Chapter 362: Wild Vegetables
The mountains are greener, the trees are greener. In the early morning, the breeze is light, and the wild vegetables on the mountain, the willow height under the willow trees, the stinging pockmarks and water celery on the river bank, and the mother-in-law and small green onions on the field.
The fragrance of wild vegetables is wafting in every household in Zhangjia Village.
At this time, it was hot in early summer in the south, and Zhangjia Village was still full of spring flowers, with the joy of spring in the air.
Zhou Jiao stood in the courtyard, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, sighing in her heart that this is the real oxygen.
Mother Zhang came out to see her, and shook her head happily - this child is funny again.
"Mother, did you sleep well last night? Kiko: Did they make trouble with you? ”
Zhou Jiao heard the movement, turned her head to see Zhang's mother, her face was full of joy, and the bright smile made Zhang's mother stunned again, and then Zhang's mother laughed.
"Our family is really getting better and better. We slept soundly, and last night Kiko and a few of them were tired from playing before they got on the kang, and they didn't wake up until now. ”
After dinner last night, Zhang's mother still didn't worry about a yard and coquettishly coquettished the two mother and son, and finally returned to the East House. Kiko was even more reluctant to leave.
Zhou Jiao listened to Zhang's mother's praise and smiled. She watched her mother-in-law enter the kitchen and shouted, "Mother, I've made breakfast." Dad went back early in the morning, and it was almost time to come back for dinner. I went to call the kids. ”
"Why don't you sleep more? ……”
Zhou Jiao heard Zhang's mother's chatter in the kitchen and smiled slightly. She didn't reply, and hurriedly shouted for the Kiko to get up and have breakfast. She's going to dig wild vegetables.
After breakfast, the family should go to work, and the school should have run away.
Mother Zhang watched Zhou Jiao carry a bamboo basket and take the two sisters out of the house, she estimated that Zhou Jiao did not know as many wild vegetables as the two little girls. Thinking of this, she laughed out loud.
She looked down at the soles of her hands, thought of her own shoes, and immediately threw them into the basket, and clapped her hands at the children who were having fun on the kang, "Peace, can you go?" ”
When Ping An heard this, he immediately threw the things in his hand and threw himself at her, shouting in his mouth, let's go... Let's go...
"Why do you little thing always like to hang out?" Seeing this, Zhang's mother hurriedly hugged the child, worried about soiling the child's clothes, so she quickly picked up the small overcoat from the pit.
After a set, looking at the white and tender little grandson, Zhang's mother really couldn't cry or laugh, this is the coarse cloth that Jiaojiao said to the child?
There was no way, Zhang's mother took the child and left quickly. She also knows that it is estimated that this is also the worst fabric for children, but who makes Jiaojiao have good craftsmanship and beautiful embroidered patterns, and this dress can't be low-key. She doesn't care, her daughter-in-law is too idle and loves to toss.
Zhou Jiao didn't know her mother-in-law's criticism at this time. She followed the two little girls to their old place, and when she saw the children around her who looked up and were stunned, she immediately laughed with joy.
"Little Fifth Aunt, why are you here?" Seeing this, the youngest granddaughter of Uncle Zhang's family ran to Zhou Jiao and asked.
Zhou Jiao was really embarrassed to say that she was digging wild vegetables. This land should be a place where children often come. She also saw that it should be a hillside that the adults in the village specially picked for the children to stay away from the foot of Daqing Mountain.
"Hehe... I've come and see you. You're so good! Mai Miao, you two play with your sisters, remember not to go far away. The little aunt went to look somewhere else. ”
After speaking, Zhou Jiao hurriedly slipped away. It's a shame, how can she forget that the adults are busy earning their jobs?
One side of the water and soil to support the other side. At this time, Zhou Jiao was on the periphery of Daqing Mountain, and it was also the place where the women in the village often stayed during the autumn harvest season.
The busyness of spring ploughing leaves the villagers with no time to take care of the gifts of nature. Small root vegetables and clusters of small wild vegetables are all life-saving grasses that fill people's stomachs, and they are also delicious dishes.
Zhou Jiao tied her trouser legs, squatted on the ground digging wild vegetables and herbs, and she looked up from time to time to pay attention to her surroundings. If you look closely, you can see that there are male yellow buns around her, not to mention the wooden stick. Fortunately, there was no one at this time, otherwise this would make Yi laugh and be generous.
The movement of the hare in front of him passing quickly frightened Zhou Jiao and immediately took out the drug. If Zhang Guoqing is here, he will try his best to stop her, but don't be fascinated by wild things, first fascinate herself.
After a while, Zhou Jiao saw a hare in the distance, she rolled her eyes thoughtfully, and put away the medicine bag. She looked at the mountains in the distance again with regret, imagining the scene of showing her skills and falling down a wild thing with a wave of her fingers, and she didn't know which year and month it would come true?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiao stood up, moved her skills, and played a set of punches with great interest. Once again, I glanced at the mountains in the distance and squatted down to pick wild vegetables. She began to dual-purpose, pondering the dishes.
After an hour like this, Zhou Jiao left the forest satisfied, carrying a bamboo basket and planning to go to the river to dig water celery and make celery meat dumplings at night.
The shortcut needed to pass through a field, and she saw from a distance that Daddy Zhang and Uncle Zhang were working, and her poor father-in-law was bending over to shovel the earth.
Zhou Jiao immediately turned around and took the two Mai Miao sisters home.
"Did your aunt remember what you taught?" In the kitchen, Zhou Jiao looked at Mai Miao uneasily.
Mai Miao rolled her eyes and carried her back with a smile: "The two of us have to be quiet, we can't shout." Our master can only work after eating bread and drinking good water. ”
"That's smart. Then you walk carefully. ”
Standing at the intersection, looking at the two swaying sisters, Zhou Jiao secretly said, "Make a sin." After saying that, she laughed happily and walked quickly to the river.
The willow heights under the willow trees at the stone slab at the entrance of the village, the stinging hemp seeds on the river bank, and the water celery, as long as they are fresh and tender, have been picked.
Zhou Jiao could only look far away. Finally found a water celery, she stood on the shore, looked down at the shoes on her feet, what a miscalculation. She took off her shoes with a hard heart.
stepped on the ground with bare feet, and the cool feeling spread from the ground to the top of her head, which was so refreshing that Zhou Jiaole smiled.
After picking a water celery, she thought it would be a pity to stop and go home. She looked around and found that except for two or three wild vegetables, the rest of the species had not even been taught to her by Zhang Guoqing.
Staring at the river, Zhou Jiao began to wonder, can she charm the river fish with drugs?
She secretly looked around, poured out the water celery in the bamboo basket, took out a packet of ecstasy, a large handful of white rice and scattered it in the bamboo basket, tied a rope and put it in the water.
As time passed, large and small white fish surfaced, and Zhou Jiao was so frightened that she hurriedly ran over and pulled up the rope to raise the blue.
Zhou Jiao secretly shouted badly. This time, she was too heavy, and she wouldn't swim a dead fish, right? At this moment, she didn't care about the white fish on the water, so she quickly picked out the small fish from the bamboo basket and threw them, and stuffed the big fish with water celery.
After the end, looking at the fish on the water, she thought about it but was not at ease, so she went barefoot and went ashore with a bamboo basket net, and finally received the fish into the space. Tired and half dead, I found that in addition to the one in front of me, there was also one in the distance.
Zhou Jiao hurriedly got up and put on her shoes, and immediately put the fish in the basket into the space. She was really worried that this matter would make a big fuss, and Zhang's mother would ask her where the fish were?
Along the way, Zhou Jiao followed the downstream, observed the river surface, and found that the place where the drug was launched was the most effective, and the other places were fine. Before she reached the stone slab at the entrance of the village, she had already seen a few old ladies and children who had not gone to work and were fishing there.
When she got home, Zhou Jiao covered her pounding heart and exhaled a long breath - it was really scary! She was secretly glad that she didn't put two packets of drugs, otherwise the whole village would have been a sensation.
