Tomorrow is the day to go to Taoxi Town, this afternoon, Bai Lao Niang sent Bai Mingxuan and them to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, ready to take them to the town tomorrow and sell them in the market.

The Bai family has two vegetable gardens, one is in front of the house, where only a few vegetables are planted for normal use, and the other is at the foot of the mountain not far away, where a lot of vegetables are planted.

Although the land has to pay taxes, the village has always turned a blind eye to this kind of vegetable garden cultivated in a remote place, so the Bai family's vegetable garden is not small, and the vegetables planted can also make the family make a small profit.

Bai Mingxuan and the others got a big basket of vegetables and carried them to pick vegetables later.

Mrs. Bai took the lead, and everyone walked to the vegetable garden after a while.

The vegetable garden is the size of the entire Bai family, and the land inside has been divided into pieces and planted with different vegetables. The vegetable garden is surrounded by bamboo poles and broken wood, planted with a circle of thorns, only a small opening is opened, and a "door" made of bamboo strips is tied to it by hemp rope to separate the vegetable garden from the outside.

The white lady put down the basket, went up to untie the rope tied by herself on the "door", and walked in.

As soon as she walked into the garden, Bai Mingxuan's eyes lit up.

The vegetable garden in front of it is divided into several neat plots, which are planted with cabbage, cauliflower and other vegetables, which are green and lush, and the growth is gratifying.

On the shelf built at random with bamboo poles, a few melon vines were climbed, and a few ripe cucumber loofahs hung on them, and the leaves were half withered and half green.

There are also a few clumps of leeks in the corner of the garden, dark green in color, growing luxuriantly, but they are not delicious.

The climate of Taohua Village is warm, and it does not snow often in winter, and the melon and vegetable growth period is long, but these are also the last vegetables in front of me, and if they are not picked, they will rot in the ground and cannot be eaten.

The path between the vegetable fields is paved with all kinds of weeds and wild flowers, and a horse orchid grows in the middle of the road, and the leaf stem is crowned with a cluster of small pink flowers, which shakes slightly in the winter wind.

Bai Mingxuan carefully bypassed it, carrying the basket and following the old lady Bai in front.

"Minglan, you come to pick cabbage with me, Minghui, you take Mingxin to pick cauliflower together. Xuanxuan, you take Weiwei to pick cucumbers and loofahs. The white lady walked to the middle of the vegetable garden and put down the basket, "Be careful, don't pick it!" If you pick it up, you won't be able to sell it for money. ”

Bai Mingxuan walked towards the melon vine, holding the basket in one hand and pulling Bai Mingwei with the other, but she didn't get it.

"Sister, I'm going to go by myself, I've grown up." Bai Mingwei dodged Bai Mingxuan's outstretched hand and said with a smile.

Bai Mingxuan turned her head and glared at her with a smile, and walked forward. When he got to the shelf, he put the basket in his hand on the ground and adjusted the jacket on his body.

The jacket worn by Bai Mingxuan was changed from the dowry that the Wang family brought when she got married, not only that, but it was first changed for Bai Minglan to wear for a few years, and then she was worn by Bai Mingxuan when she grew up and couldn't wear it.

Therefore, this jacket is not only covered with patches, but it does not fit well on Bai Mingxuan's body, the sleeves are a little bigger, and the hem of the clothes is also long, which is usually nothing, and it is inconvenient to do this work.

As the saying goes: three years of new, three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending.

But this dress was worn by the Wang family to Bai Minglan, and Bai Minglan wore it and gave it to herself, and she may have to pass it on to Bai Mingwei in the future, I am afraid that it will take more than three years to sew and mend it.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingxuan laughed, and her smile was very helpless.

The family's plan should be to reduce food and clothing for the whole family, so that Bai Mingcheng can study alone, and when he succeeds in his studies, he will be able to support the family and lead everyone to live a good life.

This kind of thinking is good, and it can even be said to be a typical way for farmers to change their homes in ancient agricultural societies, but Bai Mingxuan is unwilling to put all his hopes on others, let alone people like Bai Mingcheng.

Thinking of Bai Mingcheng, she couldn't help frowning.

She looked up into the distance, her gaze through the woods, over the house, and into the distance at the road leading to the outside world. sighed in my heart, I still have to be more positive, and make plans early to change my fate.

"Sister! Pick melons! Bai Mingwei saw her standing there in a daze, with a puzzled face, and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Huh? Oh got it. Bai Mingxuan came back to her senses, rolled up her sleeves, and immediately rummaged through them carefully.

With one hand, I opened the vine leaves, and saw two watery loofahs hidden inside, and with the other hand, I held the loofah, pinched it with my fingernails, plucked it, and then carefully put it into the basket.

"Look, that's it." Picking a loofah for a demonstration, Bai Mingxuan turned his head and said.

"Uh-huh, got it." Bai Mingwei couldn't wait, grabbed the basket and ran to the other side of the shelf, "Sister, I'll go pick it up on the other side." ”

At the other end, Bai Minghui stood in front of a cauliflower, looked at a cauliflower, stretched out his hand to hold the vegetable stalk and folded it down from the middle, and then threw it into the basket.

After picking a few handfuls, she looked up and was immediately furious. It turned out that Bai Mingxin ripped the cauliflower everywhere and scattered it all over the ground.

She took three steps and made two steps, and walked over to push, "Mingxin what are you doing?!" Get it everywhere! ”

Bai Mingxin didn't stand firmly, but he was pushed to the ground this time, he looked up at his sister, his eyes quickly turned red, tears gathered, and he was about to cry when he opened his mouth.

"Crying for what? Are you embarrassed to cry after ruining the dish? Bai Minghui looked impatient, "Hurry up!" ”

Seeing that he still didn't get up, Bai Minghui bent down and pulled him up, "Look how I picked it, learn it!" ”

When Bai Minglan saw it, she turned around and cast a worried gaze here.

"Minghui, speak well, what's fierce?" When the white lady heard the voice, her face was dissatisfied, "What does he know as a child?" Forget about these messes, you watch more. ”

Hearing this, Bai Minghui felt aggrieved in her heart, holding her breath, thinking that this is not my fault, why should I be said?

The cauliflower under his hand became a punching bag, and he didn't look carefully, and he folded a lot of it down with a few "brushes".

The winter sun is like a lamp in the refrigerator, only light, no temperature.

Although there is no biting cold wind, the weather is really not warm, and after working for so long, everyone is still cold.

Bai Mingxuan turned around and looked, and found that everyone had almost picked it, so she quickly picked the last few melons, checked them, and found that there were no leaks, and the basket was full of melons, so she smiled with satisfaction.

Holding a basket in one hand, she turned her head and shouted, "Vivi, let's go." ”

"It's coming," Bai Mingwei walked over, smiled and raised the Ma Lanhua in her hand, "Sister, look!" I picked the flowers. Is it good-looking? ”

"Beautiful." Bai Mingxuan looked at her with a look of "asking for praise", and said with a smile, "You look better on your head." ”

"Good! Then I'll put it on my head. Bai Mingwei rushed to the ground, grabbed the flower and stuck it on her head, and inserted it crookedly, and she was smug and twisted her head.

"Poof-" Bai Mingxuan couldn't help it, and praised with a smile, "It's so good-looking!" It's so pretty! ”

Bai Mingxuan looked at the flowers on her head, smiled all the way, and went home.

Next, let's clean up the dishes I picked today.

Take a large basin, rinse it at will, wash off the sediment on the surface, pull a few dry straws, knead them into a strand, wrap them around the vegetable stem, tie a knot, and clean up the vegetables in a handful.

Then they were all put in baskets and placed in the hall, and they were to be taken to the town and sold tomorrow.

The next day, the genius was bright, and the Bai family took the vegetables and baskets to be sold and went to the village entrance to wait for the ox cart.
