Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 14 The donkey still has some time to rest.

As the saying goes, if it doesn't snow, it won't be cold.

Because there was snow all over the hillside, Li Muyang's body was contaminated with a lot of it. It was okay when the temperature was low, but it started to melt when it warmed up at noon.

It made him wet.

Fortunately, he was prepared. In addition to the tattered coat he was wearing, he also carried a piece of clothing in his bag.

It doesn't matter if it gets wet or dirty, just put on clean clothes when you go back.

He had no psychological baggage. After eating, he immediately launched a new round of the "Three Mao Project" without taking a break.

The mountain breeze blows.

The surrounding small weeds swayed in the wind, and the early dandelions had bloomed, holding small white umbrellas.

When Li Muyang gets excited, he will pinch off a dandelion, blow out the little umbrellas, and then eat its long stem.

The dandelion stems are tender and have a faint sweet taste, which is quite delicious.

But don't eat too much, otherwise you will have diarrhea.

Li Muyang was familiar and unfamiliar with this mountain, which was not considered majestic. What was familiar was that he knew which plants in the mountain could be picked to eat or sold for money.

The strange thing is that after all, he hasn't run in the mountains for many years, and he can't remember the specific place.

Dandelion is called mother-in-law. When mature, it can be used as medicine, and when it is young, it can be eaten as a vegetable.

If people are hungry and thirsty in the mountains, they can eat its stems, which are refreshing and delicious. It is a relatively common wild vegetable.

I don’t know how long this digging lasted.

It wasn't until gusts of cold wind blew over that Li Muyang felt a bit chilly and couldn't help but shiver a few times. Only then did he realize that the sun had unknowingly turned from the south to the west.

Completely blocked by the mountain.

It's starting to get cold in the shade on this side of the mountain.

The temperature wasn't that low, mainly because Li Muyang's clothes were a lot wet and the wind blew them up, making him feel extra cold.

He wanted to continue, but instead of taking a few steps, he even sneezed a few times.

Suddenly people didn't dare to be arrogant.

He can't get sick. Missing the time to dig up cordyceps is a trivial matter. If he gets sick, I won't be able to take care of him.

He sat on the grass and carefully counted the cordyceps in the can. There were nineteen cordyceps in total.

It can be sold for five yuan and seventy cents.

For Li Muyang, who took half a day to work and came out on the first day, this result is quite good.

Even if he earns this much every day, he can earn close to 200 yuan in more than a month.

With a little supplement, I can take my mother to see a doctor.

To put it another way, you must seek medical treatment as early as possible. The longer you delay, the smaller the chance of cure will be.

"Okay, that's it for today. I'm still not fully prepared. Tomorrow I need to find an old raincoat or oilcloth to wrap around myself to cover the moisture on the ground.

Otherwise, even if the snow melts, the grass will be covered with dew in the morning, and the clothes will soon become wet. "

After Li Muyang muttered to himself, he put on the dry clothes he had prepared, packed all the wet clothes and other things he had changed into his bag, and started on his way back.

On the way back, his pace was even faster.

With the 5 yuan and 7 cents in his bag, including his cash, his income has reached more than 80 yuan.

Although it's still not much, the little increase gives him a lot of confidence.My mother said that life passes slowly.

He doesn't have great abilities, so he can only work harder than others.

When he came to the apricot tree, he thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​breaking branches. He didn't have the time now.

We still have to wait until the cordyceps are dug up before planning any plans for cultivating fruit trees.

Let the water flow slowly.

When he passed the Miki Bridge this time, he seemed to be much more confident.

Unexpectedly, my feet did not tremble, and I passed smoothly and calmly.

So that when he stood across the Malian River and looked at the bridge he just passed, he was still a little unbelievable. Was the person strolling across the bridge just now really him?

It seems that there are some benefits to being reborn.

His fear of water and fear of heights seem to be weakening.

With this conjecture, he got confirmation when he climbed all the way up the mulberry tree.

In his imagination, if he climbed up the tree from below, he would definitely feel very uneasy and would not dare to look down.

But in fact, when he climbed halfway up and looked down at the valley, although he was still a little nervous, at least he no longer had the heart palpitations he had before. This was much better than before.

Hmm, not a bad start.

I hope that if I continue to work hard, I will no longer be afraid of heights and water.

He will be a person who walks in the mountains in the future. If he is always afraid of heights, it will be difficult. He will not dare to go to many places, which is very inconvenient.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he ran from the mountainside to the middle of Peach Mountain before slowing down.

The sun is shining on me again.

The sun has long disappeared in Xishan, but here in Taoshan, we can see that the sun is still a long way from setting.

He hummed a song and continued to trot home.

When we got home, the sun had just set, the sky was getting darker, and the moon hung in the sky, like a plate of freshly made tofu.

White and tender.

As soon as Li Muyang turned onto the path in front of his house, he saw his chubby sister-in-law turning the corner. When she saw him, her expression changed.

"Why did you come back just now? You still don't care about your mother. She said she wanted to help you take a look. She has been doing this all day. Is everything okay at home?"

Li Muyang knew that his sister-in-law was like this, so he didn't argue with her. He said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Li Muyang's good attitude made it difficult for Milan Lan to get angry. She said in a calmer tone, "Why do you take care of the old man? What do you give him to eat? You see he has diarrhea. You need to cook your food in the future. Don't worry." Eat it half-cooked.

Also, she is old and confused, and she is greedy and wants to eat everything. Are you also old and ignorant?There are rules for taking care of the elderly. You can’t just do whatever you want! "

Li Muyang didn't quite understand what his sister-in-law meant, so he looked at her in confusion. His direct look made Milan Lan even more irritated.

"Taking care of the elderly is like taking care of children. Their stomachs and intestines are very sensitive. They are very greedy and can't control themselves. If you listen to them in everything, it will not only make it harder for you to take care of them, but it will also hurt their bones. Do you understand? Understand?"

Only then did Li Muyang understand.

He recalled that from yesterday to this morning, he didn't seem to have given his mother any food that was easy to cause diarrhea. It was just simple steamed buns, boiled water, and some stir-fried vegetables. Could it be because the vegetables were too cold?
No matter what, it is true that my mother has diarrhea, and what my sister-in-law said makes sense. Li Muyang smiled and said, "I understand, sister-in-law. I will pay more attention to it later. Thank you for reminding me."

Li Muyang was polite again, which made Milanlan feel uncomfortable to continue, so she explained a few more words and muttered: "Don't call me for this kind of thing in the future. I have a very busy day, taking care of the little ones, the older ones, and more Old man, I am a donkey tied to a millstone, and the donkey is still able to rest!"
