Chapter 34: Rumors

Xia Mei was in a trance, and she always felt a stone pressing on her chest, and she was sullen and out of breath. Xia Mei, who was sleeping, was breathing more and more rapidly, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked closely, only to find that Tang Bao, this kid, was pressed on her, no wonder she couldn't breathe!

Xia Mei pinched Tang Bao's fat ass angrily, "Stinky boy, you are not honest when you sleep!" ”

Then carefully put him aside, Tang Bao muttered in his mouth, turned over and fell asleep again.

In the past two months, Tang Bao has grown a lot of flesh due to the improvement of his food, his little face is chubby, his hair is black and shiny, and his whole person is refreshed.

And because of the summer, often playing outside, the complexion is also a little dark, showing a healthy color, the previous Tang Bao, a small person with a very heavy mind, now with the village children play more, but also have the appearance of a normal child, a lot more lively.

This is exactly the effect that Xia Mei enjoyed, a happy childhood has a great impact on people's growth, and Xia Mei is deeply touched. Children should look like children, carefree, innocent, and grow up in the future, so that they will not blindly believe in others because of emotional vacancies.

However, Xia Mei frowned, fortunately, Wen Xi and Yun Ni were only eight and nine years old, otherwise how could they squeeze the four of them on this kang! Therefore, it is better to repair the house as soon as possible...... I don't know if my "savings" are enough......

Xia Mei lay on the bed in a daze, she ran through all the villages in Qingshan Town yesterday, and today Qin Zhihan specially gave her a holiday and let her rest for a day. Anyway, it's been closed for five days, and it's not a bad day.

Xia Mei looked at the sky, then got up cautiously and went to get breakfast.

Out of the door, Erhei happily ran up, circled excitedly around her feet, and kept wagging his little tail.

Xia Mei was going to see what had grown in the vegetable garden in the corner, and whether she could add a vegetable, but she had actually forgotten what she had planted, and when she came to the vegetable garden, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, the vines of green beans and cowpeas have grown for a long time, and the eggplants are also blooming, and there are some unrecognizable vines and vegetable seedlings, all of which are growing very well, but fortunately, she kept an eye on it at the time, and surrounded a fence with yellow wattle strips (a kind of shrub), otherwise the two chickens would have caused her trouble.

Xia Mei happily wanted to roar to vent, this was the first time she had farmed by herself, she didn't expect the harvest to be so good, in fact, she didn't know that Tang Bao had a lot of credit for this.

Every day, Tang Bao kept in mind that he fed the chickens, picked up eggs, and watered his mother's small vegetable garden. That's what it is today.

But Tang Bao is still young after all, and he doesn't know that these vine vegetables have to be built to bear fruit, so there is a current situation where the ground is full of vines. But it's not in the way, Xia Mei knows it.

Xia Mei boiled porridge on a low fire in the pot, walked quickly to the back of the house and cut a dozen yellow wattle sticks, shaved the leaves, and went back to build a frame for the vegetable garden.

This yellow vitex is a good thing, dry can be used as firewood, extremely easy to burn, the root can also be used to cure colds, there is a kind of yellow vitex root used to boil chicken soup, the most delicious.

When she was almost busy, there was a whispered voice of Wen Xi and Tang Bao in the house, it seemed that both of them were up, Xia Mei was busy going to the kitchen to heat up the corn tortillas sent by Xinghua yesterday, this tortilla is at this time of year, every household has to get good things, relatives and neighbors have to send each other to taste, Xia Mei's family naturally does not have it, so Xinghua brought it over better, or Yunni took it.

Xia Mei took two pieces, cut them into finger-sized pieces, added some salt and oil, and fried them with sugar, and the aroma was instantly overflowing.

Tang Bao "floated" in along the aroma, and Xiao Erhei wagged his tail and followed behind him, "Mother, it's so fragrant......"

Xia Mei "snapped" and gently knocked off Tang Bao's evil little hand, "Go wash your hands and face, and then come over to eat!" ”

"Oh......" Tang Bao immediately returned to Wen Xi when he heard this, insisted on washing his face very principledly, and after washing it carefully, he returned to the kitchen to help serve the meal.

Yunni also woke up at this moment, dressed herself, and slowly walked out of the room. In view of the fact that it was morning, the temperature was relatively cool, and proper exercise was also beneficial, Xia Mei asked Yunni to sit over, and the four of them sat on the small bench specially bought by Xia Mei, and ate breakfast in a warm atmosphere, while Xiao Erhei sat on the ground and watched everyone.

In this era, white sugar is still very precious, and sugar cane can be squeezed into juice and then exposed to the sun to become a lens, and then ground into granules, like salt. The market is generally divided into jaggery and fine sugar, the fine sugar is filtered and then dried, which is more refined and pure, and the sweetness is also high, while the jaggery is the opposite.

Xia Mei's jaggery is 20 wen a catty, and the fine sugar is as high as 50 wen a catty, which is scary. To be honest, Xia Mei really couldn't get used to this taste, the sugar was uneven, and there was some scum, but seeing Tang Bao's face full of happiness, she couldn't say anything disgusted.

"Mother, can I bring some for Tiezhu to eat later? He gave me Erhei, and I want to treat him to something delicious! ”

Xia Mei was a little relieved, knowing that sharing is one of the good qualities of children, "Well, it's good for Tang Bao to make his own decisions." ”

"Thank you, mother!" Tang Bao quickly drank the porridge in the bowl, and Xia Mei took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Tang Bao took out his small handkerchief, Xia Mei specially put it on him to wipe his nose or something, but now this one is clean, Tang Bao quietly waited for everyone to finish, and then wrapped some of the fried corn tortillas left in the bowl in the handkerchief, and carefully put them in his pocket.

couldn't wait to say goodbye to everyone, Tang Bao still didn't forget to pick up eggs and water the vegetable garden before leaving, and then ran out.

Xia Mei also knew that her vegetable garden was inseparable from Tang Bao's hard work.

Wen Xi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Mei went to the river to wash clothes, and met many women in the village who were washing, and when they saw her coming, they all exchanged some heads, Xia Mei sighed in her heart, it seems that the things in the town are not hidden......

was about to find a clean place, when someone suddenly called out to her: "Tang Bao, damn it!" There's a location, come here! ”

Xia Mei followed the prestige, but she didn't feel it, "it, you're also doing laundry." ”

"Yes, it's been a big day these days, and I'm busy harvesting corn in the field, and I'm piling up a pile of dirty clothes, no, I came early to occupy a good position." Li Xue smiled and said to Xia Mei.

Xia Mei came to the stone next to Li Xue, and beat the clothes with a mallet when they got wet. Xia Mei couldn't accept the ashes of the plants, so she bought some soap powder to use.

Li Xue pulled Xia Mei's sleeve and whispered: "Tang Bao, don't care about this group of people who love to chew the root of their tongue, they are jealous of your money!" ”

Xia Mei's heart warmed and smiled slightly: "I know, I won't care." ”

Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Xia Mei would return to her previous appearance, after all, now in the village, her rumors are a little ......

"Yo! Everyone, look who this is?! Have I not heard that some people have earned money without conscience and are being put in prison? What, this was released? ”

Xia Mei frowned, and when she looked back, a plump woman in a tight pink dress was looking at her sarcastically, the woman's makeup was bright, with beaded flowers on her head, and there was a very strong fragrance in the wind.
