A Time Travel Effort in the 70s
Chapter 76 Liu Hui prepares to go into the mountains again
Shen Jiaren, Liu Hui, Erya, and Liu Jun couldn't help laughing when they saw Goudan and Zhang Aihua, one chasing and the other hiding.
Goudan rubbed his red ears and said in a sad tone, "Grandma, I get it, but can you please stop doing it?
There are so many people here, and I'm already this old, can't you at least give me some face?
Why do you always make me embarrassed in front of so many people? "
When Zhang Aihua heard what Goudan said, she put down her chopsticks and said angrily, "Say it again?
Do you want to eat again?
If you could be as obedient as Arya, would I always do that to you?
Also, why did I pull your ear just now?
I told you to eat slowly, eat slowly, either eat after you finish eating, or don’t eat so much, did you listen?
Not only did you not listen, you did the exact opposite?
Who choked just now?
Why are you so disobedient, little brat? "
After Zhang Aihua finished speaking, she felt so angry that she wanted to beat up the two bastards.
When Goudan saw that his grandmother's hand was about to rise again, he quickly stood up and tried to hide.
When Liu Jun saw that the two were about to quarrel again, his face darkened and he said, "Goudan, come back and sit down to eat, don't run around again. If you don't listen next time, I'll let your uncle have a talk with you.
"Old woman, don't be angry, eat quickly, take a rest after lunch, and go to the fields to work in the afternoon. If you finish eating early, you can rest for a while longer."
When Goudan saw that his grandfather's face was grim, he immediately sat down on the stool obediently and did not dare to run again.
When Zhang Aihua heard her old man speak, and his voice was still worried about her not getting a good rest at noon, she didn't do anything to Goudan. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
After a while, no one spoke anymore and just focused on eating.
Shen Jiaren stopped being distracted and started to concentrate on eating.
After Shen Jiaren finished the pancakes Liu Hui made for her, she ate some of the pancakes she used to eat. She found that they were just as Liu Hui said, each one had its own unique characteristics, and the taste was very different after adding different dishes.
The paper-thin pancakes are chewy when eaten alone. After a few bites, your cheeks will feel tired. But after adding crushed chili or smearing the fried sauce, the taste is completely different.
To be honest, Shen Jiaren feels that paper-thin pancakes are more suitable for eating alone when you have nothing to do. Not only is it time-consuming, but the key is that they are made of coarse grains, so you won’t gain weight no matter how much you eat. The most important thing is that they can satisfy your hunger.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Aihua said to Goudan, "Goudan, you wash the dishes at noon today, and you wash the dishes in the afternoon as well. Erya, come on, come back to the room with me and have a rest, don't worry about your brother.
Liu Hui, take a basket, put some pancakes and dishes in it for Xiao Shen, and let Xiao Shen take it back to eat.
By the way, I saw that she particularly liked the mashed green peppers and pickles, so you can give her more of these and let her take them back to eat.
Xiao Shen, you know that we have to put these in the well when we get back, right?
Liu Jun looked at his wife standing there, directing everyone, and couldn't help but smile, then took Erya to wash up.
When Goudan heard his grandmother's arrangement, he couldn't help but wail, "Grandma!!!!!!"
Zhang Aihua heard Goudan calling her indignantly, and she stood beside the dining table, one hand on her waist, and pointed at Goudan with the other hand, "Don't call me, you dare to disobey me, you can try it yourself."
As Zhang Aihua spoke, she looked around the yard, as if she was looking for something.
When Goudan saw that his grandmother seemed to be looking for a broom, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.
Humph, go ahead and look for it. I hid the broom long ago after I was beaten last time.
How could grandma find it?
"Grandma, grandma, I understand. You should wash up and have a nap. I will clean the table and wash the dishes."
When Zhang Aihua heard Goudan say this, she immediately guessed that it must be Goudan who had hidden himself.
This kid, really, only uses his intelligence on this and is not good at studying at all.
Shen Jiaren looked at Aunt Aihua and Goudan, smiled, and then she and Liu Hui worked together to take the bowls on the table to the kitchen.
After Liu Hui cleaned the table, he took a bamboo basket and went to the kitchen to start packing things for Shen Jiaren.
Liu Hui took a look at the dishes in the kitchen and found that the crushed green peppers that Xiao Shen liked were out of stock, so he prepared to go to the vegetable garden to pick some more peppers and cook a new dish for Shen Jiaren.
When Goudan saw his uncle about to come out of the kitchen, he quickly walked to the kitchen door and leaned on the door frame, "Uncle, where are you going? Aren't you going to help me?"
"I'm going to go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables for Xiao Shen and cook some for her. You wash the dishes first."
When Goudan heard what his uncle said, he immediately said happily, "Uncle, why don't I go pick them for you? The vegetables I pick are especially good."
When Liu Hui heard what Goudan said, his face was expressionless, but with a smile in his eyes, he said, "Just listen to grandma and clean up quickly. I won't help you.
You should be careful. You should know how grandma will punish you if the kitchen is not cleaned up or if there is any accident in the kitchen."
After Liu Hui finished speaking, he no longer cared about Goudan's wailing. He called Shen Jiaren and walked towards the vegetable garden behind.
Shen Jiaren and Liu Hui walked to the vegetable garden and asked, "Brother Liu Hui, are you sure this is okay? Goudan is barking so miserably, can we really just ignore him?"
"It's okay, that's just his personality. I asked him to wash the dishes and clean up just to temper his temper. Don't worry, I will definitely go check on him later."
After Shen Jiaren heard what Liu Hui said, she stopped talking and helped Liu Hui pick vegetables with the basket.
After Shen Jiaren and Liu Hui finished picking the vegetables, Shen Jiaren watched Liu Hui stir-frying peppers in the kitchen. Then, after putting everything into the basket, he called Shen Jiaren and prepared to send her back.
"Brother Liu Hui, no need, I can do it myself.
Besides, it’s noon, not night, I can do it myself.”
"It's okay, just take it as a walk after dinner."
"Well, what if the aunties in the village see us? I won't be able to explain myself then. It's better not to do that. Just send me to the gate of your yard. Really, don't send me."
"Okay, I'll take you to the door, and you should be careful on your way.
You saw what food I put for you just now, and you also saw how we ate when we had lunch together. When you go back, eat the same way you did at noon.
Of course, you can eat it however you like.
I'm just giving you a suggestion, it tastes better this way."
"Ah, Brother Liu Hui, are you always so talkative to everyone?"
After hearing what Shen Jiaren asked him, Liu Hui touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "No, I don't talk much normally."
"Then why do you talk so much whenever you're with me? You tend to nag."
Liu Hui touched his nose and said, "I don't know what's going on. Anyway, every time I'm with you, you talk a lot, and the more you talk, the more you talk."
After listening to Liu Hui, Shen Jiaren was also a little confused, but she didn't say anything else.
After Shen Jiaren took the basket handed to her by Liu Hui, she said goodbye and turned around and walked towards her home.
Liu Hui watched Shen Jiaren walk farther and farther away, until he could no longer see her and turned back to his own yard.
After Liu Hui entered the yard, he saw his mother sweeping the yard with a broom.
Liu Hui walked to his mother, bent down, took the broom from her hand, and said, "Mom, why haven't you gone to rest yet? Don't you have to work in the afternoon?
Are you tired from working in the fields? Do you want me to help you?"
After Zhang Aihua stood up, she sat on a stool beside the yard. Looking at her son's caring attitude towards her, she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
I am the second child and I usually talk very little.
He has the same temperament as his father. He is usually very quiet. But when he meets someone he likes, he becomes a chatterbox, and all he says is nonsense, which makes people feel bored. When something happens, he starts to care about you from the side, and slowly chats with you so that you can ask him questions.
I don't know how he was born, why doesn't he look like me at all? His slowness in speaking is really frustrating.
The more Zhang Aihua thought about it, the angrier she became, but she couldn't just ignore it, "Second Brother, just say what you want to say.
Don't take another detour. You've been doing this kind of work in the fields for so long, don't you know it? ?
Stop making excuses and just tell me, I need to go to bed after I finish speaking."
Liu Hui couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard his mother complaining about him, but when he thought about Shen Jiaren's shoes, he felt he had to say something.
Liu Hui thought for a moment, organized his words, and said, "Mom, did you see the clothes and shoes Xiao Shen was wearing today?"
When Zhang Aihua heard her son start beating around the bush again, she couldn't help but said angrily, "Why? Didn't you look carefully?"
"When I went to the city with Xiao Shen before, Xiao Shen bought Jiefang shoes, but today I saw Xiao Shen still wearing the same worn-out shoes, and the shoes looked even more worn. I guess the Jiefang shoes didn't fit his feet.
So, I want you to help make a pair of shoes for her."
Zhang Aihua was stunned when she heard her son say this, and then she said in a teasing tone, "Are you ready to start pursuing her?"
When Liu Hui heard his mother ask this, he was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the broom steady. After shaking it for a few times, Liu Hui blushed and said, "Mom, why do you say that?"
Zhang Aihua looked at her son's increasingly red face, "I could tell you liked Shen Zhiqing the first time we had dinner together, and I was even more certain of it the second time. Especially when we were eating dumplings, you took out two bowls and put an extra bowl on the side, and put noodle soup and sour soup dumplings in it, and you ate the dumplings from other people's bowls. Do you need me to give you an example?"
As Liu Hui listened to his mother talking more and more, his face became hotter and hotter, and he felt his ears gradually getting hotter. He hurriedly said in a hurried tone, "Mom, stop talking, stop talking."
Zhang Aihua looked at her son's helpless look and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, second brother, once you've figured it out, just dare to take action. Mom will definitely support you with all her strength.
Not to mention making shoes, even if it’s to make a set of clothes, your mother will grit her teeth and squeeze out the fabric to make you a set of clothes.
I will make the bottom and press it down later. Once the base is ready, my mom will stay up late to finish it."
Liu Hui looked at his mother's increasingly bright smile, and he called out embarrassedly, "Mom~"
Zhang Aihua ignored her son. "Originally, this cloth was intended for your father and you to make a pair of cotton-padded shoes for winter. I saved up the cotton and the cloth. Since you said so, I will take out the cloth and make a pair of single shoes for Xiao Shen first. I will give Xiao Shen a pair first. When I am not so busy in a few days, I will make Xiao Shen's winter cotton-padded shoes.
As for you and your father's cotton shoes, just mend them and continue to wear them."
"Mom, don't worry about the cloth. I've set a trap on the mountain. I'll go check it out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Then I'll bring some cloth, meat, and noodles home. I won't take the money this time."
"Son, be careful."
"Got it, Mom. You should take a nap. I'll clean up the yard and take a look at the kitchen that Goudan has cleaned. Then I'll take a nap too."
Zhang Aihua looked at her son like this and had something to say, but after thinking about it, she held back and went back to her room.
Liu Hui looked at his mother's hesitant expression and did not say a word. He began to sweep the yard diligently.
Liu Hui actually knew what his mother wanted to say. Because there were many people in his family and they did not have enough food and drink, he stayed with an old hunter in the village for a while before becoming a kitchen helper.
In fact, it was a coincidence. Liu Hui was very hungry at that time, so he went to the mountain to pick up something to eat. As a result, he ran into an old hunter who fell into a deep pit. Liu Hui helped tie the old hunter's rope to a tree. After the old hunter came out with the rope, he began to take Liu Hui around the mountains, either picking up some mountain products or taking him hunting to supplement the family's food and drink.
So after the old hunter was hacked to death by a blind bear in the mountains, Liu Hui buried the old hunter in the place where the old hunter had said he wanted to be buried after his death.
Liu Hui started to work as a kitchen helper, slowly earning money to supplement the family income. He would only go into the mountains when his family was really struggling or encountered difficulties. He went into the mountains less frequently, but he would still go.
This time, my mother probably heard that I went back to the mountains and was worried, but when she thought about the situation at home, she felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.
In fact, Liu Hui understood all of this, but his family conditions were like this. Even though he had work points and could earn a salary, because there were so many people in his family, he was really stretched to make ends meet in all aspects of his expenses.
Going into the mountains was the only option, and since he had followed the old hunter into the mountains for so long, as long as he didn't encounter any large carnivores, he would be able to escape safely.
Moreover, going into the mountains was for Xiao Shen. When Liu Hui thought of this, he felt that going into the mountains was also a kind of happiness.
I went into the mountains before for my family, and this time I went into the mountains for the person I love.
If going into the mountains can make the person you love live a better life, then there is no point in going into the mountains.
Moreover, Liu Hui was actually very grateful to the hunter from the bottom of his heart, because the hunter gave him a skill and enabled him to help when his family was in trouble or when he was in need.
