Fu Shiyi returned from Fangshi and spent another three days planting the ten acres of lotus root in Xihe Garden. Wait until the sun warms the soil where the lotus root seedlings are buried until it slowly cracks, and then moistens it with the spiritual spring.
Spiritual springs are precious. In order to make full use of every drop, they are particularly careful when watering. They always nourish one seedling before moving on to the next seedling.
This took another day and a half.
"Ma Gu, after the soil dries a little, you can add some spiritual springs to moisten the soil. Aunt Wanzhen said that the lotus root absorbs water very well at this time, so you can just double the amount today. After that, you will notice that the lotus root and the mud When they are almost in one piece, you can add fermented Huoyun chicken manure.”
After finishing work, coming up from Xihu, Fu Shiyi carefully explained a few things to Magu about taking care of Ling Lotus. Magu listened carefully and wrote down everything Fu Shiyi said in her notebook.
For this reason, Fu Shiyi was relieved.
I am even more satisfied with Magu’s family.
"I'm going on a long trip in a few days, which can take as little as five or six days, or as long as ten days. If I come back late and it's time for the lotus seedlings to join Lingquan, you can go find Brother Sixteen. During this period when I'm not around Time, if there is anything that cannot be solved in Xiheyuan, you can go to him."
Magu nodded to indicate that she had taken note of it.
Seeing that Fu Shiyi was about to return to Yanyang Courtyard, Fu You, who was staying by Magu's side, couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that his mother had not yet opened his mouth to talk about the errands in Nanshan County, and gave his mother several subtle winks.
But Magu seemed not to have seen her.
He also moved forward intentionally or unintentionally, blocking Fu You behind him.
Fu Shiyi didn't notice the subtle interaction between Magu mother and son. She was looking at the ten acres of spiritual lotus roots that had been planted, imagining that when the lotus flowers were in full bloom next year, the scenery would be charming. When she had time, she would build a path on Xi Lake. The stone bridge with a round center and the pavilion built in the lake are even more beautiful.
When Fu Shiyi turned to leave, he handed a wooden box to Magu:
"There are a few silver star fruits here, which are considered as a housewarming gift for you. From now on, you will regard this as your own home. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask me. We are all members of the eldest family lineage, and the family is not Speak two languages."
After Fu Shiyi finished speaking, she returned to Yanyang Courtyard first. This time she went to Yecheng County, and she had to make some preparations.
Magu Zhengzheng, who stayed where she was, looked at the wooden box in her hand, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Less than a hundred days after his father's death, people frequently came into their home in the middle of the night. For the sake of her own reputation, her mother did not dare to speak out, so she could only hug her and hide in the corner all night long, but her patience did not let those deceitful men give up. Instead, he was brazenly trying to break out of the door.
The moment the mother was dragged away.
She understood that if she wanted to protect herself, she had to be more ruthless than others, so she chopped off the villain's left hand.
From then on, no one dared to harass the mother and daughter at night.
After decades of hard work, she finally got through this day.
"Tick!"
A round teardrop from the corner of Magu's eye fell on the wooden box with a crisp sound.
The eldest son in her family is the oldest. He still remembers vividly the hardships his mother endured in her early years, and turned away with red eyes.
The daughters-in-law of Magu's family who had married outside thought that Magu was crying with joy because she had received the reward from the eleventh aunt, and they all couldn't wait to say:
"Mom, quickly open the wooden box and take a look. There are several Silver Star Fruits inside."
"I have long heard that the Green Plum Spirit Fruit in our clan can be eaten by us mortals. Not only can it cure all diseases, but it can also prolong life. I believe that the effect of this Silver Star Fruit must be similar."
The daughters-in-law couldn't help but regret a little. If they had known that Aunt Eleven had just told them to take the tablets, they should have had the courage to ask Aunt Eleven about the efficacy of this spiritual fruit.
Magu’s husband-in-law was also short-lived.
He left ten children waiting for feeding to Magu and perished.
Magu had finally managed to raise these children by herself, so the situation at home would not be much better. Therefore, the families of the few daughters-in-law who came into the family were roughly the same as those of Magu. They were barely able to make ends meet and had never even seen what a spiritual fruit looked like, let alone tasted it.
If Magu had accumulated a lot of power on weekdays, they would have taken action long ago.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Magu slowly opened the wooden box. To be honest, she was also curious about how many spiritual fruits were inside.
"Wow!"
"Wow!! Four, there are so many! I thought there was only one Silver Star Fruit! Mom, we are so prosperous now!! Mom..."
Magu glanced at her, and the huffing daughters-in-law immediately silenced themselves.
Fu You's brothers also had eyes shining, staring at the red and beautiful Silver Star Fruits, rubbing their hands happily and saying: "Mom, if all these spiritual fruits are exchanged for money, at least one thousand acres of fertile land can be purchased. Bar?"
With so much land.
Then wouldn’t they suddenly become big landowners? !
Fu You brothers giggled, turned to Fu You and said, "Xiao Qi, if your Mei'er knew that our family had so many spiritual fruits, she might regret it a lot. I heard that Fu Da's sister-in-law's family situation is also different. Just average.”
The humiliation of breaking off the engagement made them unable to hold their heads high in Xicheng.
Now I think about Meier's family's regret.
They felt so relieved!
The tightness that accumulated in my chest finally came out.
Magu's eyes passed over her sons and daughters-in-law one by one, and she felt slightly disappointed. Spiritual fruits were rare, and opportunities that many mortals would never get in several lifetimes would be wasted if they were just exchanged for those yellow and white things. Eleven’s thoughts.
Magu sighed in her heart, turned to look at her youngest son and said:
"Xiao Qi, what do you think should be done with these spiritual fruits?"
Fu You hesitated for a moment, and then said under Magu's encouraging gaze: "Mom, I think we don't have to worry about food or drink now, and we are doing this job in Xihe Garden, so we can't go out easily, and we don't have any money to spend. It’s better to keep this spiritual fruit for the time being in case there is any unforeseen need in the future.”
When the daughters-in-law heard this, their faces immediately showed displeasure!
God knows where the spirit fruit will end up if it is kept here and there. It is better to just sell it for money and share it, so that they can return to their parents' home in glory.
When Magu asked about the other sons, the daughters-in-law winked at their men without leaving any trace, but they didn't expect Magu's sons to be filial:
"Everything depends on your mother."
"You can do whatever you want, mother."
"You all listen to me."
Magu's face showed a look of relief.
Her eyes fell on the bellies of several daughters-in-law.
Although the daughter-in-law she chose was poor, her ancestors had monks, and so did their family. Therefore, she firmly believed that among her descendants, there would be another baby with spiritual roots born.
What she has to do now is to pave the way for the unborn child as smooth as possible.
