Chapter 241: Red Persimmons

After discussing it carefully, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing said goodbye and left, and before leaving, Yun Jichen semi-forcibly pulled Lin Xu as a helper. Qiu Chen felt that participating in this kind of thing was also a kind of exercise for Lin Xu, and there was nothing wrong with following Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, so he acquiesced with a smile, and watched Lin Xu be dragged away by Yun Jichen's arm with half anxiety and half excitement.

When I returned to my room in the third courtyard, I saw Yufeng at first glance taking out wooden boxes and boxes from the box, holding a rag and carefully wiping the damage on the exquisite lacquer surface on the surface, twisting his brows, frowning, and looking distressed.

Such a jade phoenix provoked Qiu Chen couldn't help laughing, pointed at the jade phoenix and said, "Look, look at you like this, you can catch up with the bitter gourd!" ”

"Madame!" Yufeng was a little embarrassed by Qiu Chen's laughter, although she didn't know what the 'bitter gourd' was, but it didn't sound like a good thing.

"You're still smiling, look at it, these boxes are knocked, so haode lacquer...... And this, how beautiful the shell carvings embedded here are, look at it, they are all knocked off......" Yufeng counted down with a regretful face, chattering, like an old woman with many words.

Qiu Chen was also bitter by what she said, holding his chin and frowning: "Yes, I was also in a hurry at the time, I didn't expect this, and I smashed it when I touched it...... Alas, it's my fault, I should have thought about finding something else to use......"

"Madam......" Yufeng didn't care about her box, and was about to kneel down with a pale face, "Madam, it's the slave's fault, the slave doesn't know what to do, and she shouldn't talk nonsense......"

Qiu Chen held her up, still with a faint smile on his face, but he was not as kind and casual as usual, and said lightly: "You are a calm person and thoughtful, I can rest assured that I will leave anything to you...... You are at fault in this matter today, but the fault is not that you are nagging me, but that you should not be stuck to such objects, and you can't get out of the horns...... Think about it, in that situation, where did you come from and look for other things, how can these things be worth a life, no matter how valuable? ”

Yufeng nodded again and again, but her eyes were a little dazed.

Qiu Chen sighed, let go of Yufeng's hand and said, "Whether you can figure it out or not at this time, but remember what I said, no matter when or what happens, you must save your life first, nothing is important!" ”

Yufeng nodded ignorantly, but it did not prevent her from being full of warmth and emotion.

The shopkeeper and his wife just met in Pingshui, and they had no relatives and no reason, but in order to save the man's life, the lady threw these expensive things out as weapons without hesitation...... Such a compassionate heart can still be the same for the shopkeeper who has nothing to do with it, if one day, these maids and servants are in danger of their lives, Madame will definitely not hesitate to protect them, right? Definitely!

Qiu Chen didn't know what Yufeng was thinking for a while, seeing that she nodded, he put aside the topic just now and took those boxes and boxes, but she didn't look at the damage to these packaging, she was more concerned about whether the objects inside still needed to be preserved and repaired.

After watching a few, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be full of joy.

A few glass vases that were afraid of falling were large and inconvenient to pick up, so they survived. In addition, the mercury glass mirror and glass ball, which are more afraid of falling, are only a small gap, which does not affect the use and viewing. I really don't know whether to thank the exquisite packaging of this era, or to sigh good luck!

Qiu Chen fiddled with it, and at the same time passed this joy to Yufeng: "Look at it, aren't these things quite haode?" Look at this self-friend, he can still move. There is still a sound in this music box, and this little man is dancing well......"

What made Qiu Chen sigh the most was also this thing, this music box was thrown out by her for the first time, with the greatest effort, she didn't think that she could survive at the time, but she didn't expect to give her a surprise, the entire music box was preserved quite completely, except for a few pieces of paint knocked off the outer packaging box, there was no damage.

Being nagged by Qiu Chen like this, the regret and frustration in Yufeng's heart gradually faded, and a quiet smile resurfaced on her face.

After checking it, the master and servant put these things back into the box, and began to pack some other luggage, and the night came unconsciously.

The next day, I had to go back to Liujiaao, and after dinner, the family turned off the lights early and rested.

A dark shadow emerged from the courtyard and quickly jumped out and disappeared into the night. An hour later, the black shadow jumped into the Lin family's courtyard from the outside again, and when it landed, the black shadow staggered slightly before standing firmly, but it did not stay, and disappeared into the wing room in a flash.

For these, no one in the more than ten members of the Lin family noticed it, and they got up before dawn, beckoning people to prepare horses and cars, and prepare forage for horses......

When the sky was slightly bright, Qiu Chen also got up, cleaned up a little, and after having a simple breakfast with Lin Xu and Lin Xianniang, he boarded the car and set off on the road.

The other two people of the Lin family, Lin Xianniang and Lin Xu, also went out one after another, one rushed to the dim sum shop that was about to reopen, and the other took Yuliang to Yunfu to help Yun Jichen and them prepare for the Double Ninth Festival.

In Anyang Mansion in early September, the weather was already a little cold, Qiu Chen and Yufeng sat in the carriage covered with thick felt, covered their legs and feet with a thin quilt, and leaned on the big pillows, slowly swaying with the rhythm of the vehicle. In the year and a half since she came here, she has slowly adapted to this bumpy and slow way of traveling.

This time I was away from home for a long time, and when I left, it was still the height of summer, and now when I return home, it is already late autumn.

The journey went smoothly, and when the carriage turned into Liujiaao, the sun was still only slanting westward, and it did not set, and the sky in the west was reflected by the brilliant sunlight and dyed into a piece of red gold and red, brilliant and gorgeous. Reflecting the colorful autumn colors above and below the mountain, the world is a splendid scenery, and the beauty is dazzling.

Qiu Chen's eyes were staring at the small mountain village in this splendid picture, and the smoke rising in the twilight couldn't help but warm his heart, soft and warm, making people feel almost slightly drunk. It seems that something is surging in her heart, attracting her gaze, attracting her whole person, and she can't help but want to get close.

After a while, Qiu Chen took it back, knocked on the carriage, asked Shunzi to stop the carriage, got off the carriage, and sent the carriage first, she took Yufeng and walked slowly towards the village. Qin Li and Zeng Daniu also dismounted, slowly following more than ten steps behind Qiu Chen's master and servant.

A gust of mountain wind blew, Qiu Chen shrank slightly, Yufeng caught up with two steps, shook off a lotus-blue Zhangrong cloak and put it on her: "Madam, put on the cloak in the wind and cold!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded, straightened the straps of the cloak by himself, lifted the corners of his skirt and cloak slightly, and walked home step by step.

"Aunt Begonia!" A child's cheerful call made Qiu Chen stop.

When I looked up, I saw the bolt and a few boys coming out of the grass at the entrance of the village, all with bright smiles on their little faces, and a pair of small hands holding red sour dates.

"Aunt Begonia, give you a taste, I picked sour dates, it's delicious!" The plug immediately raised the sour jujube in his hand in front of Qiu Chen.

The little hand of the plug was black and dirty, and Yufeng was about to open her mouth to refuse the plug, but Qiu Chen had already reached out with a smile and pinched a few sour dates in the child's palm, and put one in his mouth without hesitation, and ate it slowly: "Hiss, it's so sour......"

The bolt and a few other boys all laughed shyly.

Qiu Chen glanced at the boys, still slowly eating the sour dates in his mouth, and said with a slow smile: "Well, it's sour enough, it's delicious!" ”

The bolt smiled heavily, revealing a hint of joyful shyness. Qiu Chen patted the back of the bolt on the head, held the bolt, and greeted the other children with a smile: "Let's go, my aunt brought you snacks and things, in the carriage in front, let's go, go home with my aunt!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......" The children agreed crisply, accompanied by happy laughter, accompanied by Qiu Chen's side, and ran to Lin's house in a hurry.

Along the way, Qiu Chen could meet the neighbors in the village from time to time, she stopped to say hello and greet, the children were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, but they still didn't run around, they looked at Qiu Chen with their eyes, and they looked forward to returning to the Lin family soon.

Bypassing the third grandmother's house, without waiting to walk up the gentle slope, the children finally couldn't help it, and the bolt was the first to run towards the Lin family, shouting loudly as they ran: "Aunt Begonia is back......"

A group of children followed behind the bolt, also shouting noisily, and soon, before Qiu Chen could walk up the gentle slope, a group of people poured out of the gate of the Lin family.

The one who ran at the forefront was not Junyan Junzhang, not the children with convenient legs and feet like Afu Aman, but the old lady of the Yang family, Liu. Yang Shumeng followed Liu's side closely, holding one of her arms, a man in the prime of life, but he could barely catch up with the footsteps of the old mother. While walking briskly, Liu looked at the figure at the bottom of the slope and shouted: "Begonia? Begonia ......"

Qiu Chen also quickened his pace, walked up the gentle slope quickly, met Liu by the pond at the top of the slope, reached out to hold Liu's hand, and choked out: "Niang ......" His eyes turned red involuntarily, and his voice was choked, unable to speak.

Liu struggled to blink the tears from her eyes to see her daughter more clearly.

"Sea ...... Tang, why are you so thin? Liu carefully looked at his daughter's appearance up and down, and immediately noticed the difference in his daughter, and asked urgently.

Qiu Chen raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on Liu's eyes and cheeks, suppressed the choking in his throat, sniffed, propped up a big smile, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the food outside is not as fragrant as the rice at home, but I'm hungry and thin, this time I come back, my mother will cook me a few delicious meals, and I will make up for it soon!" ”

Liu rubbed Qiu Chen's hand, nodded slowly, and walked back with Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng, brother and sister.

Yang Liancheng, the father of the Yang family, and Zhao, the second sister-in-law of Haitang, also greeted them at this time, and Qiu Chen greeted them one by one with a smile and greeted them. I greeted Lan Ying and a large group of people from the Qingshan family, and the family entered the house happily and noisily.

Walking from the gate of the courtyard to the house, Qiu Chen didn't see the shadows of the children, so he knew that the children must be exercising late in the playground, and it is estimated that he had heard a few shouts of the bolts, and those children were in a hurry at this time!

As soon as he entered the courtyard and talked to the neighbors for a while, Lan Ying and the others all resigned with a smile. Qiu Chen instructed Yufeng: "Go get some snacks and sweets for those children...... Watch them wash their hands before eating! ”

Seeing a group of Tao boys and little girls running out happily after getting snacks and gadgets, Qiu Chen continued to walk in with his family, and did not stop in the first two courtyards, but went straight into the third entrance.

Qingxing came out with a few little girls, and saw Qiu Chen hurriedly kneeling down and kowtowing to salute, Qiu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Qingxing up, greeted with a smile, and the big guys entered the door of the house together, and entered the Xili room where the two elders of the Yang family lived.

Qiu Chen helped Yang Liancheng and Liu to get on the kang, then knelt down on the kang, respectfully kowtowed to say goodbye, got up, and then sat on the edge of the kang. Yufeng and Chunxiang also saluted, retreated to prepare hot water, and packed their luggage.

Qiu Chen turned around and took the hot tea sent by the Zhao family, put it on the kang table casually, and said with a smile, "The second sister-in-law is heavy, don't be busy, there is something for them to do!" ”

Zhao blushed with shame, lowered his head in response, and retreated.

Qiu Chen turned back with a smile, and Liu also leaned over with a smile on his face and whispered: "Looking at the figure of your second sister-in-law, this time it should be a girl......

The old Yang family has guarded Qiu Chen for two lifetimes, Yang Liancheng and the old couple of the Liu family are looking forward to a granddaughter, and their eyes are red in anticipation, this time the Zhao family is just three months pregnant, and the Liu family has already begun to predict.

Qiu Chen felt funny, but he didn't refute Liu's expectations, and nodded with a smile: "It's good to look at the second sister-in-law's complexion, it doesn't seem that the reaction is too strong......

Liu said with a smile on his face: "Yes, she didn't toss a lot when she was pregnant with Junzhang Junli, this time it's worry-free, she eats here and keeps up, and she doesn't have to do any heavy work, this baby has suffered a lot less...... From this point of view, this time it must have changed! ”

I got grandchildren before, and when I changed my appearance, I naturally changed to granddaughters!

Qiu Chen listened with a smile on his face, said a few more words to Liu, and told Yang Liancheng about the journey back to Beijing and the situation of Nannuma Lake, then he came out of the Xili room, returned to the Dongli room where he lived, took a bath with hot water, changed into a thin cotton clothes and pants at home, and asked Qingxing to twist her hair.

When the mother and son saw each other, it was naturally another intimate pleasure, Qiu Chen hugged the two children and kissed them, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Junli's eyes shining, and standing at the door of the house with a little timidity, leaning on the door frame, wanting to walk in, but shy, red and fat bulging cheeks, black and bright round eyes, very cute.

"Junli, come here, come to my aunt......" Qiu Chen beckoned with a smile, Junli twisted and walked forward, but the speed was extremely slow, it was just rubbing......

Afu Aman ran over, one of them took one of Junli's hands, and three babies of about the same size walked in with a smile.

Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to pick up Junli, took out the box containing his own person from the pile of parcels on the kang, and took a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into Junli's small mouth.

"Hey, Begonia, this kid just came back from outside, rolling like a donkey, very dirty, don't hug him......" Zhao Shi hurriedly walked in from outside as soon as he lifted the curtain, and reached out to hug Junli on the kang.

Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, look at you, don't pay attention to ......"

As he spoke, he greeted Yufeng and Qingxing, asked them to take three small ones to the ear room to freshen up, and pulled Zhao to sit on the edge of the kang. Chunxiang sent hot tea up, Qiu Chen took it and handed it to Zhao, and took a box of pastries made by Lin Xianniang and put it in front of Zhao: "Second sister-in-law try this, it's something from the fifth sister's shop, I taste sweeter than the outside, and it's not greasy!" ”

Zhao Shi pinched a piece and put it in his mouth according to the words, ate it slowly, nodded with a smile and pinched another piece, and looked at Qiu Chen with hindsight and said, "It's really like what you said, it's not greasy!" ”

Qiu Chen took the tea and drank it, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't scruple about anything at this time, eat more if you like to eat, and raising your body is the biggest thing." ”

Zhao smiled embarrassedly, ate a snack, and said, "Actually, this time it's okay, this one knows how to hurt people, he didn't toss me much, and there is nothing he can't eat...... Well, I just can't smell the fumes......"

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "There is less reaction, it's good to be able to eat." If you can't smell the fumes, you won't smell them, and we don't have to be busy with that at this time. I know that my sister-in-law is filial, but filial piety is not for a while, you have taken care of your body and given birth to the child smoothly. ”

Zhao nodded shyly, Qiu Chen talked to her for a while, and Qingxing came in to set the meal, and then they came out of the east room together and went to the west room together.

With Yang Liancheng and Liu's there, the room where the family gathered was changed to the room of the old couple, Yang Liancheng sat on the kang, Liu personally served him a bowl and handed the chopsticks, and then sat on the side, and the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law took the bowl and handed the chopsticks, and greeted Qiu Chen with a smile: "After a day's ride, you can sit too!" ”

Qiu Chen responded with a smile, sat down next to Liu on the kang, and Yang Shumeng sat on the other side, watching Zhao take his mother-in-law and girl to put the food up, Liu said to Zhao: "Don't wait here, go and eat!" ”

Zhao smiled and agreed, retreated, and went to the west to eat with the children. The three of Ah Fu and Ah Man Junli were crowded on Qiu Chenkang, and Junwen and the older children pressed the table in the western room.

Talking and eating together, Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng accompanied the old couple to talk, Ah Fu Aman and Jun Li were laughing and playing on the kang, Jun Yan and Jun Zhang also came over to play for a while, Jun Wen Junshu took a few small ones to write homework.

Zhao was pregnant, and she didn't need to accompany her, so she also rested early. Only the Yang brothers and sisters accompanied the old couple to talk. Qiu Chen told the situation of Nanmara Lake in detail, and told the old couple in detail about the situation of the Yang family's shop that he heard from Yang Shuyong, the old couple was very relieved, and it was inevitable that they sighed again, the difficulties of the people after the disaster, Qiu Chen told them that the emperor had sent Qin to come over, and was making every effort to mobilize money and grain for disaster relief.

Until the end of the day, seeing that the old couple of the Yang family had a tired look on their faces, Qiu Chen beckoned the mother-in-law to bring hot water, and waited for the old couple to wash and rest, and she and Yang Shu quit fiercely.

Standing in the hall, Yang Shumeng asked, "Why did you sneak into the epidemic area?" You don't want to think about the two children and our parents......"

It seems that Yang Shu has been holding back these words for a long time, and he is afraid that the old couple of the Yang family will not be in front of them because they are worried that they have not been in front of them, so they will leave the eyes of the old couple at this time, so they will immediately reprimand.

Qiu Chen hurriedly motioned for him to be silent, and pulled him into the east room, and then said with a smile: "Second brother, don't train, eldest brother and sister-in-law...... If I see a person, I will be reprimanded, I will already know that I am wrong, and I will not dare in the future! ”

"Hmph......" Being accompanied by Qiu Chen so softly, Yang Shumeng's anger eased in his heart, he snorted, and still told with a solemn face, "What will you do in the future, think about the old and young ones first, they are so willful!" ”

"Mm-hmm, I've written it all down! No more willfulness! Qiu Chen naturally agreed again and again.

Then, it was natural to change the topic, "Second brother, the second sister-in-law is heavy now, and it is not suitable to travel long distances, anyway, Junzhang and Junli are here, so let the second sister-in-law live." I want to take my father and mother to live in Fucheng for a few days in two days, and soon it will be the Double Ninth Festival. There is a big brother and sister-in-law at home to take care of, and there is not much to do in the past few days after Nanmar Lake, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law can also go home to clean up and take care of it, you can also talk to the second sister-in-law, don't let her worry about the family! ”

Poplar was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Qiu Chen didn't give him a chance to speak again, and pushed him out to rest.

Sending Yang Shumeng away, Qiu Chen went back to the house to wash, crooked on the kang and looked at the household account book sent in by Qingxing, the workshop flowing water sent in by Junwen, and after half a pillar of incense, the children ran in on their feet, Qiu Chen hurriedly put down the account book in his hand, beckoned Yufeng and Qingxing to bring two small bowls of white fungus lotus seed soup up, let the two children eat, and took the children to wash in the ear room, turned back and didn't look at the accounts, and took the two children to the kang to rest.

I haven't slept with my mother for a long time, Afu and Aman are intimate, after all, Afu is a few years older, and he feels that he is his brother, it's not too much, but Aman didn't hesitate to get into Qiu Chen's quilt directly, and his small body nested softly in Qiu Chen's arms, rubbing next to each other, dragging a soft voice and sprinkling: "Mother tells a story......"

Qiu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the little girl's chubby and soft little body, the mother and daughter hugged each other and turned over, in the direction of Ah Fu, Qiu Chen reached out and touched Ah Fu's little face, leaned over and kissed it, Ah Fu gave a rare kiss back, kissed Qiu Chen's heart full of softness and warmth, wrapped the corner of the quilt for his son and daughter, and then slowly began to tell the story: "The words used to be ......"

Back in Liujiaao, Qiu Chen's mood seemed to be calm and soothed, and he got up with the children in the morning and accompanied Liu and Yang Liancheng to take a walk by the pond. Yang Liancheng and the old couple of the Liu family already got along with the surrounding neighbors very well, and when they got together, they began to talk. These old people got together, either to say that the ancients, or to say that the parents in the village were short, and many of them had been very exaggeratedly interpreted, the speaker was foaming at the mouth, and the listener was relishing, Qiu Chen felt tasteless after listening to it for a while, so he greeted his father and mother and went home.

She came back with a big event, and she was still thinking about the peppers and tomatoes!

The backyard of the Lin family is large, and a large hillside is enclosed in the backyard, in addition to the fragrant roe deer shed, the stable and the chicken coop, Qiu Chen planted a lot of fruit trees one after another when he was at home.

As long as the weather is good, the old man Yang will be in the vegetable garden every day, or turn over the soil and hoe the ground, or pull weeds and fertilize, and the vegetable garden is very much in shape, and the twenty or thirty people of the Lin family basically don't have to go outside to buy vegetables, just enough for the family.

Qiu Chen walked straight into the backyard, and first went to the Xiangxiang shed to take a look at Xiangxiang's family, Xiangxiang was almost the same as his father, tall and strong. What made Qiu Chen happy was that Xiangxiang's mother's belly was obviously much bigger, and she obviously had a cub again.

Coming around from the roe deer shed, Qiu Chen searched for tomatoes in the gap between the lentil rack and the cucumber rack. As far back as she recalls, tomatoes were also on the shelves, and the plants were very tall, and many tomatoes would bear on each plant...... It's just that after looking for the vegetables on the shelf, Qiu Chen didn't see the tomatoes she was thinking about, and was worried, did the old man Yang Liancheng feel useless and pull it out?

"Lentils are already out of season, but they can still bear fruit for ten days and a ......half months" I don't know when, Old Man Yang Liancheng walked over, stood behind Qiu Chen, and began to check the growth of lentils.

Qiu Chen hurriedly responded with a smile, and persuaded again: "Dad, don't take care of so many vegetable gardens alone...... Well, you also bring two people out, and I want to buy a few plots of land to grow vegetables this winter...... Our family, plus the workers in the workshop, has a lot of money for just cooking! ”

If you don't let the old man work directly, I'm afraid that it will make the old man unhappy, so I just change my argument and persuade him.

Sure enough, when it came to being diligent and thrifty, Old Man Yang agreed without hesitation: "You didn't say it earlier, there is not much to teach in the vegetable garden at this time!" ”

Qiu Chen stepped forward and picked a large handful of lentils with the old man, and while handing them to the green apricots behind him, he smiled and said, "This year is over, and there will be next year!" ”

Old man Yang Liancheng did not happily admit this time. The old man is still thinking about going back to Yang's shop, the food in Liujiaao is good, but after all, it is his daughter's house, and the old people always feel that their daughter's house is not their own home, and they always feel unsteady.

Qiu Chen also guessed the reason when he saw Old Man Yang's expression, and didn't continue to ask, but said with a smile: "Dad, you see that our back garden is so big, I want to buy more fruit trees to plant in the autumn, you can take the idea and see what we plant here?" ”

Mentioning this topic, Old Man Yang became interested, stood up straight and looked at the situation in the back garden, and thought: "This kind of hillside land, almost any fruit tree can be planted...... Well, the most haode is still persimmon, walnut, peach, plum and apricot are very good, and then find a few quality haode jujube trees to plant...... Three peaches and four pears for five years, and the dates saw the money back then! Planting jujube fruit early, jujube is also useful, and it can be used for cooking, steaming cakes, steaming steamed buns......"

Qiu Chen nodded again and again when he heard this, and was about to show his admiration along the way, when he heard Old Man Yang's words, he pointed to a plant in the vegetable garden and taught him a lesson: "Although you are not short of a few vegetable dollars now, but growing vegetables is the same as doing things, you have to think about whether it is useful or not, and don't fix these useless things, what is the use of looking good, and you have to worry about it every day for fear that the children will eat it greedily, what if you are poisoned?" ……”

Qiu Chen looked at the old man Yang's fingers, his eyes lit up instantly, and he didn't care about listening to what the old man said, he walked over quickly, and with a happy face, he directly picked a red fruit from the plant, took a handkerchief and wiped it, and put it directly in his mouth to eat.

"Hey, you kid, why are you like a child, don't you say this thing is poisonous?" Old Man Yang was startled, and hurriedly went up to stop it by half a beat.

Qiu Chen swallowed a mouthful of sweet and sour tomatoes, and said to the old man with a smile: "Dad, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this thing is not poisonous, and it is delicious...... Well, many big officials in the capital grow their own homes and eat them in the yard! I've eaten it in the capital, otherwise I wouldn't dare to stuff it directly into my mouth! ”

As soon as he heard that he had eaten it in the capital, Old Man Yang believed it a little, but he still couldn't help complaining: "You kid, you didn't make it clear earlier, it scared me ......."

"Dad, I was also happy for a while, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Dad, you really planted it......" Shun Er flattered, looking at Old Man Yang to ease the color, Qiu Chen immediately struck while the iron was hot, and greeted Qingxing and said: "You hurry up and get a basket, let's use this to add vegetables today, and let the family try it!" ”

Qiu Chen had already seen it just now, and the tomatoes had actually survived a lot, and there were more than 100 vegetable gardens all over the place. Although the tomato plants of this era were relatively short, and the fruit was far from being comparable to that of modern tomato varieties, there were one or two dozen red and green on each plant. Moreover, because Mr. Yang watched strictly, he did not let the children harm, some tomatoes were already shrunken when hung on the plants, and they could not be eaten, but they could be used to keep seeds. You can eat all the fresh red tomatoes leftover!

Qingxing quickly carried the basket back with Chunxiang, Qiu Chen excitedly commanded the two of them to pick the red tomatoes, and then said to Old Man Yang: "Dad, you don't know, this tomato ...... Oh, the name given by the people of Kyozato. These tomatoes are very valuable in Beijing, and most people can't eat them, and those big officials are only given to them when they come to the distinguished guests! ”

"Hehe, according to what you say, these red persimmons have become baby balls......" Old Man Yang laughed amused by Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen said with a straight face: "Of course." However, we don't have any guests here, so let's eat at home...... Hehe, thanks to Daddy's blessing, our family is also treated as a distinguished guest of the big official's family......"

After a pause, he praised again: "Oh, Daddy's name is good, red persimmon, red persimmon...... It's easy to remember if it's easy to remember, our family is called red persimmon! ”

Old man Yang was praised by his daughter, and his old face turned into a chrysanthemum. Seeing that the old man was happy, Qiu Chen was also sincerely happy, and helped the old man Yang to go back.

Back in the backyard, Qiu Chen immediately washed the few tomatoes he brought back, cut them into watermelon petals, put them in a bowl and sprinkled a layer of sugar on them for the old man and Liu: "Mother, you taste it, my father planted good things...... Dad, try it too! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen handed the two spoons to the old couple, and Liu scooped a piece into his mouth first, ate it slowly, and said in surprise: "Sweet and sour, it's really delicious!" Before, the children looked rare, and your father still didn't let him move with a black face, saying that it was a poisonous ......"

Liu praised it, then turned around and unceremoniously dismantled Old Man Yang's platform. Old Man Yang was embarrassed by what he said, and snorted, "If you don't say that, you won't let that group of leather monkeys be plagued a long time ago, where can you keep it......"

Liu Shi also turned quickly, and immediately smiled and said: "Also, those boys are enough to be tao, if it weren't for your father's strict view, it is estimated that there would be no left!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at the warm interaction between the old couple, smiled and echoed a few words, and said, "Daddy, you don't have to keep it, you picked a lot, and there are still ...... for the children I've also tried a few ways to eat it, I'll go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes for everyone to try......"

Old man Yang also helped beside him: "Well, you can eat, there are still a lot of them in the back garden, enough for those naughty boys to eat!" You don't have to keep them in mind all the time! ”

Qiu Chen had already walked out of the room, and when he heard the old man's words of concern, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile secretly. Don't look at the old lady and the old man sometimes tear down each other, in fact, they have been with each other for a lifetime, and they have supported each other all the way through ups and downs, this relationship is ...... Deep!

Tomato salad, stir-fry, and soup are not complicated, Qiu Chen took the green apricot spring fragrance and carried the tomatoes straight to the kitchen.

The cold tomatoes were estimated to be liked by the children, so she made more and mixed two pots, one for the children and the other for Zhao. The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes should be liked by the pregnant Zhao.

After that, Qiu Chen occupied a stove, fried a tomato egg, and made a tomato egg drop soup. There was still a small half basket of tomatoes left, so Qiu Chen asked Qingxing: "Take these washes and give them to the girls and boys to taste them!" ”

Qingxing happily responded and went out with the basket.

Qiu Chen and Chunxiang took a pot of cold tomatoes and turned back, and soon, the children came back from morning practice, and after washing, Qiu Chen brought out the cold tomatoes, and was warmly welcomed by the children. Zhao also likes cold tomatoes, and is even more moved by the thoughtfulness of the sister-in-law, who has always felt unsteady before, but also a lot more down-to-earth.

After tasting several tomato dishes, Yang Shumeng pondered for a while and said, "Begonia, this red persimmon is a good thing...... It's a rarity here for us, and I think that in the future, those in the garden don't need to be eaten, and they are all kept as seeds, and next year we will have more varieties, and we can sell them for at least two years for good money! ”

After more than a year of training, Second Brother Yang is also very economically conscious.

"Second brother, this idea is good!" Qiu Chen smiled and gave Yang Shumeng an affirmative answer first, and then said with a smile: "However, there is no need to leave them all, there are a lot of seeds in such one, I just looked in the garden, many red persimmons are ripe and begin to dry out, these are enough to plant a few acres of land left as seeds...... Second brother, you also said, this is a rare thing, I'm afraid not many people dare to eat it in the first year, let's plant some next year, and more the year after...... That makes you sell for more money! ”
