The night was sleepless, and the sky was just dawning.

Chen Qiuniang went to the well in the courtyard to get cold water to wash. At that time, the third and fifth children, as well as a cadre, were all staring at her like an old cat staring at a mouse, staring at her tightly, as if she would turn into a puff of green smoke and float away at any time.

In fact, after last night's conversation with Xiao Wu, she was not too worried about her own safety, but worried about Zhang Ci's injury. Because she has a hunch that if Zhang Ci is here, her career will get better quickly and her life will get better. If there was no Zhang Ci, she would have to go around to Zhang Luo to find a collaborator, or even a backer or something.

However, although she was worried about Zhang Ci, she did not take the initiative to ask. At this time, all she has to do is wait and see what happens. So, after she finished washing, she called Qiuxia and Qiusheng to get up, and told Qiuxia to wash the faces of her two younger brothers, and Qiusheng made a fire, while she took a basket and went out.

She walked to the gate of the courtyard and was stopped by the third and fifth children, and the third asked where to go in a rather bad tone.

"Pick vegetables and make breakfast." Chen Qiuniang replied.

"It's just dawning, what tricks are you playing?" The third breath is still not good.

Chen Qiuniang could hear what he meant: It's just dawning, and it's too early to make breakfast.

In this time and space, there is a lack of material, and the purpose of eating is only to hang on to life. Therefore, most people eat two meals a day, that is, breakfast as late as possible, dinner as late as possible, and drink some hot water for lunch. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason to make breakfast so early.

"What tricks am I playing? Although my family is poor, I have a young brother here, and I do eat three meals a day. Chen Qiuniang raised the basket, bypassed in front of the third and fifth children, and went straight to the vegetable field.

"Really?" The third child still spoke in a distrustful tone, and turned his head to sweep the Chen family. The meaning couldn't be more obvious: ordinary people eat two meals, and your family is simply a fighter in the midst of hardship, and they also eat three meals a day, which is obviously blind.

Chen Qiuniang didn't answer, so she walked to the vegetable field. In the vegetable field, there are eggplants and water spinach planted by Chen Liu's family, but they are all sprouts and cannot be eaten. This time, Chen Qiuniang is going to pick the young shoots of hibiscus that are stored as vegetable fence plants.

In these years, there was a lack of material, not only could not smell meat on the table, but even rice and noodles were used as condiments. Most of the time, people eat all kinds of vegetable leaves and dregs, while rice noodles are sprinkled with a few grains in it to take a taste and make it fresh. Pure rice, that has to be eaten by the rich and noble.

Therefore, when spring comes, people are like hungry locusts, rushing to eat all the leaves and wild vegetables that they can eat. However, fortunately, in this time and space, people only planted hibiscus for the fence of the vegetable garden in front of the house and behind the house, and did not know that the young shoots and buds of hibiscus were edible and delicious.

"Can you eat this?" Xiao Wu looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"yes." Chen Qiuniang is not idle in her hands, carefully selects the young shoots, and pays attention to not picking them all, and must leave some for each branch, so as to facilitate the healthy growth and flowering of hibiscus.

"I've never heard of it. Aren't you hungry and panicked, and you can't grab other wild vegetables from others, so you just eat them? Beware of poisoning. "Xiao Wu is about a person who talks a lot, and he has been lonely for a long time standing guard with the third child, so he seized the opportunity at this time, as if he wanted to say enough at one time.

"You're right. I really can't rob other wild vegetables. But this hibiscus is not poisonous. As early as in the "Book of Songs", there is a record of eating hibiscus, which is used to make cakes with noodles, or boil tofu, or boil porridge. In a fragment of an ancient style that I occasionally found in the Qingcheng County Bookstore before, it was also mentioned that the sprouts of hibiscus were full of juice, fragrant and refreshing, and they could be boiled porridge, steamed vegetables, and blanched and cold. Chen Qiuniang casually gave Xiao Wu a science popularization of how to eat hibiscus flowers.

Such a popular science suddenly remembered when I was a child. At the end of March every year, when the sun is warm, she and her grandmother pick hibiscus sprouts and stir-fry, and her grandmother's cooking skills are very good, and every time, she eats sweetly. At the end of April, when the hibiscus flowers bloom, my grandmother would pick the hibiscus flowers outside the house, wash them, mix the noodles, sprinkle them with green onions, and fry them in a pan of oil, which is crispy and fragrant.

She eats happily, but her grandmother is always stunned. On several occasions, she also saw her grandmother crying secretly. At that time, I was young, and I didn't know that my grandmother had such a past, so I didn't know that she was thinking about such a person who was destined to not give her a future, and reminiscing about the good times of those youths.

Later, in Switzerland, my grandmother occasionally talked about that person, saying that the person had a bad mouth and couldn't eat at every turn. In addition, the turbulent situation during that time, the north and south of the river came and went, and he became thinner and thinner, and his temper was also irritable. She is a big girl, and she feels very sorry for him. is racking his brains to change ways to make food for him. The hibiscus and shallots omelet, stir-fried hibiscus sprouts, and cold salad are his favorites.

At that time, she heard it gloomily, her grandmother's cooking skills turned out to be all for him, and she ate exquisitely and tricky, and it was all for him. She loves that person like that, wants him to eat well, and secretly gives birth to a child for him. It took a lifetime to miss him and love him.

Although my grandmother was very peaceful when she left at the end, before leaving, she whispered to herself: I'm here, Qingyuan.

But she was not moved by her grandmother's love. She is too eager and pragmatic person, and she can't do it with such miserable waiting.

If you don't love me, I don't. No future love, I don't want it. Anyone who can't give me happiness must get out. This is her character, and she can be cruel to herself.

She wants to be happy, to eat well, to dress well, to live with dignity and at ease. And what my grandmother wants is love. This is also what makes her different from her grandmother.

"Sounds delicious, is it really in the book?" Xiao Wu asked loudly, interrupting her memories.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask your cousin or second son to check it." Chen Qiuniang replied.

"It's good to read." Xiao Wu sighed.

At this time, there was rumbling footsteps, but it was a lot of people from Xiaoliulang's side, who were still well-trained, neat, and uniform, and even the clothes were uniform. It seems that Zhang Ci's injuries are very serious, and the dangers around him are still there, otherwise Zhang Fu would not be like this.

However, will Zhang Fu be too ostentatious like this? With such fanfare, it is clear that Zhang Ci is here. If the enemy has the heart to give Zhang Ci death, then even if you are an impregnable army, there will be a hundred secrets, and those assassins are not the most patient and wait for the best opportunity? Chen Qiuniang couldn't understand Zhang Fu's actions.

"It looks like the third lady is here." Xiao Wu muttered to himself.

"It's the old lady and the third lady." The third child on the side said after a while, and then said uncertainly, "It seems that there is still Jingliang." ”

"Even Jing Liang is here, the second son's injury" Xiao Wu's tone was full of worry.

Chen Qiuniang was also surprised, this Xiao Wu's tone before did not have any peace of mind, as if she firmly believed that his second son would be fine. That's the tone here.

Could it be that Zhang Ci is really in danger and will not be able to do it at any time? This old lady of Zhangfu is said to be the same as the Empress Dowager of Zhangfu, who is not out of the mansion for a single step, and now she has come to this willow village in person.

The third child glared at Xiao Wu fiercely and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Jing Liang is here, the second son will be fine." ”

"Yes, yes, with Jing Liang, the second son will definitely be fine." Xiao Wu also muttered to himself, and the whole person seemed very nervous. Chen Qiuniang looked at it for a while, Xiao Wu didn't know if he was nervous or what, so he said to himself, saying that Jing Liang was a famous doctor, and he had a wonderful hand to rejuvenate or something, and the second master was out of breath a few years ago, and it was Jing Liang who rescued him.

After that, Xiao Wu chattered for a while, praising that Jing Liang was a miracle doctor, and they all praised it like a Daluo immortal. In short, he will argue that his second son is fine.

"Okay, your second son's heart is tenacious, not comparable to ordinary people. It's going to be fine. Chen Qiuniang really couldn't look at it, so she comforted the hibiscus shoots casually.

"Mmmm, it's going to be fine." Xiao Wu nodded vigorously as if he had found a soulmate.

Chen Qiuniang didn't pay attention to it, whether this Zhang family wanted to trouble her or something next, that was the next thing. Now, all she had to do was eat breakfast.

She picked a basket of hibiscus sprouts, washed and crushed them, and put them in the clear soup that had been sprinkled with a handful of millet in advance, and made hibiscus leaf rice porridge, which was used as breakfast for the whole family. She filled a bowl for one person in the family, and took a clean cloth to make a filtered nutrient solution for the two younger brothers.

After such a period of busyness, the bright sun came out in gold. Xiao Wu and the third child were still standing motionless at the door of her courtyard.

Chen Liushi was very worried, and asked in a low voice, "How long are they going to stand here?" What does this make the people in the village think of us? ”

"Grandma, don't worry too much, it's just a matter of a few days." Chen Qiuniang replied. She expected that it would be a matter of the past few days, Zhang Ci woke up, or hung up, and these people withdrew.

Since the young man in blue said so, her family was not in danger, Zhang Ci hanged, and these people withdrew. At the same time, Zhang Ci woke up and knew that she had not poisoned her, so these people also withdrew.

"Really?" Chen Liushi is still not at ease.

Chen Qiuniang didn't want to say anything more to her. She still had a lot to think about quietly, so she asked Chen Qiuxia and Qiusheng to go to the rice field outside to catch some fat grasshoppers, and at the same time, go to the place where the water is slow in Luodong Bay, and pick a bundle of grass that grows at the water's edge, what is the local name willow grass.

"Can you eat that?" Chen Qiuxia asked very seriously, admiring her eldest sister. In her opinion, if the eldest sister says that it can be eaten, it must be delicious.

"That's not, I'm useful. Don't steal it, you can't eat it. Also, you must not be greedy, especially not to go down the river. These days, the river is swollen and turbulent. Chen Qiuniang carefully explained to the two of them, and told Chen Qiusheng to look at Chen Qiuxia carefully.

Chen Qiusheng received the order, and the two of them staggered out. The people of Zhang's Mansion didn't stop them, but they just stood there, estimating that they couldn't let Chen Qiuniang go if they received orders.

Chen Qiuniang was bored, so she was playing with her younger brother in the house, thinking about her future path and the situation in front of her. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it for a while.

At this moment, I heard the descendants outside the house shouting: "Miss Chen, our old lady is invited, come with us." ”

"Who are you old ladies? Why do you want to see my Qiu Niang? Chen Liushi took the lead in stopping at the door, blocking Chen Qiuniang behind him, and looked at the third and fifth children coldly.

"Back to the old man's house, my old lady is the old lady of Zhangfu in Liuhe Town." Xiao Wu is very polite.

"The big families have nothing to do with the mountain villagers like us, you go back and tell me, there is no friendship at all, and you don't have any dealings." Chen Liu's tone was extremely tough, and he only tightly protected Chen Qiuniang behind him.

"I'm afraid I can't help you." The third child spoke in a tough tone.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to rob the people's daughters? This is Liucun, not Liuhe Town. Chen Liushi scolded.

Chen Qiuniang only felt speechless, what is there to be proud of in this Liu Village. It is easy for Zhangfu to set foot in Liucun.

"Miss Chen went to Liu Langzhong's house, and my second son fell unconscious. She is a suspect in the crime. The old lady asked her to go, but to ask for clarification. Zhang Fu will not ask indiscriminately, nor will he wronged good people, please rest assured, old people. This time it was not the third child who answered, but Jiang Hang, who came in a hurry.

It was still a polite gesture, but Chen Liushi sounded manic, and screamed: "You are bullying others, bullying our orphans and widows. ”

"Old man, it's not what you think. My old lady just met Qiu Niang. "Jiang Hang's temper is still very good.

Chen Liushi was about to have another seizure, but Chen Qiuniang pulled her and said, "Grandma, you can rest assured." I have heard people say that Zhang Fu is kind and charitable, and such people will not wronged good people in vain. I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

"No, I'll go with you." Chen Liushi is unusually tough.

"Nope. My brother still needs to be taken care of, if you and I are gone, and a bad guy kidnaps my brother, where can we find it? Recently, there have been a lot of strangers in this village. Besides, in these years, it is their blessing to sell it to large families to raise. But grandma also knows that in these days, most of the buyers and sellers are buying and eating. Chen Qiuniang's words were thrown out, which was justified and well-founded, but it was not to scare Chen Liu's family, because such things happened too much. It's not a big deal.

Chen Liushi was silent and said "but", Chen Qiuniang immediately lowered her voice and said, "Besides, you don't think Dad can count on it." I am the eldest daughter, and I always have to take care of the family before I grow up in the fall. In some worlds, grandma has to let me go and see them. ”

Chen Qiuniang said as she held Chen Liu's hand and signaled her to feel at ease. Chen Liushi was speechless, only felt that Chen Qiuniang's words were reasonable, so he sighed, saying that there was nothing to be done about this situation now, so he was extremely reluctant to let her go with Jiang Hang.
