Chapter Ninety-Three: Chrysanthemums in Full Bloom II
The old and the small in the family are not enough!
"Auntie, this chrysanthemum is so beautiful, each one is the same size." Xiao Yu squatted on the ground and picked up the chrysanthemums in the basket and played, and found that each one was an average size.
"yes, pretty! Tiandong picks chrysanthemums in the ground, and you go to play with him. Xiao Ming said, sending the mischievous buns away.
"Then what to do, there are not enough people, it's a pity that so many chrysanthemums are broken in the ground." Xiao Han was worried, and the packaged chrysanthemum tea was packed with two taels of silver. If it is broken in the ground, how much silver will be gained, what a pity.
"Hey, Xiao Ming'er, you're picking chrysanthemums." Xia Xiaoba cleaned up and entered the yard, and found that the yard was full of picked chrysanthemums, he was not surprised by the Xiao family's precocious things, whether it was fruits, greens or chrysanthemums, they were more precocious than other places, and he was surprised at first, but later he was numb.
Osmanthus blooms in August, chrysanthemums are yellow in September, and now it's only July, and the chrysanthemums are yellow, and they are two months earlier than they are born, maybe it's really because the seeds in the mountains are good, and the water in the mountains is good.
Even the fruit of the orchard is ripe.
It's still a good mountain, a good water, and a good way to raise people!
"yes, planted early." Xiao Ming said with a smile, this is still the effect of her reducing the spatial spiritual spring water, otherwise it would have opened earlier. "You'll bring a basket back for your uncle and aunt to taste."
"Good! This chrysanthemum is so good, we all love to drink it. Xia Xiaoba said happily, not only him and his parents, but also the prince of the world also loves this taste, he has to take some back.
After taking good things, Xia Xiaoba took the initiative to help, took a few empty baskets and went to the field to help pick chrysanthemums.
The sunset is slanting westward, showing its last beauty, Xiao Ming looked at this beautiful sunset, smiled, and suddenly remembered a poem: "Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely." ”
I hope that this moment of quiet and leisurely life will always be there, and the years will be quiet.
"Xiaohan, you go take a break and drink saliva." Xiao Ming persuaded Xiao Han, who had been helping, Xiao Han had been helping since he went home, without rest, the weather was hot, and his clothes were wet with sweat.
"I'm fine." Xiao Han said, wiped the sweat from his forehead indiscriminately, and continued to pour the chrysanthemums in the basket upside down, placing them in the dustpan one by one.
Drying chrysanthemums is also a meticulous job, to ensure the quality, the petals must be facing upwards, each one can not overlap, otherwise it will affect the appearance, and the lower ones are not easy to dry. Chrysanthemums must be dried in the shade or air-dried to taste good, and exposure to the sun is easy to sunburn the flowers.
So Xiao Ming personally placed each chrysanthemum in a dustpan and then placed it on the shelf under the eaves.
"You don't have to worry, I'll ask Liu Lin and them to help tomorrow." After the Wang family, the Dawang family and Liu Yu's mother finished work, Xiao Ming made a special trip to greet them and asked Liu Lin, Liu Xiaofang and Liu Yu to help tomorrow, and the three of them happily agreed, saying that they would come to help early tomorrow morning.
When Xiao Han heard this, he put his mind at ease, and finally went into the house to drink a cup of tea and then came out to help.
Xiao Ming talked to him about Wang Tiandong's martial arts practice again.
"This is a good thing, let Tiandong go with us tomorrow to audit, Mr. Wu will not suggest, follow us to practice martial arts in the morning, and study together in the evening." Xiao Han said.
"Well, tomorrow I will bring some fresh chrysanthemums to Mr. Wu, and there are still a few jars of fruit wine at home, and I will also bring two bottles."
"Okay, Mr. Wu likes these two things, and he seems to like the canned fruit last time." Xiao Han said.
"The canned fruit is gone, I'll make some when the fruit is ripe in a few months." Xiao Ming said that there were still a few bottles in the space, but Xiao Ming was not going to take them out again, and it was not a good thing to be too eye-catching.
"Mr. Wu's ancestral home is in the south, and it seems that I have sent several letters hoping that Mr. Wu will go back." Xiao Han was a little worried, he overheard the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion chatting with his subordinates, Mr. because he and Yu'er had never returned to the south.
"And such a thing." Xiao Ming was slightly stunned, she never inquired about Mr. Wu's family, she only knew that Mr. Wu lived in the town with a housekeeper and a few subordinates, but she didn't expect him to stay here for his younger brother and Yu'er.
"Then did Mr. Wu say that he wanted to go back?" Xiao Ming asked with the same concern.
"Not really."
"Oh." If Mr. Wu decides to return to her ancestral hometown, she will no longer be able to find a knowledgeable gentleman like Mr. Wu to teach Xiaohan and Yu'er, should she be desperate to keep or happily see them off? Leaving Mr. Wu is not very cruel and unreasonable.
The homeland is difficult to leave, and the fallen leaves return to the roots.
She won't keep it, she shouldn't keep it, she can't prevent Mr. Wu from reuniting with his family and enjoying his old age because of Xiao Han and Xiao Yu, that is a selfish act.
Wang Yunling came in with two baskets of chrysanthemums in each hand, and since she arrived at Xiao's house, Wang Yunling has been very serious and active in everything.
Today, she not only picked chrysanthemums, but also took the initiative to undertake the work of transporting, running back and forth with the basket countless times, the little person carried the basket and walked fast, the little face was tanned red, full of happy smiles.
"Yunling, sit down and rest for a while." Xiao Ming quickly stepped forward to take the basket in her hand, and pulled her to sit on the stool to let her rest for a while.
"I'm tired!"
"Auntie, I'm not tired." Wang Yunling sat on the stool wiping her sweat, looking at Xiao Ming gratefully, with a relaxed smile in her eyes, she has been like this since lunch, she is in a good mood, and she is no longer as cringe and depressed as before.
"Okay, you take a break first, tell the godmother not to pick it, it's getting late now, take a rest and make dinner." Xiao Ming said that everyone had been busy for an afternoon.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go now." Wang Yunling ran out as she spoke, where could she take a break.
"This girl." Xiao Ming looked at her back as she ran out, and shook her head helplessly.
In the evening, Song steamed a bowl of egg custard for each of the three small ones, and then scattered a few finely chopped green onions on top when it came out of the pot, and suddenly the aroma of eggs and the fragrance of green onions were mixed together with the unique fragrance, which made people taste great.
Wang Tiandong ate the egg custard with a spoon in small bites, cherishing and being careful with every bite, for fear of falling a little on the ground, even a little bit He was reluctant.
Even if such a delicacy is available every day, he still cherishes it very much, remembering that when he was in the Liu family, the Liu family would also eat egg custard, but it was Liu Baogen's, looking at Liu Baogen's eggs to eat every once in a while, or a bowl of egg custard, he was very envious, but he didn't dare to take a second look, at that time a bowl of egg custard was a memory that scared him to make him tremble.
He envied Liu Baogen for having eggs and egg custard to eat, every time he would show off in front of him and his sister, once the best egg custard at home, he found that there was no one in the kitchen, so he secretly stood on the stool and looked at the bowl of egg custard in the pot, smoky, fragrant, this is the egg custard that he appeared in his dreams countless times, unconsciously, he trembled and picked off a little with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and before he had time to taste the taste that haunted him, he was discovered by Liu Baogen, with his shout, He and his sister were severely beaten and scolded by their grandmother.
