There were a lot of wild vegetables in February. In addition to the mother-in-law, they also dug mustard greens and wormwood. It was a bumper harvest.
However, Ling Bao still prefers to poach Granny Ding, Granny Ding is a good thing!
Mustard greens can be steamed and eaten, and wormwood can be used to make steamed buns and pancakes. Although they are a bit rough, they are still delicious.
After returning home, Ling Bao trotted to the main room. Cheng Zhongqian was holding a book and reading eagerly. There was a bowl of water beside him and he drank half of it.
Just right!
Without saying a word, Ling Bao went out again with a small basket. He went to the kitchen and scooped a ladle of water into the basin. He took a mother-in-law plant and frowned, thinking, would one plant be enough?
It’s definitely not enough, this is a good thing, the more the better!
So Lingbao took two more plants and threw them into the basin to wash away all the mud on them.
When I put my hand in, Lingbao trembled, it was so cold!
It had been a long time since she had touched such icy cold water, and her hands were about to freeze off!
"Hey..." Cheng Yun exclaimed.
Why did you just soak your hand in cold water without paying attention?
Ling Bao still smiled stupidly: "Wash my mother-in-law and make some water for my father to drink."
"Soak in water? Isn't this a wild vegetable?"
"It's also a medicinal material." Ling Bao's delicate eyebrows almost flew up, and he was obviously very happy, "The king said that it can clear away heat and detoxify, and is very suitable for people like dad who have strong liver fire."
Cheng Yun raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.
Wild vegetables that look ordinary and are often regarded as weeds are actually medicinal materials!
Even a young and mature person like Cheng Yun couldn't help but admire him.
Cheng Yun stretched out his hand and washed the three budding plants cleanly. Lingbao took them and ran to the main room impatiently.
He ran to the door and stepped softly, so as not to disturb dad.
Like a little mouse, she sneaked up to the bowl and put a fresh whole cypress plant into it.
Then the second strain, and the third strain.
The whole bowl was covered with granola, and the water was almost invisible.
Lingbao waited obediently for a while and couldn't help it anymore. She really wanted her father to drink it quickly.
Xiao said softly: "Daddy, drink some water."
Cheng Zhongqian didn't think much, reached for the water bowl, eyes still glued to the book, and opened his mouth.
"...Poof!" Cheng Zhongqian looked at the "weeds" in the bowl in horror, "What is this?!"
He glared at Ling Bao fiercely: "What did you do?"
Ling Bao picked up the table and asked excitedly: "Hmm, Ling Bao put it there. Daddy, does it taste good? Do you feel better? Please hurry up..." Drink a little more.
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Zhongqian poured the water out. There was a wet streak of water at the door, and three vines fell miserably to the ground. One plant fell at Cheng Zhongqian's feet, and he kicked it away in disgust.
"Can't you see that I'm reading? Do you have to disturb me? It's not enough for Da Lang Erlang to accompany you, can you stop so much trouble?" Cheng Zhongqian's eyes were impatient, and his face was full of suppressed irritability.
He didn't understand this passage thoroughly, and it was always like a veil between them, making him confused.
Ling Bao got down from the table, instinctively pinched her fingers, and took a step back. Her eyes blinked uneasily, and tears soon welled up in her eyes, but she resisted them from falling. She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to scream.
"Daddy", but didn't dare to speak.
Cheng Zhongqian's face was full of boredom: "Get out."
Ling Bao looked at a loss. She wanted to stay here, but she was afraid that her father would be angry.
After thinking about it for a while, she plucked up the courage and said, "Dad, I didn't want to disturb you. Drinking this water is good for your health..."
Under Cheng Zhongqian's cold eyes, Ling Bao stopped speaking. She realized sadly that her father did not believe her words.
But why? Doesn’t daddy not hate her anymore?
Last time Han Dahu's father and Wu Niang came to visit, they didn't even kick her out.
Under Cheng Zhongqian's close gaze, Lingbao walked out of the main room dejectedly. As soon as she stood up, the door was closed behind her.
Ling Bao looked at the closed door and wiped away his tears in frustration.
"Lingbao, why are you standing outside?" Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi came out of the kitchen and saw the lonely little figure at the door.
"Didn't you say that you want to make Dingshui for daddy?"
Ling Bao raised a smile: "I gave it."
Cheng Yun was keenly aware that her eyes were slightly red. After so many months of maintenance, the little girl's skin had improved a lot and was fair and fair, so the redness was obvious.
"Why are your eyes red?" Cheng Yun had a clever mind. The door was still open just now. He frowned, "Did dad scold you?"
Cheng Yi took a closer look and was shocked: "It's really red!"
Lingbao shook her head quickly and said guiltily: "No, I disturbed daddy from studying."
Having said that, she felt that she was indeed wrong.
Daddy is right to be upset because he was disturbed. He certainly doesn't hate her.
"When Daddy finishes reading the book, I will go and apologize to Daddy." Lingbao clenched his fists to encourage himself, "Lingbao knows he made a mistake and will not do it again in the future."
Cheng Yun first boasted that acknowledging mistakes can greatly improve things, and then asked about what happened. Ling Bao said, both in words and in words, he took the blame on himself.
Cheng Yun didn't say anything. If you really want to tell the truth, both of you are at fault. I'm just a human being, so I can't say it directly.
He could only say to Ling Bao: "Dad, he is in a bad mood. He did not lose his temper with you on purpose."
Unexpectedly, Ling Bao agreed and said, "I know, dad is very angry."
Ahem, that's true.
Lingbao went to the house to look for the king. She also wanted to know what other uses Granny Ding had.
Cheng Yun then opened the door and went in with Erlang.
Cheng Zhongqian was lying on the bed, facing the wall, and did not turn around when he heard the sound.
"Dad." Cheng Yun called.
Cheng Zhongqian didn't move, and mocked: "Are you here to seek justice for your good sister?"
Cheng Yi was careless and complained: "Dad, you are going too far. You should be gentler to the little girl. Ling Bao will cry."
Cheng Zhongqian glared: "You unfilial son, get out of here!"
"I'm telling the truth." Cheng Yi was dissatisfied, "Dad, you don't know, Ling Bao said it was her fault and she shouldn't have disturbed your study."
"Isn't it?" If he dared to say otherwise, he would expel him from the house on the spot!
"Yes. But, after such a comparison, you can tell the difference." Cheng Yi spread his hands and said, "You are not a child with an open mind."
Cheng Zhongqian: "..."
Cheng Yun put his fist against his lips to cover his smile, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Dad, Ling Bao also has good intentions. That's the mother-in-law we dug. It clears away heat and detoxifies. She knows that you have been very angry recently, so she specially cleaned it and gave it to you."
You drink it by soaking it in water."
Cheng Zhongqian was a little uncomfortable, but it seemed that he didn't know the difference between right and wrong.
"No one makes tea like that. Just throw the tea leaves into the water. That's just cold water."
He thought Ling Bao was being naughty and deliberately gave him weeds to eat. Coupled with the fact that his homework progress had stagnated recently, he naturally exploded.
