I Am That Little Fox [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 37

After confirming the relationship, the two got closer.
On days when they don’t need to go to work, Bai Xiaoxi and Liang Sheng either read books together, or go up the mountain together, sometimes making appointments to visit the commune.
The medicinal materials that Liang Sheng had picked up from the mountain before were dried, and he took his two younger brothers and went to the county town with Bai Xiaoxi.
It was still dark and we set off, crossing the long yellow mud road between the fields, and walking to the commune.
With two more people, there was a lot of excitement. The two young people were carrying a basket, talking non-stop, and turning back to talk to Liang Sheng from time to time.
It was mainly with Liang Sheng that the two looked at their mouths quite slippery, but they were very cautious in front of Bai Xiaoxi. When they just said hello, they blushed and stammered.
Liang Sheng drove them to the front, so as not to be an eyesore.
“…Really, that fish was very big, I was taller than me, I remember very clearly, when I was only five years old, my dad sold the fish and asked my brother to go to school.”
“Bring it to you. Last time I said it was as thick as your waist. This time it was taller. Will it be as big as a water tank next time?!”
“Who is bragging! That fish is thick and long, can’t you? If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng is a few years older than us, so I must have seen that fish.”
“Brother Sheng, did he brag, did you really see it?”
Liang Sheng didn’t bother to pay attention to such nonsense, “A few of their things are with you, remember to distinguish clearly.”
There were several people who went up the mountain together, but Liang Sheng only took two people to the county town each time. The other people’s things were taken by them and the money was counted when they returned.
“I’m clear,” a young man shook his back basket, “all are open.”
“By the way, Brother Sheng, didn’t you let us look at Liang Zhiqiang that day, the disease was not healed, and many people have come to his house these days. Last night, I saw the youngest daughter coming from the back of the mountain. It was really strange. She doesn’t go during the day, and it’s so dark at night. She is so old that she is not afraid of falling.”
“I see, go your way.”
The two young men turned their heads back, and after a while they started talking again.
“Who is Yaopo?” Bai Xiaoxi asked Liang Sheng. It was really strange that an old man went to the captain’s house at night.
“She lives on the other side of Xiaoyangmeiling. She doesn’t usually show up. You haven’t seen it.” Liang Sheng glanced at the first two people, and saw that they didn’t pay attention, before continuing, “She used to be a goddess.”
Yaopo’s time as a god-wife took about a decade or so, and then she hardly came out after “breaking the four olds”, and now the younger generations of Yang Meiling don’t know about it.
Bai Xiaoxi nodded. The goddess went to Liang Zhiqiang’s house, probably because of the “dirty stuff” on his body.
In fact, in her opinion, Liang Zhiqiang was overwhelmed with fright, plus colds and no good medicine, so she had repeated fevers, but the villagers secretly spread it mysteriously.
When we arrived in the county by car, it was time to have breakfast. Bai Xiaoxi and Liang Sheng looked at each other, tacitly lining up at the breakfast shop last time.
The two young men took out the dry food from their arms and prepared to eat with the aroma wafting from the store.
Liang Sheng slapped them on the head, “I can’t stand in line yet.”
“But… Brother Sheng, we don’t have food stamps.” The young man touched his head.
“I have a ticket, don’t stop his father’s nonsense.” Liang Sheng was impatient, as if they said one more thing, he was about to beat someone.
The young people hurriedly lined up behind him, and said with a smile, “Thank you, Brother Sheng!”
One clever said: “Thank you Bai Zhiqing!”
The other listened and quickly followed.
Bai Xiaoxi smiled at them and said, “This candy pie is delicious, wait a minute and try it.”
“Okay…” The two blushed.
Liang Sheng glared at them, feeling particularly annoying.
His little brothers were thinking that when Brother Sheng and them came to the county seat, they brought their own dry food, but now they come with Bai Zhiqing, but eat a restaurant, it is different when they have a target.
It seems that they also have to work hard to make money, otherwise they won’t be able to talk about it in the future.
Later, when they saw Bai Xiaoxi’s appetite, the young people were startled and frightened.
Can girls eat this way?
It seems that no matter how hard they work, they can’t talk about someone!
After breakfast, Bai Xiaoxi went to the bookstore to buy books, and the three of Liang Sheng went to sell the things.
There were so many people this time, they didn’t stay in the county for too long, and went back after buying something from the store.
A few days later, a major incident occurred in Yangmeiling. The captain was dismissed because of feudal superstition.
People from the commune pulled out a few pieces of talisman paper from his house, and the brigade leader’s wife was about to feed Liang Zhiqiang to drink talisman water and ask people to catch it.
No matter how the family cried and screamed, the position of the captain was changed.
The new captain was promoted by the original squad captain. He was honest, hardworking and kind. He had a good reputation among the villagers and everyone convinced him.
Only a few people saw something strange: How did the people in the commune know that the captain was superstitious? How could it be so coincidental? The new captain became the ultimate beneficiary. Is he really that honest?
Bai Xiaoxi also looked at Liang Sheng suspiciously. In her intuition, Liang Sheng didn’t seem to do the kind of whistleblower, he was more inclined to beat people directly.
But they only talked about Yaopo a few days ago, and the team leader had an accident right after that, which was a coincidence.
Liang Sheng flipped through the book and said frankly: “It’s not me.”
They have a saying here, the life son who told the petition has no ass.
He didn’t do such a thing.
However, he didn’t do it. Some people wanted to do it. Little Yangmeiling, how many people coveted the position of the captain, as long as they heard a little wind, they would dare to go out and pull people off the horse.
After the new captain came up, it happened to be the time to harvest potatoes. After harvesting the spring potatoes, they had to plant another season of cabbage. The people in Yangmeiling were really busy for a while.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost May, and the red bayberry on Xiaoyangmeiling gradually became red, and the cheeks looked like girls, with pink in white.
Bai Xiaoxi couldn’t help but picked one, his face tangled with sourness.
Liang Sheng didn’t eat it. Just looking at her expression, his mouth was salivating, “This kind of local bayberry is only delicious when it is red and black. Come back after the Dragon Boat Festival.”
“Woo…” Bai Xiaoxi opened his eyes, tears in his eyes, and his teeth were almost falling out, but he still couldn’t bear to spit out the bayberry.
Liang Sheng looked at her misty eyes, coughed lightly, turned aside his gaze, and quickly turned back, stretched out his hand uncomfortably, touched the top of her hair, and said, “Go back and eat sweets.”
After speaking, he took Bai Xiaoxi’s hand and strode ahead.
It seemed that as long as he walked fast enough, others would not see his red ears.
In the afternoon of the next day, Bai Xiaoxi went to read him.
Liang Sheng didn’t know what he was up to, so he walked out of the stove with a bottle of things in his hand.
“Canned Yangmei?” Bai Xiaoxi was surprised.
But she clearly remembered that all they bought back were canned oranges. Even in the department store in the county town, they didn’t seem to see canned bayberry on sale.
Liang Sheng put the bottle on the table, and Bai Xiaoxi took a closer look and found that the bayberry in it was not very mature, with a little white in the red color, just like those on the mountain.
She then realized that Liang Sheng had picked fresh red bayberry, made it into a can, and put it in an empty bottle.
Liang Sheng opened the cap of the bottle, handed her a spoon, waved his hand, not caring, and said, “The taste is average, just eat it.”
However, when Bai Xiaoxi scooped a bayberry and put it in his mouth, he stared at her face again.
At the entrance of the sweet juice and bayberry, Bai Xiaoxi bends his eyes suddenly, “Very sweet, not sour at all.”
Liang Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but he quickly became tensed, and said indifferently, “Just add sugar and boil it, and everyone will do it.”
Bai Xiaoxi smiled and said, “Even if others do, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t eat what they make.”
Liang Sheng still wanted to keep his face straight, but couldn’t stretch it anymore, showing a slightly obvious smile, exposing his two tiger teeth.
“Let’s eat together.” Bai Xiaoxi handed the spoon to his mouth.
She used it…Liang Sheng looked at her smiling face, all kinds of thoughts rushed in his head, he opened his mouth in a daze, and was fed by her.
After feeding him, Bai Xiaoxi scooped a spoon for herself, and the silver-white spoon disappeared between her red lips and teeth…
Liang Sheng choked and coughed several times before standing up, “There is still something in the pot, I’ll go take a look.”
As soon as the voice fell, the people disappeared.
A sweet smell floated out of the stove, and Bai Xiaoxi followed curiously.
The big pot on the stove was bubbling, and the water in the pot was almost dried up. Liang Sheng held the shovel and kept turning it to prevent the pot from sticking.
“You move so fast.” Bai Xiaoxi exclaimed.
Because she loves to eat, she knows how to make bayberry preserves. Fresh bayberry needs to be cooked first, and then pressed with heavy objects for at least one day and one night, squeezed out the water inside, and boil it with sugar until all the water is dried. Just considered complete.
They were on the mountain at noon yesterday, and this afternoon the candied bayberry was almost ready. This means that after they separated yesterday, Liang Sheng started making it immediately, and maybe he even took the time to go to the commune to buy white sugar.
She stood by the stove and sniffed lightly. The red bayberry in the pot was boiled and showed a purple-red color. Each one was wrapped in crystal sugar liquid, which looked particularly attractive.
“What can I do?” She asked. If she knew Liang Sheng was doing this in advance, she would come here earlier and could help a little bit.
Liang Sheng shook his head, “It’s ready soon.”
The juice has to be collected again, but seeing her shining eyes, Liang Sheng picked up a few bayberry and put them in a bowl, took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her.
“Be careful.”
Bai Xiaoxi caught one, put it to his mouth and blew it. He didn’t eat it. Instead, he fed it to him, “You have done so hard, so you must be the first to taste it.”
He used all the spoons she had eaten just now, and now it’s nothing.
Liang Sheng finished reading silently in his heart, and ate the bayberry casually.
“Is it still hot?” Bai Xiaoxi asked him, seeing some pulp on the tip of his chopsticks, subconsciously put it in his mouth and sucked it clean.
Liang Sheng: “…”
It’s not hot, but it’s a bit hot, and his nose is itchy after eating. I guess he wants a nosebleed.
