Chapter 71: Eating more fruit is good for health

When the carriage returned to the team, the sun was still high in the west.

Li Long let Tao Daqiang go back by himself, he drove the carriage back to the Li family courtyard, and Liang Wenyu came out with the two children to help.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Liang Wenyu asked, looking at the carriage piled full.

"Some are to be brought to the mountains for friends." Li Long said while untying the harness on the horse:

"Qiangqiang, go move a stool for me."

As soon as Li Qiang heard there was a task, he turned his head and ran into the room excitedly, then moved a wooden square high stool out with effort.

"Shouldn't those things be unloaded and put in the room first? You still have to return the carriage later." Liang Wenyu asked.

"The carriage doesn't need to be returned yet, just return the horse. If it weren't for the cold night, I wouldn't even plan to return the horse." Li Long took the stool from Li Qiang's hand and cushioned it under the carriage shaft, then led the horse out and tied it to the side first:

"Sister-in-law, some of these are our family's things, move them to the idle room first."

"Alright, you say what to move."

"Juan, there are two bags of fruit here, put them on the table first, you and your brother can eat them later." Li Long took the fruit down and handed it to Li Juan, who had been waiting for the task assignment, "The rest of you go play."

"Little Long, did you buy fruit again?" Liang Wenyu complained, "That thing is so expensive, we haven't eaten much of what you bought last time..."

"Juan and Qiangqiang are growing, fruit should be eaten from time to time. We can't be like when we were young, eating wild peaches as fruit." Li Long said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, these two bags of rice and two bags of flour are our family's, keep them to eat."

"Why buy so many?" Liang Wenyu didn't expect half of the rice and flour to be her own.

"Juan and Qiangqiang are both growing, it's good to eat less coarse grain." Li Long said with a smile, "Why do we earn money? Isn't it so that the children can eat well, drink well, suffer less, and live a good life!"

These words made Liang Wenyu's nose sore. Didn't she want her children to eat well and drink well? But there really wasn't that condition before.

Didn't expect that during this period, the younger brother-in-law had changed so much. Liang Wenyu felt that when she took this "task" from her father-in-law, it was really accumulating virtue in her previous life.

Moving the four bags of rice and flour to the wooden shelf in the idle room, Li Long patted the white marks on his body and asked:

"Did my brother go to catch fish again?"

"Yeah, two families in the team also went. Your brother can't stay idle, saying it's better to catch some, anyway, it can be stored in winter, even if it's not sold, it's good to keep it to eat. Don't go, rest well, your brother is pulling a sled, that work isn't tiring, he'll be back in a while."

Li Long thought it was the same, so he planned to go return the horse. After returning from the horse station, he prepared to go to the east room to rest for a while.

"I'll call you when the food is ready!" Liang Wenyu shouted.

"Alright." Li Long responded, went to the east room, changed his clothes, leaned against the fire wall, and picked up "The Tang Dynasty Ranger" to read.

Li Jianguo was considered a "cultured person" in the team, and collected quite a few books, including the Four Great Classical Novels, "Romance of the Yongchang Dynasty," "Romance of Sui and Tang," etc., and also quite a few martial arts novels. When bored, Li Long would flip through one to read.

Liang Yusheng's novels looked quite good at this time.

Don't know how long passed, Li Qiang broke in and shouted:

"Uncle, time to eat!"

Only then did Li Long feel hungry. He put down the book and got up to follow Li Qiang out.

"Uncle, the fruit you bought, is it delicious?" Li Qiang asked in a low voice.

Only then did Li Long remember, and asked in surprise:

"You guys haven't eaten yet?"

"Not yet, my mom said... don't eat it yet."

"Alright then, let's eat fruit after eating." Li Long felt a bit sad. With this condition, he wanted to let his family live better. Sister-in-law wasn't wrong either, just used to living a bitter life, saving good things to eat slowly.

"My brother will be back soon, right?" Li Long arrived at the west room, saw Liang Wenyu serving dishes, and went over to take the plate, "Sister-in-law, this dish is really fragrant!"

Stir-fried wild boar meat with pickles, the taste was really nothing to say.

"Should be back soon." Liang Wenyu said, "Agreed to come back at meal time."

Just as they were talking, there was movement outside. Li Long put the dish plate on the dining table, turned around and went out, just in time to see Li Jianguo pulling a sled into the courtyard.

"Yo, big brother, you caught quite a lot of fish today!"

"There are forty or fifty kilograms." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Three families were catching fish at Little Haizi today, and I caught the most!"

"That's really not bad!" Li Long helped put the fish into the idle room, "The food is just ready, let's go, go in and eat."

The whole family finished eating happily at the dining table. After Li Long put down his bowl, he went to the windowsill and distributed the persimmons he bought to everyone, one for each:

"Bought some persimmons today, just one for each, let's taste them."

"Why buy that? Isn't there some at home?" Li Jianguo and Liang Wenyu had the same thought.

"Just to taste something fresh." Li Long gave one to each of the two children first. Li Juan and Li Qiang both looked at their parents.

!.

"Eat, since your little uncle bought them, let's taste them." Li Jianguo gave the order, "But persimmons are cold in nature, can't eat too much."

"Got it." Li Juan and Li Qiang both responded and took them.

Li Long gave one to each of Li Jianguo and Liang Wenyu, and said with a smile:

"This double-layered persimmon is quite good-looking."

"Millstone persimmon, right." Li Jianguo took it and weighed it in his hand, "There were some in the old home, but you were young, so you shouldn't know the place."

Li Long really didn't know, no impression.

The persimmons were delicious, the two children ate them in small bites, both with smiles on their faces.

"Little Long, you still have to pay attention to safety when entering the mountains tomorrow." Li Jianguo urged, "The family doesn't lack meat, so don't hunt wolves or anything if you don't have to."

"Alright, I know." Li Long actually had this thought too. Unless forced, he really didn't plan to hunt wolves, that guy was too cunning.

Before dawn the next day, after breakfast, Li Long went to the horse station to find Old Luo to lead the horse, then walked back, harnessed the carriage, and drove toward the west.

Because it was just to deliver things and not in a hurry, Li Long went very easily this time. He only bought two meat buns at the meat canteen and ate while heading toward the mountains.

By the time he arrived at Halimu's winter camp, it wasn't twelve o'clock yet. He didn't rush to unload the carriage this time, but waited for Halimu to hear the dog barking and rush over.

"Li Long, you brought so many things?" Halimu looked at the carriage full of things, very surprised.

"These wrapped in plastic sheets in front are yours, these in the back are for Big Brother Yushanjiang." Li Long said with a smile, "Rice, flour, various tools. Don't know when the next trip will be, so I sent them over in advance."

"That's really thanks!" Halimu didn't say much, and started unloading the carriage with Li Long.

After unloading his own things, Halimu let Li Long drink milk tea in the winter camp to warm up, then took him to send the things to Yushanjiang's place.

Li Long didn't expect that Yushanjiang had already prepared new gifts for him.
