Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

When they got home at noon, Li Yunshan and his two men were indeed back. They were eating steamed buns with salted green onions. It looked like they had just come back not long ago.

Mao Xiaosui said to Zhao Hui, "I just met Liu Qingqing."

Zhao Hui stopped eating the buns and stared at her blankly.

Mao Xiaosui looked a little funny. Zhao Hui had grown a lot in the past six months and got stronger, but he looked even more silly.

"You should go visit her during the Chinese New Year. She must miss you a lot since you are so busy."

Zhao Hui said "hmm" and smiled sheepishly, "I'll be there in the third grade of junior high school."

"The Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow." She said, "Brother Ding is still asking about Pingshun today."

"We will come back together the day after tomorrow." Li Yunshan said, "I asked him to come back, but he said he wanted to see the rabbit but he didn't want to."

Mao Xiaosui frowned, "Did he put too much pressure on himself?"

Li Yunshan didn't know either. "It seems to be quite an idea."

Mao Xiaosui was a little worried. It was one thing to ask him to help, but he was a child after all, and the original intention was just not to make him anxious in the future.

"I think he is quite happy." Zhao Hui said, "He quite likes to stay there."

Li Yunshan also nodded, "He breaks branches every day, plays with the dogs, feeds the rabbits, and cooks by the way. He looks very happy."

"Then let him go." Mao Xiaosui didn't worry anymore, as long as he was happy.

After dinner, the two of them had to pack the rabbits and leave again. Mao Xiaosui packed the shoes he bought for them.

Li Yunshan called Heizi and said, "I took Heizi away and let him look after the house on New Year's Eve. We won't be back tomorrow. We may or may not go to the county."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "You can also take another one away from the backyard and put it directly in the fence without tying it up. Since the courtyard wall is high and there are dogs, no one will get in."

She asked again, "Do you want to build the house inside the courtyard wall or outside?"

"Inside." Li Yunshan said, "There is a row of space next to the warehouse for putting grass. When the time comes, just spread the grass and pile it up."

Mao Xiaosui said "Yeah" and said, "Be careful on the road."

Li Yunshan stared at her and said with some reluctance, "You should go back too."

Li Ruyi pouted with an unhappy look on her face, "Dad is partial. You only ask Mom every time and don't ask about Ankang or me at all."

Several people were amused, and Li Yunshan hugged her up, "Then Ruyi, go inside quickly, don't freeze."

Li Ruyi was satisfied, she hugged Li Yunshan's face and rubbed it, "Daddy, I will miss you."

Li Ankang looked up, and when Li Ruyi was put down, he immediately stretched out his hand to hug him.

Li Yunshan hugged each other for a while and glanced at Mao Xiaosui before leaving.

"Mom..." Li Ankang called her.

Mao Xiaosui responded, retracted his gaze from Li Yunshan, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Will daddy buy me a gun?"

Mao Xiaosui was happy, "Then why didn't you ask your father just now?"

"I don't know if your father will buy it or not. He is so busy this year. What if he forgets."

"It's okay." Li Ankang said, "As long as dad comes back."

Mao Xiaosui was a little relieved, "You sound so enthusiastic, let's go..." She said, "We should also prepare for New Year's Eve."

The red lanterns at home have to be hung up, the chickens have to be killed, and some snacks have to be made.

"I also want to build a snowman." Li Ruyi said excitedly, "The snowman my mother built is the most beautiful."

Mao Xiaosui went to take out the lanterns, and hung two at the entrance of the courtyard, one in each of the four rooms of the house, one on the pepper tree, and one at the entrance of each courtyard.

After hanging the lantern, she went to kill the chicken with a knife.

Li Ruyi is responsible for holding the bowl.

The chickens at home have been eating a lot intermittently these days, plus the ones taken away from the farm, there are only six left in total, four laying hens for next year and two for New Year.

She killed both of them, plucked them as usual, and then ironed them to remove the entrails.

It was almost dark after cleaning up, so she saved the most breast meat from the chicken, cut it into two pieces crosswise from the middle, marinated it with a small amount of sesame oil, pepper and salt, chopped the rest and put it in a pot for cooking tomorrow.

After braised a rabbit and finished the meal, I asked the two children to wash up first, and I dug half a basin of beans and soaked them in water.

_

When she woke up in the morning, the village was very lively. When she went to pour the night basin, she saw Wang Shi coming up from the slope and calling her aunt from afar.

Mao Xiaosui responded and asked him, "Isn't it cold this morning?"

Wang Shi smiled and asked, "Are Ruyi and Ankang awake?"

"Washing up."

Wang Shi said, "I'll go see them."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and came out of the hut to light a kang and feed the chickens and rabbits.

By the time she finished cleaning up and entered the house, Wang Shi was no longer there, and Li Ankang had something bulging in his mouth.

Mao Xiaosui clicked on his head and asked, "What should we eat?"

Li Ankang opened his mouth, revealing the bright red fruit inside.

"I eat candied haws on a stick in the morning."

"My brother gave it to me," Li Ruyi said.

"Wang Shi?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

The two nodded.

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised. Wang Shi rarely came up, especially after what happened last time, Mao Mingzhu didn't even come.

"He gave the candied haws and left?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

The two nodded.

She didn't say anything else. In her impression, Wang Shi had always been very good, especially when the family broke up later. Yang Cui always blamed Wang Shi intentionally or unintentionally, which made her look even more pitiful.

After washing the handles, she went to the kitchen to cook chicken and killed a few rabbits and chopped them into pieces.

Pour a can of sesame oil into the pot and fry the rabbit bit by bit until browned, take it out and sprinkle a layer of salt and pepper powder evenly.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang love fried rabbit and can't stop eating one bite after another.

After frying the rabbit hair, take out the soaked beans and fry them until the skin cracks and the beans are soaked in fat and crispy before taking them out.

There isn't much sesame oil in a pot, but with fried rabbit meat and fried beans, there isn't much left in the pot.

She took the marinated chicken from last night and fried it directly in the pot without coating it in flour.

After a while, Li Ruyi and Li Ankang were full.

Mao Xiaosui also ate some and saved the rest for tomorrow's New Year's Eve.

Li Ruyi was so full that she kept burping and said with a smile, "Mom is so awesome, she can do anything."

Mao Xiaosui was very impressed by the praise and told her, "Next year I will give you croquettes."

"Can't it explode this year?" Li Ankang's eyes widened.

Mao Xiaosui's oily hand stopped playing him and explained, "There is no meat this year. You said you eat steamed buns, dumplings and meat pies. No amount of meat is enough. When we raise a pig next year, you want to eat it." whatever."

"Okay." Li Ruyi jumped up happily, hugging Mao Xiaosui and acting coquettishly, "Mother is the best mother in the world."

"Flattery." Mao Xiaosui scratched her nose. "The Chinese New Year is coming soon and I won't let you write. Go back and warm up. Mom will be here after cleaning up the oil pan."

The two of them left obediently. After cleaning up the oil pan, Mao Xiaosui took the fried food to the main room, stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove and went back to the house to warm up.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang were happy as soon as the Chinese New Year arrived. Mao Xiaosui sewed two small money bags with cloth for them, and each took ten copper plates to put in them, which were considered as lucky money for them this year.
