A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 4 Staying Overnight
When I arrived at Li Quanfu's house, Li Quanfu had just returned from the mountains. He was a hunting expert in Qinghe Village. He was tall and rarely came back empty-handed after going up the mountain. There were several other hunters in the village, but none of them were as skilled as him.
Li Quanfu's son, Li Dazhuang, is practicing archery. He is still a teenager with a handsome appearance. If you look closely, he looks a bit like Li Quanfu.
There were bamboo arrows scattered on the ground below the target, only a few on the target, and none in the center of the target.
Li Quanfu suddenly got angry and slapped Li Dazhuang on the head.
"You little rascal, if you don't practice well, how can you go up the mountain to hunt like this?" Li Quanfu looked very disappointed.
"Dad, I didn't go out all day. I just stayed at home and concentrated on archery." Li Dazhuang felt aggrieved. He also wanted to be like his dad, but he just couldn't learn it.
"Uncle Quanfu, don't blame Brother Dazhuang. I haven't seen him go out to play in the past few days. Brother Dazhuang is studying very hard." Li Xiaoxiao spoke well of Li Dazhuang. They are one year apart in age. Although she is a girl, her personality is different from other girls. She often plays with boys and is a very good friend of Li Dazhuang.
Li Quanfu actually didn't use much force, he just patted him gently. He was the only child in his family, and Li Dazhuang was also the only child. Aunt Zhang was injured when she gave birth to Dazhuang, and she couldn't have any more children since then, so she spoiled Li Dazhuang a little.
When he was young, Mr. Li worked as a teacher. His family was much better off than most people. He considered himself a scholar and looked down on concubines, so he did not let Li Quanfu take one. Li Quanfu was also a man with a conscience. Even though he only had one son, he treated Aunt Zhang very well.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore. Xiaoxiao, what's the matter?" The busy farming season was about to begin, and there was a lot of work to do in the fields. Li Xiaoxiao's family had a lot of fields, and she should have been working in the fields at this time, but she came to his house instead.
"Uncle Quanfu, I have something to ask you." Li Xiaoxiao told him what happened today, and added at the end, "My grandma asked us to move out today. It's getting late and we can't put up the straw hut. I want to stay at your house tonight."
Li Quanfu had just returned from the mountain and didn't know about Li Xiaoxiao's family division. He was shocked when he heard about it. The Li family just separated Li Dahai's family like that. Are they still his biological parents?
"You can stay as long as you want. Why be so formal with me?" After being shocked, Li Quanfu readily agreed. After thinking for a while, he told Li Dazhuang to go to the field to call Dazhuang's mother and kill the pheasant they hunted today as a dinner dish.
He asked Li Xiaoxiao some details about the division of the family, and Li Xiaoxiao answered them one by one. Li Quanfu nodded in understanding and asked with concern: "What are your plans for the future?"
"My father will continue to weave bamboo baskets. I want to learn archery from you and go hunting in the mountains. Do you think I can learn it?"
Li Quanfu looked Li Xiaoxiao up and down. He knew that Li Xiaoxiao was 16 years old, but she looked only or years old, thin and small. He was surprised at her courage. Hunting is very dangerous, and hunters are generally men, and there are very few women hunting.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved. Given her family's financial situation and without any land, she had no choice but to find some other way to survive. He couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Li Xiaoxiao.
He said earnestly: "Hunting is very dangerous. There are snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere. Wild boars, tigers, wolves and leopards are not common but they may appear. Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. Compared to these unknown dangers, I'm more afraid of my family starving to death. I don't have any other skills, so I want to try." Li Xiaoxiao said in a firm tone. She had practiced archery hard before and almost never missed a shot. She was confident in her archery skills. Moreover, she was a military doctor and often followed the troops to special training in the wild. She had a lot of experience in wild survival skills. For a while, she was also obsessed with Taekwondo and did quite well in it.
This sentence touched Li Quanfu's heart. Yes, danger is nothing compared to starving to death. "Then you and Da Zhuang will practice archery together in the future."
"Okay, Uncle Quanfu, I will study hard. I have one more thing to trouble you with. Can you lend me your ox cart? I'll go and pull my things over." Li Xiaoxiao smiled. It was getting late and her parents were still waiting at home.
"Wait a minute, you little devil. I'll go collect some things and go with you."
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and hurried forward to help.
Li Xiaoxiao's family didn't have much stuff, so they brought back a lot in one cart, including pots, pans, two large bags of food, and some rags. Nothing else. When the villagers who passed by saw how little stuff his family had, they all started talking about Old Li's family.
It was already evening when they arrived at Li Quanfu's house. Li Dazhuang heard the noise and ran out immediately. After saying hello to Li Dahai and Sun, he pulled the ox cart back home.
The meal was ready and it was already dark. The food was served on the table and everyone started to sit down. Li Laoxiu warmly greeted Li Xiaoxiao's family, "We are not strangers. You must eat well, just like you are at home."
In the end, everyone left after having eaten to their satisfaction.
Their family lived in the west wing. The old scholar Li lived in the main house, and Li Quanfu and his wife lived in the east wing. There was also a small compartment inside, where Li Dazhuang lived.
The west wing was originally prepared as the wedding room for Li Dazhuang, and was used to temporarily store some sundries. Aunt Zhang was a diligent woman, and she kept it very clean even though no one lived there. The room was spacious and had a large window.
The whole family lay on the kang. Li Huawen tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He was still thinking about the chicken he had just eaten on the table. The chicken was so delicious, the most delicious thing in the world. He vaguely remembered that the last time he had eaten chicken was during the Chinese New Year.
That day, his grandmother was happy and gave him two pieces of meat. He was reluctant to eat them and secretly left one piece, thinking that he would eat it slowly later. Unexpectedly, it went bad after just a few days and he was sad for a long time. Who would have thought that only half a year later, he could eat it again, and he ate a lot. Now his stomach is still full and he feels so happy.
"Dad, will our family still be able to eat meat in the future?"
Li Dahai was overwhelmed with emotions, but how could his young son know that in two months their family might not even have enough food to eat, let alone meat.
"Of course. When my sister goes out hunting in the future, we can eat meat every day." Li Xiaoxiao saw what Li Huawen was thinking, so she told them that Li Quanfu had promised to teach her archery.
After hearing this, Sun said anxiously: "How can a girl like you go up the mountain to hunt? It's so dangerous." Li Xiaoxiao had said that before, but she didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect that this girl really wanted to go.
Li Dahai also disagreed. A few years ago, a hunter in their village went up the mountain and was killed by a tiger. Most of his body was eaten. Since then, no one dared to go up the mountain for a long time.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm not going to the mountains. I'll go with Uncle Quanfu. You can rest assured with him around."
The family chattered for a long time before slowly falling asleep. Li Xiaoxiao listened to their even breathing and knew that they were all asleep, but she was not sleepy at all.
So many things happened on the first day of her time travel. She thought of her grandfather who depended on her for everything. She wondered if she had died in her original world when she traveled here. She couldn't imagine how sad and upset her grandfather would be when he knew it.
