When Liang Xiaonan returned home, Grandma Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I cooked porridge and sweet potatoes. Today Hongyu gave me a small bowl of bean paste."
Liang Xiaobei couldn't hide his happiness when he made money. He grabbed Grandma Liang and said, "Grandma, we sold peaches today, and Rabbit made 44 yuan."
Because he couldn't explain the fact that he caught another fish, Liang Xiaonan said to Liang Xiaobei halfway: "Don't tell grandma about selling fish today. There is too much money, and I'm afraid grandma's heart won't be able to bear it."
So the two of them tacitly gave the 44 yuan to grandma without mentioning the fish money.
Grandma Liang looked at the five big white steamed buns and two big bones and said distressedly: "Xiao Nan, fish and peaches are not available every day. You should save some of the money you earn."
"Grandma, the steamed buns were a gift from the boss of Wanghu Tower. He wanted to buy fish from my sister, so he gave my sister 5 steamed buns. The big bones were left over from the restaurant's meat removal, and my sister took them back to make soup.
"
In this day and age, brothers can become enemies just for a bite of food. How can the restaurant manager be so nice? Why would he give these two country kids free gifts?
Grandma Liang felt very uneasy.
"Xiaonan, is the manager of the hotel okay?"
"Grandma, don't think too much. I'm from the city, and all I think about is making money."
Grandma Liang's worries are not unnecessary. Wouldn't Zhang Ming just use this crooked idea? But I can't say this to Grandma Liang. If I say it, I won't even think about going to the city in the future.
With green onions dipped in bean paste, eating steamed buns and drinking big bone soup, Liang Xiaonan said to Grandma Liang: "Grandma, the roof of our house needs to be repaired and the courtyard wall needs to be built."
Grandma Liang also agreed and said: "I'll go find Jinbao and ask him to bring a few people to help put the base on."
Speaking of which, Liang Jinbao is also Grandma Liang’s nephew.
"Don't look for him!" Liang Xiaonan said, "ask Xiao Hongyu's brother to get it for us. They are very strong and can complete the base in one day."
"Yes, find Brother Daniu or Brother Erniu." Liang Xiaobei also agreed, but he didn't have a good impression of Liang Jinbao at all.
Grandma Liang said: "Then we will build the courtyard wall tomorrow and I will go to the town to cut some meat."
"Well, buy some more steamed buns and pancakes. Grandma, don't worry about it. Only when people are full will they be willing to help in the future."
"I'll go find Tiezhu later and ask him to lead Daniu to repair the wall. Xiaonan, you can do whatever you want to do tomorrow. You don't need to worry about the house. Xiaobei and I will just watch."
She couldn't help but feel sorry for her granddaughter. She didn't want her granddaughter to show up in public, but if she didn't go out, the three of them wouldn't be able to survive.
It's not like Murakami has never starved to death. In the past few years, 30% of the labor force died of starvation, and few children were born who could be raised.
Nowadays, there are still a few people who cannot survive every year.
Tie Zhu is Xiao Hongyu's father. If they and his son can come to help build the courtyard wall, Liang Xiaonan won't have to worry.
Grandma Liang went to Xiao's house after dinner. She wanted to cry as she walked. Logically speaking, she should ask her son for things like building a courtyard wall, but now Liang Dazhuang is no better than a passerby.
Grandma Liang went to Xiao's house for a long time before she came back. When she entered the door, she grabbed Liang Xiaonan and asked eagerly: "Xiaonan, it is said in the village that you beat the idiot. Is this true?"
"I hit him."
"Xiaonan, did he bully you? Grandma went to his house to scold him. Please don't do anything in the future."
Grandma Liang knew that those bachelors like Erlunzi were more disgusting than dogs in heat, and she didn't want Liang Xiaonan to have anything to do with them.
"It's okay, grandma, don't worry, he can't beat me."
"But your reputation has been ruined." Murakami now began to spread rumors that she was the living king of hell and a hag.
"No matter how bad my reputation is, what can I do? I don't live for others to see."
The next morning, Liang Xiaonan got up early, carried a basket on his back, carried a bucket, and went to the mountains. The area near the foot of the mountain had been combed countless times by the villagers. All the bark that could be broken was broken off, and all the wood that could be chopped was cut down.
The ground was so polished that no grass could grow.
If you want to find some rare things, you have to go deep into the mountains.
Without Liang Xiaobei following her, she became bolder and walked deeper.
After walking for a long time, an unknown bird in the forest called "Cuckoo" a few times, and she realized that she had gone a little far. There was a pool of water here, which was larger and deeper than the one at the bottom of the mountain.
The water plants are very lush, and the branches press the water surface.
The hillside on the sunny side was gentler and covered with grass and shrubs. She went down the path to see if there were any fish in the pool.
I looked around along the water's edge, but I didn't see any fish, but there were a lot of snails in the water, densely packed on the dead branches and leaves and stones in the water.
Collect! More than 10 kilograms of field snails were thrown into the space to raise. I was afraid of dirtying the fish, so I created a small pond in the space and raised all these snails in the pond.
On the slope, crush the two kilograms of mulberries bought from the old man and bury them in the soil on the slope. It is sunny here and there is no shortage of water. Some small mulberry saplings should be able to grow, right?
She was really an amateur in agriculture and forestry. She diluted a few drops of the spiritual spring liquid from the last small bottle with water, then soaked the seeds in it, buried them in the soil, and watered them again.
The fragrance of the spiritual spring liquid suddenly spread.
When she was going down the mountain, she felt something was wrong. She always felt that something was following her. She immediately became vigilant. She turned her face several times and looked around, but she didn't see anything.
But with my sixth sense, I feel like something is following me.
Wild beasts must regard themselves as prey, waiting to be hunted.
She sped up and ran forward, but the things behind her finally couldn't bear it anymore, and there was a sound of branches being touched.
It must be a beast!
It is said that the hunting list of wild beasts generally does not include more ferocious species like humans. When encountering wild beasts, you cannot run away. The best way is to scare them away.
She stood still and slowly turned around.
A half-grown "dog" with a very furry appearance looked at her and stopped its four chubby little furry hooves. It looked at her with two eyes, looking cute and cute.
Liang Xiaonan would not naively think that this was a dog. Whose dog would run into the deep forest? This must be a wolf.
She looked at the little wolf, but the little wolf was not afraid and took a few steps towards her with his little feet.
"Stop, don't come over. There are differences between humans and wolves. Let's go back to our homes."
Little Wolf didn't understand the lingo of going back to each house to find his mother, so he continued to approach her.
Liang Xiaonan shook his fist at it: "I have a bad temper, you'd better not come here."
"Woo~"
Hey Mao Jio Jio, are you threatening me?
Liang Xiaonan casually broke off a branch and banged it on the bucket. The little wolf was startled, turned around and ran away.
However, before she had gone far, the little thing chased her again.
"Where's your mother? Why doesn't the wolf take care of you?"
The little wolf looked at her innocently.
What do you mean? I don’t understand.
Liang Xiaonan decided to ignore it. If it really wanted to come over, the worst she could do was hide in the space.
The little wolf followed her all the way down the mountain. Liang Xiaonan said, "Didn't your mother tell you? Human beings are terrible. How dare you go down the mountain?"
As expected, the little wolf stopped and stood on the mountain looking at her, but did not follow her.
She washed the snails by the pond for a long time before washing away the mud on the surface. She released a grass carp from the space and was about to carry it home when she suddenly felt the bucket lighten.
The little wolf that had been following her suddenly jumped over, grabbed the grass carp and ran away.
It was not very big. It was holding a big grass carp in its mouth and staggered on its four short legs.
"Okay, you followed me all the way just to steal my fish? Put it down." She took a few steps to catch up with the little wolf, and took a stick to hit it.
"Woo~"
Early in the morning, there was a long and deep howl of an adult wolf!
Liang Xiaonan's scalp was numb. This wolf bastard even brought his parents with him during the robbery!
