"Sister Zao'er, I didn't come out until I finished eating with my sister!" Jiang Ziming is a talkative child, at home, if you want to die without him, it will really be a lot less fun.

Xiao Zao listened to it and said jokingly: "It's better for your family, you can eat dinner at this hour." My family doesn't know when it will be! ”

The surname of Xiaozao is Zhang, and in the village, the surname Zhang is the big surname. Everyone knows that the common people have a late dinner, but the Zhang family in this village is even more wonderful, and their dinner will almost start when the sun sets. Because of this, there is a joke: "Zhang's family dinner, the county is distributed." In other words, their dinner was too late.

Jiang Yu'er also smiled and said, "You better go back quickly!" Otherwise, you won't be able to make it to dinner. If I go shopping with Ziming again, it will be regarded as a dissipation. ”

After Xiao Zao also said goodbye, he turned around and went back.

"Sister, did you say that our family's land can really produce food next year?"

"There must be food, otherwise why am I working so hard with my brother?"

"That means we won't have to go to town to buy rations next year?"

"Hmm!" Jiang Yu'er nodded, looking into the distance, she had already thought about it, the dry land was loose, she planned to plant it in the first half of the summer, and it would be harvested in autumn. The dry land with tight soil was planted with sweet potatoes that I had dug up with my brother in the mountains a few days ago. In the paddy field, she plans to grow rice and raise some fish, although it is not worth a few dollars, but it can also subsidize some households.

looked down at his younger brother, who was already a little fleshy, and asked with a smile: "Ziming, can my sister send you to the school next year?" ”

When the little guy heard this, his eyes lit up. But it soon dimmed. Although he is small, he also knows the situation at home. I heard that it costs a lot of money to go to school, where did his family get the money? Lowering his head, he shook his head and said, "I'm not going, I'll follow my brother and sister to farm next year." ”

Seeing such a younger brother, Jiang Yuer felt distressed for a while. It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and when he is only a child, he knows that he feels sorry for his family and wants to help do something at home!

"Next year, my sister will be rich, and you and your brother will go. There are not many fields at home, and my sister can be busy alone. What's more, my sister has inquired, there are farm holidays when the school is busy with farming, can't you and your brother go home to help? Jiang Yu'er touched her brother's little head distressedly and said, "Next year, our family will build a big house, so that you and your brother don't have to squeeze into one house." ”

After talking about it, I saw that the little guy's white little face was raised again, full of hope. You can see how eager he is to go to school and how eager he is to live a good life.

The next day, Jiang Yuer put on a small basket and followed her brother into the mountain. Jiang Ziming watched the anise turn at home.

The brother and sister were about to pick star anise, and at the same time they were paying attention to the half summer in the mountains. If there is, they will dig it up and put it back, and plant it in the next year. Jiang Amao also heard what the shopkeeper said from Na Zhan, this Banxia is a good thing, one catty can be worth two taels of silver!

Suddenly: "Brother, look, look." Gastrodia, it's really gastrodia! Jiang Yu'er's joyful voice sounded in her ears. Following his sister's cry, Jiang Amao also looked over, and there were some white poles growing on the ground between them, and there were a few small flowers on them. Seeing that my sister was so happy as if she was something, she pounced on it. Take out a small shovel and dig gently into the dirt around the thing.

After a while, I saw that a lot of small, fleshy, rootless, very smooth things had been dug out of the soil. When I saw my sister digging one out, I was blind for a while.

"Niu Niu, what is this?" Jiang Amao couldn't hold back, but still asked.

Jiang Yu'er seemed to think of her brother at this time, you know, this Tianma is a good thing. A tonic, and this kind of wild gastrodia was more valuable than the home-grown one in the previous life! "This is gastrodia, a tonic. Let's dig it back next year, find a mountain forest to plant this winter, and we can harvest it next year. In this way, there will be a bundle to send my brother and Ziming to school next year. ”

She said to herself, completely oblivious to the expression of her brother behind her. I don't know how many years this gastrodia has grown in this place, a nest of digging and playing, enough to have a small half basket. Jiang Yu'er was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth.

Because it was something to be planted, she didn't put the star anise on it. After helping my brother pick a basket of star anise, the brother and sister went back happily.

Seeing the small things in his sister's back basket, Jiang Ziming thought that it could be eaten raw like the sweet potato, so he chose a big one to wash and stuffed it into his mouth. Frightened, Jiang Yu'er and Jiang Amao hurriedly shouted and vomited.

Jiang Ziming looked ignorant, looking at his brothers and sisters for some reason.

"Ziming, this can't be eaten raw, spit it out, don't eat it, my stomach hurts." Jiang Yu'er whispered.

"Oh!" Jiang Ziming saw the nervous appearance of his brother and sister, and also vomited obediently. He handed over the rest of the gastrodia in his hand. Seeing this, Jiang Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief. I also thought that this gastrodia is big and small, according to the practice of planting gastrodia to leave the big and small, you can take out the big one and sell it first. Small ones are left in the seeds.

She thought for a while and said to her brother, "Brother, these anise are about to settle." Let's not get it, wait until next year. Since we want to plant this gastrodia, let's go up the mountain to find out if we can find some more. There is also half a summer, as long as it is something that can be found in dry land, let's dig some more. ”

In fact, gastrodia and banxia are the same truth, take the big and keep the small. But this year's Banxia, she didn't plan to sell it. Only Gastrodia, she chose the big one and washed it into the sand. Boil in water for about 20 minutes and dry.

Autumn tigers, that's no joke. It was as sunny as summer.

Jiang Ziming is a small person, and he plays at home with a few children in the village, and also watches these things at home in the cold. Because the Jiang family often buys some candy back, the children are greedy and like to run to the Jiang family. Even a few small ones from my uncle's family, who don't need to go to the field, like to come over to play with Jiang Ziming.

Seeing that the land that had been cultivated in the field was idle like this, Jiang Yu'er's heart was like a cat's paw, and it was difficult. Thinking about the next time I go to town and sell the last batch of star anise, go to the seed store to see if I can sell some seeds that can survive the winter and come back to plant.

The days passed in the hustle and bustle of the three brothers and sisters, and in a blink of an eye, the last batch of star anise had dried. The gastrodia selected by Jiang Yuer before was also a finished product.

"Uncle Zhan, please help me take a look, how much do you buy this Tianma?" Jiang Yu'er came today, and she didn't bring much gastrodia, so she brought two dried gastrodia.

Looking at the almost transparent gastrodia in front of him, the shopkeeper Zhan was surprised and delighted. What is surprising is that this little girl can bring him different feelings every time, and the good thing is that the color of this Tianma can be regarded as the best in all aspects.
