Chapter 145: Water chestnuts and Qingming vegetables
After eating breakfast, Shen Tusheng went to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart as he did yesterday, planning to continue to pull peach gum to sell, but the village chief's cattle were to be used to plow the fields, so they planned to sell them again tomorrow, otherwise they would go to the town every day.
There was no need to go to the town, so Wan had to stay at home to make clothes for Old Man Shen, while Old Man Shen carried a hoe to work in the field.
The sun was three poles, and Shen Shuang's prescribed time for practicing calligraphy was enough, so she put down the notebook in her hand, led the little wolf cub, the hill and the stones out to find wild vegetables, and took a small hoe, planning to go to the swamp to dig water chestnuts that she had never had a chance to dig.
Wan Shi heard the sound and put down her clothes and walked out of the hall, and saw the three of them coming out of the house, she frowned, "Xiaoshuang, why are you all at home?" Didn't you go up the mountain to find Chaotian pepper? ”
Shen Shuang did hear her grandmother casually say in the morning that she should go to the mountains to see where there are Chaotian peppers, and then pick some back and sell them to Jiang Zipei, but she pretended not to hear it, and naturally she didn't recognize it at this time, she didn't want to be so obedient.
"Milk, what are you looking for, how can I find it alone? Milk, I still have to help my mother find wild vegetables, go first. ”
As he spoke, he quickly led the two of them and a wolf to slip away, and Wan couldn't stop screaming, "Little rabbit cub, you can run faster than a rabbit, and you know how to be lazy all day long." ”
Wan Shi was dissatisfied, in fact, she also knew that Shen Shuang didn't like to listen to her, she remembered the silver she got from Jiang Zipei yesterday, and hurriedly ran to the utility room to look at the peach gum, feeling as if she had seen a room full of silver, and her mood was even more happy.
She turned and went into the hall, replaced the large lock of the locker with a small one, and the large lock was used to lock the utility room, and she hung the key on her chest and walked into the house with joy.
Suddenly, she saw that the dirty clothes in the water tank in the yard were full of a large wooden basin that had not been washed, and the door of the second room was closed, and she remembered that the second daughter-in-law and the mother and daughter had not seen anyone in the morning, she was busy all morning, and she really didn't pay attention.
"The second one, Trini? What are you two mothers and daughters doing? Up? ”
"Wan Hongxing? Trini? Bang bang bang. ”
Shen Trini heard the voice, turned over, and then covered her ears with the quilt.
She was going to Li Xiu's house today to help embroider things, but last night Xiao Wanshi was so anxious that she couldn't sleep because she remembered that she didn't share the money that sold peach gum, and she didn't feel sleepy until the rooster crowed.
Shen Cuini has always had a hard time getting up, except for Xiao Wan's pulling her up, others don't care, and they don't bother to take care of her, so she will sleep until this time, and naturally she won't know what time it is.
Wan's failed to knock on the door, so he had to push the door in, who knew that when he entered the house, the mother and daughter were still sleeping at this time! Wan's eyes hurt even when he saw it.
She was a mother-in-law who got up early in the morning and was busy picking and picking peach gum, and after getting peach gum and mending clothes, she really didn't have the heart to care about these, but she didn't expect her to be tired to death early in the morning, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter slept so happily.
Wan was really angry, and even began to regret marrying such a lazy woman to his second son, which was a sign of a ruined family.
"Wan Hongxing, you get up for me."
Wan Shi roared, Xiao Wan was so frightened that she fell directly from the kang, and when she saw Wan Shi who was so angry that her face was red, she was a little frightened, and stood in a proper manner, "Mother, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"What time is it? Your father-in-law's son went to the field early, and your man went to work in the town at dawn, and even went out to look for wild vegetables. The dirty laundry by the water tank is piled up there, are you still waiting for me to wash your family? Yes? Ahem. ”
Wan's questioning made Xiao Wan's fart so scared that she didn't dare to put one, and it was the first time she was stared at by Wan's with such an expression, standing on the edge of the kang and lowering her head and not daring to speak.
Shen Cuini in the next room suddenly heard a loud voice like scolding people like demolishing the house, and she was also frightened at first, and sat up in a daze, only to know that it was her grandmother and her mother who quarreled in the next room.
Shen Trini didn't look at what time it was, squinted her eyes and yawned while walking over very dissatisfied, "Milk? Mother, what are you arguing about early in the morning? Still don't let people sleep? ”
Xiao Wanshi was helping Wan's to sit down, and was about to find an excuse to apologize and admit his mistake, who knew that the girl suddenly came over and said such a sentence, Wan's anger had not eased, and she was so angry that her granddaughter was almost out of breath, covering her heart and screaming.
In fact, she was kicked by the shopkeeper of Manfulu and she was actually a little uncomfortable last night, but she didn't care much, and she didn't think about asking the doctor to take a look, she was so angry at this time that she almost fainted, and she was dumbfounded when she saw Xiao Wan and Shen Cuini.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable somewhere? Although Xiao Wan is afraid of Wan, she still respects this mother-in-law very much in her heart, and the person who protects her the most in this family is also Wan, if something really happens to her, she will not have a good time in the future.
Shen Cuini also found that her milk was not quite right, and she was screaming with her heart, which was obviously angry with her, she was so afraid that she hurriedly ran out, if the family knew that she was angry with her milk, her father would definitely have to beat her to death.
Xiao Wanshi hurriedly gave Wan's heart a slap and drank water, and it took a while for Wan's to recover, but there was still something wrong with the whole person, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Did the shopkeeper kick you yesterday and you felt uncomfortable? Otherwise, I'd better go find Dr. Sun to take a look at you? ”
Wan Shi didn't care about being angry at this time, her heart was really painful just now, and when she heard this, she shook her head weakly, "Look at the doctor, help me, help me back to the bed and lie down." ”
Xiao Wanshi hurriedly did so, and was actually very relieved in his heart, only to find out that it was not too early when he went out, and it was three poles in the sun, no wonder her mother was so angry.
Helping Wan to the bed, Xiao Wan went to Shen Cuini to settle the account, but found that she ran out without even eating breakfast.
Xiao Wan was so angry that she was going to die, but a pile of clothes was still waiting for her to wash, and she said to Wan Shi who was lying on the kang and went to the stream to wash the clothes in the wooden basin.
Shen Shuang didn't know that something was wrong at home, she said that she was looking for wild vegetables, but she still led the two little radish heads to the swamp, because it was not the first time to come back, and there was such a big harvest before, the stone and the hill were very excited, and they worked even harder when digging water chestnuts.
This piece of water chestnut does not belong to the swamp, and it will not sink into it, otherwise Shen Shuang would not dare to let them come over, the water chestnut here grows very well, and it is one when you dig into the mud in the water, that is, there is more mud.
It didn't take long for the three of them to dig dozens of them, and it took an hour to dig a small half-back basket, and the little wolf cub on the side didn't know what to run to play, Shen Shuang knew that it would come back, and he didn't hold it back.
After digging most of the water chestnuts in the back basket, Shen Shuang led the hill and stones to the stream not far away to wash his hands and feet, and found that there were many water celery by the stream, and the nearby ground was full of Qingming vegetables.
Shen Shuang looked at these delicious wild vegetables, and also had an idea in his heart, and then gave dividends to the stone and the hill.
"Stone, you come to pick this Qingming dish and throw it into your small back basket, remember to pick the tender one."
"Xiaoshan, you are specifically responsible for picking the yellow flowers of this Qingming dish, throw them into your small back basket, and I will make you a youth group and a wooden leaf when you go home."
Shi and Xiaoshan didn't know what Qingtuan and Konoha were, but when they heard it, they thought it was something delicious, the two little guys were working very hard now, and most of the water chestnuts just now were dug by the two of them, so naturally they would not lose to Shen Shuang at this time.
Shen Shuang turned around and walked to the creek to cut celery, and found that there were still a lot of wild mint here, thinking that he could add some to his usual cooking, plus summer was coming, and he could make mint tea when he planted wild mint, so he dug up several wild mint trees with a small hoe, and planned to take them home to plant in the vegetable garden.
It was another half an hour of busy work, and when the three of them finished their respective work, Shen Shuang wanted to find the leaves of the pineapple tree nearby to make a leaf ride, but found that there was no pineapple here, and the two of them didn't know what Shen Shuang was talking about for a while, she was a little disappointed, and planned to go home and ask her father.
I was about to go to find the little wolf cub and come back, but when I turned around, I saw a short thing coming out of nowhere, and its body was dirty and black, but it was biting a long-legged waterfowl with white feathers in its mouth.
Shishi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over with Xiaoshan to catch the waterfowl that had been bitten, Shishi looked at Shen Shuang excitedly and said, "Sister Xiaoshuang, this is a waterfowl that eats small fish, I saw it by the lake of the village chief's house before, and it often steals small fish." ”
Xiaoshan was also very excited, every time he only saw it in the sky, he hadn't touched it yet, and then he realized that its mouth was so long.
The waterfowl was very angry, and it was injured but not dead, so it tried to peck at the hill of its beak, but fortunately he withdrew his hand quickly and was not injured.
Shen Shuang looked at the little wolf cub lying on the ground begging for praise with a shocked face, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, how can a wolf still catch a water bird, isn't this a bird that can fly?
The little wolf cub didn't wait to praise, a little cowardly, in fact, it didn't fly, it just hid at the water's edge, plus it moved fast, and when the water bird didn't react, it bit its foot, and the foot was injured, and the water bird naturally couldn't fly.
Shen Shuang didn't care about anything else, he originally wanted to throw the little wolf cub to the stream to wash it, but he was afraid that the water in the stream would be too cold and make it sick, so he had to endure waiting for it to go home and boil hot water to clean it, but the necessary reprimand was still needed.
"In vain, if you mess around and get dirty in the future, don't say that you catch a water bird, it's useless for you to catch a buffalo, look at you, you're covered in mud, dirty and smelly, don't come near me, I have to wash you when I go home, do you say you're dirty? A little wolf who doesn't love cleanliness is not a good wolf, hear it. ”
In vain: "...... Whew"
