Chapter 25 Cuttings

Xia Chunlan's eyes flashed and she couldn't help but ask: "How is your father and your mother's relationship?"

Jiang Xiaowen sincerely felt that this Xia Zhiqing's behavior might be irrational. Otherwise, how could she say this to a child like him?

Jiang Xiaowen forced out a shy smile and did not reply.

Xia Chunlan was thoughtful, looking at the mountains in the distance, and seemed to have made up her mind, "After work today, I will go visit Comrade Li Jing."

 Jiang Xiaowen’s face showed a hint of gratitude, “Thank you, Xia Zhiqing!”

 It’s not that I’m grateful for her visit to her stepmother, but that she didn’t ask any further questions.

 Li Jing is a little busy. While taking care of Jiang Xiaoya, she is also making necessary furniture for the house in a short period of time: bed, bowl, bucket, basin, cabinet, chopping board, water ladle, whatever comes to mind.

 A lot of extra furniture was added. The first big tree cut down was not enough, so Li Jing cut down another one.

 With the extra wood, Li Jing strengthened the roof of one of the thatched houses and repaired the big hole in it.

There were no nails, so she tied them with stronger rattan, then cut the thatch and laid it out. The dilapidated thatched house looked brand new.

 Another collapsed thatched hut, Li Jing did not repair it for the time being, so she went up the mountain again to find food.

Holding Jiang Xiaoya, who she guessed was hungry for a long time, she carried the backpack she made as quickly as possible. She picked a few lotus leaves and put them in to prepare things for wrapping. She also took the kitchen knife and was very prepared. full.

The tree Li Jing chopped down was not far from the foot of the mountain. At this moment, he was heading deep into the mountain.

 Not long after walking, I found several mulberry trees.

Mulberries are the fruit of this season. Fully ripe mulberries are purple-red or purple-black, while the scattered mulberries hanging from the branches are mostly green.

These mulberry trees on the mountain, which are unknown how old they are, should have been known to the villagers for a long time. All the mulberries that could be picked were picked before they were fully mature. Only those that were out of reach from high places were not brutally attacked.

Li Jing put Jiang Xiaoya on the ground, asked her to sit down, told her to be good, and then climbed the tree neatly with the lotus leaves.

Her tree climbing skills are not bad. People who are tall are bold. She specializes in climbing high branches, breaking off the whole branches, then picking the mulberries, and throwing away the finished branches.

Jiang Xiaoya was calling under the tree, and Li Jing was picking and teasing her while talking.

 After picking a few branches, she got off the tree. Li Jing picked more purple-black mulberries from the tree than on the tree. She used her powers to ripen them, and added a few more mulberries with her powers, specifically to replenish Jiang Xiaoya's body. , all this was done quietly.

Most of the mulberries she picked were wrapped in lotus leaves and put into the basket. Li Jing ate the remaining mulberries and fed them to Jiang Xiaoya. Both of them had mouths full of red juice.

Li Jing would wipe the corners of Jiang Xiaoya's mouth with a leaf from time to time, and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Xiaoya's eyes narrowed with joy as she ate. She didn't say whether it was delicious or not, but she hugged Li Jing and called her "Mother."

"Next time Xiaoya wants to say whether it tastes good or not, we Xiaoya have to learn to speak now. We are smart and we will definitely learn it quickly, right?"

Jiang Xiaoya said ahhhh twice in response, and Li Jing kissed her forehead lovingly.

 “Wait for my mother to take you to find other delicious food!”

Li Jing processed the mulberry branches she broke off with a kitchen knife, leaving the buds that were fuller, and put them into the backpack, then picked up Jiang Xiaoya and set off again.

She planned to use tree branch cuttings to raise seedlings and plant them at home, so that there would be no shortage of fruits to eat.

There is no shortage of seasonal fruits such as jujubes and plums. There is no shortage of various wild fruits in the mountains. Li Jing is happy to eat and pick them.

She also found wild peach and pear trees, but the peach trees were still in flowering stage and the pear trees had just produced fruit.

He had already picked enough fruits, so Li Jing didn't bother to ripen them, but only broke a few branches.

Subsequently, Li Jing listened to the "thumping" noises everywhere and got the idea of ​​​​game in the mountains.

 She wants to eat meat.

When she went up the mountain before dawn, she picked up a lot of pheasants. In fact, the pheasants were still in the nest at that time, but the pheasants needed to hatch chicks, so Li Jing did not do anything. She took a few eggs from each nest and returned them. Some will be left for the female pheasants to hatch.

 In fact, she also planned to catch the hen pheasant and raise it, but the house had not been sorted out yet, so it would be difficult to catch it and raise it, so she had to put it down temporarily.
