Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Lin Chunyi strained her whole body to pull back their wings, then held them in her arms to comfort them.

"I didn't say I was going to sell you! Don't get agitated..."

Then he turned to the scholar and said:

"Sir, I'm so sorry. This hen is a pet I keep, I'm not selling it!"

The scholar said embarrassedly:

"Miss, I apologize for my rudeness. Uh, I also apologize to your two hens."

He also bowed to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.

"..."

Lin Chunyi couldn't help but say:

"Sir, isn't it true that old hens are used to nourish the body? You can't just look at how fat the chicken is, it's not just about eating the meat."

The scholar asked, dumbfounded:

"Aren't we eating meat? Why are there young and old hens? Afu didn't tell me any of this. She only told me to buy one hen."

"Uh... it's best to use an old hen, and also buy some red dates, angelica, and codonopsis to stew together in soup. That's the best way to replenish qi and blood."

But that's all I know. It would be better if you went to the clinic and consult a doctor.

The scholar suddenly understood and nodded, saying:

"Oh, I see. I thought it was just a matter of buying a hen and cooking it. Thank you for letting me know, young lady. I'll go to the clinic right away."

After the scholar left, Lin Lanshan came out of the shop carrying several bags of pastries. "Sister, were you talking to someone just now?"

Lin Chunyi watched the scholar walk away before clapping her hands and laughing wildly a few times.

"Are there really such ignorant bookworms in this world? That's outrageous!"

Moreover, they are very methodical, listening to each word spoken.

I really wonder how difficult it must be for that scholar's wife to communicate with him at home...

Lin Lanshan looked puzzled and glanced at Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who were still sulking.

What's wrong? You've only been gone a short while, and now you're isolating me?

……

The two sisters have walked through every street and alley since yesterday.

I've bought everything I wanted and could afford. I've spent almost all my money.

It's almost 1-3 PM, let's go home.

They drove off to buy a small stone mill and two bamboo tubes of chilled plum juice, then left the county town.

Once on the wide road, Peach started running again.

Lin Chunyi was in the carriage, organizing the things they had bought over the past two days.

Lin Lanshan was driving outside, drinking plum soup, and also fed Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang two pears.

Upon arriving at Youxian Village, they took a carriage that circled around the back of the mountain to the village chief's house.

The two sisters got out of the car and knocked on the door.

Aunt Zhang opened the door.

"Aunt Zhang, we've come to see the village chief."

"Xiaoyi and Lanshan are here! Come in, come in! Your Uncle Lin was talking about you yesterday; it's been quite a while since he last came over."

The two women led the peaches inside, and Aunt Zhang exclaimed in surprise:

"You bought a mule cart? The mules are really well taken care of."

"A mule cart was convenient for hauling game and grain. So we gritted our teeth and bought it."

"That's true, carrying heavy things up and down the mountain is indeed troublesome. You must be careful of large wild animals when you are walking in the mountains, and don't be reckless."

The mule cart was parked in the yard, and Aunt Zhang led the two sisters into the main room to sit down.

"Xiaoyun,"

Sister Yang came over from the side room carrying the child. "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Give Xiaoman to me, and go to the village entrance to call your father back."

Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan stood up and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"It's Xiaoyi and Lanshan. Alright, you can sit down."

"Mother, I'm going now." Yang's wife handed the child to her mother-in-law and went out.

Aunt Zhang sat beside the two sisters, holding her child, and asked them about their recent situation. They answered her questions one by one.

The two sat on the chairs, truly feeling "like they were sitting on pins and needles"...

I just can't get used to going to other people's homes; socializing is terrifying!

"Xiaoyi, come here, hold Xiaoman for a while. It's so hot, I'll go make you two some tea."

"No need, we're not thirsty, Auntie..."

Aunt Zhang handed the child to her and left.

Now she felt even more awkward... Lin Chunyi could only stiffly hold the child in her arms.

Lin Lanshan, sitting next to him, was a little curious. She leaned over to look and then touched his little face.

Slippery!

"Sis, his face is so smooth and soft, hehehe."

Xiaoman didn't cry or fuss. She showed her few baby teeth and made two "ee-ee-ah-ah" sounds, waving her little hands in the air.

Lin Lanshan reached out her hand, and Xiaoman grasped her index finger.

"Hehehe, he's not shy at all. It's kind of funny."

"You like it? Then come and hold it."

"Then forget it..."

Lin Chunyi held Xiaoman in her arms, while Lin Lanshan teased him from the side.

Xiaoman stared at her with her big, round eyes and smiled.

Aunt Zhang brought over a tea tray, and the two sisters stood up again, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, for your trouble."

Aunt Zhang smiled and picked up Xiaoman, helping her sit down. She said:

"Don't mention it, it's been a while since you last visited."

Lin Chunyi took a sip of tea. "We were busy planting vegetables recently, and we also hunted a few pheasants and deer..."

"What vegetables can grow well in the mountains? Let's pick some vegetables from the yard before we leave."

After thinking for a moment, she got up and handed the child back to Lin Chunyi. "Never mind, I might forget about it later. I'll go pick some for you now, you two sit down."

Lin Chunyi quickly stopped Aunt Zhang, "No need, Auntie, we have plenty of vegetables. It's enough for us, really, we don't need any more."

After some back and forth, she said, "If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell your aunt. Don't be shy."

The two sisters nodded and smiled in response.

Just then, Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered, "Xiao Yi, you're sixteen this year, right..."

Lin Chunyi's heart tightened instantly; it was all over.

I could only bite the bullet and answer, "It's the sixteenth of May."

"I'm thinking that you're sixteen this year, it's time to start thinking about marriage."

"What kind of young man are you looking for? Let me find out for you. It's too lonely for just the two of you living in the mountains."

Lin Chunyi: I don't want to find any young men, I just want to make money. I don't feel lonely, I just feel it's very noisy every day...

Lin Lanshan: No, if my sister brings a man home to stay, where am I supposed to sleep? Under the bed?

Lin Chunyi frantically racked her brains for an answer, carefully considering her words:

"Auntie, I haven't thought about that yet. My little sister is still young, and if there are outsiders in the house, she..."

Then, somewhat embarrassed, he said:

"Besides, life in the mountains is boring and unsafe, so who would want to marry into our family?"

Aunt Zhang then said, "Xiao Yi, why don't you move down the mountain to live?"

Do you think your Uncle Lin and I would let you be bullied in the village?

Besides, Lanshan will be getting engaged in a couple of years anyway...

You can't live like this forever; you need to find someone who cares about you and takes care of you.

Lin Chunyi shook her head, "Auntie, we have our grandparents, father and mother in the mountains, we don't want to leave."

Moreover, we've gotten used to living in the mountains, and we really enjoy our current life.

If I happen to meet the right person someday, someone willing to marry into the family, then we'll see.
