Chapter 419 The miserable Le Dad

When Le Dad Zhou Qiufeng was sleeping, he thought about how much money his child had and that there were things worth tens of millions around him. He was afraid that someone would know about it and have evil intentions. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Restless, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

A couple didn't sleep much, so they woke up in the morning with dark bags under their eyes. The couple went to the kitchen to boil water and wash their faces. Le's father went to feed the chickens and ducks, and Zhou Qiufeng made food.

They didn’t sleep well all night. Leyun slept very soundly. On the first day back home, she had no room to sleep at night. After taking care of the space crops, she lay down on her old bed that she had slept on for more than ten years. I slept beautifully on the wooden bed. I woke up on time and found that my aunt was here. I hurriedly packed myself and meditated.

She knew when her father and Aunt Feng would get up, and she was not in a hurry to go out after the meditation. Her father and Aunt Feng wanted her to sleep a little longer, so they did everything lightly. Then he complied with their wishes and showed up later.

After meditating, I quietly changed into my home clothes, and quietly packed my luggage bag, which I would take with me to the tent, food, clothes, shoes, rainproof cloth, mineral water and a bag of water. Only the boss's empty Coke bottle and other items were put into the backpack.

When it was already dark, Le Yun walked out of her room, sneaked to the backyard and ran into a hut, washed her hands in the backyard, walked into the cattle and pig stalls, and secretly took out a small handful of sweet potato vines from the space. After throwing it to the pigs, he picked up the hoe from the corner and dug the soil in a corner of the garden. After digging for a while, he dug up a few small konjac and quietly threw them into the space.

Konjac, also called konjac, is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows stems in the soil like sweet potatoes. The whole plant is poisonous and cannot be eaten raw, but it is a delicacy after being made into food. Medicine, has anti-cancer and intestinal cleansing effects.

Konjac is rare in the city, but more common in the countryside. It can usually survive in the corners in front of and behind the house.

The Le family members probably have a genetic legacy. At first, Grandpa Le Tai loved to eat konjac, and he planted it in front of and behind the house. Later, his children and grandchildren all loved to eat it, and they also moved the konjac to the corner of the back garden and the front garden. inside.

The shape of konjac is a bit like a water chestnut. The difference is that the top of the water chestnut is convex, while the top of konjac is concave. The stems of konjac are generally round, and only the small konjac that grows have a round shape. Elongated or other shapes.

Le Yun dug slowly and found a dozen konjac seeds and threw them back into the space. Then she carefully dug down the soil and dug out several large konjacs. Judging by the shape, they could be dug out during the New Year. Lots of konjac tofu.

Cover it with shallow soil again, return the hoe to its original position, and watch the big pigs and little pigs in the pig pen eat up all the sweet potato vines, not even a scrap is left. I feel relieved and run home to rush away. Wash your face and brush your teeth.

"Lele, what are you digging in the back garden so early in the morning?" My girl rushed into the kitchen excitedly, Dad Le smiled and gave her a small chair.

"Dad, Aunt Feng, I went to the back garden to look at konjac and found quite a few. I will grind them during the Chinese New Year. When I come back, I will dig up a few medicinal materials and bring them back. I will boil water and lime water and grind the konjac until they are smooth. The konjac tofu is more delicious and crispy."

"I have dug it out a long time ago, and there are four in the corner of the back garden that are larger than bowls, and there are two older ones, one of which has a washbasin. Big, there are seven in the corner of the garden in front of the house that are larger than bowls, and one is as big as a small washbasin. I told your Aunt Feng that the one with the biggest New Year grinder will be mined when school starts. You can dig out a few medium-sized ones and bring them to the Chao family in the capital. It’s too big to carry.”

“Hmm, I’ll just take the small one with the size of a basin to the capital, and keep the others to grow, so that they can grow to the size of a basin next winter. Dad, you are not allowed to dig it until I come back. You have to leave it to me."

"If Lele doesn't come back at the age of twenty-eight, I will dig it and won't help you keep it. Digging konjac is the most enjoyable. Then the boss one is like a rolling millstone."

"Dad, you said you would leave it to me."

"I will dig it for you when you come back on time. "

"Aunt Feng, come on, my dad is bullying your girl."

"Okay, let Lele dig the giant konjac for your enjoyment, I I'll help you guard and don't let your father move." Zhou Qiufeng was listening to a father and daughter fighting to dig up konjac, laughing and watching the battle, but was dragged into the battle and had to help the girl.

“I’m so sad when I have a girl but not a husband.” Dad Le pretended to be jealous.

"Dad, why are you not as popular as your little cotton-padded jacket." Le Yun chuckled.

"Okay, little cotton-padded jacket is popular, but I am not popular."

"Dad, you don't need to be very popular, you just need to have popular children. As long as we and our wives are together."

"This made me feel good. My wife and children are connected, so it's okay even if I don't even care about the dog."

"You're not a meat bun, it's strange that a dog can care about you." Zhou Qiufeng prepared the food and handed the chopsticks to Yueqing, who was bickering with her daughter.

Dad Le: "..." He is weak and weak, and he can't defeat the three of them.

Leyun was eating with her bowl in her arms, having fun while eating; Zhou Qiufeng had eaten breakfast, put the pig food on the pot stand to heat, and when Xiao Lele had packed up, she drove the Yueqing car with a carport. A tricycle took the girl to Shennong Mountain.

Dad Le stood at the door and sent Zhou Qiufeng and the little cotton-padded jacket away. He turned back to mix the pig food and feed the pigs. He had done the housework and was about to clean up before going to the workshop when his mother-in-law came.

Grandma Zhou ran into Lele’s house wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and asked cheerfully: “Yueqing, I heard Lele’s voice last night. It was Lele who came back.Already? "

"Auntie, have you eaten yet? Lele came home just before dark yesterday. She didn't go over to talk to you. She went into the mountains again this morning. Xiaofeng sent her there. Her son must have left the countryside by now. ”

“You just got home and you didn’t even get hot from sitting on the stool, so you went to the mountains again? "Grandma Zhou wanted to curse: "How on earth did you two become parents? The child finally came back, and it was such a cold weather and you let Lele go to the mountain. You are not afraid that the child will get sick from the cold. . "

"Auntie, I don't want Lele to run into the mountains, but Xiaofeng and I can't stop her at all. If we don't agree, she will sneak away. "Le's father feels so wronged. Every time Lele goes deep into the mountains and forests, the elders accuse him, and he, a veteran father, takes the blame for his daughter.

"Forget it, you and your wife are both weak. Er Genzi, I won’t talk about you anymore. Did Lele say when you will come back? Qiufeng's brother said that pigs would be killed on the 26th, so I came here just to say in advance that I wanted to tell Lele to stop running around and eat pig head meat that day. "

"Lele didn't say when she would come back. It might take four or five days. I told Xiaofeng that we would kill pigs on the 28th, but if she couldn't make it back, I would..."
< br />　“What happened to you if you didn’t come back that day? Want to have a good time? You are promising. "

"No, no, I didn't say beating him. What I said was that when Lele didn't come back that day, I dug up all the konjac in the back garden and didn't help Lele. "

"You and your son compete every year to dig up konjac and make a profit. There is also konjac behind my house. Lele loves to dig and let her help dig and play with it. It’s fun. "

"Auntie, Lele will help you dig the konjac. Once she digs it, she won't be able to give it to you. She will take it back and play with it. "Dad Le burst into tears in his heart. His girl has been fond of konjac since she was a child. Whenever she digs it up and doesn't play with it for a day or two, she won't let it go. She uses it as a millstone and a wheel to play with, and sometimes she falls and gets bumps and bumps. It’s a waste of time.

“If she likes to play, let her play. Forget it, Lele is not at home, so I won’t have to deal with you anymore. I’ll come back when Lele comes back. "Unable to find the pistachio that jumped happily every day, Grandma Zhou didn't sit down and went back to her home.

Dad Le took off his apron, put on his shoes, drove to work, and just arrived at Village Chief Zhou's house Not far away, Village Chief Zhou took Hu to the street and asked him: "Yueqing, I heard that Lele is back? Let me tell you Jialeleyaozi, my family will kill pigs on the 25th, and ask her and Qiufeng to come and drink soup, so you won’t come and just go to your class. "

"..." Lele's father answered bravely: "Uncle Zhou Man, Lele came back yesterday, but he went to Shennong Mountain again early this morning. "

"Going to the mountains again? Yueqing, you bastard, today is the Chinese New Year, and you still let your girl run out. Why are you so stupid, you can't always defeat your girl..."

Village Chief Zhou Bala Bala scolded her with just one sentence: It was the father's fault that he failed to control the girl and let her run away. Anyway, the child is right.

Le’s dad’s soul once again received 100 million critical hit points. He didn’t dare to cry out for injustice, and his heart was extremely miserable. He had to endure the spit from Village Chief Zhou, and waited for the old general. The village chief walked to the parking place on the street and fled to the workshop.

Compared to Le’s father’s depressed mood, Zhou Qiufeng felt much more comfortable. She drove her car on the country road and stopped at a small store in a passing village to buy dry food.

Because the road was a bit far and the wind was strong in winter, the speed was a little slow. It took about two minutes to deliver the person to the foot of a mountain in the Shennong Mountain area.

Zhou Qiufeng didn’t say any harsh words of advice. She only told her children to take care of themselves and go home as early as possible. Then at Xiao Lele’s insistence, she turned around and drove home. After walking a long way, she looked back at her child. Lele was still watching, feeling warm in her heart.

Watching Aunt Feng and the car turn into a small dot, Le Yun carried her luggage and walked deep into the mountain along the foot of the mountain. When she walked to a place where no one was around, she returned to space first and picked up herself. The small mushrooms dug in the morning were brushed clean of the soil and washed with well water, then planted in the medicinal field and watered with well water.

Checking the space, there was nothing to collect. We went out again and walked toward the mountains. We still reached a small village that had been relocated.

She is not a resident of Shennong District, and she doesn’t know very well which small villages in Shennong District have been relocated to districts and towns with convenient transportation, but she can find out if she just asks people. After all, they have been relocated. It is a major event, especially collective relocation. Subsidies, housing, etc. are related to the vital interests of the people, and many people are paying attention to it.

It was already noon when we climbed up the winding mountain road to the abandoned village after relocation. Winter in the north of E is generally relatively dry, and it was also a sunny day with bright light.

There are only five or six families in the abandoned village. They have been moved for four or five years. The old mud walls or wooden houses are dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. Some roofs are covered with grass. Or a sapling about three or two feet tall.

Le Yun climbed to a higher ground and observed it. She didn’t see any aura. She walked around the front and back of the residents’ buildings, picking up useful things and valuables. I picked up several old jars for holding wine. They were all relatively old. The jars made with the most rustic method didn't have any fancy shapes, but they were particularly thick and solid.

I also picked up old-fashioned wooden basins, buckets, and two water jars that were not broken. One was broken by a falling wall, and the other was intact. I also picked up a set of stone hammers for pounding rice. A pair of medium-sized stone mills that can be used to grind tofu, corn flour, etc., old sand jars, and a few bottles and jars. I picked up everything that caught my eye and could be used, and moved it to the water to wash it clean. Get the space back and turn it into a collectible.

　After wandering around the abandoned village, I really didn’t get much. I went deep into the mountains and headed towards my goal. Because my aunt was here, I walked slowly. I dug up medicinal materials as I walked. I collected all the fungus and mushrooms. Eat when you are hungry. Drink fruit when you are thirsty, go to bed early and get up early, and try not to catch cold.

She searched for medicinal materials like locusts crossing the border. On the third day, that is, on the afternoon of the 22nd, she arrived at her destination—the wild honey nest she had discovered before.

The honey nest is halfway up a hill on a large mountain in the Nantianmen area of ​​Shennong Mountain. Because of the steep terrain, no one or few animals visit it.

Leyun rushed over the mountains and ridges to the end of the field and found the big tree where the bees had made their nest. The tree was thicker than her waist, and it grew close to a stone. The bee's nest was in the soil under the stone. .

Arrive at the place, observe for a while, take out the sickle to clean up the weeds, use the hoe to dig the soil, and conduct reconnaissance based on experience. The bee family is very prosperous, so there is plenty of honey.

Dig slowly, from the bottom up, dig out a place, and then dig out the soil. After digging for a while, I finally dug out the honeycomb, only a little was exposed. It looked like the honeycomb was very big.

Seeing the results, Le Yun became more careful. She opened the window wider and pried away the clods of soil. The honeycomb was quickly exposed. There was an empty space under the stone. The bees found it somehow. To make a home, the hive is partly glued to the stone and partly to the soil.

The bees hollowed out the surrounding area, and the nest was more than enough to nest in the soil. Naturally, the honeycomb was not as big as the nest in the cave in Taihang Mountain. It was only as big as a small pot with a diameter of about one or two meters wide. .

Bees that make nests in the soil are called stone bees or soil bees in rural areas. The bees are also relatively small.

The nest was dug open, and a cold wind invaded. The bees on the honeycomb were buzzing and crawling, and some flew out of the nest and flew in the air.

Le Yun took out a large handful of dendrobium flowers and put them aside, then took out a knife, put on gloves, and carefully took out the honey. It was cold in winter, and bees generally did not sting people, nor were they big. The scale came out.

A small number of bees smell the fragrance and go to pick flowers, while others stay on the hive.

Retrieving honey is a technical job. Le Yun is experienced and can do it with ease. She cuts off a piece, pushes away the bees attached to the honeycomb block, throws the piece of honey back into space, and removes nine pieces in a row. Leave half of the honey nest for the bees to spend the winter. Even if it is not many days before the beginning of spring, it will not be warm until the end of the second lunar month and the bees can work at that time, so you need to leave enough food for them.

Put away the knife, change into a pair of gloves, find a few stones to build up the dug hole, then cover it with soil, and finally cover the surface with grass and cover the dug hole. Reset to prevent the bee nest from being invaded by wind and rain or freezing to death due to cold.

Protect the home of bees, remove the bees from the dendrobium flowers, and put away the bouquets. It is too cold and the bees will smell the fragrance and run out to pick the flowers. They may freeze to death. Keeping the bouquets will kill them. It's better not to keep them.

After harvesting honey, Leyun embarked on a journey to find medicinal materials.
