A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 140: Getting Fired (2)
Zhao Mu liked to be called Li Xi by that when he was free, and although the latter sounded a bit awkward, he let it go, since she was his wife anyway.

"I'll go to the mountains to have a look." After eating, Zhao Mu explained to Li Xi with a bow and arrow on his back.

"Well, be careful, don't go to the depths." Li Xi didn't stop him, but just warned him carefully.

"Don't worry."

It's been so long since getting married. Zhao Mu's body has recovered very well, and he is no longer in serious trouble. He usually works in the field and goes to the mountains from time to time. Now he doesn't need the bait that Li Xi prepared. They all returned with full rewards, and after a few times, Li Xi felt relieved, but she still wouldn't let him go to the big mountains after Xiaoqingshan, because there were really blind giant pandas there, how dare she dare.

After Zhao Mu left, Li Xi added water to the cages of the rabbits, chickens and ducks. In summer, the weather was hot, and she was afraid that these poultry would get sick. The group of little things are all energetic, and they don't have to spend a whole day like others.

The rabbits I raised before are all grown up now, and Li Xi is going to sell them, so I send them to Baxiang Restaurant, but the meat quality of these rabbits is very good after being raised for so long, so the price will definitely be set a lot higher, anyway, in the end She shouldn't be disappointed.

The chickens and ducks at home are still too small to lay eggs, but Li Xi reckons that the salted eggs given to Huaisong must open the way, and it will not be cost-effective to buy eggs outside every time. Now Although there is no medicine to prevent all kinds of chicken plague, she believes that there is spiritual spring water, and chickens and ducks will not have any diseases. With such a thought in her heart, the idea of ​​expanding breeding has been formed.

The idea is good, but expansion will naturally require money and land. For the time being, this can’t be done in a short while, but the seeds are already there. Li Xi is going to find a time to discuss it with Zhao Mu. Many people will also think about it. More, more organized.

"sister in law……"

After cleaning the house, Li Xi was really going to see the soybeans and corn growing in the field behind, when he heard the sound of Ai Ai outside the door, and turned his head to see that it was the second boy.

Seeing the way the second boy was pawing at the door, it seemed that he had been here for a while, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Why don't you come in, come here quickly, my sister-in-law will bring you delicious food."

When they got married, they bought a lot of wedding candies and shared some, but they still kept a lot. When Li Xi returned to the house, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into the pocket of the second boy, and dragged him into the house by the way, patted his head and said: : "What's the matter, this is, I'm not happy to come to my sister-in-law's house."

The second kid grabbed a piece of candy but didn't eat it. He glanced at Li Xi and said with a grin, "My father came back yesterday."

Li Xi frowned. The second boy's father is not a thing. He was addicted to drinking and gambling. Life is hard to survive, and the village head has tried to mediate about it, but it is of no use.

"Is your grandma alright?" Li Xi's main concern was Grandma Yang. She was quite old and her health was not good. If she was not careful...

Look at the second boy, the six-year-old child has been malnourished for a long time, black and thin and small, he looks like a four- or five-year-old child, and his grandma is the only support for this child. manage.

"Grandma had a cough when I woke up today. I wanted to buy medicine for her, but she wouldn't give it to me, and I didn't dare to go to Lai Langzhong's house to pay on credit..." The child said in the end, his voice became softer and softer.

Li Xi also understood why the second boy came here. There were no relatives at home to rely on, so he came here after thinking about it. make a choice.

"Is your grandma just coughing?" Li Xi asked carefully.

The second boy thought about it for a while, and then nodded affirmatively: "Just cough, grandma said it was because of getting angry."

"That's fine, I'll give your grandma a candied loquat to eat, and it'll be fine once you eat it." In fact, it's not that Li Xi didn't want to get medicine for Grandma Yang. It doesn't matter whether it works or not, but it's really not cheap. She thought that Grandma Yang was also annoyed by the anger of the second boy's father, so she gave a loquat, and it would be more effective to boil it with Lingquan water.

There is a loquat tree in the vegetable field in the backyard. The leaves are good. There is no loquat this year, but it will definitely grow next year. After picking several loquat leaves, Li Xi washed them with clean water several times when he went back. , Then put it into a small pot, pour in Lingquan water and boil it slowly.

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a while." Seeing the second boy following him all the time, and seeing his serious face, Li Xi felt very distressed, and then remembered something and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"In the morning, I ate the leftover meal with my grandma. Grandma went to bed early because of her poor health. I cooked the porridge myself." The second boy said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to feed me. I'm fine. I'm fine. Hungry."

Sniffing his nose, Li Xi felt sad, a child who was only six years old, not to mention in the modern age, even now that family wants to play like a child and has no figure, so this child is young but has to take care of him Grandma rarely sees the second boy playing with other children, but most of the time she even sees him picking up some tassels in the fields.

Grandma Yang's life with her second boy was difficult. When she was young, she could earn some money from embroidery to supplement the family, but her husband died early, and later her son failed to live up to her expectations. No matter how many tears shed, her eyes were already failing. I can't do embroidery, and embroidering a few purses from time to time is very difficult. This was discovered when Li Xi was learning embroidery from Grandma Yang. Explanation fumbled.

"I'll get you some food." Sighing lightly, Li Xi patted the second kid on the head: "You, don't think too much at such a young age, even if you don't eat, your grandma still has to eat. "

There was leftovers at noon, in order not to spoil them, they were all frozen in the well. After Li Xi brought them up, he warmed them up and mixed them with tomato and egg soup for the second boy to eat. The little guy was very reluctant at first, but later I couldn't hold on anymore, so I gobbled it up after I took it.

The loquat was also boiled quickly. After the second boy finished eating, Li Xi cooked some millet porridge, and then filled the loquat syrup in a jar. After the porridge was finished, he went to his house with the second boy.

"You, why are you here, cough cough." Upon seeing Li Xi, Grandma Yang was surprised at first, but then she realized what she was doing and gave the second boy who was hiding behind Li Xi a look.

"Grandma, you should tell us when you are sick. You are getting old, so take care of yourself." While speaking, Li Xi took a bowl and poured the loquat water, and sent it up: "Where is the medicine from Mr. Lai?" Don't worry, the second kid said you got angry and coughed, so I boiled loquat water for you, drink it and see."
