In the past few days since Qi You was injured, the two little ones were unusually obedient, catching insects on the edge of the pool for the chickens to eat, and helping Chungui dry the remaining mushrooms. Because Qi You is not good at walking, even the thousand-character text is lying on the back of his bed by two children.

When Cai's sent Xiaobao over, Zhimin just finished reciting a whole round, and Cai's sighed again and again: "This is to raise a female champion!" ”

"It is good for children to know words and etiquette, and it is good to know right from wrong when they grow up." Chungui also made a bowl of sugar water for Xiaobao.

Cai Shi hurriedly took it and scolded with a smile: "How much sugar did I give you, most of it went into my Xiaobao's belly." ”

Chungui smiled and handed the child a piece of rice paper and asked him to practice calligraphy with Zhiping.

"And this rice paper is not cheap, you are really, how can I thank you for calling my sister!" Cai Shi looked at the large piece of rice paper distressedly: "Children practice calligraphy with mud and sand, and it is just a matter of writing with a chicken feather, you are good, it is both paper and ink." ”

Chungui didn't care much, Qi shopkeeper was generous, gave a stack of rice paper, she can make four pictures on a piece of paper, reserve the paper for drawing and the paper for inscription poems, and the rest is enough for several children to use daily. Li Zheng and Aunt Li deliberately asked her to hide the skill of painting fan noodles, but she didn't tell Cai Shiming, only that this was prepared by Zhixing when the father and mother of the Liu family were in the past.

Cai Shi only said: "Tomorrow I will send you some more sugar, whether you cook porridge or boil water to drink, you don't have to save me, you also know that my old lady has a skill." ”

"Now that my younger brother is married, it is generally considered to be a split family, and my old lady feels sorry for Xiaobao, so she sends some candy from time to time."

In addition to a pair of fathers and mothers, Cai's mother's family also has a younger brother and sister, who just got married at the beginning of this year. After the drought, he immediately replanted a season of sugarcane, and in about a month he could harvest a season, and there was indeed a lot of sugar at home.

Chun Gui didn't shirk it, she was useful for this sugar. She glanced out the window, and the sweet potato seedlings in the yard had been planted for two months, and they were growing luxuriantly, and they were probably about to ripen.

She has never forgotten Zhiping's happy appearance when she drank the first sip of sugar water two months ago, and she had long planned to boil this clump of sweet potatoes into sweet potato syrup and give it to a few children to taste.

"Cheng, then thank you Sister Cai."

The next day, Cai's really sent a packet of white sugar and a packet of brown sugar, Chun Gui thought about it, and hid the brown sugar, and the white sugar still gave a few children a little water to drink every day, but they couldn't drink more, and Zhiping would change his teeth after a while.

After another half a month, the sweet potatoes that returned in spring grew some more, and the wild sweet potatoes also had the advantage of wild sweet potatoes, and the growth was very gratifying, and they had grown out of a large circle in the ground, and there was a tendency to grow to the grass shed, which attracted the chickens in the shed to peck a few mouthfuls from time to time. Chungui hurriedly surrounded a fence and moved back the vines that had grown.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, this piece of sweet potatoes in the ground is afraid that it is not long enough, and Qi You's yard next door is empty and bare, I have to talk to him to see if I can open a piece of land in his place.

With that in mind, she went into the house.

In the past half month, Dr. Li has changed the medicine a few times, but the wound is only a little swollen, but there is no problem next to it, and Qi You can also walk a few steps on the ground.

Qi Youzheng and Zhixing in the house inscribed poems, and she drew a few more pictures these days, and Zhixing's interest in writing poems was high, and the two of them corrected each other after they finished writing. Spring return is also happy to see them like this, only open a private school in February next year, and now there is still three months to go, if you review your homework every day, it will be boring.

Seeing her coming, Qi You put down his pen, Zhixing hurriedly pushed the finished poem over, and looked proud: "Sister-in-law, look, we have written most of it!" ”

Chungui didn't understand this, so he flipped through a few poems casually and raised his eyebrows: "I can't tell if the poems are good or not, but this word." ”

She raised her eyes and glanced at it: "Liu Zhixing, why are you writing so impatiently." ”

A piece of paper is divided into two, one end is written by Zhixing, and the other end is Qi You's pen and ink, Qi You's end is neat, but the handwriting on the side written by Zhixing is getting more and more sloppy.

Chungui's eyes were full of disapproval, and he turned a few more pages. Zhixing grinned and took the rest of the paper back: "Pay attention next time, pay attention next time." ”

Chun Gui didn't care about him, put down the paper and sat down across the table: "Qi You, I'll discuss something with you." ”

Qi You nodded: "Sister Chun said yes." ”

"That's right, the grass and vines you dug up from the mountains two months ago are now growing luxuriantly, I think so, can you cultivate two plots of land in your yard, next season I want to plant more, if there is a surplus, I also want to plant other vegetables such as turnips and cabbage."

Qi You pondered for a moment when he heard this, Chun Gui thought that he had doubts, but he didn't want him to speak: "Sister Chun must have thought very well when she opened her mouth, I looked at the grass and vines in the yard, and I am afraid that two pieces of land are not enough for such growth." If Sister Chun thinks about it, let's open four or five plots of land. ”

Chun Gui said: "I'm afraid that four or five pieces of land will fill your yard, where can I use so much." She couldn't laugh or cry.

Qi You was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said, "....... Sister Nachun means to open a few pieces. ”

The handsome young man in front of him blushed slightly, and a trace of chagrin flashed in his eyes.

Chungui smiled: "Then let's open three pieces, and wait for this season's grass and vines to mature!" ”

Hearing this, Zhixing suddenly came over: "Sister-in-law, hasn't this grass vine matured early?" It's out of season, it's old and bitter, and I can't bite it. ”

Chun Gui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, she forgot that the people here have not eaten sweet potatoes yet, and the sweet potato seedlings have long grown, of course they can't be eaten in the eyes of Zhixing.

Her eyes swept over Zhixing, who looked ignorant, a little funny, and she didn't know what kind of mood he was in to help weed the sweet potatoes in the past two months.

She thought for a moment and said, "Now go and pick a grass vine and dig it up with the roots." ”

Zhixing blinked: "Now? ”

Chungui raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Of course, go quickly." ”

Zhixing was confused, so he had no choice but to go.

When he went out, Chun Gui turned his head to look at Qi You, who was also dazed, and she reassured, "You just wait." ”

Then he looked at his legs: "It'll be all right in another month, right?" ”

Qi You's expression was immediately paused, and he said in an obscure tone: "....... Layue should be fine. ”

Chungui nodded reassuringly: "Hurry up, now it's inconvenient to move after all." ”

Qi You was silent and lowered his head to look at the leg. In a month's time, the leg will heal, and the days he will live here will be counted.

After a while, Zhixing ran into the door with a scream: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! What is it! ”

He was holding a small ungrown sweet potato in his hand, only the size of Zhiping's small fist, but it was enough to make Zhiping, who had never seen it before, scream, and even Qi You was a little surprised when he saw it: "Sister Chun? ”

I didn't expect it to grow so fast, according to the modern growth period, the sweet potato should only have a small lump at this time, but here it is a big circle.

She took the sweet potato and shook it proudly: "This is the fruit of the grass vine after it grows." ”

Zhixing jumped up and down, looking left and right: "I've never seen it before!" Sister-in-law, you haven't told us before. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chungui hurriedly coughed and said weakly: "....... Last year, I went into the mountains with my mother to pick wild vegetables, and I saw the fruits of this grass and vine, and it tasted good when I ate it, and I thought it would be satisfying. ”

Zhixing's attention was all on this sweet potato, and he didn't ask, but said, "That sister-in-law, how do you eat this?" Is it eaten raw? ”

"How else can you eat it, eat it steamed, eat it boiled, and treat it like corn and rice. You'll know when you eat it once. ”

"Yes, Qi You." She propped her chin with her hands, and there was a bit of a strong sense of weakness on her face.

Qi You hooked the corners of his mouth: "Sister Chun is amazing, what she makes must be delicious." ”

Chungui left his heart behind in a second, and regained his pride.

Zhixing had countless questions, and kept asking questions about Chungui, and the two talked to each other back and forth, Qi You watched quietly, and responded to a sentence of Chungui from time to time.

It's not the first time he's seen the appearance of Chun Gui seriously, but now the person in front of him is very different from when he was coaxed by Liu Quan before, obviously the same appearance, but smart, tenacious, and kind, these qualities that he personally experienced were put on her, and I don't know when it started, this person has a faint light.

Qi You looked around, counting the days when December came, and his heart was at a loss.

As we approach December, the weather slowly cools down, and after a rainy day, it becomes winter. Chungui turned out the thick clothes, and had already wrapped the two small ones of Zhiping and Zhimin tightly. Outside, it was raining in winter, and it was biting cold.

Chungui leaned on the edge of the door and looked at the village, and there was a piece growing in the courtyard door of every house, mostly cabbage and radish, and the atmosphere of life was very strong from a distance. She figured out that her yard was about the same. In winter, roast a sweet potato for Zhixing and them, and then cook a bowl of sweet sweet potato sugar water to ward off the cold. Min Min likes to drink soup, so the radish is stewed with the bones to make soup, and if you can't finish it, you will make pickled radish. Speaking of bones, she had to find a time to go to the market, this time she had to buy some pork belly, and she didn't give Zhiping a roast meat that day.

Since he was going to the market, he had to send a few fan drawings to the shopkeeper Qi. Because Qi You injured her leg, she couldn't hand in the sketch for a long time, and she didn't know if the shopkeeper Qi was in a hurry.

She was thinking wildly, and was about to enter the door, when suddenly a person came down from the foot of the mountain, holding a child about the same age as Zhiping in his hand, and was trotting over in the rain.

Chungui was puzzled, such a heavy rain could not be achieved no matter how fast he could run.

When she got closer, she saw clearly that this was not Grandpa Li and his grandson who had tenanted his farmland!

Chun Gui was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted at the two: "Grandpa Li! Come in and hide! "Old Man Li's house is at the end of the village, and running over like this can only get more and more serious, this old and small body can bear it!

As she spoke, she swept around, and when she found an umbrella, she immediately opened it and rushed towards the two of them.

Old man Li was soaking wet, his eyes were open with difficulty, and he hurried to the road with the familiarity of the road conditions in his heart, and the little grandson in his arms was also shivering with cold, holding a small basket tightly in his hand on his head, and after hearing the call of spring return, Old Man Li hurriedly quickened his pace.
