Chapter 481 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 25
Five years passed in a flash. Su Li grew from a skinny little boy less than 60 centimeters tall to a fair and tender girl 1.26 meters tall.
A round baby face, big almond eyes, curly eyelashes, a small and delicate nose, a cherry mouth, exquisite and cute!
Compared to when he first came, when he was like a baby who couldn't even take care of himself, even though he is now in the teething period and has a lisp when speaking, and is missing two front teeth, Su Li can accept it calmly.
After the family had breakfast that day, Liu Xiaomei sent Su Li out to play with his twin brother and sister, who were less than three years old.
Su Li looked expressionlessly at the brother and sister who were still wobbling but full of energy, shook his head, and said sparingly, "No, I have to go up the mountain."
She doesn't want to play with these two little brats every day.
Thinking about the past few years, she had some free time, but she also felt very depressed!
Before she was two years old, she was watched by her adoptive parents every day. Wherever she went, they were afraid that she would be snatched away by wild beasts in the mountains in the blink of an eye.
After she was two years old, she could move around the village on her own, but only within the village. Her activities were still under the watchful eyes of her adoptive parents. As long as she tried to run away, her frightened adoptive father would frantically search the whole village for her.
Once, she just secretly went to the old house of the Su family, and her father was so worried that he went crazy looking for her all over the village. Everyone in the village thought she was lost, and many people ran to the river to help salvage her, to see if she had fallen into the river and drowned.
Su Li was in a terrible mood at that time. Although he was touched by his parents' love, he was also very embarrassed!
Later, when she had younger brothers and sisters, they finally took away half of the couple's attention. After her repeated and strong requests, she finally had the right to move freely in the village. But the good days did not last for a few days, because the younger brothers and sisters who she thought were here to rescue her could walk!
Ever since the two little ones could walk, they have been staring at her even more closely than Su Jianshe and his wife. Even when she went to the toilet, the brother and sister would follow her closely.
This feeling is really...
Talking about the years when he was a child, Su Li shed a few bitter tears for himself!
It’s simply too difficult!
When Liu Xiaomei heard her say she wanted to go up the mountain, she thought she wanted to go to the foot of the mountain to play with the children in the village. She did not stop her, but she still reminded her worriedly: "Be careful, you are not allowed to go up the mountain!"
Their village was at the foot of the mountain. As long as the children could walk, they would go there in groups every day to pick wild vegetables, cut grass for pigs, and dig out bird nests...
The foot of the mountain is where most children in the village gather, and there is no danger. It's just that Su Jianshe is worried about the three children going out alone, and he watches Su Li like the apple of his eye, so he always stops the three children from going there to play.
Su Jianshe wanted to object, but when he thought about how his daughter had grown up and had to go to the fields with him and his wife to play every day if she was not at home taking care of her younger siblings, he felt a little reluctant. He could only pretend that he didn't hear and went to work, looking back every few steps!
Although Su Xiaodi and Su Xiaomei were still young, they could already understand what was said. When they knew that their sister was going up the mountain but was unwilling to take them with her, they immediately refused.
The two rushed over like little firecrackers. One of them hugged Su Li's thigh and started howling with his mouth wide open: "Ah, sister, I want to go too!"
"Woo woo~ I want to go too, I want to go too, sister, don't leave me!"
Su Li had a blank expression on his face, not moved at all by the two people's fake crying, "Stop pretending to cry, or I'll beat you!"
Su Li clenched his fists and looked at the two of them, as if if they cried again, his fists would really hit them in the next second.
Although the brother and sister were young, they were very good at reading Su Li's expression. When they saw her expressionless face, they knew that it was really not possible, and their crying stopped in a second.
Su Xiaomei raised her head, blinking her big eyes, the same as Su Li's, and took the opportunity to make a request: "Lingling is the best. I won't cry. Sister will come back later and bring Guoguo to us, okay?"
Little brother Su's eyes rolled around. If his sister ordered fruit, he could order something else. That way, he and his sister could have two things to eat, right?
Little brother Su praised himself for his cleverness in his heart, and said in a baby voice with his little mouth pouting, "Sister, little stone is also good. I want to eat roasted bird eggs."
"Okay, as long as you behave well, I'll bring you some delicious food!"
"Woo, sister, you have to come back early. Lingling will be waiting for you at home!"
"Me too, sister, you must remember to bring me bird eggs!"
Su Li carried the small bamboo basket that Su Jianshe had specially made for her, waved to the two little ones, and walked towards the foot of the mountain without looking back.
Su Li did not go to the foot of the mountain to play with the group of children cutting grass for pigs as Liu Xiaomei had expected. She avoided people and chose a path that few people usually took and went straight up the mountain.
After so many years in this world, if you think about it carefully, this is her first time to go into the mountains (not counting the time when her stepmother took her there by mistake), so she must have a good stroll in the mountains.
All the novels she had read, whether they were period novels or time-travel novels set in ancient times, as long as they were farming novels, would most likely involve the hero or heroine going up the mountain to dig ginseng, pick up pheasants, rabbits, or hunt wild boars.
Although she is not the heroine, she is still a tasker, and a tasker with a golden finger, so of course she has to follow the trend.
After all, the heroine is here, so how can there be no precious medicinal herbs like ginseng in the mountains?
Su Li was full of confidence and planned to dig some ginseng today to improve his life.
Although the Su family has lived a good life in the past few years, they can only barely get enough to eat, and there is still a long way to go before they can eat meat every meal.
When they first moved out, Su Jianshe and his wife were very happy to pick up pheasants and rabbits every now and then.
One day, Su Jianshe went to the county town and heard from somewhere that there was a man who had been very lucky since childhood. Whatever he wanted to do could come true, and even if he fell, he could pick up money. However, he ended up using up all his good luck in advance and died before he was eighteen years old.
After hearing this, Su Jianshe thought of Su Li. Not only did he not buy anything that day, he also secretly threw all the money he had earned on the black market into the homes of several people who were struggling to make ends meet.
After returning home and telling Liu Xiaomei about it, the couple hugged Su Li and cried for a long time. If the money from the previous sales had not been spent, they would have wanted to divide up all the money they had.
Later, even if Su Li wanted to improve his life, he used his spiritual sense to control pheasants and rabbits to kill them in front of Su Jianshe and his wife. Not only did the couple not pick them up, they ran away.
It was as if they were being chased by a ghost, as if if they ran slower, Su Li would really die!
Every time it made Su Li laugh and cry.
Fortunately, Su Jianshe did not give up going to the mountains to look for wild game to trade on the black market. Otherwise, the family would not be able to eat meat every now and then, and probably would not be able to eat meat a few times a year.
However, the conditions at home are limited to this, and we cannot have a better life. Otherwise, we would not have moved out five years ago and still live in the same rented house.
Su Li collected his thoughts and released his consciousness, then strolled around leisurely as if he was in his own back garden. Along the way, he not only picked wild fruits for Su Xiaomei, but also picked up several nests of bird eggs for Su Xiaodi.
As expected, where the heroine is, there are precious medicinal herbs. In less than two hours, Su Li dug up five hundred-year-old ginsengs and four hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
