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

She didn't know what time it was when she woke up. Li Yunshan got up when he saw her waking up and asked, "Are you going to catch fish in the afternoon?"

"Go, we've sold out all the mushrooms at home. We need to dig more for the winter and catch more fish. We'll make fish for dinner then. We have enough oil at home, so we don't need to buy it for the New Year."

Li Yunshan had no objection, got dressed and went to the yard to look for food.

Mao Xiaosui went to the hut, and after coming out, he went to the chicken pen.

There was a lot of grass thrown into the basket in the shed. She threw a bundle of grass seeds in. When she returned to the front yard, she saw the door of the side room was open. She walked in and saw the soap she made last night on the table. paste.

The soap was still in the wooden box. Li Yunshan came back with a sewing basket in his hand and explained, "I forgot it this morning."

She nodded, brought the soap to her nose and smelled it. She could smell a faint smell of moxa leaves, but the smell of plant ash was barely covered. Even the smell of lard was not noticeable.

Li Yunshan smiled and said, "I've smelled it. Your method of soaking mugwort leaves in oil works well."

Feeling relieved, she took off the baffles on both sides of the wooden box and put the soap on the table for him to cut with a thread.

The small wooden box was cut into six pieces, and the cut edges were still a little soft. Li Yunshan spread the cloth bag on the table and put the soap paste on it to dry.

At the venue, the village chief's family was taking off beans and went up the mountain. Mao Xiaosui asked puzzledly, "Why do so many people in the village chief's family still grow beans and sell them for money every year?"

"Beans are more economical to eat than millet. Many people in the village grow beans for eating."

"Is it because it tastes bad?"

Li Yunshan nodded.

The woman in the village on the mountain was already digging for fungi. She said hello and planned to leave with Li Yunshan. Then Su Qiu asked, "Are you going to catch fish? Let my Li Xing follow you..."

Neither of them paid attention to her and went straight up the mountain.

It was still the same on the mountain. There were two fish in the fishing net they made. Li Yunshan went to the trap as usual. After Mao Xiaosui put the fish in the bucket, he went to dig for fungi. After a while, he listened to the rustling of the leaves and raised his eyes. I saw Li Yunshan coming back empty-handed.

He took off his shoes and went straight into the water. Mao Xiaosui didn't care and concentrated on looking for fungi.

As time passed, the forest became dark, and the buckets brought were filled with fish and shrimps.

Li Yunshan put on his shoes and walked over to help dig out some fungi. After the basket was full and washed, he urged her, "Let's go down and make fish soup."

"You really don't get tired of drinking."

"It tastes good." Li Yunshan got off first and stood below, reaching out to pick her up.

After going down the mountain, the venue was empty, and the villagers' chimneys were emitting white smoke.

When he got home, Li Yunshan moved the water tank out of the grain house, poured the fish into it, and found a wooden board to block the top half of the water tank.

Mao Xiaosui dried the mushrooms and said to him before entering the kitchen, "You go and carry two buckets of water, and I'll cook."

Li Yunshan responded and carried the bucket out of the door.

She killed the fish, fed the offal to the chickens, threw in some grass, and picked a handful of green vegetables and onions when she came back.

Su Qiu came first before Li Yunshan came up. Mao Xiaosui didn't invite her in, but just asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Su Qiu laughed twice and walked towards the front yard, saying, "Your grandma wants to eat fish today. Why don't you and Yun Shan go to the mountain to catch it? I was just thinking..."

Mao Xiaosui raised his eyebrows. Could it be that this person came here after seeing Li Yunshan leave? Could it be that she thinks she has a soft temper and is too thin-skinned to refuse? Where did she get this illusion?

She was not polite and said with a smile, "Auntie, hurry up and catch her on the mountain. No one can come in time..."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiu hurriedly said, "It's too late to catch them now. Lend me two of yours."

"I can't borrow it. We still owe a lot to the pork shop. How can I borrow it?"

"It's not like I won't pay it back." Su Qiu made a face, but she wanted to squeeze into the yard.

Mao Xiaosui didn't chase, but said slowly from behind, "Aunt, it's better not to take it. Li Yunshan went to carry water, but if I don't want to borrow it, then I won't. If you insist on taking it, don't blame me for yelling."

"I don't have a good temper either. This aunt should have known about it a long time ago."

Su Qiu looked back at her, and her heart was pounding when she thought of what happened before. She laughed twice and said angrily, "Aunt, didn't I come to discuss this with you? Your grandma really wants to eat it. I am your daughter-in-law." I couldn’t bear to hear her keep talking about it.”

"That's really strange. She has so many grandsons who don't know how to be filial, so why would she ask one of our grandsons to do so? Let's face it... how can there be such a reason?"

"I said I borrowed it and I will pay it back. Your grandma just said it. If you hadn't caught it earlier, wouldn't you have caught it?"

Mao Xiaosui glanced at the road to the village and said, "Li Yunshan is here."

Su Qiu stared at her, also annoyed, "No wonder others don't like you..."

Mao Xiaosui couldn't help but laugh, and said quietly, "You remember clearly when others say they don't like me. If others say they hate you, why don't you keep it in mind?"

Su Qiu rolled her eyes at her and left angrily. Li Yunshan approached with water and then asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you so angry?"

"You're taking advantage." She snorted coldly. "You're so lazy that you're so greedy."

"What to borrow? Fish?"

"No, it's because Fifth Grandma is greedy." She sneered, "If you're greedy, you won't catch it. What are you talking about when you come to our house?"

She became even more angry when she said this, "Guess what she just said? She said that all the women in the village don't like me."

"Then what did you reply?"

"I asked her why she doesn't take the fact that others hate her to heart so much because she has such a good memory."

Li Yunshan couldn't help laughing, "She borrowed things and never returned them."

"I know, that's why I didn't borrow it. She just came here specifically to see you go down. Am I that kind of thin-skinned person? It's really funny."

"Yeah." Li Yunshan nodded seriously, "You're not."

"..."

Afraid of a thunderstorm at night, the food in the yard had to be packed. After dinner in the evening, the two of them started to work.

There were sixteen bags of grain in one hospital, and it was already dark after they were all packed.

Li Yunshan carried her into the side room and told her when she came out, "Don't boil water for me anymore. I'll wash it with cold water."

"That's a lot of water."

"..." Li Yunshan was speechless and resignedly carried the basin into the house to scrub.

After lying on the bed, Mao Xiaosui asked him, "How long will it take for us to go to the town?"

"You have to watch when you are drying the grain. There will be thunderstorms."

"Then I will clean up the wheat and dry it together tomorrow afternoon."

"It's not in a hurry, it's not much. It's the same thing if I take some time to dry it in a few days."

"Then I'd better dig up the mushrooms and sell more cabbage in the winter, so we can plant some long beans next year." He complained, "You don't know how to buy some, so we won't be able to eat this year..."

"Isn't there a long bean seed?"

"No, just two packages of cabbage and one package of green vegetables."

"Are you confused? The vegetable seeds belong to my sister-in-law's family. When I asked for them, I asked for a pack of three kinds."

"No way." She got out of bed immediately.

The vegetable seeds were in jars on the windowsill. She poured them out and checked them one by one. She found that one package of vegetable seeds was mixed with other vegetable seeds.

Li Yunshan sat up, looked over here, and asked, "Is there any?"

"Yes." She sighed helplessly, "I didn't pay attention to mix in the vegetable seeds saved from last year.

The seeds of long beans are much larger than those of vegetables. She picked out the seeds of long beans, wrapped them, and put them to bed.

Li Yunshan nodded, "I just thought you didn't like it."

"You don't know how to remind me how good long beans are. You can dry them for the winter or sell them."

Li Yunshan wasn't angry even after being slapped by her, he just said, "I haven't eaten for a long time."

"It's been more than a year." Anyway, she hasn't seen long beans at home since she came here.

"It's been two or three years," Li Yunshan said.

"Li Yunqiang's family doesn't grow it, so you didn't pick some?"

He shook his head, "His family was reluctant to eat it, and I was too lazy to ask for it. I used to buy a handful at the market when I was really greedy, and most of the time I ate mushrooms from the mountains."

She wondered, "I didn't see you doing it when I came here last year, or did you do it too late?"

"With less exposure to sunlight, there will be no food left before the winter is over."

"This year we'll get more sun. Next year we'll plant long beans and dry them for the winter. The stewed rice will be delicious."

Li Yunshan smiled and said, "Go to sleep."
