Selling vegetables, planting trees, cleaning up lotus ponds, in the following days, Meng Zhen's life was busy every day. Although she was tired at the end of the day, she felt very fulfilled, because with each day of hard work, she would find that her home, pond, and small orchard were getting closer and closer to what she dreamed of becoming.

"Ah, it's snowing, Xiaoyan, come and see, it's snowing!"

Early in the morning, Liu Jiajia got up to go to the toilet and felt that it was a lot colder in the house, so she glanced outside: Wow, it's actually snowing! It's April now, is there still "April snow"?!

"Don't be funny, it's been a month now, and it's still snowing?! Close the door, I'm freezing to death! ”

Feng Xiaoyan covered her head with a quilt and muttered in a daze.

"Really, look at it, it's pretty big." Liu Jiajia ran out in her pajamas very excitedly, grabbed a handful of snow on the steps under the porch and kneaded it into a snowball, ran back to the room, tore off the quilt, and handed her the snowball.

"No, it's snowing!"

Feng Xiaoyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the cold snowball.

"That's right, get up quickly, Sister Meng was uncomfortable yesterday, it seems that she won't sell vegetables today, I'll go to clear the snow, you go to make breakfast!"

Liu Jiajia shrank back on the bed and got dressed, while talking to Feng Xiaoyan.

The two of them live in Sister Meng's house, although the village committee pays rent, but 200 yuan a month is not enough to eat steamed buns, let alone the delicious and nutritious meals that Sister Meng makes for them every day. Her mother also told her: People are good to you, and you must know how to reciprocate. If you don't do housework, then help in other areas, and if you're young, you always have the strength, right?! Therefore, in their free time, she and Feng Xiaoyan helped Sister Meng plant trees and tidy up the vegetables and flowers in the yard.

Seeing Sister Meng's face pale yesterday, everyone is a woman, and they can probably guess what the situation is, so I discussed with Liu Jiajia to help her cook some red date porridge. Her cooking skills are not good, she can't even tell the difference between sugar and salt, Feng Xiaoyan and her are fifty steps each, and the other is one hundred steps, but Xiaoyan can at least distinguish these ingredients.

So, she went to clear the snow, and Feng Xiaoyan came to cook porridge.

After a while, there was a "rustling" sound of snow clearing in the yard, and Meng Zhen rubbed on the pillow and didn't get up. When Jiajia shouted "snow" in the yard, she woke up. Recently, she often gets up early to sell vegetables, and she is almost getting used to it, and she used to set an alarm clock, but now she doesn't need an alarm clock, and she wakes up at six o'clock.

Yesterday afternoon, Song Guoyong brought her the fish fry, helped her scatter the fish fry into the pond that had been filled with spring water, left her some feed, and told her what to pay attention to in the early days. Meng Zhen remembered it seriously at first, but then there was a familiar pain in her abdomen, and she felt: "It's miserable, I'm afraid it's the eldest aunt who is here!" ”

She was busy paying the fish money to others, and she didn't even give people saliva to drink, so she sent Song Guoyong away. As soon as he saw his pickup truck leaving Zhuangzi, Meng Zhen hurried home and rushed into the bathroom: sure enough, her regular customers arrived as scheduled!

Although this is something that all women must experience as adults, for Meng Zhen, these few days of every month are an absolute disaster. Because of her menstrual cramps, the first two days of each time hurt and she couldn't live normally. The most serious one happened during college, and I didn't know how to maintain it until the pain went into shock, and I was sent to the school hospital by my sisters in a panic to know that it was a disease. However, the level of the school doctor was limited, and she did not dare to prescribe medicine easily, so everyone sent her to the municipal hospital and prescribed several medicines, but she did not use them.

In the following years, Meng Zhen successively went to the municipal hospital and the provincial hospital to see both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and there was only one conclusion: physical problems. It is said that after getting married and having children, you can slowly change your physique, and then pay attention to maintenance, and the disease will be cured naturally.

Tie the knot? Having children?

Meng Zhen leaned into the chest of drawers at the head of the bed and rummaged through the remote control, turned on the air conditioner after finding it, and the warm breeze blew out after a few minutes. She continued to nest back on the bed, covering the quilt tightly, thinking a little helplessly, in her current state, getting married and having children is too far away for her, so she can only endure it every month.

It happens to be snowing outside again, so take yourself on a vacation and have a good rest. It's been a busy few days, but the initial construction work has been successfully completed, and the rest is to take care of it.

Meng Zhen is full of confidence in this, if it was her before, she would definitely not dare to be so confident, but now it is different, she has a magic weapon to win - her dream manor. With the miraculous effects of the estate, she is sure that the fruits she "grows" and the fish she "raises" must be the same as vegetables, growing fast and tasting well!

She thought in a daze, as if she heard the door shut, and then fell into a deep sleep.

“…… Forgive me for being a little indifferent, sitting in a quiet corner......" In his sleep, he seemed to hear the mobile phone ringing, Meng Zhen closed his eyes and reached out to the cabinet next to the bed, "Hey, hello! ”

"Oh, Boss Meng, I'm Li Sihai from Sihai Restaurant, you didn't go to the market today?!"

Li Sihai's anxious voice came from the phone, it was snowing heavily today, and he easily rushed to the market as usual, but found that Meng Zhen did not come. What can I do, usually people don't buy vegetables for a meal and a half, and they can eat if they make do with it, but he can't do it in this restaurant, the guests are here, and there are no dishes to fry in the kitchen, isn't this a joke?

Hearing his voice, Meng Zhen really woke up, quickly sat up, and cleared his throat: "I'm sorry, Boss Li, I wasn't feeling well today, and it was snowing, so I didn't go to the vegetable market." In this way, you come to my house to pick it up, my house is not far from the market, and it takes five minutes to drive, and I picked all the vegetables yesterday, you can pick them directly, can you? ”

"Okay, where do you say, I'll go right over!" If it doesn't work, it has to work, now that there is such a heavy snowfall, I am afraid that the supply of vegetables in the urban area is also insufficient, besides, Meng Zhen's dishes are not only not expensive, but the key is that they taste good. Take tomatoes as an example, the taste of tomato crystal buns made from other people's tomatoes is much worse. Now his restaurant, because of the change of chef, the raw materials are good, the business is much more prosperous than before, at the end of the month, the last few days are more profitable than the previous twenty days, at this rate, he can soon squeeze Huaixiangyuan away.

So, not to mention five minutes away, even fifty minutes he will go.

Meng Zhen put down the phone, got up quickly, simply freshened up, and went to the manor to pick vegetables. Yesterday she didn't go into the manor because she wasn't feeling well.

Since Meng Zhen discovered the problem of red soil a few days ago, he tried to eliminate a few tomatoes, went to the seed company to pick some high-quality and high-yield tomato seeds that are said to be the latest varieties, and only planted a few to try. She did not throw away the eliminated tomatoes, but moved them to the vegetable field outside.

These seeds, just as Meng Zhen expected, began to recover to the vigorous period of the red earth, almost one day at a time, and when she went to see it the day before yesterday, it had already begun to bear fruit. Looking at it today, the newly planted tomatoes are all ripe, and they are more than a circle larger than the previous ones, and there are dozens of red persimmons hanging on one branch.

Meng Zhen happily began to pick vegetables, she picked a basket of old tomatoes, a basket of new ones, and then picked some eggplants and rape. When she moved the food to the porch, her phone rang again!

"Boss Meng, I'm under the locust tree, where is your home?"

"Well, you just stop there, I'll move the food out."

Meng Zhen took out his down jacket and put it on, put on a poncho, put on thick gloves, and went out with a small basket of rapeseed first.

Walking a few steps to the corner of the street, Li Sihai's van was already parked on the side of the road, and he saw Meng Zhen moving the vegetable basket over, so he hurriedly rushed forward to pick up the vegetables.

Meng Zhen was not polite, she choked enough to take these few steps, her stomach hurt for a while, she said directly to Li Sihai: "Boss Li, there are two big baskets, if you don't come to the house with me to mention it, I can't lift it a little." ”

Li Sihai promised to put the basket next to the car first, but now it is snowing heavily, there is no one on the street, and the villagers are worried about the snow at home - the wheat in the field is about to freeze!

Loading all the dishes into the car, Li Sihai felt that there were more dishes today than usual, so he asked, "How many catties is this, and what is the price?" ”

"I didn't weigh it either, let's give it according to the previous number, let you come on a snowy day, I'm also sorry, you take care of me, okay!"

Li Sihai was not polite, gave two hundred yuan, opened the car door, waved to Meng Zhen and rushed back to the city.

Meng Zhen trotted home, threw the poncho under the porch, came to the living room, and turned on the air conditioner in the living room. I made a cup of black tea, nestled into the sofa, and held the chubby porcelain cup in both hands, feeling that it was starting to warm up.

It's a strange day, the snow in winter is not as big as it is now, the temperature has dropped by nearly ten degrees, and now it is estimated that it is several degrees below zero outside. Meng Zhen took a sip of tea and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. found a purple sand stew pot on the dining table, and when she opened the lid, it was a boiled red date porridge. Meng Zhen took a bowl and put it in a bowl, the porridge was still warm, it should have been cooked by Xiaoyan and them, she took a sip, the taste was not very good, but her heart was warm.

To be honest, she was very reluctant at first about the two of them joining, feeling that her private space had been invaded, and she couldn't refuse yet. After getting along with each other for a long time, she found that the two neighbors were still quite good. When she's busy, two people help cook; While she was cooking, the two of them rushed to wash the dishes and sweep the floor. Especially when she planted trees two days ago, thanks to the help of two people, otherwise she would have thirty or forty trees alone, which was enough for her to be tired. So, now she really likes them and hopes that they can live here for a long time.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of rustling snow in the courtyard, Meng Zhen returned to the living room with the bowl, turned on the TV, and was playing urban news.

Obviously, people in the city were a little caught off guard by the heavy snowfall, and some of the pedestrians in the news footage were still wearing thin spring clothes, shivering in the falling snowflakes; Some of them didn't bring rain gear, and they were drenched in snow. The reporters in front of the camera had snow on their hair, and every reporter was truthfully giving feedback on the reaction of the city's residents to the snow.

As the saying goes, "spring rain is as expensive as oil", but this spring snow is a bit of a disaster, and it is raining so much. The scene cut back to the live broadcast room, and the news anchor inserted a news item, saying that he had just received a notice that all highways in Quancheng were closed due to heavy snow on the road, and the heavy snow had reduced traffic visibility, and when it would resume traffic depended on the specific weather conditions.

Highway closures? Meng Zhen picked up the phone, thought about it, and pressed the number she was very familiar with.

The phone rang a few times, and when it was connected, a gentle female voice came: "Hey, hello! ”

"Hello, Auntie, I'm real!"
