Chapter 374: The ten-year-old uncle is a bit old-fashioned
"Are those the people?"
A soft and charming female voice sounded in the darkness.
"No, they are indeed members of the Li family. Lijiazhai didn't drive them out and even let them stay overnight." The man said respectfully.
"We still can't be careless. Have we found the two people in the mountains?" the woman asked.
"I didn't find it. It might have been eaten by wild animals."
"Kimura-kun, don't forget that you are loyal to Tian Huang. The Chinese are very cunning. If you can't find their bodies, they are still alive. Keep looking!"
The woman's tone was cold and stern, full of intimidation.
"Ha!"
The man agreed respectfully.
He didn't stay here long. After finishing his report, he left and returned to his home. When he went to bed, Aunt Jinhua woke up and stretched out her hand, saying, "Where's the money?"
The man obediently took out a dollar and was particularly honest in front of Aunt Jinhua.
"Those people are so rich. I'll boil eggs for you tomorrow. Go to sleep!"
Aunt Jinhua's eyes lit up. She stuffed a dollar under her pillow, turned over and continued to sleep, and soon began to snore.
The man looked at her with disgust and lay on the other side of the bed, sleeping back to back with Aunt Jinhua, but he couldn't sleep all night. He had too many things on his mind and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Luo Xinxin also couldn't sleep.
Second Grandma was very polite and took out a new quilt, but because it was not prepared in advance, the quilt had not been dried in the sun and was very damp, making it very uncomfortable to cover myself with.
So Luo Xinxin took out her own quilt from the space and changed it back in the morning. Li Rong and the two little ones were sleeping soundly, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She had sweated all day and her body was sticky. She really wanted to take a shower, but she was too embarrassed to ask her second grandmother to boil water in the middle of the night, so she just endured it and ended up suffering from insomnia.
She didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. In the morning, Li Rong and the others were all up, but she was still sleeping in bed.
"Xinxin was tired yesterday, let her sleep a little longer."
Li Rong explained for her.
"City people have never climbed a mountain. Your wife looks so delicate and is willing to follow you across mountains and rivers. What a good girl!"
The second uncle praised Luo Xinxin highly. His eldest sister-in-law had disliked the mountains at first and wanted to go back to Shanghai after only a few days. However, his eldest sister-in-law was a very nice person. She had no complaints even though the eldest brother sent so much money and food coupons back home.
The main reason is that the mountains are too poor, and it is normal for my sister-in-law, a city girl, to not be used to it.
Breakfast is corn rice, fried fresh vegetables, fried bacon, fried eggs with leeks, and fried vegetables. Although the dishes are simple, they are delicious dishes that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year in the mountains.
"I almost forgot. I bought some things in the county town yesterday."
Li Rong went back to the room and took out a big bag. It was filled with things he had bought in the county town yesterday, including scallion pancakes, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, etc. There was also a lot of meat bought in the mall.
As for food, he planned to go down the mountain in a few days to buy some rice from the mall and then carry it up the mountain. Otherwise, with so many people and big appetites, they would eat their second uncle's family into poverty.
"What are you going to do with all this meat? It's not like Second Uncle can't feed you!"
Second uncle frowned and scolded unhappily.
Li Rong smiled and put the bag directly into the kitchen. No matter how good the relatives were, they could not eat and drink for free. Moreover, this was the first time he and his second uncle's family met, and their relationship was not that deep. Even if his second uncle had no objection, the younger generations would definitely have some thoughts.
Luo Xinxin slept until noon. There was sunshine during the day and the temperature was high in the mountains. She boiled some water, took a good bath, and also gave the two little ones a bath.
Fortunately, there is a deep pool near the village, the bottom of which has never been seen. Everyone in the village depends on this deep pool for their livelihood, so they never lack water.
After taking a bath, Luo Xinxin finally felt comfortable. Lunch was still very rich, with stir-fried pork with peppers, scallion pancakes, fried dough sticks and buns, etc. The children of the Li family were very happy. Even during the Chinese New Year, they didn’t get to eat so much meat. They hoped that there would be guests at home every day so that they could eat meat every day!
Li Long liked Damao and Ermao very much. He took the two brothers to bask in the sun and taught them to speak Miao language.
"Uncle."
Li Long was very patient and never got impatient even after teaching him more than ten times.
"Uncle..."
Damao finally said it, and it was very authentic.
"Smart, worthy of being my great-nephew."
Li Long grinned and took out a black wild fruit from his pocket. It was very soft and seedless. Juice came out with just a sip. He picked it specially for the two children.
Damao likes to eat this wild fruit very much. With a smack, the fruit bursts in his mouth, and it tastes sour and sweet, and is especially delicious.
“Ahhh…”
Ermao was so anxious that he stood up with his hands on Lilong's knees, jumping up and down in anxiety. He also wanted to eat the delicious fruit.
"You can only eat fruit if you tell me the truth."
Li Long picked up a wild fruit and teased Ermao like a puppy. The little guy was so greedy that his chin was full of saliva.
"So what if you give it to Ermao? You're so stingy!"
Li Gang happened to pass by and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
“You don’t understand!”
Li Longtou didn't even lift his head. His elder brother knew nothing but working hard, eating hard, and having children hard. He was born to be a slave.
"You understand? You can go to heaven?"
Li Gang snorted in dissatisfaction. The little bastard relied on being the high priest's apprentice to act so arrogantly at home that he even dared to tell his elder brother what to do. Sometimes he really wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson.
But he didn't dare, because his father would definitely beat him!
The high priest will also come to settle accounts with him!
"Going to the sky is so easy. You can just take a plane."
Li Long speaks slowly, like a little adult.
"What kind of chicken is an airplane? Is it delicious?"
Li Gang immediately became interested and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He hadn't eaten chicken for a long time. How about asking his mother to kill a chicken to entertain his nephew's family?
"The plane is made of iron and it's not tasty. Brother, don't think about food all the time."
Li Long sighed. This family would surely fall apart without him. Alas!
"If you don't think about food, what else do you think about?"
Li Gang rolled his eyes. Isn’t it that ordinary people only care about food and clothing?
"Uncle..."
Ermao suddenly shouted loudly, his words were very clear. Li Long smiled and stuffed a wild fruit into the little guy's hand.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle..."
After Ermao finished eating the wild fruit, he started yelling again. Xiaopang was still hitting Lilong's legs with his claws, and Damao on the other leg was not to be outdone. He used their uncle's thigh as a drum and started clapping it.
"Stop filming! My uncle's leg is going to break!"
Li Long's legs were a little numb, and his nephew was very strong. If he continued to hit him, he was afraid that he would become lame at a young age.
In order to save his legs, Li Long took out all the wild fruits in his pocket and fed them to the two children.
But the number of wild fruits he picked was odd, which led to an uneven distribution.
After feeding Damao, Li Long reached into his pocket and found it was empty. The wild fruit was gone.
"No more. Uncle will pick some for you next time."
Li Long didn't think it was a big deal. He thought it was just a child and he could be fine after some comforting.
Ermao opened his pocket in disbelief. His fat paws rummaged in it for a long time but couldn't find a single thing. He pursed his lips sadly and looked at his uncle with grievance, his eyes full of accusations.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle... ahhhhhh... eat the fruit..."
Ermao was like a gramophone, repeatedly calling his uncle. He was unhappy because he ate one less fruit than his brother.
[Third update finished. I went to the Dounan Flower Market in Kunming today. There were so many beautiful flowers. It was a pity that it rained heavily all day in Kunming, so I slept in the hotel. But the small pot rice noodles here are super delicious. I will come back next time.]
