Lin Zhaodi stood there looking around.
She kept thinking about what Wang Dafeng had said to her. If she didn't get the things when she left Li's house, she would definitely be scolded when she returned home.
Seeing her standing there awkwardly, pinching the hem of her clothes, Lin Yan said, "Zhao Di, you should go back first."
"Dad, I'll go back with you."
"Go home and help your grandma and mother with more work."
Lin Zhaodi still didn't move, just stood there.
Li Mingqing quickly came out of the house with a medicine box. Wangcai followed him out of the house and lay down in the nest made by Sun Jiaxue.
Wangcai's treatment is better than that of other children.
"You don't have a headache these past two days, do you?"
"It hurt a little on the first day, but it's gone since this morning."
Li Mingqing removed the bandage and saw the scabbed wound.
If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, it wouldn't have healed so quickly. It will be completely healed once the scabs disappear.
I disinfected it and changed the bandage.
"You can just open it at home after two days, and you don't need to change the medicine again."
"Okay, thank you."
After saying that, Lin Yan took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to him.
"I won't need that much this time. Fifty cents will be enough."
When Sun Jiaxue came out of the house, Li Mingqing had already bandaged Lin Yan.
This was the first time she saw Lin Zhaodi so close.
I haven't seen it many times before. I just came across it on the road and didn't look at it carefully.
She looks exactly like Lin Yan, they are indeed father and daughter.
Then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Li Mingqing sent Lin Yan and Lin Zhaodi to the door and went home.
He looked at Lin Zhaodi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and did not ask any questions.
Just say what you want to say. He doesn't have the patience to meddle in other people's business.
Looking at the closed door, Lin Zhaodi left in a daze with Lin Yan.
Lin Yan said, "I really don't know why your mother asked you to come with me. It's useless. Why did your mother ask you to come?"
"Dad, Mom said the Li family likes children and will give it to me."
He was furious when he heard this.
Wang Dafeng often does stupid things. Could it be that the Lin family can't afford to raise a child?
Let the villagers know that they must not laugh at the Lin family.
He was lucky that Lin Zhaodi was timid and didn't ask Li Mingqing for food, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
Lin Yan went back angrily and scolded Wang Dafeng.
After finding out, Mrs. Lin scolded her for another half hour.
Wang Dafeng did her housework obediently for the next two days, fearing that she would anger Lin Yan and get beaten.
——
The Li family’s new house.
Li Mingqing went to the kitchen and said, "Wife, Wangcai brought back a pheasant. Boil some water so I can pluck the feathers."
"It just so happens that my mother said she wanted to make a feather duster yesterday."
"A feather duster?"
"Yes, it's convenient for sweeping the dust in the house."
Li Mingqing felt that using a feather duster to sweep the dust in the old house was useless.
The door of the old house is always open, and the floor inside the room is made of dirt, so even a few steps will raise a lot of dust.
It can never be swept clean.
But the weather is getting cold, and every household has nothing to do, so it is understandable that they make feather dusters.
Sun Jiaxue quickly boiled two pots of hot water.
Pour hot water on the pheasant and soak it for two minutes to start removing the feathers.
Put all the chicken feathers on a sack to dry in the sun tomorrow.
The pheasant was prepared in half an hour.
However, there is no time to eat the pheasant in the evening. It takes at least an hour to cook the pheasant.
Sun Jiaxue brought out the remaining two bowls of rice.
She originally wanted to heat it up in the pot, but she heard Li Mingqing say, "Let's make fried rice with eggs. There's fire under the pot."
I added two eggs and a sausage, and the aroma of fried rice filled the kitchen.
Simmer the prepared pheasant on the stovetop until ready to eat.
While eating.
"I've never really looked at Zhaodi before. She looks so much like her father."
"Indeed, they do. Lin Jinbao and Wang Dafeng also look very similar."
Sun Jiaxue looked at her bulging belly and said, "I hope the child will look like you."
"Maybe the child will grow up to be sensible, learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and become like both you and me."
She smiled and said, "That would be great."
"We both look like this, the child will definitely be pretty and smart."
The two talked about their children, feeling very happy.
Li Mingqing had never had such a feeling before. Being a father for the first time felt novel and happy.
Early the next morning, Old Man Wu and Xiaoya Wu came over carrying a load of firewood.
"Master, why are you sending firewood again?"
"There's been a lot of tree cutting on the mountain these past few days, and there's a lot of broken branches. You don't have to go around collecting firewood, you can just take them directly. Since you're busy at work and don't have time to go, I pushed the cart up the mountain and got a full cart in one go."
Hearing this, I'm afraid we'll have to get up at four or five o'clock and go to the mountain.
He was not the only one who got up so early in the village. Most people got up so early to collect firewood in the mountains.
The firewood pile for winter use, once you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.
We had to go up the mountain to cut down a lot of branches to make electric poles.
It would be a waste if you don’t pick up something that is already there.
It’s just that the branches freshly cut from the tree are a little heavier, but with the cart pushing it, it’s not that heavy.
Old Man Wu put the branch at the door and left with Wu Xiaoya.
Li Mingqing accepted it.
He thought of bringing some food when he came back in the afternoon.
It's not a big deal to collect firewood that people have worked so hard to collect all day long.
The old couple of the Wu family just wanted to use the firewood for medical expenses. After all, it was all thanks to Li Mingqing that old man Wu was able to escape death.
Just as Li Mingqing was about to go back to the house, he saw Old Man Li and Old Lady Li coming back pushing a cart full of firewood.
"Dad, Mom, are we going up the mountain?"
"Yeah, I saw so many broken branches on the mountain yesterday, but there weren't so many when I went there this morning. Luckily I went there today, otherwise there wouldn't even be any leaves left if I went there tomorrow."
Li Mingqing looked at the pile of firewood in the yard of the old house and asked, "We don't lack firewood at home."
"These aren't good firewood. I'm going to renovate the fence around the yard. The fence made of branches before broke easily under the touch of wind and rain."
Old Man Li picked up a slightly thicker branch and said, "Look, it's thin, straight and long. It doesn't need any trimming."
"Dad, Mom, come home for dinner."
"No, I haven't finished the pancakes from last night, so they're perfect for breakfast."
"Jiaxue and I can't finish the pheasant stew at home, so we came out to invite you to come and eat."
