Chapter 75
Walking on the path up the mountain, the forest seems to have just woken up.
Various sounds of birds chirping and wind blowing leaves.
The sun rises, and the warm yellow sunlight shines on the road through the gaps in the leaves.
Zhao Changan stepped on the fallen leaves with one foot and one foot.
"So many fallen leaves!"
The slightly older Zhao Yigui and Zhao Changan were led away by Zhao Changfu.
The younger ones, Zhao Nanzhou and Zhao Yicha, were carried by Zhao Lao and Zhao Lao Er.
The path was not easy to walk, and no one had cleaned the fallen leaves. They fell all over the ground and piled up in a thick layer.
When you step on it, it sinks into the fallen leaves, making a crunching sound.
A ray of sunlight shined on Zhao Yicha's face through the gap in the forest.
Zhao Yicha squinted his eyes, covered his forehead with his hand and looked up.
"Dad, it's dawn!"
Boss Zhao also looked up. The sky was divided into pieces by the forest. Bundles of light fell from the gaps, and the world suddenly became bright.
Boss Zhao pushed the girl on his back up a little so that she could lie down more comfortably.
"Yes, it's dawn."
The graves of the four old people are very close to each other, not far from the house on the mountain.
It is a rare open space in the mountains and forests.
Zhao Changfu led his two younger brothers and walked quickly, with the three of them laughing and joking at the front.
Turning a corner, the view suddenly broadened to a rare flat land without trees.
"reached!"
Although there are no trees in this area, many fallen leaves have been blown here by the wind.
Zhao Changfu took the lead in sweeping the fallen leaves off the nearest grave.
Zhao Changan and Zhao Yigui follow each other.
Zhao Laoer put down his backpack and smiled happily as he watched the three children working.
"A few of the children still remember the road and know how to clean up fallen leaves."
After several years of experience, both Li Xiuxiu and Li Yuebai took up the broom.
Li Xiuxiu:
"My third brother and sister and I will sweep away the fallen leaves here first, and you prepare other things."
They come to worship several times every year, and the division of labor in the Zhao family is already very clear.
The place was quickly cleared, and everyone lit incense and candles, toasted with wine, and talked.
The sun had already risen in the sky. After the incense candles were burned out, Mrs. Zhao began to pack her things.
"Let's go, go back."
Before leaving, Mr. Zhao checked the incense candles on the tomb one by one to see if there were any sparks.
Fallen leaves are dry and can ignite with just a little spark, so special attention is needed.
When we got home from the mountain, the village was already very lively.
It was cold in the morning, so the whole family wore thick clothes when going out. Now that the sun is getting strong, some of them can no longer wear their clothes.
When we got home, everyone changed into thinner clothes.
Zhao Laosan was already so hot that he was sweating all over. After changing his clothes, he drank a few bowls of cold water to cool down.
Zhao Laoer wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Third brother, give me a bowl."
Zhao Laosan gave away the cold water in his hand, "This is the last bowl."
Mrs. Zhao sat down and rested for a while.
"Boss, go and cut some wild boar meat. Cut less of it, put it in a backpack, and put more other things in it. It will make more sense."
"Second child, you can go to the village chief's house to borrow a bullock cart later, and you and third child will go to the county to sell it later."
When he heard that he was going to the county, Mr. Zhao went to get the letter he had written.
"Third brother, take the letter and deliver it to the county magistrate's house."
Zhao Laosan took the letter and put it safely in his arms.
"Will you bring some meat to Brother Jingzhi?"
Mrs. Zhao patted her head lightly and said, "Why did you forget this incident?"
"Boss, I'm cutting some meat, putting it in a basket, and sending it to the county magistrate's house."
Zhao Laoer quickly borrowed the bullock cart and said, "Third brother, let's go."
Zhao Laosan carries on his back
Carrying a basket, take the basket and go out.
The oxcart came and went quickly, and Mrs. Zhao and her daughters-in-law were embroidering new clothes for the New Year.
Mr. Zhao guided the children in reading and practicing calligraphy.
Boss Zhao held the book and read it quietly.
Outside the shed there was a lively sound of people and dogs barking, but inside the shed it was quiet and peaceful, even the voices were very low.
The ordinary and routine morning in the Zhao family passed quickly.
The sun is about to reach its center, and every household is preparing to cook.
Li Xiuxiu put down her clothes and moved her arms.
"They should be back soon, I'm ready to cook."
Zhao Miaomiao just finished practicing calligraphy and quickly packed away the paper and brush.
"Second sister-in-law, let me help you."
Mrs. Zhao had not finished embroidering a flower when she turned around and saw Lu Ming and Chang Rui lying together, sleeping peacefully.
"Lu Yatou didn't like to sleep before, so why has she been sleeping lately?"
"It's almost as long as Chang Rui has slept."
Li Yuebai is also a little worried. The girl has been too sleepy recently.
But Lu Ming was in good spirits when he was awake, he was eating more milk, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.
"For several days, Chang Rui slept with Lu Ming, but he drank milk when he woke up and didn't make any fuss when he was awake."
Lu Ming still didn't know about the worries of his mother and grandma, who were picking vegetables in the space.
In less than ten days, all the vegetables planted are ready to be picked.
Tomatoes hang all over the branches, big and red, and each one is very plump.
Lu Ming picked a tomato at random and washed it in the spiritual spring water.
Every bite you take is full of sweet and sour juice, which is refreshing and thirst-quenching.
"So sweet!"
The tomato in his hand was bigger than one of Lu Ming's hands and needed to be held in his hands to eat.
Lu Ming sat by the spiritual spring water and finished a tomato with enjoyment.
"I wonder if there are any tomatoes outside? I really want to give them to my family.
People have a taste. "
Not knowing the dynasty he lives in is Lu Ming's biggest problem now. Tomatoes were only introduced to the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty.
If you rashly take out something that no one else has seen before, you will be suspected.
The green vegetable fields look very comfortable.
Lu Ming washed his hands and looked at the grown vegetables one by one.
"They look good, they are all big!"
Lu Ming happily stroked a cabbage.
"It looks delicious."
"It's a pity that there are no kitchen utensils here, so I can't cook."
Lu Ming sighed regretfully, and he didn't know how long these vegetables would last or whether they would spoil if left in the ground.
On the top floor of the small tree house, Miao Miao stretched out comfortably, saw Lu Ming from the platform, jumped off the wooden house, and slowly walked towards Lu Ming.
"Meow meow~"
"You woke up!"
Meow Meow was still sleeping when Lu Ming came in. Lu Ming did not disturb it and went to the vegetable field first.
Meow Meow circled around Lu Ming's feet a few times and rubbed against Lu Ming's legs.
Lu Ming sat down and held Miaomiao in his arms.
"Meow meow, do you want me to do another spin?"
"Maybe we can turn into a small kitchen."
Meow meow nestled in Lu Ming's arms, "Meow meow~"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You support me, right?"
Lu Ming was in high spirits and was about to summon the small turntable when he suddenly noticed something moving outside.
Lu Ming, who was in the space, could vaguely feel the movement outside, and there were bustling sounds in his mind.
"what happened?"
Lu Ming quickly put down Miaomiao and left the space.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wu Yang's smiling face was in front of him.
"Sister Lu Ming~"
Lu Ming was startled, Wu Yang came very close, and from Lu Ming's perspective, his face was enlarged.
"Luming?"
Wuyang stepped back a little and waved his hand in front of Lu Ming's eyes.
wave.
"Have you not woken up yet?"
"A bit stupid."
Zhao Yicha put his hands beside him and said fiercely, "Brother Yang, don't say Lu Ming is stupid."
"Lu Ming is the cutest and smartest little girl!"
Wu Yang apologized neatly, "I'm sorry, sister Lu Ming, I shouldn't have called you stupid."
Zhao Yicha nodded with satisfaction, hum, I won't let anyone speak ill of my sister in front of me.
Wu Yang apologized and kept Zhao Yicha's little head in silence.
"Sister Lu Ming is the cutest and smartest little girl, what about sister Cha'er?"
Zhao Yicha said proudly, "Of course I am also the cutest and smartest little girl."
"It's not like we have to be divided into two. We sisters are both the cutest and smartest."
Wu Yang was amused and laughed, agreeing with Zhao Yicha's point of view.
"Yes, you are all the cutest and smartest."
Why is Brother Yang here? Lu Ming looked around and saw that Mr. Chen was also at home.
Chen Jingzhi stopped coming in and brought a dozen people with him.
He is leading someone to talk to Mr. Zhao.
