Chapter 118 Melaleuca Bottom

Li Heng, who delivered the box, has not said anything since he came back, both Li Hui and Yan Yixin could tell.

In the end, it was Yan Yixin who touched him with her hand and asked:
"What's the matter, did you encounter any problems when delivering the things?"

Li Heng said "ah", then looked at his father and asked:
"Father, if I sympathize with Li Wanshan, wouldn't it be great?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Li Heng scratched his head and said after a while:

"Today, I sent a box of leeks to Uncle Zhou because I saw Li Wanshan. He was sitting at the door of his house, staring pitifully at the plate and swallowing his saliva. His nose was a little runny, and his clothes hadn't been changed for several days. He was full of snot. At first I ignored him, but after delivering it, he was still sitting like that, his eyes were red, I...I couldn't help but ask him what's wrong."

Li Hui nodded, and asked while feeding Li Huai the porridge:

"Then how did he answer?"

"He didn't answer, so he ran to the house directly. I saw that the door of his house was open, so... I went in. Dad, don't stare at me, I know how to measure it. If he wants to pretend to be pitiful to me, I will definitely ignore it. But he didn’t at that time. After I entered the hospital, I heard his mother’s coughing and his crying. He wanted to ask Grandpa Dong for help to see a doctor, but his mother refused.”

"What about his father?" Cheng Xue asked.

"I don't know, I didn't see or hear him." Li Heng replied, "Mom, listening to that cough, I feel like my lungs are going to come out."

Cheng Xue was pleased with his softness and affirmed his wisdom.Know when you can't enter and what you can't.

This age is the time not to hold grudges, so we should protect them well.

"You did the right thing, but next time, mother still hopes that you will not take risks. After all, you must be on guard. Both mother and your father know about this matter. Let your father go to the patriarch and the family later. Right, let them come forward and take a look."

"Well, good." Li Heng nodded heavily, sweeping away the haze just now.

After dinner, as soon as Li Hui went out to report the news, Yu Zhao led the oxen to the cart and transported manure to the field.

Except for last year's spring plowing and autumn harvest, the three of them didn't come. In the past, they would come here to help after planting their own land.

Li Heng, Yan Yixin and Li Yue all followed her to the ground. Although she was not allowed to go to the ground, the little girl couldn't stay.Cheng Xue took care of the children at home, and took the opportunity to paste the bed with wooden boards.

袼褙 is to use pulp to glue the rags layer by layer, then air-dry and cut into the shape of the sole.Generally, 8 to 10 pieces are formed into a group, and the ground is densely stitched, and some side processing is done. This is commonly known as a thousand-layer bottom.

Spring plowing is the most wasteful shoe, so hurry up and make a few more pairs when you are not busy, so as not to have no shoes to wear.

A whole sheet of thick 袼褙 was pasted up, picked up and placed on the floor table, and taken out to dry tomorrow.The second photo was half blurred, and Li Hui came back with Yu Zhao and the others.Yu Zhao hated the debt and wanted to do it again, but Li Hui refused.

"The people hired by the family this year are very real. Don't worry, hurry up and go to bed. I'll be busy tomorrow. I just told Brother Dake that you should come back with him after work."

"Okay." Yu Zhao listened to the persuasion, and led the cow to the backyard to unload the car.

When Li Hui entered the room and saw Cheng Xue working by candlelight, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Ms. Wan Shan is very ill. I planned to ask Uncle Dong to come over to show her, but I didn't expect Li Qingnian to come back."

"Why, he can't find it when he comes back? Or...he drove you all away?"

"Not really." Li Hui shook his head, "Anyway, he didn't ask Uncle Dong, he said that he would take Mrs. Qin to the town to see a doctor tomorrow."

Cheng Xue let out a "hmm" and kept working.

"Okay, he likes to use it or not, anyway, let's just turn a blind eye to it."

"I'm going to teach the children to read." Li Hui finished speaking and went out.

Cheng Xue pasted four quilts, rubbed her swollen neck, and put the quilt on the kang.The two children had already fallen asleep head to head. Looking at their peaceful sleeping faces and their chubby little faces, they felt at ease.

Li Huai, who is over one year old, can talk a lot more than before, and laughs at everyone, which is very cute.She could even imagine that when the child grows up, he will be a chatterbox.

Two days later, spring plowing officially began.

Cheng Xue led people to work in the fields every day, besides plowing the fields with oxen, there were also manual plows, and the hand-pulled plows used by Yan Yixin and Li Heng.

This thing works faster than humans. Basically, a human can make a ridge on his back, and a hand-pulled plow can plow one and a half.

Many people in the village came to ask where they bought this item, and Cheng Xue was not stingy, telling them where to order it, and then there was no news.

There is no way, the materials and workmanship are too expensive, and it is not accounted for.A pair of plow sticks is indeed very expensive, but when divided by ten or twenty years, it is not so expensive.

Those who work on forest farms have to get up early in the morning when they don't have time to farm at night.Every time at this time, Xiao Qinglin had to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.

For this reason, every day after lunch, give them a rest time for a stick of incense.A simple nap can also relieve fatigue, which is better than working hard in the afternoon.

After buying Qin, since Cheng Xue took Li Heng and Yan Yixin to work in the fields every day, Lian came to tutor Li Yue and help take care of the children along the way.Not only taught her to play the piano, but also go and paint. Although they were all superficial, Li Yue studied very seriously and was very serious about learning.

In the middle of the spring plowing, she can play a simple tune.She is willing to practice and earnestly practice, Lian Shi admires her tenacity.

Within two days, the day for the second conscription was set.After the notification the night before, I left early the next morning without giving everyone any time to react.

Those who work in the forest farm are okay, so they have a day off specially to let them send off their loved ones.This trip to the south was with the large army from the northern border, so the villagers in the village all finished work early that night, just to go to the official road to take a look at their children the next day.

There is no war in the North, so everyone knows the kids are safe.But going south is not guaranteed, maybe this is the last time they meet.

Xiao Qinglin specially helped to inquire about it, and Yu Xuan had to go south with her this time.Although he assured that the garrison department is only counting and counting and will not go to the battlefield, who can say for sure?

Cheng Xue found Li Hui's several thin clothes, and then packed all the layered bottoms he made recently.

"Sister-in-law is enough, stop pretending." Yu Zhao was very embarrassed.

Cheng Xue shook her head, and put on the anti-itch and swelling ointment she made a while ago.

There are children at home, so she made some ahead of time when she had enough medicinal materials.

Who would have thought that it would be used for my cousin, if I knew it would make more wound medicine and so on, I would feel at ease.

"The time is too short, if I tell you earlier, I can prepare more."

Yu Zhao looked at the big burden and said with a smile:
"That's a lot, my mother may not be able to prepare so much for him."

"Okay, you go back to the house and sleep, I'll make something for your brother so that he won't be hungry in the middle of the night."

He is really envious of the relationship between his cousin and his sister-in-law.

For more than ten years, when the house in the west of the village was built, he also went back to pick up his wife, and they will not be separated in the future...
