The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 23

There are all kinds of forests on the mountain, pine trees, tea trees, cypress trees... everything, Li Caiwei looked around carefully, but found nothing delicious.

Seeing her concentration, Aunt Nian said, "Girl, it's not here yet. After passing this hillside, there are bamboo forests over there, and there are many wild shoots in the bamboo forest." Aunt Nian saw that Li Caiwei was a smart girl. What a blessed person to marry such a considerate and caring husband.

"Aunt Nian, I want to borrow some rice from your family, and I will return it to you when the rice is harvested."

"Yes, just tell me what you need. Jiacheng's daughter-in-law, you don't even know how poor Liu Jiacheng was before you came. There were ups and downs, and a single man had a hard time."

"His mother won't bring him food?"

"Didn't I tell you? Mrs. Yu wanted to force her son to go home and marry a wife."

"Hey..." Aunt Nian talked, "Although Jiacheng is a bit stupid, he is still very good at heart. The old man and I are both old, and the sons have separated. They live their own lives without being around. This kid Cheng often comes to help me carry things, and he helps carry the water."

"This is what Jiacheng should do."

"The family becomes a daughter-in-law, you don't know that, now everyone is wishing that we both die early."

"Aunt Nian, how could it be?"

"My sons all married their wives and forgot their mother's things. Two of them went to the county seat. The third child didn't go to the county seat, but he was doing business all the year round. How could he have time to take care of me and the old man. The old man's house is a Landlord, the family still has some assets, otherwise those little bastards would not come back for the New Year holidays."

Li Caiwei listened carefully to Aunt Nian's nagging.

"It's better that Jiacheng is an honest kid, but he's a little pitiful. You say how a man can do without a woman in his family. His clothes are all in tatters when he goes out, and he eats casually."

Hearing this, Li Caiwei was a little sad.

"Look, I told you so much again." Then, when I arrived at Aunt Nian's vegetable field, Aunt Nian pointed to the place where you can find bamboo shoots, "I'm a daughter-in-law, come here to get rice at night, I'll help you Installed."

"Thank you, Aunt Nian."

Li Caiwei went to another hill alone, and looked for bamboo shoots at the place pointed by Aunt Nian. Aunt Nian was right, and a lot of wild bamboo shoots appeared on the ground.So many wild bamboo shoots are really wasted.Li Caiwei thought to herself, how about pulling more and selling them in the market, so that I can earn some money!
When it was almost five o'clock, the bamboo shoots in her basket were full, and there was still a pile on the ground.What can I do?It was getting late, and she had to speed up her pace. It was very dangerous to stay on the mountain at night.

She thought of a way, went to the mountain to break a lot of rattan, and trapped the bamboo shoots on the ground together, so that she could carry the bamboo shoots on her back with the basket in her hand.

However, it is too heavy!

Li Caiwei saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, what should I do?
When I was in trouble, I didn't want Liu Jiacheng to come.

From afar, Li Caiwei waved to him, "Jiacheng, I'm here."

Li Caiwei was very happy to see Liu Jiacheng approaching.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Aunt Nian asked me to come."

"Oh." Li Caiwei was a little disappointed. "Didn't you want it?"

Liu Jiacheng nodded.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, I have to help you cook."

Liu Jiacheng carried the bamboo shoots on his back and held a basket in his hand. Li Caiwei walked behind him and watched for fear of falling bamboo shoots.

Li Caiwei took the initiative to hold his left hand. Villagers passed by and greeted Li Caiwei.

Now everyone in the village knows that the idiot Liu Jiacheng has married a beautiful and intelligent daughter-in-law. I don't know how many men envy him.

"Jiacheng's daughter-in-law, Liu Jiacheng has been looking for you just now." An old man who collected firewood next to him said, "Jiacheng didn't talk before, but he asked me just now."

Li Caiwei looked up and looked at Liu Jiacheng with an embarrassed face, "Really?"

Liu Jiacheng was embarrassed, "Jiacheng, why are you looking for me?"

Li Caiwei suddenly wanted to tease her husband, and deliberately let go of his hand, "If you don't speak, I will ignore you."

Liu Jiacheng looked up at her embarrassedly, "I, I'm afraid you're in danger."

Li Caiwei couldn't help showing a bright smile, "I'm not in any danger." Although she said so on her mouth, she was very happy in her heart.At least he still worried about himself.

Li Caiwei was thinking about how to solve the problem of food and clothing. Since Mrs. Yu deliberately treated Liu Jiacheng like this, she thought it was only a momentary intention for herself, so there was neither a wedding nor any ceremony.

Liu Jiacheng can't even take care of her own life, and she has to take care of another one. Yu must have expected that Liu Jiacheng would give up, and then Yu would think of a way to sell her... Thinking of this, Li Caiwei was in a cold sweat. Lai is not an easy person to deal with.Liu Jiacheng is another person who doesn't know the world, and he doesn't know what the future will be like.

In the evening, Li Caiwei simply made some porridge with the eggs left over from noon.During the meal, Li Caiwei planned to discuss with her husband and give some wild vegetables to Mrs. Yu, so that Mrs. Yu would know that she is not someone who can do nothing, and that she will live a good life!But I can't make up my own mind, so I have to ask my husband for advice.

"Jiacheng, I want to go to my mother's place tomorrow and give her some wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, so that they can try something new."

Liu Jiacheng lived with his head depressed, and when he heard her say this, he unconsciously speeded up his meal.Li Caiwei knew that he definitely didn't like Mrs. Yu, so she comforted him and said, "I can go there by myself, or if you want to. After all, you are mother's son, you must not forget the kindness of nurturing, otherwise others will call you an ungrateful person .”

Liu Jiacheng nodded.

After dinner, prepare to boil some hot water for a bath. "Jiacheng, where are your clothes?"

Li Caiwei searched the room, and finally saw the clothes beside the bed. The clothes were in the closet, and the door of the closet was unknown. The inside and outside of the closet were moldy, and the clothes were also tattered.Li Caiwei looked at the dilapidated and dilapidated wardrobe, feeling a little sour in her heart.I have to find some time tomorrow to take out the closet and wash it.

She washed the bucket twice. After it was clean, she filled it with hot water and mixed it with a little cold water.

"Jiacheng, the water is ready, go take a shower."

Liu Jiacheng came over and lifted the bucket outside, and Li Caiwei handed him the clothes.

"Jiacheng, where are you going to take a bath?" Liu Jiacheng pointed to the back of the bamboo house, and Li Caiwei looked at it. It was a very high mountain with a steep wall, almost ninety degrees.The bamboo house is on the back of the mountain.But it's pitch black outside, what should she do?
