On a crooked country road, a tattered van is jolting forward, with her mother Liu Yuqin and aunt Liu Yulian sitting in front, Shen Jiming holding a large bag tightly in his arms, which contains a tightly wrapped magic flower pot wrapped in foam and bubble wrap.

In the last week of my mother's hospitalization, he planted a cucumber for my mother to change the taste, and the function was similar to that of tomatoes, and when he left today, he pulled the cucumber vine out of the bucket, and the two tomato trees had already withered.

In two more days, it is estimated that the cucumber vine will also wither.

As for the house, of course Shen Jiming will not go back.

Anyway, I didn't pay the deposit, and the tattered ones are almost out of shape, but I don't know if the landlord will cry when he comes to collect the house.

Shen Jiming could only apologize a few words in his heart, anyway, the broken house was about to be demolished.

When Shen Jianting saw his ruddy wife appear in front of him, his mouth couldn't close in surprise.

Originally, Shen Jiming wanted to call his father before he came back, but his aunt Liu Yulian didn't let him, and she decided to surprise her brother-in-law.

Of course, the surprise of the sister-in-law was big enough, and Shen Jianting's plow on his shoulder almost fell off and smashed his foot.

At this time, it is already Mid-Autumn Festival October, the harvest has been completed, the countryside is ploughing the fields to prepare for planting rape, and the mountains are full of red and yellow interlaced colorful scenery.

Everything seems to be the same in my hometown, and nothing has changed from previous years.

But in Liu Yuqin's eyes, it is so brilliant and beautiful.

It was a new life, and the sickness that had plagued and tormented her for almost twenty years was passing away, as if it were a memory of a long, long time ago.

So as soon as she returned to her familiar home, Liu Yuqin couldn't stay idle, and began to pick vegetables and wash rice to prepare for cooking, she wanted to thank her sister who took care of her for a month, and her husband who worked hard at home alone, and of course, her filial son, and no one could stop her.

Seeing the two women busy in the kitchen, Shen Jianting couldn't help it anymore and secretly pulled his son outside the house.

"Ming, what the hell is going on? Why did your mother's illness get better so quickly, didn't the doctor say that it would take at least three or four months to replace the kidney?"

Shen Jiming didn't dare to say anything about the magic flower pot, but said that the doctors in the hospital used the latest treatment drug, and as a result, his mother's kidney disease quickly recovered and reached the discharge conditions.

Shen Jianting naturally didn't know the twists and turns, and at the same time excitedly told Shen Jiming that when he returned to Yizhou, he must thank Dr. Pei and his friends who helped contact the hospital last time.

Shen Jiming naturally agreed.

Xu Zhan and Pei Qiang naturally want to be grateful, otherwise according to the condition of their mother last time, even if they delay for one more day, they may not be able to save it.

Although it was the magic vegetables that I planted that cured my mother's illness, there was no rescue and treatment at the beginning, and I couldn't do anything even if I had an elixir.

Early the next morning, Shen Jianting rode a motorcycle to send Shen Jiming's aunt back, in the next village, not far away, but when Shen Jiming's uncle Xue Qigang saw his wife, he was also surprised for a long time, he hadn't seen him for a month, and his wife looked like she was two or three years younger, much more beautiful.

Taking advantage of his father's absence, Shen Jiming took the magic flower pot and climbed up the hill behind the village.

Lina County is already at the junction of Xichuan and Shancheng, and the entire area is almost full of endless reckless mountains, which is definitely an authentic mountain county.

And this place called Stone Ladder Village is a towering mountain behind it, because there is an ancient temple halfway up the mountain behind the village, and there is a long stone staircase hanging above the mountain wall, hence the name.

Shen Jiming remembered that when he was a child, he and his friends climbed the stone ladder to the ancient temple to play.

He remembered that the ancient temple had collapsed at that time, but there was still half of it left, and there were still a few stone Buddha statues in it, but after going to junior high school, he studied in the town, and basically he didn't go much, and occasionally went to it during the winter and summer vacations, and it didn't feel interesting, and Shen Jiming hadn't been here for at least six or seven years recently.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people in the countryside, and young people basically don't see any of them, only some middle-aged people, old men and old ladies, or a few girls and fart babies who haven't gone to school, so almost no one usually goes up the mountain.

Wild thorns and weeds almost completely obscured the mountain road.

Shen Jiming took a firewood knife and climbed up the stone ladder while chopping, and it took him an hour to climb to the location of the ancient temple.

But what made him sigh was that the remaining half of the ancient temple had completely collapsed, the stone beams and pillars had collapsed to the ground, a few waist-thick wild persimmon trees grew in the broken temple, several Buddha statues were also colorful under the wind and rain, and the body was also covered with thorn vines, weeds and moss, completely submerged by plants, and only half of the body could be seen.

Shen Jiming panted and wiped the sweat on his forehead and stood among the barren grass and thorns, sighed for a while, and then found a hidden place to take out the flower pot, and then used a firewood knife to pout most of the potted soil and put it in, and carefully picked out the grass roots inside, then buried a few gourd seeds in it, took out a bottle of water from his pocket and poured it, and then found a stone pier and sat down, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.

Previous experiences have taught him that it takes at least a few minutes for the pots to react after planting.

Sure enough, when a cigarette was finished, a few gourd seedlings emerged from the pot, and then began to climb and spread around at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Two hours later, a few gourd vines had climbed up the two tall persimmon trees with a few thorns, and began to produce fist-sized white flowers.

Shen Jiming breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the magic of this magic pot has not been consumed yet.

Soon another hour passed, and the gourd vine was already full of hundreds of fresh and crisp gourds, large and small, and a persimmon tree was about to crush, and the largest of these gourds was three or four times larger than the largest gourd seen on weekdays, like a Maitreya Buddha hanging on the tree.

Shen Jiming felt that it was almost over, so he quickly pulled out a few gourd vines from the flower pot, planted them in the pit he dug just now, and then poured water on them.

Since the last time he planted two tomatoes, he has found that as long as the roots of the plant are not completely exposed to the air, these cucumber tomatoes can survive for a long time when planted in the soil, but they will not continue to grow rapidly, and even if they do bloom and bear fruit, they will become as slow as ordinary plants.

And this also provides him with a good way to preserve these melons and fruits.

Seeing that the shortest gourd was also hanging at a height of three or four meters, Shen Jiming's face couldn't help but twitch a few times, and then took off his shoes and climbed up the persimmon tree.

After a while, he slipped down from the tree, and in addition to a tender gourd about the size of a normal gourd, there was also a pile of wild persimmons the size of hard eggs, half green and half red.

These wild persimmons are childhood favorites, but it is best to wait until the time of frost to eat, otherwise it will be very astringent, this kind of wild persimmons that are not fully ripe take back and soak them in water for a few days, they will become crisp and sweet, it is really a rare snack.
