Not long after Li Yu went up the mountain, he hunted two wild goats and three roe deer. Li Yu put the prey into the space and hunted some pheasants, hares, turtle doves along the way, and also shot a badger.

Li Yu walked towards the ravine of the mountain col. When he got to the foot of the mountain col, he found that the water in the ravine was shallower, the stones in the ravine were exposed, and there were small fish and shrimps jumping on the exposed stones.

Li Yu felt worried in his heart and hurriedly walked towards the pool downstream.

When they arrived at the pool, Li Yu saw that the water in the pool was also shallow. After seeing it, Li Yu became more convinced that a drought was very likely, and Li Yu's mood became dull for a while.

Li Yu looked at the pool unhappily and saw several big fish emerging from the water. Li Yu took out the net bag from the space, fished out a few fish, knocked them to death and put them into the space. He had no intention of hunting anymore and collected some fish along the way. I picked up some dandelions, Houttuynia cordata, motherwort and mugwort and carried them back to the ditch in front of the house. I washed the herbs in the ditch before carrying them home.

Li Mei saw Li Yu coming back with a load of herbs on his back and said with a smile: "Yu'er, didn't you say you wouldn't go home until the afternoon? It's just past noon!"

Li Yu glanced at Li Mei, whose face was full of joy, swallowed the words on his lips, and said with a forced smile: "After I went up the mountain, I saw two hunters also going up the mountain, so I collected some herbs and carried them back. "

"Yes! That's what I said! Today is a good day, you should stay at home and stay well," Li Mei looked at Li Yu lovingly, "You must be tired! Auntie will make you something to eat."

Li Yu looked around and didn't see the Zhao Di sisters, so he asked strangely: "Where are the two cousins?"

Li Mei pointed in the direction of Butcher He's house and said, "Xiaoyu from Butcher He's house came to call the two of them, saying that she had some new tricks for Zhao Di."

Li Yu always felt a slight pain in his stomach after eating. It felt like the feeling when his aunt was coming in his previous life.

Li Yu quietly cut some fine cotton cloth and oilcloth and overlapped them to make a dozen menstrual belts. He also used cotton wool to make a stack of sanitary napkins in the fine cotton cloth. He boiled water and took a bath. As expected, by dark When his aunt came, Li Yu worked overnight and made two more stacks of sanitary napkins to put away before he felt at ease.

Early the next morning, Li Yu cut all the rapeseed moss in the field and put it into the space. He went to the town drugstore to buy various pills and herbs and stored them. Then he went to the seed shop to buy some rapeseed, cabbage, and radish seeds. Scatter it on the ground and prepare to collect some vegetable leaves for storage.

The official matchmaker hired by the Zhou family made several trips to finalize their marriage. When the Zhou family brought dozens of betrothal gifts to the Li family, Li Mei and Li Qing went to the village carrying wedding cakes. The news spread, and the villagers in the east and west villages were talking about it. Li Yu, the eldest girl of the Li family whose engagement was broken off by the Zhang family, was engaged to Zhou Xiucai, the young master of the Zhou family in Dongshan Village.

Two days later, the news of the engagement between Li Yu and the young master of the Zhou family reached the ears of Zhang Defa in Qingshan City. Zhang Defa was so angry that he dropped the bowl. The young master of the Zhou family also hooked up."

After Zhang Guixiang heard about it, he didn't want to believe anything he said. He was so angry that he cut up all the embroidery cloth in the room and threw it on the floor.

Chen Zhaodi looked at the embroidered cloth, picked it up distressedly, looked at Zhang Guixiang and scolded: "You are such a big girl, and you lost your temper and cut the embroidered cloth into pieces. My mother got this for you from your sister-in-law." .”

Zhang Guixiang was so fragrant that he screamed, "I don't care, mother. I'm almost mad. Why doesn't that bitch Li Yu die?"

Chen Zhaodi looked at Zhang Guixiang and thought that in order to marry Zhu Qiaoyu, she drove away the Li Yu siblings and spent all the money the family had saved. The family also owed a lot of foreign debts and now had to support Zhang Decai's family. son.

The more she thought about it, the angrier Chen Zhaodi became. She slapped Zhang Guixiang on the face, pointed at Zhang Guixiang and cursed: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't pushed her into the tub, she wouldn't have given up on your brother." , I asked your father to pay back the money, but you are still here complaining, I think you are the one who is most to blame."

Zhang Guixiang covered her face and looked at the livid Chen Zhaodi who did not dare to shout anymore. She trembled her lips and shouted sadly, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

Chen Zhaodi looked at Zhang Guixiang and then at her own hands. She couldn't believe that she would hit her baby daughter. Chen Zhaodi hugged the crying Zhang Guixiang, and the mother and daughter cried together.

The only person in the Zhang family who was happiest about Li Yu's engagement was Zhang Guisheng's daughter-in-law Zhu Qiaoyu. When she heard that Li Yu was engaged, Zhu Qiaoyu happily pulled her nanny Jiang and said, "Nanny, that girl from the Li family is finally engaged. Now my husband should be worried." Come on!"

Jiang looked at Zhu Qiaoyu and sighed, "Miss, you really don't need to take the girl from the Li family seriously. The Zhang family regretted their marriage and married you, and the Zhang and Li families have already forged a grudge, not to mention the previous one was involved. What’s the grudge between our elders!”

Zhu Qiaoyu retorted unhappily: "Nanny, what my husband said was all fabricated by the Li family. It was Orion Li who was greedy for money and was injured by a bear and lost his life."

Ms. Jiang was also angry that Zhu Qiaoyu was obsessed with being manipulated by Zhang Guisheng, "Then my uncle said that he and the girl from the Li family have broken off their engagement and will never have anything to do with each other again. Why don't you believe it?"

"I, I..." Zhu Qiaoyu looked at Jiang and was speechless.

Jiang looked at Zhu Qiaoyu, sighed secretly in her heart, and advised earnestly: "Miss, you can't do this anymore. You are the wife of the Zhang family who is being married by a bright matchmaker. You think about it every day, and there will be such a long time in the future." , how are you doing?" Zhu Qiaoyu lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Yu didn't know that her engagement could make the Zhang family mad. If he knew, he would probably laugh three times.

Li Yu spent most of the night, quietly taking out the pheasants, wild ducks, rabbits, turtle doves, fish, and roe deer in the space, cleaning them, smearing them with salt, and putting them into the space. He also put the wild sheep and wild boar meat, Take out all the wild deer and deer, apply them with salt and aniseed, steam them, dry them and store them in the space.

Zhou Jia bought a cow and two big green mule carts in the city, and went to find someone to make a few large wooden barrels and take them home, fill them with water and put them in the cellar.

Li Yu prepared the meat and vegetables, and began to paint the burlap with tung oil. According to the tents in his memory, he made more than a dozen tents with double layers of tung oil cloth, and a layer of fine cotton cloth and a layer of tung oil cloth. , and made a dozen sets of raincoats according to the approximate size.

February flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Qingming Festival in March. In previous years, there should be continuous spring rain in these two months, but this year from the twelfth lunar month to now, not even a drop of rain has fallen.

When Li Mei's family and Li Yu's siblings visited the grave, they saw that the water in the ravine had dried up. The villagers they met when they returned home were all talking about it, and Li Mei also felt that there might be a drought.

Along the way, Li Mei saw that the villagers were talking about whether there was going to be a drought. Everyone looked at the sky and worried, so Li Mei and his wife thought of storing food.

After returning home, Li Mei took out the silver and said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, please talk to Aunt Zhou and ask him to help buy some food in the city. My aunt's house only has about ten shi of food left."

Li Yu took Li Mei back to the house, "Aunt, don't worry, you and your uncle! I have stored the food a long time ago and put it in a secret place. Remember not to make it public. There are also vegetables in the field. While there is still water, let's wait for them to grow stronger, pull them all out, dry them in the sun, blanch them in water, make them into dried vegetables and store them."

Li Yu smiled strangely: "When did you kid start saving? We don't know at all. A few days ago, I was still thinking, those vegetable moss are about to bloom, why did you cut them? It turns out that you were there at that time I started to prepare, my aunt is really useless, she has lived on her own for so many years, she is not as good as a junior like you."

Li Yu smiled and said: "It's not the same if I save you! Why should you worry again?"

Li Mei saw Li Yu being moved and said, "Yu'er, my aunt and my family thank you."
