Chapter 32 The sunset of mountains and rivers, the gentleness of the world
Tao Xiaoqian's scene is well-intentioned, and the two people of the old Li family can see it, one is Li Nanshan, and the other is Li Laohan. For this reason, Li Laohan was even more frightened, unable to eat or sleep.
He couldn't understand what Tao Xiaoqi was trying to do.
He wouldn't have asked either.
In this way, Li Nanshan changed from an honorable worker to an equally glorious peasant, but having said that, it is clear to everyone that workers and peasants are not the same. The Li family and the Yao family's Liang Zi were thus concluded.
Because of Li Nanshan's layoff, their family's position as the richest man in Mantou Village is in jeopardy, and they are in danger of being surpassed at any time.
Except for the second sister-in-law, the Li family actually didn't want to bear such a false name for a long time, but this name is not what they boast of, and naturally they can't take it off by themselves, they will have to carry this heavy burden forward until the day when they are completely crushed.
The sister-in-law's belly gradually became pregnant and bigger, and her appetite grew bigger and bigger. The Li family now has more monks and less porridge, especially the second sister-in-law, who prides herself on being superior, naturally she will not take into account the gluttony of the sister-in-law, but whenever something comes up on the dinner table, she first picks it up in the bowls of her two sons, and then puts it in her own bowls, and the old Li family has a meal like a tough battle.
Li Nanshan naturally won't rob them, and when everyone finishes eating, he will serve it on the table, and there will be nothing left, just some soup and water, and he will deal with it with a hard nest.
He obviously felt the embarrassment of his situation in the Li family, he had never been proud of his achievements, but because he was a regular worker before and had a decent salary, he was respected by everyone.
Li Nanshan understands and accepts, but he still can't help but feel depressed.
On this day, he didn't go back to eat after finishing his work, sitting on the ridge, facing the scorching sun, chewing a piece of grass in his mouth, squinting into the distance, and a little more dazed and overwhelmed in his eyes.
It was only when he was alone that he dared to reveal this fear, and since he came back, he had not rested for a day, but there was still a deep sense of guilt that weighed him down.
"Comrade Li is so leisurely, looking at the scenery here alone, are you thinking about my proposal?" Tao Xiaoqi came over with a headscarf and covered herself tightly.
Li Nanshan was startled, retracted his thoughts and saw that it was her, surprised and reasonable, spit out the grass in his mouth, and replied, "Isn't your field empty?" "The implication is that you didn't farm the land, what are you doing here.
"I came to you for this, they all say that the land is the life of the peasant, and my wasted land is equivalent to wasting my life, but I am really not good at farming, or should I rent it to you?"
"Rent it to me? What am I going to do with so much land? Li Nanshan smiled, not serious.
Tao Xiaoqi sat down next to Li Nanshan and gave a serious suggestion: "Plant Chinese medicine." ”
Li Nanshan wasn't scared by her just now, but this time he was really scared, "Planting medicine? You really think highly of me, I really don't. ”
"No, I'll teach you, I'll tell you, you don't have to worry about what to plant, I'll give you seeds and seedlings, you just have to plant." The peach is gushing.
In Li Nanshan, it sounds like a river.
"Who wants?"
"I want it." Momo looked at him with wide eyes.
"I thank you." Li Nanshan regained his expression, only as if she was using him to relieve her boredom.
"Li Nanshan, I'm not kidding you, I'm serious, do you know how much money I sold for herbs last time I went to the county seat?"
"How much?"
"Thirty dollars, just that once!" Tao Xiaoqi gestured three fingers in surprise, "And the pharmacy owner said how much you want." ”
Li Nanshan frowned slightly, thinking about how much credible Tao Xiaoqi's words were.
"Come to my house in the afternoon, and I'll give you some medicinal seedlings first." Seeing that he hesitated, Tao Xiaoqi directly decided for him.
"Where did you get the seedlings?" Li Nanshan thought.
"This, you don't care about this, my family used to be an ancestral family of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is not easy to plant a few medicines."
"Why haven't you heard of it before?" The more Li Nanshan listened, the more confused he became.
"You think, in that era, no talent was virtue, and who dared to take the lead, so you now know why I swallowed my anger like before."
Li Nanshan's brows tightened even tighter, feeling that what he said was quite right, and it didn't work if he thought about it carefully, just like the plot in a book.
Tao Xiaoqi didn't want him to doubt it anymore, so she left directly.
"You plant some first, and you don't lose anything, why don't you do a profitable deal, you don't want others to see you laugh again, right?"
Tao Xiaoqi talked as he walked, and these words vaguely came into Li Nanshan's ears, especially the last sentence, which finally moved him.
Put away his sorrows, he has to get up, the living can't suffocate urine.
As soon as Tao Xiaoqi got home, she went into the space and pulled out about a hundred or so medicinal seedlings, and waited for Li Nanshan's guy to come and get it.
Putting the herbs in the shade, sprinkled with water, and covered with hay, Tao Xiaoqi was busy with all this, sweating, and she suddenly felt that she was very great, and she actually did such a thing in order to cheer up a man.
Once a woman falls in love, it's really terrifying, is she afraid that it's not a love brain?
Li Nanshan didn't eat at noon, and after Tao Xiaoqi left, he ran to the foot of the mountain, put his hands together and took a few sips of spring water, then returned to the field and continued to swing his hoe.
But Tao Xiaoqian's proposal lingered in his mind, and finally waited for the sun to set, everyone called it a day and went back to eat, and he also put away his hoe and prepared to go home.
He walked to the end of the river, ready to cross the bridge, and saw Tao Xiaoqi waiting for him under the locust tree.
Li Nanshan's heart beat faster, not because of the person in front of him, but because of the decision he made at that moment.
"You come to help me pick the locust flowers on this tree, they all say that the scrambled eggs are delicious, but they are too high, and I am a little stunned." Tao Xiaoqi pointed to the locust tree and said to Li Nanshan.
Li Nanshan was still thinking about growing herbs, but Tao Xiaoqi didn't say a word here, could it be that she was really joking?
"You help me pick the locust tree, I will give you the medicine seedlings, and each takes what he needs, which is just offset." Tao Xiaoqi smiled.
Li Nanshan also smiled, "Which branch do you want?" ”
"Here, there, all of them." Tao Xiaoqi pointed to a few places at random.
Li Nanshan climbed the tree and picked a large basket of locust flowers after a while.
"That's enough, come down." Peach Xiaoqi spoke.
Li Nanshan quickly got down with his hands and feet, and handed the basket to Tao Xiaoqi, "Where are the medicine seedlings?" ”
"You come with me." Tao Xiaoqi picked up the basket and got up and walked back.
The sun had completely set, and a faint layer of gold stained the mountains and villages, and the world became gentle. Li Nanshan followed behind Tao Xiaoqian, following in the same direction, cautious, but Tao Xiaoqi was in a different situation, unrestrained, casual, and brisk with a basket. The good mood seems to overflow the chest, and I can't hide it.
