The 40th round
Since it is not wheat, the Luo family's small courtyard can be said to be overgrown with weeds. A large area of heavy tassels staggered from side to side, almost submerging the three cement roads in the courtyard.
Everyone seems to be passing through a wheat wave, the cool breeze blows lightly, permeated with fragrance, and there is a kind of nostalgia lingering in their hearts.
"This is what your grandfather bought from a foreigner, it's called black licorice," Gu Ning explained as he led the way inside, "and it is used to improve the quality of the soil, so that the grain grown in the future will be more fragrant, sweeter and more nutritious." ”
It sounds incredible, but that's what the old man said, just listen.
Finally, everyone came to a vacant space in front of the house, the ground was flat and dry, and it looked comfortable. Gu Ning put the chicken coop and a suitcase next to him, and squatted curiously on the edge of the grass field to take a closer look.
"See? Its roots close to the soil are brown, which means that it will not be long before it rots in the ground and becomes fertilizer nutrients. In fact, she was also curious, she had been listening to her father talk about it on the phone before, but she had never seen it.
After speaking, she took a handful of ripe grass seeds, rubbed off the skin, took out the plump rice grains inside, put them in her mouth and chewed them, and a trace of sweetness seeped into her taste buds.
"Well, it's sweet, you can grow other vegetables. ”
These are all things that her father told her, and he was very excited at the time, saying that it was the first time he knew that there was such a grass when he was so old.
She's too, so I'm very curious.
Glycyrrhiza is the most common grass in Danlu Mountain.
It has strong vitality and can thrive as long as there is soil. Only in the soil where it is used as a nutrient can the herbs needed for all kinds of elixirs be grown.
Therefore, it is not a material for alchemy, and its role is very precious.
It is harvested every three months, and if no one harvests it, it will rot in the roots within four months and turn into fertilizer nutrients. Wherever the seed is sown, it grows, and its vitality is as strong as a weed.
For example, if the three roads in the courtyard were not paved with cement, they would probably not be able to find a way into the house.
Luo Qingyu stayed in Daguzhuang back then, and the happiest thing was his grandfather and his old man, one old and one young every day, except for going up the mountain to inspect the work progress of the cement craftsmen, the rest of the time, the two of them often walked around in and out of the mountains.
For example, there is a land temple on Lei Gong Mountain in the north, and the Egong Ridge opposite there is the place where the ancestors of the Gu family rested, and it was also the place where he and her grandmother rested in the future.
For example, there is also a family living in Yanziling in the east, they have sheep, chickens and ducks, and honey is sweet~. After patrolling the mountain with the owner, the old man took her to the neighboring village chief to see and see, and saw many strangers.
I don't know when, the little girl has an extra bag of seeds in her hand-
"Grandpa, just now an old man gave me a packet of seeds and said thank you for helping him show him the way. "In front of the old man, she has always been well-behaved.
Some words are more appropriate to come out of the mouth of an adult so that others do not suspect them.
My grandfather believed in the cycle of cause and effect, and good people were rewarded.
He praised the little girl, took the small cloth bag of the seeds, and opened it to see that there was a note inside, which detailed the planting method, characteristics, and efficacy of the seeds.
Three seasons a year, the grass seeds that are planted for the first time are sour, then very bitter, slightly bitter, and then slightly sweet. When it tastes as sweet as sugar, it can grow any crop, including all kinds of medicinal herbs used in alchemy.
The yard is so wide in order to encircle and grow more toxic herbs.
When she said this to her grandfather, she was both cautious and pretended to be careless. The so-called life is like a play, it all depends on her acting skills, and the world owes her a little golden man award.
Regardless of whether his grandfather can escape or not, he has decided to carry this pot.
Because he is an old man, he is right to say anything.
Even if it's wrong, his parents will follow his advice and make him happy. It's different if she says it, the cost is too big, the parents won't believe her, and at the same time think that the disobedient child is just one word: bear.
Educate bear children that a meal of "braised pork" is indispensable. She's a girl's family, so she can't let the little ass suffer that sin.
"Qingqing, why are you stunned? Hurry up and call Dad to report safety. ”
Luo Qingyu was in a daze, and was brought back to her senses by her mother's shout, "Oh." ”
Xiao Nian, who was trying to eat black licorice, heard the prestige and saw the little girl rushing into a wave of wheat with her mobile phone, and the tip of the grass was almost as high as her. Well, like the little protagonist in a multigrain cereal advertisement, the whole picture is warm.
He had to run out of the phone when he made a phone call, and eighty percent had secrets, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and ridicule: "Do you know how to call? Brother taught you?"
She's only five years old.
"I will, I don't need you to teach. After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
"Qingqing, don't run too far!" Gu Ma, who was taking out the key to open the door of the house, turned around and shouted.
"Oh!"
Staring at her little figure running away, Xiao Nian smiled silently.
"Don't mind, she's always like this, everything she does is mysterious, but she's actually clever. Luo Tianyou was afraid that his little sister's coldness would hurt his friend's self-esteem, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Now you understand my feelings, right?"
Haha, Xiao Nian always said in the letter that she was cute, this time I was disappointed to see the real person, right?
"Be content, at least Xiaoqing doesn't ask you for this or that, or the girl who cries if you don't get it is annoying. Xiao Nian glanced at him, such a well-behaved and sensible sister and brother don't know how to cherish it, and sooner or later she will lose her.
"I don't care, anyway, she is also your sister now, and she will be disciplined by you in the future. ”
"I'll take care of it, don't regret it in the future. ”
"Hey, who regrets who puppy. ”
Xiao Nian has always emphasized recognizing Qingqing as a younger sister, and both parents know it, and bringing her so many gifts this time is equivalent to a kind of acquiescence from the parents.
This is different from the parent recognizing the righteous daughter, and when the child grows up, if he still thinks this way, then it is not too late for the parents to officially recognize her as the righteous daughter.
But that's all for later.
Speaking of Luo Qingyu, when she ran out of the door of the hospital, she glanced back, only to see that the door of the house was open, and Xiao Nian and her eldest brother helped her mother push Li into the house.
Her room is always there, so she doesn't have to rob her brother.
After the house was built, she and her grandfather moved to the mountains for more than a year. The grandfather left, and the father came alone to clean up the room and remove all the old man's belongings, for fear that his daughter-in-law would touch the scene.
Of course, sadness is always inevitable, and it's good to be sad for a long time.
"Dad, we're here. ”
The phone was connected, and Luo Qingyu told her father about the experience on the road in great detail, and then asked what she was most concerned about:
"Dad, is anyone from the Zhang family looking for you?"
Luo's father was stunned, two days have passed, he didn't expect the child to still think about this in his heart.
"Of course not, silly boy, your brother didn't have an accident, our family has nothing to do with that Zhang family, don't think about it! Have fun at home, by the way, is the grass your grandfather planted sweet......" He tried to distract the child.
As soon as Gu Ning's vacation arrived, it was his turn to accompany the children for the summer vacation, and the couple discussed it.
The daughter is only five years old, and those eyes made her know the taste of sorrow early, and her parents did not feel strange about her excessive precociousness except for distress and worry.
"But I saw them pestering our family, Dad, you can't give them money, don't give a cent......"
"Okay, Dad won't give it, Dad promises you okay?"
The youngest daughter has been troubled by the river jumping incident and cannot be relieved, which makes Luo Yusheng both distressed and helpless.
It was definitely not his daughter who annoyed him, but her inexplicable eyes, and the Zhang family, who had never met before, actually scared his child like this......
