Chapter 251 Winter Rain
But, as long as she wanted it, Lin Lanshan could only indulge in it in her heart and dreams.
After all, you can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win an argument either.
So she retorted without backing down, "Fine, I'll guard it then~ You'd better stay even further away, or you can stand in the outer courtyard, or I'll smother you with the smell of the medicine!"
"It's okay, don't worry about me, just keep slapping me." Lin Chunyi laughed a few times, then stood behind her.
"..." Lin Lanshan was completely speechless. The word "cunning" really belonged to her sister!
She had no choice but to vigorously wave her bamboo fan, fanning the smoke from the firewood and the earthenware pot so that it drifted all over the yard.
What does it mean to live a peaceful and tranquil life?
In a corner of the valley, a reddish-brown mule was swishing its tail and chewing hay.
Two little hens were waving their claws, digging in the dirt to catch insects.
Two little male geese were playing a game of chasing each other with shelled insects in the grass;
The inner courtyard is divided into two sides by a pebble path. On one side are two peach trees with only branches left, and on the other side is an osmanthus tree with green leaves still hanging.
Under the osmanthus tree, there were two other people, one sitting and one standing. One was decocting Chinese medicine while fanning himself with a bamboo fan, and the other was leisurely practicing half-baked Tai Chi.
What does it mean to live a peaceful and tranquil life?
That's probably their life now...
Pat, pat... pat...
The two sisters, still immersed in the tranquility of life, were suddenly awakened by a sound and a chill above their heads. Looking up at the sky, they saw raindrops falling one after another onto their faces and eyelids.
They then realized that, without them noticing, dark clouds had already covered the area. In the blink of an eye, a rushing sound followed.
"It's raining... Oh dear, my medicine!" Lin Lanshan reacted quickly this time, throwing away her bamboo fan, picking up the earthenware pot and crouching down to shield herself from the rain, before running into the house.
Lin Chunyi followed closely behind, grabbed the handle of the stove, and rushed into the house with her head down.
A light winter rain arrived quietly.
They sat under the eaves, put the stove and earthenware pot back on, and continued to brew the medicine.
Lin Lanshan wiped the raindrops from her hair and said, "Luckily, I ran fast, and I put the lid on as soon as the medicine boiled, otherwise this pot of medicine would have been boiled for nothing!"
He paused, then joked, "It's just a pity I don't know if adding rootless water to the Chinese medicine would make it even more effective."
She was quite curious about how magical the Rootless Water was, as mentioned in Journey to the West.
Lin Chunyi lowered her head and wiped her damp hair with a handkerchief, casually replying, "How about I put the pot outside for you now and get some water from the rootless source so you can try drinking it first?"
"Never mind then, I'll get better with regular medicine."
The two sisters looked at each other and burst out laughing...
After the ground was wet, the rain lessened, becoming a light, continuous drizzle.
Lin Chunyi rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the misty sky, and sighed, "It would be good if it rained a little in winter, so the air wouldn't be too dry. I just don't know when this rain will stop; we haven't even brought our planting boxes yet."
She was really afraid that the lettuce they had planted, which had just sprouted into tiny seedlings, wouldn't survive.
Lin Lanshan chewed on a piece of dried meat, mumbling, "There's nothing we can do, nobody can control the weather. We'll just go get it as soon as the weather clears up."
She had barely finished speaking when she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, sis, what are we having for lunch?" Time flies, it's lunchtime again so soon.
Lin Chunyi stared blankly at the raindrops forming lines, and after a long while, she came to her senses and said:
"Hmm... There's still a lot of porridge left from yesterday. Once the medicine is ready, we can use the residual heat from this stove to heat up the cured meat buns that the aunties gave us. It's raining, and I don't want to cook any more troublesome dishes."
“That makes sense. I feel weak all over when it rains, and I really want to sleep.” Lin Lanshan yawned, indicating that she was getting sleepy.
The power of white noise from nature is something everyone knows!
The medicine was finally ready. The two sisters touched each other's bowls and each gulped down half a bowl.
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
Both of them gagged, their eyes glistening with tears.
The medicine rushed up from my stomach and back into my throat!
They quickly covered their mouths tightly, then stuffed a candied fruit into their mouths and chewed it frantically before swallowing it to push the medicine back into their stomachs. Their actions were perfectly synchronized.
After finishing the medicine and recovering, heat up a few fragrant cured meat buns and eat them with a bowl of white rice porridge.
The two sisters didn't even want to wash the dishes, so they just threw them back into their space. While they were still very sleepy, they climbed into bed and closed their eyes.
Still half asleep, Lin Lanshan suddenly asked, "Sister, is there anything we forgot to pack?"
It wasn't that she had a good memory and remembered something; rather, it was because both of them had bad memories and often forgot things, so they would often ask each other this question to remind each other...
"No, we didn't air anything out today." Lin Chunyi turned over and continued sleeping.
"Hmm, that seems to be true~" She also turned over and adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position.
The two sisters fell into a deep sleep, back to back.
However, in the valley under the rain curtain...
Nobody saw it! A mule carrying two geese and two chickens was galloping through the rain on its way home.
The peaches that were "soaked" and the wishes for reunion and peace are expressed as follows:
If I'd known it was going to rain today, I wouldn't have come all this way! Wouldn't it have been better to just stroll around near home?
Now it's all so much better; going home is like a life-or-death struggle.
With such heavy rain, why don't the two owners take care of them or come to pick them up?
Lin Chunyi: Hehe~ So much money~
Lin Lanshan: Hehe~ The meat smells so good~
……
The rain came suddenly and went just as suddenly.
The rain was still drizzling when the two sisters fell asleep, but when they woke up again in the evening, the ground had dried and there was only a slightly damp wind in the air.
It was as if it had simply come to say hello: winter has arrived.
To avoid further weather changes, they went down the mountain early the next day to get the planting boxes and transplanted the lettuce seedlings into them.
It's worth mentioning that the two sisters went to Yang Yu's house and learned from him that Ashu and Ahua had been working very hard lately to weave and sell baskets to earn money.
Sometimes I'd sit on the steps, close my eyes, and doze off, but my hands never stopped moving.
They immediately understood the situation; it seemed that Ahua's schooling had been arranged, and the brother and sister were working hard to earn tuition fees.
They knew that for an eleven or twelve-year-old child with little education and no experience in earning money, earning twenty taels of silver within a few months would be impossible, even if they worked themselves to exhaustion for twelve hours a day.
So they said they would cover the majority of the cost.
But now it seems that the brother and sister don't want to trouble them and are planning to risk their lives to try and earn all the tuition fees!
They gave Ahua the opportunity to study, not with the intention of causing these two children to die suddenly...
After thinking it over for a while, Lin Chun decided to tell Yang Yu everything.
And he asked him to think of a way, without the siblings noticing, to give them some ideas so they could earn more money and not work so hard.
Having learned the situation, Yang Yu naturally reassured his two masters that it was nothing serious.
I can't speak for anything else, but when it comes to doing business and making money, he's the best!
