"You're talking about camelina, which grows in grass and has plumed leaves. The one I found was the wild camellia in early spring. Don't look good-looking, it tastes delicious. If you don't believe it, you smell it. ”

Xiaocao dug up a shepherd's cabbage with only two centimeters of leaves and brought it to his nose. Sure enough, there is a fragrance of wild vegetables.

"But this shepherd's cabbage is so small...... "Xiaoshi also squatted down, pouted his ass and dug into the wild vegetables.

There are a lot of wild camellia in this patch, and it is estimated that a month later, there will be a layer of white flowers here. Yu Xiaocao picked up the larger ones, kept digging with his hands and feet, and said with a smile: "Let's come early, and in a few days, we will be able to grow up." The largest leaves are an inch or two long! Don't dig if it's too small, let it grow. ”

Along the edge of the ditch, the sisters and brothers dug while looking for it, and the shepherd's cabbage sprouted earlier on the sunny ditch bank, and the leaves were obviously larger.

The warm sun of spring is gradually rising, and Xiaocao takes his younger brother to bathe in the warm sunshine while harvesting the first wild vegetables in early spring.

At the foot of the mountain, Qian Wen, who chose a stone to sit down, seemed to be less attracted to him by books. Hearing the joyful cries of small stones not far away from time to time, he raised his head from time to time and glanced at the pair of thin backs dozens of meters away. The heart can no longer be still.

He simply put the book in his arms, and walked in the direction of the siblings. The pair of focused siblings didn't notice his approach.

Yu Xiaocao squatted, moving forward step by step, the shovel in his hand was busy. Qian Wen leaned over - at this time, are there really wild vegetables?

Suddenly, Xiaocao saw a lot of shepherd's cabbage in front of her, which was quite big, so she screamed happily and jumped up happily. didn't pay attention to Qian Wen coming behind him, and the back of her head hit his chin all of a sudden.

Xiaocao covered her head, turned her head and saw Qian Wen, who was also holding her chin and looking painful, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to you behind me, did it hurt?" ”

When Qian Wen was hit, he accidentally bit the tip of his tongue, and tears welled up in his eyes. He hurriedly opened his eyes wide and looked up at the sky, for fear that he would not be able to control his tears from letting his little sister see him.

The responsibility for this matter is not Xiaocao, he said very gracefully: "It's mine, no, I shouldn't be so close." The tip of his tongue hurt, and he kept inhaling the cool air, his voice was a little muffled, and his expression was slightly distorted.

Yu Xiaocao snorted and laughed: "We didn't mean to, no one should apologize to apologize." Did we make a noise that you read a book? After digging this piece, I'll take the small stones and go a little farther away......"

"No, no! I came out mainly to relax, and my husband said that reading should be a combination of work and rest...... I'll help you dig up wild vegetables. Qian Wen lifted his cotton robe and squatted down, but found that he had no shovel.

Xiaocao shook his head at him, lowered his head and dug the shepherd's cabbage he had just discovered, and said, "No need, you should go and read a book." Delay your study, but it's not mine! ”

Qian Wen said with a smile: "Mr. said, you can't study by death, "Analects" cloud: If the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not divided, who is the master?" So saying, he took the shovel from her hand and shoveled it towards the shepherd's cabbage on the ground......

"Hey, hey! Be careful! Stick to the ground shovel, or the leaves will be separated! Yu Xiaocao saw that he was clumsily digging up the shepherd's cabbage, and he destroyed a few of them in a while, so he reminded distressedly.

The little stone ran over from a distance, with a large handful of shepherd's cabbage in his jacket, and saw that Qian Wen used his sister's shovel, so he put the shepherd's cabbage in the basket, handed his shovel to his sister, and said, "Second sister, you use mine, I'll run fast, and then go home and get a handful!" ”

Before the words fell, he spread his legs and ran away.

Yu Xiaocao squatted down and patiently demonstrated to Qian Wen a few times, and Qian Wen quickly dug up decently. Two people squatted side by side on the edge of the ditch, silently digging wild vegetables, and from time to time whispered who had dug up a big one. There is a faint sense of tranquility and harmony between the two......

After a while, Xiaoshi took the shovel and ran back, followed by the chattering Qian Wu. Qian Wu saw that his brother didn't read, and helped Xiaocao dig up the shepherd's cabbage, and said strangely: "Brother, why are you here, didn't you come out to read?" ”

Qian Wen glanced at him and said seriously: "I have finished reading it, and recalling the content of the book while working is conducive to understanding and integration." Xiao Wu, didn't my mother let you put ducks? You sneak out again, be careful that your mother hits you with a broom! ”

For this brother who was three years older than him, but was always old-fashioned, Qian Wu was still a little stunned, he shrunk his neck, and said: "The ducks have rushed to the pond, they will forage for food by themselves, and I have nothing to do...... By the way, little stone, what are you doing with so much turf behind your house? "Gotta change the subject!

Yu Xiaocao looked at him with a smile and found that this little guy didn't look like his brother at all. The elder brother is white and clean, with delicate and delicate facial features, but the younger brother has dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two small tiger teeth when he smiles, and he looks very cute.

Xiao Shi straightened his back proudly and said, "What kind of turf, that is called grass straw, which is made of wheat straw and straw, and is used to keep the vegetable field warm!" ”

"Keeping the vegetable patch warm? You can't grow your vegetables right now, right? Qian Wen looked at Yu Xiaocao in surprise, and his intuition told him that this should be her masterpiece.

Sure enough, Xiaoshi said triumphantly: "Yes! The one in the front yard has been planted for three or four days, and when I opened the grass this morning, I found that the rapeseed had already sent tender little shoots! My second sister is amazing, right? She can come up with a method that no one else knows! ”

"Oops! Did it really sprout? The water tank is still freezing this night, and I am not afraid of freezing! Qian Wu's eyes widened, and he was amazed. In previous years, his family's vegetable patch only began to be sown at the end of March, and it was at least April and May to eat fresh vegetables.

After eating radish cabbage and pickle sauce for a winter, Qian Wu felt that the liquid secretion in his mouth accelerated when he thought of the fresh and green vegetables.

"Won't your family be able to eat vegetables soon?" Qian Wu looked at the little stone and was envious in his heart.

Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "How can you eat it yourself!" The dishes are to be taken to the town for money. The second sister said that when she earned money, she would also send me to study in a private school. Brother Xiaowen, if you don't understand anything in the future, I'll go and ask you! ”

Thinking that the Shi family can't even eat enough at the moment, but being an older sister can still think about his younger brother's academic future, Qian Wen couldn't help but glance at Xiaocao again.

Xiaocao's facial features are not outstanding, with long and narrow Danfeng eyes, faint eyebrows, and a nose that is not strong enough, and a meaty mouth, which does not conform to the current aesthetics of cherry mouths. However, the combination on the palm-sized little face, but it is so vivid and natural.

Sensing his gaze, Xiaocao smiled back. Next, with the addition of the rich brothers, the speed of digging wild vegetables has increased a lot.

Although she has been wearing it for more than half a year, Xiaocao still hasn't adapted to the habit of eating two meals a day. Just after noon, her stomach began to rumble in protest. Xiaocao clutched her hungry stomach, and slowed down the movement of digging wild vegetables in her hands.

Qian Wen, who was not far from her, accidentally heard it. touched the piece of steamed bun in his arms, thought about it, and quietly approached her while digging wild vegetables. Half a step away from her, he took out the steamed bun and quickly stuffed it into her hand, stood up and walked a few steps away quickly.

Xiaocao looked at the cloth bag in his hand, looked at the young man's slender back, and opened it to see that it was a steamed bun mixed with white flour. There are few families in the village that can afford such steamed buns, and it is estimated that Aunt Qian specially prepared them for this son.

If you want to give it back to him, the person has already gone away. If you catch up, it's really a little unsightly to pull and pull for a steamed bun. Xiaocao thought about it, then wrapped the steamed bun again, put it under the camellia in the basket, and when he went back, find another opportunity to give it to him.

This is not the season to dig wild vegetables, although the shepherd's cabbage seedlings have not yet grown, it is better that no one will grab them. The four of them dug for a long time, and both baskets were stuffed to the brim, carrying heavy ones.

Xiaoshi and Qian Wu, carrying it with a wooden stick, walked in front of him. Xiaocao bent down to pick up the other, but was taken by a big * first.

Qian Wen picked up the basket and smiled at Xiaocao, the shallow dimples on the side of his mouth appeared from time to time: "Let's go......"

On the way back, I met Zhao Han, the son of Zhao Orion, who was carrying a pheasant in his hand and walked in the direction of Xiaocao's house.

Zhao Orion's family came to Dongshan Village thirty years ago, when Zhao Orion's father took him, who was only two years old, to build a grass hut at the foot of Xishan and lived. Their household registration did not fall in Dongshan Village, so naturally there was no land. Fortunately, Grandpa Zhao is good, so he makes a living by hunting.

Fifteen years ago, Grandpa Zhao suddenly left for a while, and when he came back, he told his son Zhao Bufan that he had set a daughter-in-law for him, that is, Zhao Han's mother-in-law. This uncle of the Zhao family has a gentle temperament, and her actions and demeanor always reveal everyone's beautiful upbringing, and everyone guesses that she may be the daughter of a down-and-out family. However, in Xiaocao's opinion, Zhao Boniang has the neatness and ability of the daughter of the general.

And Zhao Han also learned the skills of family inheritance at a young age. Xiaocao heard his father say that every morning and evening, Grandpa Zhao would personally guide his son in martial arts. He had two tricks from Zhao Orion, and he was a lot more agile......

"Brother Han, have you come back from hunting? How's the harvest today? Little Stone threw down the basket in his hand and trotted up to meet it.

Because of his perennial martial arts practice, thirteen-year-old Zhao Han is much taller than his peers, with a visual measurement of more than 1.7 meters. The wheat-colored skin glowed with a healthy glow, a pair of sword eyebrows flew into the sideburns, and the tiger's eyes shot out from time to time. Standing next to Qian Wen of Bai Jing Siwen, one article and one martial arts, each with its own merits.
