Mrs. Qi had a troubled look on her face, which made Mrs. Zhang's mouth twitch. She thought that she wouldn't mind beating such a girl.
"This is a child's filial piety. Why do you dislike it? If you didn't send her to my house, I would be proud! She will definitely be closer than your own daughter." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mrs. Qi.
Showing off my daughter's face is really too much for me.
When she heard that someone was coming to snatch her daughter, even though she knew it was a joke, Qi's expression immediately changed.
"It's a beautiful dream, but it's a pity that it's not dark yet?" Mrs. Qi rolled her eyes in response to Mrs. Zhang.
"Hey, you can be proud of it." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing, and then she joined Mrs. Qi and said sheepishly: "How are those vegetables grown? Can I come to your house to visit?"
Thinking of the discomfort, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help it.
Ms. Qi glanced at her mother-in-law, who was chatting happily, and saw that there was no objection in her eyes. She immediately smiled at Ms. Zhang and said, "If it doesn't work, you can come home to see her at any time."
"Oh, my sister-in-law is very generous. Otherwise, she can raise children. I think Jin'er just follows you." Ms. Zhang's smile was so exaggerated!
"Well, it's the child who will grow up on his own." The daughter is Qi's weakness. It makes her happier to praise her daughter than to praise her. Qi is so happy that she can't get along with this.
After staying for a while, Mrs. Qi followed her mother-in-law to another house to continue the next round of showing off.
By the time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home, it was already an hour later.
In the evening, Mrs. Lin and the others came over to visit the planting inside the house.
As soon as I entered Mrs. Hua's bedroom, I felt the obvious difference in temperature. Looking at the large charcoal basin placed on the wall of the room, I understood it clearly.
No wonder it sprouted. The temperature was sky-high compared to the outside. The old woman was really willing to burn the charcoal pot day and night. This was not a small expense. It allowed them to see again the Hua family's love for their granddaughter.
Although they are very interested in planting indoors, many people immediately retreat when they think about the expense.
Not to mention whether they have charcoal at home, even if there are people heating it, it is not enough. How can they be willing to keep warm just to grow a few vegetables?
Feeling the warm atmosphere in the room, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
But looking at the green sprouts in the wooden box, several people were still moved.
Mrs. Lin, her children, Mrs. Sun and Hua Sanshan's family are all planning to plant some seeds. They will also burn charcoal trays at home during the day to keep warm while growing vegetables. Maybe they will be able to eat fresh vegetables during the New Year. Thinking about it this way, I can’t wait even more.
So Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Lin and the Hua Sanshan family began to learn from Mrs. Hua after the others left.
"The temperature needs to be so high?" Hua Sanjia couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that it was necessary to wear autumn clothes.
"Otherwise, if the temperature is low, the seeds will be frozen to death. How can they still germinate?"
"Everyone has to burn charcoal at home, but it's just a little more burning. In fact, it doesn't cost much copper. Money is something that you can't take with you until you die. It's meant to serve people. How much can you get out of it if you dig it to death? , at least you won’t suffer. It’s better than taking medicine for cold sickness. Think about it, you’ll be able to eat fresh vegetables in a month, and you won’t suffer so much anymore. Don’t you feel sad in your heart? It feels much better.”
Mrs. Hua's words made the two of them nod.
Although the living conditions of the two families are not as good as those of Mrs. Hua's family, they are still better than those of Huajia Village. They can still save a little money for making charcoal.
And it is true that we need to burn charcoal at home, but just a little more is better than freezing our hands and feet and not being able to stretch out money to buy medicine.
"What Chengtian's mother said makes sense. I'll let our family's wealth grow when I get back." Mrs. Lin also made up her mind.
"If it's not for anything else, it's because I don't feel uncomfortable. I have to let my old man take care of me when I get back." The expression on Hua Sanshan's family was hard to describe. As soon as he thought about how difficult it would be to relieve himself, he immediately wanted to do it.
Although a lot of vegetables are grown before winter every year, there is simply not enough food for the family’s large population, and some food must be left for after the New Year, which means there are fewer opportunities to eat vegetables.
The most I can eat is pickled pickles, but eating too much of these things will make me more angry, and I will suffer anyway.
"Do you think these are the only benefits?"
Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Lin and the Huashan family looked at Mrs. Hua in confusion when they heard this.
Mrs. Lin had a very anxious temper and said, "Okay, don't be too pretentious. What other benefits are there?"
The old lady Hua glanced at them, her eyes full of disgust, "Stupid, what is the hardest thing to buy in winter?"
"What?" The two of them became even more confused. For a moment, they really couldn't figure out what was the hardest thing to buy.
"If you still don't admit that you are stupid, what do you think it is? Isn't it just a vegetable?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the ladies all lit up, and they all reacted in a flash.
"Think about how fast this vegetable grows. If you can't finish it, you can get the charcoal money from the market to burn it. Maybe you can even make some money." Mrs. Hua said proudly.
That is to say, the relationship between them is not bad. If it were other people, they would be too lazy to talk too much.
Of course, the old woman didn’t plan to buy the flowers she grew at home, and the family didn’t lack the money, so it was enough to give some as gifts from relatives and friends.
"Oh Chengtian, what you said is so right. You are indeed a good sister who always thinks of us when good things happen. When the vegetables come out, I will definitely bring them to you for you to try."
Mrs. Lin was so happy when she slapped her thigh! If Chengtian didn't say it, she really wouldn't be able to remember this, and she would be very grateful.
"Come on, I'm short of your food." Mrs. Hua rolled her eyes.
"Hehehe..." Mrs. Lin and the others laughed.
He said nice things to old lady Hua for free, but then he couldn't stay any longer and went home each other with excited hearts.
At this moment, I just want to go back and let my family make boxes and dig soil to quickly plant plants in the house.
As soon as the two of them got home, they didn't even have time to cook a meal, so they started giving orders to the men in the family.
I made several large boxes overnight, and the next day I dug up the soil and moved it to the house for planting.
After sprouting, the vegetables in the wooden box looked the same every day. They grew very fast, and the smiles on the faces of the Caojia family never ceased as they watched the plants grow bigger and bigger.
…
"Huh?"
As the vegetables in the wooden box grew longer and better, Mr. and Mrs. Hua would glance at them several times almost every day. They were so happy that they never looked carefully. If it wasn't so delicious, they wouldn't have noticed that there were two in the box. There were strange seedlings growing, and I couldn’t figure out what they were after thinking for a long time, but looking at the green and vegetable-like appearance, I thought I’d wait until my granddaughter came.
As soon as his granddaughter entered the house, Old Man Hua pulled Hua Jin and came to the box containing these two strange vegetables.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Hua Jin looked at her grandfather in confusion. Was he a little too excited so early in the morning? Could it be that the food was edible?
That's not right! Didn’t I say yesterday that it would be a few more days before these dishes can be eaten?
"It's nothing serious. I just found an unfamiliar plant in the vegetable box. I don't know if it's a vegetable or a weed. I asked you to come over and see if you recognize it. If you don't recognize it, I'll pull it out."
In fact, Old Man Wang also wondered if it might be the vegetable seeds that his granddaughter took out from the blessed land, otherwise he would have pulled them out as soon as he discovered them.
