It was noon when the mother and daughter went out of the city, and the two of them, who had only eaten some dry food in the morning, were inevitably hungry, but fortunately, before leaving the city, the Lu family brought two steamed buns, with the remaining half pot of water, and they could barely satisfy themselves.

The price of this Qingyang county is expensive, and the mixed noodles and steamed buns cost three cents a piece, because of the unpleasant things that happened in the "Niyun Clothes Shop", the Lu family didn't have the heart to take Yiyu to visit this county again, and only bought some sundries to use when she went back, and drove her away in an ox cart.

Yi Yu sat on the cart, eating some yellowed steamed buns without saying a word, the joy when she came in the morning was gone, thinking that she had been constantly being looked at with colored eyes since she entered the city, although she didn't take it to heart, it was false to say that she didn't care at all, especially when she thought that Lu might be unhappy because of this, it was even more uncomfortable.

Just when she secretly checked Lu's expression, Lu also glanced at her from time to time, and Yi Yu saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to open her mouth to comfort but knew that some things were not suitable for her current age at all, so the two were silent for most of the time.

When she finally entered a sparse pine forest, Lu slowly opened her mouth and asked her.

"Yu'er, don't you think the city is not very good?"

Yi Yu finally waited for her to take the initiative to speak, and hurriedly replied honestly: "Hmm." ”

"Is it uncomfortable to be looked at like that by others?"

She didn't know how to answer Lu's question, did she want to tell her that it was not the eyes of others who made her uncomfortable, but that she was afraid that she would feel sad when she remembered her previous life?

"You kid, every time your mother asks you something serious, you don't answer, and you want your mother to guess your thoughts, it's like-" Lu's words suddenly froze, and Yi Yu's brows jumped, probably guessing what she didn't say later.

"Alas, my mother knows that you will always be uncomfortable, the first time I brought your second brother here, he also had a fight with someone, and he ...... at that time"

Lu Shi shifted the topic to Lu Jun, and slowly talked about the first time she took Lu Jun into the city, Lu Jun had an argument with others because of a disdain for the countryman's unpleasant words.

"It's reasonable for us small villagers and those people in the city to look down on us, don't be sad about this matter, let's just make money and live an honest life, and we don't need to care about other people's eyes." Lu Shi said that, looking at the relict jade, his expression was already a little dazed.

Yi Yu looked at her eyes that were staring at her, but her eyes were gradually out of focus, and she muttered to herself, "If not... Your brothers and sisters don't have to be looked down upon..."

Her voice was small and intermittent, and Yu Yu only heard her last repeated words that seemed to be words like "right or wrong", and the doubts that had existed in her mind from more than half a year ago rose again.

She tried to restrain the desire to know the truth, and the only thing she regretted until now after she really integrated into the family was this thing that the whole family seemed to know, except for what she didn't know.

But she couldn't make Lu sad because she cared, because Lu and her two brothers were trying their best to hide her about it, and since they didn't want them to know, then she couldn't add to the trouble for her family.

Even if there is such a "secret" between them, they are still the closest family.

Just when the ox cart came to a bumpy place, both of them trembled, one looked up and the other came back to their senses, and their eyes met again.

Lu's expression gradually became gentle, he pulled the noose on the cow's body with one hand, and gently stroked Yiyu's hair with the other, and said: "I don't know why, I suddenly remembered some things from the past, although you are still a child, and you have been delirious for a few years, but my mother always feels that you seem to be different from others, although you are not as smart as Zhi'er, and you are not as lively as Jun'er, but sometimes you are more like a little adult than your eldest brother." ”

After hearing what she said, Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then gave her a sweet smile back, and said, "Xiao Yu just thinks that everything is very clear in her head, not like the nerd of the eldest brother, like an old man." ”

She also knew that the behavior she had covered up would definitely make Lu suspicious, and she didn't think of completely pretending to be a naïve child who didn't know what to do.

"Don't let him hear what you say, it's hard to make sure he finds your shortcomings and laughs at you." Lu Shi laughed.

Yi Yu pouted dissatisfiedly, remembering Lu Zhi's black belly appearance and secretly shuddering, no longer telling Lu Zhi "bad words" about Lu Zhi, and then shifting the topic to Lu Jun, who was easier to bully.

***

This year's grain maturity was half a month earlier than usual, and the people in the backing villages were very excited, because the harvest was even two cents more than last year, and the Lu family's 30 acres of land also earned half a cent more than before.

Therefore, the remnant jade pestered the Lu family to create a small vegetable garden in the yard, a place six feet long and six feet wide, and Lu Jun helped turn over the ground and carry the soil in the field to tidy up.

The family only thought that she was greedy for watching some vegetable seedlings grow in other yards, so she went. But in fact, it was very useful for Yu Yu to take this small vegetable garden, and after putting aside her anxious mind a while ago and concentrating on it, she decided to wait for this situation to stabilize for a few years before starting to use her abilities on a large scale, and before that, it was still feasible to fiddle with some plants to add some fun to the life of a family of four.

If she had questioned whether the extensive use of her diluted blood would have an effect before the harvest of the grain fields in the village, the harvest had already solved her doubts.

Her family's 30 acres of land is considered a lot in the village, and it is somewhat different from the unit of measurement she knew in her previous life that the grain field here is about 500 square meters, even if it is one acre, every 20 acres is one hectare, and the farmers in the village have a total of more than 20 hectares of grain land, most of which are planted with wheat and a few are mixed with corn and the like.

Although this year's harvest is also due to the heavy rains of last autumn and the dredging of earthen canals, Yi Yu knows that the grain that has been affected by the drought can be harvested more than in previous years, and it is definitely stimulated by his own blood.

It's just three or four drops of blood, which still have an effect on the plants on these twenty hectares of land, so that the problem of large-scale use of diluted blood is solved, and she doesn't have to worry about making a fortune in the future, forcing herself to bleed heavily, you know, although it is just a small needle hole on the fingertip, it is still very painful for a girl.

Instead of the worries and gains and losses she had when she first discovered her abilities, she was now excited and looking forward to the future.

After questioning Lu, she carefully selected three plants that even the other party did not know what they were doing—mint, aloe vera, and dandelion, which she found in the small forest in the back mountain and by the river outside the village, which are more common and familiar to her in modern times.

She carefully transplanted a part of them from their growth in her own small vegetable garden, first carefully watered and cared for them every day, and was not in a hurry to give birth to them, until the aloe vera was in some bad condition, and then she used a few drops of water mixed with her blood, and sure enough, the aloe vera came later, and grew much better than the dandelion and mint, and after the experiment, she slowly watered the special plant "nutrient solution" for all three plants.

When summer came, the three things in her small vegetable garden had already reached maturity, and Lu Shi was very rare about this, and after complimenting her a few words, he began to ask her.

"At first, you fiddled with these, and my mother joked that you didn't know how to fertilize, but now they have all grown, and you really have a bit of a foolish ability."

"Xiaoyu is playing blindly, mother, this green leaf grass tastes cool, and it's fun." Yi Yu pointed out the mint to the Lu clan by the way.

Sure enough, Lu Shi immediately became interested, and immediately picked a mint leaf down, because she had never seen the jade fertilize on it, so she pinched it with her fingers a few times and put it in her mouth.

"Yo, what is this, this smell!" Lu Shi narrowed his eyes in surprise, and spit out the leaves in his mouth again, not too dirty, pinched his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Xiaoyu doesn't know, I found it when I was playing by the river, I thought it would grow flowers, but it was still leaves."

Lu Shi frowned and said, "I forgot to mention you, and I don't know if this thing can be eaten or not, so you dare to taste it blindly, how can you put everything in your mouth, and your guts are fatter than your second brother." ”

Yi Yu pursed her lips and whispered back, "Didn't you put it in your mouth just now." ”

The tip of Lu's ear heard her muttering, and immediately laughed angrily, shook his head and said: "You kid, the older you get, the more you like to talk back, your mother doesn't care about you on weekdays, how can you be naughty and don't let people care, you listen to your mother, in the future, this unknown thing is just to play, if you want to eat indiscriminately, your mother will punish you." ”

Yi Yu hurriedly shook his little head and said: "Mother, I have tasted this mint several times, and I haven't seen any discomfort on my body, you think, it's so hot in summer, if this thing can be eaten, let's soak it in water and drink, how cool it is, and the second brother doesn't have to drink cold water to quench his thirst, and he will be scolded by you." ”

Hearing this, Lu Shi stretched his brows, pulled another mint leaf down, and asked, "Do you call it mint, what are the two words?" ”

Only then did Yi Yu realize that he had missed his mouth, so he could only reach out and make a few strokes on the ground to Lu Shi, and said: "The righteousness is thin and the sky is thin, and the lotus pond is in autumn color, because this leaf is as green and beautiful as the lotus leaf when my mother taught me to embroider, but it is small and thin, so I call it mint." ”

She was blind on the one hand, and thought of the strangeness of this era, she was a student of Chinese literary history, naturally it was clear that idioms started from the Southern Song Dynasty, but there were already a large number of idioms in this place, since she began to learn to write calligraphy a year ago, Lu Shi and Lu Zhi began to teach her some idioms and their explanations, which were not much different from what she knew in her time, but some allusions came from different sources.

"Yo, the idiom I learned a few days ago was used to show my mother, but your name is also appropriate." Seeing her smart and cute appearance, Lu Shi also eliminated the slight anger just now, stretched out his hand and nodded her little nose and said.

Yi Yu grinned, and then said: "Mother, don't worry, this thing grows by the river, if it is poisonous, we will find it when we drink water on weekdays, why wait until today." ”

"You're smart." Lu Shi thought about her words and felt that there was eight points of truth, so he stopped saying that she was not on this matter, but excitedly pulled a few mint leaves and went back to the house to try the method of soaking water and drinking water.
