Jiang Xiaowan is very happy today, eight years of medical university has finally come out, and from tomorrow, she can do what she likes as she likes.

Jiang Xiaowan was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine and was a well-behaved child, so when she applied for the college entrance examination, she chose the best medical university under the persuasion of her parents, grandparents and maternal grandparents. The eight-year bachelor's, master's and doctor's degree in medical science is the envy of many students, but Xiaowan likes food first, literature second, and medicine can only be regarded as not hating. She was extremely talented and studied hard, so her father told her at that time that as long as she got a doctorate in medicine, everything else would follow her. Just for her father's words, in the past eight years, she has read medical books all over the world, but also traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, under the banner of searching for herbal prescriptions, learning all over the Quartet cuisine, laying a good foundation for the future food road.

At this moment, Xiao Wan felt a lot of emotion in her heart, no matter what, she will be free from tomorrow. She's in a good mood and wanders along the artificial lake on campus. It was summer, the lotus flowers that had bloomed in the lake, Xiao Wan stopped to watch, and someone behind her pushed her, and Xiao Wan fell into the water.

Xiao Wan, who fell into the water, felt that the water was rushing towards her from all directions, she could have been able to swim, but for some reason the water that came in like a whirlpool swept her in, and she didn't have the slightest ability to resist. People's voices are getting farther and farther away, Xiao Wan's heart also sank, she is unwilling, what she wants to do hasn't started yet, is it over?

After a long time, the oppressive feeling of the water flow gradually disappeared, and there was a kind of relaxation and soreness and exhaustion after the heavy sweat dissipated. Xiao Wan didn't have the strength to think about it and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Xiao Wan had a long dream, in which she was a beautiful woman, but her origin was unknown and her identity was unclear. No one knew what her name was or where she came from, and she herself was probably injured, not only lost her memory, but also became a fool. The person who rescued him was a village man, named Shen Yanling, although he was a village man, he was handsome, he was a well-known beautiful man in ten miles and eight towns, and he was taught by his father since he was a child, and he also had some talents. It's a pity that the family is not good, and he is the stepson brought by his father, and his stepmother treats him very harshly, when he saves the strange woman home, he asks him to marry her on the grounds that he has ruined the woman's reputation, just to save the bride price and marry a good family for her young son. He took pity on the lone woman, who had no money, no power and was delirious, and if no one took care of her, he was afraid of being killed by the wicked, so he really married her back and named her Ning'er.

After getting married, the stepmother split up under the pretext of an excuse. Shen Yanling doesn't know whether he has a good temperament or doesn't care, their family only has a small number of inferior paddy fields, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient in food, and it all depends on him to go to the mountains to hunt in his spare time to make a living, so his stepmother still comes to ask for money and things from time to time, and Shen Yanling is not easy to refuse, so that his family is still poor. But Xiao Wan's strange thing is that according to Shen Yanling's character and his family's situation, it should have been impossible to get by, but it seems that from beginning to end, the Shen family has never really run out of food.

Ning'er is stupid, but Shen Yanling treats her very well, although her mind is not very clear, but she never causes trouble for him at home every day, the two have been married for six years, and now they have a son, named A Zheng, well-behaved and cute, his father went to the mountains to hunt and he took care of his mother at home.

Xiao Wan was sighing for that family, but she felt a small hand gently touching her forehead, as if testing her body temperature, she frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

It's just that the scene in front of her almost made Xiao Wan faint again.

In front of her sat a little boy of five or six years old, looking at her worriedly and anxiously. Although the little boy's little face is thin and there are some stains, it can still be seen that he is very beautiful, and if he takes care of it a little, he must be a little beautiful man. But these are not the point, the point is that he looks exactly the same as Ning'er's 5-year-old son Ah Zheng in the dream, and the surrounding environment is the same as Ning'er's home, which means that Xiao Wan is very fashionable. God, she doesn't like to read time-traveling novels, and sometimes she gets a little bored, is this a punishment?

Seeing his mother wake up, Ah Zheng, who had been quiet and sensible, was not calm, and almost jumped up with joy. Xiao Wan looked at the excited boy in front of her, her heart was astringent, she didn't know how sad her parents would be when she was gone, and she was thinking, what would happen to that Ning'er, would she go to modern times?

Ah Zheng is very sensible, seeing that her mother's lips are chapped, she thoughtfully gave Xiao Wan a bowl of warm water and fed her to drink. Now, Ning'er has made up her mind, she has taken care of this child, and she wants him to grow up happily no matter what.

Putting down the bowl, Xiao Wan hugged Ah Zheng in her arms, wiped the stains on Ah Zheng's face with her sleeve, and said softly: "My mother has slept for so long, Ah Zheng has worked hard?"

Ah Zheng nestled in Xiao Wan's arms, pursed his lips and did not speak, he was young, but very sensitive, and seemed to have sensed the difference in his mother.

The spring sun is warm, shining on the mother and son embracing each other, this picture is very warm, of course, ignoring Xiao Wan's hungry cooing. Ah Zheng looked at Xiao Wan, oh, it's time to call Ning'er, lowered her head with a slightly red face, pursed her lips and pulled her mother into the kitchen, skillfully took a bowl of rice porridge, handed it to Ning'er, and drank it herself. Ning Er looked at the rice porridge close to the rice soup in a daze, and didn't know how to eat. Ah Zheng looked up at his mother and said softly, "There is no rice at home, we have to save food and wait for Daddy to come back." ”

Ning'er then remembered that her husband had gone to the mountains to hunt five days ago, and three days ago Ning'er began to get sick, and the high fever did not go away, Ah Zheng couldn't, so she found her grandmother and aunt to ask a doctor to treat her, and the family had no money so she took rice and grain to pay off the debt. Ning Er was sad, and said to Ah Zheng: "After eating, let's go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and come back to eat?" At this time, it was still early spring, and there was no spring rain, but after the snow melted, there would be some early-growing wild vegetables, which was better than drinking rice soup, and at this time she was glad that she was studying medicine.

After breakfast, Ning'er carried a basket, took a small hoe and went up the mountain with A Zheng. Ning'er's family lives under a hill, and at this time Ning'er and Ah Zheng climbed this mountain, the mountain is very gentle, with snow, a slight moisture, and the air is excellent. Ning Er carefully searched the land beside the road, and by the afternoon, she had found a small half basket of wild vegetables and some common medicinal herbs.

Found a flat land in the forest, put down the basket and sat down to rest, Ah Zheng was still young, he didn't feel tired, he was still playing in the forest, Ning'er didn't worry about him, just told him not to go far. Sitting under a tree, Ning'er looked up at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, the sun stabbed her eyes, so she lowered her head and looked at the surrounding dirt to relieve the discomfort in her eyes.

Boredom grabbed the dry grass stalk on the ground, watching Ah Zheng play happily in the grass not far away, Ning Er pouted slightly and threw the grass stalk out in her hand. Wait, Ning'er picked up the grass stalk very quickly, looked through it carefully, and then picked up the hoe and gently dug the ground under the grass stalk, if she remembered correctly, it was a potato stalk, although it was dry, but she was confident in her level.

It didn't take much time, and there were 5 fist-sized potatoes in the land, Ning'er dropped the hoe, picked up the potatoes, got rid of the soil on them, scraped the skin and looked at it, although it was a little old, but it had not yet sprouted, Ning'er was very satisfied, picked them up, and threw them into the back basket. Raising her eyes and glancing at Ah Zheng, the child was bending over to look for something in the grass, Ning Er smiled, did not disturb her son's Yaxing, she continued to look for potato stalks, thinking that if she found a few more, the rations of their mother and son in the past few days would be gone.

"Mother-mother-" Ning'er was digging potatoes hard, only to see Ah Zheng running towards Ning'er with a small hairball. Ning'er stopped what she was doing and took the small furball from Ah Zheng's hand, only to find that the little furball was actually a little pheasant that was still a fluffy one, calling softly in Ning'er's hand, pecking Ning'er's palm lightly.

Ning Er's childlike heart suddenly rose, and her fingers teased the chickens, and suddenly remembered that such a small pheasant would not appear here alone, there should be a group, if you can catch it back and raise it, it will be good to eat meat when you grow up. So he asked Ah Zheng where he caught the chicken, and Ah Zheng led Ning Er to the grass where he was playing just now, and sure enough, there was a female pheasant with a flock of chicks foraging.

Ning'er handed the chick in her hand to Ah Zheng and tiptoed towards the hen herself. Ning Er found out that this body was originally good at martial arts, although she didn't remember the moves, but when she wanted to take her steps lightly, she was really light as nothing, could this be the legendary light skills? Ning Er was excited, who knew that the breath trampled on a withered grass, and actually alarmed the hen who was foraging. The hen was extremely alert, and immediately summoned the chick back to her side, staring at Ning Er who was approaching with wide eyes.

After a while, the hen was still staring at Ning'er with intense attention, but Ning'er was impatient. She bent down and picked up a stone, and naturally bounced it towards the hen, but it was Ning'er who knew martial arts before, how could she know how to control her strength, and the hen immediately fell to the ground. Ning Er grinned, not knowing what to say, and looked back at Ah Zheng looking at herself with a look of adoration.

Without saying anything, he put the dead hens aside, rolled up his pockets, and caught the little pheasants one by one into his pocket, counting the 12 of them, picked up the dead chickens, and beckoned Ah Zheng to go back to the place where she had dug potatoes. After looking at it, there was already a small half basket of medicinal herbs and wild vegetables, and half a basket of potatoes, so he threw the dead chicken in the back basket, carried a small hoe, and went home with a zither down the mountain.

When she returned home, it was not early, so Ning'er put the chickens in the yard, threw a few wild vegetables to them, and took Ah Zheng into the kitchen.

Ning'er's family is very wealthy, although she is not a young lady and is pampered, but Ning'er really can't make a fire, so she asked Ah Zheng to make a fire to boil water, and fetch water to wash the potatoes by herself. Watching her five-year-old son skillfully make a fire and boil water, Ning Er was sad for a while, picked up a potato and threw it into the fire to burn, and said to Ah Zheng that it can be eaten when it is soft, looking at Ah Zheng looking at his eyes that have become bright for a while, Ning Er suddenly has a sense of accomplishment.

Soon the water was boiling, Ning'er boiled the washed potatoes, let Ah Zheng watch the fire, and then carried the boiling water to the yard to deal with the pheasants. Ning'er has never killed chickens, but she has dissected many animals, and she is very handy in doing it.

After a while, Ah Zheng came out with the baked potatoes, peeled them and handed a piece to Ning'er, Ning'er opened her mouth to eat it, Ah Zheng also took another piece, biting it in small bites, and asked Ning'er what it was. Ning'er was trying to pluck the feathers of the chicken, and while biting the potato, she replied, "This is a potato, which is very suitable for filling the stomach." Ning'er remembered that in the previous life, potatoes were not native to China, but came from outside, so they had the name of artichoke, and here, it seems that it is only undiscovered that it can be eaten. The language and writing here are the same as those of China, but when it comes to history and geography, Ning'er has lost her memory, and the next few years have been muddy, and second, she is in a poor rural area where the news is closed, and she really has no clue. However, Ning'er didn't have the lofty ideals of a woman, she was not interested in making a lot of money, being a big official, or even changing history, but she liked the current farm life, anyway, she had worked hard for several years, so it was good.

Ah Zheng quickly gnawed up the small potatoes, and asked Ning'er pitifully if she could bake another one to eat. Ning Er thought about it for a while, and then agreed. Ah Zheng was so happy that he immediately picked the largest potato in the basket and threw it into the fire to burn. Ning'er helped Ah Zheng bury the potatoes in the ashes, so she didn't have to watch from the side, let Ah Zheng play in the yard, and continue to clean up the pheasants herself. The hen who was taking the chicks was very thin, but Ning'er didn't dislike it, and was thinking about taking some herbs and stewing them together to replenish her son's body.

After the potatoes were cooked, Ning'er stewed half a pheasant, and when the yard was cleaned, the herbs and wild vegetables picked back were washed and dried, the chicken was also stewed, and some wild vegetables were cooked in chicken soup, and the mother and son had a hearty dinner.
