Chapter 188: Grandma dies

Because of today's abnormal weather, although the greenhouse has used a large number of methods to keep warm, there are still a series of problems caused by low temperature and high humidity, such as downy mildew, gray mold, etc., shallots, leeks and celery and other vegetables are better, cucumber downy mildew is particularly obvious.

Lan Yi carefully observed the vegetables in the greenhouse, and found that many of the back of the leaves at the root of the cucumber seedlings had produced a frosty mold layer, sometimes which had spread to the leaves.

Xiao Qi's haggard should not be for the seedlings. Lan Yi sat beside him, the normal distance of his friends, but it still made Xiao Qi stiffen, "That's because each leaf only has one female flower, but there are several male flowers." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It turns out that the male and female of the flowers are also so clearly distinguished...... Are there monoecious flowers? Xiao Qi was still stunned.

Lan Yi replied with a glance: "There are two kinds of flowers, there are unisexual flowers with separate female and male flowers like cucumbers, and bisexual flowers with the same male and female stamens like peach blossoms. "This is the common sense content of biology class, and Lan Yi, as a good student, naturally knows it.

"There are also bisexual flowers...... Xiao Qi lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Then, is there any kind of tree or melon that only has male flowers or only female flowers?" ”

This is really there, Lan Yi's tone was still calm, "Yes, the spinach grown in our greenhouse is dioecious, the male plant only produces male flowers, and the female plant only produces female flowers." ”

Xiao Qi replied lightly, he shrunk his legs, his chin rested on his knees, and there was a bit of moisture in his eyes, "Sister-in-law Wang, you know a lot." ”

How much is this, it is just common sense in modern times, Lan Yi was infected with the sadness in Xiao Qi's words, "These, as long as you are willing to observe and learn, you will soon know." ”

Xu is full of green is too pleasing to the eye, Xu is Lan Yi did not deliberately please like the sisters in the family, the love in Xiao Qi's eyes was even stronger, "Sister-in-law Wang, you said that it would be good if people could become a tree or a grass, there are not so many troubles, I only know how to grow up, blossom and bear fruit, and then wither in the winter, and then drill out the next year." ”

How could this sound so familiar, Lan Yi pulled out a smile, "What's so good about being a plant?" It can only take root in the soil and live, and it cannot dodge the disaster of water and fire, and it can only be eaten when cattle and sheep come. You see, this little grass, born in cucumber seedlings, is disgusted by people, and it is difficult to absorb nutrients and grow taller, but it is pulled out. Plants also have the troubles of plants, and you can't just look at one aspect of everything. ”

Xiao Qi's eyes gradually cleared, "What is the other side?" ”

"Lao Tzuyun's 'misfortune and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk', everything has a good side and a bad side, so there are good and bad things to be a plant, and so is being a man. We think a lot and have a lot of troubles, but we know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages than plants, if we only see the bad side, but do not think about the good side, it is difficult to be happy. No matter what the problem Xiao Qi encountered, for a person who drilled the horns, Lan Yi could only comfort him like this.

Xiao Qi finally turned his head and looked at Lan Yi, "If yes, there are too many bad aspects, and there is no way to avoid harm?" ”

Lan Yi sat up straight, looking back at the past with a firm look in her eyes, "There is no flame mountain that can't be climbed, and there is no ocean sea that can't be crossed!" As long as you are willing to work hard and be willing to do it, there is always a way to avoid harm. ”

Xiao Qi looked at Lan Yi in a daze, her clear and agile eyes were full of firmness and sincerity. Gradually dissipating the dark clouds and dissipating the mist, Xiao Qi showed a usual smile, "Sister-in-law Wang, Wang Yanghai knows that there are still mountains full of flames in the world?" ”

Accidentally, I used the wrong word. The well-known "Journey to the West" to modern people has never been heard of in the Great Zhou. Lan Yi replied dryly: "Yes, the "Great Zhou Chronicles" contains that there is a flaming mountain with a hot surface and a fire-breathing mountain in the Western Regions. ”

"The Western Regions? The little one really wants to see it with his own eyes and turn it over. ”

Lan Yi smiled: "Okay, when we have the silver, and the business is all over the Great Zhou, Xiao Qi will definitely have the opportunity to go to the Flame Mountain to have a look." ”

This sentence hit Xiao Qi's excitement point, he jumped up suddenly, and his face like a good woman regained his charming brilliance, "Sister-in-law Wang is right, the little one has to earn enough 100,000 taels of silver to go all over the Great Zhou!" ”

Lan Yi looked up helplessly at Xiao Qi, who was half-dead just now but now she was beaten with chicken blood, is she still sitting on the ground!

Xiao Qi lowered his head, smiled, and directly reached out to help Lan Yi up.

Lan Yi rolled her eyes, not bothering to bother with him. Invisibly, the relationship between the two has become much closer.

"Sister-in-law Wang, the little one hasn't been out for almost two months, what's the fun lately?"

Saying goodbye to Xiao Qi, Lan Yi went around the city, and there was still an endless stream of people in front of the pharmacy and medical hall to see a doctor and grab medicine, with a sad and miserable look. However, when the winter solstice is the most important year for the Great Zhou people, the atmosphere of the festival gradually becomes stronger, and the people who come and go change into gorgeous costumes, and the shop pΓΉ merchants are also full of energy, and the vendors selling incense and candles in front of the temple are twice as many as in the past.

Lan Yi didn't stop long, just bought some snacks and dried fruits and rode home on a donkey. Emperor Yasui wants to sacrifice to the heavens, and the people want to sacrifice their ancestors, and now these are no longer new to Lan Yi, so they just follow the custom.

She had just arrived at home, but she saw Wang Linshan's cousin Hua Changdong. When he was a young man, it was normal for Hua Changdong to come over to give her a gift for her, but at this time he was wearing a coarse linen mourning dress, his hair was tied up with hemp rope, and his eyes were red.

"Cousin-in-law," Hua Changdong said hoarsely, "Grandma is gone today." ”

"Why did Grandma go so suddenly?" A few days ago, when he had a cold and a cold, Lan Yituo Wang Linyuan went to Huajia Village to send herbs and sachets to Wang Linshan's grandmother.

Hua Changdong's face was full of sadness, looking at Lan Yi's gaze a little dodgy, "Grandma started to have a fever the day before yesterday, and I didn't say anything when I invited Zhou Langzhong to go over, but I just let her take care of it, but I didn't expect her old man to wake up after she slept last night, and when my mother went to wake up this morning, she found that the old man was already confused and couldn't wake up anymore." ”

The old man is sixty-five this year, and it is reasonable for him to die suddenly of being infected with a cold and fever, and he is not guilty of sleeping like this, "Cousin, wait a minute, I will find Wenxuan and go back with you." ”

Hua Changdong nodded, "Cousin-in-law prepares first, and I will go to Uncle Minshan's house to report the funeral first." ”

Lan Yi returned to the house, Jia Shi was weeding in the greenhouse with her two children, and she explained the situation and asked Jia Shi to help prepare. Because she is the daughter-in-law of her granddaughter, she does not need to be filial piety, but she also has to take off the silver hairpin and replace it with a bamboo fork, wearing a long-sleeved skirt with thick linen and no edges, and a pair of hemp shoes under her feet, while Wenxuan only needs to dress up every day.

Jia Shi helped her change her clothes neatly, "Tao'er is over today, when will she come back, do you need to keep vigil?" ”

Lan Yi shook her head, she was not familiar with the funeral customs in the village, although Wang Linshan buried her throughout the whole process, but Lin Shan was young and did not have so many children and grandchildren.

"If the mourning lord and the mourning lord don't talk about it, you should come back with the child as soon as possible, now the weather is cold, and there is more food to eat in the cold, and the people who cough and runny nose are far away." After Jia's advice, he was still not at ease, "I'd better go with you." ”

In Jia's view, Wang Linshan's maternal grandmother and Wenxuan are not real relatives, if they are sick for the sake of mourning, they can't be guilty, and a two-year-old child, according to the rules of Meixian, can leave after kowtowing and hanging filial piety.

Although Lan Yi is not close to Wang Linshan's maternal grandfather's family, she is now Wang Linshan's wife, and the rules that should be followed still have to be followed, "Aunt Yao, there is still this big mess at home, and Yu'er also needs someone to take care of her, so don't go." The cousin of the Hua family has gone to the second uncle's house to report the funeral, and the second or third brother should go with me, so you can rest assured that they are there. If they need to stay there, I'll ask them to bring Wen Xuan back first, and then send him over the next day. ”

"Mother, Wenxuan will be with you and won't come back." Although Wen Xuan was confused, he also grasped the key point.

Yu'er also took Lan Yi's hand and straightened her little chest, "Mother, Yu'er will also go, take care of her mother and protect her brother." ”

Lan Yi bowed down to comfort the two children, "Yu'er is older, help her mother take care of grandma at home, and take care of our home, okay?" Mother took her brother with her. Your Lin Shan's father's grandmother has passed away, and your mother wants to mourn, you are good. ”

Yu'er nodded sensibly, several old people had died in the village recently, and he could still remember his father's death when he saw such a painful scene, and knew that he couldn't be willful at this time, "Mother, Yu'er is obedient." ”

Looking at the mist in Yu'er's eyes, Lan Yi rubbed his head distressedly, "Yu'er is really a good boy of my mother, don't be afraid, my mother will come back soon, if my mother doesn't come back at night, you will sleep with your grandmother, and you have to be obedient." ”

Yu'er twitched her little nose, obediently. Wen Xuan came up and hugged Lan Yi's arm, "The baby is also obedient and obedient, go with my mother." ”

Second Uncle Wang, Lin Xi and Hua Changdong soon came over in an ox cart, Lan Yi took out the black short-haired cloak given to her by Xia Wan's mother Madame Qin last year, hugged Wen Xuan, who was dressed thickly, and got into the ox cart and rushed to Huajia Village with Lin Xi and Hua Changdong.

"The third uncle and eldest cousin are both at home, so they didn't go out on the boat, right?"

Hua Changdong replied lightly.

"Auntie sent a letter too, right?" Wang Linshan also has an aunt, and she is not far from married.

Hua Changdong didn't look up, but only replied in a low voice: "My little aunt has been waiting by my grandmother's side since she was sick, and my cousin-in-law is the latest to know." ”

Lan Yi saw that he didn't mean to speak, so she didn't ask anymore, and only hugged Wen Xuan and whispered to him.

Wang Lin frowned when he saw that Hua Changdong's attitude towards his sister-in-law was not respectful enough, but he understood that his grandmother died suddenly and was overly sad, so he didn't care too much, and rushed to Huajia Village in silence all the way. R1152
