Chapter 118 Adaptation

Several girls were chatting while picking mushrooms. Suddenly, Jingxian heard a voice behind her and looked back. She happened to see Wencheng leading a boy over. The boy was probably about the same age as Wenxuan, but his slightly fat cheeks destroyed the look of elegance, leaving only a fleshy feeling, and looked very cute. "Brother, who are you taking?" Jingxian asked Wencheng. Now Wencheng has officially adopted the third room, so Jingxian and Jingwan call me brother, not second brother.

"Mingyu said he wanted to get familiar with the mountain, so I took him over to check it out." Wencheng and Mingyu got along for a while, and felt that the little boy had no airs at all. They smiled when they saw people, which made people feel very comfortable, so they had a good impression of Mingyu. "Mingyu, this is my sister, named Jingxian, one year younger than you. The one next to him is Jinghan, the daughter of the uncle's family, who is two years older than you, you have to call her sister."

Li Mingyu quickly came to Jinghan and bowed to Jinghan, "Mingyu has seen his sister, and Sister Xie saved my elder brother."

Jinghan wanted to ignore him, but the other person gave him a gift as soon as he met, and it was a great gift among his peers. He quickly laughed, "It's not necessary to thank you. I didn't help at all. It was my third uncle and second brother who were very skilled in medical skills, not my credit."

Mingyu looked up at Jinghan, secretly surprised in his heart. It turned out to be such a girl. No wonder the eldest brother has been obsessed with. The woman in front of him is not considered stunning? But there is a kind of bright and shiny like the sun, which is more distinctive than those gentle ladies of the family.

Jinghan lowered her head and continued to pick mushrooms. Mingyu was also very interested in these things, so she finished her sleeves? She wanted to help.

"You'd better go up there? Don't be too bad at this." Jingxian saw Li Mingyu's clumsy look and couldn't help but speak. "Picking mushrooms like you? What's left is too big, it will rot and then get infected with bacteria."

Mingyu looked at Jingxian. Jingxian took a knife in her hand, peeled it down where Mingyu picked the mushrooms, and removed the remaining white thing on it. "When picking mushrooms, there can't be any residue? They can't pick them too hard. They hurt the mycelium inside. Otherwise, it will affect the next time that the mushrooms appear."

Mingyu nodded? "I understand, thank you sister Jingxian."

Jingxian handed the knife she used to Mingyu? "Then? Use it for you. Be careful? Don't hurt your hands." Jingxian took another knife from Honglian's hand, and then continued to pick mushrooms down.

Mingyu kept watching Jingxian's movements. He looked very carefully, and then picked mushrooms down as Jingxian looked. Sure enough, after a few times, he became quite good. Jingxian looked back and couldn't help but praise her. "It's not bad, you learn things very quickly? This job is not difficult, just be careful. It's really strange that you, the eldest young master, can come and work with us."

Mingyu ignored the mockery in Jingxian's tone and smiled silly, "When I came, my brother said, let me experience the hard work of the farmer, so as to avoid becoming a waste who is not diligent and has no grains in the future. Haha, I think this job is okay, it's quite interesting. Will you call me whatever you do in the future? I'm either here to enjoy the happiness or take refuge."

When Jinghan heard that he was taking refuge, he felt uncomfortable. When Li Mingrui was rescued that day, the injury was severe enough, and now this little fat man came to the Xu family to take refuge. Although he didn't know whether the Li family was a kind of family, it was inevitable that the family background was prominent. Looking at this way, I'm afraid that those who hurt their brothers would not be able to escape from the Li family, and they might be their brothers. Otherwise, why would he send a thirteen-year-old child to a farmhouse where he had only met one time? It must be that the people who hurt them were very familiar with their relatives and had no other place to go.

"You can follow me in the future. My two younger brothers are studying in the town, and no one helps me with work. If you want to experience the life of a farmer, I will let you know after following me." Jinghan couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, I'll listen to my sister." When the fat man Mingyu, the little fat man, happily agreed when he heard Jinghan say this. When the fat man smiled, there would be deep dimples on his cheeks, which would be so cute no matter how he looked.

When Wencheng saw that Mingyu and Jinghan were getting along well, he left Mingyu here and helped pinch ginseng seeds. "Jinghan, please take Mingyu with you, don't bully him, I'll help pinch ginseng seeds. We'll go to the riverside to wash ginseng seeds together, and we can catch some fish or citrus or something."

Jinghan took Mingyu and these girls together. Everyone picked mushrooms and fungus there. They picked a basket full of them, and asked the fat man to carry it to the open space in the distance, where there was a mat and poured it on and dry it.

Li Mingyu, the little fat man, said nothing, and did whatever you asked him to do. He poured fungus and mushrooms back and forth over there, and he became so tired that he sweated.

Jinghan looked back at Mingyu's appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Mingyu, don't be so anxious. Let's just go there together later. Let's take a break." This child has never done any work at home, so don't be exhausted all of a sudden.

After hearing this, Mingyu quickly found a cooler place to sit down, took out a veil to wipe his sweat. Just as Jinghan and the others stopped, everyone found a place to sit and rest. Honglian brought a kettle and a bowl, and each of them poured a bowl of cold boiled water, "Mr. Li, you drink some water too." Honglian handed the water to Mingyu.

"Thank you sister." Mingyu was not polite, and took the bowl and drank it in one go. Only then did he feel more comfortable. "Sister Jinghan, do you have to work in this big sun every day?" Mingyu felt that it turned out that farmers were really working hard.

"Yes, otherwise would I be so tanned?" Jinghan said jokingly.

"Why don't my sister wear a hat? Wouldn't it be able to block the sunlight?" Mingyu asked.

Jinghan smiled, "It's so troublesome. There are branches everywhere in the forest, and if you don't do it, you'll get it off. How can the farm girl be so particular?"

Everyone sat down and talked for a while, and then continued to work. Jinghan was afraid that the fat man would be tired, so he always let him rest after working for a while.

In the morning, everyone picked all the mushrooms and fungus that they should pick, and Mingyu also put them on the side and dried them. When Jinghan saw that they were almost done, she led everyone back to rest.

Just as Xue and the others had prepared all the meals, they asked everyone to wash their hands and eat. At this time, it was still very hot at noon, so the tables were placed in the shed outside. The shed was covered with wooden boards and grass, and there were only a few pillars around it. This way, eating in a cool place would make it feel better.

I ate rice with big rice at noon, which means I cooked the dry rice with big rice and used cold water to taste cool and refreshing. Northerners like to eat this in summer. Jinghan thinks this is not healthy, but everyone eats it like this, and I haven't seen anyone have anything to do. I follow the local customs and gradually got used to it.

At this time, the dishes are beans, eggplant, etc. A pot of stewed beans on the table, with a lot of meat in it, and the other one is steamed eggplant, with egg sauce steamed with eggs and soy sauce next to it. Xue's steamed egg sauce is very good. The steamed egg sauce is very tender, and some chopped chili grains are also placed on it. This way, it is very delicious when dipped in eggplant with egg sauce.

Xue was afraid that Li Mingyu might not be able to adapt to it, so she specially left some dry rice and put it in front of Mingyu. "You may not have eaten our big rice, come and try it. I will cook some rice for you tonight, so I will just have it for a meal." The big rice was soaked in the morning and cannot be changed temporarily. In addition, the weather was too hot, so Xue was unwilling to burn more fires, so this rice was the only one at noon.

Mingyu picked up the bowl and scooped the rice directly into his mouth, "It sounds delicious, my aunt doesn't have to cook for me alone, I can get used to it. I'm not here to enjoy it, so I don't have to bother me." As he said, he picked up some beans with chopsticks, "Well, this dish is not good, it's still fresh from my own home, so it's good to eat it." The little fat man ate the beans, then learned from everyone's behavior, picked up an eggplant, dipped it in some egg sauce, and put it in his mouth. "Yeah, it's delicious."

Jinghan understood that this little fat man was relaxing everyone's heart. His family background was not ordinary at first glance. He was not a gift from childhood to adulthood. Unexpectedly, when he came here, he could swallow the food from the farm. Just like this, Jinghan's view of him changed a lot. When he came here, he was a little ill-adapted to these foods. Although his conditions are better now, it is difficult for a child who has never eaten them since childhood.

"Mingyu, if you can't eat it, don't eat it. I'll roll out noodles for you in the afternoon. There is nothing else in our house, and white noodles can still be afforded." Jinghan was afraid that the child would be injured.

"It's okay, sister, I can eat it. Everyone is the same, I'm not that delicate." Mingyu held the bowl and ate it very fragrantly, and kept picking up the eggplant dipping sauce. "To be honest, I have never seen anyone eat eggplant like this, it's delicious."

"Okay, then let's go to catch citrus in the afternoon and make citrus tofu for you to eat. We also take citrus and fish with you." There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Jinghan decided to take them to the riverside to play.

"Is there a river here? Can you catch fish? Cicada, what is that?" Mingyu couldn't understand what Jinghan was talking about, so he asked quickly.

"It's not a river, it's a big river. There are many kinds of fish in this river. When you get up early tomorrow morning, we will take you to see it. Cicada is a delicious food that can be made into Cicada tofu or can be eaten after staying. You will know when the time comes." Jingxian said with a proud look on her face.
