"Just now, I wanted to eat cabbage and radish, so I prayed to God, but I didn't expect it to grow in our yard." Ye Qingzhou pretended to be surprised and explained to the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law in front of him: "You go to the yard to see, there are many more." ”

When the couple heard this, they immediately dropped what they were holding, ran to the front of the house, and saw that the whole fence yard was full of cabbage and radishes.

Zhao Yonghai directly pulled out a radish from the ground, wiped off the soil on it, and took a big bite directly, the green and crisp red heart green radish instantly made everything in front of him real, "It's so sweet!" It's crispy! ”

Zhao Yonghai and Zhang Qingyun sighed, "Mother, you are really the lucky star of our family, and it is your profound blessing that makes vegetables grow in the barren and arid land!" ”

Ye Qingzhou raised his hand and made a silent gesture on his lips.

Then, whispering a chic in the ears of both of them; "Since both of you and your husband say that I am blessed, then it is better to take out all the seeds that I have at home, and I will try to see if I can grow something else."

"Okay, mother, I'll get it for you now." Zhang Qingyun moved out the few two packets of vegetable seeds and a liter of wheat seeds at home.

Ye Qingzhou looked at the grain on the ground that should belong to all the property of this small family, and only reached out and grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on the ground under his feet.

Pretending to pray, he said: "I hope that these seeds can blossom and bear fruit, so that our family can be hungry." ”

Ye Qingzhou said this, and Zhao Yonghai and Zhang Qingyun, the husband and wife beside her, also immediately clasped their hands together and prayed sincerely.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw that the land in front of them, which had been bare a moment ago, had begun to sprout fine shoots one after another.

Then, the shoots are quickly raised, and from wheat seedlings to full spikes, and then from tender green to golden yellow.

However, with the work of a cup of tea, the handful of wheat seeds that were sprinkled into the soil by Ye Qingzhou actually took root and sprouted directly in the early spring weather at this moment, and more wheat grew.

This made Zhao Yonghai and Zhang Qingyun, who witnessed the whole process, feel shocked and magical, as if they had seen a miracle, and immediately knelt on their knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Ye Qingzhou knew that such a thing could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences to the two of them, who had always received a relatively feudal and backward education, so he no longer bothered to make this effort.

Only after the two of them bowed down and kowtowed reverently before they spoke, "This should be the heavens moved by your filial piety, which is why a miracle has been descended." ”

"However, you all keep quiet about this matter for now." Ye Qingzhou pulled up the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law beside him, "Lest, if there are no miracles in the future, you will be mistaken for evil." ”

Ye Qingzhou said this, in addition to being afraid that the two of them would be locked up as monsters for study, but more because he was afraid that his golden finger would attract the covetousness of a greedy and powerful person.

"Good, good! Everything is up to my mother. Zhao Yonghai and Zhang Qingyun, who were still immersed in seeing miracles and having the shock of food, responded to Ye Qingzhou's words with joy.

"The rest of the grain and vegetables, you can quickly take them back tonight, put them in the cellar, and Yonghai will take some tomorrow morning and sell them in the market." After Ye Qingzhou finished arranging things for the two of them, he got up and turned around and walked to the back room, "I'll sleep for a while." ”

This body is too old, even if Ye Qingzhou wants to help, he is a little powerless.

It's better to rest in peace and recharge your energy.

When Ye Qingzhou slept peacefully and woke up again, the sky was already bright.

After a full night's rest, she felt that the skeletal muscles around her body were not as stiff and uncomfortable as they were yesterday.

"Mother, are you up?" When Zhang Qingyun listened to the movement and looked over, she immediately got up happily and brought out the food, "Come and eat." ”

In the past six months, their family has been short of food and clothing, but fortunately, the arrival of her mother-in-law Ye Qingzhou last night brought a whole cellar of radish and cabbage and half a bag of wheat to the family.

In this way, Zhang Qingyun, who is already filial, is even better to her mother-in-law Ye Qingzhou.

After Ye Qingzhou washed up briefly and ate a tasteless meal, the eldest son Zhao Yonghai had already carried the things of the half-snakeskin bag on his back and rushed back with excitement on his face.

"Mother, you are now the biggest lucky star in our family!" Zhao Yonghai leaned in front of the two, even if he deliberately lowered his voice, he was filled with indescribable joy and excitement, "Today, I took the radish and cabbage grown in our field to the market, and it was directly snapped up." ”

"There is also a housekeeper of a rich family, let me continue to send some to their house tomorrow morning." The drought of nearly a year has made the land of hundreds of miles in this vicinity not harvested in two seasons, and such delicate things as vegetables and fruits can only be eaten by the rich in the city.

Zhao Yonghai took out a handful of copper coins from the innermost pocket of the cotton coat and sent it to Ye Qingzhou with both hands, "Mother, here is the silver I exchanged for vegetables today, you can help us collect it." ”

This money, in the eyes of Zhao Yonghai and his wife, is a lot of money, saving a little money, enough for their family's daily expenses for two months.
