Li Yu and his brother came out from the village chief's house. It was already dark. Li Qing was thinking about the village chief's attitude towards his sister and brother. When he got home, he asked Li Yu, "Sister, why do I feel that the village chief is more polite to us than before?" Yes, what do you think?"

"Well, maybe he thinks we're not that bad after all!"

Li Qing was thoughtful after hearing this. The two siblings got some food and went to wash up and rest.

Li Yu got up early in the morning and went to the woods to exercise, and found that Li Qing was already studying outside the house. Li Yu thought to himself: The child must have been deeply stimulated yesterday, but he knows that working hard is also a good sign.

Li Yu did not disturb Li Qing, and quietly went to the forest to exercise and retrieve the prey. When he returned home, he found that Li Qing had already cooked the rice.

Li Qing saw Li Yu carrying pheasants and hares, "Sister, when did you go out and why didn't I see you?"

"I saw you were reciting it by heart, so I didn't call you. Ah Qing, you can send one of the pheasants and hares to your husband later."

"Okay sister, I'm going to school." Li Qing put down the bowl and went to the balcony to pick up the pheasant, and left with the hare and the book basket.

After Li Yu cleaned up the kitchen, he went to the yard to stir the bean paste, then went to the backyard with the pig food, and fed the pigs before Xiao An hurried over.

As soon as Xiao An saw Li Yu, he asked, "Sister Li, I heard that you caught two bad guys sent by the Zhang family the night before yesterday?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Yeah! It's okay. Xiao An, is your mother okay?" Li Yu wanted Qian to help take care of the fields at home. He could go up the mountain to find some chestnuts and other crops while autumn was coming. Mountain goods.

"Well, she wants to find something to do."

"You go back and ask your mother if she is willing to come to my house to work."

After hearing this, Xiao An happily asked: "Sister Li, can my mother really come and help you?"

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Really, if you ask her, she can come today."

"Okay, wait until I clean the pig pen and cowshed before going."

After hearing this, Li Yu nodded and went back to the forest with a hoe and a bamboo pole on his back. He found a piece of hibiscus and a clump of gardenia. He dug them out and carried them back home. Starting from the vegetable patch on the roadside, he Plant hibiscus and gardenia at intervals.

When Qian heard that Xiao An said that Li Yu was willing to hire him to work, she was overjoyed and followed Xiao An to Li Yu's house. When she saw Li Yu planting flowers and trees, he picked up a hoe and started working.

Li Yu said to her: "Aunt Qian, if you come to help me work, you and Xiao An can eat at my house, and you will take care of the work and vegetable fields at home. I will give you and your son a salary of 600 yuan a month. You how do you feel?"

Mrs. Qian bowed gratefully to Li Yu and said, "Miss Xiaoyu, just do some housework. How can you ask for so much wages?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Aunt Qian, wages should be paid. Besides, Xiao An is getting older, so you have to give him money to get his wife!"

"Xiaoyu, thank you very much. Don't worry, we will do a good job."

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go dig some in the woods and bring them back."

Li Yu carried the bamboo pole on his back and headed into the forest. Qian carefully planted the remaining flowers and trees, pulled out the weeds in the vegetable field, and went to Li Yu's yard with a hoe. As soon as he entered the door I saw twenty or thirty sauce jars placed in the yard.

Qian walked towards the sauce vat and saw the bright red bean paste made by the sun in the sauce vat. He sighed, "Xiaoyu can make such a good chili sauce at such a young age. He is a good person and a talented person." My Xiao An is with the right person for what he is capable of."

Two days later, Mrs. Li came to Li Yu's house with a face full of joy and told Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, it's okay now. Zhang Defa moved Zhang Decai's things away, and the house and fields were sold to Chen Jingshui's family in the village. From now on, No one is asking for trouble anymore.”

Ms. Qian also clapped her hands and applauded, "This is really a good thing, Sister Li. They are too vicious, so we should move away."

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Qian and said, "Sister-in-law Qian, I see that your body and bones are much better. Now your little An can rest assured."

Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Yes! I'm much better. It's all because of Miss Xiaoyu taking care of us. Otherwise, life would have been difficult for us. Miss Xiaoyu is just like her parents, kind-hearted and righteous."

Mrs. Li looked at the honeysuckle, gardenias, roses and hibiscus piled on the ground, recalling the situation of the Li family when Li Yu's mother was still alive, "Yes! The Xiaoyu siblings are just like his father." "Mom, how kind her parents were to people back then! Xiaoyu and her mother also loved to plant flowers at that time." Mrs. Li picked up a hibiscus and handed it to Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, from now on, this wasteland in your house will be transformed into a flower garden." It has become the landlord’s garden.”

After hearing this, Li Yu also imagined that the courtyard wall full of flowers and the flower walls around the wasteland would be beautiful by then, and he laughed, "That's great! You can come to my house to see the flowers from now on."

Mrs. Li said happily: "I will come here every day, so don't bother your Aunt Li." Everyone laughed.

Li Yu searched for more than ten days in the forest and found many Dieffenbachia and soapberry saplings, as well as some other familiar and unknown saplings. Li Yu planted the soapberry tree at the end of the wasteland and surrounded the flower trees. I planted a circle around the wasteland and the courtyard wall before going into the forest again.

When Li Yu came back from bathing that night, he saw that the oil lamp in Li Qing's room was still on. Li Yu felt that Li Qing had studied a lot harder since the incident with the Zhang family, and often studied hard even at night.

Li Yu went to Li Qing's room, "Ah Qing, why haven't you rested yet?"

Li Qing didn't even raise his head, "Sister, I'll go to bed after watching it for a while."

"Ah Qing," Li Yu called again. After hearing this, Li Qing raised his head and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at him and said: "Ah Qing, I think studying and doing knowledge is the same as making pickles. You can't make a lot at once, but you can make them over time. I am very pleased that you study hard like this. , but you are still young, it is the time to grow your body and it cannot be too late."

After hearing this, Li Qing thought for a while, looked at Li Yu and said, "Sister, I understand. I'll go to bed and study tomorrow."

Li Yu nodded happily, "Okay, I'm going to have a rest too."

The days passed in an orderly manner, and August arrived in a blink of an eye. The villagers went to the hills near the village in groups. Everyone looked for chestnuts, walnuts and various wild fruits on the mountains.

Li Yu weaved a net bag with hemp rope at home, found a small tree, baked it and bent it, tied the net bag to the curved trunk to make a scooping net, carried a machete on his back, and faced the big tree to the west alone. Qingshan walked.

Zhou Jia was walking not far behind Li Yu with Ji Xiang and a medicine basket on his back.

Ji Xiang saw Li Yu walking in front and said, "Master, look that's Miss Li."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's strong figure, walking quickly on the mountain road, and then looked at himself who was out of breath as he walked, and smiled to himself, "Your young master can't walk as fast as other girls."

Ji Xiang looked back at Zhou Jia and said with relief: "Master, she is a strong woman. How can you compare with her?"

When the master and servant looked up again, they could no longer see Li Yu's figure.

Li Yu climbed up the mountain ridge, saw the wolfberry forest, and went down the mountain to the pool. Looking at the big fish swimming in the pool, he took out the net bag he had prepared in advance, held the wooden handle and stretched it into the pool. The first net He scooped up four big fish, each weighing five or six kilograms. Li Yu put the fish into his back basket, and then scooped up a few more nets without missing a beat every time. The largest one weighed more than ten kilograms and had silvery scales.

Li Yu knocked the fish to death and packed it into the space, and walked towards the camellia oleifera forest. When he arrived at the camellia oleifera forest, he saw that the camellia oleifera fruits were almost ripe, so Li Yu turned around and walked towards the creek.
