Chapter 48
After returning from hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, she went to find Uncle Li who was having a tea break in the courtyard, and mentioned the short mountain next to her.

"Uncle Li, is it true that you can't grow things on that mountain?"

"What does Ah Zhu want to plant?"

"Planting fruit trees, planting many, many kinds of fruit trees. Fruits in the capital are very expensive to sell, and there are not many in Zhuangzi. If there is a mountain dedicated to planting fruit trees, if you can't finish them, you can sell them for money. ah."

"Well, it's very good." Uncle Li was a little moved when he heard it, thinking it was really a good idea.

"We can also raise chickens in the woods. Chickens always run on the hills, and they will be as delicious as pheasants." Zhuhua said with longing.

Uncle Li chuckled, thinking that she was just a child after all, but it would be nice to raise chickens in the woods.He remembered that Mrs. Sun's family had raised a lot, and Mrs. Sun might know more about this than him. When Azhu and the others go back, why don't he go to the capital with him and talk to Mrs. Sun about it?

With a good idea in mind, Uncle Li hummed a ditty while drinking tea. Aunt Li, who was picking up the prey in the kitchen, couldn't help laughing when she heard it, and she didn't know what he was happy about.In the past, only they and Xiaoya lived in this Zhuangzi, so it was really calm, Xiaoya didn't like to talk, and always worked in silence.Jinhua didn't talk much, but she would say a few words in a timely manner. Compared with Zhuhua, she was much more lively. After only a day or two, the children in the whole village loved to play with her.

Zhuhua didn't know that she was so popular, but from the opened courtyard door, she could see several waves of children pretending to pass by to take a look inside, but they were too embarrassed to speak.Zhuhua pretended not to find anything, and talked about her favorite fruit and meat.After a while, Jinhua came out with the tied sheep, because Zhuhua said that the mutton would be delicious roasted, so Uncle Li went to buy two live sheep early in the morning to raise, and the half of the family only had Jinhua enough to eat .It turned out that he wanted to ask the butcher in the village to help him kill it, but when Jin Hua saw it, she said that she would use the knife herself, and even took out a steel knife from her carry-on luggage.

Zhuhua was taken aback, she didn't expect that there were so many murder weapons in the elder sister's luggage, and where did she get these things, and she had never seen her on the street.It's true that Jinhua doesn't go to the street, but she often asks her subordinate Chunyang to go to the street to help buy snacks.On her birthday last year, she asked Chunyang to help her buy a pig-killing knife. It was to fulfill her wish for many years. She brought these to Zhuangzi to play with. She never expected that she would actually use the knife. Opportunity.

Seeing Jinhua holding her eyes and shining her eyes, Zhuhua felt her temples throbbing.Forget it, she, an authentic little girl, should avoid this bloody scene and look through the dowry.

Jin Hua was quite satisfied with her first slaughtering of the sheep, although the bloodletting cut was overdone due to excessive force, but overall it went smoothly, and she peeled off the sheep's skin completely.Just as she was about to ask Zhuhua if she wanted to, she turned her head but she didn't see Zhuhua's shadow. There was no one to witness such an important moment, Jinhua felt a little lonely.But this loneliness was quickly dispelled by a series of mutton-related dishes in her mind: roast mutton, steamed mutton, stewed mutton, mutton soup... Just thinking of these, she can eat half a pot of rice tonight.

Aunt Li cut off the meat for barbecue and marinated it, and kept the rest for cooking.When Jinhua and Zhuhua came, Mrs. Sun asked Jinhua to bring the board and lodging expenses to Aunt Li. Aunt Li refused to accept it at first, but Jinhua insisted repeatedly. , I can only prepare more carefully for the meals, so as not to let the two sisters suffer.

In the evening, Uncle Li called a few friends over for a drink, and Zhuhua shared some of the roasted mutton with the children outside the door.Even if it was Chinese New Year, not every family would let go of eating meat, especially mutton. Some children couldn't get used to the smell of mutton, but they swallowed the meat anyway, and stared at Zhuhua wanting to share more.And the children who ate barbecue yesterday brought their younger brothers and sisters with them, thinking that they would also taste the delicious meat.

No matter how greedy their mouths are, the children still have a sense of propriety, they dare not go forward to beg for it, they just keep staring at Zhuhua with longing eyes.Zhuhua is soft-hearted, especially likes sensible children, she can't wait to hold them in her arms and kiss them sweetly, but unfortunately she is also a child herself, and she is already seven years old. .

The relaxed days always passed very quickly. After the Lantern Festival, the carriage that came to pick them up arrived.Jinhua and Zhuhua packed up and got into the carriage reluctantly.The village came to see them off, mainly because there were quite a lot of children who came to send Zhuhua, more than when they left Lijia Village.Zhuhua thought about it carefully. She really didn't have any good peers in Lijia Village. There were many people who gave her things, but not many people really talked to her. She didn't like to talk to children. Play, after all, she is not a real child.

In fact, she didn't play much with the children around the Zhuangzi, it was Xiaohua who played with them more, but they seemed to like her a lot, even if they didn't give her anything, Zhuhua could feel it.Probably the character accumulated by the barbecue for her, she thought to herself.

Perhaps after the Lantern Festival, there were more people on Daqingfu Street than when they arrived in the first month, and many shops were open.When the carriage was about to leave the city, Uncle Li bought a dozen freshly baked hot buns for the two sisters.There are no restaurants on the road after leaving the city, so they can only cope with their lunch like this. The steamed buns are at least a little warm, and there is meat. In Uncle Li's opinion, this is more comfortable than eating those dim sum.Zhuhua was full after eating one, Chunshui and Qiuyun each divided two, and Jinhua ate the rest.Even so, she didn't feel full, and when the carriage arrived in the capital in the afternoon, she lifted the curtain to see if there was anything to eat outside.

"Why don't we go shopping and eat on the street, since we've already entered the city anyway, we can always arrive home by dinner time." Zhuhua suggested, since she doesn't have many opportunities to go out as a child, and even fewer opportunities to go shopping.

Jinhua was persuaded by her, so she didn't go out to shop very often, but she often heard Chunyang, who bought her food, say that there are many delicious things in the capital.She was afraid that Mrs. Sun would blame her if she found out, so she wouldn't come back when she got to the door of the house, and would waste money eating out.

"Just say that I have something I want to buy, and I want to go shopping on the street for a while, let Uncle Li and the others go back first." Zhuhua continued to encourage, and even helped to think of an excuse.

Jin Hua nodded and agreed, and explained to Uncle Li a few times. Uncle Li saw that there were quite a few young ladies in bright clothes who came out to play in the street, so he agreed after a few instructions.

When they arrived at the busy street, the four of them got out of the carriage with Xiao Hua, and Zhu Hua glanced around, then pointed to the sesame seed shop nearby and said, "Sister, let's eat this first, let's eat it every family..."

"Row."
