She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 125: Picking in the Back Mountain, Xiaodao Returns Gift
"Hmm..." Li Jingwan suddenly had an idea.
"Yesterday, the young lady wanted to go to the back mountain to pick wolfberries but failed. Today, let me go and see if Ah Han is at home. If he is free, please ask him to take us to the back mountain."
"No trouble, no trouble." The cattle tenant said quickly, "Ah Han is at home, he is free."
"Well, I just saw him making a bamboo basket."
Li Jingwan didn't want to leave yet, so she tried to find a way to talk, "Uncle Niu, are you picking vegetables?"
The cow tenant nodded and said, "Yes, I went to the doctor to get some medicine, and I went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables."
"What medicine?" Li Jingwan remembered what Mother Wu said, that the tenant farmer Niu had been taking Li Dingzheng to see a doctor.
The cow tenant said, "It's Ah Han's medicine. He has had a headache recently. I happened to meet the doctor the day before yesterday, and he asked me to go get the medicine today. I was afraid that there would be too many people and I would have to wait for a long time, so I went early."
Hearing that her brother had a headache, Li Jingwan felt sad, but she couldn't ask more questions.
Both the tenant farmer Niu and Mother Wu were warm and generous people. After that, they invited Li Jingwan to have breakfast.
"These dishes are prepared for cooking noodles, Miss Xiaowan, if you don't mind, please eat with us."
Li Jingwan was just wanting to stay with her brother for a while longer, so she declined and followed him into the courtyard.
"Ah Han, a guest is coming." The cow tenant said with a smile, "Come here quickly."
Li Dingzheng did not move immediately, but stood up after finishing weaving the bamboo strips in his hand.
"Miss Xiaowan, don't mind it." The cow tenant said awkwardly, "Ah Han is not impolite, he just reacts slowly and is more focused on what he does."
Li Jingwan could no longer listen to what he said. Looking at her brother who was so close to her, she clenched her palms to prevent herself from crying.
"Ah Han, this is Miss Xiaowan." The cow tenant asked Li Dingzheng to greet her.
Li Dingzheng just stared at Li Jingwan, his eyes were like an ancient well, without any ripples.
Although she knew her brother had lost his memory and didn't recognize her, Li Jingwan still felt sad. She opened her mouth several times before saying, "Ah Han, hello, you can just call me Xiaowan... Xiaowan sister, I'm older than you."
"Miss Xiaowan, I thought you were younger than Ah Han." The cow tenant was a little surprised and laughed again, "But to be honest, I don't know how old Ah Han is this year. He himself doesn't remember."
"He is three years younger than me." Li Jingwan blurted out, making the cow tenant a little confused. How could she be so sure?
Li Dingzheng didn't say anything. He looked at Li Jingwan with his dark eyes. Then, under Li Jingwan's expectant gaze, he sat down again and continued to weave the bamboo basket.
The cow tenant apologized and explained, "Please forgive me, Miss Xiaowan, Ah Han is just like that..."
"It's okay, Uncle Niu." Li Jingwan was already very satisfied to be able to see her brother from such a close distance.
The cow tenant asked Li Jingwan to sit for a while while he went in to cook noodles.
Li Jingwan slowly moved to Li Dingzheng's side, and when she saw that he had no resistance, she said softly, "Ah Han, your weaving is really beautiful."
Li Dingzheng still did not respond. He picked up another bamboo pole and started to cut it with the knife at hand.
The knife looks small, but it is extremely sharp in Li Dingzheng's long palm.
The yellow bamboo unique to the northwest is very hard in texture, but at this time it was easily cut into strips by a knife like paper.
Li Jingwan couldn't help but praise, "Ah Han, your knife is so sharp, it can cut iron like mud."
Li Dingzheng lowered his head and worked hard to cut bamboo.
When they spoke for the first time after the reunion, Li Jingwan didn't dare to say too much, for fear of arousing other people's suspicion. She was also worried that Li Dingzheng would resist and even have a headache after hearing it.
Fortunately, Xu Rui is in Tacheng, and he can be asked to treat Li Dingzheng when the time comes.
Soon, the voice of the cow tenant came from the kitchen, "Ah Han, quickly put the table in the yard."
"Uncle Niu, let me do it." Li Jingwan said quickly, "Ah Han hasn't finished his work yet, and I'm free anyway."
The cow tenant didn't dare to let her do it, and hurried out of the kitchen, "Miss Xiaowan, you are a guest, I will do it."
"Then let's go together." Li Jingwan also walked towards the main room, picked up a stool and placed it in the yard, then went to the kitchen to get the noodles.
"Miss Xiaowan, I think Ah Han likes you very much." The cow tenant said while scooping noodles.
"Really?" Li Jingwan was a little happy. "Uncle Niu, how did you know that?"
"Ah Han is shy about strangers. He won't get close to anyone unless they are someone he knows very well, and he certainly won't let anyone stand in front of him. But I just went out and saw you standing in front of Ah Han, and he didn't hide at all."
Li Jingwan felt even more joy and encouragement in her heart.
Although Li Dingzheng doesn't recognize her now, they are siblings, a family bond that can never be severed.
After breakfast, Li Jingwan hurried back to the farm and told Bai Yiyi that she was fine and could go pick wolfberries today.
Moreover, she had specifically gone to the cattle tenant's house in the morning to check, and saw that Ah Han was at home and could take them to the back mountain.
Bai Yiyi had just gotten up when she yawned.
"Xiao Wan, why are you so anxious? You almost fainted from the pain yesterday. Why don't you go the day after tomorrow?"
Li Jingwan naturally wanted to spend more time with her brother. "Miss, we have to prepare the birthday gifts as soon as possible. Old Madam Bai's birthday is less than ten days away. When Butler Bai comes back in two days, he might ask you to return to Tacheng right away."
Bai Yiyi calculated the time and immediately became more energetic. "You're right. Let's go and call Mother Wu. We'll go now."
Under the leadership of Li Dingzheng, the three of them went into the back mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Bai Yiyi no longer cared about the etiquette of a lady from a noble family and squatted on the ground, panting.
"I can't do it anymore. Don't go on... Take a break. I'm so tired..."
Now she finally understood why people here were unwilling to look for black wolfberries. Besides the scarcity of them, the road was too difficult to travel.
The back mountain seemed to be just behind the cow tenant's courtyard, but I didn't expect it to take more than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
Bai Yiyi mumbled it out and Mother Wu laughed.
"Miss, all the mountains in the northwest are like this. They look close, but they are actually very far away. This is what the saying goes, 'Looking at the mountain and running the horse to death'."
Li Jingwan opened the kettle and handed it over, "Miss, please drink some water."
She specially prepared an extra kettle and handed it to Li Dingzheng who was standing at the front and looking around, "Ah Han, you drink some too."
Li Dingzheng turned his head, his dark eyes showing no emotion.
"Drink some water. You've been walking for so long." Li Jingwan was very patient. She smiled and handed the kettle forward.
This time, Li Dingzheng finally reacted, shook his head slightly, and turned his head away again.
Although she was rejected, Li Jingwan was very happy, at least Li Dingzheng responded to her words.
She walked back with the water bottle. Seeing that she was rejected, Mother Wu comforted her, "Xiao Wan, Ah Han is just like that. Don't take it to heart. He has a lot of physical strength. I heard from the cow tenant that Ah Han didn't even bring water or dry food when he went to the back mountain to collect herbs."
"I think so too." Bai Yiyi, still squatting and unwilling to get up, nodded in agreement.
"He walks as fast as a monkey. Mother Wu, go and tell him to walk slower later."
After resting for a while, the four continued to climb the mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain behind is not steep, the northwest is dry after winter, and the road is easy to walk on.
Li Dingzheng often came to the back mountain and was very familiar with the place. He took them directly to the place where there were wild wolfberry trees.
But there were too few black wolfberries, and it would be great if there were a few on every ten trees. After searching for more than half an hour, the small backpack that Bai Yiyi brought was not even full.
She was a little discouraged and very tired. Li Jingwan took her hand and whispered, "Miss, it doesn't matter how much you pick today. The main thing is to show it to the outside world. You go to pick black wolfberries for the old lady in person."
"If it's less, I will find a way to ensure that the old lady will like this birthday gift."
Bai Yiyi's worry turned into joy immediately, "Then I feel relieved."
Just as he finished speaking, Li Dingzheng, who was leading the way in front, stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to the right, indicating that there was another wolfberry tree.
Bai Yiyi walked over slowly, looked up without hope, and suddenly her eyes widened, "So many!"
This wolfberry tree is tall and bears a lot of fruits, almost half of which are black wolfberries.
"Miss, if you take these off, your backpack will be half full." Mother Wu said happily.
"This is the first time I have seen so many black wolfberries growing on a tree. It must be because of your filial piety towards the old lady that God specially left this tree for you."
"It's all thanks to Ah Han." Li Jingwan looked at her brother, "Ah Han, thank you."
Mother Wu nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ah Han is very capable. He led us to find this tree."
After both of them said it, Bai Yiyi also felt that she should express her gratitude, "Ah Han, thank you..."
The one who responded to her was Li Dingzheng's back of the head. Bai Yiyi was so angry that she cursed in her heart, what a fool he really is.
Although there were many black wolfberries on the tree, most of them were too high. Several people stood on tiptoe to pick only a small part. The rest were out of reach and they had to climb up the tree.
As soon as Mother Wu said that, Li Dingzheng took the small backpack and climbed up the tree. His movements were very flexible. Li Jingwan quickly reminded him, "Ah Han, go slowly and be careful with your steps."
Li Dingzheng climbed up and picked the black wolfberries very skillfully. In just a quarter of an hour, except for those that grew on the branches, all the others were put into the basket by him, and then he climbed down the tree.
"Slow down." Li Jingwan reminded again, "Pay attention to the branches beside you."
When Li Dingzheng was a child, whenever he climbed a tree, she would stand under the tree and give him the same instructions.
Li Dingzheng paused in his climbing movement, then continued climbing and stopped when he was still some distance from the ground.
Li Jingwan immediately said, "Don't jump, climb down."
At the same time, Li Dingzheng had already loosened his hands and jumped to the ground.
Sure enough, it was still the same as before. Li Jingwan couldn't help but smile.
Li Dingzheng always felt that climbing down the tree in an orderly manner was not heroic enough, so he had to leave some distance before jumping down.
I didn't expect that even after losing my memory, I still kept this habit.
Li Dingzheng took down the backpack and handed it to Bai Yiyi. Bai Yiyi's eyes lit up, "There are so many black wolfberries, they can be filled into several cans."
"Ah Han, look at your clothes, are they torn?" Mother Wu pointed at Li Dingzheng's waist and said, "You should have listened to Sister Xiaowan and climbed down obediently."
Li Jingwan took a look and found that there was indeed a cut on the waist side of Li Dingzheng's coat by a branch. Fortunately, he was not hurt, so she felt relieved.
After picking enough black wolfberries, they rested for a while, ate some dry food and then went home.
After coming out from the back mountain, Bai Yiyi shouted that she wanted to go back and lie down quickly because her legs were so tired that she could hardly lift them.
Although she was sent to the farm, she had always been a spoiled young lady. Today, she spent several hours picking wolfberries, which was her first time and her body could not handle it.
Passing by the cow tenant's courtyard, Li Jingwan stopped and said, "Miss, you and Madam Wu should go back first. I will go to Ah Han's house."
She explained, "Ah Han's clothes got torn because he was helping us pick wolfberries, so I helped him sew his clothes."
Li Dingzheng was standing next to her. Upon hearing this, he ran home without even saying hello.
"This idiot, why is he running away?" Bai Yiyi said with a smile, "He's not even happy to help me sew his clothes."
"Xiaowan, I'll go with you." Bai Yiyi is very dependent on Li Jingwan now. Even though she is very tired, she still wants to go with her.
If she wanted to go, Mother Wu would naturally have to follow.
Finally, the three of them went to the cattle tenant’s yard together.
He happened to be weaving bamboo baskets in the yard. When he saw Bai Yiyi coming, he quickly got up, moved a stool, and poured tea, busying himself non-stop.
Li Jingwan explained her purpose, and the cow tenant quickly waved his hand, "This kid is very naughty, it's common for his clothes to be scratched, there's no need to trouble Miss Xiaowan."
"Uncle Niu, we are all here, please don't be polite. If Ah Han has other clothes that need mending, please help me find them. Although I am not very good at sewing, I can sew clothes."
The tenant farmer wanted to refuse, but Li Dingzheng ran out of the house, handed the things in his hand to Li Jingwan, and finally said the first words Li Jingwan said after seeing him, "Clothes."
Li Jingwan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Is this the clothes you wanted me to sew?"
Li Dingzheng nodded.
Li Jingwan suppressed the joy and bitterness in her heart and smiled widely, "Okay, I'll sew it right away."
When the tenant farmer Niu saw that his adopted son had taken off all his clothes, he scolded him with a smile and had to take out the needle and thread and ask Li Jingwan for help.
Mother Wu and the cow farmer were busy selecting black wolfberries. Bai Yiyi sat beside them, watching and gently patting her legs.
Li Jingwan was sitting in the main room sewing clothes. Although it was just a small tear, she sewed slowly, stitch by stitch.
When she was in the general's mansion, she preferred riding horses and shooting arrows rather than learning needlework. The occasional purse or sachet she sewed was a terrible sight.
Yao joked that if she didn't learn some needlework, her in-laws would talk about her when she got married. Li Dingzheng retorted loudly that his eldest sister was going to be a mistress, not an embroiderer.
If Li Jingwan's mother-in-law dared to say anything bad about her, he would definitely have a good argument with that old woman. He would also take Li Langqing with him and make him roll on the ground, saying that they were bullying a child.
Two drops of tears fell on her clothes, leaving two dark spots. Li Jingwan then realized that she had actually cried and hurriedly wiped the tears from her clothes.
Hearing footsteps approaching, she quickly wiped her face, looked up and found it was Li Dingzheng.
Li Jingwan cut the thread, stood up and said with a smile, "Ah Han, I've just finished sewing it, take a look."
She handed the clothes to her, but Li Dingzheng didn't take it. Instead, he stretched out his hand towards her.
In his palm was a small knife in a sheath.
"This is..." Li Jingwan guessed, "Is it for me?"
Li Dingzheng nodded and said, "I'll sew some clothes for you."
Li Jingwan sorted out the meaning of his words, "Are you saying that I helped you sew clothes, so you gave me a knife?"
Li Dingzheng still nodded, "You like it."
This time Li Jingwan was confused. When did she say she liked this knife?
