Lin Qing's eyes widened, and he felt that the old lady was talking serious nonsense, "Milk, you fool me, the second master's mud artemisia hasn't grown yet." ”。

The mud artemisia of the second master's house of the village chief is now tender and tender, but it is too bad to practice things, and the old lady's temperament, if she grows it at home, she will be willing to do it without blinking, but the old lady will never move it, let alone take the initiative to ask for it.

The old lady couldn't hide it, so she said with a smile: "Milk didn't ask for your second master's things in vain, and your second master didn't suffer a loss if she exchanged it for a pickled chicken leg." ”

Early in the morning, take the chicken leg to change the mud and artemisia?

Lin Qing blinked, and suddenly remembered what the old lady said yesterday, and immediately understood in his heart, lying in the quilt and not asking more.

The old lady tucked the quilt and asked her to lie down for a while, turned her head, and saw that Chu Yi, who was nesting on the quilt, was pouting the cat's butt and wanted to drill into Lin Qing's quilt, the old lady glared angrily, dragged it over and carried it in her hand and went out of the house.

Seeing that the old lady was gone, Lin Qing was excited, and quickly took out the sweet little fox sleeping in the bed, and threw it into the nest in the corner of the bed.

It would be terrible if the old lady knew, and last time the old lady said that she would find two cages, lock up the cat and the fox, and throw them in the firewood room to starve for a few days.

At breakfast, there was a muddy egg soup on the table, a large bowl full of sea, and everyone in the family got a bowl, and the old lady added some small shrimp in Lin Qing's space in the soup, which was extremely delicious.

After breakfast, the old lady was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and Zhao Yihai, a child of the Zhao family in the village at the gate of the courtyard, stood outside and shouted: "Is Grandma at home?"

The old lady answered in the kitchen, came out to take a look, smiled and let people come in to play, and asked what was the matter while untying her apron.

Zhao Yihai had an inch of hair, his face was dark, his eyes were purring, and he was very clever when he saw that the old lady was still busy, so he said embarrassedly: "It's not a big deal, grandma, you continue to be busy." My father just asked me to come over and inform me, and when the village goes to the big bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, the second master is not here today, let my father take care of this matter when I leave, and my grandmother's family will let Brother Lang go. ”

"So that's the case? Grandma knows about this, so I'm waiting for the news at home, and I'll let you go over and gather later." This is true, the old lady knew that the old village chief was worried about digging bamboo shoots, but a few days ago the spring ploughing was busy and did not take care of it, it happened to rain again and again in the past few days, and the work in the field could not be done.

After the words fell, the old lady took out two sugar cubes from Lin Qing's coat pocket on the side and stretched out her hand to stuff them: "Take it to Tiantianzui." "This child has a good temper, and the old lady likes it.

Zhao Yihai shook his head with his hands behind his back and refused to ask for it, the old lady forced it into his pocket, seeing this, Zhao Yihai twisted it for a while, and soon grinned rarely.

thanked the old lady, turned around and ran out, he still had to inform the people in the educated youth courtyard.

As soon as Zhao Yihai left, without the old lady's instructions, Xiao Lang went to the firewood room and turned out a basket on his back, took a hoe, and went out of the house to say hello to the old lady and went to the village to gather.

Lin Qing learned to read and write with his uncle in the hall, turned his head and saw Xiao Lang gone, his heart suddenly became restless, he pushed the book, and pestered his uncle to go with him. Uncle Tai couldn't grind her, so he shirked and asked her to ask the old lady.

The old lady disagreed: "It's all mud outside, there are so many people, and there are hoes and shovels, your brother Lang can't take care of you, in case you touch it, you can read and write with your uncle at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

Lin Qing refused to respond, as if he had to go, he went out and shouted Zhang Wenhe, who was hugging the little fox and strolling back and forth under the eaves, came back, and argued with the old lady: "I will go with Brother Wen, and Sister Xiaozhu will also go, what is it not okay for the three of them to go together." As he spoke, he ignored the old lady and went into the back room to take out the small basket and a small hoe that her uncle had specially knitted for her.

The old lady couldn't, she was stalemate, Xiao Zhuzi came over with a basket on her back, followed by Liu'er, and shouted excitedly as soon as she entered the courtyard: "Ah Qing, I'll take you to dig bamboo shoots, there are bamboo civets in the bamboo forest, maybe we can catch a bamboo civet and come back to add vegetables!"

"Milk ......" Lin Qing pitifully pulled the corner of the old lady's clothes, swaying left and right, coquettish and scoundrel, and finally the old lady was soft-hearted and couldn't hold it, and let go of her mouth and agreed, but she was very unhappy on her face.

Seeing this, the little bamboo who came into the house understood a rough idea, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Grandma Lin, don't worry, Aqing will let her not lose even a single hair by watching me!"

On the side, Zhang Wenhe also wanted to go, so he followed closely behind Xiaozhuzi and said: "Milk, I'll take fifteen over, and I won't let her run around by staring at Aqing." ”

Now the old lady couldn't hold her face anymore: "Go, go, go, someone can put a snack with the milk." ”

As soon as they heard this, the three of them hurriedly took their things and pulled the six roots, and then called fifteen hula and ran out, for fear that the old lady would not let them go if she regretted it.

There are two bamboo forests in Qinghe Bay, one is a small bamboo forest that is not growing well, not far from the foot of the southwest mountain. The other big bamboo forest is behind Qinghewan Village, the area is more than dozens of acres, the bamboos are tall and dense, there is no sunlight in it for many years, the ground is covered with a thick layer of bamboo leaves, which often have snakes infested.

The big bamboo forest has always been the common property of the village, and every year the village organizes the villagers to dig spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots. As for the small bamboo forest, the village doesn't care, whoever wants to dig it can dig it, but it can't be cut down casually.

Now that Qinghewan is so loose, everyone is accustomed to such conveniences and benefits, and they also know what kind of world they are in now. But in other villages, even if a handful of wild vegetables grow in the fields, they can't be pulled out and taken home without authorization, and they are the collective property of the village and should be handed over to the village.

The meeting place at the head of the village was already full of people, Xiao Lang came early but didn't squeeze inside, standing on the periphery with Xiaozhu's father, the two of them were talking, and when they turned their heads, they saw Lin Qing and the four of them walking towards this side, and suddenly frowned, and hurriedly went over and hugged the people.

"Why did you agree to let you come? Look at the mud on your feet. Xiao Lang looked at her pair of small red shoes stained with mud, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Lin Qing followed his gaze to his feet, his two little feet shook, and he blinked and said, "I didn't change my milk, and I forgot about it." ”

When I came, I was just happy, who still remembered to change my shoes, and I didn't remember until I walked a while out of the courtyard gate, but I definitely couldn't go back, and if I saw it for the old lady, I didn't want to come out again.
