Chapter 193: Dream Home
After Jiang Ruonan's iron-blooded words, it was a foregone conclusion that the two of them would sleep in separate rooms.
After Lu Zhenjun was annoyed, he was also a little angry.
So after Lu's father and Lu's mother left, the original atmosphere of laughter and laughter in the family disappeared in an instant.
It's not that Lu Zhenjun is making a face to Jiang Ruonan or fighting with the two of them or anything, Lu Zhenjun looks down on men who are fighting with his family the most, he just goes to the training ground every day, sweating profusely and working overtime.
In this way, the family will be deserted again.
It's just that he sees the dragon at home every day, but he suffers from the gang of people under him.
Did the Marines eat gunpowder? It's just the New Year, and they actually gave them additional training like this, and they also made up for the lax part of the New Year, isn't this nonsense? They're really going to protest!
There's no way, and you can't vent your wife and children, and you can't train his subordinates!
Anyway, he doesn't want to talk to that stubborn little woman who doesn't eat oil and salt now, and he can't just get angry and smash and fight, so he can only hint like this!
There's no way, he's a big man, don't have a face?
Ran goose, Lu Zhenjun, is still too young!
Will Jiang Ruonan eat his set? Of course it can't be!
Although it didn't seem right to notice that he was coming home late at first, in Jiang Ruonan's eyes, he felt that Lu Zhenjun had already figured it out and needed some time to distance himself (?). Isn't that what she wants? is also pretending to be deaf and dumb at the moment, after all, this is also in line with her plan!
And in the next few days, Lu Zhenjun continued to be like this, and Jiang Ruonan didn't feel it anymore.
The reason is very simple, after the New Year, spring is coming, and there are many things at the beginning of the new year, so how can you have any leisure to pay attention to Lu Zhenjun?
It's also the case for a few babies in the family, although at the beginning the grandparents and little uncle left and the house was deserted, which made them a little unaccustomed, but after all, Lu Zhenjun was not at home, and going out early and returning late was something that they had long been accustomed to, let alone noticed anything.
They were busy with Jiang Ruonan, the vegetable plot at home had to be turned over again, and the chicken pen and duck house in the backyard had to be thoroughly cleaned up for the New Year, and the batch of poultry fed last year was almost eaten, and the hens and ducks left behind were all for picking up eggs, of course, they had to hurry up and start feeding the chicks and ducklings.
It's not that these children are so willing to help is not really playful, but they are hung by Jiang Ruonan, in comparison, go out to play or help their mother work, of course, it is better to help their mother work! Only when mom is done with her busy work can she have time to slowly make beautiful clothes for them!
As long as Dabao Sanbao thinks of the envious eyes of his friends, they are as positive as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.
The little uncle said that it was called a suit, and it was trendy outside, and it was all worn by people in the movie.
It's a pity that I only wore it out to show off once on the New Year's Day, and my mother took it back and told them that they couldn't wear it.
Although the children were very reluctant, they were all very obedient to their mothers, and their mothers also said that they would make them better clothes!
When they think of clothes that look better than suits, they are even more motivated. It's not too tiring to help mom run up and down, and many times you don't have to do any work, just look at the little brother, the little brother is so cute, and he starts to learn to talk, and they tease him to play with him, and he can sit still at home.
After the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year fades, and time passes faster. February and March flowed like water, and soon April came.
After Jiang Ruonan's busyness, the spring breeze was slow, and when the temperature rose, the small courtyard of the Lu family was completely new.
In the vegetable field, all kinds of vegetable seeds sprout and grow in a patchwork of different ways. Because Jiang Ruonan had been prepared, this time she found lettuce seeds at the agricultural station, and planted a large area of lettuce in the vegetable field, which has now been transplanted, and she wants to eat them when she looks at them one by one.
The stems and leaves of lettuce are edible, whether they are stir-fried or cold, they are very delicious.
Jiang Ruonan took care of it very carefully, and let a few children come to check it every day, and Sanbao also regarded finding insects on the lettuce to feed the chickens as an important task.
If you finally find a green worm, then you have to jump up with joy and grab the worm: "Mom, I found the worm again!" Feed the chickens and cluck it! The chickens giggled and ate the raw eggs! ”
It was as if I had accomplished some important mission, and I was very excited.
Of course, the second sister is more afraid of these, girls, wriggling mollusks are disgusting to think about. She doesn't run to catch green worms, but she is very happy to take care of the chicks and ducklings every day.
The baby chicks and ducklings that have just hatched out of their shells are completely fluffy, and most of them are warm yellow, not to mention the little dolls who like it.
Jiang Ruonan has already taught Sanbao several times to be careful, and he must not catch these little cubs. It's very simple, don't think that the little doll doesn't have much strength, but for the chicken and duck cub who is still just a small lump, if he can't control his strength, he will really pinch the little cub.
Dabao doesn't have a good face for these stinky chickens and ducks everywhere, and he just thinks about eating eggs and eating chicken and duck meat, and only takes care of some every day. After another year, he felt that he had grown up a lot, and he didn't have to worry about Jiang Ruonan at all in the matter of enlightenment and self-study, and his enthusiasm for learning was very great.
Jiang Ruonan felt that it was very likely that he was playing with Wu Guofa during the Chinese New Year and was stimulated.
And this also drove the second sister and the third treasure to be much more active, and Jiang Ruonan was so relieved!
It's better to be a baby who is willing to learn than to be forced to learn, right?
And Xiaobao, who is already more than a year old, has already begun to learn to walk.
Stand up from the beginning, then climb on the ground, and then walk slowly with your hands on something...... So far, I have been able to walk almost well. The little doll who can walk is also curious about the outside world, and Jiang Ruonan has to spend more time on him.
Of course, when you can't get busy, the three brothers and sisters are of course ready-made little nannies!
Jiang Ruonan doesn't think it's wrong to let children like Dabao help take care of children, once the environment of this era is like this, if you don't let them help take care of them, you can't ask someone to watch the children anymore; Second, they are brothers and sisters, and taking care of each other is the best way to enhance their relationship.
In addition, Dabao is already sensible, the second sister is also careful, although Sanbao has jumped out of some places, sometimes people who are babbling go crazy, but when facing the little brother, he still has a sense of responsibility to be an older brother.
And this spring, what makes Jiang Ruonan the happiest?
She was the one who managed to add more scenery to the yard by transplanting two cherry trees, two plum trees, a peach tree, an apricot tree, and a pear tree. Although they are all local home-style varieties, it is not easy to find and transplant them back. There are roots and seedlings that are moved from the villagers, and there are those that are bought with money from Liangcheng County.
Because of the pink flowering of the peach tree, Jiang Ruonan was planted in front of the gate, and the rest of the saplings were also planted separately, and the original plantain suffered and had been uprooted, replaced by a pear tree.
are all small seedlings, it is estimated that it will take several years to wait for the fruit to hang, it is said that the peach is three and the plum is four, anyway, ten years, even if it takes five or six years to hang the fruit, Jiang Ruonan can always eat a bite!
Their yard is not like Song Dahe's house, which originally had peach trees. Otherwise, Jiang Ruonan would not have gone to great lengths to find the saplings.
Planting fruit trees is very cost-effective in Jiang Ruonan's opinion, not to mention that the predecessors planted the trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, the income of the fruit trees is that as long as they are planted to feed, then they don't need to take care of it, just wait for the harvest to come every year in the future.
In addition, Jiang Ruonan also thinks about grapes the most, her favorite fruit besides mangoes, but unfortunately, the climate in S Province is not particularly suitable for growing grapes. It's just like a watermelon, there are improved varieties in the market, and many people in Jiang Ruonan's hometown village in his previous life had grape trellises in their small yards, but at this time, Jiang Ruonan didn't find anyone with grapes anyway, and he ran all over Liangcheng County and didn't ask After all, this doesn't need seeds, just a seedling to cutting.
However, the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step.
Now that we have a vegetable patch, we have fed the poultry in our backyard, even the saplings have been planted, and the cherries have been planted and sprouted, all of which is good. There are plans for the future, you can take your time.
Jiang Ruonan unconsciously realized her thoughts about home in her previous life here.
That's right, don't look at Jiang Ruonan who bought a house in the city, but in her heart, she actually yearns for such a small farm yard, it can be said that this is her dream home, the green vegetable field, a group of leisurely chickens and ducks, fruit trees blooming and fruiting luxuriantly, grape racks in the yard, and flowers in front of and behind the house......
By the way, speaking of which, Jiang Ruonan was really lucky to get a bush of wild roses, and planted one at the gate of the courtyard in spring, when all things are growing. The vitality of this plant is extremely strong, and as long as there is a seedling, it will continue to divide, sprout, and take root until it grows into a short jungle.
Because of this, Li Shuying's yard has changed a lot.
"Ah, Ruonan, you're really right, this rose is really alive." Li Shuying stepped into the door, her face was full of smiles, and she quickly looked around at the courtyard of the Lu family, and the more she looked, the more she was amazed, "This courtyard has really changed!" ”
After speaking, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, afraid that Jiang Ruonan would think too much, or let others hear about it, so she hurriedly spoke again: "This is really more and more like a home, or will you clean it up, all aspects are well organized, these saplings will grow up in the future, and they will be more moisturized when they bloom and bear fruit." She originally wanted to explain the previous sentence first, but when it came to the back, she was really convinced, thinking that Jiang Ruonan was still planning to plant grapes and watermelons, she couldn't help but say, "Your life is so exquisite, you have thought of everything, and you have to run so far to get it back." ”
Later, it's about roses, Li Shuying actually disagrees with it, after all, although that flower is festive and beautiful, it is also beautiful, and it is useless. Fruit trees can still bear fruit, so what can roses do?
Open it to the eye? No, he doesn't understand this at this time. Nonsense, most people are still struggling for food and clothing, their material life has not been completely satisfied, and they can still pursue the spiritual world and external taste?
In Li Shuying's eyes, roses are a useless thing, and they also take up space, she doesn't understand Jiang Ruonan's operation.
"You young people still think it's good-looking, so it's good-looking." She said it for a while, and finally summed up and reminded, "But this thing is very fast, you can plant it, but you have to pay attention, be careful that it climbs this wall all over." ”
Jiang Ruonan thought of the young stems of the cold rose, and said in his heart, it would be strange to be able to climb all over the wall.
She said to Li Shuying: "Actually, it's not just because this flower is beautiful, but also because the roses can also be eaten, it's delicious." ”
"Can you eat flowers?" Before Li Shuying could speak, the child on the side spoke.
This time it turned out to be not the favorite three treasures, but the delicate little girl, looking at Jiang Ruonan's confused eyes, the little girl opened her eyes and continued: "Mom, can you eat flowers?" Can roses, one by one, be edible? ”
She circled the shape of a flower with her fingers. His face was full of curiosity.
"Absolutely!" This time, without waiting for Jiang Ruonan to answer, the foodie Sanbao also spoke first, "Second sister, flowers must be edible!" ”
"That's right! Pumpkin Blossom! Dabao also replied, "It's like pumpkin flowers, you can eat it, right?" ”
"Yes, we've eaten pumpkin flowers...... the second sister thought for a while, but soon she was still puzzled, "but the pumpkin flowers are different from that flower!" ”
Pumpkins are originally vegetables, and pumpkin flowers are also big flowers, although when my mother fried pumpkin flowers for them to eat, the golden petals turned into a delicious dish, which surprised them, but they quickly accepted it. But this flower is different. The rose flower is a wildflower on the mountain, which is different from the vegetable, and its flowers are petal-by-petal and can be pulled off, which is completely different from the pumpkin flower, and the most important thing is that it is so beautiful!
Sanbao glanced at the second sister, and his eyes were full of blind worship for Jiang Ruonan: "What's the difference?" It's all flowers! Anyway, my mother said that if I can eat it, it must be delicious! ”
"But how do you eat it......" Dabao also felt that his mother would not lie, but he couldn't imagine how to eat the red flower now.
Li Shuying also looked at Jiang Ruonan with a confused expression: "This flower can also be eaten?" I haven't heard of it! ”
This is normal, S province is not like Y province can eat flowers can eat tricks, for most people in S province, probably the flowers that can be eaten are nothing more than yellow flowers, pumpkin flowers, more, there is no more.
Especially flowers like wild roses, it is even more like wild flowers and weeds, the little girl looks good and likes it, and some people eat wild grass bark and grass roots during famine, but I really haven't seen anyone eat wild flowers.
Jiang Ruonan was originally chatting casually, but he didn't expect the child to hear it, and it also aroused this series of curiosity.
She said: "I can definitely eat it, as long as there are no poisonous plants, in fact, most of them can be eaten, but it is not easy to make them delicious." ”
Like she knew that it was still a bit troublesome to make flowers delicious, and the materials needed to deal with them would deter people in this era.
"Oh, that's right." Li Shuying nodded, knowing in her heart that Jiang Ruonan was a college student after all, and it was nothing to know more and more knowledgeable outside, but she was not so curious, so she remembered the purpose of her coming again, and spoke again, "By the way, Ruonan, I came to ask you, are you going to break bamboo shoots tomorrow?" ”
