Chapter 36 Planting a Fence

Sister Li Yu came out of the village chief's house, and it was already dark. Li Qing thought about the village chief's attitude towards his siblings and asked Li Yu when he got home, "Sister, why do I think the village chief is more polite to us than before? now, what do you think?"

   "Well, maybe he thinks we're not that bad!"

  Li Qing was thoughtful after hearing this, the siblings grabbed something to eat and went to wash up and rest.

   Li Yu got up early in the morning to go to the forest to exercise, and found that Li Qing was already studying outside the house. Li Yu thought to himself: This child must have been stimulated a bit deeply yesterday, but he knew that working hard is also a good performance.

   Li Yu did not disturb Li Qing, and quietly went to the woods to exercise for a lap to retrieve the prey. When he returned home, he found that Li Qing had already cooked the rice.

  Li Qing saw Li Yu carrying pheasant and hare, "Sister, why didn't I see you when you went out?"

   "I saw that you were reading by heart, so I didn't call you, Ah Qing, you will send a pheasant and a hare to your husband later."

   "Okay sister, I'm going to school." Li Qing put down the bowl and went to pick up the pheasant under the eaves, and left with the hare and the book basket.

   After tidying up the stove, Li Yu went to the yard to stir the bean paste again, carried the pig food to the backyard, and fed the pig before Xiao An hurried over.

   Xiao An asked Li Yu, "Sister Li, I heard that you caught two bad guys from the Zhang family the night before yesterday?"

Li Yu smiled, "Well! It's all right now, Xiao An, is your mother okay?" Li Yu asked Qian Shi to help take care of the family's fields, so that he could go up the mountain to find some chestnuts and other things when autumn came. Mountain goods.

   "Okay, she wants to find something to do."

   "Go back and ask your mother if she is willing to come to my house to work."

  Xiao An asked happily after hearing this: "Sister Li, can my mother really help you?"

   Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Really, you can come today if you want to ask her."

   "Okay, I'll go after I clean the pigpen and cowshed."

Li Yu nodded after hearing this, and went back to the forest with a **** and a back basket. He found a hibiscus flower and a clump of gardenias. They dug them out and carried them home. Starting from the vegetable field by the roadside, Hibiscus and Gardenia are planted at intervals.

   When Mrs Qian heard Xiao An said that Li Yu was willing to hire him to work, she was overjoyed and followed Xiao An to Li Yu's house. She saw Li Yu was planting flowers and trees and picked up a hoe, so she started to work.

Li Yu said to her: "Aunt Qian, if you come to help me with my work, you and Xiao An can eat at my house, and you take care of the housework and vegetable fields. I will pay you 600 yuan a month for your mother and son. how do you feel?"

  Qian saluted Li Yu gratefully, "Miss Xiaoyu, just do some housework, how can you get so much wages."

   Li Yu smiled, "Aunt Qian, the wages should be given, and Xiao An is getting older every year, so you have to prepare for him to get the money from your daughter-in-law!"

   "Xiaoyu, then thank you very much, you can rest assured that we will do things well,"

   "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll dig some more in the woods."

Li Yu went into the woods with the hob on his back. Mrs. Qian carefully planted the remaining few flowers and trees, cleaned up the weeds in the vegetable field, and took the **** to Li Yu's yard. I saw twenty or thirty sauce jars placed in the yard.

Mr. Qian approached the sauce tank and saw the oily red bean paste made by the sun in the sauce tank. He sighed, "Xiaoyu can make such a good hot sauce at such a young age, and he is a good person. My little An, who is capable, is with the right person."

Two days later, Mrs. Li came to Li Yu's house with a face full of joy and told Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, now it's done, Zhang Defa moved Zhang Decai's things, and sold the house and land to Chen Jingshui's family in the village. No one is looking for anything else."

   Qian Shi also applauded, "This is really a good thing, Miss Li, they were too vicious and moved away."

   Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Qian and said, "Sister Qian, seeing that your body and bones have improved a lot, now your family's Xiao An can rest assured."

  Miss Qian smiled and said, "Yes! I'm much better. It's all up to Miss Xiaoyu to take care of us. Otherwise, we won't be able to live long. Miss Xiaoyu is just like her father and mother, kind-hearted and righteous."

Looking at the honeysuckle, gardenias, roses and hibiscus flowers piled on the ground, Mrs. Li recalled the situation of the Li family when Li Yu's mother was still there, "Yes! Sister Xiaoyu is like his father. Mother, how good her parents were to people at that time! At that time, Xiaoyu and her mother also liked to grow flowers," Mrs. Li picked up a hibiscus flower and handed it to Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, this wasteland of your family will change in the future. It has become the garden of the landlord's house."

   After hearing this, Li Yu also imagined that by that time, the courtyard wall full of flowers and the flower wall around the wasteland should be beautiful, and he laughed, "That's good! You will come to my house to see flowers in the future."

   Li said happily, "I'll come every day then, don't bother your Aunt Li." Everyone laughed.

Li Yu searched for ten days in the woods, and he also recovered many Evergreens, and saplings of saplings, as well as some other saplings that he knew and did not know. Li Yu planted saplings at the end of the wasteland and surrounded the flowers. After planting around the wasteland and courtyard walls, they stopped going to the woods.

   That night, when Li Yu came back from bathing, he saw that the oil lamp in Li Qing’s room was still on. Li Yu felt that Li Qing had been studying hard a lot since the incident at Zhang’s house, and most of the time he was studying hard at night.

  Li Yu went to Li Qing's room, "Ah Qing, why haven't you rested yet?"

  Li Qing didn't lift his head, "Sister, I'll sleep after watching it for a while."

   "Ah Qing," Li Yu called out again, Li Qing raised his head and looked at Li Yu after hearing this.

Li Yu looked at him and said, "Ah Qing, sister thinks that studying and learning is the same as making pickles. You can't make a lot of pickles all at once, but you can make them over time. You study hard like this, and sister is also very pleased. , but you are still young, it is not too late when you are growing up."

  Li Qing thought for a while after hearing this, looked at Li Yu and said, "Sister, I understand, I'll sleep right now and study tomorrow."

  Li Yu nodded in relief, "Okay, I'm going to rest too."

  The days went on in an orderly manner, and in a blink of an eye, it was August. The villagers went to the hills near the village in groups. Everyone looked for chestnuts, walnuts and various wild fruits on the hills.

Li Yu knitted a net bag at home with hemp rope, found a small tree to bake and bent it, tied the net bag to the curved trunk to make a scoop net, carried a machete and carried a back sling, and faced the large west side alone. Qingshan went.

   Zhou Jia, carrying auspiciousness, was walking not far behind Li Yu with a medicine basket on his back.

   Jixiang saw Li Yu walking in front, "Master, you see that is Miss Li."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's vigorous posture, walked quickly on the mountain road, and then saw that he was walking out of breath, and laughed at himself, "Your young master is not as fast as other girls."

   Jixiang looked back at Zhou Jia and said with relief: "Master, she is a strong woman, what do you compare to her!"

   When the master and servant looked up again, they could no longer see Li Yu.

Li Yu climbed up the mountain ridge, watched the wolfberry forest go down the mountain to the pool, looked at the big fish swimming in the pool, took out the net bag prepared in advance, held the wooden handle and stretched it into the pool, the first net He scooped four big fish weighing five or six catties. Li Yu put the fish into the back grate, and then scooped a few nets without fail each time. The largest fish weighed a dozen catties and had silvery scales.

   Li Yu knocked the fish to death and put it into the space, and walked towards the camellia oleifera forest. When he arrived at the camellia oleifera forest, he saw that the camellia berries were about to ripen, so Li Yu turned around and walked towards the stream.
