The peasant lady of the pastoral space

Chapter 5

Mother Li, Aunt Zhang and the others looked along their line of sight and saw the person, and the expressions on their faces immediately relaxed.

Soon, when Father Li and the others were less than ten meters away from Li Xianger and the others, Li Xiang'e clearly saw that what Father Li Zhang Bo and the others were carrying was actually a wild boar.

Visually, it weighed more than 200 kilograms! !
Mother Li and Aunt Zhang looked at the big wild boar lying on the ground, and then at Father Li and Uncle Li who were panting to one side, their faces were filled with surprise.

Even He who was beside Aunt Zhang couldn't help but look up, with a smile flashing across his face.

Aunt Zhang looked at the wild boar and walked around it, smiling from ear to ear and muttering non-stop.

"Oh, at least this wild boar weighs more than 200 catties, how much money is that worth!"

Uncle Zhang laughed after hearing this, patted Father Li on the shoulder, and explained.

"Thanks to Lao Li, if Lao Li hadn't reacted quickly today, this wild boar would have let it run away."

After hearing this, Li's mother looked at Li's father worriedly, worried that Li's father was injured.

Father Li noticed Mother Li's gaze, saw the concern in her eyes, smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief, and when she turned her head, she saw the clear and narrow smile on her daughter Xiang'e's face, and she blushed immediately.

"Old Li, take this wild boar fresh, I think we should go all out to get this wild boar to a restaurant in the city and sell it, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Father Li listened and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this idea."

"Okay, it's settled, let's do it like this, Dadong, you take the copper plate and go to the next village Sunjiatun to rent the bullock cart from your grandfather Liu's house, and wait for us under the old locust tree at the fork in the road. You, Uncle Li, and I took a breather and carried the wild boar over there, and when the time comes, we meet up and go to the city right away."

Zhang Bo did what he said and made arrangements.

Hearing this, Zhang Dadong immediately put the 2-year-old son who was teasing in his arms back into He's hands, turned around and walked towards Sunjiatun.

After Li's father and the others left, Li Xiang'e and Li's mother returned home.

As soon as she entered the house, Li Xiang'e's legs were hugged by a pair of soft little hands.

"Mother."

The soft and creepy child's voice hit the ears, as if it was going to melt people's hearts.

Putting down the basket, Li Xiang'e picked up Li Ling'er and kissed her lightly on her smiling face, as if she could smell the faint scent of milk, she laughed.

"Linger is so good!"

Li Hao's expectant look came into view, Li Xiang'e pursed her lips and patted his head.

"Hao'er is also very sensible!"

Xiaodouding suddenly laughed.

Seeing that Mother Li was about to pick up the basket, Li Xiange remembered that the walnuts and hares in the space hadn't been taken out yet, so she quickly put Ling'er into Mother Li's arms for her to hold, while she picked up the basket and prepared to hide in it. Shabby kitchen.

"Mother, I have gained a little today, I'll go in and sort it out first."

After speaking, it flashed.

Mother Li smiled and shook her head.

This child, since he woke up from a coma, has become more and more eager to do things.

After a cup of tea, Mother Li walked into the kitchen alone.

As far as the eye can see, there is a mountain rabbit in the corner of the kitchen, and there are a few lumps of iron beside it. The pot is full of wild vegetables, and the basket is almost full. The shell is very hard. Round, gray things that can't be named.

"Mother, look, my daughter has a good harvest today!"

Li Xiang'e looked at Li's mother and said proudly.

Mother Li couldn't help being happy seeing her daughter gain so much.

She picked up one of the iron lumps and looked left and right, feeling a little puzzled.

"Xiang'e, what is this iron bump? It's quite heavy to hold. Why do you see that there are words on it, and it looks like there are few strokes?"

Although Li's mother could barely read a few characters, she had read it anyway, and she still felt something was wrong when she saw the simplified Chinese characters on the can.

It looks like a word but doesn't look like it.

"My daughter doesn't know either, maybe it's written in other places."

Li Xiang'e smiled awkwardly, pretending to be serious and continuing to fool around.

She murmured silently in her heart, comparing the simplified Chinese characters with the traditional traditional characters used in ancient times, of course they lack strokes and strokes!
Li's mother's attention was completely drawn aside by the strange shape of the canned eight-treasure porridge, and she didn't realize that the broken basket that Li Xiang'e brought up couldn't fit all of these things in the kitchen.

Get away with it, yay!
Li Xiang'e made a gesture in her heart.

"Xiang'e, where did you get this thing?"

Mother Li was still puzzled.

Li Xiang'e took the can, opened it in front of Mother Li, showed it to Mother Li, and handed her the spoon.

"No, mother, this can was picked up by my daughter in the back mountain, and I accidentally found that it contained food, it seemed to be eight-treasure porridge, you try it? My daughter tried it before, it can be eaten, and it is not poisonous."

When Mother Li heard that it was for food, her eyes lit up, and she took it without hesitation, and took a small mouthful of it with a small spoon and put it in her mouth.

"Yeah, Xiang'e, it's really edible, it's indeed eight-treasure porridge. Well, it tastes really good, it's so good, it's been a long time since our family has eaten such fine grains."

Mother Li took a sip and put the eight-treasure porridge back reluctantly.

"This thing waits for your father to come back, and our family will share it!"

Li Xiang'e looked at Li's mother and felt a little sad.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people. At this moment, she deeply understands it.

"Okay, mother!"

Li's mother looked at the sky, "Xiang'e, it's getting late, let's go and pack out the lunch first, and we'll eat first when the meal is ready, your father may be delayed for a long time, we won't wait for your father, let's save some for him Eat."

Li Xiang'e smiled and nodded.

"Mom, let me help you."

"Alright", after finishing speaking, Mother Li glanced at the basket and patted her forehead.

"Almost forgot, Xiang'e, is the food in this basket edible?"

Looking at Li's mother's expectant eyes, before Li Xiang'e could answer, she turned her head and saw her younger brother Hao'er who came in suddenly picked up a hickory nut from the basket and bit it down.

Li Xiang'e hastily stopped.

"Hao'er, shut up."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Xiang'e only heard a click, and the corners of her eyes twitched.

Immediately after seeing Hao'er covering her mouth, her face was distorted, and she looked at Li Xiang'e pitifully.

"elder sister?"

Li Xiang'e was very helpless at the moment, seeing the pecan in the younger brother's hand crack a little, and then explained.

"Mother, Haoer, this is a hickory nut. It is indeed edible, and its nutritional value is quite high. However, its shell is very hard and needs to be broken with a hard object. If you bite it with your teeth, cough cough, the teeth will probably be easy to eat." collapse."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang'e glanced at Li Hao pointingly, making him blush.

Mother Li and younger brother suddenly realized.

Oh, so it is!

I don’t understand the rich nutritional value, but I understand that walnuts can be eaten!
This is a good thing, one more food and one more chance of survival.

Li Xiang'e cracked the walnuts, broke them apart, peeled off the walnut kernels inside, fed them to Li's mother and Li Hao respectively, and threw the rest into her mouth.

Well, it is indeed the taste of walnuts, slightly bitter, and slightly sweet after chewing.

Half an hour later, stewed rabbits, pancakes made of walnuts and wild vegetables, all these foods were neatly arranged on the table, and Linger and Xiaohao were salivating.

The eight-treasure porridge was not brought up, and the whole family wanted to save it until Father Li came back to eat.

The family happily ate, and nearly two hours later, Father Li returned home with a smile on his face.
