Hearing this, Li Xiaobo's expression changed slightly. He quickly turned around and swam upstream where the fish basket was. As he walked, he said," You go back and make lunch first. Leave the bucket here. I'll take a look at the fish basket before taking it back."”
Li Xiaobo's abrupt change of topic made her curious. She thought that he might have thought that he had lost his composure in front of her, so he changed the topic. After giving Li Xiaobo an excuse, Lin Siyan wrung her wet sleeves dry and looked up at the stream. Li Xiaobo's back was no longer in sight. She looked at the bucket and hesitated for a moment before turning around to walk towards the bamboo house.
Lin Siyan actually didn't like Li Xiaobo's beard at all, because that beard and scar made people feel disgusted and very scary. However, he was her husband after all. No matter how ugly he was, she had no right to choose again, so she had always ignored him. Until that moment, she suddenly felt that it would be great if he didn't have that beard. With this thought in mind, she paid more attention to him.
After returning to the bamboo house, she quickly took a cold shower and placed her wet clothes in the wooden basin. She planned to wash them after lunch, and she could also go to the stream to wash her hair. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she had never seen Li Xiaobo wash his hair before. His hair was quite long, but it was always clean. She didn't know how he washed it.
After making lunch, Li Xiaobo came back from the mountain stream with a wooden bucket. Lin Siyan stared at his beard and found that his beard had been tidied, and his hair was wet, as if it had just been washed.
Li Xiaobo felt a little unnatural under her gaze. He put down the bucket and asked," Is the food ready?"”
"It's ready to eat." Lin Siyan quickly scooped the rice and placed it on the table." Are you still going to catch fish in the afternoon?"”
"No need, just leave the fish basket there.”Li Xiaobo held the bowl and ate as he said," It's not a market day these few days. Go to Uncle Liu's house and ask if he's going to town tomorrow. If he's going, I'll bring the fish with me."”
Lin Siyan nodded. There were too few things to store fish in the house. There were only two wooden barrels and not even a water tank. Moreover, she could also build a few chicken pens next to the bamboo house. Although she was not confident in raising pigs, she could raise some chickens, ducks, and geese.
It was almost summer, and everyone had planted what they needed to. There was not much work in the fields. There were more people hunting in the mountains and digging wild vegetables. By then, there would be less prey and they would have to go deeper into the mountains. Although there were more wild animals, the danger would increase. If they encountered wolves, tigers, and leopards, they would have nowhere to hide.
Even if she didn't care about Li Xiaobo, they were still family. If something happened to him, her life wouldn't be easy. Even if it was to reduce the probability of Li Xiaobo encountering danger, she had to quickly read the books in the space and maximize the effect of the spiritual spring.
In the evening, the men and women who had gone out to work came back from the fields one after another. Smoke curled up from the chimneys in the sky above the village, telling the people that it was time for dinner. Lin Siyan spent the whole afternoon reading at home. After finishing the two basic books on agriculture and pharmacy, she went out and walked to the Liu residence.
Uncle Liu and Wang Liang from the village relied on oxcarts to make money. However, Wang Liang was relatively young and had children at home. Other than the days when he would pick up people to go to town, he spent most of his time working in the fields. Uncle Liu was old and did not have much land at home. Other than going to the market and going to the county town once every half a month, it was always right to use the ox cart to look for him. However, it cost one copper coin per person for a trip to the market, and two to four copper coins for a trip to town at other times. It depended on the number of people who went.
A round trip to the county town cost six wens. If there were no special circumstances that required them to go to the county town, they would not go. The main reason was that the county town was not only far away, but the prices of things were similar to those in town. Everyone's daily needs could be met in town, so there was no need to waste money and time going to the county town.
Lin Siyan didn't have any memory of going to the county town. In addition, Li Xiaobo didn't usually go to the county town to save time, so she hadn't visited the county town for so long. In fact, in Lin Siyan's opinion, the people here were unwilling to go to the county town because the fare was too expensive. After all, the county was so big, and things would be cheaper than in town. The so-called 'almost' was nothing more than the fact that everyone was unwilling to waste so much time just to save a few coins. After all, the last few coins were spent on the fare.
When she arrived at Uncle Liu's house, she saw him standing under the big tree at the door and fiddling with the ox cart. Lin Siyan quickly walked forward and greeted him," Uncle Liu, you're back."”
Uncle Liu nodded at her and said while checking the ox cart," Go in and have a seat. Your aunt and sister-in-law are both at home."”
" No," Lin Siyan smiled and refused. Then, she explained her intentions." I'm just here to ask on behalf of my family. Do you have time to go to town tomorrow?"”
Uncle Liu looked up at her with envy and curiosity." You've been going to town a lot recently. Last time, you hunted a wild boar. Did you get something good this time?"”
" It's not that good." Lin Siyan smiled and shook her head." Last time, it was luck that the wild boar fell into the trap." Last time, my boyfriend said that Brother Dazhu would ask him to go hunting when he's free. When will he be free?”
"Guihua hasn't been feeling well recently, so he can't leave.”Uncle Liu didn't want to continue this topic, so he went straight to the point." There are a few people from the village going to town tomorrow. If the b * stard wants to go, just ask him to come at the same time as the market."”
Lin Siyan nodded. After getting the answer she wanted, she chatted with Uncle Liu for a while and was about to go back. Coincidentally, she met an honest young man holding a haggard young woman with a big belly.
When Liu Dazhu saw her, he greeted her with a smile," Siyan, you're here. Why did you come in?"”
"No, it just so happens that I'm going to town tomorrow. I came to ask Uncle Liu if he's going out tomorrow.”Lin Siyan explained. Then, she looked at the haggard Mrs. Tian and asked with concern," Sister-in-law, how many months has it been? Why do you look so haggard?"”
Madam Tian smiled weakly." It's been five months. I don't want to eat anything all day. I just want to lie down and feel that my body is getting more and more tired. Dazhu couldn't stand it anymore and said that he would accompany me for a walk.”
Lin Siyan nodded in agreement." You have to eat more for the child. Otherwise, you'll suffer and the child will suffer." Brother Dazhu's idea was good. It was good to accompany Sister-in-law for a walk outside every day. It was easier to get tired if she stayed at home.”
