After Wang Sanmei went to the toilet, she washed her face casually and started making breakfast.
I cooked a large pot of soup as usual.
Su Qing went to the planting field to pick cucumbers and eggplants, fed the pigs and chickens, picked up two eggs, cast rain, watered the vegetable field, and quickly finished the work in the planting field.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Sanmei didn't notice that Qing Qing was missing. More than ten minutes later, Su Qing came back with a small basket.
"Auntie, let's eat cold cucumbers and garlic eggplants. I picked them both."
Sitting in front of the stove fire, Wang Sanmei raised her head and said angrily:
"Qingqing, why did you pick so many energy vegetables? Half of them are enough to eat, and you still have to keep them to sell for money."
Su Qing smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. My uncle and two uncles worked hard last night. It's nothing to eat some food. I'll watch the stove fire. Auntie, go and ask them to come over for breakfast."
Wang Sanmei touched Su Qing's head and said lovingly: "Good boy, you are still young, let us adults do these things from now on."
She got up and washed the vegetables in the basket. She flattened the cucumbers and cut them into cubes, adding salt, vinegar and minced garlic. She also sliced the eggplants and set aside.
When the soup is cooked, put it in a basin and let it cool. Add water to the pot, put the grate on it, and steam the eggplant slices.
Su Qing said that she was watching the fire and asked Wang Sanmei to ask Su Fengyesan to come over for dinner.
The whole family is welcome, just like yesterday, when Zhu Xiuyun called out, Su Feng and his son ran forward and backward, and Wang Sanmei cooked meals for the whole family.
At first she was worried about Qingqing watching the pot, but when she saw her adding firewood in a decent manner, she gave her a few more words,
Then I felt relieved to go home and ask my husband and son to come over for dinner. After dinner, I had to go out to work separately.
Su Qing added a handful of wheat straw to the stove fire from time to time, watching the rising heat.
I sighed in my heart, it was almost the same as in the previous life, my father was gone, my mother ran away, and it was just her and grandma.
Fortunately, she also had an ancestor who taught her how to learn skills much faster than trying to figure it out on her own. She could still live well even if she was left alone.
Just boil the eggplant and steam it for more than ten minutes. When Su Feng's family comes over, it will be ready.
Wang Sanmei didn't let Su Qing help in the kitchen, for fear that she would be burned if she touched her.
After a while, the cucumber salad and garlic eggplant were ready. She brought some pancakes from home. How could their family of four eat all the food from her sister-in-law's house?
Fortunately, we still have the Erhe noodle pancakes she made at home. Although they don’t taste good, they are filling.
The synthetic grain tastes a little different, but the nutrition is still enough. Together with the soup, it is enough to feed the three grown men in the family.
The sound of voices in the outer room finally made Zhu Xiuyun wake up, and when he saw that the sky was bright,
Get up quickly, wash your face, go to the kitchen, help carry things, and blame Wang Sanmei, why don't you call her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to get up early to make breakfast or something, but you should rest at home for a day. You still don't look good."
Zhu Xiuyun said calmly:
"I'm fine. When your eldest brother left, I experienced the feeling that the sky was falling. What else can knock me down in the future? Mingjuan let her go. We still have to live and live. Don't worry. , I’m fine.”
Wang Sanmei put the dishes in her hands on the table with a delighted smile.
"Sister-in-law, it's good that you can think clearly, right? In this world, no one can live without anyone. We can live our lives as usual. Young people, just let her go out and make a living."
Su Qing looked at her grandma and nodded. Compared to yesterday when she learned about Su Mingjuan's elopement and broke down so much that she cried bitterly and fell asleep, grandma was in much better spirits and had figured it out. This was good.
They finished breakfast in silence. In the past, Zhu Xiuyun would chat and laugh with Su Mingjuan at the dinner table.
Su Qing didn't like to talk, but he was very happy to watch. Now Zhu Xiuyun was in a bad mood. Everyone ate in silence and no one spoke.
A depressing atmosphere made Wang Sanmei, who usually liked to talk, extremely uncomfortable. She glanced at her expressionless sister-in-law, then looked at her husband, son, and Xiao Qingqing. As expected of a family, everyone was accustomed to being taciturn, and this was something they could tolerate.
After a silent breakfast, the three men of the Su family went home, took their tools, and went to work in the fields.
Zhu Xiuyun insisted not to rest at home, but to work in the planting fields. Her brother-in-law had three guarantees for the work in the fields. How could he leave all the planting fields to his younger siblings? People in the mountains were not so squeamish and would not work because they were in a bad mood. Nothing.
If her daughter runs away from home, will she cease to live? It's impossible. She has survived even bigger blows, and she will live well.
Wang Sanmei couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to agree. The two of them took Qingqing and went to work in the planting fields together. Life would go on and they would live their lives as they should.
Walking into the planting field of her sister-in-law's family, Wang Sanmei was shocked.
She hasn't been in for a long time, dear, it's lush and green inside, with vegetables grown on trellises, and a small amount of corn, wheat, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
There is nothing unusual about the crops grown, they are available in every household. The key is that they grow so well, it’s like they have taken growth hormones.
Luffa, cucumber, beans, and tomatoes all grow in bunches, so many that they seem to collapse the wooden frame, and the vegetable field has been watered. Who did it?
"Third sister, it's time for me to deliver vegetables to Boss Yang today. Let's pick all the mature vegetables first and deliver them as soon as possible."
"Oh, okay. By the way, have you fed the pigs and chickens at my sister-in-law's house yet?"
"I'll feed them, and you can pick the vegetables."
Su Qing immediately raised her hand, "Grandma, I fed the pigs and chickens in the morning, and I also watered the vegetable fields."
Zhu Xiuyun was not surprised, but Wang Sanmei was stunned. It turned out that Qingqing was really capable. At the age of three, she could feed pigs, chickens, and water the vegetable fields.
She looked at the little girl in surprise, Qingqing was so capable!
"Isn't it surprising? Qingqing is a child who doesn't know what life has been like in the Li family. She is too sensible and rushes to do any job unless she can't do it. Do you remember when Mai Qiu was there? She helped me do a lot of things. "
Wang Sanmei nodded, thinking of Zhang Liying's personality. The Li family didn't like Qingqing. It's easy to imagine what kind of environment the child was in, and he didn't dare to speak until he lived with his sister-in-law.
The two sisters picked vegetables quickly. After finishing their work here, they went to the planting field in the new courtyard to continue picking vegetables. The vegetable field here also grew vigorously.
Wang Sanmei also joked: "Sister-in-law, why do the vegetables you grow grow so well?"
Zhu Xiuyun said casually: "Take good care of it, water it more, fertilize it more, and open the energy stone to the maximum, and it will naturally grow well."
People often ask this question, but she slips out of this set of words.
"Haha, I can't bear to waste the energy stone. I can't blame the whole village for saying you are a great vegetable grower."
Wang Sanmei wanted to make her sister-in-law happy, so she said this as a joke when the villagers were chatting.
But when Zhu Xiuyun and Su Qing heard it, it was like thunder, and their hearts shook.
"The secret recipe for growing vegetables, so this is it, you silly girl,"
Zhu Xiuyun immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears. Wang Sanmei was frightened, so she said it was a joke, but her sister-in-law burst into tears.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry. Did I say something wrong?"
