In the lean months, rely on wild vegetables to save your life.
Shepherd's purse, big ear hair, small root garlic, thorn sprouts...
She doesn't have to farm this year, so Cheng Xue is happy to take it easy and go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables to relax.
Yan Yixin and Li Heng both went to the fields to plow in the spring and rest in the autumn harvest school. Li Hui taught them for an hour every night as before.
"Tangtang, remember to hang up the courtyard door. Mom and your mother-in-law Dong San are going to dig vegetables."
"I know, mother."
Mr. Geng next door heard the sound and hurriedly said:
"From the Huizi family, take me with you."
"Okay."
Cheng Xue had a lot of things to do, so she and Geng met up with Xu. Unexpectedly, Yang was also there. The four of them discussed it and decided to go to the forest farm on the back mountain in the west of the village. All the wild vegetables nearby had been dug up, and it was futile to look for them again. p>
Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked. Passing by the house in the west of the village, Geng pulled Cheng Xue down and said:
"Girl, if you grow vegetables in winter, can you be considered an aunt?"
After the house was purchased and the red deed was completed, Cheng Xue no longer kept it secret. Several companies with whom they had good relations had all said hello and asked them to come and help in the winter.
"Don't worry, Auntie, no one else has to take you, you can't run away."
Geng smiled and nodded. Her state was completely different from before. Fortunately, she had a carefree personality, otherwise she would definitely have suppressed her illness.
Everyone dug while walking. Geng's basket was small and filled up quickly. She only dug her own share, and she only dug shepherd's purse. She gave everything to Yang and Cheng Xue, such as Po Po Ding, Ku Long Ya, etc.
, Xu and others.
When she was tired, she found a big tree to sit down and rest. Cheng Xue calculated the due date of Si Zhu's wife and said:
"Sister-in-law, does Si Zhu know that his wife is pregnant? Will she be able to come back when she gives birth?"
"Can't come back." Yang shook her head, "I think she is a baby this time, different from when she was pregnant with Trini."
"Whatever happened before, you tell my aunt, and she will help you figure it out."
"Oh, aunt, can you still do this?" Cheng Xue was surprised.
"What's the problem? Old people can do it. Seventy-seven and forty-nine, ask your mother when she was born. Subtract the year of your mother's birth and fill in 19. If you are single, you will be a boy, if you are even, you will be a girl..."
Geng muttered a lot, and Yang wanted to count on his fingers, but he didn't know the specific age or day.
A few people chatted for a while and continued to dig vegetables. When they returned to the village, they saw carriages entering the village.
A rough count, at least six. Who is so generous and capable?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard——
"Sister-in-law Li Hui? It's really you!"
Cheng Xue turned her head when she heard the sound, what a good guy, it turned out to be Lian.
"You brought it all?"
Mrs. Lian nodded, "My family asked my husband to take the hospital examination and the provincial examination this year before going back. I remember my sister-in-law mentioned that you live here. It happened that the school here was short of teachers, so my husband came. Sister-in-law, my husband has arrived, and asked Brother Li Hui to come over.
Well, let’s keep them company.”
Cheng Xue stared in disbelief when she heard this. Lian kept nodding her head to confirm that she heard correctly.
What's this, handing me a pillow when I'm sleepy?
"This... what do you say to your husband, Master?"
"Of course my husband has no objection. If it weren't for your wonderful rejuvenation, he would definitely not be able to get the ranking this time. If he fails to pass the college examination, his father-in-law and uncle will come back and beat him.
The master also has opinions, but he just said that he wants to take a test first. I think brother Li Hui is fine, and my sister-in-law doesn’t need to worry. We will all live here in the future, and I will visit my sister-in-law’s house then, okay?”
"Okay, it must be okay. Do you still need to ask?" Cheng Xue raised the corner of her mouth and responded, "My house is very easy to find. It's right over there, with a red painted gate. It's the only one in the village."
Regardless of whether this thing can happen in the end, since someone has extended an olive branch, it must be followed up, and it must be firmly accepted.
"Okay, then I'll go back to organize things first, and then I'll go find my sister-in-law when I'm done."
"Well, you're busy."
Looking at Lian's back, Cheng Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, admiring her social skills. She has only been here for a long time, and she speaks in such a down-to-earth manner without any airs.
Geng and others waited for her to leave and came over one after another.
Without them asking, Cheng Xue directly informed Lian's identity and Zhou Fei's family background. There was no need to hide this, as they had never thought of keeping a low profile, otherwise they wouldn't have brought so many carriages into the village.
After listening to her introduction, Yang couldn't help but nodded and said:
"With such a big background, that guy Li Qingnian was prepared for nothing."
"What are you preparing for?" Cheng Xue asked.
The Guo family lived close to the school. When Li Fang was alive, his family lived behind the school. It was very large and spacious, and it was no less than the second largest house in the county.
Yang smiled and told all the tricks Li Qingnian had prepared, and all the women laughed and shook their heads.
If it were an ordinary scholar, he would probably be scared away. But for the person who came today, it would be nice if people didn’t cause trouble to him. How could he be scared away? Ridiculous!
"I really look forward to Li Qingnian being defeated." Mrs. Xu curled her lips and muttered.
In fact, not only she is looking forward to it, but everyone is looking forward to it, including Cheng Xue.
That boy used to bully the original couple so much, but now he behaves well and behaves with his tail between his legs. They can't go and find trouble, but the resentment in their hearts cannot be dissipated.
Cheng Xue handed the basket to Geng and asked her to help take it home, and then went straight to the field. Although Yan Yixin's thirty acres of land was given to Guo Dake, he had to take it with him when plowing the land. After all, there was too much land.
,Too busy.
We hired ten capable and down-to-earth people to plow the land. For five coppers a day, regardless of food, they belong to the village. We can’t go to the forest farm to work, and we don’t have much land at home. It’s best to find a place to earn some money to supplement the family income.<
/p>
Cheng Xue found Li Hui and told him everything about Zhou Fei coming to the village to be his master, and about his homework assignments.
"...Listen to her, as long as you pass the exam, you can study with her. The wife the Zhou family is looking for is definitely capable. You can go and try it. You don't need to farm the land, I will do it. With so many people, it is enough.
I’ll try out the farm tools I ordered to see if they work.”
They are all commonly used tools in modern farming, such as hand-pushed roller seeders, furrowing triangular hoe, hand-pulled plows, soil filling buckets...
When I went to the countryside for a free clinic, I saw old farmers farming, and they were all semi-mechanized. Many farming methods were magical and useful, and I asked specifically about them at the time.
Li Hui raised his hand, put it in front of her and said:
"Give me some money, and I'll go to town and buy the cows and cars, and take a look at how the farm tools are made."
Cheng Xue patted his hand, rolled her eyes speechlessly and said:
"I just came back from digging vegetables. I don't have any money on me. I can go home and get it myself. Also, from now on, put some money in your pocket and don't keep asking for it from me. Do you still want every penny you spend in modern times?"
Li Hui stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and whispered in her ear:
"I don't get what I pay for, but my dad does."
Before Cheng Xue could react, the man had already left. Looking at his back, Cheng Xue felt her face feel inexplicably hot.
She's not stupid, how could she not know what he meant?
Go ahead, tease hard, and see who knocks whom down in the end...
