Chapter 147 147. Like the sun breaking through the night
A group of people had a super comfortable breakfast and praised the seventh cousin's cooking skills. However, the seventh cousin himself was very dissatisfied:
"We've gone back to the countryside, why do we still need to buy vegetables every now and then?" Look at how clean the kitchen is, and how barren the vegetable fields are.
Then there is nothing we can do about it!
During this lean season, if you don’t buy vegetables, is it possible to eat lettuce, garlic sprouts and Chinese cabbage every day?
The seventh cousin said critically: "The season is wrong, and the black and white vegetables are already bitter."
During the Chinese New Year period, I boiled the cabbage cabbage and it tasted sweet.
Seeing that everyone had eaten and drank enough, Qiao Qiao happily piled the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, washed them slowly and carefully, and was still humming:
"Just like the sun breaks through the night, the dawn quietly crosses the horizon..."
Song Tan listened again and again, and always felt that something was not quite right.
Then she remembered: This seemed to be Ultraman's theme song! But——
"Song Qiaoqiao!" She asked: "You can sing now. How many episodes did you watch yesterday?"
Qiao Qiao blinked, then quickly turned back and said loudly: "Qiao Qiao is washing the dishes, so be serious."
Well, let’s just say that yesterday I went into the bedroom and reluctantly came out after dinner. I didn’t know how many episodes I watched in one go!
Grandma Qi was filled with joy when she saw how well-behaved and obedient Qiao Qiao was. She quickly said, "Children, what's wrong with watching a few episodes of cartoons? I don't believe you didn't hold a TV when you were a child."
Song Tan fell silent.
At that time, I asked which child wished he could live in the TV!
Just as he was about to say something more, the seventh cousin had already rummaged through a basket and asked, "Are there any designated dishes for lunch?"
Ulan quickly said: "No, no, cousin, we will eat whatever you do, we are not picky eaters."
Now that she was freed from three meals a day, she was tying a basket to her waist and preparing to pick tea. Not to mention picking, she just wanted to clap her hands and celebrate.
The seventh cousin nodded:
"Then I'll go for a walk around the area and see what I can eat."
There are wild vegetables in the back mountain, but the spiritual energy was generated early, and now he is a bit old. Song Tan opened his mouth to remind, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to cook, so he should leave the professional things to professionals.
So while helping to pack and weigh the hundreds of kilograms of bamboo shoots dug out yesterday, I also greeted Qiaoqiao: "I watched a few more episodes of cartoons yesterday. I have to work more and perform well today."
Qiaoqiao was shaking her head and singing to the climax——
"...A new storm has emerged, how can we stand still...I will come to you!"
After he hummed this string of lyrics, he nodded heavily and picked up the topic: "Okay."
Song Tan:......
You sang for more than a minute before answering, how can you be sincere?
Zhang Yanping on the side had eaten a little too much in the morning and was walking in the yard with a full belly, teasing three little local dogs with his feet. Not to mention how harmonious he was.
Song Tan thought for a while: "Brother Yan Ping, there hasn't been much work lately. Do you want to go home?"
Originally, I wanted to help someone with labor reform (cheating them into labor), but I didn’t expect that Zhang Yanping had a lot of connections and could help a lot.
How embarrassing it would be to leave people to do farm work now!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yanping waved his hands repeatedly as if being pricked by a needle: "No, no, no, I will take root in the countryside and contribute to rural construction!"
Is it just a contribution like walking around after eating every day?
Song Tan expressed doubts.
However, he heard Zhang Yanping's cell phone ding. He opened it and the loud voice from his mother Wu Fang echoed throughout the yard:
"Yanping! When is the civil service exam this year? I heard people say that you have to take a training class. Ask around. If you can't go back to the city, you can also sign up for a class!"
Zhang Yanping replied without hesitation:
"No, Mom, I can also review at my aunt's place. I can take root in the countryside and learn to strengthen my country, which will be beneficial to interviews."
After saying that, he stuffed his cell phone into his pocket and continued walking around the yard.
Fortunately, Ulan had already walked a long way with the basket, otherwise she would never have lied like this openly - still taking root in the countryside and learning to strengthen the country? He is not as good as Qiao Qiao in farming!
However, even though Brother Yanping keeps yelling about not working every day, when it comes time to help, he doesn't have much time to spare.
I don't even want to go back to study. I really don't know how he passed the 211 exam before.
That is to say, isn’t there a little fun in learning?
She carried the bamboo shoots into the car and planned to leave after Qiao Qiao finished washing the dishes. The seventh cousin looked at the gloomy sky and couldn't help but nodded: "You planted the trees and vegetables yesterday well, and the season is good."
As the saying goes, "If you wake up from the sting of insects, you can plant some melons, but they will not produce empty flowers."
Plant melons during the Qingming Festival and load the boats and carts.”
After the seventh cousin muttered, he still felt dissatisfied:
"I think you still have some space at the base of the wall. Why don't you plant some pumpkins? When they bloom, I'll fry them for you."
Isn't this simple?
Song Tan agreed: "It can be planted not only in front of and behind the house, but also on the slopes of the edges of fields. I will tell my dad later."
The seventh cousin nodded, remembering the pitiful past when he had to grow cabbages in the cracks of bricks, and then looked at the huge basket in his hand, filled with pride in his heart——
"Who is that? Young man Yanping, let's go find some food together."
"Are you still hooking up with the Sophora japonica flowers?"
Zhang Yanping is in high spirits.
The seventh cousin snorted: "No matter how good the food is, you can't eat it every day. It's just a taste of something new - I'm going to find something different."
He has been rushing back and forth to this village in recent years, and rarely visited this leisurely. Now he and Grandma Qi were pointing at the various fields and mountains, and the memories of a lifetime have been here.
When passing by the bamboo forest, he sighed: "This bamboo is really full of vitality. No wonder the bamboo shoots tasted so good yesterday."
But after eating it yesterday, he didn't plan to dig it again today, so he continued to move forward.
When he heard the buzzing sound of bees on the earth embankment bordering the bamboo forest and the pond, his eyes lit up——
"The soup in the morning will be milkvetch rice soup, and at noon let's use rapeseed flowers. Then we'll have a bowl of poached eggs with rapeseed flowers. You can also mix it with wild onions for cold dishes and eat it with rice——"
Since Zhang Yanping returned to his hometown, he has tried various ways of eating everything, which is not surprising at all.
When I heard the menu, I walked directly into the sparse rapeseed flowers and clicked them mercilessly...
Anyway, it's not poetic at all.
Fortunately, the seventh cousin, as a chef, only looks at things to see if they are delicious, and does not make any comments on his rough hands and feet.
Looking down again, there was still a layer of mint growing on the edge. He frowned, feeling a little distressed:
"It would be fine if I had some chicken blood and mint soup at noon..."
When awakened by the sting of insects, some melons will not bloom.
During the Qingming Festival, melons are planted and the boats are loaded and hauled.
The vernal equinox is early and the Grain Rain is late.
It’s the right time to plant potatoes during the Qingming Festival.
If you want to plant green beans, don’t plant them after Qingming Festival.
To remove the heat, move the cabbage,
We have been inseparable for ten years.
White dew grows onions, cold dew grows garlic.
Plant at the autumn equinox and cover at the beginning of winter.
Eat spinach during the Qingming Festival next year.
Plant green onions at the autumn equinox and use calcium fertilizer at the beginning of winter.
Harvest radishes during the winter solstice and cabbage during light snowfall.
Pull vegetables quickly at the beginning of winter! If you don’t pull them out, you will get hurt.
