=======》《======Dividing line=====》《=======
Lotus ran to the hut in one breath. Although she was excited, she still didn't forget to rub the soles of her shoes in the lime basin at the door. Then she walked in, and by the light of the candle held by Liangzi, she saw several cloth bags. Small, tender mushroom buds have sprouted from the opening. The gray-white mushrooms are no bigger than the belly of a little finger. They are as fresh and tender as dewdrops that have just condensed in the morning, but they make both Hehua and Liangzi excited. They have worked so hard. After so long, all the efforts finally paid off. Chapter 155: Danger in the Forest.
During breakfast, the whole family finally planted Hehua's mushrooms. While everyone was happy, they all felt that it was a bit incredible. Since ancient times, they had only heard of picking mushrooms, but never of growing mushrooms. Hehua and Liangzi have been busy for so long. The family members all had an attitude of letting them do whatever they wanted, and no one thought that they could really make a name for themselves with this.
Zhu Yongxin couldn't help but ask, now you can grow fresh mushrooms in winter? "
He Hua smiled and said, "Dad, what you grow are of course fresh mushrooms. Can you also grow dry mushrooms?" "
"You girl, I don't mean it, but you still use pretentious words here." Zhu Yongxin said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that when you started doing it, your mother said you were just fooling around. Let me Don't listen to your nonsense, I didn't expect that you would actually make a name for yourself with your efforts."
When Mrs. Fang heard that Zhu Yongxin had exposed the truth, she suddenly lost her face. She glared at Zhu Yongxin and said, "Didn't you say that it wouldn't take much effort anyway? Just let her fool around for a while. It doesn't matter. But now it's..." Come talk to me. "
"We are all old, and our brains are no longer strong enough. If we can't understand what they are doing, we think it is nonsense. Now we have really worked hard to come up with Chapter 155: Danger in the Mountains. It is really not easy." Zhu Yongxin praised. He patted Liangzi on the shoulder and said, "Well done, let your aunt cook some more dishes at noon, and we can have a drink."
Hearing this, Mrs. Fang smiled and said that it would be no problem to cook more dishes, but Liangzi was still a child, so you should stop coaxing others to drink. "
Liangzi was embarrassed and said that in fact, I really didn't do anything. It was only because of the cleverness of the lotus flower that I was able to come up with such a method. If it was just me, I might not be able to grow it even after ten years of hard work. "
"Brother Liangzi, don't be modest. If you weren't very familiar with all kinds of mushrooms, watered them, and made fires when the weather was good, I wouldn't be able to grow mushrooms on my own. So this is called complementing each other and bringing out the best in each other. Today we are still mushrooms in the mountains. "We succeeded this time. We will go to the mountains to pick more mushrooms and plant them. This way, when it is cold and there are no mushrooms in the mountains, we can grow more mushrooms and sell them for money." Hehua said as he I fantasize about making money by selling fresh mushrooms in winter, and my eyebrows are crooked and sweet when I smile.
Zhu Yongxin heard that I have dried the cow dung at home and kept it for you. As for the sawdust, it is even easier to get. Even if we can't get it from other people's homes, we can just saw more wood at home. "
"Anyway, as long as our family works together, life will definitely get better and better." Seeing Zhu Yongxin's strong support, Hehua smiled and stepped forward to hug him and Fang's necks, then winked at Jasmine and said, "And this way , Mom doesn’t have to worry about the dowry, she will definitely be able to buy it in a glorious way.”
"You stinky girl, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't make fun of me a few times every day?" Jasmine stretched out her hand and pulled the lotus, and it squeaked, making the lotus laugh out of breath and beg for mercy.
Shaoyao sat aside and pursed her lips as she watched them laugh. Thinking of Lotus saying that the whole family would work together and the days would get better and better, she suddenly felt sour in her heart. Thinking of her parents who were kicked out of the house, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable and ate it in her mouth. The food also became bitter and hard to swallow. She put down the pastry in her hand, picked up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. Then she stood up and said, "I'm full." After that, she went back to the house.
Her departure made the atmosphere in the room slightly stiff. Hehua sat up from the kang, licked her hair that was messed up when she was laughing with Jasmine, and stuck out her tongue to ask if Sister Shaoyao was unhappy. ? "
"I'm afraid she's thinking of her own parents," Mrs. Fang sighed, "You two, stop making trouble, hurry up and clean up the inside and outside of the house after dinner. I'll go work at your Aunt Wang's house. You two Our family has fed the pigs and chickens, so we can look at the tiger cubs and bolts, do you hear that?"
"Yes" He Hua and Jasmine nodded in agreement.
Liangzi helped pick up the dishes and put away the table. He got up and went to the yard. He saw Shaoyao poking his head in front of the thatched shed, but he didn't dare to go in. He hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and wanted to go back.
"Shaoyao, what's up, do you want to see mushrooms?" Liangzi stepped forward and greeted.
"Yes, I heard what you said is quite mysterious. Mushrooms can grow on cow dung and sawdust. I have never heard of it, so I am very curious." Shaoyao lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes.
"I'll take you in to take a look, but you have to step on your shoes clean here first, and don't touch them casually after you go in, okay?" Liangzi turned to Shaoyao and said.
Shaoyao nodded seriously, followed Liangzi into the thatched shed, rubbed the soles of her shoes in the lime basin, and said with a smile, I remember Lotus used this often when raising chickens. "
"Yes, she said that using this can rub away all the dirt on the soles of her feet. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think she really follows it seriously. She never forgets to step on this every time she comes in, so I think It should still be useful." Liangzi held up the lamp and led Peony to the cloth bag where the mushrooms came out.
Shaoyao looked at the buds of the mushrooms, but they were not there for a long time. Liangzi thought that she was also stunned with joy like Lotus. He turned around and was about to follow her, but he saw her staring at the mushrooms with tears streaming down her face.
Liangzi was startled when he saw this. It was not easy to say in this thatched shed that they were an orphan and a widower. If Shaoyao cried like this and was seen by others, there would be hundreds of mouths that could not explain clearly.
He didn't dare to reach out casually to pull Shaoyao, so he could only ask Shaoyao in as gentle a voice as possible, "What's wrong with you?" Does it smell bad and irritate your eyes? Shall we go out? "
Shaoyao wiped away her tears, lowered her head and said I'm sorry, Brother Liangzi, I must have scared you, I'm fine, I just feel a little unhappy. "
"What's the matter that can't be solved? Do you have to cry?" Seeing this, Liangzi found a small bench that he usually used in the thatched shed and handed it to Shaoyao, asking her to sit down and relax her mood.
"I have never been liked since I was a child. My parents don't like me, let alone others. My mother beats me and scolds me whenever she is unhappy. My father is either gambling or drinking. I have always worked hard to achieve my goals. Change, my mother doesn’t like me eating too much or being fat, so I starve myself every day to lose weight. My father doesn’t like me being a girl, so I work hard and clean up everything inside and outside the house. , I want his daughter to be useful. But my parents are still not satisfied, they always want to use me in exchange for money..." Shaoyao said as she hugged her knees with both hands, tears silently falling down her cheeks, and then plopped on her On the skirt, "I really envy Hehua. Her parents are so reasonable, and her brother and brother are so kind to her. She is beautiful and smart. She does everything decently. She is knowledgeable and can write well. Well done, the second uncle and the second aunt always said that if Hehua were a boy, he would be able to take the top exam in the future. But as for me, when I learned to read from Hehua, I often failed even though I tried hard. I felt like I was really a failure. I… "
The more Shaoyao talked, the more she couldn't control her emotions. She hugged her knees and started crying.
Liangzi was at a loss on the side, not to mention that what he was doing now was inappropriate, and it was also the first time he saw a girl crying like this in front of him, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only rack his brains to think of a way. She advised her that everyone is good at different things. For example, you see that your brother Bo Rong is good at reading. Now he has been admitted as a scholar and became a student. He can go to the academy in the city to study. But what about me? I can't study, so I can only set traps in the mountains, catch pheasants, rabbits, and pick mushrooms. But we both had a great time, right? Although you are not as good at studying as Hehua, your needlework is much better than hers."
"But I..." Shaoyao sighed, "I don't think so anymore. In fact, I'm happy for her when I see the lotus growing mushrooms, but occasionally I feel that the more powerful the lotus is, the less I can do it. , very useless."
"Who says you are useless? Hehua told me two days ago that you are very skillful and simple in embroidery, as you are flying needles and threads every day. But as soon as she picked up the embroidery needle, she felt uncomfortable all over. She couldn't embroider a flower. It’s more tiring than a day’s work, so I said I envy you very much.” When Liangzi saw that Shaoyao finally stopped crying, he quickly praised while the iron was hot, “Of course it’s true, why don’t you tell yourself, who is better at needlework between you and Hehua?” well done?"
Shaoyao thought about how Lotus looked when Fang caught him and had to stay at home to embroider. She couldn't help but laugh and said that that girl was really weird. If she was allowed to read, she could sit there all day without changing. But if you ask her to embroider, she won't be able to sit still for a moment and would like to find some excuse to run away. My second aunt even complained to me about this."
"So, as a person, you should look at your strengths more and don't always compare your shortcomings with the strengths of others. The more you compare, the more worthless you will feel. In the end, you may feel that living in this world is a waste of food. That's really bad." Liangzi smiled when Shaoyao burst into tears, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Although your parents are not very good to you sometimes, you are still like your parents after all, better than me. It’s much better. I’ve only been running in the mountains with my grandfather since I was a child. To me, father and mother are just two words, two words that are both familiar and unfamiliar. It’s not about their appearance or the kind of people they are. I remember my childhood. When I was a kid, there were always people in the village calling me a wild child and throwing stones at me. Every time I went home after being bullied, I didn’t dare to let my grandpa go, so I hid in the quilt and cried. At that time, I thought, as long as God allows me to see As soon as I see my parents, I will feel very happy if they can be returned to me, even if they are heinous bad people. Unfortunately, such a wish will never be realized, maybe only after I die. , so that we can really meet our parents."
"Brother Liangzi, don't say that. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for my random thoughts, I wouldn't have made you think of sad things." Shaoyao apologized profusely after hearing this.
"Silly girl, I'm not sad about anything. Look, I'm not living a very good life now. Life in this world may be short, but it's not long. Instead of always thinking about those unhappy things, it's better to Work hard and live happily.”
"Well, Brother Liangzi is right. My second uncle and my second aunt are so kind to me, and Hehua is also very good to me. I really shouldn't be thinking so much." Shaoyao pulled out the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face. , and then stood up to look at the mushroom sprouts that came out of the bag seriously. I couldn't help but think that the mushrooms looked like this when they first sprouted. It was so cute."
"Isn't it cute?" Hehua opened the straw curtain and entered the house, stepped on the soles of her shoes in the lime basin, then walked to Shaoyao and said, "Sister Shaoyao, I want to ask you something."
"Just tell me what happened, why do you need to ask..." Shaoyao felt a little guilty after hearing this, and unconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek. Remembering that his tears had been wiped away, he put down his hand and said unnaturally. .
"I'm thinking about leaving the job of growing mushrooms to you. Although the mushrooms have been planted now, they have just sprouted. I'm not sure whether they can grow well, and we will plant more in the future. There are so many mushrooms, I’m sure I won’t be able to keep busy, but would Sister Shaoyao be willing to help?”
"Me?" Shaoyao pointed a little unconfidently, "Can I not skip the words
Hehua turned around and asked Liangzi, "Brother Liangzi, what do you think, do you think Sister Shaoyao can do it?" "
"Shaoyao is so careful and patient, I think it will work." Liangzi nodded.
After hearing this, Shaoyao's eyes sparkled, a smile appeared on her lips, and her whole cheek seemed to be very radiant, but she still felt a little unconfident about me, but I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"I'm afraid, we still have Brother Liangzi and me," Hehua encouraged. "Besides, we've just started. There are many things you don't understand and we don't understand. Let's all discuss it. Do you think this is good?"
"Okay, of course it's good," Shaoyao happily agreed, "Then, when you have time, tell me first what should I do?"
"Okay, today I am going to the mountains to pick mushrooms with Brother Liangzi. I will write it down and give it to you directly in the future. You can get used to it first. What I do may not be right. Even if it is right, there are many The big space allows us to improve, so if we all use our brains together, it will be more thorough than me thinking hard every day." Hehua smiled and persuaded Shaoyao back to the house.
As the two of them walked towards the mountain, Liangzi couldn't help but ask what Peony said in the shed just now. In fact, you heard it, right? "
"Do you think I listened on purpose?" Hehua glanced at him and said, "Thank you for working in the shed every day and not paying attention. The shed is not only unable to insulate sound, but can actually amplify the sound. It's not because of that. I was in the shed just now. While I was feeding the pigs, you two clearly seemed to be following me. When I first heard Shaoyao crying, I thought you were bullying her, so I almost rushed in."
Liangzi was frightened for a while after hearing this, but he still said Lotus sincerely. Speaking of which, I really admire you. Would you think of letting Peony grow mushrooms together? "
"Actually, even if I hadn't heard Sister Shaoyao's words this time, I would have done it, but according to my original plan, it might have been a little later, when the success rate of growing mushrooms was relatively high and stable. He Hua sighed and said, "Sister Shaoyao's little feet are something that I have always been thinking about. With my family's background and parents like Sister Shaoyao, I am afraid she can only marry an ordinary family, but her pair of feet With little feet, I can only work in front of the stove and in the house, and maybe I can't bear it. Then I will have a hard time in the future. So later I heard you said that mushrooms can grow on wood, and I felt very interested. If you really can When you grow mushrooms at home, Sister Shaoyao can also do the usual watering, and it won’t be very tiring. You can still make money this way, which is really a good job for her.”
"Hehua, I didn't expect that you could think so long-term at such a young age." Liangzi said with emotion, "Then you told Shaoyao in advance just because you heard what Shaoyao said and you were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. ?”
"That's not the case. Didn't you hear that I usually say mine? No skipping words. Hehua smiled and said, "I always say that I usually look good, but actually I have an idea in my heart. I have thought about it in my heart. If I hadn't felt that there was a serious need to change things, I would never have been casually persuaded by others. In fact, the reason why I told Sister Shaoyao in advance today is because her words made me want to understand something, which actually has something to do with you. "
"Does it have something to do with me?" Liangzi looked at Hehua in confusion.
Lotus carried the basket on his back, paying attention to the mud under his feet, and walked on dry areas. Then he said to Liangzi, do you still remember what you said in front of your grandfather before? What you said that time left a deep impression on me. You said you What I want is not sympathy, charity or pity. The reason why you grow mushrooms with me is because you think you are useful. You rely on your own hands to eat. So when I heard Sister Shaoyao's words just now, I suddenly thought of When you said this, let me ask you, if I researched everything about growing mushrooms and could grow them, then I came to you and said, Brother Liangzi, I think growing mushrooms to make money is very suitable for you, and I will research everything. Got it, let me teach you, and you can make money by growing mushrooms, what are you thinking? "
"I will never accept it. I will think that you are telling me this pie-in-the-sky good thing because I saved your grandfather and you want to repay your kindness. It will make me feel very uncomfortable." Liangzi said immediately, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"Yes, Sister Shaoyao seems to be a very docile person. She seems to have no idea. It would be harsh to ask her to stay at home. Sometimes she even has no sense of existence. No one will ask for her opinion. , she doesn’t express her opinions, which makes it seem like she can do everything and doesn’t have too many requirements. But in fact, she is a very sensitive person in her heart. It’s not that she has no requirements or pursuits, but that she buries everything in In her heart, she didn't dare to say it, and she felt that she shouldn't say it at all. Her parents were kicked out of the house. She always felt that living in my house now was an inheritance from my family, and she always tried her best to help the family. , but never asked for anything. So I asked her to grow mushrooms with us. I didn’t want her to feel that I was giving alms to her, that I felt pity for her, and I wanted her to really feel that she was a useful person. He is a man who can accomplish great things.”
Liangzi was very emotional when he heard this and said to Hehuadao. After hearing your words, I seem to understand more and more how comfortable it is to stay at your house. At first, the fortune teller in our village saw me as pitiful and wanted to accept me as his disciple. But I didn't agree. At that time, everyone said I was stupid, but I still don't regret it, because he didn't accept me because I was a malleable talent, but because he thought I was pitiful, so this kind of adoption is on the way. It's the same as picking up a puppy and bringing it home. I don't want such pity, but your family is different. You give everyone an equal feeling. They all learn from each other and help each other. It doesn't make me special. There is a sense of restraint and you won't feel uncomfortable staying there. "
Liangzi walked in front, cutting off all the branches that stuck out to block the road. Sometimes he would stop to pull a lotus when passing by a difficult place.
Hehua grabbed Liangzi's hand and crossed a broken slope, then stomped the dirt on her feet. Brother Liangzi, since you said so, I thought, I have something to mention to you. "
"What's the matter?" Liangzi asked without looking back.
"Now that mushrooms have been grown, we will definitely be able to grow more varieties of mushrooms in the future. Should you consider whether to move your home?" Hehua asked, "Actually, I have wanted to ask about this for a long time. , but I always felt that I was afraid that you would be too worried, so I never dared to mention it. I plan to build two rows of adobe houses behind my house. They don’t need upper beams, just flat-roofed ones, specifically for growing mushrooms. If If you decide to move, I’ll give you three rooms together on the same level as my house, so that you won’t be hindered from hunting in the mountains in the future, and it will also be convenient for you to take care of mushrooms, what do you think?”
"Moving..." Liangzi hesitated after hearing this, "My grandfather's grave is still in Zhaojiazhuang, I..."
"Then just pretend that I didn't say it, Brother Liangzi, don't take it to heart. In fact, it was mainly my mother who said that it was time to tell Liangzi about that child. My ears could hear the cocoon, and then I thought, since it is You have to have a decent house, and you will eventually get married. After you get married, you will always take care of the mushrooms here. Your sister-in-law at home should have complaints, but if you move here, isn't it? There are no more problems.”
Liangzi's face turned red when he heard this, and he said with a stern expression, "How come my aunt is saying such things to a little girl like you?"
"My mother cares about you, too." Hehua was skipping ahead with a basket on her back. Suddenly she saw a black furry thing rolling to her feet. It was too late to stop, and she almost stumbled over. He stood holding on to the tree trunk next to him, lowered his head and took a closer look, and couldn't help but call Daoliangzi brother, look, this... couldn't be a little bear, right? There are not many words”
Liangzi's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He stepped forward and pulled the lotus behind him. He looked closely and saw that the person in front of him was not a chubby little bear. He screamed in his heart. If the little bear was here, the female bear would also be separated. Not far away, he felt that his palms and back were soaked with sweat. In all the years he had been going up the mountain since he was a child, he had never seriously encountered a blind bear. He had walked this road hundreds of thousands of times, and he had never encountered it. I have seen the traces left by bears. According to my grandfather, blind bears are all deeper in the mountains. Will a little bear suddenly appear here? He held the hatchet tightly in his hand, but the knife was barely usable against a small bear. If it encountered an adult blind bear, it wouldn't be enough to take it down with one paw.
Hehua looked at the little bear playing innocently, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but Liangzi grabbed it and said goodbye**. If the little bear had the smell of a stranger, the blind female bear would definitely get angry. Then it will be difficult for us. "As he spoke, he looked around and listened to the sounds in the forest, but he couldn't tell in which direction the blind bear was. The forest in his yard, which he was usually familiar with, had become particularly quiet and unsettling today. .
Liangzi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he grabbed the lotus and ran back along the way. Not long after running, he heard an angry roar from the distance. Liangzi exclaimed, "It's not good." Sure enough, the blind female bear was also nearby, and the lotus , let’s go quickly”
When Hehua heard the sound, she was frightened even though she was far away. The biggest wild animals she had ever seen in the forest were probably hares and pheasants. Although she had seen many black bears in the zoo, if A face-to-face intimate contact in the forest would be the end of the fun for her, so she didn't need Liangzi's instructions at the moment and ran down the mountain closely behind Liangzi.
Liangzi was running when he heard something moving behind him. When he looked back, he almost cried. The little bear was following Hehua not far away. He seemed to be watching what the two people were doing, so he was in front without looking back. Run wildly.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped, Hehua turned around strangely. When she saw the cub following him, she couldn't help but feel her feet soften. The reason why the mother bear roared so angrily just now was probably because the cub was gone. Well, the cub followed all the way, doesn’t that mean the mother bear will follow soon
When Liangzi saw this, he didn't think much and said to the lotus, "Run quickly. Don't stop or look back. Just keep running along the way we came and go back to the village." "
"Brother Liangzi, what do you want to do?" Hehua asked with her upper and lower teeth almost trembling.
Liangzi didn't bother to say anything more to her. He stepped forward and hugged the little bear. The little bear was still very young and couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or an enemy. When Liangzi hugged her, he thought he was playing with her and nuzzled him very meekly. Touching Liangzi's chest.
Seeing this, Hehua couldn't help but said: Brother Liangzi, you, you are not going to kill the little bear, are you? There are not many words”
Before he finished speaking, another roar came from the forest. The sound sounded much closer now than before. Liangzi and Hehua's faces suddenly turned pale.
"Run!" Liangzi turned around and shouted sharply at Hehua.
"I..." Hehua tried not to tremble and said to Liangzi, "We need to go together. I can't let you stay here. It's too dangerous."
Liangzi had already taken off his clothes, wrapped the little bear's body, and tied it to a nearby tree. Then he didn't even bother to pick up the basket on his back, and continued running down the mountain while holding Lotus. At this time, there was a faint vibration on the ground, and the dull footsteps behind her became more and more clear. Hehua ran so hard that she was out of breath, and felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but there was nothing under her feet. Not daring to stop, he was pulled by Liangzi and ran wildly down the mountain.
The footsteps behind her were running faster than them, and they felt they were getting closer. Hehua couldn't help but look back, and saw a big bear standing up, as tall as two people, chasing towards her like crazy. She Startled, Liangzi tripped and fell to the ground without lifting his feet. When Liangzi turned around and saw this situation, there was no point in running. He could only stand up and stop in front of Hehua, holding the hatchet in his hand tightly.
