Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was so enthusiastic, Du Wanchun was too embarrassed to shirk anymore, so he thanked her very gratefully: "Thank you, mother."
This mother-in-law's cry made Aunt Zhou very angry, "Just wait, the clothes will be ready soon."
After she finished speaking, she called to Zhou Zhao on the side: "Zhao'er, go get the medicine you bought and show your sister-in-law whether it is this."
"Okay! Mom!" Zhou Zhao smiled and moved the rice in, and then took out a few small packets of medicine.
Aunt Zhou took the medicine bag and handed it to Du Wanchun and said, "I don't know if this medicine is right or not. Take a look."
Du Wanchun took it in his hand, smelled it, and said with a smile, "Yes, that's it."
Zhou Zhao on the side was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then let's go to the fields and spray pesticides to see if the crops can still survive!"
Aunt Zhou put down the needle and thread in her hand, nodded and said, "Let's go, go now, wait until the ground is ready, so that I can sew clothes for your sister-in-law." ?.?????.ℂ??
Zhou Zhao turned around and went into the house to get the basket and hoe, with a smile on his face. Since his ears healed, he was more energetic in everything he did.
The group quickly packed up and prepared to go to the fields.
Aunt Zhou originally didn't want Du Wanchun to go, but Du Wanchun insisted on going, so she let her go.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng, one of them had bad legs and feet, and the other could not see, so they stayed at home and helped chop wood for cooking.
By the time Du Wanchun and the others had finished spraying the medicine in the fields, it was already evening.
Aunt Zhou wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the glow coming from the mountainside, her face full of joy. "This is a good sign. Things in the ground grow faster when the weather is good."
Sure enough, as she said, things in this field do grow fast.
The next day, when Aunt Zhou brought Zhou Zhao to the field, she was stunned by the sight in front of her.
The originally yellow and withered rice turned green and seemed to be a little taller than yesterday.
The bok choy and lettuce in the ground have big leaves.
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed when she looked at these vegetables, "The medicine Wan Chun said really works. Look at these vegetables that were originally rotten and came back to life. There is also this little cabbage, which can be picked and eaten today."
After she finished speaking, she knelt down, picked a handful of cabbage leaves and shook them in her hands.
Zhou Zhao nodded and smiled: "Yes, mother, my sister-in-law is really amazing. If it weren't for her, we would have almost dug up all these vegetables!"
As he spoke, he walked to the end of the vegetable field to see what other vegetables there were. Suddenly he saw a lot of leaves growing in the open space next door, "Mom, look!"
Aunt Zhou heard the sound and walked over, only to see radish leaves growing in the field that was originally filled with stones.
"It's really strange, something is actually growing in this land!"
When they bought this good land, they were deceived into buying the bad land next door. The bad land was full of hard rocks and they couldn't dig it even if they wanted to.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the fields to see radishes growing!
This made the Zhou family's mother and son stunned.
Zhou Zhao hurriedly walked to the radish field, grabbed the leaves and pulled out a radish. The radish was not big in size, had dark pink red skin, was round, and looked delicious.
Aunt Zhou looked at it with a puzzled look on her face, "Is it possible that this land was cultivated by your aunt and others?"
While peeling the radish, Zhou Zhao replied: "No way, if they knew there was this good land next to our land, how could they give it back to us so easily."
Aunt Zhou really couldn't figure it out and said in confusion: "Then what's going on?"
Zhou Zhao had studied in school, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any reason. Finally, he found a reason, "Mom, maybe this land has been abandoned for a long time and has gradually become fertile. Plus, no one is taking care of it. That’s why these radishes grew.”
Aunt Zhou was dubious and stared at the carrot for a while.
Zhou Zhao took a bite of the radish. It was crunchy and sweet, just like the fruit in July, which is very delicious. "Mom, come and try it. This radish is so delicious, just like the crab apple we used to eat."
Begonia fruit is a small red-skinned fruit. There are no people in the village here, and usually only wealthy families can eat it.
"Really?" Aunt Zhou was full of curiosity, so she also pulled out a round radish, peeled it and took a bite.
There is a lot of juice in the radish, which is sweet and thirst-quenching when you bite it. There is no spicy taste from the radish, but there is a refreshing fragrance of fruit.
She quickly took a few more bites and chewed them carefully in her mouth.
