Chapter 478 Splendid Countryside 8
He was a man with pockmarks all over his face. He was not tall, probably only about 1.5 meters tall. He was short and stocky, and his clothes were a bit shabby.
There was contempt in the eyes when he looked at Old Man Zhou and the other two, as if he himself was doing very well.
"Liu Mazi, it's not your turn to comment on my family's affairs."
"If you have time, you should tidy yourself up. It's okay to look sloppy and dirty!"
Old man Zhou changed his kind attitude and spoke to Liu Mazi in a harsh tone.
"Oh, it seems that Master Zhou's family has revoked your lease on your land, and you still haven't realized your mistake?"
"You still have the time to meddle in my business. I really don't know what to say to you."
After Liu Mazi finished speaking, he clicked his tongue and shook his head, looking as if he was disappointed in his child.
"Come on, even if my family is not good, it is still much better than yours."
"If you have the time to meddle in my family's affairs, you should focus on your own life first!"
Old man Zhou didn't want to pay any attention to this person at all. He was the village scoundrel.
I don't want to do any work and just eat and wait to die all day long.
He takes a little from the east and takes a bite from the west, and does a lot of petty theft.
Whenever something is missing from someone's house, nine out of ten times it is related to this Liu Mazi.
Old man Zhou didn't want to talk any more with such people, so he left quickly with his son and daughter-in-law.
"Bah, sooner or later you will not be able to survive, and you still have the nerve to look down on me?"
"Just wait!"
Liu Mazi looked at the backs of the three people, spat fiercely, then turned in another direction and walked towards another place.
"My dear wife, next time you go out alone and meet this Liu Mazi, remember to stay away from him."
"This guy is a scoundrel in the village. He's the only one at home. He spends all day either stealing or acting like a scoundrel."
"If he dares to get close to you, just hit him and don't show any mercy."
Being entangled by such a person is not a good thing.
At that time, there was a newly married young wife in the village. She didn't know what kind of person Liu Mazi was, so she chatted with him for a few more words when he started talking to her.
As a result, Liu Mazi turned around and told the villagers that the young wife had seduced him.
He even ran to someone's house, talked nonsense, and finally blackmailed them for an old hen before he shut up.
Zhou Yuesheng remembered this incident clearly, so he really didn't want to deal with Liu Mazi.
Of course, if Liu Mazi dared to touch his wife, he would fight to the death.
What's more, there is no one in my father-in-law's family who is easy to deal with.
Liu Mazi had better not mess with his wife.
"I know, I won't mess with him!"
Lin Wanwan said she understood and followed the two back home.
Mrs. Zhou was standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking forward to it. When she saw the three people, she immediately came to greet them.
"You guys are finally back. I was so worried about you all this time."
They were worried that the wild boars would not be sold and that they would be stolen in the middle of the journey.
Mrs. Zhou was extremely restless.
Now that I see him coming back, I can finally put my mind at ease.
"I'm back. I bought some meat. Let's make dumplings for dinner!"
"Ask your daughter-in-law what kind of filling she likes. We have cabbage and radish at home. You can make whatever filling she wants!"
Old Man Zhou handed over the basket in his hand and gave Mrs. Zhou some instructions.
"Don't worry, I will definitely cook it according to my daughter-in-law's taste."
Mrs. Zhou first carried the basket to the kitchen, and then found Lin Wanwan and asked her what kind of dumplings she liked.
In fact, as long as there is meat, dumplings with any filling will taste good.
But Lin Wanwan still expressed her thoughts.
"I've been so busy these past two days that I haven't been able to pick any wild vegetables, and I don't have any shepherd's purse at home!"
Mrs. Zhou didn't expect that her daughter-in-law wanted to eat shepherd's purse dumplings. There were shepherd's purse dumplings in the field, but it took time to pick them.
"That's not difficult. My husband and I will go out and pick some. Mom, you prepare the rest."
"Once you have kneaded the dough and chopped the meat, we will be back."
Lin Wanwan said this, went into the utility room, picked up a basket, and then took Zhou Yuesheng out.
With Mrs. Zhou at home, she didn't have to worry about anything, and the two of them went all the way to the field.
There were a lot of wild vegetables growing here, so the two of them immediately squatted down and started picking them.
Pull apart the leaves of the shepherd's purse, insert a small shovel, and pick out the shepherd's purse by inserting and prying.
The two of them were very fast and filled half of the basket in a short while.
Of course, all the shepherd's purse at the edge of the field was picked by the two of them.
"There's one at the foot of the back mountain. I'll take you there."
Zhou Yuesheng did not take Lin Wanwan to pick wild vegetables from other people's fields, but took his young wife to the back mountain.
This place is a bit remote, and there is a small stream flowing from the mountains into the river.
There are many wild vegetables growing on both sides of the stream.
On weekdays, the women and children in the village like to come here to pick wild vegetables.
Almost all the easy places had been picked up by others, so Zhou Yuesheng took Lin Wanwan to a place that was a bit difficult to walk on.
Although it is not easy to walk, there are really a lot of shepherd's purse.
In addition to shepherd's purse, dandelion was also not spared.
I'll go back later and make some cold salad with motherwort, it tastes pretty good too.
The most important thing is that it cools down and reduces heat. Eating it has only benefits and no harm to the human body.
The two of them filled the basket in a short while. Zhou Yuesheng was worried, so he let Lin Wanwan lie on his back and carried her out of the overgrown area.
"Let's go!"
Only when we reached the flat carpet did we put the person down.
Then he stretched out his hand, took his young wife's hand, and walked towards home.
The two men walked one step ahead and the other behind, their shadows stretched out long under the setting sun.
This picture is very beautiful, and it touches the hearts of both of them.
Lin Wanwan also experienced what it was like to be in love with a little boy.
I have to say, this kind of life is really not bad.
"You two are back! We picked a lot of wild vegetables!"
"Okay, daughter-in-law, go and rest, and let me take care of the rest."
"I've already kneaded the dough and chopped the meat filling. I'm just waiting for the shepherd's purse."
As Mrs. Zhou spoke, she took the basket and poured the shepherd's purse into the basin.
While picking the shepherd's purse, the two of them had already picked up all the dead leaves and weeds.
At this time, there is no need to screen it again, just rinse it with water.
"My dear wife, you are tired today, go and rest for a while!"
"I'll help Mom roll out the dumpling wrappers later. The two of us are very fast, and you can have them in no time."
Zhou Yuesheng is not the kind of male chauvinist who never goes into the kitchen.
Moreover, in the countryside, there are few men who don’t touch the stove.
On weekdays, I also help fetch water, chop firewood, and make fire to heat meals.
Except for a few top-notch people, most of the people in Qingshan Village are relatively simple and honest.
Things in the village are just like that!
Everyone wants to live their own life well, and as long as they don't make trouble to the village chief, the villagers rarely interfere in other people's affairs.
