"Er Guo! Er Guo!"
As soon as the dazed Li Shiqiang opened his eyes, he found Xuemei lying on the bedside calling him.
"What happened, Xuemei?"
"It's time for breakfast, Erguo."
"need!"
Li Shiqiang had just stood up on the bed when he unconsciously looked at his bare room. Not only was there no wardrobe or bedside table, there was not even a long bench to sit on.
But he still breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously: That's great!
Since he was reborn, he has been busy for two days and one night, going down the platoon and going into the mountains.
He didn't rest much at all, because he was always afraid in his heart, afraid that this was a dream and that he would go back to his previous life as soon as he closed his eyes.
Fortunately, he was really reborn and was not dreaming!
"Well...!"
After Li Shiqiang stretched out happily, he found Xuemei still lying on the bedside staring at him.
"What's going on, Xuemei? Haven't you eaten already?"
Li Shimei has a thin face, but her skin is as white as snow and looks dewy.
Because it was winter when she was born, and there was a rare snowfall that day, her family called her Xuemei since she was a child.
"Erguo, what did you bring back from the mountain yesterday?"
Looking at Xuemei's expectant eyes, Li Shiqiang understood immediately.
He stroked the little guy's head and said with a smile: "I didn't have much time yesterday. Next time I go to the top of the mountain, I will hunt a wild rabbit for you to eat!"
"Got it!"
Xuemei's eyes lit up, she immediately stood up and took his hand and said, "Erguo, come and eat, we've all finished eating, and you're the only one who's still sleeping in!"
"Slow down, slow down! I haven't even put on my coat yet!"
When Li Shiqiang came to the main room, he found that there was no one in the room.
"Where are mom and the old man?"
"You've already gone to work! Mom said you were too tired and asked me to wait for you to sleep a little longer before calling you. But I've already finished feeding the cows, and Erguo is still sleeping in!"
"Erguo, hurry up and eat. Mom also left a salted duck egg for you."
Xuemei first came out of the kitchen with a bowl of sweet potato porridge in both hands, and then ran in to get him a salted duck egg and a bowl of pickles.
After Li Shiqiang simply rinsed his mouth with water and wiped his face, he started to prepare for breakfast, but when he saw the bowl of sweet potato porridge brought to the table by Xuemei, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
In my previous life, my family's conditions were not good, so I basically ate sweet potatoes every meal.
Either sweet potato porridge or sweet potato dry rice.
Li Shiqiang had already been injured by eating sweet potatoes.
Even if the family conditions get better later and they can eat other things, his mother Chen Xianglan still often makes some sweet potatoes to eat.
Later, Chen Xianglan died of cancer, and he finally stopped eating sweet potatoes.
But within two years, every time he ate, he would feel that there was something missing in the rice, and it was not as delicious as the previous meals.
Now, looking at the red sweet potatoes in the bowl, he immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"So sweet!"
Li Shiqiang had just taken a few bites when he noticed Xuemei standing next to him staring at him with a greedy expression.
However, I was not craving for the sweet potato porridge in his bowl, but I was craving for his salted duck eggs.
"Didn't Mom give you something to eat in the morning?" Li Shiqiang took the salted duck eggs, cracked them, and asked while peeling the shells.
"Me and Yao Wa'er's family have half of the food to eat."
Xuemei swallowed, but suddenly said: "You can eat Erguo, but I won't. This is what mom left for you."
"Ha ha..."
Li Shiqiang smiled, divided the salted duck egg into two halves, and handed it over: "Eat quickly! Half for our family!"
"Erguo, you are so kind!" Xuemei took the salted duck egg and quickly stuffed it into her mouth, saying with a bulging mouth.
After eating what he wanted to eat, the little guy immediately slipped out.
After Li Shiqiang finished breakfast, he began to sort out the herbs dug from Laowu Mountain yesterday.
After the herbs are picked, they cannot be sold directly. They must be dried and processed as soon as possible.
Moreover, if he wants to sell these herbs, he has to wait for the next release and follow the bamboo rafts to the medicinal material purchasing store in Nanyang County to sell them.
After all, he had dug up three expensive wild calyx shells, so it would be better to sell them in a bigger place.
Li Shiqiang was drying herbs in the courtyard dam when he suddenly saw the third child, Li Shiping, coming back from outside with the youngest Li Shijun on his back, holding a hatchet in one hand and a bundle of firewood in the other.
"You went to chop wood?"
The third child, Li Shiping, looks somewhat similar to the fourth child, Li Shimei, but she is not as fair as the fourth child, and her whole body looks dark.
"Well, we don't have much firewood at home."
The third child, Li Shiping, nodded calmly, with a somewhat lukewarm attitude.
Li Shiqiang was not surprised when he saw this. The fourth child in the family who had the best relationship with him liked to stick to him the most.
The third eldest child, Li Shiping, is twelve years old and is in the first grade of junior high school. She usually has to help with household chores and take care of the youngest.
However, although the third child is a girl, she has inherited her mother's temperament perfectly. She is stubborn and has a hot temper.
In my memory, Li Shiping, the third child, was someone who never wanted to suffer. She would scold others all afternoon for the slightest thing, and would even start fights with others from time to time.
In her previous life, her character caused her to suffer a lot.
After getting married, there was a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.
I thought that after giving birth to a child, the relationship between the couple would be more harmonious, but the third child, Li Shiping, still couldn't stand the slightest grievance.
In the end, they got divorced and left the children with their mother, and then a woman went to work in the coastal areas.
I remember the last few times I saw the third child, Li Shiping, in my previous life. She was already in her fifties, and her temper was still so hot. She would not only throw bowls and quarrels, but also pick fights with others.
Li Shiqiang stood up, lifted the youngest on Li Shiping's back to the ground, lowered his head and scolded: "You don't have long legs? You are so big that you still have to be carried on your back to walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, the youngest Li Shijun immediately pursed his lips in displeasure.
Li Shiping smiled nonchalantly, then looked at the herbs placed on the courtyard dam and asked, "Second brother, are these the herbs you picked on the top of the mountain yesterday?"
Although the third child, Li Shiping, has a bad temper, it is only towards outsiders.
Ever since she was a child, no matter where she was, she had always been very kind to her family members without any complaints.
In her previous life, she had always been helping her eldest sister and Lao Wu.
"Yes. How are the old man's feet? Can he get off the ground?"
"That's it! When the old man got up this morning, he said that his feet were much better. Mom was still saying that it was lucky that you knew how to find some herbal medicine, otherwise you would have had to see Dr. Wu."
Hearing that his old man's foot was finally getting better, Li Shiqiang also smiled a little.
Li Shiping picked up an herb and looked at it curiously, and said, "Second brother, tell me how you want to take care of these herbs, and I'll help you get them."
"If you want, I'll teach you. When it's done, I'll go to the river to grab some yellow chili dices and bring them back to eat."
"Second brother! Are you going to catch Huang Lading?"
Li Shiping's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that she could eat fish.
