Chapter Seventy-One: Blossoming and Bearing Fruit
Zhou Cuihua understood her daughter-in-law, sighed, and kindly reminded, "Yuanjia daughter-in-law, I understand what you think in your heart, but people, you have self-knowledge." If you don't understand, we won't understand, don't be ashamed, just learn from others.
In the past, you were the most virtuous and capable daughter-in-law in our village, but now you are pressed by their concubines, and you feel uncomfortable. But don't you want to think about how much benefit we have received from others along the way? We need to be grateful, not complaining. β
"Mother, I didn't mean that." Yuanjia's daughter-in-law was a little uncomfortable when her mother-in-law said that she was in her heart, "I haven't forgotten!" I'll just talk about it! β
Zhou Cuihua shook her head, "That's what you mean, you just think that they don't even have a man, two women with children, and you look down on them."
If you think about it, two women who don't have a man can live a good life like this, that's the ability. Think about it again, if you don't have a man, without us elders, will you live a hard life? Are you afraid?
Look at Ali Niang, she can hunt, and our family can get a lot of meat at two ends in three days. That Yuanqing's daughter-in-law is even more powerful, she can read and interpret words, and she can also do arithmetic, and our grandson will recite the ninety-nine multiplication table.
In the future, Yuanqing's daughter-in-law will also teach the children to read and write, which is good for us. Don't offend people with your eyes open, it's a good thing to ruin my ears, you remember it for me. β
Zhou Cuihua understands her daughter-in-law, and she is always worried that this daughter-in-law will have a muddy brain and offend Liu Paner.
Liu Paner's temper is very impulsive, and her temperament is also straight, and she will never let Yuanjia's daughter-in-law go.
Yuanjia's daughter-in-law was embarrassed when she heard her mother-in-law's reprimand, and her mother-in-law said what she thought in her heart. She really doesn't like the two of them, but she admires them very much in her heart.
If it were her, she might not have been able to do so well.
"Mother, I know, I'll just talk about it in front of you." Yuanjia's daughter-in-law smiled and compensated her mother-in-law, "I know the severity, and I definitely don't say it outside." β
Zhou Cuihua still wanted to reprimand, but she was afraid that if this daughter-in-law didn't say it in front of her, it would also affect the relationship between the two families if others said it.
Zhou Cuihua reminded, "Don't rub it in, let's hurry up, the crops are blooming, and the fruit is not far away.
Let's take care of the old and young in the family, and take care of the things in the field, it's enough. Other things, just know in your heart, but don't think nonsense and offend people by talking nonsense outside. Even if you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you think about your children?
My eldest grandson Mao Dan is thirteen years old this year, and he will be married in two or three years. If people know that you will pull your wife's tongue all day long, what good girl is willing to marry her daughter? β
As soon as she heard that she was going to tell her son about her daughter-in-law, Yuanjia's daughter-in-law was stunned and nodded again and again, "What my mother said is, I know it's wrong, and I will listen to my mother in the future." β
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was quite obedient, Zhou Cuihua was a little relieved, a little stupid, at least she could listen to persuasion.
Liu Paner went to the crops every day to take a look, smiling, melons and croissants began to bloom, and some of them had already grown melons.
The tomatoes also bloomed, one by one, and Liu Paner knew that this was a new variety of tomatoes, and seven or eight tomatoes could grow on one bunch. It's not big, but there are a lot of them.
Muskmelon and croissant honey are estimated to be sold fresh, and there are also small melons in the local area, and the price is estimated to be not expensive.
But tomatoes can be eaten raw and stir-fried.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, suitable for all ages.
Tomato rice bowl is delicious, and almost no one doesn't like to eat it.
This thing should be able to sell for a lot of money. Whether you can eat fragrant, drink spicy food, and live in a big house this year depends on tomatoes.
At this moment, Liu Paner's eyes looked at the chili pepper with small white flowers.
The branches are strong, and although they are not too tall, they have a lot of flowers.
Liu Paner erected a shelf next to all the tomatoes and peppers, hoping that they would grow more vigorously and not be afraid of wind and rain.
Seeing the eyes of the third brother and sister, Liu Shi looked at the plant with small white flowers fiercely, and asked with a smile, "Brother and sister, what is this?" I see that every time you come over, you want your eyes to stick to these things. β
Liu Pan'er smiled, "This thing seems to be a seasoning, similar to dogwood, it tastes better, and it can be cooked." β
"I like to eat dogwood, and when I stir-fry, I put a little bit of it and it tastes good. It's better than dogwood, and I'll have to taste it then. Liu smiled, "Especially when frying meat, it should be particularly flavorful." β
Liu Paner knows that her sister-in-law has a heavy taste, and when she usually barbecues, she keeps sprinkling salt. She felt salty, and her sister-in-law felt just right.
"When the time comes, I will cook a few good dishes for my sister-in-law." Liu Paner promised that there should not be too many dishes made with chili peppers!
Spicy chicken, spicy crab, spicy fishΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Crab?
Liu Paner suddenly thought that she had seen crabs in the creek, and they were quite big.
However, everyone would rather eat fish than crabs, because they feel that there is no meat and it is particularly fishy.
Thinking of the taste of spicy crab, Liu Paner swallowed her saliva.
I really want to eat it.
Thinking of this, when Liu Paner looked at the chili pepper seedlings, she looked forward to growing chili peppers now, so that she could eat fragrant and drink spicy ones.
In order to make these rare tomatoes and peppers grow better, Liu Paner often comes to pull weeds, apply fertilizer, and take care of these crops like children.
Although Zhou Cuihua will also take her daughter-in-law to serve these crops, she doesn't know the preciousness of these crops, so she doesn't take it seriously, it's almost enough.
In this way, it naturally does not grow as well as Liu Paner's crops.
The hundreds of corn plants that Liu Pan'er scattered also grew taller than people, and they had already tasseled, and two or three corn cobs grew on the branches.
Liu Shi was curious and pointed to the corn, "Fourth brother and sister, what is that?" β
Liu Pan'er pretended not to know and shook her head, "I don't know, I said it was a crop from Fanbang, but I haven't seen it." When it's ripe, let's see. If it's also a good thing, keep the seeds. If it's not good, it won't be planted next year, and there will be no waste of space. β
"Third brother and sister, you are really adventurous." Liu praised, "You see that most of the things we grow are something I have never seen." β
"We don't have anything, so it doesn't matter if you try." Liu Paner said with a smile, "These are all wastelands that have been opened up, and it is naturally best to use them reasonably." It doesn't matter if something good doesn't grow. β
After two months, the melon and croissant are the first to bear fruit.
The melons grow quickly, and the melons that grow up are bigger than a man's two fists and exude a rich fragrance.
The croissant honey is not small, and it will be ripe in another ten days and half a month.
Not only did Liu and Liu Paner come to see it for several days every day, but people from Liujia Village often came to take a look.
Liu Paner was worried that someone would make trouble, so she immediately expressed her position to everyone.
If this thing grows well, she will keep the seeds this year and give them to the villagers for free next year.
