Chapter Twenty-Four: Treasures of the Mountains

CHAPTER XXIV

I have said a lot of this, and it really makes many people taste it. 【Fengyun Reading Network. If you don't think about it deeply, it's just that, and after a little thought, you will find that it is really like that, and I have never seen Zhang Manchu oppress the old and young masters in the village in these years.

With this cognition, everyone is not so disgusted with Lin Baozhu. Although it is not pleasant, it is not lukewarm.

"Full of daughters-in-law, your father-in-law has poured such a big mold, you should take a breath." A few people got together while digging wild vegetables and gossiped about the short needles and threads in the family, and I don't know who talked about it, as if they saw Zhang Erbao slipping out of the village, and even some people said that the Zhang family was going to marry Du's widow/wife into the door. No, there is an aunt with a long face who looks like she is thirty or forty and twists her neck and asks Lin Baozhu.

It's not enough to say that she has bad intentions, but she just wants to find some after-dinner conversations.

When Aunt Tian heard this, she chuckled in her heart, for fear that she would provoke Lin Baozhu. After all, the girl's words were so naked/naked that she was clearly telling others that she just wanted to have a good time. If Baozhu is small-minded, and encounters this kind of joke, I'm afraid that he will have to change his face.

In fact, Lin Baozhu is also tired of this kind of person in her heart, but she also knows that these people are just idle and have nothing to do and eat to be full, if she is really angry and scolding, maybe something will come out of Ming'er. In that way, not only did she fall behind, but she also had to burden Aunt Tian who wanted to pull herself into the village group, which really outweighed the loss. Immediately, she was not annoyed, but pursed her lips and replied: "What do I have to be angry about, how can I have nothing to do with me over there, I only live my little life in peace, as long as you don't come to provoke me, I don't bother to watch the excitement over there." ”

Seeing that Lin Baozhu's expression had not changed, he didn't even raise his head when he said this, and he didn't even lift his eyelids, and the person who had just asked couldn't help but sneer. Feelings/people don't take it seriously at all, and the woman who listens with her ears pricked up on the side will naturally not be uncomfortable chasing after her.

In the end, it was Aunt Tian who smiled and stubble, and turned the topic over just now, and a few people talked about the happy event of which girl and which son were about to have a good time.

And Lin Baozhu, who was no longer laughed at by everyone, was naturally relieved to see that everyone's nagging was transferred elsewhere, and smiled at Aunt Tian gratefully before gossiping.

In her previous life, she lived in the mountains for more than one or two days, and many parents could follow along with a few words. In addition, he already has his own knowledge, and he knows what to say and what not to say, so he just has to be measured, so he got acquainted with those aunts and daughters-in-law after a while.

Aunt Tian looked at Lin Baozhu, who was talking to others, and she was very satisfied. With such a governor's daughter-in-law, it's really a blessing to be full of that kid.

With Aunt Tian's accompaniment, and several daughters-in-law who came with her are all hearty, and Lin Baozhu is also willing to deal with everyone, so everyone is talking and laughing at this time. At first, there was an aunt who was worried that Lin Baozhu would be embarrassed, but she didn't think that she was not a stingy person, and she didn't look a little restrained, and her impression was much better.

was digging, suddenly Lin Baozhu's eyes lit up, and then carefully turned over the weeds with a hoe. Sure enough, in the grass, I saw a very familiar object, looking at such an inconspicuous appearance, it should not have grown into a white cockscomb.

Speaking of white cockscomb, it is not a treasure in the eyes of tea lovers. Don't say anything else, just say that it and the big red robe, the iron arhat, and the water golden turtle are the four famous fir trees of Wuyi. Just saying that it can be as famous as the tea tree of the tea king level like Da Hong Pao, you can see how valuable it is. This kind of tea is not as rich and mellow as Da Hong Pao, and the color is not as dark red and purple as other oolong teas, but its tea is a light rice huáng sè, bright and thorough, and the entrance is a light tea fragrance, but it can make people feel clear.

She suppressed the joy and surprise in her heart, looked up at the lively aunts and daughters-in-law she was talking about, and saw that everyone saw that the tea sapling stepped on the side like a weed without even looking at it. Isn't it that everyone doesn't know it's tea?

Just thinking about it, I heard Aunt Tian shouting at her, "Baozhu, what kind of god are you stunned about." When she saw the grass seedlings she was holding carefully, she smiled and said, "Oh, silly girl, what are you digging hard grass for?" ”

There are not many such bitter grasses on the mountain, but they can often be seen, and they say that they take it home and eat it as wild vegetables. It was dried and picked up to feed the pigs, and the pigs didn't eat it. It is because of this that this bitter grass has become a useless object in the eyes of everyone. At most, they will grow taller, and when they wilt in the winter, they will be pulled home and used as matches.

"Bitter grass?" Lin Baozhu pressed his joy and asked with some doubts. It seems that the people in the village are not unaware of the existence of tea saplings, but what is the matter with this bitter grass?

Seeing Lin Baozhu's puzzled expression, Chun Shengniang on the side smiled. It seems that the daughter-in-law must have not suffered much when she was at her mother's house, and the white and tender hands are much more delicate than the hands of the peasant girl, although they have small calluses. But after all, she is a hard-working child who has fled, and even if she wants to ask, it is not good to pierce the scars of other people's daughters.

"Isn't it just bitter grass, we pulled it out when we were beating pigweed earlier, but the piglets didn't eat it. There is also the taste of children smashing it, and they are all wrinkled bitterly. ”

When the children in the village are running wildly, sometimes they play on the hillside with the worried noise and scolding of the adults, not to mention a few bites of grass, even if they burn the house sparrows, they don't know how much they have done. Thinking that his eldest grandson chewed a few mouthfuls of bitter grass at that time, he vomited bitterly at that time, and he had never liked to drink water, and he drank five or six sips of cold water before he stopped, Chunshengniang couldn't help laughing.

Although the women who came here love to chew the root of their tongues in their spare time, their hearts and eyes are also good, not to see that Lin Baozhu dug up a few handfuls of bitter grass and saw not many wild vegetables in the basket, and a few aunts on the side couldn't help but take care of them. Not to mention that she will give away some of the wild vegetables from her basket, she will also mention which of her wild vegetables she has more, or how she can eat them when she digs them back.

Seeing that the sun is overhead, the family members who are working outside are not in a hurry to go back to cook, just a few girls in the left and right families can deal with it casually. But the aunt and daughter-in-law who were cultivating the land on the slope of the family took the guy and planned to go home, Aunt Tian took a look at Lin Baozhu's basket, grabbed two handfuls of bracken and threw them in, and then wiped her sweat and said: "Baozhu, isn't the hoarding in the back mountain?" Come back at noon or do you want you to bring him food? ”

"I should come back to eat, I said that I would chop some firewood by the way." Lin Baozhu got up, Xu is body has not yet recovered, and he has bent over a lot, so there was a sudden black halo in front of him at this moment. The waist was even more sore, but it took a long time to relieve the strength.

He also said that today's harvest is rich, and a small basket of wild vegetables can last for a few days. And those bitter grasses, if they are really white cockscombs, then the harvest is really big.

Speaking of lunch, Lin Baozhu also remembered his own man, and he didn't know if he would go back at this time. The family gave him boiling water, I don't know if he knows how to drink, this morning he poured water on him, and when he didn't let him directly pour cold water, Lin Baozhu was a little annoyed. Hmph, it's just that he relies on his physical foundation, if he drinks badly, see which one feels sorry for him.

I thought so, but she was not at ease after all. Seeing that Aunt Tian packed up the basket and said that she was going back, she hurriedly followed. Because he just dug up some wild vegetables and didn't weigh anything, Lin Baozhu followed Aunt Tian to the village to catch chickens and ducks.

When the two of them talked and laughed at the door of Mrs. Lu's house, Mrs. Lu was sitting outside on a big stone and weaving straw shoes. It's not easy for any family in this year, especially when Mrs. Lu's family still supports a young son who is studying, so it is naturally more economical than other people's families in terms of expenses.

If it's warm today, the cloth shoes for the winter at home should be put away, and they will be worn out and made new ones this winter. So while you're free, why don't you weave a few more pairs of straw sandals?

It is also thanks to the fact that many peasant families wear straw sandals, and naturally no one whispers behind her back to provide for her son to go to school.

Lin Baozhu looked at the pile of wheat straw and hay next to Mrs. Lu, and then looked at the coarse cloth shoes under her feet, and suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart. She thought that her family was in trouble, and at least the shoes on her feet could not be saved. After all, the roads in the mountains and fields are not easy to walk, not to mention the potholes, and there may be where the broken stones are buried. But I don't want to, wearing straw sandals is simply the norm for big guys.

It was at this time that she remembered that Zhang Manchu was a rough-looking man, and he didn't let her wear a pair of straw sandals. There are even two pairs of new satin shoes in the kang cabinet at home, and when the man goes to the field today, there is still a pair of broken straw shoes hanging on the hoe.

didn't wait for Lin Baozhu to feel better, but saw Lu Pozi waving at the two of them. This person is also sincere, although he is not familiar with Zhang Manchu, but it is strange to say that he feels sorry for the two of them and has no good father. Other families are eager to let their children's lives go smoothly, but Zhang Laohan's father, it's really better to have nothing, where is it possible to help the two children live?

"It's a shame that you spoke early, otherwise I would have taken it to the town and sold it." Mrs. Lu smiled in her eyes, and as she spoke, she took the two of them to the corner of the yard to see the little chicks with the frames. "It's warm now, and I'm not afraid of freezing to death, so you can go back and dig some earthworms to feed, and they will grow in two months."
