The leisurely life of Lin Yuxi

"Second baby, take this to the third uncle's house." Yuxi started to prepare fried things early this morning, and made some snacks, and only made some other things, such as meatballs and oily fruits.

"En." Erwa nodded and took the small basin, chewing the meatballs just stuffed in her mouth.Starting from Yuxi to fry things, the second baby and the third baby waited in front of them without moving, and they were almost full after a while.

"Don't eat it, Brother Jiang, see if Dongqiu pear has melted, get him one, don't eat it." Yuxi said to Jiang Sen.Jiang Sen gathered the firewood into the stove pit, stood up and reached out to take Sanwa away.The little guy's mouth was greasy.

Put the prepared meatballs and oily fruits in a round dustpan as large as a basin, which can be regarded as a New Year's snack.

While cleaning up the pot, Erwa came back with Niu Niu, the little guy was dressed like a ball.

"Brother, Third Aunt asked you to go there." Erwa entered the room and said to Yuxi.

"Oh, what's the matter? Do you know?" Yuxi asked.

"I don't know, Third Aunt is busy at home, so I don't have time to watch Niu Niu."

"I know." Niu Niu stepped across the threshold stupidly, "My uncle is going to marry a wife."

Yuxi burst into laughter, "Who said that?"

"My grandma said it." Niu Niu nodded seriously, Yuxi smiled, and picked up a few meatballs and oily fruits for him in a small bowl, "Go and eat by yourself. Second baby, watch carefully, don't let third baby have eaten."

"Ah." Erwa nodded, and casually took the small bowl from Niu Niu's hand, for fear that he would hit him.

"Brother Jiang, watch out, I'll go to that courtyard to see what's going on."

"Go." Jiang Sen took out Yuxi's fur vest. He heard that Yuxi had spoken.

Yuxi washed her hands, put on her vest and went out.Jiang Sen stayed to clean up.

"Third aunt, what are you doing here?" As soon as Yuxi entered the courtyard, she saw that the lower room of the third uncle's house was open, and the third aunt was looking for things inside.

"Hey, the eldest baby is here. It's just that you help me prepare and entertain guests at home."

"Who's coming? It's already 28. Why are there still people coming?" Yuxi asked about the fish and ducks in the hands of the third aunt.

The third aunt was still holding a piece of pork belly in her hand, and her face was full of wrinkles with a smile, "Hehe, it's not that your sixth aunt introduced someone to Dazhu, it's her niece from her natal family. I talked about it a few years ago, but It's not good to look at the ones that are older than the Chinese New Year. I was thinking about the new year, but who knew that her niece came to give the New Year's goods last night, and your sixth aunt said that you should just take a look."

Yuxi was amused when she heard it, "It's a good thing, why didn't brother Dazhu tell me?"

"Isn't it possible?" Third Aunt took her things into the house.

"But seeing each other for the first time, can we have dinner at home?"

"Isn't your six uncles and aunts here? Let's invite them to dinner today. We didn't say anything about whether it will work or not." The third aunt looked at it and said, "Help me see how many I can make." Vegetables? You are better at cooking than me. You have to help with cooking this time."

"Okay, wrap it on me." Yuxi counted, "sauerkraut duck, twice-cooked pork, stewed fish, cold dishes, pork tenderloin, fried pork with beans, meatballs, braised in soy sauce to make a lion's head, that's seven dishes , make another cold dish, I will get another bottle of tomatoes when I get home, and make a soup. That's enough."

The third aunt laughed when she heard it, "You figured it out, but I still have to watch it. That's all right. I'll go to the West Pot to stew the duck."

"Okay, I'll go back first and tell my family."

"Stop cooking at home, you guys will come and eat together later." The third aunt said to Yuxi.

Yuxi and the third aunt worked together to order some dishes, and they didn't keep them when they were ready. They only filled some dishes and went back to eat with Jiang Sen and the others.

Help the third aunt to come home at night.

Seeing the happy look on Third Aunt's face, Yuxi knew it was over, "Why is Brother Da Zhu very happy?"

"Well, I'm quite happy." The third aunt smiled and sat on the kang.

"How are people?"

"It's pretty good, she's quite pretty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall, she can reach Dazhu's shoulders standing up."

That's not short. Brother Dazhu is 1.8 meters three and four now, and it's more than 1.7 meters to his shoulders.

"A high school diploma. I graduated last year. I can do both at home and outside. I think the work is quite neat and the conversation is straightforward. The most important thing is that you, Brother Dazhu, have taken a fancy to it. They even talked for a while." The third aunt felt This thing is [-]% done.

"Then when will the decision be made?" Their wedding process is still very fast here. As long as the two parties agree, everyone will make a small wedding ceremony and a big wedding gift.After a procedure, it is estimated that we will be able to get married in half a year.

"Wait until Nian Dazhu goes to his house to find out. Then we can discuss it."

Yuxi nodded, he didn't feel much about this kind of semi-arranged marriage, and the people living here thought it was normal.

The third aunt went back with Niu Niu in her arms. Jiang Sen watched the third aunt leave and asked Yuxi, "Why is this settled?"

"I guess it's about the same. The coal that Aunt Six gave me is well known. Brother Da Zhu has fallen in love again. It depends on how the two parties discuss how to pay the bride price."

Jiang Sen couldn't accept it, "Then they don't get along for a while? Isn't this sloppy?"

"Why don't we stay together? After the discussion is over, we must move around during the New Year's Eve. We are all like this here."

"Da Zhu is not very old."

"It's twenty years old this year."

"You won't look for a partner like this in the future, will you?" Jiang Sen felt very uncomfortable when he put the matter of Dazhu on Yuxi.

"I can't, I've already decided to go to college, and I won't get married so early. Besides, the second child and the third child are young, so I will think about these things again if the two of them can be independent." Yuxi shook his head. Considering these things, he didn't even think about finding someone to spend his whole life with in the future. Maybe when the second child and the third child got married, he would leave to see the world and feel free and natural.

Jiang Sen didn't know that Yuxi had the idea of ​​being single, so he was relieved. Although he had decided to bury this relationship in his heart, he still had some hope.

Chinese New Year is always lively and busy. This year, Jiang Sen's family is not deserted, at least it is much better than the three brothers staying at home to watch the new year.

Jiang Sen left after the tenth day of the lunar new year, his vacation was over, but he knew that he would not be so busy in the future, so maybe he could come over from time to time.His departure made the three brothers who were used to his presence a little uncomfortable.After several days, Sanwa still asked Brother Jiang why he didn't come.

After the fifteenth day, the heads of every household in the village went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting on the issue of contracting land.

Yuxi spent more than double the contract fee to contract two hills behind their family's own mountain, with a total area of ​​44 mu of forest land.One more hill than he expected.This hill is on the east side of the forest he is planning to build. It is a low-level forest. There are no trees on the hill, only shrubs. There is a spring on the half slope, which is the outlet of the stream next to Yuxi's house.Because Yuxi didn't want to own the land behind the third uncle's house, and planned to leave it to the third uncle. Unexpectedly, the third uncle took a fancy to a barren hill in the north of the village.The third uncle's family took over the land, so the family couldn't take care of it.

Another reason why Yuxi bought this piece of land was that someone was fighting with him for these two pieces of land. That person was Wang Baoshan. Before Yuxi, they suspected that Wang Baoshan had lit their firewood stack, but unfortunately there was no evidence. Competing for these two hills, let Yuxi use double the price to contract the mountain land. Fortunately, Yuxi communicated with the third grandfather and set the contract to a contract period of 70 years, which is still some compensation.

Thinking of Wang Baoshan's eyes before leaving, Yuxi felt more and more that he was the one who set the fire before.Yuxi even looked at his face with the physiognomy learned in the Taoist scriptures. Even though Yuxi didn't have much talent in this area, she could still see that Wang Baoshan had a villainous face and a villainous appearance.Thinking of this, Yuxi became wary of him.

I took a look at the forest in Yuxi. The place is really nice. On the hill to the east, Yuxi is planning to plant persimmons. There are more than 20 acres of land there. Except for the two acres of mountain springs, the rest of the place is relatively flat, as long as the shrubs on the mountain are cleared. That's it.

On the third day after the contract was signed, Yuxi began to clear the shrubs on the mountain. Because there was not much snow in the past year, the old people in the village said that there would be heavy snow in the next year.After the fifteenth day, the snow did not come, so Yuxi thought about clearing out the ground while it was still snowing, and killing the bugs in the ground when it snowed.

Thinking of this, Yuxi went up the mountain with a shovel, and it was freezing cold.No one would come to dig the ground in this weather. Going down with a pickaxe was like hitting a rock.Even Lin Mingqing came here and only dug an acre of land after working for a long time, which shows how difficult this job is.Whenever he saw Yuxi digging the ground as if he was digging mud, Lin Mingqing was always helpless.Hey, the gap between him and Yuxi is really too big.

Clearing the land in Yuxi, and two children and three children driving the sledge to transport the shrubs back and forth, which just solved the firewood problem at home.

The sledge was made with the help of my third uncle. He originally wanted to come and help, but unfortunately, the efficiency was lower and it was too difficult to dig. In the end, only a few young people remained, Da Zhu, Ming Yuan, and Xiao Xiao who came back years ago. Just.They dug for a long time, but the efficiency was not high. Yuxi asked them to cut down the bushes.He will do the digging.

The third uncle took out the sledge from the house and put it on Rhubarb. The family left four eyes to watch the house, and the other dogs were also tied up, so it didn't take much effort to pull it up.The second baby doesn't need to do anything, just escort the car.Scar led the way, and the journey was smooth and swift.

Sanwa also rode Xiao Huihui back and forth. Xiao Huihui is already half a year old now, and she still looks very small, and her gray and white are more and more obvious. Originally, Erwa wanted to ride, but she didn't want Sanwa to take the lead. Who made him young.Originally, Yuxi was afraid that Sanwa would not be able to sit still and fall off, but Yuxi watched Sanwa's body undulate and was very steady while walking.Even trotting is almost as ups and downs as walking.This is definitely a good horse, Yuxi was very happy to see it.After that, I don't forget to feed it with real energy every day, hoping that it can grow better.

It took Yuxi three days to clean up the entire hill, digging more than half a meter into the ground, and completely digging out the roots of the shrubs.so as not to regenerate later.

Just after he finished these things, it snowed heavily.This heavy snow fell for three days and three nights, with a thickness of more than one meter. It really fell all the snow that hadn't fallen in the previous few months.Every day for the next month there were scattered snowflakes, large or small.There are often reports of house collapses in the surrounding villages. Fortunately, because of the house collapse last year, the people in their villages were very vigilant. They repaired the houses before winter, and this did not happen.

At the end of February, Yuxi suddenly heard shouts at home. It was in the evening. When he went out to take a look, the snow on the mountain slid down and buried the house next to Ming and Qing's house. It was nothing to be blocked by the courtyard wall Casualties were only due to the hard work of digging the snow.

Snow sliding down the mountain is nothing new, their side is lush with trees, as long as the snow doesn't fall as fast as this time, basically it won't happen.

Time slipped away slowly. In March and April, Yuxi has been looking for transplanted saplings in the mountains. The two mountains of his family and the wasteland of his third uncle's house were covered by Yuxi's array. The giant spirit lock array is very useful , Just look at the plants in Yuxi's yard, you can tell that they don't need topdressing at all, and they grow very well.Because this Yuxi is not afraid that the saplings on the mountain will not grow well.

On the slightly higher mountain in the west, there is not much open space, and some useless plants have been cleared. Yuxi has planted more than 700 families of Korean pine, ash, and walnut trees.Scattered and interspersed planting, it will become mature in ten years. The place he wanted before was planted with rhododendrons, which were all transplanted from the mountains. He left some seeds last year. He originally wanted to sow them, but he did not expect Can find a piece of wild cowhide rhododendron.It was also his luck.

On the east side of the mountain, persimmons were planted according to his idea. Some of them were separated from the yard, and some were moved from the forest before going there.Yuxi bought some large hazelnut saplings for the remaining land, which is also a high-priced cash crop.The family also loves to eat.

By the time Yuxi cleaned up the two hills behind, it was already May, and it was almost time to plant big fields.The barren hills of the third uncle's house are almost cleared up, and he doesn't plan to plant other things like Yuxi. Plant trees on the hillside, and plant corn and soybeans geographically.What's better than Yuxi's is that there aren't many trees on the mountain of the third uncle's house, and some shrubs and weeds can be cleaned up. There are more trees planted than Yuxi's.

That day, Yuxi was overturning the field outside the wall, preparing to plant corn, when Sanwa called him from inside the wall, "Brother, there is a monk at our door."

Yuxi froze for a moment, "Oh, I'll go if I know." Yuxi clapped her hands and turned back to the main entrance with a pickaxe.As soon as he turned around, he saw a man wearing a bamboo hat and a monk's robe standing at the door of their house. He was probably seen by the villagers when he came over just now, and there are still a few people watching at the intersection of the third uncle's house.

"You are?" Yuxi didn't recognize anyone for a moment.

"Little friend Lin, it's almost a year since we parted and you are still the same." The monk turned around when Yuxi walked over.

Yuxi was familiar with the voice, and also familiar with the face, "It turned out to be Chan Master Yonghui. Zen Master has changed so much that I didn't recognize it for a while." In fact, Chan Master Yonghui's whole person has changed from temperament to appearance. Before, he looked like a kindly middle-aged man, and he was also a little fat and very lucky. Now his temperament is not to mention, and the original wrinkles on his face have also decreased. He looks like he is 35 or six years old, and he has lost a lot of weight.

Zen Master Yonghui smiled, "This is thanks to my little friend."

"That's the master's opportunity there." Yuxi said the truth, if Master Yonghui didn't reach that level, no matter how much Yuxi enlightened him, it would be useless. "Look at me, the distinguished guest forgot to invite the master to enter the door. You have been neglected." Yuxi said and pushed the door open. The door was originally locked, but Yuxi controlled the door to open through the power of true energy.Today, Rhubarb and his family took their three dogs out to hunt, and only Laba and his mother dog stayed at home to look after the house. Before the third baby was taking a nap, Yuxi was worried, so he locked the door.

"Small friendly means." Although Zen Master Yonghui didn't know what method Yuxi used, he could open the door if he wanted to, but he couldn't be as casual and natural as Lin Yuxi.I have a higher opinion of him in my heart.

"The master is absurd." Yuxi led Zen Master Yonghui into the courtyard.Although Zen Master Yonghui didn't look around, the whole yard was taken into his mind from the corner of his eyes. The yard was no different from ordinary farmhouses, but he could feel a sense of vitality.Before he walked across the creek, he felt a healthy body.It felt even worse in the yard at this time.

"Master, please, the house is messy, and the master laughed." Yuxi was a little embarrassed. Although the house was often cleaned, how could it be tidy when there were children in the house? There is no relationship between stacking up.I don't know where the little guy went again.

"It doesn't matter." Chan Master Yonghui naturally doesn't care about these things.

Yuxi brewed a cup of Shandingzi, "Master, try this is a homemade fruit tea made from plants in the mountains. Although it is not as fragrant as green tea, it still has a flavor."

Zen Master Yonghui took a sip, a sweet and sour fruity taste, although it is hot, it gives people a refreshing feeling, "good tea." Looking at the fruit in the cup, the orange is transparent, the leaves are green, and it is loaded into the glass. With an elegant color.

Yuxi smiled, "This plant is called Shandingzi, and the fruit is edible. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolians used this plant for tea. In addition to this method of brewing, or cooking it with green salt or fresh milk is more delicious. It has a flavor."

"The poor monk came here this time, firstly, to thank you for your help, and secondly, I hope to have an exchange with you on martial arts. I don't know if I will bother you."

"Of course you can't ask for it, master just stay here."

"Hehe, then I won't bother you. The poor monk will also taste the shandingzi tea brewed by you." Chan Master Yonghui laughed.

After talking with Zen Master Yonghui, Yuxi hurriedly tidied up the room for Zen Master Yonghui. Monks like to be quiet, so Yuxi cleaned up the separate room on the west side. Fortunately, the wing room was built before, and it was vacant here. He burned the kang first. , to get rid of the moisture in the house, the wing room was built before Yuxi was cleaned up, and when I had time, I also made some furniture and put it in it, and now it seems to be tidy.

In addition, monks are vegetarians, and the vegetables in the field have not been harvested. At night, Zen Master Yuxi Yonghui fried dried eggplants, mixed with wild vegetables, mushroom soup, and baked corn flour pancakes. The pancakes were golden and very sweet.Before cooking, Yuxi brushed the Westinghouse pot over and over again to ensure that there was no meaty smell.

"Little friend is too polite. Monks don't care about appetite. Simple tea and light meals are fine, and you don't have to eat with poor monks." Zen Master Yonghui said, looking at the vegetarian dishes on the dining table.

"It's not troublesome. The master doesn't need to care."

Erwa still remembered Zen Master Yonghui, and did not express anything special except to welcome him, but Sanwa sat on the edge of the table, looking at Zen Master Yonghui from time to time, looking very cute today.
