Liu Zhimo saw a large piece of juicy mushrooms, and his exhaustion was swept away. He walked to Li Qingling and asked her which hairy nests were edible
Li Qingling squatted down and taught him how to identify mushrooms. Some mushrooms are similar, but they are poisonous and cannot be eaten. You must look clearly.
There are a lot of mushrooms here, and it didn't take much time for the two of them to fill up their backs.
Looking at these mushrooms, Li Qingling picked up the basket and turned to ask Liu Zhimo if he would come tomorrow? She wants to pick some tomorrow and go home to dry them, and eat them whenever she wants, without fear of spoiling them.
"Tomorrow is the day for the market, I'm going to the town." He finished copying the book and wanted to take it back to shopkeeper Xing.
"Going to the market?" Li Qingling's eyes flashed. She also wanted to go to the town to see if there is anything that can earn money. The family has no money, and even if she wants to buy oil, she can't afford it. "Could you call me when you go tomorrow?" ? I want to go to town too."
Liu Zhimo nodded: "Okay, but I have to walk, and the time has to be early." The family is in trouble, so in order to save a couple of ox carts, he can only choose to walk.
I still remember the first time he walked to the town. He walked for three hours, and the soles of his feet were covered with blisters. After that, he got used to it and the speed was much faster.
As for walking, Li Qingling said that there is no problem at all, even if she wants to take a car, she has no money!
Now she has a deep understanding of the saying that a penny can kill a big man, and it really doesn't work without money.
"As long as you have no problem!" Liu Zhimo adjusted the straps of the basket, "Let's go, go back."
He was so tired when he came here with an empty basket on his back, and he was very worried when he went back with such a heavy basket on his back.
Li Qingling obviously also considered this point, so when he went back, he walked very slowly, and stopped to rest from time to time. Liu Zhimo's heart warmed because of his consideration for her.
He remembered his father asking him before he died of illness, would he marry Li Qingling
At that time, he guessed what his father meant, nothing more than to help his three brothers and sisters find a backer.
So he didn't have much opinion, and nodded immediately, but since he was a child, he watched his father and mother live a loving life, and he thought about marrying a literate wife in the future, but the reality is not like this, deep down in his heart There will inevitably be some regrets.
At this moment, there is no such regret in his heart. He feels that it is good to have a wife who can support each other and be considerate of him!
"Huh..." Li Qingling suddenly put down the basket, ran to a tree and squatted down, Liu Zhimo didn't know what she was going to do? Ask her what's wrong
She didn't answer him, but she was digging the soil with her hands. He had no choice but to go to her and saw her digging a weed.
He also squatted down, and wanted to help her, but she stopped him, "Hey, don't move, I'll do it, this is a good thing, it's only worth digging out."
Hearing this, Liu Zhimo had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and stood aside to watch her digging carefully. After digging for a quarter of an hour, she excitedly dug out the weeds.
"Look, it's wild ginseng." She held up the ginseng in front of him to show him, "I'm lucky today."
Although the year is only over 20 years old, it is still worth some money. Tomorrow, I will go to the market and sell it in the town. With the money from the sale, she can buy some oil and rice to eat at home.
It is indeed ginseng. He bought it for his parents when they were sick, but...
"How did you meet?"
Li Qingling carefully put the wild ginseng into the back basket before answering, "I used to go hunting in the mountains with my father, he taught me." Then, he picked up some pine needles to cover it, and put willow Zhimo's back basket was also covered, so if people saw it like this, they would only think that they were carrying pine needles, and would never think that there were mushrooms under the back basket.
Liu Zhimo was convinced by Li Qingling's words. Uncle Li is indeed a good hunter. He often goes to the mountains, so it's not surprising that he knows some herbs.
The two went back on the road, stopping and going, and when they reached the shallow forest, they happened to meet Mrs. Lin who was going up the mountain to collect firewood. She saw Li Qingling carrying a basket, and immediately walked over, "Little Ling, what are you carrying?"
Disgust flashed in Li Qingling's eyes, and she called out to her aunt, and dodged her protruding hand, "Hug some pine needles."
Lin's dissatisfaction flashed, she stretched her head to take a look, and it was indeed pine needles, curled her lips, and looked at Liu Zhimo ambiguously in a blink of an eye, "Little Ling is different when he is engaged, and he picks up pine needles together."
Li Qingling hated Lin's gossiping face the most. She was the one who liked to gossip everywhere in the village. Now that she saw her with Liu Zhimo, she would spread shameless gossip everywhere in the village.
Although she didn't care much about those words, Mrs. Zhao did.
"He is my fiancé, so he should help my family with some work." Li Qingling smiled and replied openly, "By the way, big aunt, when will Sister Baozhu get engaged? Didn't a younger generation come to see her a few days ago? Is it done?"
Li Baozhu is her big cousin. She is fat, lazy, eats a lot, and lives up to her name of "pig". She is fifteen years old this year and has not been engaged. Every time people who come to see her, they see her If you look as fat as a pig, you won't have anything to say.
This matter has become a headache for Lin's heart, and Li Qingling's face is not good-looking when she provokes her pain so carelessly.
"What kind of handsome young man, don't be silly, and ruin Baozhu's reputation." Lin yelled at Li Qingling.
"Isn't it? I clearly heard my grandma say that the village next door..."
"You heard it wrong, it's nothing." Lin interrupted Li Qingling loudly again, she turned around and picked up a load of firewood and walked down the mountain quickly.
After this experience, I think Mrs. Lin will not spread bad words about her.
In a blink of an eye, Li Qingling turned to Liu Zhimo who was looking at her with a smile, shrugged his shoulders, and said innocently: "You have to be like this for a person like her, otherwise, she won't know the pain."
Liu Zhimo hummed with a smile and said he learned it.
Li Qingling: "..."
Back home, as soon as Li Qingling saw Mrs. Zhao, she dragged her into the house, pulled apart the pine needles, and carefully took out the wild ginseng.
"Mother, look, I dug up a wild ginseng, and I plan to take it to the town to sell with Brother Mo tomorrow, so that I can buy some rice and come back."
After eating mushrooms for several days in a row, she was a little afraid of eating, and urgently needed some rice to change her taste.
He looked at Mrs. Zhao's stomach again, and if it was sold well, he would buy some meat to feed the baby in his stomach.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the wild ginseng and then at Li Qingling in surprise, "You girl is lucky, you have dug it all up, since you dug it up, it's up to you to decide!"
"Wow, sister, you are really good." Li Qingfeng raised his head and looked at Li Qingling admiringly, "Sister, are you really going to town tomorrow?"
His eyes showed his desire to go too. When his father was still there, he took him there twice. He remembered that the town was very lively and there were many things for sale. If he didn't buy things, he could just go and have a look.
The longing in Li Qingfeng's eyes is so obvious, it's impossible for Li Qingling not to see it. After thinking about it for a while, besides selling wild ginseng tomorrow, she will go to the town to see what can earn money, so it should be fine to take him with her. So he satisfied him, "If you can get up tomorrow morning, I will take you there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingfeng rushed over happily, hugging her neck tightly, "Sister, thank you, I will definitely wake up very early."
Mrs. Zhao was a little worried, "Why don't you go Xiaofeng, there are so many people in the town, it's quite chaotic."
Li Qingfeng's face collapsed in an instant, he was afraid that Li Qingling would not take him after listening to Zhao Shi's words, so he quickly said, "Sister, I will follow you obediently, I promise not to run around, just take me there!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't take you there!" Li Qingling glanced at him, then raised her head to appease Zhao Shi, "Mother, don't worry, brother Mo and I will hold Xiaofeng tight."
"Mother..." Li Qingfeng took Zhao Shi's hand again, and called her coquettishly.
Thinking of You Zhimo's presence, Mrs. Zhao nodded, and Li Qingfeng became happy again.
He was so happy that he couldn't stop talking all night, it was Li Qingling who threatened him to go to bed quickly, and would not take him if he didn't sleep, so he obediently shut up and went to sleep. When Yinshi came, he automatically woke up, and even pushed Li Qingling to wake him up.
Li Qingling almost threw this grinder out, she glanced at the still dark sky, gritted her teeth and asked him why he got up so early
He blinked and said that Dad used to get up so early to go to the market.
She took a deep breath, covered his eyes with her hands, and let him continue to sleep, waiting for Brother Mo to wake him up again.
"Can…"
"If you don't sleep, I won't take you there." Li Qingling could only use this trick to threaten her, she was still very sleepy, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with him.
Qingfeng Li flattened his mouth aggrieved, "Alright then!"
It didn't feel like she had slept for long, Liu Zhimo came to her house to call her, she was still in a daze, but Li Qingfeng got up abruptly, answered loudly, and then stretched out his hand to push Li Qingling.
"Sister, sister, brother Mo is here, get up quickly."
This brat...
Li Qingling sighed, and got up resignedly to his fate. It was not easy to wake up in the middle of the night to go to town.
She combed her hair, ran out to wash up quickly, wrapped the wild ginseng in a handkerchief, put it in her sleeve, carried the basket on her back, and was instructed by Mrs. Zhao who woke up before taking Li Qingfeng Follow Liu Zhimo to the town.
Li Qingfeng asked Liu Zhimo excitedly at first, but after walking for two hours, he became exhausted. He grabbed Li Qingling's hand and kept calling his sister.
It's pretty good to be able to hold on for two hours, and Li Qingling didn't force him anymore, she let him go into the basket, and she carried him away.
Seeing Li Qingling's small body, Liu Zhimo suggested that he carry Li Qingfeng. This time, Li Qingling refused, "It's okay, I'll carry it. He's very light."
Seeing her persistence, he didn't force her to do so. He only asked her to replace her with him if she got tired.
Li Qingling hummed, but she never yelled that she was tired all the way. Liu Zhimo was afraid that she would be brave, so if she wanted to change his back, she said no.
Although she is small, she has been used to doing farm work since she was a child, Qingfeng Li's weight is really not a problem for her.
At the gate of Mao'an Town, Li Qingling put down the basket and shook Li Qingfeng who had been asleep for an hour, "Xiaofeng, wake up, we're in town."
