Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 240 I don't want to do it again
"I understand that ginseng is fine just by looking at it. The weight is not important now. Let's go home quickly." Wu Meng stood up and said with a grin, "It's like a steamer in the woods. It's so hot that it can be roasted."

"Take a bath in Xiaohe before noon." Wu Hao stood up and smelled the sour smell on his clothes. He didn't have time to wash his clothes these days, and he was sweating every day.

Although carrying a mallet makes money, it is really not easy to find a mallet.

The trees can block the sun, the four of them walked close to the forest, Wu Meng led the way, knocked on the tree to scare the animals after walking for a while, wiped off his sweat, looked towards the east and said.

"The uncle doesn't treat us as human beings so much, why don't you come to pick us up, the heat is unbearable."

Wu Hao followed behind and said: "Walk by the forest, he can't see us, he should have come here once in the morning."

"When I take a bath in the river, let off smoke, and he will come over when he sees it. Otherwise, he doesn't want to drive back and forth on such a hot day."

Wu Meng laughed and said: "Don't be like my sister said, it's fine if his father is unreliable."

Wu Hao also laughed, he has been out for ten days, and he misses the little girl at home.

After they went into the mountain to pick the fruit, they went south and east to find the mushrooms. When they came out, they also turned to the northeast.

Guan Zilong was surprised and said, "Why is there a flood?"

Wu Hao looked forward, and there was another river ten meters to the east of the small river, with a width of seven or eight meters and a depth of about knees.

He looked at Linzi and said, "I beat the otters to build a dam on the north side of the river last year, and now another nest of otters has come to the south."

"They should have built a dam four or five miles to the south. Now the water level is high, and some water is overflowing from the dam."

Wu Meng wiped off his sweat and asked, "Did you hit it?"

"Don't fight." Wu Hao shook his head: "Take off your shoes and cross the river, go east and take a bath again."

Let the three of them clean out their trouser pockets, take off their shoes and put on their clothes directly into the river. The water is waist deep and very clear.

You can see Big Mao and Er Mao diving to catch fish, and the little brown dog pawing and swimming, and occasionally diving into the water to wash the dog's head.

When the group reached the other side, Wu Hao led the way into the woods, stepping on the knee-deep water, passing through the tree hairs, and only walked less than ten meters.

In front is an open space of about [-] square meters, and the river flows from the south of the open space to form a stream.

In front of the open space, there are several flat stones under the water. The area of ​​each stone is not small, and the water level is only a dozen centimeters high.

Guan Zilong smiled and said, "This place is good. If the water is shallower, you can lie on the rocks and sleep."

"You can lie down by the woods." Wu Hao took the lead and walked over, first knocked on the trunk for a while to scare the animals away, put the basket under the tree, took off the watch and put it in the basket.

After asking the three of them to light smoke, he put the gun by the creek and found a log with a diameter of ten centimeters before entering the creek.

Lying down with a log as a pillow, water running behind the ears, soaking the whole body in the water.

Can't help but sigh: "It's so cool!"

After the three of them lit the wolf cigarettes, they took out their pockets, put on their clothes and lay in the water, which flowed from the river four miles away.

Even if there are trees in the middle to block the sun, the temperature of the water is still a bit hot, but it is much cooler with the trees above their heads.

Guan Zilong closed his eyes and said, "It would be nice if I could sleep for a while, it's really a pleasure."

The three of them did not answer, and lay quietly. Half an hour later, Wu Hao got up and knocked on the tree, went back to the creek and sat down, took off his clothes and began to wash.

The other three took off their clothes and waited until all the clothes were washed and hung on the branches to dry.

I couldn't see anything even though I was holding the clothes just now.

just now.

Guan Zilong glanced around and sighed: "It's in my stomach! It's in my stomach!"

After saying that, he laughed.

The other two laughed after being infected, and Wu Hao laughed after explaining: "I will stop growing when I grow to 1.8 meters five."

After finishing speaking, ignore their arguments, go back to the creek to take a bath, pick up the gun and go north out of the forest, looking to the east, a big truck is coming.

His father will definitely ask the people in the village to help him look to the west. If he sees smoke or receives news, his father will definitely come over.

The truck stopped by the creek, and the three people in the woods heard the voice and came out. Wu Meng looked at Old Wu and complained: "If you don't come, sir, I will be hot."

Wu Weiguo poked his head out of the car window and said angrily, "Didn't you see that I pushed the pasture out of the way? I ran out of a tank of oil!"

Wu Meng looked at the ruts on the pasture, there were indeed quite a few, and he didn't know what to say anymore, for fear of being scolded.

Wu Weiguo glanced at the four people who had washed their clothes and asked, "What are you doing? Are you drying them?"

Seeing that no one answered his words, he asked again, "Why did you come back?"

Wu Meng replied first: "Bringing the mallet is a waste of time."

Wu Weiguo nodded without further questioning.

Guan Zilong felt the heat again, and said, "Put on your clothes and go home, we both have to hurry up and take the things to the city to deal with before we can ship them out."

"Not less than 10 minutes, wait for the clothes to dry before leaving." Wu Hao walked to the edge of the forest and squatted down.

The three of them squatted down after hearing the words, and the car put out the fire. Wu Weiguo couldn't stand the temperature in the car, seeing that they were not in a hurry to go back, he got out of the car and went to the edge of the forest to inquire about entering the mountain.

There was no wind at all today, even if they hid in the shade of a tree, the five of them were sweating profusely.

In the Northeast, province L can still feel some changes in the four seasons, and province J can feel it around spring.

H province, especially the area north of Daxing'an Mountains, has two seasons a year, summer and winter.

The city surrounded by mountains is like a sauna in summer, not humid, but very hot.

There are no high mountains around their village, and the northwest wind blowing from the grassland is very cold in winter, and it is very hot without wind in summer.

The room is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is very stuffy, and I always feel a little out of breath.

Yesterday it was 28 degrees above zero, and today it was close to [-] degrees above zero. Many people came out to find a shady place to stay.

Those who work will also choose to get up early and work late, and rest when it is hot at noon.

There are two elm trees and a willow tree next to the house on the east side of the big trumpet house. They are not tall, but the trees are dense.

At that time, Wu Hao chose to leave the road more than ten meters away, which was also due to the three trees. In summer, the neighbors nearby eat and chat under the tree, and they can also sleep.

It was so hot today that even the naughty Li Erbai couldn't take it anymore, so he spread a straw curtain under the tree and fell asleep soundly.

The second daughter-in-law was sitting on the edge of the straw curtain. She was fat, and her head was sweating even if she sat still.

One meter to the north of them is a half-meter-high wooden table, anyone can eat here, and others can move the table.

In the Northeast, it is cold in winter and must eat hot food. Now that there are no vegetables in winter, every family will make a good hot food.

But summer heat is different. Women think cooking is hot. When they are not working, they don’t know what time to eat or what to eat, and they can’t eat.

There is also a straw curtain to the north of the table, on which sits a child with his waist bent, his shoulders drawn up, and his head lowered.

A little bit of saliva dripped from the open mouth, and Xiaodoubao wiped his mouth, trying to raise his head, and his eyelids were fighting.

Wanting to sleep but too hungry to sleep, his little face looked sickly, and he lay down again listlessly.

The golden eagle, the silly roe deer, and the dog were lying on their stomachs on the concrete floor of the house and did not come out. She was too young, and her mother would not let her sleep on the concrete floor.

After lying down for less than 3 minutes, I sat up again, tossed and tossed several times, and muttered softly: "I'm sick."

Gao Lijuan walked over from the new house, holding two pills of medicine and a water ladle in her hand, handed them over and said, "Old girl, take the medicine, and you'll be fine after you take it."

Xiaodoubao lowered his head and shook his little head: "It's not good to finish this time, I won't do it again."

At this time, Aunt Zhang led her daughter out of the alley and asked, "What's wrong with this child? He was fine yesterday."

Gao Lijuan put the medicine and water on the small table and said: "Last night when I went home, I felt like I had a heatstroke. I was confused at that time. I gave her some medicine. She was much better this morning. It will be serious again. I haven't taken anything since morning. .”

Aunt Zhang was taken aback and said, "Can she skip two meals?"

This is so strange!

Gao Lijuan nodded: "I really didn't eat."

Aunt Zhang took a closer look, and the child frowned listlessly. She could see that she was uncomfortable, and said, "When will I get better if I don't take medicine?"

"Take the medicine twice and it doesn't work, so I won't take it again." Gao Lijuan didn't do anything. The medicine she took didn't work well, and she couldn't force the old girl to take it. She had to wait for Wu Weiguo to come back and let him go to the village to buy it.

"Still not taking medicine?" Aunt Zhang looked at her daughter and said, "Look at how I let her take it!"

After finishing speaking, I went home, went into the house and took out two bags of fruit peels from the cabinet, which were hawthorn rolls.

The ones produced in Hbei have only been sold for more than a year. Nowadays, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is rare to see fruit peels in the village.

Wu Hao has never bought it, and the little girl has never seen this thing.

Aunt Zhang knew that she hadn't eaten it, so she took medicine when her daughter had a cold and gave her a snack. I don't believe that greedy cat can hold it back.

I went back under the tree and started tearing off the package, making a loud noise on purpose.

Sure enough, Xiaodoubao turned her head and stared at it.

Gao Lijuan reminded: "She didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of watermelon today, you are useless."

Aunt Zhang didn't believe in evil, seeing her old girl looking like she wanted to eat, the greedy cat on the north side of the table swallowed secretly, she would definitely eat it!

He picked up the medicine, handed it over and said, "Take the medicine."

He handed over Guodanpi again: "Your."

Xiaodoubao stared at Guodan skin, remembering that she had never eaten it, she rolled her eyes and said, "I have to taste it first."

"Okay, here you are." Aunt Zhang handed it over directly.

Xiaodoubao opened his mouth and took a small bite. He was drunk by his father and elder brother with wine, so he didn't dare to eat more strange things.

As soon as the fruit skin was in the mouth, it was wrinkled by the sour face, and then it chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it.

Seeing her appearance, Aunt Zhang felt confident, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Good time." Xiaodoubao nodded, looking at Guodanpi.

Aunt Zhang smiled at Gao Lijuan, which means you can see if it works, Gao Lijuan curled her lips, she knows the old girl too well.

Aunt Zhang didn't care about her expression, and handed over the medicine first: "Come and eat."

He handed over two more fruit skins: "It's all yours!"

Xiaodoubao looked at Yanguo Danpi, lowered his head and said, "I don't want to do it again."

"Me!" Aunt Zhang was so angry that she couldn't speak, she looked at Gao Lijuan and then at the second daughter-in-law, both of them laughed, they had already guessed the result.

People are just curious about unfamiliar snacks. Now that they have tasted it, they know what it is, so they don't want to eat it.

Aunt Zhang looked at the little girl and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Xiaodoubao lowered his head and muttered weakly: "I thought it was something good, but it turned out to be fooling me with hawthorn."

"Hawthorn is not good, right?" Aunt Zhang said angrily, "What do you want to eat?"

Xiaodoubao raised her head to signal her to look at the new house, and said listlessly, "Look at what the landlord's house lacks?"

"I~" Aunt Zhang glanced at the new house, opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

The second daughter-in-law said from the side: "Oh, I can't eat anything because of heat stroke, let alone the child, why are you angry with her?"

Aunt Zhang thought it made sense. She didn't want to eat because of heat stroke, so she couldn't fix the little girl and had to put the medicine aside.

Gao Lijuan knelt down and said, "The old girl has to eat, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."

After hearing this, Xiaodoubao became more energetic, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't even want to eat the fried fish that Dad made this morning. You'd better not do it. I don't want to eat anything."

It was uncomfortable in the morning, smelling the smell of oil, how can I eat it, it is normal for children not to be able to eat in summer, Wu Weiguo didn't care, and went to the greenhouse to help.

"Is it okay if you don't eat?" Gao Lijuan complained: "If you don't eat, when will you get better? Your dad drove out, and mom will do it for you."

She left.

Xiaodoubao shouted weakly: "Don't do it, don't do it."

When they were far away, she sighed and lowered her head. Her mother's cooking was not good, and she couldn't eat even if she was sick.

Vegetables were planted in the yard of the old house. Gao Lijuan went in to look around, and finally picked three persimmons.

There are several kinds of persimmons in Northeast China. The tomatoes she picks are also called persimmons. The green ones are also ripe.

Gao Lijuan thinks that the old girl should be able to eat it when she sees the novelty of cooking in a different color, just like seeing the fruit danpi, she wants to taste it.

Returning to the new house to fry persimmons is very fast.

She even lit the fire and stir-fried vegetables, and it didn't take 5 minutes before and after. The rice doesn't need to be hot in summer, so she put a bowl of rice and vegetables on the table and said, "Old girl, come and eat."

Xiao Dou Bao looked at the dishes on the plate in shock, and asked after a while, "What is this?"

What she asked was not persimmons.

"Green persimmons are delicious." Gao Lijuan persuaded, "The doctor told you to eat lightly, eat something, or you won't get better."

Xiaodoubao struggled to move to the table, stared at the plate and asked, "There is green, where is the egg?"

Just because the food doesn't look good doesn't mean it doesn't have any fragrance. When the food was put down, Li Erbai woke up when he smelled it, and rubbed his eyes.

Hearing the little girl's words, she looked over for a moment and then said in surprise: "Oh! This dish is amazing! Fried persimmons with persimmons!"

Gao Lijuan ignored him, and said to the old girl: "It doesn't look good, but it tastes delicious."

Xiaodoubao hid back and said timidly, "I'm afraid."

Gao Lijuan asked doubtfully, "What are you afraid of?"

Xiaodoubao lowered her head and muttered, "I'm afraid my stomach will hurt."

There are eggs in the dish, and she can still eat some, but there is only a plate of blue and dark persimmons, which would scare anyone who looks at it.

It's hot in summer, so I'm in a hurry to cook, and the fire is too hot.

Gao Lijuan rolled her eyes angrily, the second daughter-in-law and Aunt Zhang couldn't help laughing.

Li Erhuai looked at his mother and asked, "My second son's wife, she doesn't cook in the morning or at noon, what's wrong? You want to starve to death, young master?"
