Chapter 64: The Mountains of My Hometown
The day after the ancestor worship, Shu Nuan was busy dealing with the work in the fields.
And when she is busy, you can also see many other busy villagers.
Raising rice seedlings is the most important thing after the beginning of spring, and everyone's face is filled with a smile of joy.
In this pleasant atmosphere, it seems that the work efficiency has been accelerated a lot.
After the work in the field was temporarily busy, Shu Nuan went to the top of the mountain to look at his field. Except for one acre of wheat, the rest of the land is used to grow rapeseed.
At this time, the rape flowers have fallen off one after another, and the pods of the rapeseed have become full.
Shu Nuan reached out and plucked a green pod, opened it and looked at it, with a happy smile on his face.
"This year's rapeseed is growing well, and it seems that we can have a bumper harvest again."
In the village, each family keeps their own rapeseed for oil extraction, and the oil is usually used in the next year. On the premise of self-sufficiency, only if there is enough rapeseed oil for self-use, the excess will be sold.
Shu Nuan looked at the growth of rapeseed, and secretly estimated the time of beating rapeseed in his heart.
"Looks like I'm going to have to come back for May Day this year."
Almost every year around May Day, it is the time to thresh rapeseed, and then after a two-day break, the ground is plowed, and the rice planting begins.
Shu Nuan walked around several nearby hillsides, looked at the towering dragon bone mountain range in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, he still gave up his plan to go up the mountain.
Between the green mountains and green waters, there is a beautiful scenery that people are addicted to.
However, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and when there is no mountain road, it is easy to get lost in the mountains and forests.
In addition, in this season, snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains and forests are particularly rampant, and if you go to the mountains without making protective preparations, you are afraid that you will have to suffer.
In spring, the mountain is full of wildflowers and wild plants that grow well.
These wild vegetables from the mountains may be sold for a rare price in the big cities, but in their place, the wild vegetables that are overflowing are rarely on the table, and most of the time, they are pulled home and fed to the pigs.
"It's a pity ......"
Shu Nuan sighed at the wild vegetables that could be seen everywhere on the mountain, then picked a few beautiful wild flowers and began to walk slowly down the mountain.
After a few hillside walks, a long time has passed, and the sun is gradually setting in the west.
"Go home."
Shu Nuan exhaled a long breath and threw his arms down the mountain.
The next day, Shu Nuan packed her luggage and took a villager bicycle and set off for Xiaoshan Town.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to bring her grandmother's own umeboshi dishes.
These dried plum vegetables are the last batch grown in Lingquan, which means that as long as these are used up, they can no longer continue to sell dried plum vegetables and meat buns for the time being.
And for this, she herself has long considered it.
In the past few days when she went home, she watered her vegetable field with spiritual spring several times, did not use her old abandoned water tank to fill the spiritual spring, and specially instructed her grandmother to use this water to water vegetables when she left.
Although Wu Huihong was a little puzzled by this, she also nodded and answered.
After waving his hand and thanking the villagers who had brought him back, Shu Nuan picked up a large number of his belongings and walked slowly towards the rented house.
"Whew...... It's finally back. ”
She looked at the closed doorkeeper and exhaled, moved her strangled hands back and forth, and took the key from her coat pocket to open the door as she stepped up the steps.
The gate of this courtyard is a solid wooden door, and the mottled marks on the door show that it has survived the wind and rain.
"Squeak......
The courtyard door opened.
Just as Shu Nuan turned around and lifted the cloth bag at her feet and stepped forward to enter, someone behind her stopped her.
"Girl, you're back."
Shu Nuan heard the voice of the landlord Grandma Shi, and subconsciously turned her head to look over.
I saw the landlord Grandma Shi carrying a small bamboo basket and looking at her with a smile on her face.
Shu Nuan glanced at the vegetables that emerged from the bamboo basket, and greeted with the same smile: "Grandma Shi, you are going to buy vegetables." ”
"yes." The landlord, Grandma Shi, nodded and walked quickly to her side. "Here, I'll help you carry something."
Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Shu Nuan's words of refusal swirled in his throat, but he swallowed it back.
"Then I'm bothering you."
After she thanked her, the two went into the house together.
"I'll put the stuff here for you, and if you need help, just call me."
The landlord, Grandma Shi, put the warm bag on the table in front of the door, and carried her basket to the kitchenette next door.
Shu Nuan looked at the landlord's grandmother's energetic appearance, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
When she returned to her lodgings, she put her belongings in order and turned to the yard to look at the vegetables she had planted some time ago.
Some time ago, the vegetables were the same day by day, and the growth can be described as ferocious, in the few days since she left, there has been no obvious change.
"Isn't it growing a little too fast?"
Shu Nuan muttered to herself, and her eyes subconsciously looked at the landlord's grandmother who was going in and out of the small kitchen.
"I don't know if they noticed the anomaly here, it seems that they still have to restrain themselves."
She was indeed happy to have a spiritual spring that could make plants grow wildly and without disease, but she didn't want to be the focus of other people's attention.
She stood in the corner for a long time, until the landlady's grandmother frequently looked at her.
"Forget it, let's prepare well, and I'll have to get up early tomorrow to set up a stall."
Shu Nuan moved her somewhat stiff neck, turned around and walked towards her room.
After preparing the steamed buns for tomorrow as usual, the sky gradually darkened.
When she came to the stall early the next morning, she was surrounded by a crowd as soon as she came.
"What's going on?"
Shu Nuan was puzzled, and an old woman who came over every day to take care of her business some time ago trotted to her side.
"Little boss, first bring me two baskets of steamed buns, one basket of plum dried vegetable and meat buns and one basket of soup dumplings. By the way, I'll also get three tea eggs. ”
"Okay, you wait a minute."
When Shu Nuan saw that the business came to the door, he no longer asked the reason, and directly set up a stall to sell.
After the first person came to buy, people who were not in a hurry gathered quickly.
"Bring me a basket of soup dumplings."
"I want two cages ......"
"Load it for me first, I dare time."
Shu Nuan looked at the somewhat chaotic scene, and hurriedly reminded: "It's all there, don't crowd it." ”
The people in the back of the queue watched the people in front of them buy one cage after another, and suddenly shouted anxiously.
"The front, don't buy so much, you're done buying, what are we going to buy later."
"I paid for it, and you don't care." The person carrying the bun glanced at the person behind him, took a big bite of a bun, and narrowed his eyes slightly in enjoyment. "Well, it smells so good."
Shu Nuan looked at the bustling crowd around her, and a light smile rose on the corner of her mouth.
