thanks to Hemai and Rokuro who take good care of them on weekdays.

He Mai and Rokuro went on a trip to the mountainside every morning, where they saw pigweed cutting pigweed, and mushrooms picking mushrooms.

Rokuro is carrying a basket on his back, and he puts any wild mountain goods into the basket, and from time to time he sees a hare and pheasant, bending the bow and arrows over there, as long as his eyes see it, there is no game to run!

The two of them had fast foot strength, and it didn't take two hours to go up and down the mountainside.

Rokuro said that the road from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside is easy to walk, and it is not as rugged as the top of the mountain. If you go up from the mountainside, I'm afraid you won't be able to go up for two days.

Rokuro also takes Hemai to hunt every day, and he can also cut pigweed and pick mushrooms by the way.

The pigweed cut back, the wheat should be put into the pot to boil, add some bran and leftover soup and the like, then the pig lamb will eat fragrantly, won't it grow fast!

grew up with the lamb, and Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is almost two months old now, and when he first arrived home, he was furry and could carry it on one hand, and now he is thin and long, and it is the time to be naughty and playful.

There are always people in the house in the next day, and there is no need to always close the courtyard door, He Mai is playing in the vegetable field, Xiao Hei is jumping and rolling and follows, at first he honestly knows to stay at the owner's feet, but if you pay attention, Xiao Hei will disappear.

When He Mai had almost finished serving the field, he pulled his neck and shouted twice, and he saw a black shadow running over from afar, slamming into his feet.

"This little thing is here, I'm afraid our family won't be able to feed chickens and ducks for a year and a half." He Mai said helplessly.

Yang Liulang smiled, "Not that long." The dogs raised in our cropyard should be trained in a few days. When the time comes, take care of the family and the courtyard, and follow us up to the mountains to hunt, there is no problem. ”

"That's a good dare," He Mai looked at Xiao Hei with crooked eyes, "This little thing, I don't know what kind of power it has started." ”
