Arrival of the Wealthy Wife - Chapter 6

“Uncle Xiao, why are you here again?”

What, didn’t go at all, okay?

Li Jing’er fell asleep in her heart, it seemed that there was another adult who fooled the child, and her stupid son was really easy to deceive, with an upright heart that he would believe whatever he said.

I have to teach again! This won’t work, the world is very chaotic, snakes and rats are rampant, and it is easy to be misled by people without a brain. He is only five years old and still has time to learn. After the spring, she will teach him a few chapters of “Thick Black Studies”, and he would rather go to slander others Don’t be fooled either.

Li Jinger, who has received a modern education, does not agree that children learn too early. Children should live like children, enlightened at the age of five, and learn to write at the age of six, instead of being three years old and singing sad pop songs .

Enough is enough, backfire! Has anyone seen the development of these children as adults? Is he as smart and praised as he was when he was a child?

“Aren’t you guys going to the mountains today to collect grain for the winter? I just happen to be free these few days, so I’ll accompany you there. I haven’t seen what mountain peaches look like yet.”

Xiao Jingfeng, who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, patted Shuangming’s head without blushing or panting. Seeing him dodging away in disgust, he grabbed him back with his big hand and deliberately rubbed his head.

Brat, you still dare to flash, if it’s not for your mother’s face, I still don’t want to talk to you.

“Mountain peach is star fruit. It grows so big. My mother said that it is half the size of ordinary star fruit. The flesh must turn yellow to be delicious. It is sweet and sour and juicy. You can also pick the green skin and cook star fruit juice. We have honey , it won’t be sour after adding honey.” He proudly showed off, raising his small face very high, so arrogant.

As soon as honey was mentioned, Xiao Jingfeng’s face changed slightly, as if he could still hear the humming and fluttering of swarms of bees. “Drink less sweets, and be careful not to lose your teeth.”

A five-year-old child is most afraid of losing his teeth. When he hears about tooth loss, he immediately covers his mouth. “Mother said you need to rinse your mouth so that the bugs won’t get into your teeth.”

“Children will lose their teeth. After your first tooth falls out, the other teeth will soon fall out, and there will be no one left.” Toothless children.

“Ah—you’re talking nonsense, so my teeth won’t fall out, mother, mother, I don’t want to have no teeth, I don’t eat sugar, teeth… I want teeth…” Shuang Ming, who was shaking a tooth, really believed it, and was frightened. Weeping and running, ran to his mother.

“The teeth are here! They haven’t fallen out. Uncle Xiao used to love to eat sweets, so all his teeth fell out, but he worked hard to eat, and the teeth grew back.”

You have nothing to do to scare children, how old are you, can you be a little promising! Li Jinger glared angrily, not including big and small characters.

“Mom, I’ll eat.” Shuangming, with tears still on his face, took his hand away from his mouth pitifully.

“Eat everything, you can’t be picky eaters, and you have to eat a lot of vegetables.” The zero-pollution alpine vegetables are more crispy. Irrigated with spring water, they look juicy. After eating, the children never got sick again , not even a little cough.

“Eat vegetables?! Vegetables are terrible…” He looked shocked, as if asking him to eat vegetables was to swallow earthworms raw, and he would get stuck in his throat. Children generally like to eat meat, but in Li Jinger’s house, it is boys who love meat. Li Jinger and his two daughters prefer vegetables, and they can eat up a whole dish.

“It’s delicious, Guo Guo.” She loves vegetables.

Sister Yue, who was wearing autumn clothes and little cotton clothes, giggled and said, like her mother, she touched her brother’s ears and patted his back, which means I will share the food with you.

“It’s elder brother, why can’t Ling Yue’er always teach me, you can’t rub my ears, you are my younger sister…” He pretended to be angry and wanted to poke his younger sister’s forehead, but in fact he was just playing around with her.

Before Shuangming’s hand touched his sister, a big hand several times bigger than his was stretched out beside him to block his hand, with a restraining tone.

“My sister is still young, so I can’t bully my sister.” Seeing his daughter who looked somewhat similar to him, Xiao Jingfeng unconsciously defended his shortcomings.

“I didn’t bully my sister, you bullied others.” Shuang Ming pouted dissatisfiedly, the five-year-old already knew that the uncle in front of him had a grudge against him.

“Still quibbling, obviously…”

“Xiao Jingfeng.” Cold voices together.

“Ms. Jing?”

“Come here.” It seems that he is the one who needs to be re-educated.

Seeing her cold eyes and raised eyebrows, his scalp was a little numb. “What’s up?”

Li Jinger forcefully pulled him to the side of the vegetable field, and pinched his fleshy armpit with two fingers. “Treat them equally, or don’t show up again. Don’t think that children don’t understand anything when they are young. You can’t imagine children’s sensitivity. I have raised them and I have to be responsible for them. Don’t be a mouse **** that spoils a pot of porridge. “

“He poked my daughter…” How can a father ignore it?

“It’s common for children to fight and fight. Did you ever fight with anyone when you were a child?” The boy was naughty, rolling over the mud and pulling twice.

“No.” He has been working in the fields as long as he can remember. He has been busy from morning to night, so he has no time to make trouble, but the elder brother and the third younger brother often get into a ball with others.

When she heard this, she was stunned. Which planet did this come from, Apania? pacifist. “Sure enough, it’s not warm.”

“What?” He didn’t hear clearly.

“I said you are so pitiful. You haven’t even fought. How did you grow up? You grew up with a stick?” That’s why you have such a soft temper, and you can let others tell you.

Xiao Jingfeng blushed suddenly, “Is it wrong for me not to cause trouble?”

“Big mistake, not like a child at all.” The child is unreasonable and unreasonable.

“You…” What a lie, don’t teach his daughter badly.

“Come here.” He ticked off.

Come again, does she treat him as an animal?

After the drill, Xiao Jingfeng did not return to the Sanhe guard with the team. He lived directly in Li Jinger’s house in the village. With a bucket of water, I went to bed after a little washing.

He can’t sleep for three hours a day, but every day when he goes out, he looks radiant, like a young man who meets a little girl privately, and even drinking water is sweet just to meet him.

“Don’t pinch me.” She became more and more like a housewife, with no sense of measure. He was in pain, but he was happy in his heart, which meant that she didn’t regard him as an outsider.

Li Jinger rolled his eyes. “Who’s going to pinch you? I’m asking you to see how the children get along.”

She walked to Shuangming’s side and lightly held his palm.

“Shuangyue, did brother bully you?”

Sister Yue opened her pure eyes wide. “Guokuo plays with me, don’t bully.”

“Does it hurt when he pokes you?” Li Jinger also poked her daughter, she thought it was funny, giggled, grabbed her mother’s hand and poked her again, she thought it was just for fun.

“It doesn’t hurt, play, play with pot, poke again.”

She is addicted to poking fun, she asks someone to poke her whenever she sees, her brothers and sisters all poked her, but she dare not poke her uncle, he looks very fierce, and shyly hides behind his mother to peek.

Seeing his daughter walking in front of him and shrinking back, Xiao Jingfeng, who was first happy and then lost, didn’t know what to do. What should he do to make her come to him?

“Xiao Jingfeng, you have to apologize.” Adults can do wrong things, and he has to establish a correct attitude for children.

“Apologize?” He was surprised.

“Don’t do evil because it is small, and don’t do good because it is small. If you make a mistake, you have to admit it bravely. Even if the other person is not as tall as your thigh, it is a mistake. This is a responsible attitude.” It will vary from person to person, and if there is a change, it will be changed.

“Don’t do evil because it’s small, don’t do good because it’s small…” He repeated it, and suddenly it was like enlightenment. “Shuangming, uncle is wrong, can you forgive me?”

Tilting his head, Shuangming thought for a moment, then patted his hand very generously. “Okay, I forgive you. You can’t do it in the future. My mother said that if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it.”

“Hmm! Your mother is right, she has great wisdom.” Jing Niang was completely different from the docile appearance he remembered, she became outspoken and decisive.

“Yeah! My mother is very smart, no one else can compare to it.” He looked proud and praised his mother for being happier than eating an extra bowl of rice.

“Mother is smart, I can’t compare to it.” Sister Yue clapped her hands.

Shuangzhen kept pulling on Li Jinger’s skirt. Although she called Li Jinger’s mother, she had a little memory of the past and knew that she was not her own mother, so compared with Shuangming and Sister Yue, she seemed not so close to Li Jinger. separated.

“Hehe…don’t hug mother too much, mother will be shy.” The child has only been innocent in the past few years, and if he gets older, he will become a firecracker, causing trouble all day long.

She doesn’t have the concept of raising children to guard against old age. It is fate to be a mother and child. It is enough to have an intersection with someone for a certain period of time. She does not ask for anything in return, as long as they grow up safely, do not break the law and discipline, and can support themselves. Be upright and upright.

“Mother, shame…” Sister Yue stretched out her finger to compare.

Brother corrected, “It’s shy.”

“Wok, hug.” Her feet were sore.

Shuangming was about to reach out to pick up his younger sister, but Xiao Jingfeng, who was one step ahead of him, had already lifted her up, hugging his daughter in his arms, his eyes were inexplicably hot.

“Guokuo…” Seeing that the person was wrong, Sister Yue anxiously looked for someone.

“Uncle Xiao, that’s my sister, please give it back to me.” Shuang Ming stretched out his hand clearly, he wanted to be a polite child.

You want to grab my wife, and you want to grab my daughter, you brat who hasn’t even grown hair yet! “Just hold her for a while, Sister Yue is fragrant and soft…” It was so soft that he didn’t dare to use too much force, for fear of breaking her little arms and fat legs.

“Uncle, I want pot pot.” Sister Yue, who was full of milk, looked at this strange uncle, and slapped his nose with her little hand.

With the sound of “Uncle”, Xiao Jingfeng felt sore in his heart, he is obviously her father, dear father! “Sister Yue, I am you…”

“Xiao Jingfeng.” It’s not the time yet.

When Li Jing’er yelled, Xiao Jingfeng, a man who never shed tears, forcefully forced back the tears that welled up in his eyes. “You won’t let me admit it?”

“Her surname is Li.” It has nothing to do with your Xiao family.

“Originally her surname was Xiao.” He was Xiao Jingfeng’s daughter.

“Ask your mother.” Not every grandmother is determined to break off a relationship.

Hard enough! He was speechless.

“How can I hear her calling me…” Dad.

She pouted and looked at her son, “She has always followed her brother’s example.”

In other words, we still have to settle the headache first.

“Him?” His face turned black, brat, why is there always something about him.

“Okay, it’s getting late, if you don’t go into the mountains early, the ripe fruits will be pecked by the birds.” The dew is still wet, and there is moisture.

Li Jinger is more worried about the rain, the rain comes and the cold comes, the autumn rain comes, the footsteps of winter are approaching, the birds and beasts in the mountains are decreasing day by day, usually at that time she will gradually reduce going out to prepare for the winter, last year she stored a lot There are few dried wild vegetables, so after the heavy snowfall, she can’t go down the mountain to buy food, so she soaks the wild vegetables until soft, chops them into fine powder, and cooks a fragrant wild vegetable porridge.

The winter in the north is very long, lasting more than four months, and wild vegetables will not grow until spring comes after the ice melts, and there are five months without green leaves, so she is very anxious to prepare food, Lest it be too late once the season is over, and some root plants have to wait until the leaves are dry before digging.

“Daughter… Sister Yue, I’ll hug her.” Xiao Jingfeng was reluctant to let go of his daughter, the soft and fragrant smell filled his chest, she was his blood and blood.

“Didn’t you see that she was about to cry?” Li Jing’er carried her daughter over, and put her into the bamboo stalks that were covered with hay and animal skins at the bottom. “Those two belong to you.”

She pointed at Shuangming who was unwilling and Shuangzhen who was aggrieved, and thought to herself: His children are so unpopular, no one wants to get close to him.

“it is good.”

He didn’t object?

Behind Xiao Jingfeng is a very large square basket, two children can fight inside it, he originally intended to lighten Li Jinger’s burden, and after carrying his daughter, he will carry another child, he prefers girls, brats are an eyesore .

But the daughter obviously didn’t know him well. When she saw that it was not her mother or her brother or sister, big tears rolled in her eyes, which made him feel very distressed.

As a last resort, he had to change people. The two older ones belonged to him, so that his wife could walk easily and shuttle through the mountains and forests faster.

“Mom, rabbit.”

A grey-and-white rabbit struggles in a burrowing trap, its hind legs tightly bound by a rope, unable to escape.

“Well! I peeled the fur of the rabbit to make you a scarf.” The most prey she can catch are rabbits and squirrels. Even pheasants are hard to catch, because they are too good at flying.

“Mom, Yueyue wants it too.” Tutu was playful.

“Okay, you and your sister do both, one for each of you, and a pair of ear protectors.” Last year’s pair were all dirty and moldy.

“Thank you, mother.” Shuang Zhen said softly.

“What are you being polite to mother, next year you catch centipedes and earn more money, mother will make silver anklets with bells for you.” The jingling sounds are really nice.

As soon as he heard the centipede, Xiao Jingfeng’s face changed and he coughed, “I’ll buy you a few acres of land, and if you plant rice, you will have a harvest.”

“Do you have silver?” Realistic question.

As soon as the famine years passed, the price of land soared to 12 taels per mu.

“This…” A penny kills a hero, but he has no money.

But he can borrow it.

“Also, I don’t know how to do the work in the field.” She has been to the countryside, but she just observed it. She doesn’t know when to sow seeds, when to transplant rice seedlings, or when to patrol the paddy fields.

Hearing this, he stared at her suspiciously. “Didn’t your natal family have five acres of land? The matchmaker said you were a good farmer at the time.”

Li Jing’er, who didn’t feel guilty at all, said confidently: “The matchmaker can listen to you, and sows can climb trees. When she came to my house to talk about matchmaking, she also said that you are handsome and talented. Wu Shengguan Erye, your parents-in-law are kind, your sister-in-law is friendly, uncle All of them are kind people.”

He blushed more and more as he listened to it, and he covered it with his big hand for fear of seeing people.

Apart from being able to punch and kick and know a few words, nothing the matchmaker said is true. There are so many problems in blind marriage and dumb marriage, and the words of the matchmaker cannot be fully believed.

“There was an orange tree next to the stone on the left. It should be half-ripe. We picked all the oranges and left them for ten days and half a month before they became ripe.” The taste can be spread on the crust.

Walking into the deep mountains for about an hour, the fruit trees that bear fruit in autumn can already see the fruits hanging on the trees. Although there are not many fruits, they still weigh several tens of catties, which is enough for Li Jinger, who has three young children, and the children cannot eat them. How many.

This time they picked not only oranges, but also persimmons, wild plums, mountain peaches, wild pears… There were more than a dozen kinds of them, some were picked here, some were picked there, and soon, the big basket behind Xiao Jingfeng was half full, red ones The yellow fruits are piled together, and the color is very bright.

Li Jinger’s bamboo basket is relatively small, and it contains light mountain products such as mushrooms and wild vegetables. It is also mixed with some rare medicinal materials accidentally discovered, such as Codonopsis pilosula, Gastrodia elata, cicada sharp, Poria cocos, coriander root, ginkgo… It can be said There are silver coins everywhere in the mountains, and they can’t be picked all over.

She spread out the animal skins she had spread on the bottom of the betel, about ten feet square, and she spread the animal skins on a relatively open and flat grassland, sprinkled lime and realgar around, and let her two daughters sit like a picnic. Above, eating freshly picked fruits and playing with half-dead rabbits.

Shuangming, who insisted on helping, also carried a small bamboo betel similar to Li Jinger. There were several chestnut trees and walnut trees near his sisters. Do something without delay.

“There are still plantains?!”

Hearing Li Jinger’s exclamation, Xiao Jingfeng strode over. He saw bunches of plantains, cut them off without a second thought, put them into the basket, and they sank obviously, showing their weight.

Today, they mainly collect wild fruits and miscellaneous grains, dry materials that can be stored for a long time after processing, and there is no shortage of meat. Two days ago, Xiao Jingfeng led a group of soldiers into the mountain for “drilling”, and captured two male deer, three female deer, and two In the family of the big four boars, except one died and was eaten as a roast suckling pig, the other three built a shed next to the stone house and raised them.

The big butchered the small ones, this year is not difficult. Compared with last year, he had to brave the wind and snow to catch snow rabbits and dig out the hibernating squirrels in tree holes. The burden on Li Jinger’s shoulders was lighter, and his mood was also relaxed. A little bit, not as urgent as in previous years.

“Ah, mother, there are snakes…”

Shuangming yelled in horror, and Li Jinger, who was far away, had no time to turn around and kill the snake. When she was hanging on her heart, the nimble Xiao Jingfeng quickly picked up Lin Ming, and stepped on the snake’s head that held its head up and spewed out the snake letter. No hesitation, all in one go.

“Wow! It’s amazing…” Seeing the snake whose head was squashed and its body still curled up on the ground, Frost Moon’s worshiped eyes shone brightly.

“It’s all right! How could there be snakes after I sprinkled the medicine…” Fortunately, I didn’t get bitten, otherwise the child would suffer.

She has been walking in the mountains for many years and is a snake catcher, so Li Jinger spent a lot of money to prepare all kinds of emergency detoxification pills, just in case, so she is not worried about poisoning, and also afraid of mosquito bites, so she sewed insect-proof sachets, She and the child each hang one on their bodies, so that mosquitoes don’t get close.

“Be careful, there are holes on the ground…” Xiao Jingfeng shouted.

Concern is chaotic, the impatient woman didn’t realize that there was a piece hidden in front of her feet, and wanted to quickly go to the child’s side to have a look, one of them stepped into the hole without paying attention, and fell down on the generous man’s chest with a sound of “ah”, like a musk deer The smell penetrates the nostrils.

It’s not like she hasn’t seen men before. In her previous life, she had seen many handsome men, and there were several top-notch firefighters on her team. But she was never moved by them, but blushed inexplicably at this moment.

“I didn’t mean to…” She moved, trying to leave her wide chest that made her feel extremely safe, but there was an extra iron arm on her waist.

“Stay still,” he whispered.

“Xiao Jingfeng…” Her face became more and more red.

He asked in a low voice, “Let me hug you for a while, I haven’t hugged you for a long time.”

“We’re not husband and wife anymore,” she reminded.

Satisfied, Xiao Jingfeng smiled softly. “I will always treat you as my son.”

“There is a child here, let go.” She pushed him.

It was rare for her to be so docile, and he couldn’t bear to let go. “Just a little while.”

“Uncle Xiao, you’ve crushed me.” He must have supported his mother for too long!

Together with the child’s cries of pain, the two distraught adults realized with blushes that there was an extra Shuangming in the middle, and Xiao Jingfeng was still holding him and did not let him go.

It’s husband and wife, but it’s not husband and wife. There is a faint ambiguity between Xiao Jingfeng and Li Jinger. It’s unclear, the way is unclear, and there is a rippling undercurrent.

Although little progress has been made, Xiao Jingfeng has gotten closer to the children. Shuangming still doesn’t like him, but he doesn’t reject his approach. Shuangzhen will shyly call him Uncle Xiao a few times, and then hand him to wash it off. fruit, eagerly watching him eat it.

Maybe there is such a thing as a father-daughter nature. The biggest change is the clingy sister Yue. After getting along for a few days, she doesn’t mind Xiao Jingfeng hugging her up and down, and even actively pesters him, asking him to take her to see the river. Fish in the river, catch sand crabs walking sideways.

The ones who get ahead with an inch refer to people like Xiao Jingfeng. His daughter is willing to get close to him, but he forgets his face when he is happy, and simply doesn’t leave. He built a thatched shed on the open space in front of the stone house to keep out the wind and rain. A lot of hay was spread on the ground as a bed, and people slept on it with their clothes on.

It was very cold at night in the mountains, especially in late autumn, when the temperature difference between day and night was huge. Li Jinger, who couldn’t stand it any longer, threw him a spare quilt, and made him even more reluctant to leave. day.

Maybe it’s because the feeling of having a wife and daughter by his side makes people feel warm, but Xiao Jingfeng thought of quitting, wanting to withdraw from the army that had made great achievements. His previous ambitions were extinguished by his daughter’s soft smile, and he couldn’t think of the battlefield. The cruelty, the blood splatter and the head of the enemy, only her silvery laughter remained.

He wanted to find his wife and daughter back, to truly become a family, with his wife in his arms, and his young daughter in his arms, and go home in the afterglow of the setting sun.

“Why don’t you leave?” The child’s voice sounded a bit leaky.

Shuang Ming lost his first deciduous tooth, and he was so nervous that he dared not sleep in the middle of the night, fearing that he would lose his second, third, fourth, fifth…all teeth fell out.

At dawn, I found that the teeth were still there, so I went back to sleep peacefully.

“Your mother should be asking this question, not you.” He is a big kid, and he wants to be the master of the house before his hair grows. With his small body, he still wants to be an adult.

This stone house is becoming more and more like a home. To the east of the house is a vegetable field, about half an acre in size, with vegetables such as cabbage, cucumber, eggplant, loofah, courgette, and several golden pumpkins. next to the radish.

There is a chicken coop to the west of the stone house. Pheasants with clipped wings can lay five or six eggs a day, and piglets snuggle in the wooden fence, eating rotten Chinese cabbage.

Because Li Jinger inadvertently mentioned that he wanted to drink goat milk, Xiao Jingfeng deliberately went down the mountain and lost a ewe that had just given birth to the village. Tied under a tree with grass.

Seeing that the days are getting more and more hopeful, except for the lack of neighbors and houses, this place is like a small farmyard, with peppers, bacon, and smoked deer legs hanging under the eaves, and fist-sized yams in the dustpan. Chasing and laughing constantly.

Shuang Ming straightened his chest, looking like the head of the family. “I am the only male in our family, and I can speak to you instead of my mother.”

“Wait until you’re as tall as me.” Xiao Jingfeng jokingly pushed his forehead lightly, but he didn’t make much effort, but his small body still took a few steps back.

Annoyed, Shuang Ming tried to look taller with every jump. “I will grow up soon, don’t be too complacent.”

“When you grow up, I will become your old man, but you are still inferior to me.” It is too early to want to be equal to him, and there is no hope in this life.

“What is Lao Tzu?” He couldn’t understand.

Xiao Jingfeng, who was thinking about whether he should catch a few ducks to raise, raised his head and smiled, his smiling face like a big boy was sprinkled with golden light. “It’s your father.”

When he heard it, his face became angry. “I do not want!”

“It’s up to you not to, I’m your father.” Seeing his anger like firecrackers, Xiao Jingfeng suddenly felt that teasing children is an interesting thing.

“My mother won’t want you, you are not as good-looking as me.” My mother said that he is the most beautiful child in the world, no one can compare to him.

“Marrying a wife is not about looks, but ability. I can take care of her, can you?” The brat is not good-looking, but his speech is leaking.

While drying the split firewood, Xiao Jingfeng gently brushed away the non-opponent. “I never said I grew up, did you say I was a child?”

Only children would stress over and over again, wishing they could grow up overnight.

“You…you bully.” Bad guy.

He smiled and split two more pieces of wood. “Go and complain to your mother! You brat who won’t grow up.”

Now Li Jinger’s worry is not that there is not enough firewood for the winter, but that there is no place to put it. She is considering building a firewood house so that she can store more wood.

It’s really different to have a man here. Many things are organized without her doing it. Thinking about the fuss in the past, I really asked for it.

“I’m not a kid, you’re a bad person who bullies children.” Shuangming pointed angrily, his little face shriveled like a squashed lentil.

“You, villain, I, adult.” He naively compared the heights of the two of them, the smaller one is the smaller one, and the taller one is undoubtedly stronger.

People can’t compare, and when they compare, they get frustrated. Shuangming who looked up looked up was very unconvinced, and wanted to win back the victory, but the obvious contrast between the two of them, one big and one small, he had to admit that he was a “little” person , How much food does he have to eat to grow taller?

“Don’t tease the child, he is still young and will take your words seriously.” A fermented sour smell drifted through the words.

“I’ll help you.”

Xiao Jingfeng put down the ax and straightened up, took the urn with heavy hands, there was still rotten water swaying in the urn, and the choking sour smell came to his nostrils.

“Mother…” Shuang Ming yelled with his mouth flattened.

“Hey, go play with my sister.” The boy lost again.

He smiled coquettishly. “I want to help my mother with something.”

“There are not many things to do today. Mother bought a pen and paper. You go to write. Practicing calligraphy can calm people down and improve their self-cultivation. We don’t want to be soldiers, we want to be champions in literature, and overwhelm those who are soldiers.” For example, it is better to use brains than to use force if you are a general at the first level.

What’s the pressure, his father was born as a military master, and if he is allowed to go up a few times, he will be a thousand households that can be hereditary.

The military ranks of this dynasty can be passed on from generation to generation in the garrison. There are many casualties in the battlefield, and the father dies and the son replaces them. Official ranks below the sixth and seventh ranks do not need to be sent to the capital. It is up to the local garrison generals to decide, and the ranks above the fifth rank must be face-to-face. The emperor’s imperial pen commented.

“Okay, I’ll take the number one prize to win my mother’s pride.” He doesn’t know what the number one scholar does, but it must be better than being a soldier. Shuangming grinned at Xiao Jingfeng in protest, completely forgetting the complete defeat just now, thinking about studying more by himself After gaining knowledge, the mother belongs to him alone.

The wind in the afternoon was very pleasant, cool and not cold, the two little loves were sleepy, and the two little heads were together, sleeping soundly.

Tired from playing, I always need to sleep for a while. Children have limited physical strength, and they fall asleep as soon as they are sleepy. They can’t be woken up by beating gongs and drums. It’s just that a large cloud is floating in the sky. It seems that it’s going to rain. Hurry up and finish your life, otherwise you don’t know when it will be delayed.

“Jing Niang, the inside of this urn is smelly, do you want to throw it away?” The smell is really bad, and it’s hard to imagine that the thing thrown out is actually delicious.

“It’s down.” It’s still not enough to feed the pigs, and the pigs don’t eat them.

Xiao Jingfeng poured a urn of acid water into the ravine, and the blown mountain wind blew the acid water into pieces and scattered it in the wind.

“and then?”

“Haven’t you done homework? There are seven or eight urns of different sizes in it. After the water is poured out, wash them so that they can pickle new ones.” The ones made last year have been eaten, and new ones have to be made this year.

“You do so much by yourself?” He frowned, and couldn’t help but feel distressed. A woman with three children needs to prepare food and pickles. Can she be busy?

The sad Xiao Jingfeng felt a little bit of self-blame. It was a man’s job to support a family, but she was so tired that she left her hometown to make a living. No wonder she felt resentment in her heart, and she never wanted to be Xiao’s wife again.

After wiping off the sweat, she saw the satisfaction of having enough food and clothing on her face. “If you don’t cook, you can’t eat. Can you expect chipmunks to bring you food?”

At this time last year, she was still worrying about the lack of warmth of the quilt, looking for and catching snakes everywhere, and preparing warm clothes to survive the severe winter. After a year of hard work, she not only furnished the stone house, but also had surplus food for the family. , with nearly a hundred taels of silver in her hand, and the child kissed her again, she had nothing more to ask for.

Li Jinger has always longed for the secluded life in martial arts novels, a secret valley isolated from the world, self-sufficient and not dependent on the outside world, raising fish and rice, flocks of chickens and ducks, medicinal herbs everywhere, and children running and playing barefoot in the rapeseed fields.

But when I think about it, there is a big gap between reality and dream. She who loves mountains and forests can live in a stone house built by herself, and she is very satisfied. Looking at mountains and rivers all day long, gods are not as happy as her. She finds what she wants here. peaceful.

Without someone’s presence…

“I mean, I’ll do the heavy lifting, and you just watch.” He scrubbed the big and small urns diligently with the water from the spring.

“Is it okay for you not to return to the camp for so many days?” Her words had the meaning of driving people away.

“You care about me?” He smiled.

Li Jinger turned her head away, not looking at his charming smile. “It’s not good to be hit by a military stick. Deserters will be beheaded. It’s better to keep your head connected to your body.”

No one wants someone they know to die unexpectedly, especially her child’s father, it’s a good thing to be alive, there is no need to curse him to die early.

“Ms. Jing, you still have me in your heart—” She didn’t say it, but she cared a little bit in her heart. She is a soft-hearted person.

She spat, interrupting his narcissism. “Stop being so sentimental, why don’t I use labor that doesn’t need to be paid for, you just do some handyman.”

Being regarded as a part-time worker, he chuckled softly, “At least I can do something, so I won’t be disliked. Two days ago, I saw a field of wild Panax notoginseng on the mountain on the left. The range is so large that it can collect tens of thousands of catties. I’ll go check it out. After that, the mountain is steep and difficult to climb, so you have to use ropes to go up and down, and after a few days, when you are ready, about a hundred soldiers will come to collect…”

It means that he is in charge of this matter and can stay for more than a month.

“Isn’t it a peace negotiation?” No war.

Xiao Jingfeng’s smile faded, “Be prepared for any danger, grind it into Sanqi powder and store it for a longer period of time. There is no certainty about the war, and you can go back on your word after negotiating a peace.”

“That’s why you were transferred to the Sanhe Guard.” The pitiful people in the war between the two countries were the common people, who would call for food and soldiers as soon as the war broke out.

He paused, “Jing Niang, I can’t answer you.”

military secrets.

Li Jinger didn’t really want to know, she deliberately hid in the mountains to avoid the spread of the war, the two armies were fighting to occupy the city, and would not flee to the sparsely populated hills.

“Go to the vegetable field and pull Chinese cabbage, just keep five or six, and pull out all the others.”

Food is the most important thing for the people, so we must fill our stomachs first. The war is too far away from her. The most important thing is to take care of the present, and winter is coming.

“All out?” That’s a lot.

There is a lot of fog in the mountains, plenty of moisture, and fertile ground. Each bright green Chinese cabbage is huge, twice the size of the common vegetables in the village. Pick up one, and then bend over and pull it out, the soil next to it will loosen, and there will be a gap, so it will not be difficult to pull it out.

Because it is so big, he can only take three Chinese cabbages at a time, and he goes back and forth several times before he is done. Sixty to seventy Chinese cabbages can be grown in a small vegetable field.

Korean kimchi is not difficult to make, the main thing is to adjust the sauce. Li Jinger cooked the miso with rice washing water, pepper, star anise, coarse salt, etc. last night, and let it cool overnight.

Cut off the root of Chinese cabbage, put it in a spring to wash, wash off the dust on it, put it on a stone to dry, and wait for the water to dry.

“Look at what I do, first spread the sauce on the outermost vegetable leaves, spread evenly on both sides, and then spread a piece of vegetable leaves, and put pickled shallots in the middle of each vegetable leaf…Stacking in layers, Marinate it for half a month to a month, then cut it open and eat it…” She saw that this is what she did in Han Zong’s “Three Meals a Day”. nation.

I made pickled cabbage and made Japanese-style pickled vegetables. The radishes, cucumbers, eggplants, shallots, cowpeas…all in the vegetable field were harvested. After Xiao Jingfeng’s whirlwind, there was not much left in the vegetable field. empty.

“Plant some winter wheat!”

The years are quiet, you wash the vegetables and I marinate them, and you move the tanks and I adjust them, just like a young couple in the slack time, quietly doing the work at hand.

When the tasks at hand were finished, a crow called to remind them that the sky was dark, the sun had set in the west, the tired birds were returning to their nests, and the smoke from the kitchen below the mountain was curling up.

“Ah! It’s so late…” It’s time to cook.

Before Li Jinger could finish speaking, a silver dragon streaked across the sky, thunder rumbled suddenly, and a heavy thunderstorm poured down without warning. “It’s raining…”

“Yes! It’s raining, you…” She hesitated whether to let him enter the house to shelter from the rain, the torrential rain was astonishing.

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Jingfeng, who was not overbearing, smiled and turned around and rushed into the built grass shed in the rain, and waved to her, telling her to enter the house quickly to avoid catching cold.
