The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 38

"The crispy rice is so hard, you have to soak it in the future." Wan Xiaoliu frowned, scooped up a ladle of water into the basin, put Wan Mofei's uninjured hand into the water to wash, and wiped the injured hand with a towel. wiped.

"Can we have soup and rice for lunch?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"Okay." Wan Mofei waited for Wan Xiaoliu to light the fire, then sat down to add more firewood.

Simple meals.The two ate with gusto.Wan Xiaoliu's always has a lot of soup and vegetables, and Wan Mofei's always has a lot of rice.Of course, this is Wan Xiaoliu's meal every time.Wan Mofei watched and ate silently.

"I'll rake firewood later, how about you?" Wan Xiaoliu asked Wan Mofei while washing the dishes.

"Let's go together." Wan Mofei was meditating again.

"Alright then." Wan Xiaoliu was happy.

Go out together, go up the mountain together.Yesterday's ashes were almost burned, and there was no fire.Let it go.

Wan Xiaoliu was raking firewood with a handkerchief, and Wan Mofei went around.Wan Xiaoliu was almost finished. Wan Mofei just came back and tied a bunch of pheasants and hares with rattan.

Startled, Wan Xiaoliu walked up to him and counted the prey he had put on the ground, four pheasants and three hares.

"Did you go to do this just now?" Wan Xiaoliu asked him.

"Yeah." Wan Mofei removed Wan Xiaoliu's short haired pine needles.

"Didn't I say you don't do these things now! You're not fully recovered yet, and saving me yesterday was exhausting." Wan Xiaoliu complained.

"It's okay. I meditated overnight and basically recovered. My previous injury is almost healed, so I'm okay." Wan Mofei said to Wan Xiaoliu with the corners of his mouth hooked.

"It's up to you. Anyway, you're not feeling well. It's you who suffers. You can figure it out." Wan Xiaoliu ignored him, cut off the vines, and chopped off the big pine branches, and put the pine branches on the vines. Then put the pine needles on top of each other.It is almost a cuboid pile of firewood, and then put the pine needles on it, reach for the rattan, put the rattan at both ends into the hand, and tighten it tightly.Pine needles are not like firewood, they are easier to disperse, so Wan Xiaoliu bundled them in two.Very firm.Went to trap another bundle, Wan Mofei helped.

The two of them were busy for a while, and it was basically done, and it was almost dusk.Wan Mofei picks up the pine needles and puts the prey on what looks like a pine needle, and Wan Xiaoliu follows behind with a rake on his shoulder.

Wan Mofei is getting better and better, and carrying the burden is getting more and more like that.

Wan Xiaoliu followed behind, looked at the man in front, and looked at the sky. If he didn't want to go back to the 21st century, this man would indeed be a good partner for a lifetime.

"Brother Mo Fei." As soon as he left the mountain pass, he saw Wan Xiaojiu squatting there.Seeing Wan Mofei approaching, he stood up happily.

"What are you doing here?" Wan Xiaoliu asked later.

"Sixth Sister, my mother told me to call you to catch the chicks. I don't know where you have gone, but I am waiting for you here." Seeing the prey on Wan Mofei's burden, Wan Xiaojiu exclaimed happily: "Wow, That's a lot. Brother Mofei, you're really amazing." Wan Xiaojiu's excited joy infected Wan Mofei.

"Let's go." Wan Xiaoliu urged from behind, Wan Mofei was carrying such a heavy load, and standing for a while longer would make him tired.

Wan Xiaojiu was bouncing ahead, and Wan Mofei followed with a load on his shoulders.

"Sixth Sister, what shall we cook for dinner?" Wan Xiaojiu only thought about what could go into his stomach.

"What do you want to eat?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"I want to eat." Wan Xiaojiu was also very distressed.

"Okay, let's go to your house together later, and send a pheasant and a hare to your house by the way."

"Wow! Sixth sister, I like you so much." Wan Xiaojiu was crazy with joy.

"If you don't like it, just don't bother me. How was the handwriting he taught you that day?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"I practice writing on the ground every day."

"Okay, wait two days before going to my house and writing." Wan Xiaoliu said.

"Okay." Wan Xiaojiu likes to write now.

As soon as he got home, Wan Xiaojiu asked Wan Mofei to put down the burden and began to choose the pheasant and hare he wanted.

"Sixth sister, can these two work?" Wan Xiaojiu asked Xiao Liu holding the prey without any blood.

"Okay, I'll take a frame and leave." Wan Xiaoliu went into the house to find something.

"You rest, don't cook, I'll be back later." Wan Xiaoliu said to Wan Mofei before going out.Before Wan Mofei could answer, he left with Wan Xiaojiu.

Wan Xiaoliu went to the aunt's house, and the aunt was catching chicks in the chicken pen. The chicks ran around, and the hens kept clucking beside them.

"Ma'am." Wan Xiaoliu returned to his submissive manner.

"Hey, Xiaoliu is here? I asked Xiaojiu to call you to catch the chick and bring it home. The chick is caught now, so it can be raised." The aunt said in the chicken pen: "You bring the frame, and I will catch it for you .”

"Okay, thank you aunt." Wan Xiaoliu handed the frame to auntie.

"Mother, Brother Murphy shot another pheasant and hare. Sixth sister brought two for our family. Look, they are so big. Hurry up and let's eat them at night." Wan Xiaojiu was always in a state of excitement.

"Xiao Liu, you keep it for yourself, you are so thin and growing, you really need to make up for it." The aunt said while grabbing the chick.

"Mother, Sixth Sister's family still has a lot of them. Brother Murphy caught a lot today." Wan Xiaojiu was afraid that Mother would not want pheasants and hares, so she quickly took them home.

"Yes, ma'am, there's still more at home. There's more to eat."

"You child, well, how many chickens do you want?" asked the aunt.

"One pair is enough." Wan Xiaoliu looked at the chick caught by the aunt in the basket, it was so cute, the hen crowed outside, and the chick crowed inside, so maternal love, Wan Xiaoliu suddenly felt cruel, so To separate them mother and child.

"A total of 11 roosters have been produced. Let me give you four. My family will keep 7 roosters. I will kill the young roosters for your uncle to eat." The aunt picked up the big ones and put them in Wan Xiaoliu's box.

"Thank you ma'am, I don't need so much. A pair, one male and one female, can lay eggs and hatch chicks next year. It will be great." Wan Xiaoliu is most afraid of human feelings.

"It's so small, I can't see the male and female, so I caught four and listened to the aunt. I'll give you the big one, so it's easier to raise, and let the old hen take the small one." The aunt put the four chickens in the frame Pass it to Wan Xiaoliu, and get out of the chicken coop by himself.

"Then thank you, ma'am." Wan Xiaoliu couldn't help being happy.Little life.

"You child, why are your family members always so polite?" The aunt went to wash her hands in the water tank and said to Wan Xiaoliu, "There are steamed buns in the pot, wait a minute, I'll bring you some to eat." After I finished, I entered the house, and after a while, I wrapped a lot of steamed buns in a cloth bag and took them out.

"Auntie, this is too much. If you don't want this much, you can't finish it." The aunt stuffed the cloth bag into Wan Xiaoliu's arms, and Wan Xiaoliu pushed it into the aunt's hand.
