Volume 1 025 Long-term Considerations
In the early morning of the second day, Ding Qinghe was so tired that she couldn't get up from bed, she thought that if she got up so late today, her mother-in-law Yang would definitely scold her, and she was even ready to be scolded, who expected that Yang didn't come out to scold her at this moment?
"Fourth brother and sister, in the morning, Hibiscus made wild vegetable porridge for everyone, as well as the corn tortillas baked by my mother, you can eat it with the fourth brother. Shi Zhubao greeted her with a smile.
"Thank you, second brother, I see that the wound you were bitten by a poisonous snake is much better, you should be careful next time, some snake venom is very powerful, it may not be able to be cleaned up, this time you are lucky." Ding Qinghe saw that Shi Zhubao had a kind attitude towards herself, and she smiled and cared.
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, my four brothers and sisters have eaten, and now I go to work in the field. Shi Zhubao put the dishes and chopsticks on the table next to the earthen stove room, turned around and carried the shovel and wanted to leave.
"Second brother, where is our father?" Shi Zhugeng saw that his father and mother were not seen in the courtyard, so he caught up with Shi Zhubao's footsteps and wondered.
"Dad went to Tiger Nest Mountain early in the morning to pick bayberry. Oh, it was the little nun who asked the little nun to come to our house to find our mother early in the morning, saying that the Jingyue Master was too sick. Mother should have gone to Shuiyue Nunnery to visit Master Jingyue!" Shi Zhubao thought for a moment and told them.
"Master Jingyue?" Ding Qinghe said suspiciously.
"Mrs. Jingyue is my mother-in-law's sister-in-law......" It was Shi Zhugeng who told her about Mrs. Jingyue, and Ding Qinghe understood.
"Shouldn't you go to Lang Zhong for treatment when you're sick?" Ding Qinghe whispered.
"I must have found Langzhong, maybe my aunt missed our mother, so my mother went over to see her. Shi Zhugeng guessed.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and have breakfast, I'm going to work in the fields, I'll be back for dinner at noon, Dad should have brought dry food." Shi Zhubao said before leaving, this is because it is Ding Qinghe's turn to make lunch this afternoon.
After Shi Zhubao left, Ding Qinghe glanced at Shi Muhibiscus's room, as if he heard movement inside.
"Fifth sister, if you dislike my dilapidated house, you can live in it. ”
Hmph, the life of the young lady's body!
Shi Mujin thought to herself that she had to sleep on a wooden bed alone, how comfortable it was, but as soon as Shi Hongmei returned to her parents' house, she squeezed a wooden bed with herself, which was really uncomfortable, and it was sticky and uncomfortable when she touched the other party's skin on this hot day.
Shi Mujin said this because Shi Hongmei said that the house was broken, and it was not as good as the wedding room where she and Ding Shuangxi lived, saying that the wedding room was so good that there were brand-new mats to sleep on, but when she arrived at Shi Muhibiscus's house in her mother's house, she slept on a sewing mat that made her not sleep well last night.
"You...... You deliberately mock me! You know that I have no choice but to go back to my parents' house! You little hooves still dare to sarcastically mock me!" Shi Hongmei was very angry.
"How dare I sarcastically mock the fifth sister? You have been better looking than me since you were a child, and the fifth brother-in-law must like you, but why hasn't he come to pick you up?" Shi Mujian couldn't help but hate her because her face was hurt by Shi Muji's nails.
"Don't mention him to me!" Shi Hongmei heard that she didn't quarrel with Shi Muhibiscus anymore, and slammed the door angrily.
It's just that after Shi Hongmei saw Ding Qinghe looking at herself, she had a sense of despair that Ding Qinghe saw through.
"What are you looking at?" Shi Hongmei may have felt embarrassed, so she blushed and yelled at Ding Qinghe.
Ding Qinghe glanced at her lightly, ignored her, and just turned around and walked in the direction of the hall.
"Lady, the wild vegetable porridge made of hibiscus tastes okay. At this time, Shi Zhugeng had already gone to bring two bowls of wild vegetable porridge, and he handed one bowl to Ding Qinghe, and even the chopsticks helped Ding Qinghe take it.
"Hibiscus, hibiscus, the wild vegetable porridge you made tastes very good, it's very progressive. Ding Qinghe smiled and encouraged towards Hibiscus's room.
"Thank you for the compliment, hehe. Being praised by the fourth sister-in-law, Shi Mujian's mood was much better.
"Lady, there is still a lot of wild vegetable porridge left, you can eat some more......" Shi Zhugeng called softly.
"What's that, I've eaten almost, Xianggong, you eat more......" Ding Qinghe refused with a smile, eating wild vegetable porridge every day, no matter how good your appetite is, you can't bear it!
Shi Hongmei saw that Shi Zhugeng was so good to Ding Qinghe, and thought that when she was reprimanded by her mother-in-law Fei, Ding Shuangxi's dead man always didn't help her as a lady, and she was angry and resentful.
After breakfast, Shi Zhugeng carried a long ladder and took six bamboo baskets to Huchao Mountain to pick bayberry.
And what about Ding Qinghe? She went to the river with two buckets of clothes to wash her clothes, and after she finished washing her clothes, she had to make lunch for her family later.
In the morning, the sun in June said that it was not big, and the air revealed a trace of dryness, unlike Ding Qinghe's modern world of reinforced concrete.
The water in the small river in Shimaruki Village has dropped by a small half, and this year is the least watery year compared to previous years when there was abundant rain.
In the morning, there was no one washing clothes by the river, Ding Qinghe walked to the place near the river below, wet the clothes and put them on the rocks next to him, holding a mallet in his hand and beating the freshly wet clothes, thinking about other things, she is living a very hard life now, eating wild vegetable porridge in the morning, at first she can comfort herself to lose weight and lose weight, but as time goes by, she really can't stand it.
There are still nine days to go to the market, is there any other way to make money besides selling herbs?
"Have you heard? The Yuan family in the county town has posted a list of doctors, if I know how to heal, it would be good. "A few farmers passing by the creek were chatting.
"Miss Yuan's family doesn't know what's wrong, so many Langzhong can't be cured, even the Fujilangzhong from our village has gone, and it is said that it is difficult to cure Miss Yuan's illness......"
"Fuji Langzhong's medical skills are so good, is there no way to heal Miss Yuan?"
"......" everyone was gossiping.
Ding Qinghe didn't take it to heart when he heard it, but when he heard that the Yuan family offered a reward of one hundred taels of silver, it was impossible not to say that he was moved.
Ding Qinghe was thinking about it, but who expected that a piece of clothing in her hand would float away.
"Daughter-in-law Zhu Geng, what do you want? This dress has floated away, why don't you pick it up!" The new family next door to the west came over with a basin of dirty clothes and reminded with a smile.
"Oh, I'll pick it up right away. Ding Qinghe said in his heart Fortunately, this small river is shallow, so he immediately took off his shoes and went down to pick up his clothes.
Fortunately, she was able to get her clothes back, but she was suddenly stabbed by something sharp.
Ding Qinghe hurriedly lifted her foot out to take a look, and couldn't help wailing in her heart, "Mom, what kind of world is this, even snails are stinging, but an idea flashed in her mind, snails? Snails are meat dishes! It's just that there are parasites in snails! But she wants to eat meat so much, she said in her heart, what kind of parasites do you care! After the snails are cooked, you can eat them boldly!
After thinking about it like this, after Ding Qinghe went back after washing his clothes, he hurriedly came out with a wooden basin and went down to the river to touch the snails, which others felt strange when they saw it.
"Daughter-in-law Zhu Geng, what are you doing in the basin with this hard bump?"
"I think it's fun, get some and raise it, hehe......" Ding Qinghe didn't know if the snails in this time and space were really edible, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, and if everyone knew that the snails could be eaten, then her meat dishes would not be settled.
was so perfunctory by Ding Qinghe, everyone didn't take it to heart, washing clothes for washing clothes, picking water for watering vegetables, the ancient river was still very clear, after all, there was no trace of pollution, occasionally a few small fish were playing in the water, and the cool touch soothed Ding Qinghe's anxious mood.
The method of snail is very simple, wash the snail, and then put it in clean water for a day or two, let it spit out the mud, and then use scissors to remove the snail butt, so that when eating, it will not have a muddy smell, and it is also convenient to suck out the snail meat.
After bringing the snails back, Ding Qinghe put the snails in the water basin and raised them, and after the Yang family came back from the Shuiyue Nunnery, he saw the snails in the water basin, and frowned slightly, he wanted to scold Ding Qinghe a few words, but when she thought about it last night, Shi Zhugeng took the initiative to mention the separation, which made her stop scolding a little.
"Mother, what do you think she is doing when she comes back with these hard bumps? Why don't you go to the river to catch fish and come back to improve the food. Shi Hongmei sat on the bamboo chair under the locust tree and collected the soles of her shoes, while pointing to the snail basin placed in the corner of the wall, and sneered.
"Hongmei, don't worry about the hard pimple for now, I'll tell you, you can cook our dinner today!" Yang walked up to Shi Hongmei and whispered.
"Mother, didn't you make it easier for me to be at my mother's house? Why did you ask my daughter to work again? Besides, I heard that it was your turn to make dinner, why did I help make dinner?" Shi Hongmei said reluctantly.
"If Zhu Geng's daughter-in-law was as lazy as you are, I would have kicked her out a long time ago, and you still don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness! Or do you want your mother to take you directly to your mother-in-law's house?" Yang didn't expect that Shi Hongmei would become so lazy under her own doting, and she didn't even want to do the work of ordinary women in the earthen stove room, how could this work? When you go back to the Ding family again, you can't be reprimanded endlessly by the Fei family? Even if you remarry, which mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law who is not diligent in her work? In the long run, the Yang family could only think about how to change Shi Hongmei's lazy nature.
