1987 My Era

Chapter 8, Mountains and Rivers Sometimes

"Second sister, you must be thirsty. Come, have a glass of water."

As soon as he entered the house, Li Heng happily moved a small stool to his second sister.

He also thoughtfully poured me a cup of warm water.

Look at how happy he is, he looks just like a lackey.

Seeing this scene, Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e couldn't help but look at each other, a little confused.

Where has the aloof Manzai gone?

Why are you still actively trying to curry favor with Erbao?

This is really the first time this has happened, it's very strange.

In the past, there was only ice but no fire between the two siblings. Li Lan was not used to such a passionate brother and felt uncomfortable.

She was not afraid of swords or spears, but she was afraid that her brother would suddenly change his nature and not play by the rules.

But for a moment she couldn't bring herself to smile. She just glanced at him calmly, took the water, and then sat on the doorstep with a big sword and a golden horse.

In response to his second daughter's hot temper today, Li Jianguo, who is a gentle man at heart, wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

But I swallowed the words back several times when they came to my lips. I didn’t know how to say it.
In this poor countryside where people are used to fighting and cursing and using force to resolve disputes, as a father, he cannot protect his children well; as a husband, he cannot earn money to support his family; as an intellectual, he cannot change his fate with his knowledge; as a farmer, he does not have the corresponding labor capacity...

Therefore, he felt very guilty and often felt that since he suffered from spinal disease, he was like a disabled person and a burden to the family.

The second daughter's strong external stance protected the dignity of the Li family in a timely manner, preventing her and her mother from being bullied.

In his heart, he was somewhat grateful to Erbao. Li Lan's protection of him made up for his inaction to a certain extent.

But as a father, he also has concerns. Erbao has such a strong personality, and his future husband's family will probably have a hard time.

It is said that a harmonious family brings prosperity. If one of the spouses is too harsh, it can easily lead to emotional discord and be detrimental to family unity.

After living together for so many years, Tian Run'e saw through her husband's mind at a glance and immediately sent Li Jianguo away:
"Go to the Chen family and help them. They can't do without you."

"Eh."

Li Jianguo didn't have the heart to speak out his anxiety, so he crossed the road and went to Chen's house.

After resting for a while, Li Lan went back to collecting grass for the pigs.

Li Heng thought about it, found a hatchet from the stove, put it on his belt, and went into the back mountain.

My old father is unable to do heavy work, so strenuous tasks such as chopping wood usually fall on my mother.

In the past, he was ignorant and his mother favored him, so he was always sneaky and cunning. In a year, he did not even a fraction of the work his second sister did.

Now that he is reborn, he always wants to share some of the burden for the family.

Shangwan Village is located on the mountainside of the Xuefeng Mountains, surrounded by rolling mountains, majestic and mysterious.

It is said that you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.

Everyone is poor these days, and few are willing to burn coal. As for electricity, as far as I remember, it will not be available until next year, let alone.

Going up the mountain to chop wood is a traditional skill passed down from generation to generation, and men, women, young and old all know how to do it to some extent.

Although Li Heng was doted on since childhood, he would go into the mountains dozens of times a year and was very familiar with the hills within five miles. For example, where is the mountain spring water, which hill can pick wild kiwis, where can I dig kudzu roots, which cemetery is suitable for having an affair, etc. He really knows everything.

Oh! By the way, I must clarify that he didn’t know anything about the affair in the cemetery, but he caught it when he was a child.

Ouch, those two guys were having a great time at that time. Li Heng hid behind a pine tree and suddenly raised his head and shouted "Oh wow!" The sound was so loud that the couple was so scared that they didn't even have time to put on their pants. They were so scared that they turned around and ran away in a hurry.

When it comes to gender, people are particularly prone to falling into misconceptions, always thinking that people in this era were simple and honest, and their thinking was conservative.

In fact, it is not the case. It is generally conservative and partially open.

To put it in simpler terms: both the ignorant and the knowledgeable are more conservative; only those who are half-informed are more open-minded.

Otherwise, why are there so many illegitimate children in this era?
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about a group in the production team. A woman gave birth to 6 sons. Except for the eldest and second sons who looked like their father, the other four could find men who looked very similar in this village or in neighboring villages. Who the hell can they go to for justice?
The reason is that there are too few entertainment activities these days, and in addition, in the past few years of reform and opening up, many things that have challenged people's world views have been introduced. Things in bed are talked about with relish, and there are always people who can't hold back and take risks.

Old Li's family is lucky. When the mountain was divided a few years ago, they drew the best lot and got the back mountain which is nearby and has many trees. The villagers were very envious of them.

Hey! They made up their minds and secretly carried the firewood from the back mountain back home.

We don’t dare cut down economic trees because it will make too much noise. There are so many people living nearby and we will be easily discovered.

Li Heng had not walked 150 meters into the mountain when he encountered a wild rabbit. It was brown-gray in color, with big breasts and a wide buttocks. It must have weighed at least 4 kilograms.

In fact, it is common to encounter pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. After all, this is the famous Snow Peak Mountain on the map. It is nothing strange.

But the annoying thing is that this rabbit seems to look down on people. Even when they are five meters away, it is still sticking its butt up to dig holes, with its head stuck in the soil and unable to be seen, and its short legs are constantly digging to loosen the soil. It's really outrageous.

Grandma is a bitch!
This was too much to bear. Feeling his dignity was offended, Li Heng immediately turned into Xiao Li Flying Dagger and threw the hatchet out with a "biu" sound.

I didn't have any hope at first, I just did it for fun.

but…

OK, good job!

Maybe he was just lucky, or maybe God thought he had lived too miserably for so long after being reborn, and it was time to eat him, and he hit the rabbit right in the thigh.

The hare screamed in pain and ran away, but its right hind leg was injured, so it could not run fast. Without saying a word, he immediately picked up the hatchet and followed.

After chasing for about 300 meters, the hare fell sideways when climbing over a ridge and fell into the ditch, howling. It was caught on the spot by Li Heng who was chasing it relentlessly.

I told you to run!
You are just showing off!

I have eaten more salt than you have eaten grass. Can you outrun me?
He reached out and pinched it everywhere, and instantly his brows lit up. It was full of meat and very fat.

“Dang! Dang! Dang…”

Just as he was happily looking for a vine to tie up the rabbit, he heard the sound of chopping wood from the other side of the mountain. The sound was fast and dense.

Damn it, who is stealing our Li family’s trees again?
With doubts, Li Heng quietly followed the sound and soon saw the culprit.

The cat was behind a clump of firewood. When he saw the girl swinging the knife hard to cut the firewood, he couldn't help but laugh.

Isn’t this my old classmate Yang Yingwen?
She had short hair and a face as round as an apple. She was tall, at least 165cm tall. She wore an old blue work outfit and a pair of worn-out Liberation shoes that looked at least 40cm tall.

Talking about my relationship with this girl in my previous life, it would take up more than a book to describe it.
