Chapter 184 Is This My Biological Mother?
All Han Li did today was open the door, chat, drink tea, tease Yun Yingying, play chess, and give the two uncles a few injections to relieve the symptoms of sore joints and muscles. When everyone left in the evening, Han Li I immediately closed the door and went home to prepare for dinner.
When Han Li returned to the room, he found that He Mi and Qi Zhaodi had arrived. Several people were sitting next to Qi Xiaomei. Moreover, the little sister's eyes were red and her eyeballs were slightly bulging, as if she had cried.
"Little sister Qi, what's wrong with you?"
He Mi: "When the postman delivered the letter today, didn't he have a letter from Qi Xiaomei? That was sent by her mother."
Of course Han Li knew that Qi Zhaodi was receiving the letter today, but he never inquired about such personal matters. But now Han Li frowned when he heard that the letter was from Qi Xiaomei's mother.
Everyone knows the situation of Qi Xiaomei's family. Her father passed away when she was very young. In order to remarry better, her mother abandoned her to her grandma's house in the countryside.
From the time she was sensible, she had to step on the bench to wash pots, cook, wash clothes, clean the house, and carry pig grass on her back to earn work points.
Even though Qi Xiaomei takes on all the household chores, as a half-orphan she rarely has enough to eat.
More than ten years later, the biological daughter of the reorganized family faced the situation of going to the countryside. Only then did Qi Zhaodi be taken back to Chengdu, and her household registration was recorded under the reorganized family.
He prepared two pairs of altered clothes for her, a thin quilt, and 10 yuan, and sent her to the countryside instead of her half-sister, and then he never cared about her life or death again.
For such a biological mother, the sudden letter she received now was definitely full of malice, otherwise Qi Zhaodi wouldn't be crying like this.
Han Li thought of the time when Qi Zhaodi first came to Shanghe Village, and immediately felt sad.
"What did her mother write in the letter? Why did she make Qi Xiaomei's eyes swollen from crying?"
He Mi said angrily: "Qi Xiaomei's half-sister did not go to the countryside. If she does not go to the countryside at the designated time, she will be pulled out as a model by the local area, and her family will lose their jobs.
When their biological daughter had no choice but to go to the countryside, their family thought of Qi Xiaomei again. This letter said that they had some activities at home and asked the two sisters to go to the countryside in one place. This time Qi Xiaomei's mother would follow them. stand up.
She also said that their family had spent all their money because of this incident, and they did not bring food when they came here because it was too far away. Her mother meant to ask Qi Xiaomei to help her sister find a way to prepare food, and she would also help her sister in the future. She must not be tired from working, otherwise her mother will find a local family for Qi Xiaomei to marry off. "
Yun Yingying said angrily at the side: "Who are these people? They have never cared about Qi Xiaomei since she was a child. When she grew up, they used her as a disaster. Now, they actually want Qi Xiaomei to be treated like a cow or a horse. If she doesn't obey, she will be punished." Want to help find someone to marry? I think selling is the real deal."
"Little sister,..."
Han Li: "Haha, is that daughter of hers a giant baby? Or is she a young lady from the ZB family? She has to be taken care of by others.
Let me put it bluntly, any family in Shanghe Village that can build a yard by itself in the countryside is better than hers. There is no one who was not raised in a pampered manner. It is okay to complain occasionally, but who would show off to the point of letting others take care of them? ? It's true that ugly people often cause mischief.
Qi Xiaomei is here and they can't do anything to you as long as you don't want to. If you mess up, we will definitely not let you suffer, and maybe we can add two more workers to the border farm. "
Qi Zhaodi said with tears in her eyes: "I believe in Brother Han."
Yun Jingjing: "According to this situation, there will be new educated youth coming to Shanghe Village? Did the letter say when it will be?"
Qi Zhaodi: "It should be these days, the specific date was not mentioned in the letter."
Yun Jingjing thought for a while and said: "Since Qi Xiaomei's sister will definitely come, then we can't be passive about this matter. We must first leave an impression in the hearts of the villagers. It is absolutely right to leave this matter to Yang Xiuying. Little sister, you go Invite them to come and have dinner together.”
Yun Yingying nodded and got up and went outside. He Mi smiled and said after hearing this.
"Nowadays, sisters-in-law and aunts like to go to the clinic to chat. It is much easier to spread the word. If anyone has time, you can go to the clinic to add firewood. The brighter the fire, the better."
After a while, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were called over by Yun Yingying, and they were talking about this while cooking.
There were three women in a drama, and six women in a drama. Han Li saw that he couldn't get a word in, so he smiled and went back to his room to read.
After everyone finished dinner, Yang Xiuying took her to their house to play. Han Li grabbed Yun Yingying in time and said.
"I plan to go to the mountains early tomorrow morning. Remember to open the door for me at the health room. If anyone asks, just tell me that I went to the mountains to find some medicinal plants."
"Brother Li, isn't it too cold to go into the mountains at this time? I don't want to raise little squirrels anymore."
"I'm not afraid of the cold in my wolfskin clothes. If you encounter squirrels, I will help you catch them. This time I want to clean up the secret base. When we have the chance, we will go there to spend two days at sunrise." A world of two people who hunt, fish, and go home to sleep at sunset.”
So Yun Yingying did not go to Yang Xiuying's house to play, but stayed to prepare food for Han Li to go into the mountain.
In order to go into the mountains tomorrow, Han Li carefully practiced the accuracy of his marksmanship.
*
Early the next morning, Han Li got up, put away his crossbow, packed up the things he needed to bring, and opened the door.
The wind was still howling outside. Han Li tightened his clothes, put the sparrow in his backpack, and set off.
Han Li's first stop was the secret base. Even though this road was very familiar to him, he felt a little strange at this moment.
Many gullies and ravines along the way were filled with snow blown by the wind, forming hidden snow nests.
People who are not familiar with the terrain can easily fall into it. It is easy to deal with shallow snow nests. Without companions, you can slowly climb out.
If you encounter a large snow nest, once you fall into it, the snow around you will collapse and cover you inside. Even if you have teammates around you, unless the other party is always watching you, they can't figure out where you fell, and there is no way to rescue you.
Snow nests are nothing. The most difficult thing is that the heavy snow hides the original route. If you are not careful, you will not be able to find the way out. In this environment, if you get lost, you will basically be dead. Therefore, even locals rarely enter the deep mountains and forests after the snow falls to a certain extent.
However, the snow at this time is not heavy. The snow in the covered ravines and crevices is blown from other places by the wind.
Han Li only needs to avoid those places, but other places are not easy to walk. If Han Li's chassis is not solid, he would not know how many times he would fall along the way.
Stumbling all the way to the secret base, Han Li carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then pushed open the camouflage door and walked in. After entering, he closed the door and lit the fire first.
The cave built by Han Li is well sealed, and the surrounding environment is very good, so there is almost no dust in the cave.
Han Li took out two complete tanned moose skins from the decomposition space and put them on the kang.
One can be used as a mattress, and the other can be used as a quilt. Finally, Han Li thought about it and took out a moose skin and several wolf skins for backup.
Han Li took out some moose meat and wild boar meat and hung them in the cave, and then checked other places in the cave.
After everything was fine, Han Li sat on the warm kang to fill his stomach and casually recalled where it would be easier to pick up pine nuts.
But Han Li thought about it and only the hole in the valley he went to last time was suitable, because there were many hazelnut trees, red pines, and hickory trees there, so it would be much easier and faster to pick up nuts by himself.
After Han Li made up his mind, he walked out of the cave, released the sparrow in the backpack to lead the way in the air, and walked towards the valley without stopping.
In this situation, it was impossible to run. It was already amazing that Han Li could walk quickly.
Han Li walked on this familiar and unfamiliar road. He had to keep his mental strength on the way to pay attention to the snow nest.
Maybe it was because of the excessive mental tension. When he reached the edge of the valley, even with Han Li's physical fitness, he was a little out of breath.
After taking two deep breaths, Han Li began to tie the rope and prepared to go into the valley.
Before Han Li slid to the bottom of the valley, he could already feel the temperature rising here. The whistling cold wind outside was blocked by the peaks on both sides.
Han Li's purpose this time was very clear, pine nuts, nuts, squirrels, and as for other wild animals, he would add some reserve meat to himself if he encountered them, and he would not deliberately look for them if he did not encounter them.
The ripe pine nuts and other nuts that fell on the snow were nowhere to be found under Han Li's mental power. During this period, Han Li still found the footprints of the wild boars, but he just let the sparrows be on guard around and did not intend to trouble them for the time being.
Maybe it has something to do with getting something for nothing. This behavior of picking nuts from the ground makes Han Li a little addicted.
The number of nuts in the decomposition space is rising in a straight line, and Han Li unknowingly walked a long way following the tree line, and stopped at the edge of the forest.
However, Han Li immediately felt that he was lucky again, because there was a group of wild goats eating in the bushes not far ahead.
The coldest days of winter are coming soon. It is so nice to sit on the kang and drink a bowl of mutton soup or cook mutton in a pot.
Just as Han Li chose a position and quietly moved towards the sheep, his clinic was bustling with people doing needlework while listening to Yang Xiuying telling the story of Qi Zhaodi.
