Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 670

Chapter 670

Lu Lu returned to Caodianzi on Chasing Wind, and Chen Xiuyu was wandering around the bee farm next to Cuoluozi, checking the entry and exit of bee colonies and whether there were any parasites such as bee mites on the bees.

By the way, he also held Xiao Zhengyang's hand and taught him how to walk.

The little guy has already been able to sit steadily, and he is also very good at climbing on the kang. Judging from the current situation, he will be able to learn to walk in a short time. Now he can hold Chen Xiuyu's finger with one hand and stand upright. Shaking, and trying to use the other hand to pinch the black bees coming in and out of the hive door.

The little guy is full of curiosity about this world, he wants to touch everything without fear, but every time he reaches out his hand, he will always be gently patted away by Chen Xiuyu, which makes the little guy babble.

Seeing Lu Lv come back with big and small bags, Chen Xiuyu immediately greeted her from the bee farm with the child in her arms.

Lu Lu jumped off the horse and took the things down.

"What about Yanzi and the others?"

Seeing no one around, Lu Lu couldn't help asking.This point is almost close to the meal time, and everyone should be there.

"They went to the nearby mountains to cut grass and leaves, and they should be back soon. My meals are almost ready, and when they come back, they will be ready soon... You big bags, what did you buy? "

Chen Xiuyu stared at what Lu Lv was carrying, and asked a little strangely.

"Some Chinese medicine..."

Lu Lu entered the house with the medicine pawn, and the first thing he did was to prepare the medicine in the kitchen.

There is no medicine jar at home, and he can't pay so much attention to it. He directly washed the malt and hawthorn he bought, and then boiled it in an iron pot with water: "This is for you to drink, one bowl at a time, twice a day, when Stop when you don’t feel bloated.”

When weaning, breast swelling is not a small problem, and it is easy to cause inflammation.

Lu Lu was very thoughtful, and Chen Xiuyu nodded obediently with a smile: "Yeah."

"You don't have to wait for me to eat at noon. I met Wu Biao in the district, and he invited me to eat at Tian Youcheng's..."

While talking, Lu Lu took the child over and teased him. He was very satisfied when he heard the little guy called daddy twice: "I'll go to the mountains to find some dried elm bark later."

Elm trees are very common trees in the Great Barren Mountains, and elm mushrooms especially like to grow on the trunks or roots of fallen elm trees.

Stir the corn noodles with elm flowers and steam them in a pot. The water will be cooked as soon as the water blooms. Just fill a stove with firewood. Pickled soup, mixed with rice, becomes an authentic country delicacy, a delicacy in the world - Yuqian Rice.

In the early years, Yuqian rice was a life-saving thing.

Up to now, Yuqian rice is also a well-known local snack in Shanxi, Hebei and other places.

Of course, this is also the best thing for Lu Lu. Although the flowers bloom without honey, they are excellent pollen plants, which play a very good role in the reproduction of bee colonies in early spring.

Now there are two more functions, the bark can be used to make mosquito coils, and the beautiful elm knots can be used to make carving ornaments.

"Then what's left?" Chen Xiuyu flipped through the things wrapped in newspapers.

"Moxa moxa, tangerine peel, and realgar." Lu Lu smiled and said, "Mosquito nets are hung in the bedroom, but not in the living room. I'm going to use these things to make some mosquito coils and see how the effect is. If possible, I will prepare more." Some of them can also be used to repel midges in farms.”

Lu Lv rested for a while, handed the child to Chen Xiuyu, and went out of the meadow with a hunting knife to find dried elm bark, but it didn't take long before he came back.

They are all dry things, so there is no need to dry them in the sun. Lu Lu moved the stone mortar that is usually used to pound garlic and chili noodles at home, and began to pound tangerine peel, elm bark, and realgar.

Both Wang Yan and Ma Jinlan were in Lu Lu's Caodianzi, which became an excellent reason for Chen Xiuqing to come over for dinner.

When he was free, he rode the family's Oroqen horse, and by the way, brought the family's farm horse over, and walked to Lu Lu's place on the spot.

One can tell from his posture that this guy is going to put his horse here, and he won't leave until he has dinner for a whole day.

When he arrived at Caodianzi, he saw Lu Lu pounding charcoal with a stone mortar.

In the pot on the side, realgar, tangerine peel and elm bark all produced a lot of powder.

Beside, Wang Yan and others who came back from cutting grass and leaves in the mountains were also watching silently.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xiuqing asked as soon as she came up.

"You'll know when you make it!"

Several people in the family, every time they came to the yard and saw Lu Lu making troubles, they had to ask them again, and he was a little too lazy to talk.

"Brother Lu is making mosquito coils!" Wang Yan ran to Chen Xiuqing's side obediently and said something to help.

At this moment, Chen Xiuyu went to the gate and shouted, "It's time to eat!"

Several people followed into the house, not forgetting to call Lu Lu.

"Brother Lu has already eaten at the restaurant in the district, don't worry about him!" Chen Xiuyu beckoned several people to enter the room.

Lu Lu was pounding on his own. After the charcoal was pounded into fine flour, he mixed several flours in proportion. After adding water, he kneaded it in the basin as if it was kneading flour. When the mixture was even, he found a Wooden board, and then use a rolling pin to roll this black mud-like thing into a whole sheet.

After a little trimming, compared with wooden strips, the hunting knife was cut into thin strips of similar size, and in the dustpan, taking advantage of the softness, coiled them in circles into the shape of mosquito coils, and then put them in the sun to dry.

The sun is very good today, and the temperature is nearly [-] degrees. I believe it will be available in the evening.

After cleaning the utensils, Chen Xiuqing and the others also finished their meal. He had nothing to do, so he followed Lu Lv to wander around the meadow, looking at the roe deer in the farm, and catching a few fish from the water bubble to feed them. Xianhe, went to the bee farm to check the situation of the bees, and finally went to the section of woods circled on the hillside behind the wood carving.

Lu Lu never took care of this linden woodland after it was planted with the clubs brought back from the mountains. Although it is considered as ginseng under the forest, Lu Lu still insists on a state of wild stocking.

Several times Chen Xiuyu said that she wanted to go in to deal with the weeds, but Lu Lu blocked her.

He doesn't expect these mallets to grow big, all he needs is a vintage.

The seedlings around the mallet in the fence are in good condition. Most of them have become three-branched third-rank leaves, and seven or eight of them have grown into fourth-rank leaves this year. Only one tree was brought back and planted the year before last. It grows into a five-pin leaf.

Of course, there are still quite a few parts in it that haven't sprouted at all this year.

But Lu Lu believes that as long as these fourth-grade leaves and fifth-grade leaves are kept, in another 30 to [-] years, it will be rare to see sticks on the mountain. A mallet with many years can also become a very rare thing.

Not only Chen Xiuqing, but Zhang Shaofeng and others also came to see the linden forest surrounded by him. Seeing that the clubs inside were growing gratifyingly, they all moved before lifting the clubs, and planted some by themselves. idea.

Lu Lu thought about poking alone for a while, but later, he quickly dismissed this idea.

It can be considered that he has experienced a lot of things, several sworn brothers, and getting along for such a long time, he can really feel the true friendship they have for him.

I always think about poking alone and getting more sticks, but it is actually completely unnecessary.

As long as he was looking for the mallet that he brought, several people would give it to him. They never thought about trying to win something from him, only thinking about giving him more.

This is not only because of Lu Lu's contribution in this process, which he deserves, but also because of the friendship between them.

Lu Lu also felt that there was no need for him to become selfish.

Once selfish, the brotherhood will come to the moment of weakening.

He actually likes this kind of brothers helping each other, going straight to each other, without so much hypocrisy, and hopes to keep it like this.

Chen Xiuqing followed Lu Lu around for a while, biting a piece of dog's tail grass boredly, leaning against the cellar for a nap, while Lu Lu continued to lead the child to the meadow to learn to walk after he woke up.

Yuan Bao and his dogs, at times like this, would always flock to the side and flop around, making Xiao Zhengyang giggle from time to time, and they would lick the little guy's hands and faces from time to time.

And once they are caught by the fur of the little guy, they will be unwilling to let go, and they will be peeled off forcibly, which will definitely make him cry non-stop.

Lu Lu was not at all worried that Yuanbao and the others would hurt his child.

You can't use the car any more, the little guy can roll too much, and he will crawl out of it after waking up. Lu Lu specially asked Jin Jiabao for this purpose, and asked him to help find steel bars and marble discs (ball bearings), and help him weld one The upper circle is small and the lower circle is large. The protective cover is sewn with cotton cloth, and the little guy is put inside, allowing him to stagger around in the house and yard.

The marble discs were disassembled from the mine wheels in the mining area. A few pieces of wood and a board can be used to make the pinball discs that boys like most these days. If they have a chance, they will go to the main road and rush down the slope. , Even if it falls on its back, it doesn't care.

There are also people who simply process pinball discs and make them into simple carts to push things.

On the Northeast land, pinball discs already existed in Wafangdian, Liaoning in [-], and the Wafangdian Bearing Factory was built, referred to as Wazhou.

Of course, pachinko is more commonly called in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

With this baby walker, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu can be regarded as somewhat liberated. They don't have to bend over all the time to teach him to walk, and they can have more time to do things.

When the little guy was pushing the baby walker around in the yard, Yuan Bao and the others followed him almost all day long, and sometimes they would sleep next to the baby walker.

In the house, there are three lynxes.

But in front of the lynxes, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were worried that the children would provoke them.

Lynxes have never had the same human nature as Yuanbao and the others. Even if the dogs open their mouths to bite, at most they will bite, and they will not really exert force, but lynxes are different. When a paw goes down, blood can be seen.

Being fine for the time being, Lu Lu simply called Chen Xiuqing, summoned Scallions, and headed to Xiushantun.

Wang Demin was also leisurely, wearing glasses and reading medicine books under the big apricot tree. When he saw Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing coming, he closed the book, took off his glasses and looked at the two: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to find you!"

Lu Lu sat down on the elm tree: "Uncle Wang, this elm tree is yours, right?"

"It's mine. I saw it on the mountain a few years ago. I planned to drag it back to make firewood. It turned out that it was too difficult to chop with an axe. It was full of lumps and twisted wires. I threw it here. There are often old people in the village. , Children come here to enjoy the shade or play, and often sit on it, so they have not moved it."

Wang Demin asked a little strangely: "Why are you asking this?"

"I think the pimples on it are pretty, and I want to take them back and make a display or something," Lu Lu said bluntly.

"What can this thing do, what's so good about it, it's hard work to make firewood, if you want it, just pull it away!" Wang Demin waved his hand, not minding it at all.

"How can I do that? After all, you worked so hard to get it from the mountain. How about it, I'll give you five yuan, and I'll buy it!" Lu Lu directly took out the five yuan he had prepared and stuffed it into Wang Demin's hand. .

"It's just a piece of rotten wood..."

"Put it away... well, someday I will ask Zuo Songling to make a long chair and put it here, so that it is convenient to enjoy the shade!"

Afterwards, Lu Lu looked back at Chen Xiuqing: "Qing Zi, go back and put on the carriage and put it on...I'll talk to Big Brother Zuo first to settle this matter."

Without waiting for Wang Demin to say anything, he set off first and went to Zuo Songling's house.

After making a chair, Lu Lu said hello, and returned soon. When Chen Xiuqing came to the carriage, the three of them worked together to load this piece of elm wood into the cart and sent it to Kong Siren's home in the district.
