Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 104

After Zhou Fangjing and his wife disappeared into the forest path, Lu Lv turned around, took out the grass balls blocked in the chimney, and went back to the cellar to cook.

There are several shrubs in the newly built fence, which are all things that sika deer can eat.

While the rice was steaming, Lu Lu took a look. The doe was already picking and eating, licking and licking the fawn from time to time, and it was well collared.

Yuan Bao and the three puppies walked around the fence for a long time, finally realized that it was not their food, and returned to the open space in front of the cellar.

It finally quieted down.

After making meals to fill his stomach and feeding the four of Yuan Baoniang, Lu Lu practiced shooting for a while, until it was dark, then went back to the cellar, added firewood, continued to bake the deer heart, and boiled hot water to soak his feet.

He cleaned and dried his feet carefully, put on the pair of lace-up shoes that Chen Xiuyu had sent him, and walked back and forth in the cellar.

Inexplicably, he thought of that woman Zhou Fangjing again, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it would be safe, so he had to pay attention.

The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, Lu Lu led Yuan Baoniang and the four of them to Xiushantun early.

It was just dawn, and the industrious people in the village had already come to life. Those who carried water, those who lit the fire and cooked, and some, had already driven the animals to the field.

Now that the field has started sowing, the food needed for a year is only a few short months away, and everyone is very busy.

Lu Lu was already somewhat of a celebrity in the village.

Walking along the way, everyone who met him greeted him with a smile.

When they reached the door of Chen Xiuyu's house, Lu Lv shouted through the courtyard door, "Qing Zi, are you up yet?"

The appointment was made yesterday, Chen Xiu had woken up early in the morning, and was busy making breakfast with Chen Xiuyu in the kitchen.

Hearing Lu Lu's shout, he immediately pushed the door open and ran out to open the courtyard door: "Brother Lu...quick, sit inside."

Chen Xiuyu also jumped out, and shouted from a distance: "Brother Lu!"

"Old girl!" Lu Lu greeted her with a smile, then turned to look at Chen Xiuqing: "What are you still doing?"

"I told my sister that you're coming this morning and I'm busy cooking and waiting for you."

"Ah... I've already eaten!"

Chen Xiuqing was stunned when she heard the words: "It's all my fault, I didn't make it clear to Brother Lu yesterday...Brother Lu, let's go in and eat some more."

"I'm not an idiot, so I've eaten so much, you guys can eat by yourself. I'll go hunting in the red pine forest to the east. Come and find me when you're done eating!"

After Lu Lu finished speaking with a smile, he led the four of Yuan Baoniang, turned around and left.

Seeing that Lu Lvyuan didn't enter the gate, Chen Xiuyu hurried over: "Brother, what's wrong with Lu Lv, why don't you come in?"

"Brother Lu said that he has already eaten, let's go first and let me look for him in the woods in Tundong." Chen Xiuqing also frowned slightly.

"You are stupid, you won't drag brother Lu home?"

Chen Xiuyu clenched her fist and hammered Chen Xiuqing's arm, and said angrily, "You iron-skinned fool."

Chen Xiuqing scratched her hair: "Do you think it's because of what happened to our mother last time?"

"That's right, Brother Lu has never been to our house since that time. Look at it now, it's all at the gate of the courtyard and you don't come in..."

As Chen Xiuyu said, she turned her head to look at her house, and saw Ma Jinlan sitting on the kang with her head leaning against the window looking out.

Seeing Chen Xiuyu looking at her, Ma Jinlan quickly retracted her head.

Chen Xiuyu was so angry that she went back to the house slowly, and knocked the food prepared on the stove on the kang table: "Mom, what are you looking at? Are you satisfied now?"

Ma Jinlan kept her head depressed and didn't speak, but when she watched Chen Xiuyu return to the kitchen to serve the dishes, she looked at her back with a smile on her face, and when Chen Xiuqing came in, she quickly put them away.

"Clear, don't run to the mountains all day long knowing that other people's fields have started sowing. Take it easy and plant the land." Ma Jinlan glanced at him: "Hunting and hunting every day , I didn’t see you bring anything home, and you were scratched by Xiong Xiazi once, and you haven’t learned a lesson. Go to someone to borrow a cow and a horse, and there is no longer any delay.”

"If you want to borrow it yourself, I don't have the skills. No one in this town is looking at me now, so I can't say that."

After Chen Xiuqing finished speaking, Ma Jinlan didn't care where she was trembling with anger, she hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice, picked up the hunting bag of the shotgun hanging on the wall, got up and left, and ran into someone who came in with boiled soup in the kitchen. Chen Xiuyu, step aside quickly.

"Brother, why did you leave?" Chen Xiuyu was a little dazed.

"I'm done eating!"

Chen Xiuqing left the sentence and walked out of the room quickly.

"This... the food is not finished yet!"

Chen Xiuyu looked at Chen Xiuqing who was running away, and then at her mother who was livid on the kang, and put the soup bowl on the kang table again.

The meal was dull, the mother and daughter were staring at each other.

Chen Xiuqing hurried all the way, and when he found Lu Lu in the red pine forest in Tundong, he saw Lu Lu beat the gray dog ​​jumping on the branch with a slingshot.

Chen Xiuqing was very envious of Lu Lu Lu's slingshot skill. With this skill, he would not have to worry about food and clothing just by shooting small animals.

When Lu Lu picked up the gray dog ​​and stuffed it into the hunting bag, Chen Xiuqing walked over quickly.

"It's finished so soon?" Lu Lu felt that it hadn't been a while.

"Just eat something casually!" Chen Xiuqing smiled innocently: "Brother Lu, are you still worrying about my mother that night..."

As soon as he heard him speak, Lu Lu knew that he must have had an idea because he hadn't entered their house.

"Don't think too much, I came here after I had eaten, I didn't go in, I just wanted to get something in the woods first..."

Lu Lu really didn't have Chen Xiuqing's thoughts. Seeing that he was worried: "Well, let's go collect bees and get something to eat at your house at noon."

Hearing this, Chen Xiuqing finally let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Qingzi, I think a lot of people are starting to farm. You harvested the bees today, so you quickly recruited people to plant your own fields. You have to hurry up. If you miss it, it will affect the harvest in September. "

Thinking of the busy people he met in the morning, Lu Lu suggested.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the food that makes people full is the most reassuring, and this has always been the top priority.

If you have a heart, you will be steadfast.

"Brother Lu, I know. But there are no animals at home. If you want to plant, you have to wait until someone has finished planting and the animals are free. Then you can borrow them. Everyone is busy at this time, so you have to wait."

Not all families can afford to raise livestock. This family is short-staffed, and it takes a lot of effort to farm the land.

"Otherwise, go to the district with me tomorrow, sell those things, get the money, and go buy the animals, so you don't have to wait all the time. If you are slow in planting, don't let the crops fail." It's bad to have a frost at the end of the day."

Lu Lu thought for a while, and it was indeed what Chen Xiuqing said, but waiting was not an option.

The things obtained from hunting in the past few days will be distributed to him after they are sold. It is not a problem to buy cattle and horses.
