The Su Feng family loaded up the fertilizer and started working in the fields with the hoe. Men work quickly, and Su Ping and Su An were both young men. They picked up the hoe and carried it a few times to get a hug.
Su Feng and Li Sanmei were fertilizing and leveling the soil behind them, and soon they caught up with Zhu Xiuyun.
Su Qing looked at their family of four, and then at her lonely grandmother. She had to grow up quickly.
Looking at the wild flowers in her hand, she remembered that dandelions and rehmannia glutinosa [sweet wine capsules] were both traditional Chinese medicines that could cure diseases, so she simply dug some of them back, washed them and made tea.
There are not many rehmannia glutinosa seeds, and the roots required by rehmannia glutinosa are both kinds of wild vegetables that have the effect of cooling blood and detoxifying. Does grandma know?
Anyway, it’s okay, I found a branch and started digging!
While Zhu Xiuyun was working in the fields, she could chat with her siblings. She didn't have much land for herself, so she finished fertilizing it in less than an hour.
Start squatting down to pull weeds again. As soon as the grass appears, it must be pulled out, otherwise it will absorb all the nutrients and the crops will not grow well.
"Sister-in-law, what are Mingjuan's plans for the future? Will she continue to live in the Li family's house with Qingqing after the Li family leaves, or will she move back home?"
"I haven't asked her yet. I have to wait until the Li family moves out. Mingjuan is in a very bad mood and has not accepted the fact of divorce yet. Let her take it easy!"
Li Sanmei nodded, "Yes!"
In these mountain people, couples rarely get divorced. They all live together for the rest of their lives.
"By the way, sister-in-law, it turns out Qingqing can talk,"
Zhu Xiuyun is happy when she mentions Qingqing,
"Yes, in the morning at Li's house, he quietly asked me how much it costs to eat and how much it costs to go to school a year.
I just realized that this child is very smart. She has been able to speak for a long time, but she was too scared to speak by Zhang Liying at the Li family. "
"I think so. That woman is not a good person. She has been in our village for ten years and has not been able to reform her."
"Okay, let's not talk about them. They will leave in a few days anyway, and we will never see them again in our lifetime. Bichen Star is far away from us! It is separated by several galaxies."
"But sister-in-law, the life in the mid-level galaxy is definitely better than our dream moon star. You haven't seen it on TV. Everyone is dressed neatly, shuttling between high-rise buildings, and everyone drives a speeding car.
The children can also receive a better education and have decent jobs when they grow up. They are not like us who have to work in the fields all day long and ask Mingjuan and her daughter to give up. Will they regret it in the future? "
"What do you regret? The Li family doesn't like Mingjuan at all. Li Mubai wanted to have a daughter-in-law to take care of the whole family. How could that family ever treat her like a family member?"
Zhu Xiuyun and his wife saw it very clearly, but unfortunately their daughter just refused to understand.
"That's the same reason."
When they reached the end of the field while talking, Zhu Xiuyun patted the dirt on his body and said, "Third sister, I'm going back. I'm going to water the wheat tomorrow afternoon. Where's your house?"
"Our family also watered wheat in the afternoon, and we happened to be doing it together. The five of us can definitely take care of our several acres of land."
Li Sanmei hurriedly irrigated the fields with her sister-in-law so that she could take care of her. Otherwise, farming would be very hard for a woman.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Zhu Xiuyun resisted the hoe and walked out of the field. She knew what her brothers and sisters meant, so she wanted to relax herself. She would not be polite to the whole family.
Su Qing's children worked hard to dig dandelions and rehmannia glutinosa, and there was already a small pile.
"Qingqing, why are you digging these weeds? You can't eat them."
"Grandma, does your stomach hurt after eating wild vegetables?"
"That's not true. If you eat it once in a while, it won't kill you. You can't eat too much. Even if you eat less of the grains and vegetables grown outside, it's okay. But if you eat it every day, you'll get upset and make your whole body feel angry. That's why you have to plant energy in it. It won’t be so explosive through energy filtering.”
"Oh," Su Qing still had many questions,
Zhu Xiuyun is not a teacher, and she only vaguely understands many of them. She herself cannot understand them. She has only heard about the professional terms such as energy and genetic modification, and has no understanding of the superpowers.
Anyway, the people of Shanquan Village have lived like this for generations, knowing what to eat will not cause any problems.
"You have a lot to learn. When you go to school, the teacher will teach you. Grandma doesn't understand many things."
Su Qing hummed, she could only wait until she grows up to go to school and learn about the world slowly. It feels very interesting.
"Grandma, I can take these home, wash them and dry them, then soak them in water and drink them. Just drink a little every day and you'll be fine."
"Ah, yes, we Qingqing are really sensible, we have to worry about food and drink at such a young age."
Zhu Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately that the child was afraid that he would have nothing to eat and would be hungry.
"Thank you, grandma," Su Qing smiled and put the two kinds of wild vegetables into the cart.
Zhu Xiuyun treated it as a game for children. Who didn't play house, wash and cook when they were young?
After returning home, Su Qing found a small basin to wash wild vegetables in the kitchen. Zhu Xiuyun did not dampen the child's playfulness, but took a bucket of water and placed it next to her, so that Su Qing could not reach the faucet.
Su Qing's little hands were only the size of tea cup lids, working hard to clean dandelions and rehmannia root. She asked her grandmother for a flat bamboo basket, put the wild vegetables in, and dried them in the yard.
Zhu Xiuyun changed her clothes, found all the dirty clothes at home, and sat in the courtyard to wash clothes.
Looking at the busy Qingqing, I think about how happy the family of three was when my daughter was a child, laughing and laughing every day. Now that her husband is dead and my daughter looks like she has no life left, my heart breaks into a ball.
"Qingqing, we are going to town tomorrow and it is not convenient to take you with us. Can you stay at home alone? I will let Meng Hang play with you and let Meng Hang have dinner at our house at noon. I will prepare it for you and let Meng Hang put aside the pot. You can eat it when it’s hot inside.”
"Okay, grandma, please don't lock us in the house, okay? We can continue to dig wild vegetables in the fields,"
"Okay, but you two are not allowed to go to the river or those dangerous places in the mountains."
Su Qing happily agreed: "I know, grandma, I'm not a child."
She thought to herself, I am several decades old and don’t have much social experience, but I have no problem living independently.
"Haha, you kid,"
Zhu Xiuyun looked at Qingqing like an adult and smiled. Qingqing was very different from other children. She was so sensible and scary. It was Zhang Liying who scared the child.
Su Qing is so well-behaved and obedient that it makes people feel distressed. What kind of environment can make a child less than three years old develop such a temperament.
Mingjuan doesn't know how to be a mother. Does she only have Li Mubai in her heart?
He can't even take good care of his own daughter. Look at Meng Hang's round face, her arms and legs are so fleshy, and look at Qing Qing, her little arms are like sticks and straw. It's obvious that she doesn't have enough nutrition.
Su Qing was happy and was looking for a chance to take a tour of the village. Tomorrow would be a good opportunity, and the little fat man was not easy to fool.
It was very hard for her to endure it. Although she was already several decades old, she still had to pretend to be innocent and childish. If she didn't pay attention, she would reveal her mature demeanor and actions. Fortunately, the original owner Qingqing was a child who never spoke. It was best to remain silent. cover.
After Zhu Xiuyun finished washing her clothes, she took Su Qing to the planting field, fed the pigs and chickens, picked all the mature vegetables, put them in a basket, and took them to the town early tomorrow morning to sell.
Su Qing noticed that Zhu Xiuyun fed pigs and chickens only feed, which was not like raising pigs in rural areas on earth, where feed was mixed with wild vegetables. It’s better not to talk too much, and if you have any questions, observe more, and you can try it out if you have the opportunity in the future.
For dinner, Zhu Xiuyun made tomato and egg soup, a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of paste.
Su Qing gradually got used to such a staple food, and she had to eat it no matter how unpalatable it was, otherwise she would be hungry and would not be able to swallow a mouthful of wood residue unless it was ground into a paste.
But why does grandma make all the food into a paste and can't eat a little and cook a little? Is it so convenient?
