Chapter 123 Busy
For three consecutive days, I was so depressed that I wanted to cry.
Because of what he said that day, the kids asked him what he had eaten at home?
Sanniu said angrily, "I don't want to tell you that we had pheasant soup at home!"
That day, we had a sumptuous lunch with sugar-mixed tomatoes and so many delicious vegetables that I had never seen before.
I was afraid that he would speak without restraint in front of the children in the village again.
Then, starting from that afternoon, he was taken care of by his mother, Li Sanya, every day.
She also threatened him to stay by her side all the time.
Otherwise, you will have to drink wild vegetable porridge every day, the kind that doesn’t even contain black flour.
Xiao Sanniu pouted and wanted to cry. He could eat meat now, and sometimes even white flour porridge. Why did he have to drink only porridge with wild vegetables? It was so unfair!
In order to eat delicious food, he had to follow his mother to the mountains to dig wild vegetables all day long.
Every day I watched my brothers with envy, and followed my friends up the mountain to dig out bird nests and hunt rabbits.
They came home and chattered about some interesting things.
Every time at this time, he would stare at his mother Li Sanya with a pair of resentful eyes.
Li Sanya glared at him, and Xiao Sanniu immediately lowered his head and picked his fingers.
Everyone knew about this matter, and they all found it funny to see the frustrated mistress, but no one spoke up for him.
Even his grandparents who loved him didn't speak for him.
Li Lanzhen has been running up the mountain non-stop these days.
First, the lotus roots in the Space Lake were thrown into the Forget-Sorrow Lake. The miraculous result was that the next day the Forget-Sorrow Lake was full of lotus flowers.
It attracted people of all ages from Wangyou Valley to stand by the lake in amazement.
Village Chief Zhao glanced at her and said.
"Lanzhen, you see, we can eat this lotus root in winter, right?"
Li Lanzhen laughed and said, "I think so!"
Li Lanzhen was secretly delighted to see that the lotus roots thrown into the lake had grown lotus leaves and blossomed so quickly.
Since it couldn't be cooked, lotus roots were also thrown into the pool below the waterfall.
This time it was not so fast. A few days later, green lotus leaves unfolded on the surface of the pond.
After more than ten days, lotus buds emerged from the water.
Anyone who comes to the pond to wash vegetables or fetch water will stop to look at it for a while and marvel at its beauty.
Han Minghai knew that Li Lanzhen liked flowers, so when he was digging wild vegetables or cutting trees in the mountains, whenever he came across beautiful flowers and plants, he would dig them up along with the soil and plant them on both sides of the cave.
The open spaces on both sides of their caves are planted with all kinds of beautiful blooming flowers and plants.
The people in Forget-Your-Trouble Valley, mainly women and children, followed their example, bringing back beautiful flowers and plants and planting them on both sides of their own caves.
Seeing that his sister liked flowers and plants, Li Xishui made flower pots of various sizes with scrap wood. He also used wooden blocks and hollowed out the middle to make unique flower pots.
There were also simple patterns carved on it. Li Lanzhen liked it very much. She transplanted some beautiful flowers into it, thinking that she could put them in the cave in winter. When she opened her eyes and saw the bright flowers, she would feel much better.
There are only two things happening in Forget-Your-Trouble Valley now.
One thing is to manage the sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables in his own private plot. In his free time, he would go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and go hunting. In short, he would stockpile everything edible.
Another important thing is that every household is preparing materials for building houses and yards.
The men went up the mountain and cut down all the dead trees. If they couldn't find any dead trees, they would choose some large trees that could be used to build houses or make furniture and bring them back.
They also had to prepare stones for building the foundation of the house, which were slowly carried down the mountain and piled around their own cave.
The village committee has said that it appeared in front of their cave when the house was being built.
Fortunately, the terrain in front of the cave where they lived was relatively flat and solid, so the foundation for building the house would not collapse.
The village committee informed everyone that they should prepare as much materials as the size of the house they want to build, and they should prepare them early and dry them when necessary.
After dinner, Li Lanzhen and her family sat down to chat and talked about renovating the house.
Li Lanzhen knew that the land in front of their caves was relatively large and spacious.
He picked up a stick and started drawing on the ground.
"Everyone, look, I want to build a house like this, do you think it's possible?"
As he was drawing and talking, what he drew was a house with three courtyards, plus a cave at the back that was used as a storehouse.
The yard was very big, and she told everyone little by little how many rooms there were in the yard, what the rooms were used for, and how high the wall should be built.
In the yard, where to plant vegetables and what kind of tree to plant? It is very clear.
When everyone heard this, they thought this kind of house and yard was indeed nice and wanted to build the same house as her.
"Sure, we'll build them the same, so they'll be closer."
Li Lanzhen said, then turned to her mother and said, "Dad, Mom, let's open a moon gate between our two courtyard walls. This way, we can just go through the moon gate when we move around. We don't have to go out of our front door and then enter your front door. This is so convenient."
Looking at the two elder sisters looking at me eagerly.
Li Lanzhen said jokingly, "Our caves are a little far apart, but when we build the courtyard wall, we can build them next to each other. The two families can share one wall. We just need to make the wall a little wider and thicker. We can build a moon gate on the wall, and then we can all visit each other."
Goudan also looked at Li Lanzhen with eager eyes.
Knowing that I had no relatives in Grandma Lanzhen's family, I didn't ask for anything. However, my heart was so eager that I opened a moon gate in the middle of the courtyard wall so that I could go find Han Yinan and Daniu and pass through it.
Li Lanzhen laughed and said to Goudan, "Goudan, do you want to open a moon gate like grandma's family?"
Goudan said without hesitation, "I want to open a moon in the middle of the wall between my house and Grandpa Zhang's house. Grandpa Zhang, is that okay?"
Zhang Deshui laughed and said, "Why not? I'll open the moon gate for you. Come over whenever you want."
Li Lanzhen felt that she didn't know whether she was lucky or her original self was lucky to have met such two good in-laws, otherwise she would not have been able to live a chaotic life.
Her original body was of the best quality, but Li Lanzhen didn’t want to be the best!
When I came here, I just wanted to live a good life in peace!
Zhang Deshui was in charge of arranging the work on the fields for Li Lanzhen and her family.
If there was too much grass in the field, he would tell everyone after dinner.
This has become a habit for Li Lanzhen and her friends. After breakfast every day, they sit down and talk about their day's gains, interesting things they encountered, troubles they encountered, and things they need to do the next day.
Let everyone be happy about happy things, discuss together the difficult problems, and plan together what to do the next day.
Now even the children in the family have become accustomed to the meeting procedures. They went from being shy and stammering in the beginning to being able to speak openly and clearly now.
