Weak Xuan felt that grandma's method was good, so she pretended to ask for directions, so she could talk to the other party, so she was not afraid of being scared at all and knocked on the dilapidated courtyard door and said crisply: "Is anyone there?" ”

He Xinghua was cooking sweet potato porridge and spreading noodles in the house, and her father and mother took her younger brother up the mountain to chop wood, and she was going to bring them lunch in a while, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door and the sound of a child, and she walked out of the stove room in surprise.

Weak Xuan knocked on the door again: "Is anyone there?" ”

He Xinghua was sure that she had heard correctly, and that she had seen a strange old woman from the courtyard wall that was half a person high.

It was an old man and a child, and it was broad daylight, and in the village, she was not afraid to come out, opened the courtyard door, and then the defense in her eyes turned into amazement.

What a beautiful and cute girl!

Weak Xuan tilted her little head and smiled sweetly: "Sister, do you know where it is convenient to go up the mountain near your village?" ”

Lei Pozi glanced at He Xinghua without a trace, she grew quite tall, her skeleton was a little big, her facial features were exquisite, her eyebrows were clear, she was not very beautiful, it was far worse than the Jiang family and the Liu family, it was estimated that it was because of her dark skin, but the girl who did a lot of farm work in the village, which one was not black?

Dark skin proves diligence, and you can be whiter if you cover it for a winter, and you will look much better if you are whiter.

Lei Pozi quietly glanced at her hand holding the courtyard gate again, it was a pair of hands full of vicissitudes, the skin was rough, the bones were slightly larger, there were many small scars on the five fingers, and there were some new small wounds, which made people know that they had done a lot of farm work at a glance.

At least Mrs. Zhang said that this girl is diligent.

Lei Pozi also spoke at this time: "Girl, excuse me, I heard that there are many medicinal herbs in the mountains near Xinghua Village, and we want to go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs, but it is safer to go up the mountain from somewhere." ”

Anyone who is so cute and beautiful, like a fairychild-like girl like Xuanbao, can't be on guard.

Moreover, although Lei Pozi wore the coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary peasant women, the clothes of the ancestors and grandchildren were half-new and cleanly washed, not like begging, and the old lady had a kind face and spoke politely, and felt a little different from the old woman in the village, and it was estimated that the wife of a barefoot doctor from a nearby village came here to collect medicine.

If someone in the family knows medical skills, they can earn money for the elders and villagers in the village, and they will have a good life, and they will be willing to wear such good clothes to go up the mountain to collect medicine. No wonder he can raise his granddaughter so white and fat, just like Fuwa in the New Year's painting.

He Xinghua had a guess in her heart, and spoke to the old and the young, and her voice unconsciously softened: "From the path at the end of the village all the way to the foot of the mountain, there is a way up the mountain." But we have a lot of mountains here, mountains are connected to mountains, mother-in-law and little girl, one old and one young, don't go too far, there will be fierce beasts. ”

Weak Xuan said sweetly: "Thank you, beautiful sister, my grandmother and I are not collecting medicine for the first time, and we know that we can't go too in." ”

confirmed the eyes, this girl is a husband and wife with the uncle.

Of course, although the future aunt is black and strong,

was called a beautiful sister by a girl who looked like a little fairy, He Xinghua's face was a little red, but her skin was a little dark and she couldn't see it.

Lei Pozi said again: "Thank you, girl, our ancestors and grandchildren came from the village early in the morning, and they didn't drink a sip of water, I don't know if we can ask for a bowl of water to drink?" ”

He Xinghua immediately said: "Mother-in-law, wait, I'll go and pour you a bowl of water." ”

She didn't invite the two into the house, after all, it was necessary to guard against people.

Although her family is the poorest in the village, there are still chickens and ducks in the yard, and there are a few taels of silver hidden in her father's house.

He Xinghua glanced left and right at the village road without a trace, and couldn't see if there were Tibetans, so she closed the courtyard door before turning around and going back to the stove room to bring water.

Only then did she remember that the old woman said that she was going to collect medicine, but she didn't bring any of them with her back basket.

Lei Pozi nodded secretly in her heart, this girl is kind-hearted and quite vigilant.

People can be kind-hearted, but they must not lose their vigilance, otherwise good-heartedness will turn into harm to others and oneself.

When He Xinghua opened the courtyard door, she also glanced at the courtyard, the yard was very clean, and the things were placed in an orderly manner.

It can be seen that it is a hard-working and clean family.

Lei Pozi asked weak Xuan: "Xuanbao, what do you think of this girl?" ”

Weak Xuan: "He is a good person, and he has a husband and wife relationship with his uncle." ”

As for whether it was a match made in heaven, she could not see it until the two met.

Or you can know the other person's birthday.

Lei Pozi laughed.

Xuanbao said this, which proved that his eldest son would not be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

So when He Xinghua came out with two bowls of water, she met Lei Pozi's very loving eyes.

He Xinghua: "."

How do you look at this look, how do you look like a plot!

Lei Pozi looked at the eldest daughter-in-law's eyes.

She has always treated her daughter-in-law as her own daughter.

"Mother-in-law, little girl, this is your water. There are no good things at home, just two bowls of boiled water, the water has been cooled, not hot, a little warm, just enough to drink. ”

Too cold water is not good for the elderly and children, so she poured two bowls of boiling warm water.

Lei Pozi is more satisfied in her heart, she is a careful girl.

If you are so careful, you will definitely be able to take care of your son and take care of your family in the future.

Lei Pozi and Xuanbao took the bowl, and both of them drank it in one go.

Lei Pozi drank not a drop left, and handed the bowl back to the other party: "Thank you girl's water, it's not too early, let's go up the mountain to collect medicine." ”

Weak Xuan spoke again: "Beautiful sister, do you have any extra baskets at home, my grandmother just carried me with a basket for a while, and the basket was crushed by me." I'd like to buy one with you, otherwise we'll have nothing to pack after picking herbs for a while. ”

I see! He Xinghua took the bowl and nodded, "I have an old back basket at home, I made it myself, I don't need to buy it, I'll give it to you!" ”

Saying that, she closed the courtyard door again, went in and took an old basket out to give to the grandparents: "Mother-in-law, be careful when you enter the mountain." ”

Lei Pozi took it with a smile: "Thank you, girl!" ”

Weak Xuan said sweetly: "Thank you, beautiful sister!" We'll go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs in a while, and if we catch a pheasant, we'll give you one. Farewell, let's go collect medicine first! ”

Then Lei Pozi and Xuanbao walked towards the path she had just pointed out.

Since Xuanbao said that she would go up the mountain to collect medicine, Lei Pozi felt that she had to go up the mountain for a while to make a show before going down the mountain.

He Xinghua didn't care too much, she just felt that this little girl's mouth was so sweet, but pheasants were so easy to catch, and the villagers went up the mountain every day, and there were no pheasants in the mountains.

He Xinghua returned to the house, put the sweet potato porridge into a clay pot, and then filled the baked multigrain cakes, and carried the food basket up the mountain.

On the way, she also saw an old man and a young figure going up the mountain.

It seems that it is really a medicine picker.
