Chapter 136 Xue Yunyan, why are you following me?
Chapter 136 Xue Yunyan, why are you following me?
Xu Yu actually always thought that Jiang Yi just did farm work at home and went hunting for wild game when he had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, he not only took care of all the farm work at home and outside, but also found time to read books and newspapers, and then continued to write and draw in a notebook.
In addition to these, he would also take time every day to visit the people living in the cow sheds in several nearby villages.
The only way Xu Yu knew about this was because he took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to go.
The original owner had this hobby, and Xu Yu also had a sense of respect for these people living in the cowshed, so he definitely agreed.
Then Xu Yu discovered that Jiang Yi would always carry a basket with him when he went out, with food at the bottom and some pig grass or something deliberately placed on top.
Xu Yu could guess his intention. After all, due to the general environment, the villagers were wary of them. In the past few years, they were even more jealous of them and would throw mud and feces at them when they saw them. Jiang Yi did this to protect those people as well as himself.
In the past two years, the villagers are not so hostile towards these talents, but they are basically not well fed and clothed, and they certainly don't want these relocated people to have more food and better food than them.
Xu Yu asked, "Brother Yi, why are you so nice to these people? Aren't you afraid?"
He must have been doing this for more than a year or two. Before, the original owner liked to go to the bullpen, but he only dared to go there secretly, let alone give them food.
"Don't be afraid. I've always known they aren't the bad guys everyone claims they are. Losing them is our loss. I want to do my best to keep them alive."
Xu Yu looked at the hard lines of his profile and felt inexplicably moved. She simply reached out and held his hand.
The next moment, the big hand held the small hand.
Xu Yu asked him again: "If you take me with you, aren't you afraid that we will be exposed?"
Jiang Yi: "We are not afraid now. The higher-ups are already discussing bringing them back. We can protect them openly."
Xu Yu raised the corners of his lips, hummed, and said, "I will protect them with you."
Jiang Yi tilted his head to look at him, the sunlight hitting his face with a hard halo: "Yeah."
Jiang Yi not only brought food to these people, but also talked to them about the areas of knowledge they were good at. Xu Yu finally understood why Brother Yi had so many books. He not only talked to them, but also wrote them down.
Xu Yu didn't understand most of what she said, but she could still help them. She would carry her cloth bag when she went out. Seeing that these people were seriously ill, she would treat them, prescribe medicine, and also give them acupuncture and cupping.
A few days passed, and Xu Yu missed her family. That night, after a burst of exercise, Xu Yu lay on Jiang Yi's chest and said to him, "Tomorrow I want to go back to Red Star Village."
Jiang Yi hummed and said, "I'll get up early in the morning and go to the mountains to catch some game and bring it over when the time comes."
Xu Yu reached out and stroked his abdominal muscles, and asked, "It's cold now, so it's hard to catch game, right?"
"Well, it's getting cold, and it's snowing in the mountains. The animals are basically hibernating... I'm going to the edge of the mountains tomorrow to take a look, but I'll be back late."
"Okay, I'll make you some medicine in the morning and you can take it with you."
"Ah."
"Are you taking Jingle with you?"
"Ah."
"Then Mom and I will stay home and take care of the tiger cub."
"Okay." Jiang Yi stroked her back and said, "Go to sleep."
……
The next day, Jiang Yi set out very early. Xu Yu got up and got him some medicine before going back to bed for a nap.
When she woke up, Jiang Qingyun had already gone out to work, and Yang Wenhui was sitting in the main room mending shoe soles. On her legs was a cotton mat made of floral cloth, with an old cotton-padded jacket draped over it, and inside was a tiger baby sleeping. The tiger baby was sleeping soundly, with only half of its head showing, looking very cute.
Xu Yu first greeted Yang Wenhui, then walked over to her, squatted down and tapped the tiger cub's nose with his finger.
The tiger cub actually protested by making baby whimpering sounds.
Xu Yu was touched by the cuteness and said with a smile, "Baby Tiger is so warm."
"Isn't it? I put it on my legs and they are warm without any need for fire."
Yang Wenhui told her: "The hot water and breakfast are on the stove. Wash up and then eat."
Xu Yu nodded, washed up, and after eating, he said to Yang Wenhui, "Mom, I'm going to go cut some grass for the sheep."
Yang Wenhui said quickly, "I'll go. You hold the tiger cub and it can serve as a warm stove."
"No, I want to go out for a walk."
After Xu Yu finished speaking, he took the backpack and sickle and went out.
……
the other side.
Xu family.
Xu Jianhua felt like he hadn't seen his sister for a long time and missed her so much that he said to Zhang Hongmei early in the morning, "Mom, I want to go to my sister's house after school."
Zhang Hongmei actually missed her daughter too, so she said, "Then I'll make some lard cakes for you to take over. Your sister loves them. When I get there, tell your brother-in-law that you don't need to be sent off. Your father and I will pick you up in the evening."
Xu Jianhua immediately grinned and nodded.
Zhang Hongmei fried some lard cakes and put them in an iron lunch box, and then packed Xu Jianhua's lunch.
While eating breakfast, Xu Jianping asked, "Mom, I smell the aroma of lard cakes. Why don't you take them out and eat them?"
Zhang Hongmei scolded with a smile: "You have the best nose."
Xu Jianhua immediately replied, "My mother made the lard cake for my sister."
Xu Jianping knew it immediately: "Are you going to your sister's house today?"
"Yeah."
Xu Jianping also wanted to go, but he was reinforcing the pigpen fence these days. After all, the weather was getting colder, and he was afraid that a heavy snow would collapse the fence and the pigs would run out, which would be troublesome.
He thought for a moment and said, "Go ask your brother-in-law and sister when they are free and ask them to come over to play. By the way, ask your brother-in-law to come over and help me reinforce the pigpen fence."
Zhang Hongmei said to him, "You only care about getting Xiao Jiang to come over to do the work. If I were him, I wouldn't even want to come."
Xu Jianping grinned, "I feel like Jiang Yi knows everything. Even if he doesn't help, he can just stand by and direct us."
After saying that, he added seriously, "I miss my sister the most. I want her to come back and play. When the time comes, I will definitely ask someone in town to bring her some food in advance."
Zhang Hongmei didn't believe what he said. She glanced at him and continued eating.
……
Xu Yu and Jiang Yi agreed to go to Xu's house today, but Jiang Yi just brought back a sheep from the mountains at noon. He had just killed it and had no time to process it when someone came to call him and said that someone called him and asked him to go to the town to answer the call.
Xu Yu thought that if she and her mother were to take care of the sheep, it would definitely take until evening.
Jiang Yi went to the town and came back to clean up, and it would take until evening.
She said to Jiang Yi, "Let's go tomorrow. You can do your work today."
Jiang Yi nodded and rode his bike to town.
Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui slowly prepared the mutton.
Neither of them was good at this, so they just stopped and rested when they were tired.
Yang Wenhui said, "I'd better go call your dad back and let him do it. I can't do it anymore."
Xu Yu also said: "Then I'll go prepare some ingredients for the mutton soup."
Yang Wenhui: "Okay, I'll go get some more radishes later."
Xu Yu wanted to eat something different, so he said, "Mom, mutton and yam soup would be nice too. I'll go to the mountain and dig some yam."
"Don't go. I'll call your dad and he and I will go dig."
"It's okay, I'll go over first, and you guys can come and look for yams with me later."
"That's fine, but you don't know the way. Once you go up the mountain, take the main road. Don't go too far. We'll come find you then."
"it is good."
After the two of them discussed it, Yang Wenhui went to find Jiang Qingyun.
Xu Yu carried a backpack and a hoe and went out.
Although it was Xu Yu's first time to climb the mountain here, there was a path trampled by everyone, and the nearby mountains that could be reclaimed had all been reclaimed, so she didn't need to find a way after she got up the mountain.
The weather has gotten colder, and wheat and rapeseed are planted on the mountain. Even though everyone is still busy working in the fields, few people come to the mountain.
After walking for a while, Xu Yu felt someone following him.
She quickly turned her head and saw a figure flash by.
Xu Yu sneered and quickly quickened his pace up the mountain.
When she entered the mountain and was surrounded by rocks and trees, she headed straight for an area with piles of rocks and dense thorn bushes.
The people following her soon caught up.
As she passed the pile of rocks and the thorn bush, before she had time to look around, a stick suddenly hit her lower back. She shuddered in fear, and Xu Yu's cold voice came from behind her: "Xue Yunyan, why are you following me?"
