In the morning, the temperature was still a little low, Shen Zhiyao was a little cold, and after rubbing her arms, she turned around and went back to the house to continue lying down.

Dawn breaks, and the orange sun rises.

Shen Zhiyao slept again, and in a daze, she heard the voices of Wang Qiushui and Wang Xiaguo talking.

She yawned, got out of bed, got dressed, shoes and socks, and braided her waist-length hair into a big braid and hung it behind her head, and then opened the door and walked out.

Wang Xiaguo and Wang Qiushui, who were eating breakfast, laughed when they saw Shen Zhiyao.

Wang Xiaguo greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you?" Hurry up and eat together. Just now I wanted to wake you up and eat with us, but Mom didn't let me disturb your sleep, but now that you're awake, you can eat with us. ”

Wang Qiushu took a bite of the steamed buns, frowned and nodded, and wondered: "I don't know what Mom thinks, you have to let us get up and eat together, now the steamed buns are not hot, how can they be delicious when they are just out of the pot!" ”

"As long as you talk too much, hurry up and eat, and go to school after eating."

Wang Xiaguo slapped Wang Qiushou on the back of the head, then raised his eyes and said to Shen Zhiyao with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the steamed buns on this plate are a little cold, and there are still two steamed on the fire, which my mother specially left for you, and it is still hot, you go to the kitchen to get hot food." ”

Shen Zhiyao looked at Wang Xia Guo's eyes as if he had seen through everything, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he frowned lightly: "Don't think about it." ”

"I didn't think about it!"

Wang Xiaguo said with a smile: "What is there to think about? Sister-in-law, hurry up and eat breakfast while it's hot! I went to school after eating the autumn harvest, and my mother went to pick the chicks next door and came back in a while. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Shen Zhiyao saw that Wang Xiaguo looked like I knew everything, and couldn't help but sigh, I don't know where this girl knows so much messy things at a young age.

Wang Xiaguo and Wang Qiushu haven't gone to school for a week, although Shen Zhiyao has made up lessons for both of them during this time at home, and taught all the content that the teacher may be able to learn.

However, after not attending classes for a long time, both of them were still a little panicked.

At this time, they were finally able to go to school, and the two of them couldn't wait, and after breakfast, they hurriedly ran to school with their schoolbags on their backs.

Originally, I didn't go to self-study until 7:50, but now it's just 7 o'clock, and the time is still very early, Shen Tongyao can't call them, so he doesn't bother to care.

When Zhang Cuihua came back, there was a bamboo basket hanging on the crook of her arm, and there was a chirping sound from inside.

As soon as Shen Zhiyao greeted her, Zhang Cuihua hurriedly waved at her with a smile: "Yaoyao, come and see, I bought a few chicks, and they have a unique spirit." When I raise them well, I can directly slaughter them and stew them during the holidays in the future. ”

"I'll see."

Shen Zhiyao walked over with a smile and uncovered the blue cloth covered with the bamboo basket, and the little chick inside quickly stood up when he saw the light, tilting his head and chirping, one higher than the other.

"Isn't it particularly energetic?"

Zhang Cuihua said happily: "They have more than 100 chicks there, and they are ready to sell them when they are ready to go to the market!" Fortunately, I knew that I had to pick out these most spiritual ones in advance. ”

"It's really spirited."

Shen Zhiyao smiled and nodded, looked at the little chicks who stretched out their necks and chirped, and said in a low voice, "Are they hungry?" The rice bran and the food for pigs and chickens in my hometown have all been sold to the villagers, and now what are the chicks you buy to feed them? ”

"Don't worry."

Zhang Cuihua shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm optimistic, when we came from Wangjia Mountain, there was pigweed everywhere on the slopes, and the roots were tender and fat, so I would cut some and feed them first." When I catch up with the market, I'll go buy rice bran and come back, so that I can raise these chicks fat. ”

"I'll go with you."

went out to cut pigweed, Shen Zhiyao didn't worry about Zhang Cuihua going alone, but let her go alone, she couldn't find a land.

"Okay, there's nothing to do anyway, when I put the chicks in the yard and give them a few rotten leaves to eat, we'll cut the pigs."

Zhang Cuihua smiled and put the little chicks in the chicken pen fenced with wooden boards in the backyard, and then threw the rotten vegetable leaves from the collar family into it for the little chicks to eat, and then took Shen Zhiyao out.

On the hillside, the pigweed is plump, and the roots still carry the morning dewdrops, and a handful of them are grabbed casually.

Shen Zhiyao was lucky and saw a lot of wild celery.

The celery leaves stretched, and the tender leaves hung with water droplets, and the breeze blew and trembled, which was particularly pleasant.

Shen Zhiyao beckoned Zhang Cuihua and said in a good mood: "Mom, you see these are wild celery, right?" Last time we dug too little, and we didn't eat it in one meal, I think it's here, and there should be around it. Let's dig some more and go back to make sauerkraut and eat it, shall we? ”

"Okay, there's nothing going on at home, just go back to cook at eleven o'clock, let's look around to see where there's more, dig some more and go back to make sauerkraut."

Zhang Cuihua squatted down and began to dig celery with a sickle, and said with a smile: "During this time, the big guys are still busy farming, and few people have time to dig, so let's pick up the leak." After a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to see even a single one. ”

Shen Zhiyao nodded very approvingly: "That's our luck." ”

The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law who were lucky dug up most of the baskets of wild celery, saw that the tender shepherd's cabbage also dug some up, and they also saw Houttuynia cordata when they dug and dug it.

However, the rhizomes of Houttuynia cordata grow deep in the soil, and if you dig it, it will destroy the ridges of other people's homes.

Zhang Cuihua and Shen Zhiyao were not so lacking in virtue, they just pinched some Houttuynia cordata leaves and prepared to take them back for cold dressing.

Shen Zhiyao hadn't eaten it, and it smelled a little strange, but she knew that Houttuynia cordata was a Chinese herb that could be eaten.

It has the effect of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, and can also be anti-cancer, diuretic and drenching.

There are benefits to eating in moderation.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned with a full load.

After returning home, Zhang Cuihua took the pigweed and cut it, ready to feed the chickens.

And Shen Zhiyao boiled water, took out the jar of sauerkraut last time, washed it, scalded it with boiling water and put it aside to prepare sauerkraut pickles.

Wash the wild celery, blanch it in boiling water, put it in a washed and dried jar, and then put the wild celery inside.

Then pour the cold boiled water into it, cover it, seal it and put it on the stove with a high temperature.

It can be eaten in two days at most.

As for the shepherd's cabbage, it can be boiled and eaten, or it can be made into dumplings, but in view of the fact that Wang Xiaguo and Wang Qiushou both like to eat dumplings very much, Shen Zhiyao suggested with a smile: "Mom, I think we have a lot of hungry shepherd's cabbage today, so it is better to chop up the dumplings and eat them." The last time I wrapped a wonton to eat, I always thought about the summer fruit and autumn harvest. Dumplings and wontons are similar, wrap a meal for them today, they must like it. ”
