Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:
Mr. Li pondered for a moment, then instructed Wang Sufen: "You take your child here to break the corn first, and I'll go find Dongzi's father, and then borrow a wooden cart or something."
Wang Sufen looked around nervously, looking like she was about to cry: "Mother, what if someone sees it?"
"It won't be so coincidental." Mrs. Li/comforted her: "This place is flat, there are no wild vegetables, mushrooms or anything else. Those who often come to the mountains know that our family is reclaiming wasteland here. Now is not the harvest season, no Someone will come and waste time." Seeing that Wang Sufen was still worried, Mrs. Li gave her another idea: "If someone really comes, you can say that we used the one sent by your elder brother from the south in our family land. The medicine will ripen ahead of time after two months of spraying.”
Wang Sufen looked at Mrs. Li in shock: "There is such a magical thing?"
"Are you saying you're stupid?" Mrs. Li took out the cigarette holder and knocked on Wang Sufen: "Isn't this an excuse to fool people for what you think! It's alright, alright, just break the rice right here. , I have to call your man."
Mr. Li returned to the ground, planed some potatoes, put them in the basket, and finally covered them with a tattered clothes before walking down the mountain. Wang Sufen's eyes moved with Mrs. Li, seeing Li The old lady walked for about ten meters, and finally couldn't help but ask again: "What do you say when you go home?"
"It's just that your eldest brother sent it back from Fujian." Mrs. Li replied without turning her head.
Wang Sufen didn't dare to put Zhen Zhen on the ground again, she fed her back with milk and tied it back to her body, while breaking off the corn, she said to Zhen Zhen, "I said, my daughter, you can't be so scary in the future. What's wrong, what if people see it? It's okay to frighten them, but if the bad guys come and take you away, where do you ask your mother to find you?"
Zhen Zhen was lying on Wang Sufen's back with a depressed look on her face: How do I know that I have this ability, I have never picked more than two numbers in a lottery ticket in my last life, who would have thought that I would have won such a big prize inexplicably after crossing the road.
Wang Sufen broke off the corn one after another and threw it directly into the open space. Zhen Zhen looked around in boredom, and suddenly a bunch of wild blueberries came into view. Zhen Zhen silently calculated that she was almost seven months old and should be able to eat some fruit, so while Wang Sufen was not paying attention, she quietly hooked her hand towards the blueberry not far away.
The branches with a bunch of heavy blueberries suddenly stretched out and didn't stop growing until they reached Zhen Zhen. Zhen Zhen smiled in surprise, she quickly stretched out her little hand and gently grabbed a blueberry into her mouth, biting it hard with the two little deciduous teeth that had just popped out and nodding, the sweet and sour blueberry juice flowed into her. Throat, Zhen Zhen closed her eyes with satisfaction.
Swallowing the juice into her mouth, Zhen Zhen threw the peel aside and picked another one and put it in her mouth. After Wang Sufen broke off a corn, she took a few steps forward, and the blueberry-grown branch stretched another half a meter and stopped firmly beside Zhen Zhen.
After eating one after another, when Zhen Zhen ate the fourth one, Wang Sufen was panting while leaning on her waist, when she suddenly heard the sound of eating from the **** her back. Wang Sufen hurriedly looked back and saw that Zhen Zhen's face and hands were covered with purple juice, she immediately frightened Wang Sufen: "What did you eat?"
Zhen Zhen silently picked a blueberry from the back of Wang Sufen's head and handed it to her with an innocent face, Wang Sufen turned back quickly, and was frightened again when she saw the blueberry branch that was seven or eight meters long: " ...is this blueberry refined?"
Zhen Zhen showed a sweet smile, she put one arm around Wang Sufen's shoulder and tried to climb up twice, trying to pass the blueberry in her hand to Wang Sufen's mouth. Although she knew that her daughter had some incredible skills, Wang Sufen was still a little bit overwhelmed by the sudden emergence of such a long branch. She hurriedly stood on tiptoe and looked around, afraid that someone would see this unusual thing. .
There is a crisp chirping of birds in the forest, and nothing is out of the ordinary except for the spooky blueberry branch. Wang Sufen turned her head and wanted to say a few words about Zhen Zhen, one might as well have a blueberry stuffed into her mouth by Zhen Zhen, the mouth full of sweet and sour taste, Wang Sufen realized that her mouth had been dry for a long time.
When her stomach was full, she swallowed it, Wang Sufen unfastened her straps, took Zhen Zhen into her arms, picked a blueberry and put it in Zhen Zhen's hand, and ate several of them herself.
Zhen Zhen ate blueberries for the first time in her life. Although it was sweet and sour, she also knew that her body was small and she was afraid that she would eat too much and put the blueberries in Wang Sufen's mouth.
Wang Sufen ate all the blueberries on this branch, Zhen Zhen blinked her eyes, and the branch shrank back, if she hadn't looked at the baldness above and her mouth was full of the fragrance of blueberries, Wang Sufen would have Just think of yourself as a dream.

Mr. Li walked very fast with her small feet. As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Mingbei coming from another direction with a basket on her back. Mrs. Li hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What about yourself? What about your sister-in-law and your third brother?"
Ming Bei pointed in the direction he came from and said, "There are a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables growing there. I will take this basket of vegetables home, and then fill the pot with water and take two vegetable dumplings." Said Raise your legs and leave in a hurry.
Mrs. Li quickly grabbed his arm: "What are you doing running so fast, brat, I still have something to tell you."
"What's the matter, milk, I'm hungry!" Mingbei rubbed his stomach and his face was full of vegetables: "You gave me a vegetable dumpling in the morning, which was full of wild vegetables and not much sweet potato noodles, so I can't resist hunger. ."
Mr. Li heard her grandson said she was hungry and couldn't help but think of the scene in her own field on the mountain, and she couldn't help but be amused: "Go and do something for the milk, and when you get home, the milk will cook you some meat."
"Really? What are you wearing?" Ming Bei's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly passed behind Mrs. Li to see what was under the ragged clothes in her basket.
Old Mrs. Li hurriedly knocked off his hand, with an undisguised joy on her face: "Hurry up and I'll do some errands, and you will have to eat."
"Okay, milk, what are you talking about?" Don't talk about meat for half a year, and I haven't even eaten enough. Mingbei feels that as long as he can eat a bite of meat, don't talk about things and let him run errands. He is willing to try it.
Mr. Li took out the cigarette bag and lit it for a couple of puffs. She sat on the ground and rubbed her swollen feet and instructed her grandson: "You go and put the basket at home first, then go to the grain store to find your father, and ask him to slack off. Ten days off, hurry home and I have something to tell him."
"What's the matter? Do you have to take ten days off?" Mingbei was a little confused.
"You don't have to worry about anything, what are the big kids doing? You can just talk to your father like that." Mrs. Li gave Ming Bei a look impatiently: "By the way, you If the third uncle asks, you can tell him to keep the food there, and he doesn't need to care about the others."
Nai is the head of the family. Seeing that Mrs. Li was reluctant to say more, Mingbei didn't dare to ask too much. Seeing that Mrs. Li hadn't left yet, he couldn't help urging: "I'll go first. Go home and put the basket, you go home early to cook the meat."
"What's the hurry, I can't do without your meat." Mrs. Li got enough rest and stood up, leaning on a sturdy branch to move home step by step.
Mingbei was like a wolf dog chasing him. He ran back home as fast as he could, opened the door and threw the basket into the yard. He didn't even bother to lock the door.
I didn't have any work to do today, and none of the wild vegetable dumplings that Li Muwu and Li Musen brought with them were willing to eat them, so they were going to bring them back at night. One person poured a belly of cold water and found a shady place to wait.
Ming Bei ran over quickly all the way, grabbed Li Muwu's hand and said out of breath: "Dad, hurry home, my mother is looking for you."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mingbei in such a hurry, Li Muwu and Li Musen's faces changed, and they quickly stood up and surrounded Mingbei: "Is there something wrong with your milk?"
"No, no!" Mingbei waved his hands again and again: "My milk legs and feet are nimble, she just came down from the mountain." Li Mingbei took a few breaths, and finally added his breath, "Dad. , my grandmother told you to take ten days off."
"Why are you asking for ten days off?" Li Muwu asked his son in confusion.
"How do I know?" Li Mingbei couldn't help rolling his eyes: "How can I ask what my mother doesn't tell me."
No matter what the old lady ordered, you have to do everything. Li Muwu nodded and went to the office. Li Musen also followed. Mingbei remembered Mrs. Li's order and quickly grabbed Li Musen: "Uncle, my mother I told you to go to work honestly, and if we put food in our house, I would count on you to buy it." Li Musen sat back on the steps and continued to sigh.
Now that the grain store is not busy and does not pay wages, Li Muwu easily took ten days off. The two trotted all the way home. When they were about to reach the door of the house, they saw the smoke rising from their chimney. Immediately happy: "I designated my milk to be stewing meat."
Entering the house, sure enough, a pot of stewed rabbit meat with potatoes was fragrant, and Mingbei's saliva came out. He was not afraid of being hot, he took out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat from the pot and nibbled it.
Mrs. Li quickly put the spatula aside, dragged Li Muwu to the east room, and whispered to him, "I'm going to tell you something, don't be afraid and don't make a sound."
"What's the matter? God's nagging?" Li Muwu couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Li tugged off his sleeve and motioned him to lower his voice. Only then did she tell Li Muwu everything that happened on the mountain.
Li Muwu's head is the toughest in the Li family. After Mrs. Li spoke for a long time, he didn't respond. Mrs. Li couldn't help but tug at him and asked eagerly: "Do you understand what I said? Hurry up. Go to Lao Wang's house and borrow his family's wooden carriage, and let's bring the grain back with the rags first, it's not a problem to stay on the mountain."
Li Muwu looked at Mrs. Li dumbfounded, and suddenly burst into tears for a while: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you still starving your brain?"
The sudden howl frightened Ming Bei, who almost went into the stove pit, and also made Mrs. Li's seven orifices smoke. She pulled down the cigarette bag attached to her waist and slapped Li Muwu over her face: "I Look at you, you are starving! Stop talking nonsense to my mother, go out and borrow a car for me, and shut your mouth tightly when you go out, if you dare to say nonsense, I will discount your dog legs." Li Muwu immediately put Tears were held back, and he rushed out in three and two steps.
Mrs. Li went to the kitchen and looked at Mingbei's oily face eating the rabbit meat with the pancakes. She was both disgusted and sad: "Don't squat and eat, wait for me to serve it." He took out a few small pots, one for Li Musen's family, one for Mingdong and Mingxi, one for Mingnan and Osmanthus, and the last one was prepared for Wang Sufen to eat when he went up the mountain.
Old Mrs. Li was allotted, then she put the rest out, put the cakes just pasted in a pot and placed it on the table, touched Mingbei's head, and smiled proudly: "Today Open your belly to eat."
Li Mingbei choked on the rice noodles and pancakes for a while, and after taking two sips of water, he recovered. He glanced at Mrs. Li suspiciously, what was wrong with his thoughts: "Honey, you don't think life is going to be difficult. Going down, so I got some poison/drug mixed with rabbit meat to poison us, right?"
Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she almost didn't catch her breath, she picked up the cigarette bag and slapped Ming Bei fiercely: "I know nonsense all day long, if I poison you, I will waste rabbit meat and break you apart. I can pour it into your mouth."
Li Mingbei was beaten and screamed, and while hiding, he couldn't help but defend himself: "That's what the second brother told the story last time."
Old Mrs. Li put away the cigarette bag and couldn't help but say: "Your second brother likes to talk nonsense to fool the second fool, but if there is a second fool, he believes these mindless things."
Li Mingbei was choked again, but looking at the cigarette bag and pot on the table, Mrs. Li didn't dare to owe any more. Mrs. Li glanced at him and said in disgust, "After you're full, hurry up to the mountain and call Guihua and Mingnan back for dinner. You don't have to go out in the afternoon. I still have work to do for you."
Li Muwu borrowed the carriage to come back. Just as he wanted to eat rabbit meat safely, Mrs. Li sent her away with two pancakes: "If you have something to eat at night, hurry up and take the cart out with me."
In Beicha, many people use such carts to pull wood, so it is not unusual. Li Muwu drove the cart to the bottom of the mountain, and Mrs. Li got out of the car and handed the rice, the pole and the big basket to Li Muwu: "You go up to deliver the meal and take the food down, remember to cover it with a felt, if When you meet someone, say it's a wild fruit, don't let anyone look at it."
Li Muwu looked worriedly at Mrs. Li. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Li immediately raised her cigarette bag, Li Muwu waved his hands again and again: "Don't fight, don't fight, I'll go up right away."
Familiar people traveled through the forest, and after walking for fifteen or sixteen minutes, Li Muwu finally came to his own farmland. shocked.
Wang Sufen was digging potatoes from the ground when she suddenly heard a plop, which made her look back quickly...
"Dongzi, her father, why are you kneeling there?"
"... weak legs..."
