At the foot of the mountain, the trees are bare, and all the leaves, mushrooms and wild vegetables that can be picked have been basically used up.
Only the bamboo forest was slightly richer, which made her a little confused.
I'll find a chance to ask Xiao Zhuang's mother tomorrow. If these people don't like it, she'll just dig out some of it.
Thinking of the people behind her, she slowed down and stopped in a place with thicker trees.
It was really difficult to chop down the tree with just this hatchet, so she deliberately took out an axe from her backpack.
Kaka chopped and soon a big tree was felled to the ground.
Bang bang bang!
The little hands clapped vigorously, and the little cutie came out from behind a big tree.
Li Tingyun put down the axe, dusted himself off, and opened his arms towards the little guy.
Xinxin ran over happily and was picked up by her sister.
"Why did you run out by yourself? Your grandfather will be worried if he can't find you." Li Tingyun wiped the little guy's dirty face.
Xinxin suddenly got down from her sister's arms and took a few steps back.
"What's wrong?" Li Tingyun was worried that she would say something wrong. The child was too fragile and she was afraid of hurting him.
Xinxin tugged at his clothes and waved his hand.
Li Tingyun saw that the little guy's clothes were very dirty and there was a bit of an unpleasant smell. However, living in a place like that, it was impossible not to have a smell.
Looking at this sensible little guy, she thought of the child who could not be rescued, and with tears in her eyes she hugged him in her arms.
After a while, she murmured, "Give me a chance, I will definitely heal you."
Yeah yeah yeah!
Xinxin saw her sister crying and wiped her tears.
Li Tingyun took out two rabbit candies from his pocket, put one in his pocket and one in his mouth.
Xinxin tasted the sweetness and smiled.
"You look beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often!" Li Tingyun looked at him and smiled too.
Xinxin took out the candy from his pocket, peeled it and stuffed it into Li Tingyun's mouth.
Li Tingyun ate it, then carried him down the mountain.
The child is in poor health and cannot withstand the cold wind. Besides, Grandpa Guan will definitely be worried if he leaves for too long.
Grandpa Guan saw the bright smile on his grandson's face from afar and secretly wiped away his tears.
Li Tingyun had already seen Grandpa Guan. Seeing him shaking his head, she didn't tell Xinxin. After putting Xinxin down, she whispered, "It's cold, and the wind is strong on the mountain. You can't go up anymore. Wait until your sister is free to come and play with you."
Yeah yeah yeah!
Xinxin nodded obediently.
Li Tingyun watched him go in and quickly returned to the mountain. While no one was around, she took out the electric saw from her space and started sawing again.
After sawing, I took an axe and cut the cuts again. I was sweating when I was done.
Sitting down to catch her breath, she put all the trees into the space and only dragged one big tree down the mountain.
When she returned home, Xu Erhua had not come back yet. She dragged all the wood to the yard and stood it up to avoid it taking up too much space.
After finishing, she was covered in sweat. She went back to her room, closed the door, went to the space to kill and stew the chicken, cooked the rice, and then went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, the chicken was stewed and tasted a bit good. She played with Heifeng in the space for a while. When she heard a knock on the door, she came out of the space holding a pot.
When I opened the door, I saw Xu Erhua standing in front of me with a red face.
It was obvious that he had come back from running. She asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen again?"
"I, I heard that you went up the mountain to cut trees?" When Xu Erhua heard the news, she dropped her things and came back.
"It's okay, my other hand is strong. We can't wait any longer to open the door. It's so cold at night, and I really don't feel safe." Li Tingyun expressed his thoughts.
Xu Erhua actually thought so too, but they didn't have a board, so she didn't say it out loud.
"Are you off work now?" Li Tingyun asked.
"Some have gone to work, and some are working overtime. The peanut harvest is good this year. Today is the last day, and we'll start digging sweet potatoes tomorrow." Xu Erhua replied, then thought of something and said, "The team leader said you need at least two more days of rest."
"I understand." Li Tingyun thought it would be a good time to rest for two days and tidy up the yard.
The tools for making the board were in the space, but she couldn't take them out and use them now. She wanted to go to the city to buy some tools, but she felt it was not a good idea.
After thinking it over, she asked, "Do you know any carpenters? We can't always rely on others for help. The gate is a little too dangerous at night."
Xu Erhua thought about it carefully, then suddenly realized something and said, "Uncle Wang is a carpenter. Wait, I'll go over and see if anyone has returned from his family."
"Okay, then go ahead. If they invite you to dinner, tell them I have already prepared the meal." Li Tingyun had secretly drunk a bowl of chicken soup, which tasted really good.
Xu Erhua nodded, turned around and ran out.
After a while, not only Xu Erhua came back, but Brother Wang also came over with tools on his shoulders.
Li Tingyun was stunned for a moment and quickly took the thing down.
"Brother Wang, just leave your things here and we can handle it ourselves." She felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I have some things to do at home, I'll come back later." After saying that, Brother Wang put down his things and left.
Li Tingyun wondered if Brother Wang hadn't understood what she said. She stood there dumbfounded as she watched him leave like a gust of wind.
"Have you cooked? If not, I'll go cook it." Xu Erhua said as she was going to the kitchen. She felt that Brother Wang would come over soon.
Li Tingyun held Xu Erhua and said, "No need to cook, I've prepared everything. Let's go to my room."
Xu Erhua didn't understand. Now that there were no outsiders around, why did they have to go to the room to eat?
When she followed him into the room and smelled the aroma of chicken soup, she realized that Li Tingyun had stewed the chicken.
"Drink your soup and eat your meal. Eat and drink enough so you can work better later." Li Tingyun knew that Xu Erhua had been scared and exhausted these past few days.
"I'll just drink the soup." Xu Erhua was too embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks.
"Eat it. I can't finish it by myself. Let's wait for a chance to invite the Wang family to eat chicken in the future. We can't let outsiders know that we eat so well." Li Tingyun felt a little embarrassed at first not to invite Brother Wang to eat chicken, but when she thought about how many people would stare at her if she invited people to dinner in this era, she had to give up.
"Then starting tomorrow, shall we also eat sweet potato rice?" Xu Erhua said.
"Okay, after I go to work, we can no longer eat with Xiaozhuang's family. You can talk to Xiaozhuang's mother about this when you go to work tomorrow." Li Tingyun didn't want to trouble others anymore.
Some favors can be accepted, but not forever, otherwise they will easily be exhausted.
Xu Erhua also agreed with this, put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "Sister, you have to promise me one thing too."
