While they were joking, Xu Suizhu came over with a tea tray of snacks and greeted them on behalf of the fifth aunt: "Mom, aunt, Grandma Qu, what are you talking about! So happy!"
"We were talking about you!" Mrs. Lu couldn't help but laugh, but she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be thin-skinned, so she changed the subject and said, "When will you give us a rat koji facial mask?"
"Oh, yes, I want to try it this year." Xu Suizhu patted his forehead.
During the Qingming Festival last year, she saw the old sage grass being burned into ashes and used as fertilizer for the flowers, vegetables and fruits grown on the island. Some capable family members of the workers also sewed it into moisture-absorbing insoles. She was thinking, in fact, there are still sage grass.
There are many other functions: for example, soaking your feet in the sun can drive away dampness and cold in the body and regulate yin and yang; pound the ash of rat wormwood into a facial mask and apply it on your face, which can clear the meridians, whiten and remove freckles.
She said at that time that she would try the rat herb mask when she had time tomorrow.
It's just that when there are so many things, I forget them.
Fortunately, I didn't miss the season when the sagebrush is in full bloom.
Just do it.
On Saturday, Xu Suizhu and his wife brought their family back to Fuju Island.
Also coming with them were Lin Yujuan, Professor Fan, Xia Mingli and others.
Fuju Island is so beautiful in spring that the flowers are blooming.
"Sister-in-law, I think it's actually quite good to arrange a group wedding here." Lin Yujuan handed her daughter to Mr. Fu, opened her arms, and hugged nature.
"It will be held in a few days. Do you still want to change the venue?" Xu Suizhu looked at her speechlessly, "Aren't you tired enough?"
After saying that, she shook her head. She didn't want to change anymore anyway. Just setting up a campus felt like all her brain cells had been developed in her life.
Thinking about it, she really admires herself!
In my previous life, I was still enjoying the free life of a single person. In this life, I have directly upgraded to become a mother. I have never experienced all the procedures and busyness before marriage. I actually undertook a group wedding with twenty couples in attendance.
The early preparations were pretty decent.
Please call her Xu Wan Neng Suizhu, thank you!!!
"Hey!" Lin Yujuan stuck out her tongue, "I'm tired! But the thought of walking on this green island in the blue sky and blue sea wearing a beautiful wedding dress is so worth remembering for a lifetime! I'm excited for the bride and groom! You guys
Isn’t that right? How beautiful it is here! It’s like a paradise.”
"Is this a paradise? Then when you go to Fuling Island, how do you plan to describe it?" Mr. Fu asked with a smile.
"Say it as if you've been there before." Lin Yujuan rolled her eyes at him.
Mr. Fu also confessed: "I haven't been there, but I have seen the drawings from Brother Xiao, and I thought it was a paradise just by imagining it. Brother Xiao, can I go there this summer?" He turned to ask Lu Chixiao.
"We'll talk about it when I come back." Lu Chixiao said, "Don't bother our Teacher Xu until I come back."
"Yes!" Mr. Fu bared his teeth, "I know you love your wife! I'll give you an award tomorrow - Fjord... No, Yu Pu loves his wife first!"
"puff……"
Everyone burst into laughter.
In spring, everything revives, and Fuju Island welcomes the first batch of harvested species this year - the first strawberries, pineapples, mangoes and sageweed.
So the workers are busy in the orchards and lawns.
The children cheered and headed straight to the strawberry field they had been talking about all the way.
The adults work separately, picking one kind at a time and sharing it among several families. This saves time. Doing the same work in one place can yield many harvests.
Xu Suizhu saw that the children were accompanied by their mother-in-law and aunt to pick strawberries, so she went to the koji garden with peace of mind.
This garden is adjacent to the medicinal garden, so I stopped by Dr. Liu's.
When Dr. Liu saw her coming, he took out the sachet he made in his spare time and asked her to take it back for the children to play with. When the weather gets hot, bring a sachet with Chinese herbal medicine to keep mosquitoes away.
After hearing Xu Suizhu say that she wanted to ask her to go to town, take Aunt Lu's pulse, and prepare some tonic soup suitable for pregnant women to replenish qi and blood, she agreed immediately.
"There's another good thing!" Dr. Liu held out a wooden box with a smile and handed it to Xu Suizhu, "I heard you mention it during the New Year's Eve dinner. I thought that there is no work to do in the new year and I am idle, so I tried
I prepared some. Take a look, is it what you want?"
Xu Suizhu was a little confused at first. When he opened the jar and took a look, he was filled with joy after realizing: "Moxibustion patch!"
On New Year's Eve, everyone got together and chatted while eating melon seeds. When they talked about traveling to Keshan, Sister Lin expressed her feelings and said that it was good to go out for fun, but she was too tired. When she came back, she found that the insteps of her feet were swollen.
Xu Suizhu said casually at that time: swollen insteps may also be caused by excessive moisture in the body. Sister Lin asked her how to treat excessive moisture, and she said moxibustion. She also said that the most convenient thing is foot patch, which can be used while lying down.
She said it casually at the time and forgot about it. Unexpectedly, Dr. Liu kept it in mind and took advantage of the season when moxa leaves were in bloom to come up with the moxibustion foot patch she mentioned.
"Grandma, you are so awesome!"
Doctor Liu laughed heartily: "If that's the case, I'll find some helpers to make more later. You can use these first."
Xu Suizhu was not polite to Doctor Liu either.
Daddy Baozi is about to go on a business trip and will work in a tropical island country in the next month or two. He needs moxa leaf foot patches to help him remove moisture.
"Ah Xiao has to work so far away?" Dr. Liu sighed, "It's hard work" and asked Xu Suizhu, "Have you brought him some medicines that are always available? Those for summer heat, those for diarrhea, those for insect bites... Would you rather take them with you?
Come on, don’t worry if you don’t have any place to look for it.”
"Everything is ready, why don't you trust me while I do the work?"
Doctor Liu laughed and said: "Yes, you are the safest to do things, not to mention you are the man, why do you need someone to remind you."
After sitting with Dr. Liu for a while, Xu Suizhu went to the koji garden to help collect koji leaves.
In fact, mugwort leaves can also be used to make Qingming cakes, and a lot of mugwort is grown in the medicine garden.
The Qingming Cake made from the two herbal medicines looks similar in appearance, and in Xu Suizhu's opinion, the taste is not much different either.
But the locals are accustomed to using rat wormwood to make Qingming cakes. Mugwort leaves are most popular only during the Dragon Boat Festival - tied into a bunch and hung on the door to ward off evil spirits and insects, and then turned into powder in summer to repel mosquitoes and flies.
For this reason, every household will plant mugwort and wormwood in a corner of the courtyard wall. The wormwood is harvested before the Qingming Festival and the wormwood is harvested before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Because Fuju Island has always had the habit of giving out welfare during holidays, these two types of herbs are not only planted in one or two corners, but also several ridges of land are dedicated to growing them.
During the harvest season, everyone wears sun hats, long-sleeved shirts, and coarse aprons, hiding among the fields, busy working for the welfare before the festival.
Xu Suizhu also joined the harvest team and chatted with the workers from time to time.
As a boss, you should always care about the work of your employees and the living conditions on Fuju Island.
