"Chun Tao, have you been to the big house in the east?"

"No, no one in the village has ever been there, maybe Uncle Lizheng has been! His door is guarded! Don't let people get close. It's not fun at all. ”

It seems that he is not a family that can inquire. Zhao Lan thought to herself.

Along the uneven road, I turned two corners and came to a family with three main rooms and two wings to the west. One side of the gate was a little rotten, leaning crookedly on one side, and there were some weeds on both sides of the door. Looking inside, it was similar to Zhao Lan's house, with some vegetables growing in the yard. There was nothing but firewood, and there was nothing else to the crockpot. This is probably the Chunhong family.

Sure enough, Zhao Ju stood at the door and shouted twice, a little girl who was about the same height as Zhao Ju, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and two patches on her clothes, ran out with a basket on her back.

"Why did your sister come with me, didn't she never go up the mountain?"

"I don't know! My sister is very good now, and she embroidered a handkerchief for me yesterday, which is very beautiful, but I didn't bring it today, and I will show it to you tomorrow. It's beautiful. ”

"Oh, is it? The day before yesterday, Huzi Niang was playing at my house, saying that she beat Huzi miserably, but yesterday, I saw Huzi still go up the mountain to play. I didn't see that I was beaten at all. ”

"Hmph, Huzi is so annoying, why did he run in front of my sister, saying that my sister is a dumb and ugly girl, don't marry my sister. He's a big mouth. Nobody likes him. ”

"I heard that Huzi likes Liu'er." The sister-in-law said in a low voice, and did not forget to turn around and sneak a glance at me.

"Where is Liu'er ......?"

The two girls walked in front, bowing their heads and whispering that Zhao Lan couldn't hear it. At such a distance, it was a bit difficult for Zhao Lan to not hear it.

It turned out that it was a wall that hurt self-esteem.

Along the way, the two girls squeaked and talked about the boring words of children, and soon reached the foot of the mountain. Zhao Lan followed the two sisters-in-law, but she felt more and more that she couldn't keep up with them, her physical fitness was not very good!

A path more than one person wide winds upwards, with tall and dense trees and lush vegetation underneath. Walking into the mountains, the temperature seems to have dropped a few degrees, and a few small wildflowers bloom here and there are sporadic near and far, which decorate this green forest very cutely. The songs of various birds accompanied us along the way, and we were in a good mood to listen to!

After about half an hour of climbing, we came to a slightly flat open area, with a protruding rock in front of it, and a large tree beside the stone, the dense and lush branches of the large tree happened to cover the sky above the rock, and the sun shone on the rock from between the dense leaves, and the shadow was mottled. The edges of the rocks are smoothed, and this is probably a place where climbers often stop. A path winds around the mountain around the rocks. The melodious sound of a small stream coming from not far away.

White clouds drift overhead, green comes into view, the breeze blows by, and the smell of vanilla wafts through the nose. Every pore on the body is comfortably open.

This is probably the rock place that Zhao Shen said.

"Sister, there is pigweed over there, Chunhong and I want to wash our feet by the stream."

Zhao Ju stretched out his hand and pointed to the right side of the rock.

"Okay, be careful. Sister also took a look around here. When the time comes, we will still meet here. ”

"Good. Sister, let's go! ”

Zhao Ju pulled Chunhong and ran towards the path behind the rocks, and the laughter of the two echoed in the forest.

Zhao Lan walked up a little more, and an unclear small fork in the road stretched into the distance, so she walked along the path.

As he walked, he pulled a handful of grass and buckled it to the branches of the trees he walked on to make a mark. Zhao Lan still has the common sense to prevent getting lost.

"People learn from the beginning, but they don't learn from the unnatural. Meng Jiao is right, we just read a lot of books and know everything. Ha ha! ”

Zhao Lan muttered to herself on the path where no one was.

There was the sound of twigs shaking overhead. Zhao Lan raised her head and saw nothing. Only small birds flew overhead.

Is it a bird?

Before Zhao Lan could think about it, she was amazed by a golden and silver flower in front of her.

In front of him was yellow like gold, white like silver, one after the other, wrapped around the branches, hanging on the bushes, and draped over the rocks. The edges of the flowers turn outwards like delicate trumpets.

It turned out to be honeysuckle.

This flower is not only beautiful, but also can be used in medicine, picked and dried to make tea and drink, which can clear heat and detoxify, dissipate wind and heat dissipation, reduce blood pressure and reduce fire.

That's a good thing.

When I turn around for a while, dig a small one, next year, such a beautiful scenery can be enjoyed at home, Zhao Lan thought.

Bypassing the honeysuckle and continuing to walk forward, purple, red, white, all kinds of flowers, many wild flowers Zhao Lan did not know.

There was a stone in front of him, there was no moss, Zhao Lan took a few steps, sat on the stone, fanned the wind with one hand, pinched his legs with the other, and couldn't walk.

After resting for a while, it was relieved, it seems that he really rarely goes up the mountain, and his physique is poor!

After resting almost and about to walk back, a small green seedling attracted Zhao Lan's attention.

Jasmine!

Zhao Lan's favorite in her previous life, the simple and elegant jasmine!

Emerald green foliage, white jade flowers, fresh fragrance.

The fragrance of the sky opens jasmine, and the Brahma tree falls Bodhi.

Today, that's a big bonus. Zhao Lan excitedly used a small sickle to dig up the surrounding soil, and finally, the whole plant was dug out. There were probably four or five of them. That's a lot.

After digging the jasmine, Zhao Lan walked back along the road she came from, and the honeysuckle also dug up two small ones, the big ones couldn't be dug up, and the tools couldn't do it. It was these two small honeysuckles, and Zhao Lan also used it for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Walking to the big rock, Zhao Ju was already waiting there, the two of them sat on the big rock, holding small fruits that were half yellow and half red in their hands, eating in their mouths and spitting out the skin. There was a basket full of pigweed in the spring red basket.

The same little fruit is placed on top.

"What do you eat?"

"Wild fruits, sweet and sour, sister, you can eat them too," Zhao Ju handed over two small fruits, "Sister, you didn't cut pigweed!" What kind of flower is this, it's weird and beautiful! ”

"Honeysuckle and Jasmine, let's go back quickly, it's not too early." I looked up at the sun and said.

Zhao Ju and Chunhong have no opinion. Stand up and go down the mountain.

"Sister, what are you doing with this flower?"

"It looks good in the yard."

"Oh!"

"Sister, we met Huzi by the stream."

"He didn't bully you!"

"Nope."

Zhao Ju jumped up, grabbed a branch on the side of the road, and pulled hard, dragging it down a few times.

Zhao Ju shook the branch vigorously with one hand, and continued with a pout, "Sister, Huzi and Liu'er are together!" ”

"Liu'er is beautiful?"

"It's not good-looking, it's ugly, Chunhong, you say yes!"

Zhao Ju tugged Chunhong's sleeve.

"Well, it's okay! He doesn't look ugly either. ”

"Chunhong!" Zhao Ju's voice raised an octave.

"Alas, alas, although she is not as good-looking as Sanya, she is not ugly."

"You, you're so boring."

Zhao Ju threw the branch and said.

"Ju'er, you can't say Chunhong like that, Chunhong is also telling the truth!"

"She's just not good-looking," Zhao Ju pursed her lips and said emphatically, "Grandma Wang can say, what is Liu'er's name, oh, Aunt Liu'er is demonic, it's not good, you have to be a man." ”

Zhao Ju learned from Grandma Wang and said angrily.

"Hahaha," Chunhong smiled and bent over, and said breathlessly, "Zhao Ju, you really learn like this." ”

"Alright, alright, don't just talk, look at the feet. Don't tear your clothes when you fall. ”

"Oh! Oh! I'm careful. ”

"Chunhong, your ......"

Opened the topic, the two little girls talked about something else, and I really don't have a good impression of the tiger who said I was ugly, who wants to be called ugly by others.

The way back seems to go faster. The two aunts chatted all the way, and Zhao Lan picked up round stones of about the same size all the way. In a moment, it will be at the doorstep.

"We're here, Chunhong, you should go home too." I said to Chunhong.

"Well, goodbye Sister Lan'er and Ju'er."

Chunhong waved her hand and trotted away.

Zhao Lan put down the basket and looked at the yard to see where the flower seeds dug up were suitable. In fact, you can plant anywhere, there are only two kinds of flowers, that is, the yard needs to be cleaned up again.

Zhao Lan thought that the yard was so big and there were haystacks, it would not be easy to clean up in a short time, so she still had to plant the flowers first. Honeysuckle is dried to drink tea, or planted on the east side of the courtyard wall, and the west side is raised with chickens, which is not clean. Jasmine can't be basked against the root of the wall if it wants to bask in the sun, so it is planted on the side of the road on the south wall of the west chamber first, so that it can get the sun from morning to night. Jasmine flowers have to be planted in pots to have a charm. Besides, jasmine is afraid of the cold, so it is safest to move it to a basin in autumn and put it in the house. Flower pots, flower pots, if you wanted to buy what you wanted, you can have it, but now, if you want to buy it, there is probably no place to sell it. It seems that we have to think of a way later.

After planning it, Zhao Lan hurriedly planted the honeysuckle and jasmine, watered the rooting water, and the honeysuckle leaned against the wall and used bamboo poles to make a flower stand for climbing vines. After getting all this done, I washed my hands before I had time to sit down.

I imagine that next year I may be able to fill the garden with fragrance, and I feel happy just thinking about it.

The sun was almost in the middle of the day, and the shadows of the trees were about eleven o'clock, so it was not too early to think about it, and it was time to cook lunch.

What to cook? Zhao Lan really doesn't know, how to get it, it's not very clear, and she has to ask Zhao Ju.

"Ju'er, what do you eat at noon?" Zhao Lan asked as she walked towards the kitchen, to see what was there.

"There should still be steamed buns, I want to eat cucumbers."

Zhao Ju replied casually, holding a small sickle in his hand, and kept learning Zhao Lan to dig and dig in the courtyard.

"Oh, I'll take a look."

Zhao Lan opened the pot, and there were indeed several steamed buns.

You don't have to do the main food, it seems that you can just stir-fry two dishes.

If Zhao Ju wants to eat cucumbers, then mix cucumbers cold, beans and eggplants haven't come up yet, so fry greens or amaranth, and pick some casually in the yard.

Zhao Lan went to the backyard, plucked two handfuls of greens and two eggplants, washed and cut them finely, and planned to raise the fire. I rummaged through the stove and couldn't find a match.

What to use to raise the fire?

Zhao Lan was confused, so she had to call Zhao Ju.

"Sister, you can't raise the fire no matter what."

Zhao Ju picked up the flint and flint, and lit the fire in two clicks.

"Next time, my sister will rise by herself, you will help my sister cook the pot and stir-fry the vegetables, so that my sister will be in a hurry."

"Oh! All right! ”

Zhao Ju agreed indifferently, and skillfully added firewood to the stove.

You can't put more oil, and there are no other seasonings, so you can only put a few cloves of garlic to adjust the taste.

Only two dishes were fried, and there were three dishes including cold cucumbers. The dish was about to be ready, and he was about to call Zhao Ju to call his mother home for dinner, when he heard the sound of the courtyard door and Zhao Qiu's teethy words.

It should be my mother who has returned from the field.

"What are you two doing in the kitchen?"
