Chapter 257 Silver Fiber Charcoal
As soon as Li Mingxia saw her elder brother's expression, she knew that he must be imagining how hard it would be for her to carry so many things with her two younger sisters. If she didn't say anything, Li Zhengpin would probably start to blame himself.
"Brother, I didn't feel tired at all. The stall owners helped me put these things on the ox cart. I didn't do any work all the way from town to home." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
After hearing what Li Mingxia said, Li Zhengpin felt less upset and his expression looked much better.
Li Mingxia gave the ox-cart driver five cents more as a thank you for waiting for the three of them for so long. The ox-cart driver thanked him and left happily.
"Just hang these wild game under the eaves. They can be used for a long time and you can eat them slowly. I'll buy more before the New Year. Winter is quite long." Li Mingxia said to Li Zhengpin while moving things.
"Okay, next time I'll go with you. I'll pick these things and see if it snows in the next few days. If it doesn't snow, I'd also like to go into the mountains for a wander." Li Zhengpin looked at the game all over the ground thoughtfully and said to Li Mingxia.
It seems that my sister likes to eat game. Anyway, I can hunt, so I should try my luck when I have nothing else to do. Even if I don’t have any other skills, can’t I do this?
But Li Mingxia disagreed. If Li Zhengpin wanted to go up the mountain, he must go hunting in the mountain of Qianniu Village, because people from other villages would never be allowed to enter the mountains of other villages. However, it was rumored that there were tigers in the mountains of Qianniu Village. How could Li Mingxia agree to this?
"If you want to go, wait until I'm not busy and we can go together. Otherwise, don't think about it. I won't agree. If you insist on going, I will tell mother about it." Li Mingxia said directly without giving Li Zhengpin any chance to struggle.
Li Zhengpin was stunned and looked at Li Mingxia. Little sister went up the mountain with him? That was not possible. That was not possible. If something really happened, he would be fine, but if something happened to little sister, he would never be able to forgive himself in his life.
"Then let's talk about it later. Let's not talk about this for now. I will definitely tell you when I go. I will definitely not go secretly if you and mother don't agree."
Neither of them mentioned Li Sanlang when they spoke, but they also deliberately avoided talking about what Li Sanlang said.
After all, although Li Sanlang's legs have recovered well, it is not easy for him to run and jump as freely as before. Li Zhengpin and Li Mingxia are worried that he will feel uncomfortable after hearing these things.
"Okay, it's okay if you think so. But you can't go there secretly. If something happens, we will be worried to death. Do you understand?" Li Mingxia nodded and said.
It wasn't that she was worrying for no reason. Although no one had ever seen a ferocious tiger, what if there really was one? Besides, Li Zhengpin and Li Sanlang had suffered such a big loss in the mountains. Once bitten by a snake, they are afraid of ropes for ten years. There are signs to follow.
"Yeah, I know." After being cared for by his sister, Li Zhengpin seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and he was extra energetic when moving things.
Li Mingxia saw that there was no use for her here, so she picked out the things that needed to be brought into the house, and led her two sisters into the house to find Zhang.
The two little girls were now fully alert. They skipped and jumped in front, opened the door, and got on the kang while calling their mother.
"Mom! We're back!"
"Mom, we bought so many things, and my eldest sister even bought a book for my brother!"
"Mom, what did you eat today? Are you full?"
The two little girls were chattering around Zhang, and Zhang's mood instantly became very good. Looking at the graceful and elegant eldest daughter standing on the ground, Zhang felt so happy.
"I've eaten. I'm full. I was just worried about you three sisters. Why did you take so long?" Zhang reached out and touched the foreheads and faces of the two little girls. She felt relieved only after making sure that everything was fine.
"Thinking that mom is getting better, we moved back home. The two little girls have had a hard time these days, so I thought of taking them out for a walk more often and buying them whatever they like. As a result, I came back late." Li Mingxia took out the odds and ends he had bought and handed them to Zhang one by one.
"I bought four of these small hand warmers in total, one for mother and one for each of the two little girls. Zhengde also has to take one with him to the college, otherwise the weather is getting colder and colder." Li Mingxia took out the most satisfying thing he bought today and showed it to Zhang.
Zhang looked at the three small hand warmers in front of her and liked them very much. "How much? Didn't you say four? Why are there only three? Did you not take them down from the car?"
Li Mingxia shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't have much money, so I bought a cheap one. I sent the one from Zhengde to his room. Mom, take a look at which one you like."
Four small hand warmers? Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong looked at each other, both doubting that there was something wrong with their memory.
How come I remember there were three hand warmers? But my elder sister said there were four, so there must be four. My elder sister is so smart, how could she remember it wrong? It must be the two of them who remembered it wrong! Yes! It must be like this!
The two little girls did not hesitate for long, and in just a few seconds they confirmed that Li Mingxia was right in this matter.
"I don't need it. You three can use it. Mom is staying at home and doesn't need this thing." Although Zhang liked this small hand warmer, how could she bear to use it when her eldest daughter didn't buy one for herself?
"Mom, touch my hand." Li Mingxia reached out and held Zhang's hand. She felt the warmth from her daughter's body and was a little surprised.
When I just entered the room, the two little girls' hands were icy cold. Why were the eldest girl's hands so warm?
"I'm terribly hot. They both said they were cold along the way and I'm sweating. I don't think I can use this hand warmer, otherwise I would have bought it. Mom, do you think I'm the kind of person who is reluctant to spend money?" Li Mingxia held Zhang's hand and acted coquettishly.
Zhang believed her eldest daughter's coaxing and picked out the one with mandarin ducks embroidered on the outer brocade cover. The remaining two, embroidered with flowers, plants and butterflies, were given to Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong.
"These hand warmers can be used tonight. I will use the silver charcoal I bought last time when I cook. It's cold in the house, and you won't be cold. We have plenty of charcoal at home, so there's no need to save it, mother."
