Chapter 15: The Harvest
The two brothers each ate a bowl of noodles at the noodle stall, and Jixiang took out another copper plate and said, "My mother asked me to buy some snacks and pastries for Fubao, but the little girl has teeth and always wants to bite something." ”
Hearing auspiciousness say blessings, Pingan also took out a small piece of broken silver from his cuff, which was given by the owner when he came, and he put it in his sleeve pocket for later use.
"Jixiang, when you go back, go to the shopkeeper, buy some cloth residues with him, the price is cheap, and make a few winter clothes for Xiao Fubao."
Jixiang nodded, and his mother also gave him the silver to buy cotton and cloth, and in two months, he will have a cold, and he has to prepare things for the winter.
Xiao Fu Bao didn't know that his uncle and uncle were thinking about her, and with the support of Xiang Fugui, he kicked his two little short legs hard, trying to stand up, but he couldn't stand steadily.
Xiang Fugui hugged his little girl tightly, smiling, Xiao Fubao has been almost six months, and he can already sit and crawl and still want to walk on the ground.
The little girl's appetite is excellent, and her daughter-in-law's milk can no longer satisfy the little girl's appetite, so Grandma Xiang will boil rice porridge and steamed egg custard for the little girl to eat every day.
I don't know when, Xiao Fubao began to drool, and there were two small shell teeth, and he liked to bite his fingers, so his sister-in-law would make a little bun for Xiao Fubao to bite.
Seeing Fu Bao holding a bun bigger than her face and biting it in her mouth, everyone will laugh happily, and Fu Bao will laugh together when he sees them laughing, and Fu Bao will eventually become the pistachio of the whole family.
The pastries brought back by Jixiang made Fu Bao eat the delicious taste of the world, and she finally knew that what people eat is much better than what tree spirits eat, but she always feels that something is missing.
It was another sunny and sunny day, Fu Bao always felt that something was calling him, and turned his head to look at his grandmother and mother who were preparing winter clothes for his family, and Fu Bao climbed over.
"Go"
Fugui's sister-in-law patted Fubao's little hand pointing outside, and scolded with a smile: "Dad doesn't call his mother and doesn't shout, she only learned one to go, this girl is really wild, she has to run out every day, I don't know what is outside to hook her soul." ”
Grandma Xiang stopped, looked at Fubao thoughtfully, and said to Fugui's sister-in-law: "You go and ask Jixiang, where your father-in-law and Fugui are chopping wood today, and we will go together." ”
Fugui's sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, she knew that her father-in-law would go to the mountains to chop firewood every day with Fugui these days, and the winter in Xiangzhang Village was inseparable from firewood.
Walking out of the yard, I saw that Jixiang was busy playing cabinets, the last time the board car became famous, and now the people in the village need cabinets and bed boards or something will come to Jixiang.
"Jixiang, where are your second brother and father chopping wood?" Sister-in-law asked.
"Second sister-in-law, the second brother and his father went to the back hillside to chop wood, Xiangchu led the calf and took his younger brother to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, what do you have to help?"
"Fubao is going out, and my mother wants to go to my father and wealth." Sister-in-law said.
"Okay, you help Fubao get dressed, I'll take her to find her father." Ji Xiang put down the work in his hand, went to the water tank to scoop water, and washed his hands.
Grandma Xiang had already helped Fubao get dressed, and wrapped a thin quilt for her, and when she heard the auspicious words, she handed over Fubao to Jixiang, and followed her out with a basket on her back.
"Mother, what about me?" Sister-in-law is in a hurry.
"Why don't you go and add a piece of clothing to keep up, by the way, tell your sister-in-law and close the yard door."
Hearing her mother-in-law's words, the rich sister-in-law returned to her house like the wind, put on a cotton back clip, and came to the kitchen like the wind, asking the sister-in-law to close the courtyard door after she went out.
The sister-in-law saw that she ran out and didn't forget the younger siblings who carried the basket, pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly followed to the yard to close the door, but she was very happy in her heart, as long as Fubao wanted to go out, there would always be good things coming in.
I didn't see a lot of wild eggs at home, they have all been pickled into salted eggs, and there are roe deer bacon, rabbit bacon, pheasant bacon hanging in the mother's house, and the cellar is full of grain, aren't they all harvested after Fubao went up the mountain.
Several children in the family have been moving up because of the change in food, and their bodies have become stronger, but they are a little worried about the safety in the county, and I don't know how he is now.
Fortunately, Jixiang came back and brought back the letter written to her by Ping An, although she didn't know a few big characters, but she could understand the meaning of Ping An's expression.
Jixiang hugged Fu Bao, followed by his mother and second sister-in-law, so the speed was not very fast, but Fu Bao was a little anxious, she asked the trees and grass roots to find her father and grandfather.
The leaves fluttered without wind, Fu Bao stretched out his finger and kept "go and go" in one direction, and Ji Xiang hurriedly walked forward in the direction of Fu Bao's finger.
After walking more than 500 meters, I finally saw the rich father and son who were eye-to-eye with a wild boar at a col in front of me.
Grandma Xiang and Sister-in-law Fugui were also red-eyed, they only knew at this time why Fubao was in a hurry to go up the mountain, it turned out that she knew that her father and grandfather were in danger.
Fu Bao is a little blindsided, she doesn't know that her father and grandfather are in danger, she only knows to find her father and grandfather, and let them take her to find ginseng, which is a good thing for her cultivation spirit.
At a glance, Fu Bao saw that under a tree next to the wild boar, there was the breath of ginseng, and he emitted spiritual power, and he must catch this wild boar and not let it eat the ginseng.
There are also dead pigs who dare to bully the father and grandfather of the king of the camphor tree, and they don't give you some color to see, and they really don't take the king of the camphor tree in their eyes.
The wild boar also smelled the smell of ginseng and found it, but unexpectedly met two people, thinking that it was robbing ginseng with it, so he stared at the two of them.
The two men who finally determined that the other party were not its opponents at all, let out a pig roar in their mouths, rubbed their hind legs back a few times, and prepared to attack.
Fugui and Xiang Lao Man clenched the firewood knife in his hand, spread his legs, squatted down slightly, stared at the wild boar with his eyes, and prepared for the battle, so nervous that even the clothes on his back were soaked.
The wild boar moved, exerted its strength on all four legs, and rushed towards the old man Xiang, who had already found that this old man was easier to deal with than that young man.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, the wild boar was hooked by the vines under his feet, and he couldn't help but struggle hard, trying to break free from the vines wrapped around his feet.
As he was exerting his strength, the vine suddenly broke, and the wild boar itself exerted too much force, and suddenly it was like a parabola, and its body fell heavily in front of Fugui's body.
Looking at the wild boar with his stomach facing the ground and his feet open, Fugui was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and his hand holding the firewood knife trembled a little, thinking that his firewood knife had been sharpened yesterday, it should be very sharp.
Seeing that his father didn't move, Fu Bao was anxious, and his spiritual power was radiated, and he slashed hard, towards the middle of the wild boar's eyes.
Fugui seemed to be hypnotized, the firewood knife in his hand was raised high, and with all his strength, he slashed down at the middle of the boar's eyes.
