During this period of time, Song Dashan was very tired from arresting people, Li Mo told him to go back to sleep quickly, and don't leave the car tomorrow morning, the most important thing is to have a good rest.
Song Dashan didn't hold back this time, and went to sleep obediently, and slept until the sun was shining on him the next day before waking up.
When Song Dashan woke up, Li Mo was talking to Qian Xianglian in the yard.
Qian Xianglian is now a frequent visitor to Li Mo's house, because she is quite eloquent, straightforward, and knows a lot of people, so she sells such ointment, and the business is very good, so she often comes to Li Mo's to get incense To sell the ointment, I used to get three or four boxes at a time, but now I get ten boxes at a time.
She came over early this morning, and first talked to Li Mo about how the two sons of Xia Lao Zhu's family secretly destroyed her family's dealer last night.
According to Qian Xianglian, now the whole village knows about it, and everyone doesn't want to take the donkey cart of Xia Laozhu's family anymore. It's because Song Dashan didn't leave the car this morning, so those who want to go to the town have to take it. Xia Laozhu's car, but now Xia Laozhu's attitude towards pulling the car is not to mention how good it is, it's like a different person.
Li Mo smiled, secretly thinking that this is the change brought about by competition.
After Qian Xianglian finished talking about this, she talked about another thing.
It turned out that the eldest girl from her natal sister's family was going to get married, so she specially asked Li Mo to dress her up.
"Sister, you don't know, the last time you went to put makeup on my elder brother's niece, the effect shocked everyone. At that time, all the children of my elder sister's family were there, and the eldest girl of my elder sister's family fell in love with her. Now When it was her turn to get married, when her mother mentioned the matter of finding a dress-up mother-in-law, she immediately shook her head and said that if she didn't want to make-up the mother-in-law, she would look for you. Her mother had nothing to do with her, so she asked someone to send a message to me Please go."
Li Mo asked: "Where is your elder sister's house? Is it far away?"
Qian Xianglian replied: "It's not too far away, it's about the same distance from my natal family, that's right, my niece is a bit special, different from ordinary girls."
Upon hearing this, Li Mo became interested, and asked, "What special method?"
Qian Xianglian pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My niece, other things are fine, but she is fat. This girl doesn't know what's going on. She gains weight even after drinking cold water. She has worked hard since she was fat. There are not many, but she just can't lose weight, and she doesn't know how to do it, this girl is really worried."
Li Mo couldn't help wondering: "Isn't it good to be fat? Don't older people like fat girls, do you think they are lucky?"
Qian Xianglian also said: "Who says it's not? It's nice to be fat, and it's so pleasing. Most people can't get fat even if they want to be fat. Who knows why this girl likes to be thin? You don't know, her in-laws treat her so well. What a satisfying figure."
Her niece's figure shows that the family is living a good life.
Li Mo thinks about it, and probably understands this girl's mentality.
This dynasty is similar to modern society, where thinness is considered beautiful, and women pursue slimness even more, which is no less terrifying than modern people. It seems that because the first generation of emperors had a thin waist, the first requirement when choosing a concubine was to be slim. All the concubines in the palace tightened their belts and drank water every day, just to pursue the lightness of their bodies. Yan's effect, this slimming trend has gradually spread to the folks, and the folks gradually have an aesthetic view of thinness. Until now, this aesthetic view has been deeply rooted.
Just like in modern society, everyone regards thinness as beauty, and women regard weight loss as a lifelong career. If anyone says that fat is good-looking, no one will listen to his nonsense.
Although people of the older generation think that girls are healthy and beautiful only if they have a bit of flesh, but no young man wants to be fat by himself, and he still loses the fat that should be lost.
This is the case with Qian Xianglian's niece.
Li Mo said: "Sister-in-law, I can't make her thinner when I put on makeup. It can only make her look thinner visually, but she should still be fat if she should be fat. After removing the makeup, she will return to her original appearance."
Qian Xianglian clapped her hands and said: "How can we not know this? She also knows it herself, but women are like this, every day they can be beautiful is a day, not to mention it is such an important day of marriage, everyone wants to change by themselves. I want to get married more beautifully, so we also understand what this girl is thinking, so we are thinking about finding you to make her happy for a day."
Li Mo nodded, "Cheng, Sister-in-law Xianglian, I don't know what day your niece is?"
Qian Xianglian said: "That day is also a coincidence, it happens to be this year's Hairpin Festival, and the meaning is very appropriate."
Hairpin Festival? Li Mo knew this festival from the memory of the original owner. This day is equivalent to the Qixi Festival in the previous life. Unmarried children are openly allowed to meet on this day, and they can even go shopping and talk together on this day. , but only if there are other people present on both sides.
As for those couples who have been married, they will go out for a walk on this day and spend a rare leisure time.
This day is very much loved by people.
No, go shopping
Li Mo suddenly grasped an important point, everyone went out to go shopping on this day, there must be a market to visit, just like the temple fair last time.
Li Mo hurriedly searched the memory of the original owner, and found that there seems to be no curfew on the Hairpin Festival every year, and this is also the only day in the whole year that there is no curfew.
On this night, there are lights and festoons everywhere, and the night market is very lively. Everyone will go out to visit the lantern festival and buy things after dark. It is as lively as New Year's Eve.
Li Mo only had in mind the Hairpin Festival in the city, but didn't know anything about the ones in the village, so she hurriedly asked Qian Xianglian, "Sister-in-law Xianglian, do we have any grand events here for the Hairpin Festival?"
Qian Xianglian also had a smile on her face when she talked about the Hairpin Flower Festival, "Yes, of course there is. Our town will hold a lantern festival, and it was very lively that night. It would be a pity not to go shopping. I, I’m going to take my family members to the town for a stroll that night.”
Unexpectedly, there is no curfew in the town and there is a lantern festival like the city. That night must be as lively as the city. After all, people in the village and town rarely encounter such a grand event all year round. I am sure every family will go to see it. There must be a lot of people at that time.
There are more people, which means that there are more vendors, which means that she has another chance to make money.
Last time the temple fair made more money at one time than in a few months. Unfortunately, the temple fair is held once a year. I didn’t expect to catch up with the Lantern Festival of the Hairpin Festival this time. This time I must seize the opportunity to make a good profit.
Li Mo's heart warmed up again thinking about it, and after saying goodbye to Qian Xianglian, she immediately went to the vegetable garden behind to find Song Dashan who was waiting on the vegetable garden.
"Brother Dashan, it will be the Hairpin Festival in a while, right?"
Song Dashan straightened his waist and nodded, "Yes, it won't be long, do you want to go to the Lantern Festival? That day I will drive a donkey cart to take you and Xiaobao there."
Li Mo knew that this person's first thought must be going to the Lantern Festival instead of making money. Why did her first reaction be that the opportunity to make money came? Could it be that she took advantage of money
Li Mo pursed her lips and said, "We will definitely see the lantern festival, but we can also take this opportunity to make some money."
Now Song Dashan knew what Li Mo meant, she wanted to set up a stall to sell balm just like the last temple fair.
Song Dashan thought about the lively scenes on this day every year in the past, and had to admit that setting up a stall on this day would definitely make money.
Song Dashan nodded, "Okay, then we will go to the Lantern Festival to set up a stall that night, there are still a few days left, we can slowly prepare."
Li Mo said: "There should be more people this time than the last temple fair. After all, it's only for one night. If you miss it, you won't be there. Everyone else will definitely come out to the lantern festival that night. We're afraid that it will be even worse than last time." busy."
Song Dashan also felt the same, and said directly: "Then we have to go to Meizi's house and invite them to help?"
Li Mo nodded, "That's for sure, without the help of Meizi and the other two, we wouldn't be able to get here."
Li Mo thinks about the balm left at home, and finds that there is not much left again. It seems that this time she has to prepare a little more in advance. Meizi and Tie Zi don't know if there is still time to come over to help make the balm.
Knowing Li Mo's worry, Song Dashan said: "It's okay, let's go to Meizi's in advance and ask them to help if they are free. If we don't have time, we can find a way. Anyway, we still have plenty of time this time."
Li Mo nodded.
The next day, after Song Dashan came back from the car, Li Mo took Xiaobao with the meat and snacks that Song Dashan had brought back from the town, and the family headed towards Meizi's house.
When I arrived at Meizi's house, I smelled a strong smell of medicine before I entered.
Song Dashan and Li Mo were both startled, they rushed into the room and saw Meizi coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of medicine.
Seeing Song Dashan and Li Mo coming, Meizi was a little surprised, "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Song Dashan looked at the medicine in the girl's hand, and said worriedly: "What's going on? Why are you taking the medicine?"
Hearing that, Meizi's surprise disappeared quickly, and turned into a deep bitterness, and her eyes turned red, "It's Tiezi, who went hunting this time and was injured again."
Li Mo: "Are you okay? Is the injury serious? Take us to have a look."
Mei Zi hurriedly said: "The shoulder was scratched by that beast. The doctor said that it needs to be recuperated for a month. During this time, don't touch the wound. You can only go hunting after the wound has healed."
When it came to hunting, Meizi's face withered again, and her eyes were full of sadness.
Li Mo and Song Dashan followed Meizi into the room, and saw Tiezi leaning on the bed in his unlined clothes, playing with Xiaoshu.
Seeing Li Mo and Song Dashan, Tie Zi quickly stopped what he was doing, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you here?"
Meizi stepped forward to put away the stone in Xiaoshu's hand, and said reprimandingly: "Xiaoshu, mother has told you several times that daddy's shoulder is injured and he can't touch the wound. You always let daddy play with you. will meet."
Xiaoshu bowed her head in shame after being told, and obediently admitted her mistake: "Mother, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it in the future."
Seeing his son's pitiful look, Tiezi also explained: "Meizi, I can only move my left shoulder, not my whole body. My right hand can move completely."
Meizi gave them a blank stare, "You two, I can't handle it anymore."
Both father and son lowered their heads in shame.
Li Mo was a little funny looking at the father and son, but now she was relieved to see that Tie Zi was fine.
Meizi hasn't made lunch today to cook the medicine, so she is going to make lunch right away, Li Mo follows along, leaving Song Dashan and Tiezi to talk together.
In the kitchen, Li Mo asked Meizi: "Has Tiezi been injured before?"
Speaking of this topic, Meizi couldn't help but turn ugly, "We hunt for a living, and injuries are commonplace for parents. Tiezi has been injured many times over the years."
Li Mo: "Then are all the people here like this?"
Meizi sighed: "That's not always the case. The mountain people have no land, so they can only rely on hunting for a living. Even if they are easily injured, they have to do it. My father-in-law's body was broken early because of too many injuries. Go early, sister-in-law, I'm really afraid that Tie Zi will be like father-in-law, so what should I do?"
Meizi's eyes turned red as she spoke.
Li Mo frowned, feeling worried about this matter.
Mountain people depend on hunting for a living, and it is indeed very dangerous. They often deal with mountain birds and beasts. How can they never be injured
But the mountain people have no land, and they have no money to buy the fields and houses outside. Even if they have money, no one will sell them to you, so they can only maintain the status quo. What else can they do besides hunting as mountain people from generation to generation?
She really wanted to help Meizi and Tiezi, but their family hadn't gotten out of the predicament yet, so there was nothing to talk about helping.
Is there any other way to help Meizi and Tiezi? Li Mo stared at the stove and fell into deep thought.
Before Li Mo could think of anything, Mei Zi interrupted her thoughts, "Sister-in-law, are you and my brother here today for something? Tell me quickly."
Li Mo couldn't open her mouth right now, Tie Zi was hurt, how could she ask them to help? So Li Mo shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just came to see you."
Mei Zi didn't believe it, and asked: "Sister-in-law, you must have something to do, why didn't you tell? Could it be that you didn't tell because Tie Zi was injured?"
Seeing that Meizi insisted on asking, Li Mo thought about it and said, "The annual hairpin festival will be in a few days, your brother and I plan to set up a stall in the town to sell balm this time, just like last time, I asked you and Tiezi to help, but now that Tiezi is injured, we will definitely not be able to ask you to help again."
It was only then that Meizi remembered that a few days would be the Hairpin Festival, and she didn't even think about Tie Zi's injury these days.
Thinking of making so much money from the last temple fair, Meizi immediately said: "Sister-in-law, there must be more people at this lantern festival, and the income must not be less than last time. This opportunity must not be missed, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about us, Tiezi can't do it." I can live, I have nothing to do anyway, I will help you, take Tie Zi and Xiao Shu with me, and just give them a bite to eat."
Li Mo hesitated: "This is not good, Tie Zi was injured after all, you should take good care of him at home."
Meizi shook her head, "Sister-in-law, you don't even know how painful it is for him to rest at home, he can't stay at all, if he has to go out, why not take him with him and let him watch the two children, he is still All right, let's do the work."
Li Mo still hesitated.
Unexpectedly, when Tie Zi heard about this during the meal, he immediately strongly asked to help together. He didn't want to stay at home every day and do nothing.
Song Dashan thought for a while, and said to him: "That's fine, you can't work, just watch the two children, and leave the rest to us."
Tie Zi nodded, "Okay, I'll help look after the two children, it's simple, it won't affect the wound at all, so don't worry."
The matter was settled like this, Song Dashan asked Meizi and Tiezi to pack up immediately, and followed them back to the village in the afternoon.
So, that day, the family of six went back to Daoyuan Village together.
