Chapter 20

Ji's family now only has one long bench, and when Yunlin sits, only Ji Qinglei can sit on it.

Ji Qinglei originally wanted to ask the eldest sister to sit down, but thought that the eldest sister was a woman, and it would be inappropriate to sit down, so he ran to the stove and moved out the small tree stump that he sat on while burning the fire.

"Qinglei, after dinner, go to Uncle Wang's house and ask if there is any axe, borrow it and use it tomorrow." Ji Qingyan told her younger brother while letting her sit on a small tree stump.

Ji Qinghe was only four years old, and was standing at the table carrying a wooden bowl and happily eating a piece of noodle cake. The older sister asked her to sit on the small stump, and Ji Qinghua also picked up some vegetables and went to sit with the younger sister up.

"Sister, what do you want an ax for?" Ji Qinglei originally wanted to talk about the tree stump, but when he saw this, he turned his attention to the axe.Yunlin also took a look at Ji Qingyan, a little strange but didn't speak.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the mountain and need an axe. I will come back after chopping some wood." Ji Qingyan replied nonchalantly.

"Pfft. Cough cough..." Yun Lin suddenly turned his head, sprayed a mouthful of fish soup behind him, and then coughed non-stop.

"Brother Yunlin, are you okay?" Ji Qinglei, who was sitting beside him, immediately patted him on the back, expressing his understanding, "Fortunately, I didn't drink the soup just now, otherwise I would have coughed."

"..." Ji Qingyan stood by the table with her rice bowl in her hand and looked at the two people strangely, wondering what they meant.

"Yan'er, don't worry, I'll plow all the land for you tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'll go up the mountain and chop some logs. Are you going to make a bench? Although I'm not good at this craft, I can still make it by myself. .”

Yunlin finally felt better after coughing, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and then turned his head to speak.He hadn't forgotten that morning on the mountain....

The girl was lucky enough to pick up a large bundle of firewood and go home. At that time, he wondered why she didn't have an axe. Now that he thinks about it, he is also stupid.Even if she is small enough to swing an axe, how can she chop a tree?

"Yes, yes, I will help the day after tomorrow." Ji Qinglei immediately chimed in.Let the eldest sister go up the mountain with an ax alone, it is scary to think about it.

Although the eldest sister took them up and down the mountain these days, it was still such a rough job for the eldest sister to go up the mountain alone, and he had no possibility of rest assured at all.

"..." Ji Qingyan was suddenly embarrassed, and secretly hated that she didn't have an axe, otherwise the matter would have been over long ago, why bother?But someone volunteered to be a coolie, and she didn't want to be too hypocritical, so she nodded.

"I really need a stool at home, and I also want a round stick made of mahogany, which is as long as it is." Ji Qingyan gestured as she spoke, about half a meter long, or about two feet in terms of this era.

"Why do you want mahogany to make sticks?" Yun Lin was stunned, and the others were even more curious.

"Wooden sticks are easy to carry and can be used in many places. You will know in the future. As for using mahogany... because I like it." Like it is the reason.

"Although flowers are blooming at this time, you can always find suitable ones on the mountain. Spring is full of vitality, so be careful to cut it out, and it won't kill the tree." And different from autumn, the wood at this time will also be flexible Some.

In fact, what she wants is three feet three, but it is inconvenient to wear it so long on the body, and now there is no way to draw amulets or make offerings, and she can't add more functions, so she can only get some simple equipment for self-defense first.

It is not necessary to live in the village now, but if she wants to go deep into the mountains to find business opportunities, she must have a weapon at hand.

It's just that these words can't be said.

Fortunately, both Yunlin and Ji Qinglei were boys, so they agreed without thinking too much, and the little sisters had nothing to think about, the pancakes tonight were so delicious, they wanted to eat pancakes even more since they were used to fish.

At this moment, someone ran over from outside the fence gate, shouting: "Second brother! You are quiet, didn't you hear that the roof of the farm is about to fall off?"

Yun Yang pushed open the fence door and walked in. As he spoke, his eyes lit up when he saw the food on the table, and asked, "Yan'er, this fish is delicious, can I have a taste?"

"Qing Hua, go get the bowls and chopsticks! Qing Lei, give up your seat!" Ji Qingyan laughed, and guessed that Yun Yang must have been used as a punching bag when he returned home, either by being kicked out or by himself.

Stepmother, it's the same if the elder brother is not venting his anger on the younger brother.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Yun Yang smiled when he heard that, reached out and grabbed a small fish wrapped in flour and fried, and ate it. He nodded while eating, "It's delicious! So small fish can eat like this!"

As soon as Ji Qinglei heard it, he immediately explained to the side, and praised his eldest sister's craftsmanship along the way.

"Is it really that delicious?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the fence next door, and Uncle Wang leaned on the fence post and looked over greedily.

"My family just ate it, so why did I get hungry." However, Wang Zhengshi also came over and cursed with a smile.

If in the past, they had the heart and guts to talk like this, even if they were the ones who helped the most, after all Ji Yuan's family had just been buried not long ago, and the residual prestige was still there, and they were still apprehensive.

But at noon today, Ji Qingyan found out the reason why Ji Zhou's family almost died, and testified for her mother. The news was enough to run ten or eight laps in the village in one afternoon.

That's why Yun Wang was so arrogant and fearless in Ji's field.Since the ghost has not returned, what is there to be afraid of?

Not to mention that Mrs. Yun Wang went home crying and making a fuss after taking the shady trick. The Wang family closest to the Ji family here is only separated by a fence and courtyard wall. Hearing the movement and smelling the fragrance, they chatted curiously.

"Third Uncle and Third Aunt, try it." Ji Qingyan immediately picked up the half-eaten bowl on the table and sent it to the fence.

"I put a little salt and soy sauce in the flour, and made it into batter to coat the small fish and then fry it in hot oil. The flour is crispy, and the small fish is still very tender. It tastes crispy, tender, and very refreshing."

"Isn't it? You have to eat such a small fish when you drink. If you boil it in a pot of water, there will be no oil and chewiness, so it will just be a nest." Uncle Wang was not pretentious, he reached out and took a bite.

Ever since Ji Qinglei came to deliver the fish, everyone understood that the children were thanking everyone for their daily care, so they all wanted to be more casual, so that they could get along more comfortably.

"Then third uncle takes this half bowl back to the bar. Don't think it's too little. When I catch more fish tomorrow, third aunt can try frying it like this." Ji Qingyan smiled and handed over the bowl.

"Then, what's the point of that, do you have enough food?" Uncle Wang said politely, but he didn't refuse. He saw that there were several big bowls of fish on Ji's table, but he still called his mother-in-law.

"Hurry up and put a bowl of spicy radish at home, and serve them with dinner."

"Okay." Wang Zhengshi was not stingy, and immediately snatched the fish bowl from Wang Sanshu's hand, went into the house to change the bowl, and filled a bowl full of spicy radish sticks from the jar with Ji's empty bowl.
