"Do you know where Liu Xiaohua will marry?" Out of humanitarian concern, Ji Yanzhi still asked this sentence.

Zhang Laogen, who came to talk to Ji Yanzhi, knew that, after all, Zhang Laogen even inquired specifically in order to talk to Ji Yanzhi. No, after getting the first-hand gossip, Zhang Laogen hurriedly seized the opportunity to come and talk to Ji Yanzhi.

Zhang Laogen: "It seems to be Lizigou, which is dozens of miles away from us."

I remember that there are cars and bicycles in this era, but they basically rely on walking traffic. Ji Yanzhi nodded along the way: "This is quite far away."

"It's quite far, but you can still get there in a day." Zhang Laogen glanced around and continued to speak sneakily: "But oh, this is also a trouble. If you don't say it, it's the old Zhao family. That virtue..."

When Widow Liu remarried to Ji Laoshi, the people of the old Zhao family had a bite of the roots of his old Zhao family. If her mother took her to remarry together, it would be tortured. Well, one of Ji Yan came and divorced Widow Liu smoothly at the expense of 250 yuan. The two white-eyed wolves brought in front naturally followed Widow Liu back to the next village.

However, Ji Yanzhi used small tricks to hypnotize Widow Liu with special techniques, so that the time limit for her to "dream" to her previous and present life is one week. That is to say, even if Ji Yanzhi is chaotic and divorced smoothly with Widow Liu on the premise of money loss, Widow Liu who returns to her natal family will continue to dream for a week. And that dream can be said to be performed in all directions with Widow Liu, Zhao Qingshan's cruelty.

This woman, Widow Liu, is essentially a selfish master.

Under the premise of worry-free food and clothing, Widow Liu can do everything for her children. But when it comes to herself, especially the "future" warning, Widow Liu can think of taking Zhao Qingchuan to remarry, but instead of throwing Zhao Qingchuan and Zhao Qingshan back to the old Zhao's house, it is considered enough to have a mother and child.

So don't ask, if she really didn't know or was she fake, it was the old Zhao family who took Zhao Qingshan back. Lao Zhao's family originally only planned to take her seriously, so that she had better be like a **** who toiled and blamed, and honestly pulled the seeds of Lao Zhao's family.

As a result, for seven days a week, Widow Liu had "dreamed" about the future. This time she resolutely obeyed the advice of her family and refused to remarry with Zhao Qingshan, the eldest son who was completely broken from the root, even in Lao Zhao. When the family wanted to make trouble, Widow Liu said directly and asked them to take Zhao Qingchuan back together.

Raising a nephew is completely different from raising two nephews. Zhao Qingshan is already half a big deal, and at least he can help with something. But what does Zhao Qingchuan...can expect a five-year-old baby to do?

So, the courage of Lao Zhao's family is purely based on Widow Liu's original ‘weakness’. Once Widow Liu is tough, what can Lao Zhao’s family do except for the children who are involved with Widow Liu? After all, the old Zhao's family is basically a villain, but the old Liu's family did not let it go. Together with the three daughters-in-law, none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Knowing this accidentally, the first thing Ji Yanzhi did was to be fortunate that he was simply resolute and did not continue to entangle Xiaoqian with Widow Liu. To be sure, the small money in Ji Yanzhi's eyes is not bad at the moment. But to be honest, the follow-up questions that continue to be entangled with Widow Liu are really troublesome and mind-blowing.

Ji Yanzhi's goal was to raise Ji Mao's well from the beginning, as long as it doesn't matter, what does it matter to him to die in front of him?

Ji Yan's nature is cold, Zhang Laogen doesn't know. In Zhang Laogen's eyes, Ji Yanzhi is still the old man who was dumb and taciturn, and only knew that he was working hard. Still beeping quietly on the side.

Ji Yanzhi echoed a sentence or two from time to time, doing dual purposes, and quickly arranged the land he was responsible for digging out the sweet potato ditch neatly.

At noon, Ji Yanzhi greeted the village party secretary, and took Ji Maoer, who was already asleep under the shade of the tree, home to light a fire and cook. In the eyes of outsiders, leaving the hostess will inevitably mess up the housework, and can only eat and drink. The three meals a day prepared by Ji Yanzhi are exquisite and delicious.

These days when Widow Liu took her child back to the old Liu's house in the next village, Ji Yanzhi went up the mountain several times and caught a lot of pheasant and hare, made into chicken and rabbit, and brought it to the county town to sell.

Sometimes Ji Yanzhi really feels that this azimuth world is amazing. It looks like the 70s and 80s in Ji Yanzhi's memory, but there is no catastrophe for ten years, and no young educated people go to the countryside. The purchase of things is still restricted and can be purchased by ticket, but free private transactions are not prohibited.

Take the county where Ji Yanzhi often takes Ji Maoer to go to the market, there is a special market for the people to trade freely in exchange for their daily needs.

Ji Yanzhi's craftsmanship is good. The cured chicken and rabbit made are very fragrant, and there is no need for bills. It can be said that every time they come to the market to set up a stall, they are quickly sold out. In a short period of time, Ji Yanzhi made more than one hundred yuan and paid back half of the two hundred yuan he owed Murakami.

The main course at noon today is chicken stewed with mushrooms. Ji Yanzhi didn’t add any aniseed, and the chicken was simmered thoroughly, which is especially suitable for children to eat. Served with fragrant rice, Ji Maoer ate two large bowls, before Ji Yanzhi's refusal to stop, he couldn't stop his mouth.

"Cat, don't overeating and drinking." Ji Yanzhi stroked Ji Maoer's hair and warned very gently.

Originally, Ji Yanzhi would still wonder if he had remembered Ji Mao’er’s birthday incorrectly. After all, if he remembered correctly, Ji Mao’er would be almost eight years old, but her size looks worse than a five or six-year-old child. Be short. It's just that Ji Yan said during this period of time, all kinds of meticulous feeding, Ji Maoer can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Frozen is from a yellow and skinny kitten cub, quickly grew into a round and jade orange cat.

What does this mean?

On behalf of Ji Laoshi, this father is really a waste.

Before marrying Widow Liu, I only knew I was working hard and never cared about whether Ji Maoer was full. And after marrying Widow Liu, on the premise that she only knew how to work hard, she was really **** up to leave all the housework to Widow Liu to take care of.

Ji Yanzhi doesn't understand what good cooking is in a broken home. Anyway, Ji Yanzhi thinks that Ji honest is a standard iron man. Tie Hanhan has no brains, no wonder Ji honestly can't figure out that Ji Mao'er is becoming silent, and there is no problem with the sense of existence.

"But Dad's cooking is so delicious, the cat still wants to eat it."

Ji Mao'er touched the already convex belly, feeling that he could actually eat a little more. The problem is, her good father doesn't think so much.

As a good boy, the most important thing is to be obedient, so even if Ji Maoer looked at the fragrant rice and chicken stewed mushrooms, almost drooling, but after saying that he still wanted to eat, he struggled to look away from the dinner table. Move away.

"Aba, you can eat it, the cat is doing it by the side. When Aba finishes eating, the cat will help Aba wash the dishes."

Regarding the issue of washing dishes, Ji Yanzhi has no idea that children will not need to do it for the time being. Besides, Ji Maoer will be eight years old after turning over. Regardless of whether it is urban or rural, regardless of gender, children at this age should try to help with housework.

And Ji Maoer is not good at it. On the contrary, since Widow Li married Ji Laoshi for more than a year, Ji Maoer has basically done all the odd jobs such as cooking pots and dishes. Ji Yanzhi wondered, if it wasn't for the first floor of the basement of Ji's home where there were no pigs, it would be the job of the season cats to say that it is not possible to clean the pigsty, feed the pigs and hog grass.

"When Dad is free, I will catch more rabbits to feed you."

Ji Maoer nodded happily, and said, "Then, Dad, you have to make more rabbit cages, otherwise the little rabbit will have no house to live in."

"I'll do it in a while."

Ji Yanzhi took a big mouthful of rice and then stopped eating.

Ji Yanzhi helped Ji Maoer put the rice bowl into the hot water in the stove, then moved a stool, sat under the eaves, and began to slowly cut the bamboo strips with a machete to make rabbit cages.

Ji Yanzhi's craftsmanship is very skillful and familiar, and he quickly made the rabbit cage, and it was time for work.

"Mao'er, Abba has gone to work. Do you still go to work with Abba at home?"

Ji Yanzhi shouted at the room. After Ji Maoer washed the dishes, he went back to the room to clean.

"At home." Ji Maoer replied sweetly, "The cat wants to stay at home and clean."

Ji Yanzhi nodded and left the house with a hoe. However, before officially starting work, Ji Yanzhi went to the village chief and said that he wanted Ji Maoer to go to school with the grandson of the village chief’s family.

"The commune elementary school is not very far. Is it necessary to go to school together?" The village chief looked at Ji Yanzhi with ineffable words: "Honestly, your cat is almost eight years old, not only three years old. You are so nervous. ?"

Ji Yanzhi: "The village chief, you are afraid that you forgot that the commune elementary school is closer to the neighboring village. Then Zhao Qingshan dared to bully Maoer in front of me, it is hard to guarantee that he will not bully him while he is alone. I’m also to blame for being stupid at first, paying the tuition for one year."

Honestly Ji is an idiot. That Zhao Qingshan is obviously a few days younger than Ji Maoer. However, in order to fear that outsiders will say something, he only cares for his own daughters and does not care for the stepson brought by his wife, so that Zhao Qingshan is one year ahead of schedule. Go to school, and Ji Maoer will go to school next year.

In fact, from the memory of Ji Yanzhi, it can be known that in fact, the cat will not be able to read a book next year. As an authentic old farmer, Ji Laoshi, Tie Hanhan, didn’t think there was anything wrong with Ji Mao’er not going to school, because as far as a village with a radius of a hundred li is known, there are really few people willing to spend a few dollars for them. The girl in the mouth reads a book. Within this kind of patriarchal thinking, it is not surprising that Ji Laoshi, Tie Hanhan, would feel that loving his daughter is to keep her hungry and cold.

Tiehanhan, really a Tiehanhan.

Why didn't I think that Widow Liu would be used to saying one thing and doing another thing.

Yes, there is no evidence that Widow Liu talked to Ji Mao in private. However, Ji Maoer became silent day by day, and day by day timid. In Ji Yanzhi's view, Widow Liu, Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Qingchuan, and their mother and son are purely entangled. Two white-eyed wolves physically tortured Ji Mao, while Widow Liu was a mental blow to Ji Mao. Two-pronged approach, Ji Mao's can be cheerful and optimistic, and can rush towards the tiger with one hand when in danger. It became a miracle of the ages.

Hey, why the more you analyze it, the more angry you get!

Ji Yanzhi picked up a bunch of tooth flowers, suppressed the idea of ​​taking time to interrupt Zhao Qingshan's legs, and looked at the village expectantly.

"The village chief, I am really worried that Zhao Qingshan's wolf cub will be divorced because I divorced his mother. His mother will remarry again but will not bring him with him and only bring him to Qingchuan, and put his hatred on being accustomed to being bullied by him. On the cat."

The village raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Liu Xiaohua is going to remarry?"

Obviously he didn't know this.

Ji Yanzhi nodded: "Zhang Laogener, tell me."

"That Zhang Laogen is really an inquiries." The village head shook his head, and then he said: "It is a trivial matter to let my grandson accompany the cat to school. But to be honest, I'm halfway through school now. It's not worthwhile to transfer to work. It's better to be straightforward. Direct enrollment next semester."

Ji Yanzhi nodded again: "I think so too. I will trouble the village chief, your grandson next semester!"

"What is the trouble, trouble!"

The village chief waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and started to supervise and urge the villagers to work quickly, striving to plant the sweet potatoes as soon as possible.

In the next few days, the villagers in the small mountain village were so busy planting sweet potatoes that they were almost too tired. Even the big man Ji Yanzhi, who has not worked in farming for many lifetimes, went to the fields abruptly. The first few days found it interesting, but then he was exhausted.

But fortunately, Ji Yanzhi's physical fitness is not what he said, and since the day he took over this body, Ji Yanzhi has exercised consciously. Today, Ji Yanzhi can say without boasting that he goes up to the mountain to fight tigers and go to the sea to catch sharks. , Can do it easily.

Ji Yanzhi rubbed his sore arm, and returned to the turret at the end of the village in the light of the sunset.

The muddy walls are pitted, and moss has grown in some places. But that’s okay, I’m already busy with the farm work. Next, Ji Yanzhi will have time to take a good rest of the house. By the way, he will raise the courtyard wall and put some glass **** on the courtyard wall so as not to get used to walking in the West Village of Aidong Village. Erliuzi found out that Ji Maoer was the only one in his house on weekdays, so he came to his house to steal things with a guilty heart.

Things are stolen next, Ji Yanzhi is afraid that the non-long-eyed second-rate child will hurt Ji Maoer.

"It looks like we are going to raise a dog."

Ji Yanzhi found the Season Cat who was feeding the fattened rabbits by the cellar on the first floor of Diaojiao.

Ji Maoer smiled sweetly at Ji Yanzhi: "Abba, you see that the little rabbit has grown into a big rabbit."

Ji Yanzhi nodded: "It's ready to be cooked."

Ji Maoer was stunned for a moment, then raised his fingers and started counting the N methods of rabbits and rabbits. In the end, Ji Maoer licked his mouth and said anticipatingly: "Abba, I heard that rabbit meat can also be used to make dumplings. How about we make rabbit dumplings!"

"Okay. The cat finds the white flour, and Dad picks the fattest rabbit to kill."

Sure enough, whether it is by birth or adoption, as long as you stay for a long time, not only the behavior habits, but also the personality and thinking mode will be the same to a certain extent. No, how long has passed since, Ji Maoer has changed from ‘the rabbit is so cute and must be raised well’ to ‘the rabbit is so cute, of course I have to raise it and eat it.’ Tsk, it turns out that my father teaches the law of true fragrance that can't escape food.

Ji Yanzhi chose the fattest rabbit from the rabbit cage. After hanging the poor rabbit with a rope, Ji Yanzhi squatted in the ditch next to the well and quickly gave the rabbit who had died. Peeling. The rabbit's meat is basically concentrated in the thighs and soft abdomen.

So Ji Yanzhi used a dagger to cut the meat in these parts, and added the green onion, ginger, and pepper to chop the meat. As for Tutu's body, Ji Yanzhi chopped it directly into pieces of meat, intending to stir-fry with green chilies and dried red chilies in a pot of spicy fried tutu.

"Abba, I went out to pick some shepherd's purse in the morning!"

Ji Maoer took advantage of Ji Yanzhi's time to chop the meat, and showed him the wild shepherd's purse in a bamboo basket as if offering treasures. Then, without Ji Yanzhi's command, he fetched water and started to wash the shepherd's purse.

Soon, Ji Yanzhi chopped the meat, he started to knead the noodles, and then with the back of a knife, ‘crushed’ sheets of round and thin dumpling skins.

After Ji Yanzhijiang and the dough were rolled into dumpling skins, Ji Maoer washed the wild shepherd's purse carefully. Ji Yanzhi took it and quickly cut the washed wild shepherd's purse into froth with a kitchen knife on the chopping board, then sprinkled with salt to control water, mixed the seasoning with the chopped rabbit meat froth, and started making dumplings.

Ji Yanzhi was busy throughout the whole process, and Ji Maoer helped to wash a dish, and then it was her full-time job to burn the fire.

Soon, the water boiled in the pot. Ji Yanzhi began to lay the dumplings as white as jade, looking white and fat dumplings. Ji Mao'er has a good appetite now, and she can eat about ten of Ji Yanzhi's big dumplings. As for Ji Yanzhi, there is no need to say more. Anyway, a farmer who has worked hard, if he eats openly, his appetite is quite amazing.

"Would you like vinegar?"

Ji Yanzhi salvaged ten dumplings for Ji Maoer. By the way, I would like to ask about the taste.

Ji Maoer: "I want vinegar, but also oily pepper."

"You need less oily pepper. My cat, your intestines and stomach are too weak. You can't eat things that are too greasy and too spicy."

Ji Yanzhi put the bowl of shepherd’s purse dumplings that belonged to Ji Maoer on the dinner table, and then went to the stove again and picked up all the shepherd’s purse dumplings in the pot. Put some balsamic vinegar and a spoonful of chili oil. The women sat face to face, and soon they were sweaty.

At this moment, a flapping sound came from outside the closed courtyard door.

"Honestly, do you have medicine at home."

It was Zhang Laogen, and Ji Yanzhi dropped the bowls and chopsticks, got up and opened the tied courtyard door.

Ji Yanzhi: "What medicine do you want?"

"I remember that you went to the market last time and prescribed a special cold medicine at the county health center." Zhang Laogen said anxiously: "My kid has a fever suddenly. Honestly, you give me a special cold medicine."

"If you have a fever, you should take a fever-reducing medicine. You wait a moment."

Ji Yanzhi turned around and entered the room, and quickly took a quick-acting anti-fever medicine and a special cold medicine.

"Eat two together."

Ji Yanzhi put the medicine on Zhang Laogen's palm.

Zhang Laogen thanked him again and again, and rushed home without stopping.

His mother-in-law walked around anxiously with her little son, and couldn't help asking when she came back: "Where is the medicine? Ji Laoshi gave him the medicine."

Zhang Laogen was anxious to pour water to give medicine to the child, but ignored his mother-in-law's question. Zhang Laogen breathed a sigh of relief until he fed the two medicines Ji Yanzhi had given to his younger son. "Based on my relationship with Ji Honest, how could it not be possible for him to give me life-saving medicine."

His mother-in-law: "Then you ask how much money is there."

Zhang Laogen froze suddenly. "Hey, aren't you in a hurry to come back and give your child medicine?"

His mother-in-law: "Then you have to remember to ask. Ji Honestly wants money is one thing, if you don't even ask, you will be overwhelmed."

"I was really anxious to come back and give my child medicine before forgetting."

Zhang Laogen was more and more unable to sit still by his wife. After a while, with the effects of special cold medicine and special anti-fever medicine, his youngest son soon stopped having a fever. So Zhang Laogen hurriedly asked his wife to take five yuan, smeared and ran to the end of the village.

Ji Yanzhi was about to fall with a shovel of water, but he almost ran into Zhang Laogen as soon as he left the door.

"Zhang Laogen, what are you doing? What are you going to my house without guarding your little son?"

"I forgot to ask you how much the medicine is." Zhang Laogen couldn't help but stuffed five yuan into Ji Yanzhi's pocket.

Ji Yanzhi smiled and told Zhang Laogen to take the money and quickly roll out: "It's only two pills. You gave me five dollars to tease me. Come on, take it back quickly and help me find one to look after the house. That’s the puppies in the nursing home. If you don’t give money, it proves that you didn’t treat me as a brother.

Zhang Laogen reclaimed his hand that was ready to stuff money.

"Come on, I remember, you want to be able to take care of the puppies in the nursing home after you grow up, don't you? Don't worry, I put it in my heart, and I will find it for you."

"Then you don't hurry to get out, go back and guard the iron egg."

Ji Yanzhi slammed his hands, picked up the filled water again, and walked to the collective pig farm in Murakami.

Zhang Laogen touched his forehead and secretly said, "Honesty is really different from being together," and then turned to the center of the village.

Zhang Laogen's mother-in-law saw Zhang Laogen go and return soon, and at the beginning she asked: "Did you give the money to Ji Laoshi?"

"Yes, but I honestly didn't want it." Zhang Laogen sat down on the steps. "Fuck the kid, didn't you mean that the dog your maiden elder brother raised had a litter some time ago? The dog is not fierce. If it is fierce, I will honestly catch one."

His mother-in-law: "I heard the elder brother said that the dog was a hybrid of a terrier and a wolf. You say that it is not fierce."

"It's good to be fierce." Zhang Laogen said with a smile: "Honestly let me find him a pup who can take care of the nursing home. I wonder if I can't trust the cat to be alone at home, so..."

His mother-in-law asked inexplicably: "If we are far away in the small mountain village, at least there are no second-rate people to steal things. The cat is almost eight years old and is a half-year-old child. Isn't it that you are so worried?"
