This meal made my whole body feel comfortable, my stomach felt even more comfortable, and my body felt warm. However, everyone was too humble when eating. You gave it to me and I gave it to you, which made Meng Li sigh.
It wouldn't be like this if the conditions were good, and her mother-in-law didn't take the initiative to eat meat. She only ate it after Meng Li or Ren Da picked it up for her.
After dinner, Meng Li put Ren Da's back outside to bask in the sun. The sun was shining now, and he had eaten a meal of meat. It was rare to feel full after eating, so Ren Da's complexion also improved, even if the wind blew over. It was still a little cold at the time, so Meng Li didn't let him blow any more, and carried him back in just one stick of incense.
She had already thought of a way to use a knife for scraping meat, but she still needed some herbs to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, so she had to find them.
"You wait for me at home. I will go up the mountain to find some herbs for you." Meng Li said.
In fact, many ordinary people know some basic herbal medicines, and when they get sick, they will cook them and take them. Ren Da didn't find it strange when he heard this. He just said:
"Those herbs are useless and bitter."
Meng Li said: "I won't ask you to drink it this time. I'll try applying it to your wound."
The client used to find some herbal medicine for Ren Da to drink every day, but he didn't pay attention to the dosage and formula. He just let Ren Da drink whatever he found. The effect was not big. It can't be said that there was no herbal medicine. If he didn't use any herbal medicine to treat him, his condition would be worse than now. Worse.
"Apply it to the wound? Isn't it too wasteful? It's not easy to find some herbs, so I'd better drink it." Ren Da said.
Meng Li glanced at Ren Da helplessly and said, "You have to try any method, right? People have to learn to be flexible."
Ren Da gave a wry smile: "I have often heard people say that the reason why poor people are poor is because they do not know how to adapt. They miss opportunities to make a fortune because they are stupid and ignorant. This may be the reason why I am poor."
Meng Li smiled and teased Ren Da: "No, your poverty is not that simple. There is also poverty accumulated by your ancestors for several generations."
Ren Da: "..."
This is not the first time that my wife has complained that her ancestors were poor and had no land left for themselves.
I was annoyed and annoyed before, but now I feel less disgusted when I hear the other party say it in such a relaxed and indifferent tone.
"Okay, just lie down. If you need anything, call Xiaosi or Xiaowu. Although the child is small, he can still run errands for you." Meng Li planned to go out.
Ren Da nodded and went out. Seeing her mother-in-law lingering at the door of the room where Er Yatou was locked, Meng Li walked over and said:
"Just ignore her until she admits her mistake."
The mother-in-law sighed and couldn't help but stamp her feet: "Her character really makes people hate her."
Meng Li said to her mother-in-law gently: "Mom, you also know that a person's personality is quite annoying, so what you usually say is unpleasant. Although your heart is good, what you say is unpleasant to listen to. You That good intention has been greatly reduced.”
Saying unpleasant words and doing well-intentioned things can be said to be a slap in the face on the surface, but in fact the discount is too big. Others would have been very warm, because some unpleasant words have left only Three points, I didn’t even feel the warmth. Instead, I was hurt by the words. I just thought of your kindness and forgave you, and didn’t care about you.
Mother-in-law: "...you mean my words are unpleasant?"
Meng Li smiled lightly: "What do you think?"
The mother-in-law couldn't help laughing and said: "You didn't ask me to become a high-class old lady and be pampered. Where can I learn some nice words to say to you? Then you asked me to become a high-class old lady and I learned some flattering words. Here you go.”
Meng Li glanced at her lightly and said, "I'm out."
Then he left.
She didn't say much to the old lady, nor did she argue with her. When she had nothing to do, she would instill some thoughts into her to see if she could get rid of her always mean attitude.
Remind her to say nice things every day. One day she will remember what she said and be able to say a few nice words, right
Once you say some kind words, you will form a habit and you will forget those harsh words. What bothers the client the most is the harsh words of her mother-in-law, which are very embarrassing.
Besides, what the mother-in-law said just now is unreasonable. Do they expect a daughter-in-law to change the poverty accumulated by their ancestors
In this era, shouldn't you count on your own son
Although she knew that she had not really expected her daughter-in-law to be so, it was surprising to say it out loud.
It took more than an hour outside to find the herbs that Ren Da needed. He also had to find some wild vegetable roots to go back to wrap his belly. I ate chicken in the morning and left some except for the second girl. The wild vegetable roots in the evening were destined to be better than other times. The wild vegetable roots are more delicious, and there is also a kind of melon piled at home.
It looks a bit like a sweet potato. The inside is white when cut and tasteless. It has no taste after being cooked. The taste is much worse than that of a sweet potato. It is very choking, but it is a bit simple and can be swallowed with the seasoning. Everyone Call it black soil melon.
Black soil melons have a bad taste and are not nutritious, but they can be stored for a long time and can last a whole winter. They are a must-have for the poor. Although they need people to grow them, they don’t taste as good as wild vegetable roots. Most people don't like to eat them. As for planting and storing them, they are worried that they won't be able to find anything to eat outside. Then they will be able to live on black soil melons.
Thinking of this pile of melons made Meng Li feel dizzy. No one in the family thought this food was delicious and had a deep fear of it. So much so that Meng Li wanted to cook some for dinner at night, but his body instinctively felt nauseated. .
So Meng Li could only look for more wild vegetable roots. She also tried to find out if there was any game she could take home, but failed. People often come and go in this area, and the small animals in the mountains are even less willing to appear in this area. .
If you go to a place like the deep mountains where no one dares to go, you will definitely gain a lot more, because there are often wild beasts in such places, ferocious wild boars, mighty tigers... These are wild beasts that ordinary people cannot afford to offend, but There is no such place in this area. Most of the mountains and forests can be visited. Although there are still some ferocious animals in the mountains, they are not as frequent as those in the deep mountains.
Meng Li wanted to make a fortune, but the client himself did not have such ability. Killing a wild boar and skinning a tiger would be shocking enough. How could any woman have such strength...
Not willing to create complications, one of the difficulties in this task is to find a way to make a fortune that fits the client's personality, but this is a bit difficult for her...
When the search was almost done, Meng Li went back with his backpack on his back. When he was almost home, he saw his neighbor washing clothes by the creek near her home, beating her heavy winter coat with a wooden stick. Her hands were red from the cold. Seeing Meng Li passing by, she smiled at Meng Li and said hello.
