MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 12

"Why are you so useless? Don't hurry up and get the corn down the mountain." Wang Sufen gave Li Muwu an impatient look, as someone who saw the branches stretch and shrink at will without kneeling down, Wang Sufen felt that Li Muwu was a little too cowardly.

Holding his knees and shaking his legs, Li Muwu scrawled up and stood up, but looking at the lost corn on the ground and the potatoes dug out of the soil, he still felt his eyes a little gosh. Li Muwu trembled and pointed to the grain on the ground, his lips trembling: "Is this made by our girl?"

Wang Sufen nodded proudly: "Our daughter is very old, and my mother said that the designation was entrusted by the gods. But you can't tell others about this, and Mu Sen is not allowed to talk about it. And we The sons of the family are getting older each year, and I can't tell you when to expose this matter, shut up for me, do you hear me?"

Li Muwu gave Wang Sufen a dull look: "You don't know if I'm strict or not?"

Wang Sufen remembered her husband's character of being unable to hit two farts with one stick, so she felt relieved. She grabbed her waist and waved the **** in her hand, looking a bit like Mrs. Li : "I'm harvesting grain here, hurry up and transport it down, how much can be transported before dark!"

When Li Muwu picked up a handful of corn and was about to throw it into the basket, he suddenly saw a rice bowl wrapped in blue cloth, and quickly took it out and handed it to Wang Sufen: "I was too scared to forget it. This is the meal that my mother brought you. You have to take a break and put the child down on the ground to crawl, you are always tired and panicked while carrying her."

Wang Sufen looked at Li Muwu with inexhaustible words: "I'm afraid to put her on the ground, and when I look back, the mountain will be turned into corn by her." But as soon as the words fell, Wang Sufen thought of Zhen Zhen in her. There were branches several meters long on his back, and it seemed that it was not safe to carry her on his back.

Wang Sufen took off the back towel and put Zhen Zhen in the basket brought by Li Muwu: "You send your daughter home to let Osmanthus watch her, if I go back late, let Osmanthus give She made a steamed egg custard to eat."

Li Muwu responded, put some potatoes that were about the same weight as Zhen Zhen in the basket in front, put the pole on his back, and walked down the mountain with great strides.

Sitting in the wobbly basket, Zhen Zhen grabbed the basket curiously and looked out, this ancient and lush forest is full of rich products. There are dozens of species. At this time, when the fruit is not yet ripe, the red, yellow and green ones are particularly beautiful hanging on the tree. Zhen Zhen looked at the wild fruit, and then raised her head to look at the not-so-big pine cone growing on the tree.

Thinking of the smell of fried pine nuts at home during the Chinese New Year, Zhen Zhen couldn't stop drooling, the few pine cones on the tree grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye under Zhen Zhen's gaze, the nuts After it became full, it fell from the tree and fell into the basket.

Zhen Zhen doesn't know if she is called a talent or an ability, she doesn't seem to need practice, just like breathing, eating and drinking, she seems to know how to do it by nature. Such an interesting talent makes Zhen Zhen just like a child who just got a new toy, so she will never get tired of trying again and again.

Capuchin fruit, raspberry, mountain twig, sand fruit, sorbus, wild hawthorn, grape and kiwi, the green wild fruit ripens quickly, the decayed fruit is full again, and the ripe fruit is more Sweet, every kind of wild fruit fell when the taste was the best, and rushed into the embrace of Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen looked at more and more wild fruits in the basket, her smiling eyes turned into a crescent moon, while Li Muwu, who was carrying the burden, felt more and more wrong as he walked. Always fall back?

He dragged the pole forward, walked dozens of meters, and the basket behind fell down again, Li Muwu finally reacted, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhen Zhen in the basket.

I saw Zhen Zhen sitting firmly with a pine cone in her arms, she didn't know how much she ate in the basket, her face was like a small cat, red juice, purple Juice and green juice are intertwined, cute and somewhat funny. And around Zhen Zhen, there are seven or eight pine towers, and there are half a basket full of various fruits.

Seeing that the lantern fruit, which was broken by a single poke in the past, hung tough on the pine tower and showed no signs of breaking the skin, Li Muwu turned his head back with difficulty, and pulled the pole forward and pulled it back to the front and back. After balancing, he suddenly ran quickly: "Mother...Mother..."

The old lady Li at the foot of the mountain tied the carriage to the tree, and she couldn't help but pick up the small shovel she brought with her to dig up wild vegetables in the surrounding area. As soon as she put the dug-in mother-in-law on the carriage, she heard her son's ghost crying and wolf howling from a distance.

Old Mrs. Li shook her head angrily: "I haven't seen anything in the world! If I had half of his brother's brain, I would be able to worry less about snacks all these years."

As soon as she finished mumbling, Mrs. Li saw Li Muwu appearing in line of sight as if being chased by a wolf, and saw him rushing down from the mountain in a hurry, the soil baskets in front of and behind him up and down Shaking it, even the potatoes inside flew out.

How could the starving old lady Li be willing to spoil things like this, and she suddenly wanted to scold him, but when she was about to speak, she suddenly saw something in the back basket that looked familiar: The sky braids with red headbands, the blue jacket, the tender white skin, the big eyes like black grapes...

Suddenly what potatoes, what food, Mrs. Li couldn't remember all of it, all she had in her mind was the granddaughter she had been looking forward to for many years: "Li Muwu, if you dare to take my granddaughter from Throw it out of the basket, and I'll break your dog's legs!" The mother's shocking roar finally made Li Muwu wake up, and he quickly regained his senses, and his footsteps slowed down.

Seeing that there was no one around quietly, Mrs. Li couldn't help but scolded her face: "I didn't tell you everything before, why are you scared like this?"

"No..." Li Muwu swallowed hard, not knowing how to explain to his mother: The first wave of shock has passed, and now he is going through the second round.

Give a look to Li Muwu, Mrs. Li went over to pick up Zhen Zhen and looked at the half basket of things, Mrs. Li was quite curious: "How come the sand fruit is ripe in August? Where is it? The pine cones that I picked look quite big, but they ripen quite early." While talking, Mrs. Li picked up a sand fruit and ate it all.

"No..." Li Muwu struggled to organize the language, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Mrs. Li: "This year, the fruit is sweet and the water is still high. When you're done, go and collect some, I'll scrape it with a spoon and feed it to Zhen Zhen."

"But..."

"How much did you eat for Zhen Zhen? Look at how dirty this little face is." While speaking, Mrs. Li pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and poured some water from the kettle, After a few times, she wiped Zhen Zhen's little face clean.

Seeing that Mrs. Li finally finished her sentence like a serial cannon, Li Muwu had a chance to speak: "I don't know where these wild fruits were picked, but when I carried the burden down the mountain, in the basket I didn't have anything yet, and when I got to the place, I turned around and saw half a basket of things, which made my legs go weak."

"Frightened and soft and running so fast!" Mrs. Li couldn't help but snorted, looking at the wild fruits in the basket, and even a few potatoes, it was estimated that they were all Li Muwu threw it out, but somehow fell into the basket behind.

My aunt's house, let her help send Zhen Zhen home. It's already afternoon, it's too much of a delay."

Mr. Li hugged Zhen Zhen and walked away quickly, Li Muwu swayed up the mountain again with his eyes straight, fortunately, the road and legs went smoothly to his home, Li Muwu just closed If you keep your eyes open, you won't go wrong, and you don't need to think about picking things, so although Li Muwu's head is a mess, he still fills half a truckload of food before dark.

Although the sky was still slightly bright, it was almost dark on the mountain, so Li Muwu hurriedly packed two baskets of corn and led Wang Sufen down the mountain.

Mr. Li was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette bag. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law came down, she quickly lifted the felt cloth and asked Li Muwu to pour the corn into it.

The family finally arrived home before it got dark. Li Muwu opened the door and drove the carriage in, and all the people in the family came out when they heard the movement.

"Milk, you said we should wait at home to arrange work for us, but we waited all afternoon, and we didn't have anything to do except watch Zhen Zhen?" Mingbei complained first when he saw his grandmother a sentence.

"Zhen Zhen is very well-behaved, she never makes trouble, what's the use of it?" Smelling the smell of the food in the room, Mrs. Li didn't even have the heart to hate her grandson, she He jumped off the carriage dexterously: "Go back to the house and eat first."

Washing her face and hands, Wang Sufen hurried back to the east room to see Zhen Zhen. At this time, Zhen Zhen had already eaten the egg custard and fell asleep sweetly, Wang Sufen took a pillow and blocked another layer outside, and then went out to eat.

The evening meal was the rabbit meat stewed with potatoes and wild vegetable dumplings left at noon. Although Mingbei insisted that Mrs. Li said that she would eat hard today, Osmanthus did not believe him. . Now that the years are so difficult, there is only so much food in the family, and there is nowhere to buy it. If I hadn't thought about my parents and grandma going out all afternoon, I would definitely be tired. Osmanthus was reluctant to serve even wild vegetable dumplings. With such a good dish as rabbit stewed potatoes, we should save food.

Mrs. Li was eating potatoes soaked with meaty fragrance and listening to Ming Bei’s ramble about osmanthus, while Ming Dong looked at Mrs. Li and stopped talking, and Mrs. Li just didn’t see it His eyes, a sip of potatoes and a sip of wine are very sweet.

After dinner, Mrs. Li wiped her mouth and saw several grandchildren yawning and going to bed, so she hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't sleep first, go out to work with me. Live." He glanced at Mingdong and Mingxi again: "Tomorrow you two should quit your job when you get paid."

Ming Dong said quickly: "Honey, I still have more than half a month before school starts. Is it a bit early to quit work now?"

Looking at her eldest grandson, Mrs. Li showed a rare and pleasant look: "I will go to Bingcheng in a few days. You also take a two-day break, and help me work at home by the way." Listening to Mr. Li Tai said that Dong had to answer.

Remembering that some of her grandson's classmates were admitted to college, Mrs. Li asked one more question: "Have all of your classmates bought tickets? Are you going to start school together?"

Ming Dong said quickly: "Wang Jianguo was admitted to Bingcheng University of Technology two days later than our agricultural university, but Li Aijun's Bingcheng University of Technology opened on the same day as me. We took the notice After the book has opened the letter of introduction, I have already bought the tickets, and Wang Jianguo will also go with us, so that we can be a companion."

Mr. Li was relieved when she heard that they were going together. She got off the kang and turned on the light, and greeted the family members and said, "Using the light, go out to work quickly." Li Mingbei looked at it dumbfounded. Looking at the electric light, he couldn't help but turn his head and said to Ming Dong, "Big brother is reluctant to use electricity when he reads books at night. What are you doing now, you can actually use our light bulbs."

Ms. Li was speechless. She walked to the carriage with her hands behind her back, and pulled down the felt cloth covering it, revealing half the carload of corn, potatoes and cabbage.

Mingnan and Mingbei rushed to the carriage in two steps. They touched the cabbage, picked up two more corns, and looked back at Mrs. Li in disbelief: , is this our house?"

Mr. Li looked at her family who had turned into fools and smiled very satisfied: "It's all from our family!"

"Where did you come from?" Ming Dong raised the eyes on his nose and couldn't help but ask.

Looking at her eldest grandson, who was always calm, Mrs. Li did not change her face and heartbeat: "Your uncle heard that there is no food supply for our family, so he specially asked his comrades to buy it from the south. Food was brought to us."

Mingdong always felt that something was wrong, and wanted to ask a few more questions, Mrs. Li seemed to see through his thoughts and preemptively blocked his mouth: "Your uncle is occupying the public house. It's cheap, and he and his comrades took great risks in bringing the food back with a big truck. We didn't dare to make a big deal of the food, so we could only dump things back a little bit quietly. You guys Remember, don't let outsiders know about this, if anyone implicates your uncle, I will not give him food for a month."

The three brothers Mingxi, Mingnan, and Mingbei nodded as if smashing garlic: "Nipple, don't worry, we promise not to talk about it!" Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction and looked at Mingdong again . Mingdong smiled helplessly: "Daddy, I know the seriousness, and it is specified that the uncle can't take this risk."

Lady Li smiled: "Put the cabbage and potatoes in the cellar, and pile the corn in the backyard. When you get home tomorrow, peel the corn and throw it into the backyard to dry."

Mu Wu saw that several boys in the family had already started to work in full swing, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you send some to Musen's house first?"

Ms. Li took out her cigarette bag and took two puffs. Seeing that the children had all gone to the backyard, she whispered, "We have ten kilograms of cornmeal and thirty kilograms of sweet potato noodles left in our house. Half of these are sent to his family for emergency use, and when we dump all the food back, let him come over to get the food, your brother of the province believes that you really have to follow to pull the food, and it will be revealed by then."

Wang Sufen looked at Mrs. Li with admiration: "Mother, your head is so good!"

"That's it!" Mrs. Li raised her head proudly: "If it weren't for my cleverness, Zhen Zhen would be able to give birth to our family!"
