Chapter 43, Send Plums

"Grandma, let's go back to dinner, and when we get the chickens back, we can grow some vegetables, and then we will go to sell vegetables." "Since grandma is sad when she mentions the mountain, she doesn't ask.

"Good boy. Grandma He patted Mei Xue's hand and followed her into the house.

After breakfast, Grandma He put on her hoe and walked to the field.

After Mei Xue saw that her grandmother's face was no longer smiling, she didn't ask much, and followed behind her grandmother, just hoping that her grandmother would be happy soon.

On this day, the two joined forces and opened a vegetable field with two points on the mountain.

"Xiaoxue, don't dig it, let's go, let's go home. Grandma He thumped her sore waist and shouted at Xiaoxue, who was still digging there.

"We went home for dinner, and it was noon. ”

Mei Xue looked up at the sky, too, the sun was hanging high. The wagons by the creek that collected wood were long gone.

After returning home, Grandma He drank two large glasses of water to ease her senses, "Xiaoxue, the day after tomorrow, go to the street with grandma to buy some seeds and come back." "She doesn't grow a lot of vegetables, and some of them certainly don't have too many seeds.

Just like Xiaoxue said, if you don't have wood to sell, then you can grow vegetables, and selling vegetables is much easier than cutting wood.

"Okay, I'll go with my grandmother. "Mei Xue is still very concerned about buying seeds.

Because she has space for water, no matter what season the vegetables are, as long as she wants to, she can grow them alive, not to mention selling summer vegetables in winter, even if she sells fresh fruits, it is a piece of cake.

It's a pity that Mei Xue doesn't have so much energy to do it for the time being, and she doesn't dare to do it.

Of course, Grandma He is willing to go with Xiaoxue and work at home every day, so she should let Xiaoxue have a free day.

"Okay, let's go together. ”

Because the two of them opened a large two plots of land again, this time they bought vegetables and planted Grandma He planned to buy more.

Ask the people in the village if it is better to spend a few cents yourself, and it is better to buy it than to come with it.

On the day of the big gathering, Mei Xue followed her grandmother to the vegetable market to find out if there were any vegetable seeds, generally these vegetable seeds are purchased in two kinds, one is that the villagers themselves take out and sell them.

Another way is to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy, Mei Xue doesn't understand this, and after seeing that her grandmother didn't find the vegetable seeds she wanted all morning, Mei Xue couldn't help but ask.

"Grandma, is this the only vegetable seed that sells here?" Mei Xue was afraid that her grandmother would be sunburning, so she pulled her to the side and stood under the eaves, seeing her grandmother sweating profusely, Mei Xue was very distressed.

Grandma He wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve, "There are also some in the supply and marketing cooperative." Feel free to reply.

When Mei Xue heard this, she immediately pulled her grandmother to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The vegetables in it are very complete, not only that, but there are many kinds that have not been planted by the people in the village.

Mei Xue was worried about selling vegetables, and after she communicated with the seller, Mei Xue bought a lot of vegetable seeds that were not grown in the village.

Grandma He disagreed, she felt that these vegetables might not be able to grow live, but she couldn't be as tough as Mei Xue, and in the end, the two of them bought all the things they needed.

On the way back, Grandma He looked distressed, but she didn't expect to spend several yuan to buy some vegetable seeds, and how many vegetables would have to be planted to sell them back.

Mei Xue didn't have the worry of her grandmother, she wondered if she should reclaim a few more vegetable fields.

After returning home, Mei Xue asked about the vegetable patch, "Grandma, is the place around that vegetable patch ours?"

When Grandma He heard this, she nodded, "Well, it's ours, what's wrong?" The mountain belongs to the village, and whoever opens up the land is anyone's own.

"I also want to open a few more vegetable plots, so many seeds, we don't have enough land. Mei Xue smiled slightly.

"You, don't be greedy, these vegetables may not be sold when they are grown, and besides, grandma has never planted this dish, so I don't know how to serve them. "Grandma He is not afraid to contribute, but she is afraid that Xiaoxue will be disappointed.

"It's okay, we won't learn, anyway, it didn't cost a lot of money, it's just a matter of strength, grandma, you will work hard in the future, cook at home, I'll go to open the land." Mei Xue said with the momentum of the head of the family.

Grandma He wanted to say to help, but after seeing Xiaoxue's willingness, she nodded obediently, "Okay, grandma listens to Xiaoxue." ”

After the matter was arranged, Mei Xue began to go to the field in the afternoon of the same day, after all, it was a mountain, and if she wanted to turn it into a vegetable field, she had to dig it with a hoe.

No matter what the people in the village are, Mei Xue and Grandma He's little life is very quiet and peaceful.

After almost four or five days, Meixue almost opened almost two acres of vegetable fields.

I also used up all the water in my grandmother's cistern.

"Grandma, the ground has been dug up, it hasn't rained these days, the water on it has dried up, I'll go fetch water tomorrow." Back at home, Mei Xue ate the food cooked by her grandmother, which was called a fragrant.

"Cheng, tomorrow grandma will join you, and grandma will still do the work of carrying water. Grandma He said distressedly.

"No, I have a lot of strength, I pick quickly, and I can fill it up in the afternoon. Mei Xue said unconcernedly.

These days, the plums on the mountain are also ripe, and An Liang, under the supervision of his mother, chose several large and sweet plum trees, which is a good time to pick, and An Liang spent a day picking plums.

"Three grandmothers, three grandmothers. "At noon, there were too many plums, and An Liang had to send them back first.

Carrying a load of plums, An Liang ran directly to the third grandmother's house.

These days, Grandma He has been trying to find a way to make food for Xiaoxue, thinking about how to make up for Xiaoxue at home every day, and as soon as she heard the sound, she ran out of the kitchen.

"What is An Liang doing? "Grandma He is still holding a knife in her hand, and she is chopping vegetables.

"Third grandma, what are you doing with a knife?" An Liang was a little frightened and took a step back.

Seeing him like this, the third grandmother scolded him for not being productive, and then put the knife into the kitchen.

"Come in, what are you doing?" Of course, Grandma He saw the plums that An Liang had picked.

An Liang went to the well first, drank water for a while, and then replied to the third grandmother's words, "My mother said that my sister-in-law wants to eat plums, no, I found a few big and sweet plums on the mountain, and I brought plums to my sister-in-law." ”

Hearing An Liang's words, Grandma He smiled, "Your mother has a heart, okay, this plum third grandmother has accepted it, have you eaten?"

She likes people who are good to Xiaoxue.

"Not yet, I'm not coming back, I'll go back to eat in a while. An Liang didn't think much about it, and replied casually.

"What to eat when you go back, eat here, the third grandmother made something delicious today, you can eat more in a while." Grandma He smiled.

An Liang was a little embarrassed, touched his head, he wanted to eat here, but if he really ate here, his mother would definitely scold him for a while.

Grandma He is a good person, and she can tell what An Liang is thinking at a glance, "It's okay, I'll tell your mother later, there are too many of these plums, you will help the third grandmother wash and dry the plums together." ”
