Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 17 Why are you looking for a sister-in-law?

"Whoo~"

When Li Muyang heard the rooster crow, he climbed up from the kang, took out the match under his pillow, and lit the kerosene lamp.

The dark room began to light up.

"Five, why are you earlier than yesterday?"

Yuan Rufeng was stimulated by the light and woke up. When she saw Li Muyang getting dressed, she asked worriedly.

"Mom, I went a little late yesterday and missed a few hours of digging. I always feel it's a pity. Today I want to go early and dig more."

"Then you have to wait until dawn before going. It's pitch dark outside and you can't see anyone. How are you going?"

"It's okay. After I've heated the kang for you and prepared the food, I have to tell my second sister-in-law about it. That's all."

Li Muyang said without stopping.

He quickly put on his clothes, jumped off the kang, and hid the cans and bottles on the window sill in the deepest part of the clothes box. Unless someone knew what was hidden here, they would definitely not be able to dig through it.

He didn't want to guard against others, but there were always some dirty people in the village. If they came in for any reason and secretly took things away, he would suffer a big loss.

After putting away the things, he quickly helped his mother fill the kang with some leaves, and then took the basin to the kitchen.

Li Muyang's house has a total of three rooms. He and his mother live in one room, one is used for storing sundries, and the smallest one is used as a kitchen.

There are only two people in the house, his mother and him, and cooking is relatively simple. It takes a while for them to make a pot of steamed buckwheat noodles or steamed buns.

Li Muyang first put two beams into the pot, lit a fire and heated them up. After taking the time to wash his face and brush his teeth, Li Muyang helped his mother boil an egg in the back pot.

He expected that the little hen at home would not be able to eat eggs for a while. He bought this from a neighbor's house, thinking that his mother would eat one every day to supplement her body's nutrition.

He only has more than 70 yuan in his hand now, and he doesn't dare to spend it randomly. This is money to save his mother's life. If something happens to her suddenly, it won't be okay if she can't get the money.

I can only prepare an egg for my mother every day first, and then try to let my mother eat some meat when she is a little more relaxed.

After making a simple breakfast, Li Muyang served his mother a simple meal and asked her to continue sleeping. Carrying the kettle and Liang Liang, he went to his second brother Li Mu's house again.

He left earlier than yesterday. When he arrived at Li Mudi's house, the door was not even opened, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, someone dragged their shoes over and opened the door. It was the second sister-in-law Zhao Yali.

Zhao Yali's figure is slightly similar to Milan Lan, but she is shorter than Milan Lan, probably only 1.5 meters and a half.

Unlike Milan Lan, who always wears a sign of keeping away from strangers, Zhao Yali is the kind of person who is very friendly at first glance.

She was very surprised to see Li Muyang, "Muyang, why are you here so early in the morning...Ah, but something happened to our mother?"

Zhao Yali's expression became tense, she took two steps forward and opened the door completely.

"No, no, mother is fine. I have trouble with my second sister-in-law." Li Muyang explained hurriedly.

"Oh, it's okay, Mom, it's okay, it's okay," Zhao Yali's expression relaxed, she looked Li Muyang up and down, her eyes fell on his backpack, and she smiled: "What are you doing, looking for your sister-in-law?" What?"

"Who?"

Li Muyang was about to answer when he heard his second brother's voice coming from the room inside. He raised his voice and replied, "Second brother, it's me."

"Oh." Li Mudi didn't say anything more and probably continued to sleep.

"Second sister-in-law, it's like this. I recently discovered a rare medicinal material called Cordyceps sinensis in Xishan. It's very valuable. It can be sold for hundreds of yuan per pound. I want to dig up some and sell it to my mother for medical treatment. …”

"Is there such a good thing?" Zhao Yali was dubious, "I've been to Xishan, and I've never heard of such a good thing. If it really existed and could be left to you, it would have been dug up by others long ago. .”

"It's not that they don't know Cordyceps yet. I just want to dig a little before everyone knows about it. When the villagers know the news, there will be nothing left to dig up. It is very rare and the quantity is very small."

Zhao Yali nodded, did not continue to ask, and said with a smile: "Then you go and try it. According to my sister-in-law, since that thing is so expensive, it must be difficult to find, right?"

"Hmm, it's hard to find. I can only find one penny (one-tenth of a tael) in a day, or even less. But as long as I find one penny, isn't it equivalent to working on the construction site for two days."

When Li Muyang talked to his second sister-in-law, he didn't hide anything. He just said what he had to say. His second sister-in-law had always helped their family a lot in his previous life and was very kind to him. He would definitely repay her well in this life.

The second sister-in-law was always very gentle when she talked to him. There was a huge world hidden in her short body.

"That's fine, you go ahead... Oh, by the way, why are you here to see my sister-in-law? You haven't told me yet."

"Isn't that thing in Xishan? It will take me a whole day to go there. Mom's side..."

"You want your sister-in-law to help you take care of our mother, right?"

Zhao Yali guessed it before Li Muyang said it.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, "There is no one else at home. If I go out, no one will see my mother. So I thought that if my sister-in-law is free, she would visit my mother every few hours."

Li Muyang said he had thought about it for several hours.

The mother is now lying in bed, does not need to exercise, eats very little, so she does not need to excrete much, and often does not think about going to the toilet for most of the day.

Just don't let her lie in the same position for too long, otherwise her blood will not circulate very much, which may aggravate the paralysis. You can help her turn over every three or four hours and rub her body a little to activate her blood circulation.

Li Muyang had taken care of his mother alone for some years in his previous life, and he had gained experience in taking care of her.

Later, after marrying Lin Xiuli, most of the responsibility for taking care of his mother fell on Lin Xiuli, and he worked hard to make money outside.

Lin Xiuli takes care of her mother-in-law very carefully, just like she takes care of her own mother. Anyone in the village who mentions her can't help but give a thumbs up, saying that she is a daughter-in-law, but she is more filial than her daughter. Yuan Rufeng must have been a good person in her previous life. I'm so lucky to have found such a good wife.

"It's okay, just go ahead. You can find a good way to make money. Your brother and I will definitely support you. Don't worry, my mother has a sister-in-law here. I'm at home."

Li Muyang felt warm in his heart.

He thanked his sister-in-law again, said goodbye to her, turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Momoyama.

He has to race against time.

It was still dark at this time, and the temperature was still a bit low. The cold wind blew on both sides as he started running, but he had no intention of stopping.

"The wind is roaring, the horses are braying, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring~"

On the mountain road, his "hysterical" singing came out.

Joy spreads throughout the mountains, and fills the air with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

　Is it because I didn’t write a villain?Feel like you can't get up to read?
　　I want to be less violent and try to write a heartwarming story. Is there any problem with the direction?
