The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 164 Uncle Liu's Hidden Skill

Uncle Bi rolled his eyes and pretended to be annoyed, "I didn't bring me anything when I came to the door, but instead grabbed my porridge!"

Xiaomi stuck out her tongue hotly, took a few sips while it was hot, and felt that her body was getting warmer, so she responded with a smile, "Whenever I make a good meal on weekdays, I forgot about you, old man, so I just drink a bowl of porridge from you, and my heart aches." Yes, stingy!"

Uncle Bi was not really reluctant at first, he had no children, but he treated Xiaomi as a half-daughter, and bickered like this, not to mention how happy he was.

"I'm just being stingy. If you don't like it, don't come."

"Hmph, I won't come if you invite me, but I need the help of my third uncle. If my third uncle refuses to agree, then maybe I will grow up in this yard."

While talking, Xiaomi poured two more spoonfuls of porridge for the first day of the lunar new year, and Uncle Bi hurriedly brought the crock pot directly to his side in a panic.

"Quickly, what's the matter? After you finish speaking, hurry up and leave, don't spoil my mutton porridge!"

Xiaomi put the bowl down, and smiled brighter, "It's not a big deal, but I'm going back to the grassland in the first spring of the new year. Third uncle also knows that there are many fights in that place, and there are few doctors. There is a headache, brain fever, injury and bleeding, which are not easy to deal with. If Third Uncle has nothing to do this winter, why not make more wound medicine powder, or medicine pills for treating wind-cold and dysentery, and then take it away with Chu."

"I don't have that free time. I have to deal with the medicinal materials and think about the prescription..."

Uncle Bi refused even if he didn't think about it, but Xiaomi was already prepared, "I'll provide the medicinal materials, and you can order more than a dozen prairie people as you like, and add another delicious dish I made by myself every day. How about it?"

"Uh..." Uncle Bi rolled his eyes. He was not tempted by the medicinal materials and manpower. After all, he saved a lot of medicinal materials, and the villagers were willing to help if he called out, but this daily dish was made by Xiaomi himself. …

"Well, I'm tired because of your face. Remember to make more braised pork and pork ribs, as well as spicy chicken and mutton pot..."

"No," Xiaomi pointed to his fatter figure, and smiled, "You have gained too much weight this year, and the wolves are easy to target you if you collect herbs on the mountain. In winter, you don't work hard at home, and you have to eat less Meat."

"Oh, are you a doctor, or am I a doctor? I want to eat meat!"

"I'm not a doctor, but I'm a cook!"

Xiaomi clapped his hands proudly, grinning and hurried away after eating half full.

"This damn girl, you actually control me!"

Uncle Bi blew his beard and stared angrily, but when he rushed out the door, he shouted, "Remember to ask someone to get the list of medicinal materials. Without medicinal materials, I can't make anything."

"understood!"

Xiaomi's cheerful laughter came from the north wind, which made the corners of Uncle Bi's lips twitch, and he walked in the door shaking his head...

In the courtyard of the Liu family, Uncle Liu was knocking in the shed built in the corner of the yard. There was a stove burning in the corner of the shed, but it wasn't too cold.

Xiaomi brought the first day of junior high school into the yard, but Uncle Liu didn't notice it, but Guizhi, who was strolling in the yard with his youngest son in his arms, was the first to yell.

"Xiaomi, why are you here, sit in the room!"

Xiaomi waved his hands with a smile, and replied, "Sister-in-law, I don't have anything serious, I'm going to ask Uncle Liu to say a few words."

Gui Zhi'er hurriedly went to call her father-in-law, but saw Uncle Liu greeted him wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Xiaomi was afraid that Uncle Liu would catch the wind and get cold, so he went straight into the shed.

Gui Zhi'er was curious, and because she spent most of the winter at home taking care of her children and didn't see millet often, she followed in cheekily.

Xiaomi stretched out his hand to tease the fat boy, and asked, "Have you chosen a name?"

"No, it's called 'Baozi' on weekdays. My parents said that I should ask Mr. Lu to get the name."

Gui Zhi'er took advantage of the situation and stuffed her son into Xiaomi's arms. Seeing her hugging her in a hurry, she smiled and said, "Let my son also be imbued with your aura, so that when he grows up, he will be good at studying and taking the exam."

"That should also be hugged by my third brother, I can't be the champion!"

Xiaomi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing the child's big round eyes, very agile, he liked it and said, "I also saved a few bolts of particularly soft cotton cloth, and I will ask Qinghua to send a batch over in the evening to make two small clothes for Baozi."

"Oh, it's not going to work. There are a lot of things in your place on weekdays. Let my mother know that it's time to scold me."

Gui Zhi hurriedly declined, glanced at her father-in-law for the last time, seeing that his face was not looking good, she took her son and went back to the house.

"I'm going to make tea, it's cold, drink a bowl of water to warm up."

Seeing her daughter-in-law leave, Liu Shu coughed dryly and said, "Xiaomi, are you here for business?"

"That's right, Uncle Liu knows me best. It's okay to trouble Uncle Liu, I never come here!"

Xiaomi grinned and teased himself, causing Uncle Liu to quickly wave his hands, "No trouble, no trouble, just tell me if you have something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with my poor skills."

"It's nothing serious. I'm going back to the grassland after the first spring of the new year. I'm afraid that the grassland will be chaotic and someone will bully him, so I want to make some self-defense things for him and those clansmen. I have drawn the blueprints and sent them over in the past few days, Uncle Liu. See what you can't make."

Xiaomi leaned in front of the stove to warm up, a blush appeared on his face, "I was thinking about taking it to the city, but these self-defense items are not easy to spread, so I will make things difficult for Uncle Liu."

When Uncle Liu heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally replied hesitantly, "Are you in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu. Why don't you go back to the grassland after the first month of the first lunar month? There are still two more months."

"That's it," Uncle Liu's expression softened a little, he carefully took out a tattered piece of parchment from his pocket, and said in a low voice, "My ancestors were blacksmiths, and they left behind some means. The family had to live a good life before. I only picked up a few simple hatchets. Everyone carried them up the mountain and said they were much sharper than those in the city. Since I don’t worry about these things on the first day of the new year, I’ll think about it more, maybe I can fix it come up with better ones."

In the past, the villagers always carried a hatchet when they went up the mountain or faced the enemy. Xiaomi thought it was a weapon that the villagers lacked, but it was a surprise that there was such a reason.

So he said, "Uncle Liu, feel free to think about it. There will definitely be more and more people in our village in the future, and we should build an iron furnace. Why don't Uncle Liu hire someone to help build it quickly. Iron ingots, copper ingots or other things are needed. Objects, make a list for me, and I will let someone buy it and send it over."

There was a light in Uncle Liu's eyes, and he immediately nodded in response, "That's good, I'll call for help right away."

"Well, thank you, Uncle Liu."

Xiaomi didn't stay much, almost brought it with him on the first day of junior high school. Just a few steps out of Liu's yard, Uncle Liu leaned on the wall and called Uncle Jiang next door, "Old Jiang, come and help me build the iron stove tomorrow. Where are the weapons!"

"You old boy, you will be busy in the future. Well, there is no work at home, and I will sell it to you tomorrow. Remember to control the meat and wine!"

"Okay, enough wine and meat!"

Beifeng sent the two of them laughing and cursing, causing Xiaomi to raise the corners of his lips.She was about to speak but the sleeves were pulled by the first day of the junior high school. When she turned her head and saw the young man who was much taller and stronger than when she first met her, her eyes were red at some point.

"Wo... no, no!"

Xiaomi guessed that he wanted to say that he would not go back to the grassland, so he patted his cool cheek with a wry smile, "What are you talking about? Although I don't know why you were exiled in the first place, there must be a story. Your clansmen are still waiting." You go back together, how can you stay here. Old Xiongling is too small, so small that... anyone who is ambitious can't stay, rich..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her face, which was bright just now, also dimmed.

On the first day of junior high school, I suddenly regretted it very much, why did it bring up Xiaomi's sad incident.Others don't know, but he pretended not to understand before, but he heard too much.The person who left, the person who was far away in Kyoto, the person who said he would come back but never disappeared...

"I'm going to mess around!"

Xiaomi was wandering outside, and when he heard such a muffled voice on the first day of the junior high school, he couldn't help but smiled again!

"What nonsense, if you dare to do nonsense, just wait for my second brother to beat you up!"

Xiaomi made a joke, and ended up walking home on the first day of the junior high school, "I know you said you would come back, of course. This is also your home. When is it enough to live in the grassland, or do you hate the cold over there in winter?" , just come back. If it’s been a long time and you don’t come back, I might even miss you and run to visit you!”

On the first day of the lunar new year, he yanked Xiaomi's arm with a look of anticipation.

Xiaomi was blown into the neck by the north wind, took a breath, and quickly promised, "I'm not lying to you, really, I will definitely visit you when the time comes. Don't come here to talk, it's too cold, go home quickly, and A lot of things are not arranged."

On the first day of junior high school, he showed his white teeth with a smile, turned sideways to shield Xiaomi from the north wind, and then returned to the Lu family compound.

Aunt Jiang was picking a handful of spinach, and when she saw them coming back, she poked her head out of the stove and said with a smile, "This is the first day of the new year, I have picked up money, and I laughed so hard!"

Xiaomi responded, "Ma'am, you can mention it. This kid looks sluggish. He has a good idea. By the way, let the spinach be boiled and let me mix the nuts."

"Okay, I'll pick out half a plate of peanuts in a while."

Mrs. Jiang agreed, turned around and smiled at Aunt Han who was stewing the rice, "Our millet is filial piety, you see that we can't talk to Mr. Lu on weekdays, but here Mr. Lu doesn't care, but our millet remembers to give it to you every now and then." Mr. Lu cooks a favorite dish."

Aunt Han also laughed. She had been in Lu's house for a long time, and experienced the danger together. Everyone in the village regarded her as one of their own, and Xiaomi vaguely gave her half of the backyard to take care of.She also let go a lot, and her words were not as cautious and restrained as before.

"No, the fourth girl is careful and kind, she is really a rare good girl."

"You don't know, Xiaomi was sick and almost passed away, and Mr. Lu had four fathers and sons. Life was going smoothly, not to mention how chaotic it was. Fortunately, Xiaomi survived and became smart and capable. I don't know how the Lu family is getting better. Even bringing everyone along to enjoy the blessings. If there is no millet, how can the boss marry a wife so beautifully, how can the second child run around the mountains and fields without a home, and the money for the third child to study... oops!"

Aunt Jiang stood up suddenly in the middle of speaking, and shouted, "Has Xiaomi not sent a message to the third child yet! This is a bad thing! I have to ask Xiaomi..."
