Chapter 1311 Rejection
"Our Tuanzi is so amazing that he found a ginseng nest in one go!"
Jiang Yilin said this because he followed Tuanzi's line of sight and saw two wild ginsengs with red berries more than two meters away.
Tuanzi: "Brother, let's dig them out carefully and take them home."
Mingrui: "Okay."
There is strength in numbers, and everyone dug carefully. However, since Tuanzi and Xi Jingyu were too small, the big ones didn't let the four little guys do it.
But the four of them watched from the side with extremely serious expressions.
It took about half an hour, and Mingrui and Jiang Yilin finally dug out five wild ginsengs completely.
"Brother, these two are so big!"
This was Tangyuan's voice. He looked at the two wild ginsengs that were almost as thick as his wrists, and his eyes were as bright as if they were decorated with bright stars.
"Fifth brother, these three are also so big!"
Pointing at the other three wild ginsengs, Guoguo blinked his big black grape-like eyes and said in a baby voice: "As thick as the carrot I ate raw yesterday. According to the description in the medical book of great grandfather, these three wild ginsengs must be one or two hundred years old."
"According to this, the other two are probably more than three hundred years old?"
Minghan suddenly said.
In fact, he often went to the study of great grandfather to read books, but he was not very interested in medical books, especially those ancient books. Now, compared with his younger brothers and sisters, to be honest, he, as a brother, is like a bumpkin.
——Not knowing wild ginseng, let alone telling the age, is really useless.
"Should we continue to transfer, or go back down the mountain?"
Mingrui and Jiang Yilin gently put the five wild ginsengs into the backpack, and then Mingrui asked Tuanzi about the three.
Guoguo was the first to express his opinion: "Big brother, let's kill two more rabbits!"
The implication is that he doesn't want to go down the mountain now.
"Okay."
Mingrui responded.
Xi Jingyu approached Minghan and said, "Brother, I envy you so much for having a lucky little brother!"
"You are not looking down on Xiaoyu, are you?"
Minghan deliberately looked at Xi Chenyu.
Xi Jingyu immediately shook his head like a rattle: "How dare I?! My little brother is the treasure of our family. If I dare to look down on him, I will be beaten by my grandfather!"
Hearing this, Minghan glared at him and said two words: "You deserve it."
"Brother, are you going to overturn our friendship like this?"
There is no doubt that Xi Jingyu learned this from Minghan.
"You and I are just plastic brothers, understand?"
Giving Xi Jingyu a roll of the eyes, Minghan showed disdain.
Well, he was just joking with his friend.
Xi Jingyu knew it, but he played along with Minghan. Now, he rolled his eyes in return: "Thank goodness you didn't say we were fake sisters, otherwise, I would have made gender misconceptions like you?!"
"..."
Minghan was startled at first, then "yue"!
"You..."
Xi Jingyu stared.
"What's wrong with me?"
Minghan looked innocent.
"Forget it, I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't argue with you!"
Humph, anyway, he just said that, not really making gender misconceptions, as for someone vomiting directly, he just pretended not to see it.
The group walked in the woods for another five or six minutes, and suddenly Guoguo made a surprised voice: "Big brother, big brother, come and see, this Ganoderma lucidum is so big!"
Before Mingrui and the others could react, they heard Tangyuan's happy little cream: "Wow! I also found a big Ganoderma lucidum!"
At this time, Tuanzi threw two gravel, knocking out two hares one after the other.
Little Xi Chenyu went to help pick up the hare, but unexpectedly, when he was carrying the hare back the same way, he was tripped by something.
Frightened, Xi Jingyu hurried forward: "Xi Chenyu, are you okay?"
Shaking his head, Xi Chenyu picked up the thing that tripped him, and heard Tuanzi's baby voice saying: "It's Polygonum multiflorum!"
Yes, Tuanzi recognized at a glance the object that looked like a human and wood in Xi Chenyu's hand. It was the Polygonum multiflorum he saw in the ancient medical book at his great-grandfather's house.
"Polygonum multiflorum?"
Xi Chenyu's eyes widened, and he looked straight at Tuanzi.
As if he understood what he was thinking, Tuanzi explained the efficacy and function of Polygonum multiflorum in a baby voice, as well as its growth habits and appearance characteristics.
Xi Jingyu: "What happened today? First, Tuanzi poked the nest of wild ginseng, then Guoguo and Tangyuan each found such a big Ganoderma lucidum, and now our Xi Chenyu also picked up a treasure, why am I not so lucky?!"
As he said this, Xi Jingyu deliberately made a sad face.
"It tripped me."
It was not him who found it himself, but the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand tripped him, and then he picked it up.
"I know, you are so lucky. You were tripped by a Polygonum multiflorum. It seems that you have been playing with Tuanzi and the others for a long time, and you have been blessed by them."
Xi Jingyu was talking nonsense, but Minghan glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, what is blessing or not, it's just Xiaoyu's own luck."
After digging treasures, picking treasures, and picking up treasures, and killing several wild animals, Mingrui and Jiang Yilin decided to go down the mountain, and the others, big and small, had no objections.
So, the little guys were picked up by the bodyguards and followed Mingrui and the others out of the forest and walked down the mountain along the stone steps.
…
Jiang Li has been busy with matters in the factory and the ecological recycling park recently. He happened to be busy with things at noon today, so he took the time to go to Jiang Hongfa's villa to chat with the cheap grandfather and Mr. Xi. At this moment, he saw When Mingrui's group of children came into the living room from the backyard with smiles on their faces, they couldn't help but ask: "Did you find a treasure on the mountain?"
Her eyes fell on Mingrui.
"Mom, you were right. However, it's not all of us who found the treasure. It's Tuanzi, Tangyuan, Guoguo and Xiaoyu."
A faint smile appeared between Mingrui's brows and eyes, and then he put the backpack on the ground. He said: "Tuanzi dug a wild ginseng nest, Tangyuan and Guoguo each found a Ganoderma lucidum, and Xiao Yu picked up a human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum. ”
Before Mingrui could take out the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, Xi Jingyu showed the Polygonum multiflorum that Xi Chenyu picked up to Jiang Li and the others.
"This year is at least fifty or sixty years old."
Jiang Li looked at the Polygonum multiflorum that Xi Jingyu handed over. She said to Jiang Hongfa and Mr. Xi that after hearing her words, Jiang Hongfa and the three of them looked surprised. Jiang Li said again: "I read it from medical books." Yes, we can roughly estimate the year.”
"Mom, great grandpa..."
Mingrui called Jiang Li and others, and then he placed the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum he took out one by one on the coffee table. In an instant, everyone, including Jiang Li, opened their eyes wide and stared in shock.
After a while, Jiang Hongfa said: "Of these five wild ginseng plants, the youngest one is at least two hundred years old, and the oldest one is probably nearly five hundred years old. They are so precious!"
They are all good things to kill one's life. In a critical moment, just cut a thin slice and it is possible to save a life!
"This needs to be concocted to be properly preserved."
Jiang Li is not short of money, so she will not sell wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. However, although she has some basic knowledge about preparing medicinal materials, she has not done it in detail. In order to avoid wasting good things, she needs to find someone special. Processing.
"Old Xi, with your connections, you should know someone who is good at preparing medicinal materials in the provincial capital here. How about I leave this job to you?"
Jiang Hongfa looked at Mr. Xi. When Jiang Li heard this, without waiting for Mr. Xi to say anything, she said with a smile: "Grandpa Xi, when the concoction is ready, I will help the children make the decision and give you one."
His eyes moved to the three dumplings: "Do you have any opinions?"
The three dumplings shook their heads in unison.
"I do know an old man here. He can be regarded as a master of traditional Chinese medicine. His skills in preparing medicinal materials are excellent. I will contact you on the phone soon, but I can't ask for this wild ginseng in vain. After all, it is too precious. If I take one for nothing, my conscience will be uneasy. Let me buy one and buy another Ganoderma lucidum at the same time. Do you think that’s OK?”
Mr. Xi turned his attention to Jiang Li and Jiang Hongfa.
"Li Li, just make up your own mind."
Jiang Hongfa handed over the decision-making power to Jiang Li.
After all, it was Tuanzi San who discovered the thing. Although he is the great-grandfather of the children and the eldest elder in the family, the children must be close to their mother, so it is most appropriate for their mother to make the decision.
"Fine."
Jiang Li knew that the things in front of him were too precious, and with Mr. Xi's temperament, since he could say that, he would never ask for it in vain. He also knew why Mr. Xi bought wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. This was obviously to replenish his wife's health. .
Of course, after buying the things, Mr. Xi can also nourish himself. After all, as people get older, they will inevitably develop some age-related diseases.
What's more, Mr. Xi walked through a hail of bullets, so he might have hidden wounds in his body!
A few minutes later.
Mr. Xi contacted his old friend in the provincial capital here and started talking about the matter. The other party agreed without thinking and asked Mr. Xi to arrange for someone to bring things over at any time. The two of them chatted again. Two sentences and hang up the phone.
Jiang Li: "How about I go there?"
Jiang Hongfa: "Are you done?"
"I'm actually not busy with anything. There are dedicated people in charge here. I just went to the factory and the ecological recycling park to look around."
Jiang Li said with a smile, and after listening to her words, Jiang Hongfa said: "Don't make fun of your own health, otherwise, what will happen to me, the old man, and your father."
"Don't worry when you get older. I won't be a workaholic. Besides, the children are still young. I want to watch them grow up, and provide for you and my father in old age. I will accompany you to your old age!"
The smile on Jiang Li's face was bright, and his whole state was positive no matter how he looked at it.
Jiang Hongfa saw this, but still confirmed: "Don't you plan to take a good rest?"
"Need not."
Jiang Li shook his head.
Jiang Hongfa: "Then you go, but you can't go alone."
"good."
Jiang Li responded.
After lunch, Jiang Li set off for the provincial capital, driven by Jiang Hongfa's driver and accompanied by a bodyguard.
What I want to say is that Mr. Xi did not let Jiang Li process the whole bunch of wild ginseng he bought. Instead, he cut off half of it and kept it with the Ganoderma lucidum for Mrs. Xi's body conditioning.
Well, he himself also needs to make up for himself, maybe two more years to live.
After taking these two good things, wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, Mr. Xi's health has obviously improved.
Even Mrs. Xi's physical condition has improved greatly.
Not only can he walk independently, but he can also walk for ten minutes at a time. Unlike before, he could walk, but he needed help. His walking was not only slow, but he could only walk for five or six minutes at most. Therefore, he had to either sit in a wheelchair or lie down every day. on the bed.
Not to mention that when winter comes, I can’t get out of bed at all.
In short, Mrs. Xi felt that Aoli Village was her blessed land. Coming here to get close to nature, her sleep improved, and her sick body gradually improved. To be honest, she was willing to live in Aoli Village for a long time.
But Mrs. Xi knew that this was impossible. On the one hand, her home was in Beicheng, and on the other hand, her children and grandchildren were also in Beicheng. For many years, the whole family had been worried about her health.
Now that her health is gradually getting better, it is better to be back with her family and be together.
"When we go back, your health will only be better than it is now!"
"I hope so, so I don't have to cause trouble to the children anymore."
"What are you talking about?! If they dare to say you are trouble, I will drive them out of the house!"
Today's weather is cloudy, and there is no big sun in the sky. It is mid-afternoon again. Mr. Xi and his wife are lying on the lounge chairs in the backyard of the villa, blowing the cool breeze and smelling the elegant fragrance of flowers. The two chatted.
As for Jiang Hongfa, he went to talk to Grandpa Jiang.
The older children of Mingrui were reading books, and the three Tuanzi and Xi Chenyu were learning with their private tutor.
Everyone's life was warm and peaceful, and the years were quiet and good.
"How can you be a father like this? Besides, don't you know what our children are like?"
Mrs. Xi glared at Mr. Xi, and said, "I feel that my body is a burden, which makes you and the children worry about me every day, fearing that something might happen to me. You don't know that I have wanted to end my life more than once, but I can't bear to leave you..."
Grabbing Mrs. Xi's hand that was close to his side, Mr. Xi said, "Fortunately, you didn't do anything stupid, otherwise, I, an old man, would probably follow you."
The two old couples have gone through ups and downs. If his wife ended her life in a decisive way because of her physical condition, he would definitely not be able to bear such a blow.
"Yes, thank goodness I didn't take that step, otherwise, how would I know that my health would get better one day."
Old Lady Xi smiled and said: "All the children taught by Li Li are good."
Old Master Xi didn't show any strangeness when Old Lady Xi suddenly changed the subject. He looked gentle and smiled: "Yes, that girl is very good at teaching children and giving birth. All the children in the family are full of spirit and will definitely be the pillars of the country in the future."
Old Lady Xi: "If it weren't for the seniority of Li Li and Guo Bang, I don't think Jing Yu and Wei Wei would be good at it. The girl is a perfect match!"
"If the two children really like each other, seniority is not a problem."
When Mr. Xi said this, he paused and continued: "Xiao Yu likes Guo Guo very much."
"..."
Mrs. Xi was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses and asked: "You don't want to arrange a baby marriage, do you?"
"I do want to, but Brother Jiang won't agree. However, I am optimistic about our Xiao Yu. Maybe in ten or twenty years, Xiao Yu can really marry Guo Guo into our family."
Mr. Xi said this, and the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"It would be great if there is such a day."
Mrs. Xi also smiled.
"By the way, was Li Li's child really born to Xiao Feng's second wife?"
Old Lady Xi looked at Old Man Xi: "I heard it from Guo Bang's wife. When she mentioned it, I was so sleepy that I didn't listen to her carefully."
"Well, that's exactly what happened. The one Xiao Feng married later was the daughter of the housekeeper of Brother Jiang's house. Boya was young at the time, and maybe he was just beginning to fall in love. He and the housekeeper's daughter fell in love with each other. Unexpectedly, Brother Jiang firmly opposed it. As a result, the two young people chose to elope directly. When the people sent by Brother Jiang found Boya, it had been nearly a year. Boya was forcibly taken back to North City, and soon he was forcibly taken abroad by Brother Jiang..."
Old Man Xi briefly narrated to Old Lady Xi what he had heard from Jiang Hongfa about the relationship between Jiang Boya and Fang Su. At the end, he sighed: "Although Brother Jiang's actions at the beginning were a bit cruel, I can understand from his point of view, but the one in Xiao Feng's family did something a bit inappropriate.
Since she chose to give birth to the child, even if she didn't want to raise it or didn't have the ability to raise it, she could give the child away or put it in a crowded place, which would give the child a chance to live. Unexpectedly, she was so cruel that she threw the newborn child into the trash can of the health center. To be honest, I don't find it strange that Li Li didn't recognize the one from Xiao Feng's family. "
"She is a cruel woman!"
Old lady Xi said: "She abandoned her daughter and drove her son out of the house. This is not what a mother can do."
"Indeed."
Old man Xi agreed: "She must be regretting it now."
"She deserves it."
After knowing what Fang Su did to Jiang Li and Feng Yi, Old lady Xi didn't have a good impression of Fang Su at all. She said: "The adoptive parents of Li Li's child are really good and treat people sincerely. I can see that they treat Li Li as their own child and love her."
"Yeah."
Old man Xi nodded.
…
“Keep it for yourself. Your father and I don’t need it.”
Cai Xiufang looked at the wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that Jiang Li placed in front of her. She didn’t want to take them at all. She closed the box and said, “When your father and I really need them in the future, won’t you give them to us?”
“How is that possible?!”
Jiang Li didn’t even think about it and said bluntly, “As long as I have them, in my heart, they belong to my parents.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Glancing at Jiang Li, Cai Xiufang said, "Mother and father know that these two things are precious, but they were found by Tuanzi and his friends in the mountains, so you should keep them. If you give them to me and your father, and your eldest brother and his friends find out, it might cause trouble."
Captain Jiang said, "Your mother is right, you should keep the things yourself."
"But I gave you this wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. Whether you use them yourself or give them to others in the future, I don't care."
Jiang Li pushed the box on the table towards Cai Xiufang and Captain Jiang again.
"Do you want to see your elder brother and his friends quarrel over these two things?"
Cai Xiufang said: "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Your father and I have these two good things. If any of your elder brother and his friends find out one day, they will ask me and your father for them. Do you think we should give them to you or not? If we give them to you, what will your other brothers do? But if the things are in your hands, they are yours. Even if your elder brother and his friends know that you have them, they will not ask you for them. Do you understand what mother means?"
After a long silence, Jiang Li nodded: "I understand. Then I will keep them for you two elders. I will take them out when you need them."
For the sake of family harmony, she will keep them. In short, as long as her family needs them, she will take them out without hesitation.
"I'll go to the field."
Captain Jiang said, and got up and walked out of the room.
"Don't you want to go back to your room and lie down for a while?"
Cai Xiufang asked Jiang Li.
"I'm not sleepy."
Jiang Li said this, but she didn't continue sitting. She stood up and said, "I'll go sit with my grandparents for a while."
"Go ahead."
Cai Xiufang waved her hand and then said, "I'll take the things back to your room and put them there. Remember to keep them safe later."
"Oh."
Jiang Li responded and was outside the door in a blink of an eye.
...
"Where is Li Bao going?"
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Jiang Li ran into Cui Da Laba. Hearing this, she smiled and responded, "Go to my uncle's house to see my grandparents."
"Is that so? Let's go. Auntie just wants to talk to your aunt about something. Let's go together."
Cui Da Laba was very enthusiastic. Her family was about to have two workers, one was her youngest son and the other was her youngest daughter-in-law. The couple recently went to participate in the recruitment of Jiang Li's factory and were both accepted. This was great news for her family.
She heard that the factory offered more wages than the workers in the county factory, and these were all the benefits brought to her family by the girl next to her.
Alas! It's a pity that such a good girl is not hers.
Otherwise, Cui Erhua is the factory director's mother. With such an identity, how majestic she would be when walking in front of people!
Jiang Li naturally didn't know about Cui Da Laba's psychological activities, but if she knew, she would at most laugh it off and wouldn't have any other thoughts.
"By the way, Li Bao, you don't know yet, Chunxia is back!"
Jiang Li was stunned when she heard Cui Da Laba's words, and then asked: "How did you know?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Cui Da Laba lowered his voice and said: "It should have just entered her house at this time. You didn't see it. The girl looks like a demon. She greets men when she sees them. She has no shame at all. However, she came back with big bags and small bags, and also pulled two big boxes. It is estimated that she has made a lot of money outside in the past few years."
Jiang Li smiled and did not respond.
Cui Da Laba was only concerned with her own thoughts, not caring whether Jiang Li responded to her or not. She only heard her say: "Li Bao, how much do you think Chunxia has earned in the past few years?"
"I don't know."
Seeing Cui Da Laba's eyes falling on her, Jiang Li smiled lightly: "But didn't Auntie say that she should earn a lot?"
"Yes, Chunxia is dressed very luxuriously, but I always feel that she is not serious."
Then catch the bug...
