She didn't know much about wild fruits that ripened in May and June, but there were a lot of wild vegetables.
Whether it was the mountain in her previous life or the mountain in this life, the most familiar and intimate thing to Lin Siyan was everything in the mountain. She was especially glad that she had grown up in the mountains in her previous life. At least in her second life, she could still rely on her memories to survive.
Although she didn't get to eat the wild fruit in her memory right away, she wasn't disappointed. When she rested by the water, she picked a handful of wild cress and carried the bamboo basket home. She believed that this mountain would bring her all kinds of surprises. As long as she was willing to look for it, those memories would appear in front of her sooner or later. And with the gift from the mountain, she was able to bring Li Xiaobo out of poverty and into a comfortable life, which suddenly made her feel much more real.
When Lin Siyan returned home, it was around one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Although she had been here for half a month, she still didn't know how to calculate the time here. She could only rely on the weather and whether she was hungry or not.
By the time they got home, Li Xiaobo had already prepared dinner. She washed her hands and sat down at the table. She looked at the dishes on the table. There was a leftover mushroom from the morning and a stir-fried preserved meat with fern. They looked good and she was a little happy.
This was the first time she had eaten Li Xiaobo's cooking. Because washing clothes and cooking was a woman's job here, it was rare to meet someone who took the initiative to go to the kitchen. Unless there was no woman at home or they were forced to do so, few men would go to the kitchen. After all, a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen.
After dinner, Lin Siyan took out the charcoal mushrooms she had brought back, cleaned them, and placed them in a dustpan to dry. However, there were only three dustpans, including the ones Li Xiaobo had made. She had only used one to dry the bitter bamboo shoots, and Tan Gu had used both. This indirectly caused the house to have nothing else to store and wash the vegetables. Not enough, not enough at all. This was her true thoughts. In the past, he could just buy a few. But now, he couldn't. He had no money and no time.
" I have to build a rack for drying things, I have to make a dustpan, and I have to give my brother a gift for his wedding. I also have to help..." Lin Siyan talked about the next plan, and the more she talked about it, the more worried she became." It's almost June, and I still have to open up some wasteland to grow beans and wheat. Glutinous rice is also fine.”
Li Xiaobo stopped eating and put down his bowl. He looked at her and said," I'll take care of the dustpan and shelves as soon as possible. As for the land clearing, do you really want to rely on the two of us to clear it?"”
Lin Siyan was puzzled." Do I need to find someone to show proof or go to the yamen to register before I can clear the land?”
Li Xiaobo shook his head." Not really. There are many wild things around here. If you open up the wasteland, these things will be eaten by wild things before they mature. It's not worth it." Moreover, there are many snakes in the grass during this season. Although we don't have much land and there isn't a busy farming season, it's indeed not suitable to open up wasteland at this time.”
Lin Siyan was stunned. She then remembered that in her previous life, most of the time when she went to open up wasteland was in winter. At that time, people didn't have much to do and the crops were almost harvested.
" I was too impatient," Lin Siyan said embarrassedly." I always wanted to find a way out and earn some money." I was possessed for a moment."
Li Xiaobo looked at her for a long time before finishing the rice in his bowl. He put down the bowl and said,"I'll let you live a good life."”
Lin Siyan was stunned, her eyes slightly moist. She was actually moved by such simple words.
After Li Xiaobo set up a rack at the door and made four or five dustpans of different sizes, Lin Sixing's wedding day arrived. As close relatives, Lin Siyan and her husband were dragged to help.
The womenfolk were responsible for washing the dishes, making all kinds of side dishes, and receiving the womenfolk. The men were responsible for the main dishes of the banquet, receiving guests at the same time, and welcoming the bride with the groom. Everyone had their own duties and carried out the various tasks of the wedding in an orderly manner. Lin Siyan was dragged to receive the family of Lin Sixing's daughter-in-law, Madam Song, with the Cui family.
Fortunately, Madam Qian was still in good health. The matters of receiving Madam Song's family were left to Madam Qian and Madam Cui. She was only in charge of helping out and pouring tea. Other than exchanging a few pleasantries with the person when she was introduced, there was almost no need for her to say anything.
Because of the distance, Lin Sixing didn't go to the town to pick up the bride. Instead, the bridesmaid was the messenger and went by name. After the bridesmaid ate the wedding wine at the bride's house at noon, she returned with the bride. After the people who were waiting for the sedan chair came back and reported that the sedan chair had entered the village entrance, the musicians immediately began to play music and set off firecrackers to welcome the sedan chair.
After the bridal sedan chair stopped, a five or six-year-old child welcomed the bride out of the sedan chair. After stepping over a vermilion wooden saddle, the bridal maid supported the bride to the right side of the wedding hall. When the groom stood on the left side with the other end of the red flower, the wedding ceremony began. What followed was the common thing of 'bowing to heaven and earth, and bowing to the high hall'.
Because Lin Siyan was in a daze the entire time she got married, she didn't feel much about the fact that she was already married. On the contrary, after watching Lin Sixing's marriage process as a bystander, she had a real feeling and realized that she had also gone through this process to marry Li Xiaobo.
She stood there in a daze for a while. Seeing that the festive atmosphere had infected everyone, even Lin Yu, who rarely smiled, was smiling at this moment. She could not help but feel happy.
After the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, the guests began to sit according to the arranged seats. Then, the men began to pour wine for the groom. Other than busy cooking and dealing with sudden problems, the womenfolk could sit down and eat with peace of mind.
The dinner lasted from three or four in the afternoon to five or six in the afternoon. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, those who were far away from home had already said goodbye in advance, while those who were closer stayed behind. As for the helpers in the village, they began to get busy again. They cleaned up the tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks, then washed the dishes. When everything was done, they brought back the things they had borrowed from their families.
After a busy day, when Lin Siyan returned to the bamboo house, she was so tired that she didn't even want to move a finger. The only regret was that she didn't get to see what her new wife looked like. On second thought, Lin Sixing wouldn't go to town with his wife even if he got married. She would see what her new wife looked like sooner or later.
She was just curious about what the other party looked like before she dared to shout out the betrothal gift of fifty taels. Not only did Lin Sixing not back down, but he became more and more brave as the battle progressed. She thought that if this new sister-in-law was not beautiful, she must be intelligent.
When Li Xiaobo returned, Lin Siyan had already woken up. Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on his body, she got up helplessly and fetched him a basin of water. Seeing that Li Xiaobo looked drunk under the oil lamp, she couldn't help but ask," I didn't see you drunk on the day we got married. Why did you drink so much today?"”
