At noon, the children went home one after another for dinner.
Li Xiaomian went home holding a bundle of elm branches piled with elm coins.
Damai quickly took out a basin, and the three sisters gathered around to pick elm coins.
Damai: "This Yuqian was very small yesterday, but is it so big today?"
Xiaomian: "This one blooms early. There are not many trees that bloom early. We all pick them carefully."
Xiaodao smiled and said: "Eldest sister, second sister, I know where there is a small elm tree. You don't have to climb the tree to get money from elm trees."
Damai smiled and said: "Okay, you can take us there tomorrow, and we'll pick up some elm money, and I'll steam elm money nests for you."
Xiaodao nodded happily: "Yes, eat it with garlic juice."
Seeing that they were the only three sisters at home, Xiao Mian asked in confusion: "Didn't the second uncle come home?"
Barley and Xiaodao looked at each other and smiled.
Damai smiled and said: "I'm going to the county town. My mother and second aunt are both there."
Xiaodao covered her mouth and whispered: "We went by bullock cart. They said we got a treasure. Second sister, what treasure did you get?"
The two sisters looked at Xiaomian at the same time, their eyes full of curiosity.
Xiaomian asked funnyly: "Didn't you two see it?"
Xiaodao shook his head: "When dad came back, he went into the house and called his mother and uncle. The three of them entered the house and closed the door. They muttered for a while and then went to the county seat."
Li Xiaomian was speechless.
These three adults are really good, at least let the eldest sister and Xiaodao see them.
Maybe they don't even know what dendrobium and ginseng look like, let alone the nine-death resurrection grass. They probably have never heard of it.
"Have you two seen dendrobium?" Xiao Mian asked.
The two shook their heads.
"Have you ever seen ginseng?"
The two sisters stared wide-eyed and shook their heads again.
"Then have you ever heard of the Nine-Death Resurrection Plant?"
The two of them opened their mouths in surprise, shaking their heads again and again.
Yeah, I'll just say they haven't seen it.
Xiao Mian also shook his head.
Da Mai and Xiao Dao looked at each other, then their eyes widened again.
Xiaodao asked in surprise: "Second sister, can't it be?"
Xiaomian smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's dendrobium and ginseng, or two ginseng. And the legendary nine-death resurrection grass."
"ah!"
Xiaodao jumped up with excitement.
Damai took a look outside, stood up, closed the door, and then walked back happily.
Xiaomian looked at the eldest sister closing the door and thought, "Alas!" It's true that "one family does not want to enter the other house"!
"What does dendrobium look like? Is it a stone?"
"Does ginseng really have legs and hands? Does it have eyes and ears?"
"Is the Nine-Death Resurrection Grass a fairy grass? Is it emitting purple gas or is it a colorful light?"
Xiaomian:……
In order to educate the two of them about dendrobium, ginseng and nine-death resurrection grass, she found a fire stick to make charcoal and drew the patterns of these herbs on the wooden board.
The three sisters are learning herbal medicine knowledge at home, but in the county town, the three adults are hesitant to move forward.
Li: "Didn't Dazhu and Xiaomian sell the dendrobium to Anjifang? Why don't we sell it to Anjifang too."
Li Benshan said: "We'd better ask two more families. If the one offers the most, we'll go to that one."
So, the three of them worked for a long time and finally divided into two families to sell.
The price offered by Anjifang was on the high side, but Baohetang offered a sky-high price for the large ginseng: fifty taels.
With nearly a hundred taels of silver in their arms, the three of them didn't dare to eat, so they hurriedly took the car home.
I met an acquaintance on the road and asked, and they made an excuse and said they were going to the county to have their legs checked.
With the money, he not only bought the wasteland to the east of the yard, but also bought five acres of wheat fields.
Now there are seven acres of grain fields, and everyone in the family feels different and full of energy.
The Li family in Dongtou is busy farming and growing herbs, showing a prosperous scene.
The old residence of the Li family in Xitou.
Ms. Zhao looked at her daughter with a sad face.
Why did you become possessed?
If her daughter hadn't been injured, she would have suspected that her daughter had been harmed.
But even if it is true that he is possessed by evil spirits, it is the fault of those bastards in the East.
She knew that her daughter was going to Dongtou in those days.
Originally, she didn't agree with her daughter to take action herself, because she was afraid that something would be wrong.
But my daughter didn't want to wait and always wanted to try it herself.
Why is my daughter going to the mountains and forests to do well?
He must have gone with someone.
In Zhao's hand, she tore an old piece of old clothes belonging to Old Man Li.
This was a habit she had had when she was a daughter.
As the daughter of a landlord and a concubine, whenever she was angry, she would secretly tear something to vent her anger.
He didn't dare to tear his own clothes, for fear that his mistress would find out and be punished.
You can only tear the maid's clothes or your own old clothes.
Since arriving at Li's house, she has changed this problem.
In fact, it's not that she has changed, it's that she has never been so aggrieved.
What could be unhappy about here? Who dares to make her unhappy?
Even if you are angry, is it not as satisfying to deal with those bitches as to tear off your own clothes to relieve your anger?
Zhao ripped them apart piece by piece, as if tearing the skin and flesh of those bastards.
She was sure that her daughter's illness had something to do with those bitches.
When Li Xiangjin came home from school, he looked at the rags on the ground, frowned and asked, "Mom, didn't you cook?"
Only then did Ms. Zhao become alert. It was getting dark and she had forgotten to cook.
Li Xiangjin said displeasedly: "If mother is too busy, why not buy someone to go home to help."
He is going to take the scholar examination this year, and the troubles at home have never stopped.
First, the family was separated. After the separation, his food was not as nourishing as before.
Later, the second brother broke his leg again, and this time the younger sister was stupid again.
Don't collide with anything.
"Mom, please take the time to go to the Taoist temple to ask for the Peace Talisman."
Mrs. Zhao glanced at her daughter, nodded and said she would go tomorrow.
The old house of the Li family has been purchased.
For a time, everyone in the village knew about it and there was a lot of discussion.
"Who said Mrs. Zhao bought a maid? I went to see it, and it was a maid. She was clearly a woman."
"What do you mean, mother-in-law? She looks quite young, in her thirties at most. She's just a bit ugly."
"Regardless of beauty or ugliness, Lao Li's family is considered the first in our village. Do you admit it?"
"Admit it, can you deny it? People now have slaves and maids. After all, Mrs. Zhao comes from a landlord's family, and she has the style to be the mistress of the house."
"Yes, people are born with the destiny to take care of others. In the past, Dazhu Niang and Erwang Niang were at her disposal, but when the family was separated, they simply bought a mother-in-law to take home and take care of them. It's so irritating that people are more powerful than others!"
"No, if it were me, even if I had money, I would still be reluctant to buy someone, and I would have to be waited on for everything. Wouldn't it be so hard for me to die?"
"Hehe, if you leave me alone, I will buy a beautiful woman. I will buy an ugly one and put it at home to look at others."
"What do you think? I think that woman is quite iconic."
"You old bachelor looks like a sow."
"What are you talking about, bastard?"
No matter what happened in the Li family's old house, the Li family in Dongtou pretended not to know.
Li Benshan borrowed the Li Zheng family's cattle and was busy reclaiming wasteland.
After a quick search, stones and grass roots were piled up at the base of the mountain, barely creating a row of walls half as high as a person.
The fence is too short and can't block anything, especially the chickens and ducks in the village that are free-range and have wings.
Xiao Mian suggested planting pepper trees around the fields.
The branches of Zanthoxylum bungeanum are forked and have thorns, so they can be used as a fence. It will not be a problem to keep out chickens and ducks.
There are not many Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees on Daqingshan, but there are quite a few over Walnut Valley.
Li's natal family is in Walnut Valley.
Li said: "I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow."
