Chapter 116: Regenerated Rice
"Ali, don't scare us!" Shen Fuyou was nervous, but he didn't dare to admit it.
When we entered the village, the people in Bear Village had already fallen asleep.
When they returned home, Wu and Zhang saw that Chen Xinli and others had bought a lot of food and other items, and the two women finally felt relieved.
After heating up dinner for a few people, everyone went to bed.
Chen Xinli was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open. Just as she was about to go to sleep, she heard her mother Wu muttering casually, "This old man was just knocking on the wall, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The child fell asleep quickly and fell asleep without paying attention.
In the middle of the night, the autumn rain fell sparsely, bringing bursts of cool air.
Chen Xinli leaned closer to Wu, but still felt the cool breeze coming through the wooden window in front of the bed, making her forehead feel cold.
Early the next morning, Chen Xinli was woken up by the cold.
Fortunately, the sky has cleared up.
Seeing Wu and Zhang busy in the kitchen, Chen Xinli stepped forward and said:
"Mother, Second Aunt, we bought a lot of cotton clothes and quilts yesterday. The weather is getting colder now. Grandpa and grandma are old, and Jinlin and little brother are young. It's not worth it if they get sick sleeping on the floor all the time."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Zhang looked at her niece's sleepy eyes with some heartache and replied, "We can't let our Ah Li catch a cold while sleeping.
Last night, my niece was stirring around, and Xiao Jinlin also tried hard to get under the quilt.
Zhang knew that the children might be cold.
"Your father and your grandfather are still short of the wood they prepared. In another half a month, we will be able to build the house."
"Build a house? Did Dad agree?"
Chen Xinli said in surprise.
"Yes," Wu said with a slight smile, "Your father and your second uncle have been preparing wood. Although your grandfather and his family have a lot of hay on the ground where they sleep, it will definitely not be able to withstand the winter..."
"That's great! If we can live in a new house, we can have a good winter."
Chen Xinli said expectantly.
"We can't build a big one," Mrs. Wu said to her daughter, "just build a few simple rooms so everyone has a bed to sleep in."
"Mother, if you want to build it, build it well. My brothers are grown up and need their own space. I also want my own room. I have some money here, and I will pay for it if you don't have enough.
At that time, we will put a thick mattress on everyone's bed, and then ask Dad and Big Brother to make some fire baskets, one for each of us, and we can put them directly on the bed.
You won’t feel cold sleeping in winter.”
Chen Xinli thought about it and then spoke out what was in her mind.
"Keep your money safe," Zhang warned, "don't let anyone know. Your second uncle, I, your father, and your mother have saved up some private money these days.
Thanks to Dr. Meng, the herbs we dug will probably sell for a good price, so you don't have to worry about building the house."
"Yes, Ali, listen to your second aunt."
"Okay," Chen Xinli winked at the two of them, thinking that she must build a good house.
After going out and looking around, he suddenly remembered something, "Mother, where is Meng Yun? I didn't see him yesterday."
"Maybe he went to dig some precious medicinal herbs," Wu Yuehua brought the cooked multi-grain porridge to the table, and the family prepared to eat.
"Forget it, leave some food for him, let's eat first."
After breakfast, Chen Xinli took out all the quilts, cotton clothes and cotton cloth in the space, and asked her family to cut quilt covers today and make a set of clothes for each person.
Shen Jinlin and Shen Yulin were so happy that they grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it around themselves and ran away, shouting, "I have new clothes to wear, I have new clothes to wear!"
"childish!"
Shen Yushan looked at his two younger brothers and said something for no reason.
Chen Xinyu looked in the direction they were running with some envy.
Chen Xinli ran forward to stop her brother and said, “Put the cloth down quickly, don’t get it dirty.
Everyone in the family will have one, and when the time comes, everyone else will be dressed neatly, but our little Jinlin will look ugly in clothes made of this dirty cloth."
"No, I don't want to wear dirty things." The little brat immediately rolled up the cloth that had been dragged to the ground, carefully patted the dust off it, and put it back to its original place.
Shen Jinshan and Zhang Xiaodi were responsible for arranging accommodation for the newly purchased ducks and geese.
In the morning, Shen Fugui and Shen Fuyou had completed the final finishing work at the pool behind the house under the guidance of Old Man Wu.
Just wait for the weather to get better and let it dry in the sun for two days, then you can use it.
"Mom, Second Aunt, let's have shepherd's purse dumplings for lunch. I'll go dig some shepherd's purse."
Chen Xinli shouted into the courtyard and went out with a small backpack on her back.
When she came back last night, she saw a lot of shepherd's purse growing everywhere on the mountain.
It had just rained, and the shepherd's purse was fresh and tender. It was best to dig it up and make dumplings with pork belly.
When I want to eat something, I can't wait even a quarter of an hour.
"Ali, going up the mountain?"
By the creek east of the village, several women were washing clothes, two of them were greeting Chen Xinli.
"Yes, are the aunts doing the laundry?"
Chen Xinli recognized that two of them were the women who went to the town together yesterday.
"You are just a little kid, don't go too far up the mountain."
One of the women noticed that Shen Xinli had slowed down and reminded her.
Since the day when the Golden Flower Goddess appeared, the snakes in the village seemed to have collectively entered a state of hibernation. More and more people came to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs, and took them to the town to sell or exchange for other items. Every household could smell the smell of meat.
Of course, it’s just bone soup, but it’s also something to be happy about.
