Early the next morning, An Ran got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After eating, the father and son set off.
Before An Ran could finish cleaning up, Sister Chen, Sister Liu and Sister-in-law of the Chen family came over.
"I heard Aunt Ding say two days ago that the eldest grandma is coming back. You have been away for three months. I heard some noise here last night, so I guessed that the eldest grandma is back."
Chen Erlang's daughter-in-law said cheerfully and looked around, "Why don't I see the little stone?"
"Going out with his father." An Ran said with a smile.
Sister Chen moved out two bamboo chairs, and several people sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun and chat. ?.?????.???
This feels the most comfortable, and you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing, or having someone care about what you say.
Sister Chen made a pot of tea for several people, An Ran winked at Sister Chen, and Sister Chen quietly returned to the side room.
I prepared several copies of the things I brought back for several friends I had made friends with. These were all prepared by An Ran and Sister Chen, so Sister Chen knew exactly who to give and what to give.
When leaving, each person was given a bag of candy, a piece of cloth, and snacks to bring back.
After everyone left, Sister Chen quietly said to An Ran, "I heard that Aunt Hua is not feeling well during this period, otherwise she would definitely come over."
An Ran thought for a while and said, "You can go with your things. Originally, it would be best for Xiao Shitou. Aunt Hua has loved him since he was a child, but he doesn't know how busy he will be, so you go first."
After taking the things, Sister Chen went to the village and came back with a bag of vegetables.
"Aunt Hua gave it to me. She told me to take it back no matter what. She said that since we just came back, the things at home must not be that complete."
Back then, Aunt Hua sent Sister Chen to Anran, which gave Sister Chen a way out. Therefore, Sister Chen has been very grateful to Aunt Hua for so many years.
The two of them were sitting in the yard picking vegetables, and An Ran said: "I thought about it, yesterday I wanted to send two girls over, but I really don't want the kind of girls who come from a big house, they are too ill-intentioned. Why don't you move here? , as long as you are keeping me company, there is no need to add more people."
Of course Sister Chen knows that being a girl in a big house is not that easy, and she can't get along well if she is careless, so she doesn't like living in the Ding family anymore, and is exhausted.
"Okay, then I'll move here in two days. I'll help Aunt Ding clear out the vegetable patch in the yard first, otherwise I'll have to run in both directions."
"Then come here when you're done. I'll feel more comfortable if we stay together here."
"Grandma, we have to hurry up in the medicine field. Aunt Ding and Uncle Ding have been helping to straighten the ground slowly during this period. When we have time, we will go and take a look. All the medicines and seedlings that need to be replenished must be replenished."
"That's not all. We also saved some of the seeds of the medicinal herbs that my uncle bought last year. We will plant more varieties this year and ask the village chief to talk to the villagers. We will provide seeds to those who are willing to plant them near the mountains. Then we will harvest them all. "
After saying that, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. "As long as they can make more money, the villagers will definitely not be lazy. They are much better than the two of us."
Sister Chen smiled, "Of course they will be happy if we can make money and keep the harvest during droughts and floods, but we have collected so much, have we used it?"
"He said that the army can consume a lot of it. Even if it is not used, we can't pay for it if it is sold to a pharmacy."
When Ding Changhe was injured, he tried it himself and took it back to the injured soldiers to use. Although the effect is not much better than Tianqi, it cannot stand up to its low price, so Enron will continue to plant vigorously this year.
Since he could help Ding Changhe and make money at the same time, An Ran naturally agreed.
But An Ran didn't expect that Ding Changhe and Xiao Shitou would not come back for more than ten days after leaving. I just asked Dashan to come over and send a message, saying that he would be back after finishing his work for this period of time.
An Ran couldn't help complaining that she and her son hadn't even gotten along for two days. Even though they were back, there was still no one around.
Besides, Ding Changhe's injuries were not completely healed yet, so she was so busy that she didn't know how he persisted.
However, An Ran felt more at ease when he was away. In the past ten days, she had organized the small house and the vegetable plot here, and planted rapeseeds.
The two of them tidied up the medicinal fields and sprinkled medicinal seeds or seedlings.
The foot of the mountain suddenly became lively, with people coming and going every day.
After the village chief finished talking to the villagers, the villagers were naturally happy to put in a little more effort and don't have to pay rent. As long as they collected the seedlings and gave them to the Ding family's grandma, they would get money, so people were very enthusiastic. All very high.
In order to prevent people from quarreling over land for various medicinal materials, the head of the village asked the young man to move into the mountain.
The older ones are at the bottom of the mountain, and the younger ones are walking inward. Chinese medicinal materials are not like growing food. They don’t need to be taken care of. You just need to come here regularly to harvest or replenish the seedlings.
No one objected to this decision.
More than ten days later, Ding Changhe and Xiao Shitou came back.
As soon as Xiao Shitou got off his horse, he rushed to his mother: "Mom, my father abused me. Mom needs to give me a lot of nourishment. I'm starving and thin."
An Ran patted her son and shook her head.
Ding Changhe was also speechless. Xiao Shitou behaved well outside and spoke and acted appropriately. As soon as he sees his mother at home, he immediately shows his true colors. He is so old and even acts like a spoiled child.
Just when Ding Changhe couldn't help but kick him away, Xiao Shitou was very clever and went back to the backyard to wash up.
An Ran covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Why do you always care about a child? He doesn't act like this outside. Besides, there are no outsiders in the courtyard. In two or three years, it won't be possible for him to think like this."
"My child, no matter how old he is, you always treat him as a child."
