Without waiting for Chen Dawen to finish, he said vigorously and cheerfully, "Uncle, aunt, I listen to you. As soon as I see you, I can feel your kindness and know that you are thinking about me. Thank you for taking me in. By the way, I
I’m not picky about food, I’m very strong, but I eat a lot, so I hope you’re mentally prepared. Also, I’m very hungry now, can you give me something to eat?”
Qin Shulan pointed to the main room and said, "Dali, go wash your hands and go into the main room and sit down. We will have lunch right now, just so I can see how much you eat."
After vigorously washing his hands, he walked into the main room without politeness and sat on a small bench.
Chen Dawen moved a small wooden table from the corner and placed it in front of Dali.
After a while, Qin Shulan brought in a basin of steamed buns, about forty of them, "Dali, eat first and rest your belly, and I'll make some dough for you."
In this era, it is a luxury to eat hand-made noodles twice a year, but Qin Shulan is enthusiastic about hospitality and is willing to serve Dali with hand-made noodles.
He thanked Qin Shulan and the others vigorously and started eating the steamed buns.
Qin Shulan went to the kitchen to make noodles, while Jiang Xin and Jiang Ying helped. Chen Dawen went out and walked towards the village chief's house.
On the way there, I had already thought of my words, no matter what, I had to get some benefits for Dali. Wild boars are not that easy to hunt...
Qin Shulan hadn't finished rolling out the dough yet, but Dali had already finished forty steamed buns.
Dali walked into the kitchen with some embarrassment and said, "Auntie, I'm still hungry."
Qin Shulan sped up her hand to roll the dough, "Dali, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Ten minutes later, the fragrant scallion oil hand-rolled noodles came out of the pan.
Dali had to eat five large bowls in a row before he was full.
Qin Shulan saw Dali's appetite and hurried towards the village chief's house, hoping that her husband had not negotiated terms with the village chief.
Today we must help Dali win the right to open up wasteland, otherwise the family will not be able to support Dali.
Fortunately, Qin Shulan arrived in time, the village chief had just arrived home, and Chen Dawen had not had time to tell the village chief.
After Qin Shulan's hard work, the village chief agreed to give Dali ten acres of wasteland on the mountain, but the wild boar was assigned to the village.
On the same day, the wild boar was carried to the village, and on the same day, Dali owned ten acres of mountain land.
Mountainous areas are difficult to open up and there are many rocks.
The stones must be dug out and filled with soil.
Qin Shulan and Dali discussed it and decided to harvest wheat first and then go to the mountains to open up wasteland after that.
Dali naturally agrees.
Chen Dawen took Dali to the crop field and showed him how to cut wheat.
Once you learn Dali, you will be able to do it, and you will have a lot of fun harvesting wheat.
Jiang Xin also saw Dali's appetite and regretted taking him in, but when she thought about his amnesia and homelessness, Jiang Xin softened her heart.
Jiang Xin continued to collect eggs and poultry. He could not guarantee that Dali would have white flour for every meal, but he could ensure that his corn flour steamed buns would be enough.
Near six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xin collected 300 eggs and two live roosters from Beixin Village, spent fifteen yuan, had a hasty dinner at his grandma's house, and prepared to go to the county hospital.
When Dali thought about the sixty steamed buns and ten bowls of mung bean soup he had eaten for dinner, he always felt that he should do something, so he volunteered to take Jiang Xin to the county seat. "Jiang Xin, I am strong and can help you carry it," he said.
Eggs, carrying the rooster."
Jiang Xin immediately refused, "You are unfamiliar with this place. If you send me to the county town, can you find a way back?"
Dali smiled shyly, "I can. It's true that I have lost my memory, but my skills are there. I have a very good memory. As long as I walk through the road once, I will definitely remember it. If you don't believe me, you can give me a book and I will read it.
After passing it, I will definitely be able to recite it.”
With the attitude of giving it a try, Jiang Xin found a book from her grandfather's house and handed it to Dali.
It took Dali only ten minutes to read through it and memorize it fluently.
Now everyone believed it.
He vigorously carried the basket on his back and two roosters and sent Jiang Xin to the county seat.
On the way to the county seat, Jiang Xin looked at Dali's profile and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't figure out where this familiarity lay.
"Uncle Dali, can I help you find your family?"
Dali looked calm, "I have no memory, where can I find my family? I'd better wait for my family to find me."
"That's right. I've been paying more attention to the newspapers recently to see if there are any missing persons notices. Usually there are photos on the missing persons notices."
"Does the Beixin Village Committee have new newspapers every day?"
"Yes."
"From now on, I will go to the village committee to read the newspaper every day. I hope I can find my family soon, so that I don't have to eat your grandma and grandpa's food all the time."
Having said this, Dali felt a little guilty.
Jiang Xin comforted, "Don't worry, I have a way to make money. I can't guarantee that you will eat well, but I will definitely make you full. When I sell these eggs and roosters, I can buy you half a month's rations."
.”
Having said this, Dali blamed himself even more, "It's so embarrassing for me, a grown man, to be raised by a teenage boy like you. Tomorrow I will take time to hunt game in the mountains. If I can catch it, I will send it to the county.
You help sell it."
Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, you should take good care of your injuries first."
Dali pointed to the injury on his forehead, "It doesn't hurt anymore. As long as I eat enough, this injury will heal quickly."
Jiang Xin's eyes fell on Da Li's wound, which was indeed much better, "How come your wound heals so fast?"
"As long as I eat enough, the wound will heal."
"Didn't you lose your memory? How could you still know..."
"I discovered it after I lost my memory. My arm was injured the day before yesterday. I caught two hares and two pheasants, roasted them and ate them. In less than a day, the wound healed, and no scars were visible."
Hearing this, Jiang Xin suddenly realized that Dali was a strange person, "Uncle Dali, you can tell me these things, but you can't say them to other people, otherwise you will be treated as an alien and ostracized."
"Can't you even tell your grandparents?"
"Yes, I can't say."
Jiang Xin was able to accept this quickly because she had been reborn. Once others knew Dali's secret, they would not be able to accept it for a while.
Dali nodded, "Okay, I won't tell."
An hour later, they arrived at the gate of the county hospital.
After Jiang Xin watched Dali leave, he took a look at the live rooster.
You can bring eggs into hospital wards, but you cannot bring live roosters.
Jiang Xin simply went to the hospital cafeteria to find the cafeteria manager.
The canteen manager happily bought the two roosters and said that if there were poultry for sale in the future, he could just send them over.
But I didn’t buy any eggs.
Jiang Xin was so happy after earning four yuan that he gave twenty eggs alone to thank the manager.
But the manager refused to accept it no matter what.
Jiang Xin always felt that he owed the cafeteria manager a favor and planned to pay it back if he had the opportunity in the future.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xin walked into her parents' ward carrying a basket of eggs and told them what happened today...
Half an hour later, Dali, who was running forward, returned to Chen Dawen's house, quietly took the sickle and walked towards Chen Dawen's field.
By the moonlight, I cut the wheat vigorously and skillfully, and the wheat was cut faster and faster.
Two hours later, he finished what was supposed to be a day's work for two people.
