The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray
Chapter 5 Study hard and provide for my sister in her old age
Li Xi choked and ruffled his hair. "You still have to go to school. You'll know everything once you get there."
When Hu Zi heard the word "school", he became depressed. He lowered his head and poked at the dirt on the ground, "Sister, I don't want to go to school."
Hu Zi is already sensible. He knows that going to school is very expensive. The youngest son of the village chief in their village studies in a private school in the town, and it is said that it costs a lot of money every month.
Now that his father is gone, he is the only man in the family. He has to be sensible and not spend money recklessly.
"Why don't you go to school?"
Hu Zi lowered his head and his eyes turned red. "I won't go to school."
Li Xi listened to Hu Zi's slightly choked voice and guessed something. She squatted down and lifted up Hu Zi's lowered head.
Hu Zi looked at his sister, his red eyes unable to hold back the tears. He turned his head away stubbornly, "Sister, I don't want to go to school. I'm grown up. I'm a man and can help with housework."
Li Xi sighed inwardly and used her hands to wipe away the tears on his face. What should she do if the child is too sensible?
"Huzi, I want to ask you, who is more capable, the villagers in our village or the officials in the county government?"
Hu Zi looked at his sister in confusion, not knowing why she asked him such a simple question. "Of course the people in the county government are very capable."
"Do you know why the officials in the county government are so powerful?" Li Xi continued to ask.
"Why?" Hu Zi raised his head and looked at Li Xi confusedly.
"Because reading makes people wise. Only knowledge can change your destiny, so that you don't have to wallow in the mire, change your perception of the world, and become a person who is useful to the country, the people, and yourself."
Hu Zi looked at his sister in front of him in confusion and bewilderment. He vaguely sensed that an unknown door was opening in front of him, but at the moment he didn't know what it meant.
"But……"
"No buts." Li Xi tapped Hu Zi's little head with her finger, "You have mom and me at home, so you should go to school honestly. Once you have learned enough, you can support me in my old age. Do you understand?"
Huzi: Retirement?
"Do you understand?"
"understood."
"Understand what?"
"I will provide for my sister in her old age!"
Li Xi: "...Well, that's fine."
Li Xi touched Hu Zi's head. She looked at the firewood basket in the corner and saw it was gone. "Come on, go out for a walk with me."
Hu Zi touched his head and wondered why his sister loved to touch his head so much.
Li Xi led Hu Zi out of the yard and locked the gate. "Hu Zi, do you know where mother went to collect firewood?"
Hu Zi looked at his little black hand held by his sister, and felt very happy.
"I know. I'll take you there."
There is a mountain behind the Li family's yard. Although it is a bit remote, it is convenient. When Li's father was still alive, he often hunted wild game from the mountain to improve the food. On weekdays, the Li family also picked up firewood from the back mountain.
Li Xi knew that the current situation of the Li family was not optimistic. When Li's father was alive, he was indeed capable, but after building a house, there was not much left from the money he earned.
Now they have a weak mother, a little brother, and heartless "relatives" in their family. Li Xi sighed, the game is in difficult mode from the start.
However, Li Xi has never been a person who likes to dwell on difficulties. Looking at the lush mountains in front of her, she quickly adjusted her mood.
"Sister, mother is not here. She might have gone to the mountain." People in the village would also come to the back mountain to collect firewood, and the firewood at the foot of the mountain was always the first to be picked up.
"Let's go to the mountain and take a look." The purpose of Li Xi's trip was the mountain in front of them.
Mysterious mountains, rich resources, source of wealth!
"Okay." Hu Zi's eyes lit up and he was eager to try. He loved going to the mountains to play the most.
The back mountain of Lijiatun has no name, it is just called Back Mountain. It is just the end of the first month of the lunar year and the weather is still very cold. It must have snowed a few days ago. Although the snow on the treetops has melted, there is still some unmelted snow and frost in the grass.
Before traveling through time, Li Xi was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine. There were many great Chinese doctors in her family. However, due to some special reasons, Li Xi and her grandfather were the only ones left in this family of traditional Chinese medicine.
Because of those reasons, Li Xi's grandfather took Li Xi to live in seclusion in a small mountain village. Since she was a child, she followed her grandfather to the mountains to collect herbs, diagnose pulses and treat patients. Maybe because of her talent, Li Xi mastered the medical skills passed down by the Li family when she was sixteen years old. When she was in college, she also obtained a second degree in clinical medicine.
Therefore, she knew best how much wealth the mountains possessed and how broad-minded and selfless they were. She grew up in the mountains since she was a child, so she was not unfamiliar with the mountains. However, today, as she was with her children, she did not plan to go deep into the mountains.
On the way up the mountain, Li Xi saw a lot of Gastrodia elata among the weeds in the bushes. It was indeed a natural and untouched mountain. The ground was full of medicinal herbs and the whole mountain was full of gold.
Li Xi glanced at the little kid she was holding, but the purpose of her visit this time was not to pick herbs, but to scout the area.
Li Xi and Hu Zi walked forward a little further and didn't meet Madam Liu yet, so they decided to go back.
"Let's go, go back."
Hu Zi grabbed her hand, "Mom?"
"Mom may have gone back already, let's go back too."
This mountain is not small, so it is not surprising that we didn’t run into each other. Maybe we just missed each other.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Xi brought Hu Zi home, she saw Madam Liu rushing out of the room in a hurry.
Madam Liu was relieved to see that Da Niu and Hu Zi were fine. She had just come back from collecting firewood and saw that the door was locked and no one was at home. She thought her mother-in-law had brought people to make trouble again.
"Where have you been?"
"Go to the mountain and find my mother." Hu Zi answered obediently.
Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. She was glad that everything was fine.
In the next few days, perhaps because Mrs. Li was frightened by Li Xi, life in Li Xi's family was relatively peaceful.
The main reason is that the ground is covered with snow and the crops in the fields do not need to be taken care of. Unless it is necessary, the people in Lijiatun stay at home to keep warm, and Li Xi's family is naturally the same.
After several days of rest and acupuncture, Li Xi's body has recovered a lot, but she does not intend to let go of the culprit - the cousin who pushed the original owner into the water. However, she has not seen the original owner's cousin since she traveled through time, so she still needs a suitable opportunity.
Both Mrs. Li and Li Yinzhu's family favored boys over girls. As far as she could remember, the original owner's cousin Li Zhaodi didn't have an easy life either. At such a young age, she not only had to do housework, but also had to work in the fields. After all, she had a lazy father and a grandmother who did nothing but scold people.
In the original owner's impression, she always kept her head down and was taciturn, and the two of them didn't have much interaction, so Li Xi didn't know why she pushed the original owner, but she always knew the reason. Since she had inherited the karma of the original owner, she would definitely avenge her.
