There were three cans of nutritional supplements in total, which were placed in a small backpack and covered with clothes. They didn't look conspicuous at all.
After leaving the house, Li Aihua asked, "My daughter, why did Doctor Zhao prescribe so many nutritional supplements for you? Does the village head know about this?"
How much do so many nutritional supplements cost? Are the village chief’s family so generous?
At this time, she secretly started thinking about recognizing her relatives again.
"Of course he knows. My injury is to my head, which is not easy to repair."
Hu Lin spoke half-truthfully and Li Aihua believed it.
After getting the nutritional supplements, the two of them started living a life of taking medicine in hand three times a day and taking nutritional supplements in the morning and evening.
Hu Xiaoyi asked them about this when he saw them drinking nutritional supplements on the first morning.
Upon learning that it was the village chief who prescribed the medicine for Hu Lin to nourish his body and that Hu Lin shared it with Li Aihua, he stopped asking about it and continued to work on his carpentry in his spare time.
This continued until the Dragon Boat Festival.
They lived a very comfortable life during this period.
The family is small and the land is small, so Li Aihua has a lot of ease and more free time.
Now, apart from cooking and cleaning the house, she spends her days tending to her vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden has been enclosed by a fence. With Li Aihua's careful care every day, some vegetable seeds have already sprouted.
But without fertilizer, the tender shoots look fragile.
The most tired one is Hu Xiaoyi. He starts working as soon as he opens his eyes every day.
These two days, he finally made most of the furniture that the family urgently needed, so he is not so busy anymore, but he is still making furniture.
He was thinking about how to build a chest of drawers.
This was also the task Hu Lin assigned to him. He was not allowed to be idle, but to be like a spinning top without a moment's rest.
She is the one with the least time. Apart from eating and sleeping, she stretches her ligaments and trains her physical fitness.
Every day I have to run back and forth from the bottom of the mountain several times.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, after Li Aihua cleaned up the house, she carried a small backpack and took Hu Lin up the mountain, saying that they were going for an outing.
In fact, it just means digging wild vegetables.
Not only that, after going down the mountain, he took her to the stream to wash her face, saying that it could cure diseases and avoid disasters.
Downstream of the stream, Lao Zheng was leading a cow to drink water. He didn't say hello when he saw them.
After washing her face, Li Aihua inserted the cut mugwort on the door, tied it with red cloth, and hung a paper gourd.
"Where did you get the red cloth?" Hu Lin looked at the tattered red cloth, puzzled.
She remembered that there was no cloth at home.
"I cut it from clothes." Li Aihua explained, "I should have tied it with a colorful string, but I didn't have any at home, so I used red cloth instead."
"You still have red clothes?" Hu Lin was not concerned about this custom.
"I wore it when I got married. It's been lying around for years, and now I can use it."
Li Aihua spoke without any emotion, nor did she show any reluctance or nostalgia.
"Have you always been in charge of these things in the Hu family?" Jianya had no memory of these things, but she was very interested.
"No, your grandmother and your second and fourth aunts always help with the preparations during festivals." Li Aihua went into the house to pick wild vegetables. "I always make rice dumplings in the kitchen during the Dragon Boat Festival, but we can't have them this year because we don't have glutinous rice."
No wonder.
Hu Lin followed and said, "If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. Next year we can eat rice dumplings.
And from now on, you will be the one taking care of every festival and celebration in our family, and no one can replace you.
You have the final say in this family."
"Of course, I've taken care of everything during the days we've lived here." Li Aihua thought of what Cao Zhaodi said, that they would have to move back sooner or later.
Hu Lin didn't say much to her at the moment, and changed the subject, "Let's make the sauerkraut soup we made last time today. I want to eat it."
"good."
Because of the bet, Hu Xiaoyi didn't say much when he saw the sumptuous lunch today.
In the afternoon, Hu Lin took the rope and went up the mountain.
During this period, she would run up the mountain every day after stretching her ligament.
One is to exercise the body, and the other is to see if the prey has been caught.
A few days ago, she set up several traps in the mountains deeper than the one Hu Xiaoyi had been to last time.
She had looked around the area and saw few signs of human activity.
This way, you don't have to worry about accidentally hurting people, or being discovered that someone is hunting in the mountains, and it is easy to catch prey.
But she hadn't caught any prey for several days in a row. If the same thing happened again today, she would have to change her location, to a deeper place.
She looked around vigilantly to prevent attacks from poisonous snakes.
Several coils of rope were slung over his shoulders, and in his hand he held a sharpened branch.
I don’t know if she was lucky or if the poisonous snakes here would not actively attack humans.
She had not been attacked in the past few days, nor had she encountered the poisonous snakes that Hu Xiaoyi had mentioned. She only occasionally saw a few non-venomous snakes jumping by.
After arriving safely at the trap site, Hu Lin saw that there was no prey in the trap and a flash of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
Hu Lin then went to the next trap.
She set three traps here in total, which was all she could make during this period of time.
In order to hide it from Li Aihua and Hu Xiaoyi, she could only secretly take a sickle and go up the mountain to collect materials locally every day.
Now is not the time to talk.
Li Aihua said that people are often injured because of this, so the village does not support hunting.
Presumably, it would be difficult to convince Hu Xiaoyi on this matter, and she was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with him. It would not be too late to talk about it after her quality of life improved.
Before reaching the next trap, Hu Lin saw a pheasant caught in a net from afar.
The pheasant heard the noise, started calling, and flapped its wings to try to escape.
But it has already exhausted itself, and now it is just in vain.
Hu Lin quickly stepped forward, grabbed the pheasant's neck, and inserted the branch in his hand into the pheasant's neck.
The pheasant flapped its wings in its death throes, but soon there was no movement.
The warm blood flowed down the tightly pressed ring finger and soaked Hu Lin's hand holding the branch.
Hu Lin swiftly pulled out a branch, took down the rope hanging on his body, tied up the pheasant's feet, and dragged it to the next trap site.
Seeing that another pheasant was caught in the net, Hu Lin hurried over to deal with it.
Follow the same method to tie the feet of the two chickens and tie the other end of the rope around your waist.
Then quickly leave the place without dealing with or resetting the trap.
The two pheasants are fat and live deep in the mountains, so their fighting power must be strong.
If he hadn't been caught in the net, she would have been unable to hold him down with her current strength, so she would have had to kill him first.
But the smell of blood was deadly in the dense forest, and she didn't know what it would attract, so she had to leave immediately.
Hu Lin was running wildly in the dense forest, holding a bloody branch with a sharp tip in his hand.
When they arrived at the place where Hu Xiaoyi said there were many poisonous snakes, Hu Lin indeed saw the shadows of some poisonous snakes.
It was spitting out its snake tongue towards Hu Lin, ready to attack at any time.
These are all coming for the smell of blood.
Hu Lin watched vigilantly, but at the same time, he continued to run away quickly, dragging the two pheasants.
When they reached the area ahead where humans frequently moved around, Hu Lin leaned against a tree with weak legs and gasped for breath.
The violent breathing put a lot of pressure on her throat, and the air she inhaled scraped the walls of her throat and hurt it.
