"It takes time to come and go. How about I go up the mountain with my mother tomorrow?" Xu Qiaoqiao said worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm a quick walker and will be back early." Zhang Xiaoying waved her hand, picked up a hatchet and went out.
Mrs. Lin pulled Xu Qiaoqiao and said in a low voice: "You'd better not say anything about what my mother wants to do. She doesn't like others to interfere too much, so be careful of getting beaten."
"Ask, you won't get beaten, right?" Xu Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhang Xiaoying's back, unsure.
"You'll know if you try more." Mrs. Lin snorted.
She is very experienced in seeing her man beaten.
All in all, don't talk nonsense about what your mother-in-law wants to do, just do what you are told, and don't make your own decisions if you are unsure. This is the Xu family's way of survival now.
Xu Qiaoqiao has only been home for a day or two. She only knows that my mother is different from before, but she is really not sure about her specific temper.
Zhang Xiaoying quickened her pace, she really didn't want to hear Lin's words every time.
After going up the mountain and making sure that no one was around, Zhang Xiaoying rushed to Pingling Au again.
She walked around the bamboo forest and found no signs of mountain wind activity. She must be really spiritual and understood her words and went deeper into the mountain.
This is good, lest villagers discover it in the future and try to capture it and turn it into snake soup and medicinal materials.
Zhang Xiaoying saw that many more mushrooms were growing, so she picked them all and put them in the space. She also took out potatoes and sweet potatoes. Crops that grew on the ground like corn were too conspicuous, so she didn't plan to take them out like this.
Zhang Xiaoying put the potatoes and sweet potatoes under the basket, covered them with mushrooms, and then went back.
It's mid-March now, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are just about ready to be planted in late March or early April.
As for rice, she has no seeds and really can't do anything.
However, she seems to have information on hybrid rice technology, and maybe she can study it later.
It is said that books are precious treasures of mankind. If she hadn't thought it was a pity to throw away those books and collected them, she wouldn't know where to find them now!
Only culture recorded in writing can be passed down forever.
Zhang Xiaoying packed her things and saw that it was getting late, so she quickly walked down the mountain and returned to the village.
After arriving home, Ms. Lin came over again and vividly recounted what happened to the Zhao family and the Li family in the afternoon.
When Mrs. Xu heard that Li Lanlan was looking for Zhang Xiaoying and threatened Zhang Xiaoying to settle their family, she became furious and rushed to Li's house, pointing at Li Lanlan's nose and yelling curses.
Zhang Xiaoying was not present, but she could still imagine what Xu's mouth could say.
Li Lanlan's mother got into a fight with Mr. Xu, and a lot of her hair was torn off. It was the village chief who finally stopped the farce.
Ms. Xu made it known that she would never let Li Lanlan enter their home.
The climax is here, Zhao Chunbao bluntly said that he wants to marry into the Li family!
"Hahaha, mother, you don't know, Mrs. Xu's face was so wonderful at that time. She probably didn't realize that she actually wanted to force Li Lanlan to join the Zhao family, but Zhao Chunbao stabbed her in the back."
Mrs. Lin clapped her thighs, overjoyed.
"What happened next?" Zhang Xiaoying didn't expect such a development. Zhao Chunbao was really unexpected!
"Later? Mrs. Xu cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, scolding Zhao Chunbao for not being good. Zhao Chunbao went home to pack his luggage and moved into the Li family. Mrs. Xu couldn't stop him."
Lin was imitating the scene while talking, and even Zhang Xiaoying couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
Zhao Chunbao, who was the uncle at home, was very diligent when he went to the Li family. He rushed to do everything. Li Lanlan obeyed Li Lanlan in front of Mrs. Xu, who was so angry that she fainted.
Zhang Xiaoying felt a little regretful not to be able to eat melon on the spot, it was so exciting.
"Then Zhao Chunbao came to our house and warned us, telling us to watch out for the fourth child and not to mess with his women in the future." Ms. Liang suddenly said, "At that time, I and a few children were the only ones at home."
Zhang Xiaoying: "..."
Never expected the series!
"Bad luck." Zhang Xiaoying cursed.
"Mom, I didn't pay attention to him." Mrs. Liang said hurriedly.
"You're pregnant, stay away from those people with abnormal brains to avoid disaster."
"Hey, I know, mother."
Zhang Xiaoying's tone was not very good, but Mrs. Liang was very pleased with it.
Zhang Xiaoying couldn't even figure out what Mr. Liang's attributes were. When he was nice to her, he would make all kinds of mistakes to make people angry. When he had a bad attitude towards her, she calmed down.
Do some people really like being tortured so much?
Zhang Xiaoying was unable to complain.
"Boss."
Zhang Xiaoying shouted towards the door.
"Mom, I'm here, is there anything you want me to do?" Xu Qinglin put down his ax and stepped inside quickly.
After Zhang Xiaoying took out the mushrooms, she handed the basket to Xu Qinglin.
"What is this?" Xu Qinglin took it out and looked at it, looking puzzled.
"The yellow ones are called potatoes, and the red ones are called sweet potatoes. You can just plant these two on the land at Huangshipo." Zhang Xiaoying said, "The harvest should be better than if you planted soybeans."
Xu Qinglin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mom, where did you come from? I have never heard of it, and I have never seen anyone planting it."
"If you are told to do so, you will do so, and I still have to explain everything to you?"
"No, mother, I'm just worried that I can't eat this."
Zhang Xiaoying: "..."
"Forget it, I'll let you try it tonight."
Zhang Xiaoying knew that it was useless to tell them. Only by letting them eat them would they know whether these two things were delicious or not.
"I finally dug this little bit back, and I asked you to waste it again." Zhang Xiaoying babbled and took three potatoes to the kitchen. As for the sweet potatoes, they are inedible. She didn't have many in the first place!
Zhang Xiaoying fried some shredded potatoes for them. After tasting it, they all said they wanted to order more because it was really delicious.
Xu Qinglin said sheepishly: "Mom, I've never eaten it before, and I didn't know it was so delicious. I listen to you. We only grow this potato in Huangshipo, but it's just this little potato, so maybe it's not enough."
Zhang Xiaoying told him how to cut into pieces for planting. While Xu Qinglin was shocked, he felt that the door to a new world had opened. He even asked Zhang Xiaoying a lot of questions.
If Zhang Xiaoying had not read the planting information in advance when she had a plan, she would have been questioned by Xu Qinglin.
But this also made Zhang Xiaoying discover that Xu Qinglin seemed to like studying how to grow crops.
So, she asked some other questions related to planting, and Xu Qinglin answered them one by one, and when Xu Qinglin said these, he had a confidence that Zhang Xiaoying had never seen before.
In one word, there is light in the eyes!
Zhang Xiaoying knew what she should guide Xu Qinglin to do!
Of course, before that, Xu Qinglin had to learn to read, otherwise even if those materials were given to him, he would not know what was written on them.
"Boss, I'll leave these potatoes to you. Mom hopes you can grow potatoes well!" Zhang Xiaoying patted him on the shoulder, "There's nothing wrong with growing crops. You can become number one in any field. Boss, you have the potential to be a crop farmer."
