A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 144 Trustworthy (2)
The vegetables in the backyard grew again under Li Xi's daily watering, and she picked pickles for pickling, which is a very important income for the family now.

In fact, what Li Xi prefers to pickle are salted eggs, but the chickens and ducks at home haven’t grown yet, so I can make some money buying eggs from other people’s homes and pickling them, but I always feel that it’s not worth it. After thinking about it, I’d better concentrate on salting The pickles are ready, take your time with the rest.

"I am back."

Every time Zhao Mu came back from the outside, he would yell. Li Xi really liked this feeling, because it made her suddenly realize that she was no longer a simple person, and it was always the most heart-warming.

"What did you bring back?" Li Xi asked in surprise when he saw what Zhao Mu was holding.

"Just now I was washing the mud off my body on the other side of the river, and I just caught a few big fish. Let's eat fish soup today." It has a unique umami taste.

Li Xi's own cooking skills are really not very good, at most they are home-cooked dishes, but the dishes in the backyard are fresh and tender, and they taste very good when cooked. The meat is now natural and green, and the taste is not bad. She also cooks it in normal times. Put some spiritual spring water in the soup, just to enhance the taste, which makes Zhao Mu often shout that the taste is good.

"Not at noon today, the food is ready, and the evening is fine." Li Xi took the fishway.

Zhao Mu didn't care, nodded and said, "That's fine, it's up to you."

Putting the fish into a large water tank in the yard to raise them, Li Xi poured cold water to wash Zhao Mu's face, and then went to the kitchen to serve all the meals, ready to open.

Now the weather is hot, Li Xi asked Zhao Mu to rest for a while before going to the field after eating. There is not much land at home, and there is not much work, but because of the lack of land, Zhao Mu meant to work carefully, so he had to work hard. Taking care of the few acres of land, these few days I wandered around the fields whenever I had time, watering and pulling weeds to take care of them.

"Sister-in-law, does my weaving look good?" During this time, the little girl Xiangcui really came to visit the house quite often. Li Xi liked this child very much, and taught her how to tie the net carefully. Usually, when there is nothing to do in the afternoon, this girl I just brought silk thread from home and sat for an afternoon.

After Xiangcui typed one, she showed it to Li Xi, and the latter praised her without hesitation: "It's really ingenious. You only have a few days of hard work, and the type is getting better and better. This one will definitely sell for a few pennies." Woolen cloth."

Seeing that Xiangcui seemed to have won some kind of reward, he happily put the tied net in the small wire basket he was carrying, Li Xi sighed silently, and then said after thinking of something: "Xiangcui, your brother well enough."

Xiangcui's elder brother has the sequelae of polio, his body is not very coordinated, and he almost never leaves home. Li Xi knows that her family is not easy, so he only asked this question when he thought of it.

"My brother's legs and feet are not good and he stays at home all day, but he is in good spirits." Xiang Cui also thought of her brother's situation, her face was a little disappointed: "My father wants my brother to go around, don't be bored at home all the time, But he just didn’t listen, he carved wood at home with a knife all day long, and didn’t speak.”

Li Xi guessed that Xiangcui's brother should be a little autistic because of his own reasons. This is helpless. Polio is a disease that cannot be cured even in modern times, let alone in ancient times when medical treatment was backward, especially here Farm life is not good, and there is not much spare money for medical treatment. Isn't Zhao Mu a good example.

"Your father is right, let your brother move his body more when he is fine, otherwise his body will be even worse." Li Xi suggested sincerely.

Xiang Cui frowned, and then looked at Li Xi in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you see that brother Zhao Mu is healed, everyone said that you bought good medicine from the genius doctor, I don't know if there is any, my brother's disease..."

Li Xi was in a dilemma, Zhao Mu's illness was more like an injury than an illness, but Xiangcui's elder brother was different, it was a disease, and spiritual spring water was not a panacea, it could only improve certain aspects, She couldn't accept it, so she could only shake her head: "It's not that my sister-in-law doesn't help, it depends on the right medicine. The medicine I bought at the beginning was specially for your brother Zhao Mu's head, and your brother's problem is your legs. together."

Xiangcui also thought of this for a moment, and when Li Xi mentioned it, she knew that she was reckless, she lowered her head and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I, I was just talking nonsense."

Li Xi couldn't see her like this, so he quickly took her hand: "Okay, I'm not angry, you are just thinking about your brother, but although I am not a doctor, I also know that no matter what, I don't just sit down alone. Don’t move, your brother’s legs and feet are not good, so you should move more, or the muscles on your body will be damaged because of not moving, and it will be even more troublesome.” She couldn’t speak professional terms, and she was afraid that Xiangcui wouldn’t understand, so she could only So explain.

"Well, sister-in-law, you are right." After being comforted like this, Xiaonizi also recovered her mood.

"Do you want to bring something to the town tomorrow?" Zhao Mu asked Li Xi at the end of the night.

"There is nothing lacking in the house, you just look at it yourself." After thinking for a while, Li Xi didn't think there was anything wrong, and said without raising his head.

It was getting dark and seeing Li Xi still busy working under the lamp, Zhao Mu felt distressed: "It's very late, I'll fix it tomorrow, don't burn my eyes."

Li Xi is embroidering a purse. He feels that he has learned for a few months and is good at the craft. Now he has not only made nets, but also brought a lot of purses back to embroider. Purses are more profitable than nets. A dozen nets add up It's only a few pennies, but a purse is worth ten pennies, and there are a dozen or twenty pennies that are well embroidered.

"Don't worry, it's just this one, I just finished embroidering and made up ten." Li Xi was short of this one, and he had to finish embroidering anyway: "It just so happens that you take one with you tomorrow."

Zhao Mu was very distressed and felt guilty in his heart. Looking at the figure busy under the lamp, he felt uncomfortable. The key point of a big man making his woman so busy for the family was that he felt that he was of no help, no matter from any source. On the other hand, he felt uncomfortable.

"Xi'er has worked hard for you."

Just finished the last stitch. Listening to Zhao Mu's words and seeing his expression, Li Xi couldn't help but smile: "You know you love me, so you should work hard to make me live a better life."

"It will." He said firmly.

"Well, I know." Some men's words are believable.
