Chapter 041 No One Knows Hawthorn
Jiang Xiaotuan said lightly: "Third aunt, I told you everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, if I really have any tricks, I won't buy it sooner?" I really happened to be a blind cat running into a dead mouse that time. ”
"Really?" Dong Xiufang still didn't believe it, she just came to sell it this time, it would be better if she could ask the trick of the small group girl to buy stones, and she wouldn't suffer if she couldn't ask.
Anyway, she doesn't want anything good to fall on the head of the big house, and when the time comes, the second room of the big house will force the head for the sake of marriage, and the third room of them can not only watch the excitement, but also maybe profit from it.
"Of course it's true? The third aunt watched me grow up, do you think I have any special skills? ”
Dong Xiufang, who asked Jiang Xiaotuan, was speechless, and finally could only resolve the embarrassment with a smile, "You kid, if you don't have it, you don't have it, luck is also a skill, unlike us, who lost so much money, I am not like your aunt, with your grandmother's help, my money is borrowed from my mother's family." ”
Where did their money come from, Jiang Xiaotuan was not curious at all, anyway, just don't come to touch her money.
Dong Xiufang saw that she couldn't ask anything if she stayed any longer, so she left after chatting casually, and before leaving, she specially told her not to tell Mrs. Jiang about this, otherwise she would not be a person inside and out.
After she left, the Li family launched a vengeance, "Xiaotuan, why don't you take you to the Wang family?" ”
"What are you doing at Wang's house?" Jiang Xiaotuan chuckled, "Mother, I don't want to send it to the door to humiliate people." ”
"However, your marriage to Brother Wang's ......"
"What marriage? There is no basis for the words, and the words are proof, Wang Xiucai and my father were just drunk words, people have not been to the door for so many years, and they have long been out of their hearts, if we remember, and even find the door, isn't it sent to the door to be laughed at? ”
Even if what Jiang Xiaotuan said made sense, Li still felt that it was her inability to be a mother that would make Jiang Xiaotuan's marriage go away.
Jiang Xiaotuan didn't want to say it, but if she didn't say it, the Li family would keep blaming herself, "Mother, I saw that kid from the Wang family for the first few days, he didn't pay for dinner, or I paid for it." ”
"It's fate, Xiaotuan." Li Shi was very excited, "Then didn't you tell her who you are?" ”
Jiang Xiaotuan shook his head, thinking of his virtue, "Mother, this is not a good fate, he gathered some people behind him, injured the little stall owner who said a few words to him, and smashed other people's stalls, if it weren't for my luck, maybe he would have let people beat me." ”
Li Shi gasped, obviously sitting on the hot kang head, and a small quilt covered her feet, but she still felt cold, "It's not a mistake, right?" ”
"How could it be wrong, mother, do you say that this kind of person can be married?"
Li shook his head, "The Wang family has more than one son, maybe it's not the one who is married to you?" ”
"Whether it's that or not, but the Wang family's tutor is like this, how much better do you expect the other sons to be? And until now, I haven't heard Wang Xiucai say anything about what his son did, which shows that their Wang family has been bad from the top, and the bottom will not be good. ”
Li Shi looked at Jiang Xiaotuan deeply, "Then according to that, the Wang family is really not a good match?" ”
"Absolutely not, I won't marry this kind of person anyway, and there is no need to fight about this matter, if the Wang family is a trustworthy person, no matter how grandma and cousin toss there, they should refuse."
Li Shi was surprised that Jiang Xiaotuan could say such a thing, and after a moment of silence, "Xiaotuan, my mother also thinks what you said makes sense, then listen to you, let's do nothing, just wait." ”
"Why did you say that your third aunt suddenly got close to her?"
"She doesn't have to worry about it there, she can't afford to be early, she must have a plan."
"Mother, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Li Shi thought about it and smiled helplessly, "What to eat, my mother doesn't pick, I have eaten a lot of delicious food thanks to you these days, but I feel tasteless in my mouth, and I want to eat something sour, just drink vinegar later." ”
"Then what's the matter, sour girl, I'm afraid you really want to give birth to a younger brother to me and Xiaoyue girl." Jiang Xiaotuan is not patriarchal, but has a younger sister, and it is not bad to have a younger brother, so that the Li family can also raise his head.
"Where are you going to get sour stuff right now? If you go to the mountains in the spring, you can pick a few green apricots to eat. Li said with a smile.
"When I come back, I'll think about it, the firewood at home is burning really fast, it can't go on like this, I have to find a way to get more firewood." Jiang Xiaotuan planned to ask the people in the village if anyone was willing to sell firewood to them.
"Be careful!" Li watched Jiang Xiaotuan arrive at the gate worriedly, looked down at the huge belly, and looked forward to giving birth as soon as possible, so that the work at home would not have to fall on the head of Xiaotuan girl.
Although she no longer thinks about the Wang family, she begins to worry about Jiang Xiaotuan's marriage again.
Jiang Xiaotuan walked into the depths of the back mountain this time, she had been here a few times, and each time she went to a different place, just to explore here, but she still didn't find precious medicinal materials.
Not to mention the precious, even ordinary medicinal materials are few, but when she saw the medicinal materials, she picked them all with her hands, colds, colds, diarrhea, and bleeding, and was prepared.
After chopping the last piece of firewood, Jiang Xiaotuan felt that it was almost enough, and he couldn't carry it back no matter how much he could.
She got up and wiped the sweat from her head with her sleeve, although it was almost winter, but chopping wood was manual work, and she still felt very hot.
After taking a sip of water, Jiang Xiaotuan was going to pick up the firewood and walk back, and when she bent down again, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of something red in the distance, the distance was a little far, and she couldn't see it clearly, Jiang Xiaotuan walked over with a woodcutter.
It turned out to be hawthorn.
There is hawthorn here, I can't think of an unexpected harvest, the red and bright small fruits are adorned with branches, and the mouth of the person who looks at it is dripping, not greedy, but sour.
Jiang Xiaotuan thought about Li's saying that he wanted to eat sour food in the afternoon, and he was worried about what sour food he would get for her to eat, isn't this there?
Because Jiang Xiaotuan wants to collect medicinal materials, he will carry a big bag every time he goes up the mountain, and there are only a few medicinal materials, which must not be satisfied, and they are just used to put hawthorn.
At this time, the hawthorns are already ripe, Jiang Xiaotuan climbed to the tree, shook the branches vigorously, accompanied by the sound of "crackling", the hawthorn and leaves fell all over the ground, which is much faster than picking one by one.
There were only a few leaves left on the tree, Jiang Xiaotuan jumped down from the tree, picked up the hawthorn into the cloth bag, the bag was full, the hawthorn had just finished picking up, and Jiang Xiaotuan should also go down the mountain.
Today, because there are more hawthorns and weights, Jiang Xiaotuan came back a little later than before.
From a distance, she saw a small figure waiting at the intersection, looking in her direction from time to time, "Xiaoyue." ”
Hearing the movement, Jiang Xiaoyue ran towards her with her little short legs and hugged her, but the little girl's face was stunned by the hawthorn, she looked at Jiang Xiaotuan curiously, and patted the cloth bag with her hand, she should be asking what is this big bag bulging?
Jiang Xiaotuan put Chai He at the gate of his house and patted her head, "This is a good thing, go back to the house and show you." ”
After entering the house, Jiang Xiaotuan could already smell the smell of food, although it was not as fragrant as she made, but it still had a different kind of temptation for hungry people.
"Tired, aren't you? Wash your hands and eat. Li said with a smile, "Hurry up when you say that you are looking for someone to chop wood, your little girl's family always runs to the back mountain, and my mother is not at ease." ”
"Well, I'll ask the guys who go to chop wood tomorrow." Jiang Xiaotuan washed her hands, and as soon as she turned her head, the little girl handed her a towel, "By the way, mother, don't you want to eat sour?" I picked some hawthorn for you. ”
"Hawthorn? What is that? Li said suspiciously.
Jiang Xiaotuan was slightly stunned, "Hawthorn is ...... Satsuki went to bring the fruit in the bag to her mother. ”
Could it be that the hawthorn here is not called hawthorn, but has another name.
However, Li Shi looked at the red fruit and shook his head blankly, "What is this?" The red ones are weird and good-looking, but I don't know if they can eat it, don't it be poisonous? ”
Jiang Xiaotuan's expression became solemn, "You don't know this? ”
"I don't know, Xiaotuan, a lot of fruits on the back mountain are more poisonous, I heard that the better the color, the more toxic it is, this ...... Don't eat it, right? ”
She really didn't know Hawthorn, and a bold guess suddenly rose in Jiang Xiaotuan's heart.
People here don't know that hawthorn can be eaten yet.
"Mother, this is not poisonous, and it is sweet and sour, you can taste it." Jiang Xiaotuan turned around and washed a few hawthorns, drained the water and handed it to the Li family.
Li Shi was still a little hesitant, "Can this really be eaten?" ”
"Mother, you can eat boldly with confidence." Jiang Xiaotuan still didn't dare when she saw her, she didn't like to eat sour food, she also ate one, with a hint of sweetness in the sourness, but she was still wrinkled together by her sour facial features.
Jiang Xiaoyue also took one and ate it silently, and after eating, her expression was the same as Jiang Xiaotuan's, but she still wanted to eat the second one.
Both daughters ate it, and Li Shi also took one, just taking a small bite, at first she frowned, but after the sweetness and sourness of hawthorn spread between her lips and teeth, her brows also relaxed, "Well, it's delicious." ”
Delicious? Sure enough, the taste of pregnant women is different.
"I've never eaten such a delicious fruit."
"Mother, do you not know that this thing can be eaten, or does everyone not know that this thing can be eaten?" Jiang Xiaotuan asked solemnly.
Li Shi thought for a while, "Anyway, I haven't seen anyone eat this, if you don't tell me today, even if I see it, I won't dare to eat it, if everyone knew that they could eat it, they would have picked it up a long time ago." ”
There are not so many kinds of fruits in the countryside, and for ordinary people, fruits are also luxurious things, and they may not buy a pound during the New Year's Festival.
Jiang Xiaotuan thought about it, she had been to the town so many times, and it seemed that she had indeed not seen anyone selling hawthorn.
In this way, she can also make some silver with hawthorn.
