Qin Wan and He Mingxi quickly carried the basket and went to find Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen was shocked when she saw the raw rice in the basket.

She looked at Qin Wan and He Mingxi nervously, and asked solemnly, "Where did this rice come from?" ”

At the same time as asking, she had a similar thought in her heart as He Mingxi: Could it be that this kid stole the rice from the canteen?

He Mingxi was looked at by her, and his heart became nervous.

However, he couldn't see it on his face at all, and said according to Qin Wan's request: "When I dug out the vole's nest, I found it in the nest." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen didn't believe it directly like He Mingxi, but looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

He Mingxi looked at her puzzled: "Yes?" It was indeed found in a vole nest. ”

After a pause, he added, "I didn't take it from the cafeteria." The door there was locked, and I couldn't steal it. ”

In the most difficult times, he also thought about stealing rice from the canteen or warehouse.

But it's too difficult.

He simply couldn't handle it.

If you find out, you might even get shot.

Mrs. Chen saw that his face was full of puzzlement, not like he was lying.

After thinking about it, He Mingxi really couldn't steal it.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After the famine, the village took food very seriously.

If a child as young as He Mingxi could steal it, the granary and rice bowl would have been emptied by the hungry villagers.

But this rice also looks too clean, it really doesn't look like it was taken out of a vole's nest.

No matter how Mrs. Chen looked at it, she felt that there was something wrong with this rice, so she still didn't dare to be completely relieved.

Qin Wan saw her concerns and said deliberately: "Grandma, He Mingxi is so powerful, he thinks the rice is dirty, so he specially picked it up and took it after cleaning and drying!" ”

Mrs. Chen was shocked when she heard this, and looked at He Mingxi: "Have you washed it?" ”

He Mingxi: "......" is not me!

He looked at Qin Wan faintly, nodded honestly, and admitted it.

Mrs. Chen was completely relieved at this time.

I see.

She said that the rice was too clean.

It turned out to be picked and cleaned.

No wonder it's so clean.

As long as it's not stolen.

"Then I'll cook you some porridge."

He Mingxi immediately said, "Come on, I can work." ”

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

She is already very old, she has seen too much, and she knows the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mimi.

It is good that He Mingxi is willing to work.

In such a world, their Li family really can't afford a little ancestor.

He Mingxi had the intention to show himself, his hands and feet were very sharp, and he quickly scooped up the rice and put it in the pot.

Then I soaked the mushrooms I had picked up again.

The thatched hut was at the foot of the mountain, and when he went back to pack his things, he took a walk around the bottom of the mountain and picked some mushrooms.

I didn't dare to pick it all.

First, he couldn't finish eating, and secondly, the villagers found out and hated him.

He is too young now, and it is difficult for someone to take him in, and there is hope for his life.

Where do you dare to offend the villagers to death?

Mrs. Chen took out a few sweet potatoes and washed them, cut them into pieces with a knife, and said gently: "Wait a while and cook them in the porridge, otherwise you won't be able to cook much porridge with this bit of rice alone." ”

The rice in the basket weighed four catties, but it had to be saved, so He Mingxi didn't dare to cook too much.

Qin Wan looked at it almost, so she pulled Lahe Mingxi: "Let's go and water the vegetable field, grandma can watch the fire." ”

He Mingxi subconsciously looked at Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand: "Go ahead, be careful not to fall into the well." ”

Behind the kitchen is a vegetable patch and a well.

Mrs. Chen was actually not at ease to let Qin Wan get close to the well, but she was afraid that He Mingxi would not be safe alone, so she had to let the two of them together.

She spoke, and He Mingxi had no choice but to follow Qin Wan to the vegetable patch behind the house.

Then he began to fetch water quickly.

Qin Wan glanced at the vegetable field and found that the main ones were sweet potato vines, and only the corners were planted with onions, ginger, garlic and some side dishes.

This is not surprising.

Sweet potato vines can be used to feed pigs, and young shoots can be picked and fried as vegetables.

Sweet potatoes can also be harvested.

Perfect for planting now.

Nowadays, the village is concentrated on farming, and each household only has a little homestead and self-reserved land to grow some grain and vegetables as they like.

The Li family has a large population and a relatively large self-reserved land, so it is not here, but elsewhere.

According to the memory of the original owner, wheat and rape were planted in the plot.

Wheat can be used as a staple food, and rapeseed is harvested from rapeseed, which can be used to extract oil.

The rest of the vegetable plot was planted with sweet potatoes.

In this way, when the sweet potatoes are harvested, they can also be used as a staple food.

Qin Wan looked at the vegetable patch in front of her and found that the growth of the sweet potato vine was not bad.

Just thinking of the sweet potatoes she had seen before, she knew that the varieties of this sweet potato vine were very ordinary.

Because the sweet potatoes are not large, they are slender and slender, which is thicker than the thumb of an adult man.

It was far from the fist-bigger sweet potato she'd ever seen.

The variety is so poor, how many sweet potatoes can be produced?

Fortunately, she didn't arrive too late.

With Lingquan and Linglu, the growth of these sweet potatoes should be much better.

Qin Wan thought silently, and saw that He Mingxi was struggling to fetch water there, so she had to go over to help him.

The Li family is not bad, and a reel has been erected on the well, which can save a lot of effort when drawing water.

Otherwise, with just two hands, He Mingxi's small body would not be planted.

He Mingxi saw that Qin Wan wanted to fetch water, and he didn't let him at first: "It's good for me to come, this one is very heavy." ”

"It's okay, I have a lot of strength." Qin Wan pushed him away, and soon made a bucket of water easily, which shocked He Mingxi.

Directly dumbfounded.

Qin Wan glanced at him: "What do you think I'm doing?" Hurry up and water it. ”

"Oh." He Mingxi responded stupidly, walked to the vegetable field with a bucket, and watered it with a wooden scoop.

The vegetable plot is not large, and it is estimated that it is only seventy or eighty square meters.

However, it doesn't look big, and it is not easy to water these seventy or eighty square meters of vegetable patches.

Fortunately, Li Aiguo and the others came back soon after eating, and saw the two children watering the vegetable patch, so they came over to help and let them eat.

He Mingxi only poured water for about ten minutes.

But even so, he was so tired that his arms were sore.

Because you have to walk around with a bucket of water.

Qin Wan also experienced the hard work of farming for the first time.

She'd never done this kind of work before, and this was the first time.

It gave her a deeper understanding of the life of a farmer.

This watering can be regarded as exhausting her.

So after breakfast, she hid in the room, secretly opened the system panel, and exchanged for the skill card of the water system.

With water, she never had to worry about watering again!

Heipi saw that she was willing to exchange for skill cards in order to be lazy, and couldn't help but disdain: "You are too lazy." ”

Qin Wan glanced at it: "What do you know?" I'm a rational use of resources! ”
