Chapter 9: Poor Li Jiahua

Views:

Luoye Village is a village formed by the people who fled the war hundreds of years ago. The villagers who fled back then saw the beautiful mountains and rivers and a peaceful scene, and finally everyone decided to stay here.

The name Luoye Village means that although they are foreigners, they are fortunate to gather here, and this place will return their fallen leaves to their roots.

After hundreds of years of development, the most important thing is that the country is stable and there are no more wars. Residents living here don't have to worry about experiencing a life of ups and downs again. The population of Luoye Village is not large, but the development is the best among the surrounding villages.

The headman's house in Luoye Village is a three-story small western-style building. In front of the small western-style building, there is a small courtyard covering an area of 40 to 50 square meters. Guava, mango and other common fruit trees in the south are planted beside the courtyard. The branches in May are already full of green fruits, which attracts many children passing by in the village to look up.

All the roads and paths in the village are paved with concrete roads. Carrying a small luggage bag, Ming Wuxiang and Li Jiahua greeted the villagers they met from time to time on the road without delay, and soon saw the three-story small western-style building, and at the same time saw Li Jiaye standing at the door and waving to them .

Seeing the smirk on his cousin's face, Li Jiahua laughed and cursed: "You brat, your skin is itchy again."

Ming Wuxiang looked at itchy teeth contemptuously, and Li Jiahua, who wanted to beat his cousin up, replied slowly: "Even if the skin is itchy, you dare to beat him?"

"..."

In order to prevent Ming Wuxiang from choking himself to death again, Li Jiahua decisively changed the subject, "Master Dao, are you going home first or what?"

"Say hello to the village chief's grandfather before I go back." Anyway, I accompanied Li Jiahua to the door of the village chief's house, and it would be impolite not to go in and say hello.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the door of the village chief's house. As for Li Jiaye who stood at the door and bared his teeth at Li Jiahua, Li Jiahua didn't dare to beat him, but he could express his respect for this cousin in another way. 'Caring'.

Taking advantage of Li Jiaye's side, Li Jiahua raised his hand, and quickly slapped Li Jiaye's head with one hand, and then rubbed it vigorously.

There are two levels of strength between the two. Li Jiaye couldn't escape the loving care from his cousin at all, so he could only curl his lips and shout: "Grandpa, my cousin bullied me!"

"Li Jiahua, you've messed with the family business again!"

Before Li Jiahua covered the mouth of Li Jiaye who was screaming, a voice full of anger came from the small villa. An old man with an old face, but his movements were not slow at all, and he walked very powerfully walked over, staring at Li Jiahua who was tossing his cousin.

Seeing his uncle and grandpa coming out in person, Li Jiahua could only let go of his subordinate Li Jiaye. Li Jiaye, who was finally free, made a face at Li Jiahua, and then ran to Ming Wuxiang with a smile.

"Brother Wuxiang, let's leave my cousin alone. I found a medicinal herb I didn't recognize at the foot of the mountain last time. Brother Wuxiang, can you help me find out what it is?"

Seeing that his cousin's attitude towards himself and Ming Wuxiang was so different, he could only shrug his shoulders. It will become like this, Li Jiahua asked for it.

To be honest, it's strange to like a cousin who likes to tease you since childhood.

"Grandpa, we're back." Li Jiahua acted as if nothing had happened just now, and greeted Li Yangxin who came over with a smile, "Grandpa knew that you were old and strong when he heard your voice just now!"

Li Yangxin glared at Li Jiahua who dared to laugh and laugh in front of him. Li Jiahua was good at everything, but his temper was sometimes too short-tempered. They, the elders, almost gave up on being upright with him.

"Did something happen on the way, why are you coming back now?" Although the old man's tone was a bit aggressive, Li Jiahua couldn't hear the concern in the words.

"No, there is no traffic jam on the road today, just chatting with my aunts at the entrance of the village."

Li Yangxin nodded to show that he understood, and turned his head to look at Ming Wuxiang who was being dragged by his grandson, "Xiaoxiang, I'm back, I've had such a good life at school, remember not to hide anything, this kid Jiahua can't handle it." Well you can tell me."

Hearing Li Yangxin's concerned words, Ming Wuxiang smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, grandpa village chief, I will."

Li Yangxin looked at Ming Wuxiang carefully, his aura was much better than before, after living for so many years, the old man can still tell whether the other party's words are true or not, and the worries he had been carrying can finally be let go.

He raised his hand and patted Ming Wuxiang's shoulder, "Okay, okay." Li Yangxin felt relieved that the child was able to come out on his own initiative, and lowered his head and said to his grandson who wanted to pull Ming Wuxiang away: "Brother Wuxiang just came back. You haven't put it down yet, don't make trouble with him, if you need anything, look for your cousin next door."

Hearing that grandpa asked him to find the cousin next door, a contemptuous look appeared on his face, "Cousin Jiahua doesn't understand."

It can be said that Li Jiahua was shot while lying down this round, but he really didn't understand the medicinal herbs that Li Jiaye just mentioned...

"Cough cough." I almost couldn't help laughing, so I could only cough, suppressed the laughter, patted Li Jiaye who was sticking to him, and said, "Jiaye, I don't have time for now. Can you take care of me?"

Li Jiaye is not one of those brats who insist on doing what they say and like to make tempers. They are young but they can see that Ming Wuxiang really has no time, so they have to let him go. Before letting go, they don’t forget to ask Ming Wuxiang to give him a guarantee. , must not be forgotten.

And there was more than one kind, he also dug up several kinds that he didn't recognize.

Speaking of the kid from the Li family, he is quite special in the Li family. The two members of the Li family should both be talented in business, but the kid from the Li family suddenly mutated and became more interested in medicinal herbs.

Ming Wuxiang vaguely remembered that ten years later, Li Jiaye's major was planting and cultivating medicinal materials.

Li Yangxin had nothing to do with them, but he asked Li Jiaye to check it out when he saw that the time had come and the two hadn't appeared yet.

After the two greeted Li Yangxin, they turned and left, and walked towards the two-story building at the end of the village near the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, looking at the home that has not been back for many years but only a few months, Ming Wuxiang suddenly felt a sense of being close to his hometown, but his walking pace accelerated a lot, which made Li Jiahua who came with him strange He glanced at Ming Wuxiang in a hurry.

Standing at the door of the house, the hand holding the key trembled a little, but before Li Jiahua followed, Ming Wuxiang took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, stabilized his emotions, and opened the gate of the yard.

Houses in the countryside, as long as they are allowed, will have a yard in front of each household. Unlike the village head's yard full of various fruits, Ming Wuxiang's yard is planted with medicinal herbs.

However, with the passing of Grandpa Ming and the fact that Ming Wuxiang has been at the school for the past few months, the original herbs in the yard can still be seen to be pretty good. As for the appearance, I really can't ask for it.

Ming Wuxiang looked at the chaotic herbs and weeds growing in the yard, the corners of his eyes slowly turned red.

Li Jiahua, who was standing beside Ming Wuxiang, patted Ming Wuxiang's shoulder silently, "The herb buddies in the yard can't help you, but the hygiene at home can still help."

Ming Wuxiang took a deep breath, suppressed the rising moisture, and glanced sideways at Li Jiahua, "I thought you forgot how to get home."

Li Jiahua's home happened to be a few houses away from the village head's house, while Ming Wuxiang's home was at the end of the village, because Grandpa Ming wanted to take care of his medicinal materials, so he chose the place closest to the medicinal field at the foot of the mountain.

Li Jiahua felt that he had clashed with the village today, and how many times had he been choked along the way

But before Li Jiahua exploded, Ming Wuxiang grinned and said, "Then I'll trouble you buddy. After I'm done, I'll cook for you and let's have a good meal."

Ming Wuxiang's culinary skills are not as good as those of the restaurant chefs outside, but his medicinal cuisine is well-informed by Mr. Ming. When he heard that Ming Wuxiang was cooking, Li Jiahua blinked. Excited, I heard Ming Wuxiang continue.

"There are medicinal materials at home, but you prepare other ingredients." After Ming Wuxiang finished supplementing, he shrugged at Li Jiahua who was stunned, and walked towards the small building on the second floor.

I haven't cleaned it up for several months, so there is no time to waste. After cleaning up, I have to make medicinal meals, and the time is even tighter.

Seeing Ming Wuxiang's leaving back, Li Jiahua wanted to give him a middle finger, "You can do it!" With the medicinal food hanging behind, Li Jiahua had to nod even if he didn't.

Ming Wuxiang's house is a small two-story building, except for Ming Wuxiang's room and a guest room on the upper floor, the remaining room was converted into a study by Grandpa Ming. Inside are all kinds of medical books and cases that Grandpa Ming has encountered or heard.

Grandpa Ming lived downstairs, with the living room and dining room in the middle, Grandpa Ming's room on the left, a study connected to a pharmacy. The kitchen is on the other side, and next to it is the pharmaceutical room.

Ming Wuxiang was in charge of the messy herbs in the yard that were left unattended, while Li Jiahua was in charge of cleaning the small building, but only needed to tidy up the living room and kitchen.

Li Jiahua didn't dare to touch other rooms in the small building, especially Grandpa Ming's room and the pharmacy.

Li Jiahua did a lot of housework at home, and he cleaned up very quickly. When Ming Wuxiang had only finished half of the medicinal materials in the yard, he had already cleaned up the hall and kitchen. At the same time, check what is missing in the kitchen, so that you can buy it later.

"Master Dao, I've cleaned up the hall and kitchen. I'm going to buy vegetables now."

Ming Wuxiang, who was squatting and fiddling with herbs, heard Li Jiahua's shout, stood up and waved to him, and at the same time reminded him, "Okay, by the way, remember to tell auntie that you are eating at my place today."

Ming Wuxiang didn't forget that this kid Li Jiahua learned from a certain great god. He passed by the house and didn't go in without saying anything. He even carried his luggage to his house all the time. Ming Wuxiang didn't know what to say about this.

"Oh." When Ming Wuxiang mentioned it, Li Jiahua remembered the things he had forgotten all the time. As for the luggage, he still didn't take it home, because he thought that he would stay at Ming Wuxiang's house for one night tonight, and he could have a rest tomorrow morning. breakfast.

There is no need to worry at home, even if he doesn't say anything, everyone in the family knows that he is back and that he is here with Ming Wuxiang.

Fortunately, Ming Wuxiang didn't know that Li Jiahua not only wanted to stay at his house tonight, but also wanted to have breakfast tomorrow. Or definitely throw this guy's luggage back to his house.

The distance between the two of them is only a few hundred meters in a straight line, okay

Seeing Li Jiahua leave, the mud wall in the yard was high enough to block the outside view. Ming Wuxiang stood up, clapped his hands, and looked at half of the herbs that needed to be tidied up in front of him, Ming Wuxiang decided to be lazy and tidy up with spiritual power.
