Chapter 15: The Romance of Nature
"You two still know how to come back." Xu's washing clothes in the courtyard, it has been raining a few days ago, and a lot of clothes from those big families have to be washed.
"Hee-hee, Grandma, the street is so lively, we forget the time while we are shopping."
Li Caicai ran to Xu's side with a smile, hugged her back and said coquettishly.
"Ouch, hurry away and don't delay my work."
Although Xu said this, he was still happy in his heart, his granddaughter had never been so close to her before.
"Hurry up and take Xiaobai to the kitchen, your mother has left you food."
"Okay, thank you, Grandma." Li Caicai stretched out her little arm, hugged Xu's neck, and kissed her.
"Dead girl, saliva is all over my face."
The sleeve wiped his face with pretended disgust, and Xu pointed to the hall, "After dinner, I went to the hall and bought some fruit for the two of you." ”
When I went to the grain store today, I saw a little girl who kept grinding the adults in the family and said that she wanted to eat candy, presumably because the adults didn't have much money, and in the end not only didn't buy it, but also beat the child.
Thinking that Li Caicai had never asked them for anything since she was a child, Xu gritted her teeth and weighed some in the fruit shop next door.
"Wow, grandma, you're so nice!"
"Xiaobai, hurry up, there's something delicious!"
Looking at Li Caicai's excited appearance, Xu couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, after all, he is still a child.
After a simple meal, Li Caicai held a candy and gnawed it, when she was still Li Buyan, she only ate such a thing in her hometown during the Chinese New Year, and then she grew up, although it was also sold in the supermarket, but she couldn't find the previous taste, and this thing was high in calories, and it was covered with sugar, she didn't dare to eat it.
"Ah...... Sure enough, it is still sweet, and it will make people feel happy! ”
Li Caicai closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility, the days of being a child are really good~
"Li Caicai, your little chick, when are you going to tell Grandma?"
"Ahh
I almost forgot about it.
Li Caicai thought about it, pulled Xiaobai to the room, and moved all the chickens out of the space.
"Xiaobai, remember to help me cover." When I first got home, I completely forgot about it, and suddenly took so many chicks......
"Let's go."
In the yard, Chen Guihua had already finished drying her clothes and came out, and she and Xu were chatting with each other while washing clothes in the yard.
"Vegetable girl, what are you carrying behind you?"
"Mother, grandma, I want to tell you something."
"Say it."
"That's it...... I used the money that Grandma gave me yesterday to buy some chicks back, and I want to sell them for money when they grow up. ”
As he spoke, Xiaobai put two baskets of chicks in front of them.
"Oh my mother, why do you two buy so much?" Looking at the little chicks squeezed together in the two baskets, Xu's scalp was a little numb, "Will you raise it?" Buy so much at once. ”
Li Caicai didn't expect Xu Shi to scold her, and immediately nodded like a chick pecking rice, "I will, Grandpa River God told me last night, and he also said that according to his method, chicks will grow very fast." ”
Originally, I thought that this child was a bit lavish in spending money, but when I heard this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and this river god gave his girl a dream again?
"That's okay, Osmanthus, you go to the back mountain to cut some bamboo and come back, and I'll make a fence for them later." Xu Shi shook the water in his hand and wiped his nose, "Vegetable girl, Grandma has other things to do, your little chick has to be raised by yourself." ”
The children of the farmer's family are in charge of the family early, and the Xu family has never felt that it is a good thing for adults to take care of everything.
"Don't worry, grandma, I'll raise the chicks, and I won't trouble you! And my mother! ”
Li Caicai put her left hand behind her back, and waved her right hand in front of her, looking very confident, "When I raise the chickens, grandma and mother, as well as father and second uncle, and Xiaobai, all have meat to eat." ”
"Yo, look at this girl."
The little girl stood in the courtyard, the sun set, the orange halo fell on her body, and the bright smile warmed Chen Guihua's heart.
"Auntie, I'll go with Li Caicai to chop some bamboo and come back, anyway, it's okay now, I'll protect her."
Xiaobai walked to the edge of the yard, picked up a small machete, and carried a basket on his back to see if he could pick some wild vegetables and come back.
"It's okay, then you should be careful, come back early, and before it gets dark, I will wash these with your grandmother."
Since listening to Xu's story about Xiaobai's deeds yesterday, Chen Guihua has been much relieved to see that her girl has personal protection, and her eyes have become more and more loving.
"Eh, by the way, why didn't I see the chick when you came back just now?"
Xu realized that something was wrong.
"Grandma, you were busy just now, and I was carrying the basket, so I guess you didn't pay attention." Xiaobai said with a blank look, without blinking his eyes.
"Oh, that's right, I say."
Waving his hand, Xu Shi then buried himself in washing his clothes.
"Xiaobai, you're amazing." Li Caicai's biggest fear is lying, since she was a child, she is easy to blush and stutter when she tells a lie.
"You, pay more attention in the future, don't show your stuffing again."
Xiaobai held a machete in his left hand and Li Caicai in his right hand, and the two walked towards the back mountain.
"Wait."
The bamboo forest is halfway up the mountain in the back mountain, and not long after going up the mountain, Li Caicai saw a familiar thing.
Fungus vegetables.
This is a good thing, egg fungus vegetable soup, it is so delicious that you cry!
Li Caicai stretched out her little tongue and licked her mouth, "Quick, Xiaobai, dig it!" ”
Li Caicai has always liked fungus vegetables, not only because it is nutritious, can detoxify and moisturize the intestines, moisturize the skin and nourish the skin, and the most important thing is that its small green leaves are heart-shaped, which is not the romance of nature.
Xiaobai's speed was very fast, and Li Caicai sighed while digging, "Xiaobai, why are you so powerful?" I've picked you up a big baby! ”
Li Caicai, who was squatting on the ground, didn't see it, and after saying this, Xiaobai's face turned red, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, let's go, finish it early and go home early!"
I'm going to find a way to go to the county office tomorrow to see the corpse.
Patting the dirt on his hands, Xiaobai carried the basket to his shoulder, and the two continued to walk into the mountain.
——
"You sit here and wait for me."
Finally walked to the side of the bamboo forest, Xiaobai put the back basket next to a big stone and leaned against it, so that Li Caicai also rested here.
"Okay, I'll cheer you on!" Xiaobai has a lot of strength, and Li Caicai is just happy to be idle.
At first, Li Caicai's "come on" shouted quite vigorously, but the little white hand got up and fell, cutting bamboo like cutting rice, without any challenge, and the more Li Caicai shouted, the more he had no sense of achievement.
While Xiaobai was chopping bamboo, Li Caicai was wandering around, thinking if she could pick up something good.
If you can get some pheasants or wild boars, anyway, if you have a strong white here, it will also be a safe windfall.
"Booming ......"
"Booming ......"
Suddenly, Li Caicai saw that the bamboo next to a small cave was shaking from time to time.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, come on!"
Li Nana is excited!
