Lin Zhu conscientiously finished transplanting tomato seedlings, and began to transplant eggplant, pepper and cucumber seedlings. These seedlings were all grown from the vegetable seeds she brought back from Dingyuan. There are not many of them, and even fewer of them are planted, and there are no more than ten plants per variety.

The eggplant is the round shape that can be made into braised eggplant, the chili pepper is a thick vegetable pepper for stir-frying, and the cucumber is the kind of emerald green with long strips, and the seeds are less fleshy and fat, and it is very refreshing to eat.

The appearance of these dishes is very similar to these kinds in the previous life, but I don't know if they are which varieties. Wait until it's ripe and look at it, if not, it's still slowly cultivated,

It's already good to be able to breed vegetable seedlings.

After a few vegetables were transplanted, I straightened up and looked at it, and the depth should be about the same. This is the case with the vegetable seedlings transplanted by Dad in previous years, burying all the roots in the ground, leaving half of the stems of the vegetable seedlings in the ground, and the vegetable leaves must not be buried in the ground.

She went to fetch two more buckets of water and left them to dry in the sun for a while. It is said that water that has been basked in the sun is more nutritious than water that has just been drawn from a well. After watering the vegetable seedlings one by one, I saw that the vegetable seedlings were full of drink and blew mud bubbles.

Say to yourself: That's it. That's when it stopped. When I looked up, I saw that the second lady was still squatting in the vegetable field at the end of the vegetable garden, planting potatoes intently.

I want to be a hard worker these days. Originally, it was the work of the same father and one person. The progress was much slower than when my father was there, but it never stopped. Mother said, go on like this, wait for Dad to come back in five or six days, all the potatoes. The beans have been planted in the ground. So I went to the kitchen to boil water, made a pot of hot tea, and brought it over.

Drinking tea can refresh you.

She poured a cup of tea very intimately and served it with both hands, and said very emotionally: "Mother, drink some tea to refresh yourself and relieve fatigue." Rest for a while and then do it, this work is not something that can be done in a day or two, take your time. ”

Cai Erniangzi took the tea bowl and took a sip, put it on the ground, and said, "Zhu'er, you go and get busy with you." Don't worry about it. Mother just moved while doing it. It's only a few days. ”

As long as her daughter can understand her hard work. The daughter can do it better than herself and the man. She just wanted her to see that she was working hard, for her, for this family.

It's no wonder if you're not tired, if you're not tired! Lin Zhu looked at Cai Er Niangzi distressedly. In the vegetable garden for so long. She deeply realized that the job of growing vegetables seemed simple. It's actually a very difficult job. From the beginning of spring every year. When there is no leisure time, plough the ground and fertilize, raise seedlings and sow seeds. Transplanting, weeding, pest control, watering. , picking, is the winter also covered fertilizer.

Among these jobs, there are the most tiring ones, take planting potatoes as an example. Dig the small pit not deep or shallow, bury the broken potato cubes with the sprouts upward, and sprinkle some grass and wood ashes, so that people can not get up, they can only squat. It's a little difficult to smooth the ground with your feet, so you can help with your hands. Usually, when my father and mother are here, my mother just needs to follow behind my father, cover the soil with her feet, and then smooth it out. Now she is alone, and she also caresses with her hands.

In this way, if you squat in the ground for a long time, when you get up, you often have back pain and dizziness.

Especially women also have stomach aches.

But Cai Erniang just didn't let her help, no matter how hard she tried.

She insisted on standing behind her mother and said, "Mother, if you are tired, take a rest." Actually, it doesn't have to be so hard. Dad said, slow down, wait for him to come back, and the work on my daughter's side is also done, I will help my mother cover the soil. ”

Cai Er Niangzi glanced back at her daughter, her eyes were full of concern, and her heart was moved. Slowly straightened up and looked into the distance. The vegetable seedlings that my daughter just transplanted, although there are not many, they are presentable. The vegetable seedlings are very upright, and the water is also thorough.

I feel relieved and seem to see hope. Although my daughter has no good tea and rice, she hardly knows how to sew and thread. But she is very spiritual in other places, this kind of spirituality is not something that ordinary people can achieve, she firmly believes that the vegetables grown by her daughter must be very special, and the old lady of Yanfu can look at it, just like last winter's mushrooms, spinach and leeks.

My daughter is so smart that she will not be like herself in the future. You don't have to work as hard as you do.

So the daughter only needs to do what she wants to do well, and she will do all the same work.

And she also wants to plant everything she can in the soil before the man returns. A man has to do such a decent thing when he goes out and walks so far. She felt that the man was going to do something this time by talking in front of people, which was very face-saving. It must be very tiring, and I have to plan a wedding when I come back. Although these dishes are not in a hurry, they also have a solar term. If you plant too late, it will affect the quality.

She stretched her waist, took a few sips of the tea that her daughter gave her again, felt a little more comfortable, and squatted down again

Start planting.

She reminded her daughter to wear gloves and didn't see her breaking ground and cold water. But he never scruples. Because of her long-term work, one of her hands was red, swollen and rough, and the cracks in the palms were very deep, as if they had been cut by a knife, and they looked like old dried tree bark. Now his hands are covered with ashes. Dust has gotten into the cracks, making it look even rougher.

Lin Zhu couldn't bear to get up, his mother was not yet forty. These hands are like seventy or eighty, older than the hands of Lin Zhang, who is too old. This is the result of years of hard work, the hand is a woman's second face, and her mother ruined her second face for life, which really made her embarrassed.

For the Nth time, she secretly made up her mind: she must let her mother live the best life in the future, and never let her eat in the soil.

But it's not right now, the family of three has no other skills, and they have to rely on the vegetable garden of Yanfu to make a living. If you want to enjoy comfort, you don't have that condition and can't meet that standard......

Now the direction that needs to be worked hard is to grow vegetables well and order a variety of fresh and delicious dishes. As the saying goes, 72 lines are the champions, and growing vegetables is also a line. In the future, I will also be proud of the title of the champion of vegetable growers.

She stood behind Cai Er Niangzi and looked at a large patch of tender green, dark green and light green in front of her. Imagination unfolded.

A garden full of vegetables. Most people have it, what red and white radish, small cabbage, big cabbage. Next, gourd, beard, edamame, bean, eggplant or something. There are also those that people don't have, such as tomatoes and leeks. Now there are new varieties. It seems that in the previous life, there were cauliflowers, the same as oil and wheat cabbage or something, and I don't know if I can find a way to grow them.

Come to think of it, as long as you continue to work hard and bring forth the new, the future should be immeasurable. Aren't the mushrooms launched during the Chinese New Year last year very popular with the old lady? That's just a variety of mushrooms, and if you continue to study and cultivate, the appearance of enoki mushrooms and chicken leg mushrooms on the table should not be a dream...... She didn't even dare to think that if the tomatoes were successful this year. What a sensation it will cause. Tomatoes her favorites: round, red, sour, sweet. I can be used as a vegetable. and can be used as a fruit. Especially in the middle of summer. Cut one and sprinkle it with sugar, and it tastes so cool.

Tomatoes used to make her miss so much.

And the round eggplant, she can even think of the aroma of braised eggplant. This round eggplant has a fat flesh. Strong oil absorption. The fried oily and greasy ones are much more delicious than the long strips in the vegetable garden now. It is better to marinate the long strips as coleslaw. There is also fried shredded pork with chili peppers, which is not spicy and sucky like the vegetable garden, it is the kind of fat and thick big chili peppers, which look good when fried, and it is not too spicy to eat, and it can be made into tiger skin chili.

There are also emerald green strips of cucumbers, and pickled cucumber strips are the best......

Oh! By the way, there is also the leek that was already inadvertently successful last year. It's a great ingredient for making dumplings.

Looking forward to the future of the vegetable garden, it is really unimaginably beautiful.

She closed her eyes and was intoxicated with the fantasy that it would not be long before so many tall vegetables would appear in the garden. All of them were the most expensive in their previous lives. The old lady of Yanfu will send someone to handpick every day, and the shopkeeper Qi of Juxian Building in the town, and even Jin Xiaoguang will come to her. Many others came to her with money and begged her to buy some and try it.

It's really exciting.

I fantasized about it for a while, and I felt almost excited. When she opened her eyes, her mother had already squatted and walked out for several meters, and the ground under her feet had been smoothed.

She sighed softly. Beautiful fantasies take time and perseverance to come true. My mother worked hard, squatting in the ground for half an hour, and I still lacked patience.

, my father is not here, and my mother is working so hard. She has to do more work for her mother. You can't be as free and loose as your dad was when he was there.

Since her mother doesn't let her do the rough work in the field, she should do what she can.

She first went to feed the chickens and pigs, then put on coarse cloth gloves and began to sweep the yard. The yard was small and only a small patch in front of the house, so she swept the path leading to the vegetable garden.

Cai Er Niangzi shouted to her: "Zhu'er, don't sweep it." It's been busy these days, so I'll sweep it when your dad comes back, and no one will come in anyway. After a busy morning, you go to sit on the kang and rest for a while. After planting these in the basket, my mother came back to cook. ”

Still want to cook for her? Thinking of his mother's rough hands covered with plant ash, Lin Shu put down the broom and said, "Mother, the rice is ready-made, and there is so much dry food, just eat some pickles." Tea is also available. ”

Cai Er Niangzi said: "You eat dry food, my mother drinks some yellow batter, my mother is good for this." I'll have to cook you a few cabbages. Purse only eggs. ”

This mother just doesn't know how to cherish herself.

Dozens of dry food were burned, and my father only brought a few. She was reluctant to eat it, and wanted to keep it until the man came back to eat.

For three or four days, I drank yellow batter every day, and said that I liked to drink it.

The devil believes! The yellow batter is fragrant and fragrant with a little sweetness and some pickles to drink the yellow batter and drink it every day, and the stomach will be sour, and I don't eat dry food.

It's no wonder that the body is not thin.

Lin Zhu didn't speak, went into the kitchen to get some pickles, picked up four dry foods, walked to the dining table, and sat and waited.

But she didn't wait for Cai Erniang, and at a glance saw Yan Qiuyin, who had been lost for a long time, walk over in a gorgeous dress, followed by Yinyu, who was becoming more and more beautiful and fit.

Since she was chased and slapped last time, Yan Wuwu pulled her away, and she has never been seen again.

What did she come to do? It's hard to find fault again!

Lin Zhu was startled, and subconsciously got up and walked out. If this arrogant pseudo-rich girl who doesn't know the height of the sky is really looking for trouble, she will really be in trouble this time. Yan Wuwu is not there, and Dabao is not here, if she plays tricks again, there will be no one to stop her.

This time I handled it carefully.

She slowly greeted her, bent down slightly and stepped forward to salute, and greeted in a low voice: "Hello Third Miss, Third Miss Come into the house and sit."

Yan Qiuyin pulled a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can't see you, it's naturally good." You will not be allowed to enter the house, and you will not see what kind of house you have, and the servants and maids live. Can you sit down? ”

Insults, naked insults.

I can't sit on people, I don't know who sat in it again and again with tears in my eyes the first few times. The stinky third lady who looks down on people and likes the poor and loves the rich, many years ago, your mother was not born as a maid. If you change your body, you will look down on people. When Sanssouci was there, she wasn't so obvious.

After Yan Qiuyin finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Yinyu behind her, and Yinyu was also busy squeezing out a sneer.

Although she didn't agree with Miss's approach in her heart, Miss's mother was a maid, and she was also a maid. Talking like this will make her sit in the opposite seat.

But the carefree prince had already been engaged to the third miss before leaving, and the third miss would be the young lady of Yanfu in the future, and she was the one with the most noble status except for the old lady. A certain knot is good.

Lin Shu bit his lip and chose to be silent,

Yan Wuwu is not in Dabao, it is best not to cause trouble. If she wants to say anything, let her say it, and just listen to the noise.

Yan Qiu walked around the courtyard with a weak wind, touched the soil on the wall of the house, clapped his hands, reached out and took a piece of white silk handkerchief from Yinyu's hand, wiped it and threw it away. "It's still so dirty." Is that your mother? What are you doing crouching there? How to look like an old woman. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yinyu and laughed disdainfully.

Lin Zhu still bowed his head and remained silent. The two masters and servants sang and harmonized. If you don't have a sleepy mouth, let them say whatever they want.

Just like they were talking to themselves.

Yan Wuwu and Yinyu walked around the vegetable garden, after saying sarcastic words.

looked at her and said, "You know that Miss Ben and her second brother are married." Then now Miss Ben is the young lady of Yan Mansion, except for the second brother of Lao Taijun, everyone has to listen to Miss Ben. The vegetable garden is only a very small industry in our Yan Mansion, Miss Ben thinks that there are so many streets in the town that you can eat vegetables in the house, you just need to pay for it, and you don't need any vegetable garden at all. So, from now on, you father and daughter, let the three of you leave the vegetable garden. ”

It's so reasonable. Don't you know that you haven't passed through the door yet? It stands to reason that a woman who has never been through the door should live in her own home, and it is okay if she doesn't have a home. Before getting married, I took care of my in-laws' affairs. Isn't it very unruly?

Besides, she is the maid on the roster of Yanfu, and her father and mother are also the descendants of Yanfu who justifiably take the moon stipend. Just rely on her words, just leave.

And this vegetable garden, the father and mother themselves have worked hard.

Lin Zhu slowly raised his head. (To be continued......)
