Chapter 80: Hong Yi, who was killed by domestic violence (5)
"Niu Niu can eat these every day in the future, I promise." Although Hao Xin is occasionally impatient with her children, most of them are still very patient, as long as she is still making trouble.
After breakfast, Hao Xin picked up Hong Xi, left home and went to the village, and came to the home of Chen Weihong, the woman director in the village. "Is the director at home?" she shouted outside the door.
"Who are you? My mother is not at home and just went out for a walk." A girl ran to open the door and asked Hao Xin.
"I am Hong Yi, I have something to do with Director Chen, but you can do it." Looking at the girl, the girl was well educated, and her clothes were gray but very clean. And seeing Hao Xin was covered in rags, she didn't show any signs.
"What's the matter?" The little girl heard that she could help, and her eyes glowed and her chest was erected.
"That's right. Auntie wants to get some dry firewood on the mountain, but I don't feel at ease when my little sister is alone at home. I don't know if you can help Auntie take a look. She is very well-behaved." This girl is already seven or eight years old, and it should be OK to see a child, but now I'm just talking about it, and I have to wait for Chen Weihong to come back.
"Hey, Zhou Cheng's wife, ah, no, Hong Yi, why are you here?" Chen Weihong came back and saw Hao Xin and was confused. She originally wanted to talk about Zhou Cheng's wife, but she changed her words when she thought that the two had divorced. Speaking of which, Chen Weihong had also spoken for the original owner, but unfortunately, she refused to let the housework be handled, so she could only beat the original owner occasionally to make it easier. This is also the reason why Hao Xin came to find Chen Weihong.
When Hao Xin saw Chen Weihong coming, she talked about her purpose of coming here. Chen Weihong nodded, "That's it, just put the child here, Xiaoling will be optimistic about her."
"Auntie, don't worry." The little girl Xiaoling patted her chest.
"Then Xiaoxi, you're here to play with your sister, and mom goes to pick up firewood." Hao Xin put Hongxi on the ground and said to her.
"Well, mom, I will be obedient. You will come back early." Hong Xi nodded obediently.
"Sister, let's play together." Xiaoling grabbed Hong Xi and expressed her attitude with her actions.
"Director, thank you." Hao Xin still had some good feelings for Chen Weihong. After all, she was the only one who had said something to the original owner a few times, although it was not effective.
"I didn't help you. It's better if you divorced. Although you may be pointed at by someone, you will be good to you and your children. If you have anything in the future, you can come to me and your children can also be sent to me." Chen Weihong is a bold and open-minded person in this era, and she agrees with Hao Xin's divorce.
"Thank you, Director." Hao Xin said goodbye to Chen Weihong and went straight to Qingping Mountain. Their village was leaning against the mountains on one side, while the other side was a slightly gentle plain. The villages and towns were all located on the plain, but although they were plains, there were some hills.
Most of the trees here are pine trees. In fact, pine trees can be said to be the most growing trees in the world, almost all over the world. Hao Xin picked up some of the falling and dry branches one by one. After getting a bunch of them, he realized that he did not bring a straw rope. He searched for a circle again and finally found some vines and tied up the dry branches with vines.
Finally, two stacks of dry firewood were made. In addition to dry firewood, she also grabbed some pine hair and tied it up. Then she cut a bamboo forest from a piece that she saw when she was picking up firewood. After removing the branches, she cut the ends diagonally with a machete and sharpen them. In this way, a pointed load was ready.
After inserting the tips at both ends into the firewood pile, and then tidying it up, Hao Xin got under the tip of the load and carried it up. At first, it shaking, but the original owner was used to doing farm work, so he quickly got used to it and began to go down the mountain carefully.
It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain, so Hao Xin had to be careful. The time to go down the mountain was twice as long as it was to go up the mountain. When he returned home, he untied the dry firewood and opened it to the back of the stove. Looking at the few pine hairs inside, he felt that this was not enough to attract fire. So he took advantage of the early days and borrowed bamboo claw rakes and entered the back mountain to get two piles of pine hairs.
After going deep into the back mountain, Hao Xin noticed the movement of some animals running away quickly. It was a pity that she was weak now, otherwise she could hunt with an embroidery needle and add some dishes to them.
In addition to pine hair, Hao Xin has some other gains, that is, bitter leaf clover, which can be eaten, and it is a Chinese medicine that can clear heat and detoxify, relieve pus and break blood stasis... When you eat it, some people may not be used to it, because fresh bitter leaf clover smells like a smell of smelly feet, which needs to be rinsed before it can be alleviated. However, after blanching and rinsing, add some ginger and stir-fry, pour boiling water when eating, and make a bowl of refreshing and delicious vegetable soup.
The advantage of this bitter leaf clover is that it can be picked all the time after picking. Like leeks, there will be some in winter. As long as it does not snow, it is a wild vegetable that can be eaten all seasons.
Hao Xin was very satisfied. Finally, she didn't have to just eat white rice anymore. When she practiced the Sun and Moon Art for a while and broke through the first level, she could beat some rabbits and pheasants to increase her food. Well, I don't know if there are any mushrooms in summer. Anyway, she had seen mushrooms in spring and autumn before, so if there were any, it would be even better.
When he got home and put down his things, Hao Xin practiced the Sun and Moon Art again, and was sweating all over. He then scrubbed up to pick up Hong Xi. When he came to the Chen family, he could see Xiaoling taking Hong Xi and hopss in the yard, but most of them were Hong Xi watching Xiaoling jump.
"Mom." Seeing Hao Xin and Hong Xi running over immediately, Hao Xin picked her up.
"Xiaoling, thank you so much today." Hao Xin thanked Xiaoling. Xiaoling felt a little embarrassed. Few adults would thank her.
"Nothing, auntie, I can take my sister to play next time you don't have time." Xiaoling's eyes were bright, and she felt a sense of pride that she was affirmed.
"Okay, by the way, is your mother here?" Hao Xin smiled, and noticed that she hadn't seen Chen Weihong at this moment, probably not here.
"My mother is out. I can tell her if my aunt has anything to say." Xiaoling said quickly.
"It's nothing. It's almost time for dinner. I have to go back to cook. I originally wanted to thank Director Chen, so I'll thank her tomorrow." Hearing that Director Chen was gone, Hao Xin looked at the sky. It was almost noon and he had to go back to cook.
"Okay, I'll tell my mother." Xiaoling nodded.
