CHAPTER XXV

Lin Baozhu looked at the cubs holding the basket, and they were chattering one by one. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Plus there are a few ducklings inside, and I can't say whether it's croaking or chirping, anyway, it's very lively to get together.

"My aunt is looking really good, looking at all of them." Seeing the object he wanted, Lin Baozhu couldn't care about the sourness in his heart just now, so he just smiled and said clever words. "It just so happens that I brought the money with me, and I don't have to go back again."

As early as when he went to dig wild vegetables, Lin Baozhu thought that if he stopped by the way, he would catch the chickens and ducks, so he naturally installed the copper plate early.

"And Aunt Lao has remembered this, and she will go to my place to rest when she is free, and I will entertain my aunt."

Speaking of this, regardless of whether it is polite or sincere, Mrs. Lu responded with a smile. In fact, she was quite happy to be able to sell the chickens and ducks to the village, after all, if she went to the town, she would have to delay for a while. Not to mention that if you take the time, you may not be able to sell it all. So at this time, seeing Lin Baozhu happily handing over the money, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"Okay, when I'm free, I'll go to the door with you Aunt Tian, and get to know the family in the future, so you have to remember to rest for a while." While talking to the two of them, Mrs. Lu grabbed a nest of chickens and leaves into the basket. "When you go back, you have to remember to buckle it up and detain it for two days, otherwise this little thing won't know where to go."

"Don't worry, auntie, I remember." Seeing the clumps of fluffy little guys chattering in the basket, until they were covered with a layer of cloth, Lin Baozhu was extremely happy and happy.

Because it was noon, the two of them hurried out of Lu Pozi's house without any further delay. When I passed by Tian Da's mother's house, I took some rapeseeds. And Xu ate Lin Baozhu's food, and even the Qian family was eager when he saw her. Worried that there was still a person at home, Lin Baozhu didn't dare to stay longer, and went home with the vegetable basket and the basket that Lu Pozi had just caught chickens.

Seeing that there was no movement at home, she said in her heart that she was afraid that she hadn't come back yet. So the chick and the duckling were separated and buckled up first, thinking about the advice of Mrs. Lu, so I simply dug up a little millet and soaked it with water. After finishing all this, I went to pick up wild vegetables with satisfaction.

Xu is courtyard is lively, which makes the family have a lot more vitality, and she is very happy when she is busy in the stove room. Thinking that there are chickens and ducks at home, they will be able to lay eggs in a few months, and they can slaughter two stewed soup during the Chinese New Year, she is inexplicably relaxed.

While planning for the days to come, she picked out the bitter herbs in the basket, and then washed the bracken and camellia.

Because bracken itself has a certain toxicity, it is necessary to blanch it before eating. Speaking of this, it was also a stupid thing she had done before, and at that time she didn't understand that the fried meat with bracken was directly fried in the pot, but a picnic made her and her two senior sisters collectively have food poisoning. It is also thanks to the good medical conditions in the previous life, otherwise I am afraid that I will suffer a great sin.

Thinking of her previous life, she couldn't help but stop the work under her hand and sighed, she didn't know that she had an accident, who could help with the Lin family's mess. I don't know if the brothers and sisters will be sad and sad

She had mixed feelings in her heart, and it wasn't until the knife in her hand touched her fingernails that she came back to her senses, and then shook her head with a wry smile and lamented her absent-mindedness. Anyway, it's already here, so what can you do if you think about all the things in your past life? It's better to live a good life in a down-to-earth manner.

Lin Baozhu was busy working in the stove room, blanching and marinating, and then cutting some shredded meat and freshly soaked bracken stir-fry plate. Seeing that there was still work, he simply blanched the shepherd's cabbage and chopped it up, mixed it with some fatty meat and oil shuttle and chopped it into meat filling. If you want the shepherd's cabbage filling to be delicious, you have to spend oil and meat, and it is also a shame that she and Zhang Manchu are not fond of snacks, so the lard shuttle is almost not eaten, and it is just right to use it at this time.

Looking at a small pot of verdant shepherd's cabbage filling, she was very satisfied. Not to mention, it used to be a fresh meal, but now it looks like the gluttonous worms in the stomach are going to be hooked out. Even if there are no seasonings, just smelling the light fragrance of wild vegetables makes me feel comfortable.

was busy working, and Zhang Manchu came back with a large bundle of firewood. I smelled the smell of the food at home from afar, especially the smell of meat that seemed to be there when I entered the yard, and my heart immediately became hot, and even the perennial fierce expression was a little smiling.

"I'm back! Hurry up and wash your hands and put it on the table, I just wrapped two bowls of dumplings and will be ready to eat later. Lin Baozhu looked through the window of the stove room, and saw that the man was looking this way with a sweaty face, and shouted without going out, "By the way, go pick up some water and come back, the water in the water tank is almost running out." ”

Seeing his daughter-in-law's natural expression and instructing him to do his own work, Zhang Manchu's heart moved slightly, and he actually had a strange sense of satisfaction, and even the expression on his face showed a little pleasure. But he didn't say anything, just carried the flat pole and the bucket according to his daughter-in-law's words and went out.

When he came back, the aroma of meat mixed with wild vegetables at home had already wafted away, and Lin Baozhu even entered the house with food. Hearing Zhang Man hoarding into the yard, he turned his head and smiled and told him to hurry into the house to eat.

When the meat shuttle and shepherd's cabbage dumplings were eaten in his mouth, Lin Baozhu only felt that the delicious ones were about to shed tears. And Zhang Manchu, who had been working the side, couldn't help but look at his daughter-in-law, and there was still a trace of affection and affection in his eyes, "Daughter-in-law, if you like to eat, I'll get you some more when you go to the field in the future, there are a lot of wild vegetables in the back mountain." ”

Speaking of coming from the back mountain, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but be curious, and asked a few words inarticulate while biting on the hot dumplings.

"It's not that it's dangerous, but that there is a piece of land in our back mountain nest that doesn't freeze all year round, and as soon as I get close to that piece, I feel hot. In addition, before the drought the year before last, I heard that someone hacked a big python to death in the mountain nest, and the man sold the python for two days, and the whole family suffered a catastrophe. After that, everyone spread that there was a lot of evil in the mountain nest, and over time, no one dared to go. Zhang Manchu said nonchalantly, seeing his daughter-in-law's puzzled look, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth to reveal a seemingly nonchalant smile. Where is it so evil, there are fierce beasts in the mountain nests, but they generally do not come to the village, people are afraid of them, they are afraid of the crowd. If you don't hunt, how can you often go into the deep cat, and a cat is a cat for several days. I think it was those who went into the mountains and frightened the beasts, or ran into wolves foraging for food, and they couldn't run. As for the big python, it's just a lot of people following the nonsense, it's not bad if there are snakes in our realm, and the python is just a family in Shimoda Village the year before last, but it was also exposed to foreign wealth and was targeted, and was secretly robbed and killed. At that time, Liuzi and I also directly swept away the group of bandits in Beiyun Village."

When talking about the bandits, Zhang Manchu suddenly paused, and his expression became a little uncomfortable. Why are so many people in the village afraid of him, in addition to his own evil spirit, isn't it because he has been a bandit? But what could he do at the beginning, only by ruining his reputation in this way could no one make trouble for his family, and he could also shock his eldest sister-in-law's family, which he had not contacted for a long time.

Speaking of the eldest sister, in addition to the death of Prince Niang, it is another scar on his heart. As soon as he remembered how the eldest sister's mother-in-law was bitter and mean to tell his mother Wang that he was worthless, he hated to punch the old woman. If it weren't for the eldest sister's forbearance, how could he let others bully his mother and sister?

I still remember how the eldest sister was treated harshly when she gave birth to a daughter, and when he went to support the eldest sister, how the eldest sister maintained the bastard family. Even, for the sake of that family, the eldest sister slapped him with her own hands, and threatened not to show up again after letting him go.

Lin Baozhu was listening energetically, but he saw that the man's face suddenly turned black, and even the hand holding the chopsticks burst out with green tendons. It looked like someone had provoked him, and he hated to break someone's neck a few times.

Xu was thinking too bloody, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but shudder, and then obediently picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat. She didn't think that Zhang Manchu was unscrupulous for no reason, but she was afraid that there was something inside it, but this man kept his mouth shut, and she didn't want to ask if it was not.

Zhang Manchu, who came back to his senses, glanced at Lin Baozhu, who was eating, and saw that she had no intention of asking, and there was no expression of disgust and disgust on her face, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, being a bandit is really not a glorious thing, not to mention that he also deliberately hid a lot of things from her.

After eating, Zhang Manchu was still collecting firewood in the yard, and he would split and stack the branches when he encountered a big tree. And Lin Baozhu scooped up water to wash the dishes, and by the way, he gossiped with the men in the yard.

Looking at it, it really feels like an old husband and wife.

After brushing the pots and bowls, and cleaning the black stove, Lin Baozhu moved a small bench to the courtyard to see the man working. To be honest, it's really a pleasure to look at the man who is only wearing a single coat and bursting out his muscles when chopping wood.

"Huh? What kind of branch is this? Originally, he was idle and fiddling with wild vegetables, but when he looked up, he saw Zhang Manchu carrying a few branches and tying them together. If it was just a little seedling grass that had not grown into tea, she would have to taste it to tell if it was a white-crowned tea, but she could look at the tall branches in Zhang Manho's hands, and the pale green but thin leaves, and the leaves of the partial-growing treetops were slightly yellow and drooping down with curves, and there was a thin layer of fluffy hair growing on it. Just by looking at it, she could be sure that it was the white-crowned tea tree that was unintentional.
