The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 215
In addition to the sleeve for the porcelain bottle, there are also several positions for inserting short daggers, and the design is very delicate.

Xiaomi picked up the porcelain bottles one by one and showed them to the first day of junior high school, and taught him how to distinguish them, then inserted them into his belt, and finally helped him tie his belt.

In the year since I came to the Lu family on the first day of junior high school, I have always ate, drank and dressed like the brothers of the Lu family, and never treated them badly. Now I have lost my childish appearance and become a heroic young man.

He is taller than Xiaomi, and his shoulders are also broad. Today, he is wearing a down vest and cotton trousers, and a loose exercise uniform outside. With a leather belt tied like this, he looks even more imposing.

Xiaomi imagined him riding a horse, criss-crossing the prairie, he didn't know how high-spirited he was, and couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

"These little things I prepared for you are for you to take at any time. Most of the rest are put in the box, and the logo on the bottle is the same, and it is easy to fill. There is only these things I can do for you. You... After you go back ,Take care of yourself."

Xiaomi couldn't bear it, hugged Chuyi heavily, and patted him on the back, "Remember, Laoxiongling is your home at any time, and I am your sister. If you don't want to live in the grassland, go back to come home."

She was talking, and was about to let go of her arms, but she didn't want to hug her even harder on the first day of the junior high school.

"it is good."

Xiaomi chuckled lightly, and patted him on the shoulder again, "After going back, practice speaking Chinese when you have nothing to do, and pretend to be dumb when we meet again, so I won't make braised pork for you."

"it is good."

Slowly let go of Xiaomi on the first day of the new year, picked up the box, opened the door silently and walked out...

In the yard, Gao Ren was squatting on a tree and chewing on a sheep's hoof.The north wind was cold, and he was not afraid of pouring the cold wind into his stomach. When the first day of the new year came out, he threw his bones, jumped down, and walked outside after the first day of the new year.

"Go with the young master, I have something good for you."

After hesitating for a while on the first day of the new year, Gao Ren was a little impatient, and slapped him on the head, "Hurry up, what are you talking about. If only you guys go back to the grassland, there will be no bones left that will be eaten by others in a few days." gone."

While talking, he was dragged away by him on the first day of the junior high school.

Xiaomi heard the movement in the room, curled her lips, and she guessed that the man would definitely have arrangements for returning to the grassland for the first time in the junior high school.But he has time to arrange the first day of junior high school, so why doesn't he have time to write a letter to her.

Another month passed in a flash, and there was not a word.When we meet in the future, we must first perform a set of "two-finger Zen" for him.

Outside the window, the cold wind that felt that there was not much time was blowing wantonly the falling night and thin snow in the yard, perhaps feeling the resentment of a woman who was impatient with lovesickness, and quietly ran away without a trace.I just don't know if it will carry this resentment to the capital, to that person's ear...

There are lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the small mountain village is naturally not as lively as Kyoto.But Laoxiong Ridge was also brightly lit up and down. When Xiaodao came back to pick up vegetables, he sent a batch of palm-sized lanterns to the naughty boys and girls in the village.

The round bamboo grate was pasted with red silk cloth, with a red string tied on the top, a long handle, and golden tassels blown on the bottom.

A small lamp holder fell out of the belly of the lantern, and a small candle one inch high was installed.

It's extremely simple, even a crude little lantern, but it makes the children all over the village go crazy with joy, and they can't wait to spread it all over the world.

Xiaomi is taking the women in the village to make glutinous rice balls. It was originally a custom passed down by the elders in the North to eat Yuanxiao.But Xiaomi doesn't like the single filling of Yuanxiao, fried and greasy.So I soaked glutinous rice, prepared bean paste, peanuts, brown sugar, and even meat stuffing, and brought the women in the village to make glutinous rice balls.

Of course, the glutinous rice balls have to be rolled, but the conditions are limited, so it is convenient.

When the women get together and chat a few gossips, it's lively.

Especially when it is the first lunar month, it is a good time to visit relatives. If it used to be that Lao Xiongling was poor, the women's natal families would never remember that there was such a girl, but now it is a big change. My aunt has found the mountain.

While the women felt elated, they couldn't help but sigh.Some are worried about whether to get closer or not.

Damei's mother is honest. She was treated harshly by her sister-in-law for several years in her natal family, but now that her brother and sister-in-law have come to her, she cried bitterly and repented, and finally wanted Damei to be her nephew's wife.She disagreed intentionally, but she couldn't say enough about her sister-in-law's quick talk, so she could only answer a few words in vain. She wanted to talk to everyone in her in-law's family but was afraid of being scolded, so she couldn't help but ask a group of sisters to come up with their ideas.

As a result, Aunt Liu was the first to get annoyed, "I usually see that you are amazing, and Xiaomi and Jiji even set up a job for Da Mei to be a praiser. How come you are so useless when you meet Da Mei's marriage."

"That's right, sister-in-law, you usually talk about how your brother and sister-in-law treated you badly after your parents passed away. It is obvious that they are wolf-hearted, and you still want to send Damei to the wolf's den to suffer. Are you going out? At that time, some snow fell in my mind."

Others also chimed in, and Mrs. Damei hurriedly waved her hand, shaking off the glutinous rice flour on the chopping board, "Damei was born by me, of course I don't want to part with it, I just... just can't say no!"

"That can't be delayed like this. Your in-laws will definitely not agree to marry Damei. If you are so vague, if your brother and sister-in-law shout out, if Damei doesn't marry, it will ruin her reputation." , How can I find good people in the future?"

Aunt Liu gave her a hard look, and said that women are infatuated with their mother's family, and they wouldn't cut off their stomachs if they didn't encounter serious problems.

For example, in the Wu family in Sanli Town, it was not one or two times to find Yingzi after the year. It was either the brother and sister-in-law who came to cry, or the mother and father who came to cry. .

But Yingzi just didn't see a single face, it was really completely cut off.

The Wu family had no choice but to stop coming.

But other women have never experienced the pain of running for their lives in the snowy night while their family members see death, so they always feel soft-hearted.

When Damei Niang heard this, she panicked, "No way, my brother said he just asked. If Damei's grandpa and grandma disagree, it doesn't count."

"Hmph, just wait and see, your brother and sister-in-law are not a good stubble."

Everyone poured cold water on Damei Niang. Xiaomi was afraid that she would face embarrassment and wanted to help her, but if she didn't have a long memory this time, she might harm Damei for the rest of her life.So, I hardened my heart and added, "I remember a book saying that most of the children who win the marriages of close relatives are fools."

"What? Is this true?"

Hearing this, not to mention Da Mei Niang, even the women were startled.Although they criticize Da Mei Niang so much, it's not that they don't agree with the kiss. After all, Da Mei Niang's brothers and sisters-in-law are not good, but their brothers and sisters-in-law or sisters are good.

If what Xiaomi said is true, then no matter how good the natal family is, they cannot be married, otherwise, if they give birth to a stupid grandson, the daughter will be ruined for life.

"Of course it's true. It's written in the book. There are still people in many places who deliberately marry wives from far away, and the children they give birth to are smarter than others."

Xiaomi vaguely did not mention the name of any book, but she has always had prestige in the village, and no one would doubt her.

Aunt Liu was thinking, and immediately thought of Lu Qian, so she said, "Xiaomi's words make sense. Others don't read them, they just talk about Xiaomi's family. Her mother was married from afar, and the four brothers and sisters of Xiaomi are the best!" so clever."

"Oh, then I'll go home quickly."

At this moment, Da Mei Niang also thought of the calculation and viciousness of her brother and sister-in-law, so she immediately threw away the work in her hand and ran home.

Aunt Liu took the opportunity to knock on everyone, "It turns out that the life in the village is not good, and everyone hopes that the girl will find a husband's house as long as she can eat and wear warm clothes. Now that the family has prepared a generous dowry, our girl can't be wronged, she must be open." Big eyes, look for it carefully. If you can’t find a good young man for a while, then it will be different for two years, and there will be no shortage of food for the family. But the daughter-in-law of the boys, regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, must be of good character. Otherwise, it will be a bad thing if it disturbs the peace of the family, and then protects the mother's family and ruins our entire village."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will save it."

"That's right, no one wants to fight like chickens and dogs, so you must pick and choose carefully."

Everyone responded, and finally sighed, "It's only been two years, and we don't have to worry about our children getting married. Instead, we have to pick and choose. It's like a dream."

"you do not say!"

Talking like this, the glutinous rice balls were soon filled with big flat dustpans, and within half an hour of being blown by the north wind in the yard, the glutinous rice balls were frozen solid.

Lu's big iron pot boiled hot water halfway, put the glutinous rice balls into the pot, stirred them gently, and when they floated and sank three times, they were almost cooked.

In the blue-and-white porcelain bowl, white, plump and round soft glutinous dumplings float quietly in the milky white soup.Scoop out a bite, the black sesame seeds, the red sugar jujube paste with envy, and the golden sesame nuts, the people who are really fragrant squinted their eyes.

A group of naughty boys and girls who came here sniffing the smell jumped happily after eating.

Even Gao Ren, who has always been fond of meat, loves this kind of sweet and soft snacks.

The women refused to eat any more after tasting it. They took their fed children and went home with a large bowl of frozen glutinous rice balls presented by Xiaomi.

Farmers have no work in winter, and usually have two meals.It's too long when you go to bed at night, adults and children will inevitably have empty stomachs, boil glutinous rice balls, four or five per person, it is enough to fill up half full.Then it has a sweet taste like a dream, and the dream is naturally full of joy and happiness.

After the Lantern Festival, the year is almost over.

Even though the snow in the mountain forest hadn't melted and the birds hadn't flown back, the prairie people at the foot of the mountain couldn't wait.

For them, no matter how good Laoxiongling is, it is not their hometown.And the dangerous grassland is their destination and the place where they should fight.

Xiaomi didn't make it difficult for the first day of the junior high school, and cooked him a good meal for three days, which made him gain weight again, and then let him go.
