Chapter 159 Discussion
After breakfast, the children couldn't sit still after cleaning up the pots and pans.
Li Lanzhen let them play by themselves and reminded them to rest safely.
The older children led the younger children and ran to the reed marsh to catch fish and pick up wild duck eggs. Xue Bao also went there, wanting to catch the wild ducks.
Shan Xing'er saw that Li Lanzhen didn't move, so she also sat on the grass and didn't go over.
She thought Li Lanzhen might have something to ask her.
Li Lanzhen watched the children leave and wanted to discuss with Shanxing about living in the valley.
"Shanxing, I want to discuss something with you. This valley was discovered by your grandfather.
So, I want to discuss with you that I want to settle down here.
The land here is fertile, the climate is mild, and most importantly, it is very safe.
In this chaotic world, it is very important to have a safe place to live! "
In fact, Shanxing already knew what Li Lanzhen wanted to ask her.
When they came to the valley, Shan Xing'er noticed Li Lanzhen's eager and fond eyes for the land here.
Just now she said she wanted to discuss something with me.
Shanxing understood that Li Lanzhen probably wanted to live here.
Although this place was discovered by my grandfather, it is also the secret base of my grandfather and myself.
Here are also the hard and happy days she lived with her grandfather.
However, since Li Lanzhen and others want to live here, of course it's possible. There are more people here, and it's more lively. I won't be lonely here, and I can still miss my grandfather.
She smiled and said to Li Lanzhen, "Of course, although this place was discovered by my grandfather, it belongs to nature, to the sky, and to the earth!
However, Aunt Lan Zhen, you must strictly examine the people who come here, and you must not bring in ungrateful people or those with evil intentions!"
Li Lanzhen didn't expect that Shanxing would agree immediately and even call her aunt.
He nodded and said to Shanxing with a smile.
“Don’t worry, the people who come here are my closest relatives, and they are all kind and hardworking people.
But I haven’t made up my mind yet. Let’s make a decision after we return to Forget-Sorrow Valley.”
Shan Xing asked Li Lanzhen, "Aunt Lanzhen, is Wangyou Valley where you live? Is it better than this place?"
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "Yes, it was after we fled into the mountains that we found a valley, but it was much smaller than this one.
There were less than a hundred of us who fled there to escape famine, enough for us to live and stay there.
Moreover, there are many caves on the mountain walls, so before winter comes, we don’t have time to build houses, so we can temporarily live in the caves and wait until next spring to build houses.”
Shanxing looked at the canyon.
"Aunt Lanzhen, there are no caves here. If you come here to live, you can only build a shack first. But the climate here is warm, much warmer than outside."
Li Lanzhen laughed.
"Yes, this is indeed a good place to live. You see, the land in the reed marsh is relatively low, and those fields can be reclaimed and used as paddy fields to grow rice, so that we can have rice to eat.
The mountains here are relatively high, and all we grow are wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.”
Shan Xing'er heard the words sweet potato and potato and asked her in confusion.
"Aunt Lanzhen, sweet potatoes, potatoes, what are those? We have never seen them in our village."
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "This is what I got from a silver shop called Jinfulai in our county. The young owner of the silver shop gave it to me. It has a high yield, tastes good, and is easy to grow.
If you come here to live, you can plant more food to have enough for the winter, and then you can plant rice, wheat and corn next spring.
This way we won’t have to worry about food.”
Shanxing's eyes lit up after hearing Li Lanzhen's words. That was the life they longed for.
We can grow food! With so much food, all the friends in Lishu Village can have enough to eat.
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Lanzhen with bright eyes.
"Aunt, let's go back to Forget-Your-Sorrow Valley as soon as possible. You move the things quickly. We will live here and start growing crops."
Li Lanzhen looked back at the narrow door leading into the valley.
Shanxing seemed to have guessed what was in her mind.
"Aunt Lan Zhen, there is another door in this valley that can lead you out, but once you get out, there are still mountains. I don't know how far it is from the Forget-Sorrow Valley you mentioned."
When Li Lanzhen heard that there was another door in the valley, she felt even happier.
It’s a great place with both advance and retreat, both attack and defense!
She said quickly, "Shanxing, please take us there. Since there is another door, we can go out from that door. No matter how far we are, we can always get back to Wangyou Valley.
It’s no use for us to stay in this valley.”
Shanxing stood up happily and spoke impatiently.
"Aunt Lanzhen, let's go!"
After saying that, she waved her hand and called her friends to come over quickly.
After a while, Xue Bao and his men came over carrying a basket of cleaned fish.
A few people from Shitou came behind carrying half a basket of wild duck eggs.
Their little faces lit up and they were so happy.
Sanwang was holding Douhua and Datou's hands. Douhua was waving his little fists. He was so excited that his little face was red and his two big eyes were shining.
"Grandma, fish and duck eggs, so many!"
Datou quickly added, "Grandma grilled fish!"
Li Lanzhen burst into laughter.
"Big Head, you're hungry again after just having dinner. Why do I see that your belly is still round?"
Big Head touched his round belly and laughed embarrassedly.
Xue Bao said, "Aunt, are we going out?"
Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Yes, Shanxing said there is another door here, let's go out from that door and return to Wangyou Valley!
Xue Bao, I want to bring our family here to live, what do you think? "
When Xue Bao heard this, he smiled happily and nodded continuously.
"Great, great, it's so nice here, this reed marsh is my favorite, when I come here, I must catch some wild ducks to eat.
Moreover, the land here is fertile. Rice can be grown near the reed marshes, and wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown here.
We will plant some as soon as we get here. It is hotter here than outside, so we should be able to harvest some sweet potatoes and potatoes. Even in winter, we won’t have to starve. ”
As he spoke, he frowned again.
"Aunt Lanzhen, do I want to bring everyone in the village here?"
Li Lanzhen didn't respond and shook her head.
"I don't want to bring so many people. I just want to bring a few of our families. However, we need to discuss this when we get home. If they all want to come, I can't stop them."
Xue Bao said with a roll of his eyes.
"Aunt Lanzhen, you and I are going back this time to bring back 20 children, big and small. The 20 children are in Wangyou Valley and need to divide the land. They want to come here, but there are no ready-made caves for them to live in."
After hearing what he said, Li Lanzhen immediately knew what he was planning.
She patted his shoulder and said, "You are a very quick-witted boy. Let's go back to Wangyou Valley and discuss it with your father and Uncle Zhang first."
