Chapter 12: The Recruiting Office is Coming
"I don't think the situation is quite right in the afternoon, your second brother was beaten again, what happened?" Xie Fanqun looked at Jiang Jingyun and asked worriedly.
Jiang Jingyun thought for a moment and decided to hide it from them for the time being.
So she explained in a flat tone: "My second brother was beaten only after he offended, but don't worry, he is fine now." ”
"That's good." Xie Fanqun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said to Jiang Jingyun: "You must not have eaten when you come back so late, sit down and eat." ”
There is a simple meal on the table, the rice is soup and paste, and there are two dishes, one is fried vegetables with lard residue, and the other is scrambled eggs.
The vegetables were planted in a vegetable field she had reclaimed in the backyard a few days ago, and she watered them with water from the spiritual field every day, and they grew quickly and well.
A piece of green is very gratifying.
"The pork you bought during the day, I saw that it was in good condition, so I refined the lard, and I can fry other vegetables in the future." Xie Fanqun said to her.
In addition to these, there is also a rare plate of scrambled eggs on the table, and the old man has a rare luxury tonight, probably because he is worried about her.
After all, she usually puts too much cooking oil, and he is worried that she will waste it.
Even if it is for the two children to eat well, at most they will boil an extra egg.
Jiang Jingyun looked at the still hot meals on the table, and instantly felt a little happy in her heart.
Either way, at least they're doing a much better life now than they were before.
It's just that seeing that these meals haven't been touched much, she looked at them with a strange expression and asked, "Wait, you won't wait for me to eat until now, right?" ”
Seeing that the youngest of the two children has begun to snort frequently.
As for the big one, it looks very reluctant.
Xie Fanqun heard this and replied: "They ate the buns you bought from the town earlier, and they are not particularly hungry, so I will let them wait first." ”
"Now we can eat." When Xie Feng heard this, his tone was a little impatient.
Xie Fanqun glanced at him reproachfully.
And Jiang Jingyun felt a little funny and said, "Mmmm, you guys eat quickly." ”
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of pork lard residue with chopsticks and put it in Xie Liu's bowl.
The salty, oily lard residue is eaten with gnocchi soup, and the taste is naturally very good.
"Woo that's delicious." Xie Liu muttered as he ate.
Jiang Jingyun touched her head and chuckled, "You eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
On the side, Xie Feng quietly picked up the rice, looking at this scene, his eyes disdainfully snorted.
Jiang Jingyun paused because of his cold snort, and then put a piece of lard residue into his bowl.
Xie Feng glared at her with some disgust: "I don't need you to pick up vegetables for me!" ”
"Xie Feng!" Xie Fanqun finally couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him.
Xie Feng simply shook off his chopsticks and got up to leave, not eating.
Jiang Jingyun sighed helplessly when she saw this, it seems that this child's prejudice against herself is really not ordinary.
"Okay, don't be angry, old man, child, it's all so hard to coax." Jiang Jingyun persuaded Xie Fanqun.
Otherwise, she was afraid that the old man would be angry again.
As for Xie Feng, thinking of the development line of this child's later stage, Jiang Jingyun smiled bitterly.
This kid will have to rebel in the future.
After dinner, Jiang Jingyun asked Xie Liu to go to sleep as well, and then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the room to rest.
The next morning, she got up early in the morning and went up the mountain.
Although she came to collect medicine this time, she didn't sell it.
Jiang Jingyun planned to find out if there was anything that could be used to make some poisons with greater lethality, in order to defend herself later.
After all, the threat she faced this time was not an ordinary person like Xie Erniu and his daughter-in-law.
She had to find a way to protect herself.
"Found it!" Jiang Jingyun suddenly saw a mountain nest with brightly colored plants.
Excited, she carefully dug it out and put it in her back basket.
Fortunately, it took Jiang Jingyun less than an hour to find all the herbs she needed, and then she went down the mountain alone.
On the way down the mountain, I picked a lot of edible wild vegetables along the way, and planned to go back to make wild vegetable dumplings to eat.
After arriving home, Jiang Jingyun first put the wild vegetables in the kitchen, and then went to concentrate on handling the poisonous weeds she picked.
It took a busy morning to finally complete the production.
Jiang Jingyun looked at the small bottle of poison that was put into a small porcelain bottle and hooked her lips slightly, and now she finally felt a sense of security in her heart.
After the toxins in the red fire grass are released, as long as a person gets on it, it will be like a fire all over the body.
The pain is unbearable, life is worse than death.
If left untreated for a long time, people will die of pain.
Of course, there is an antidote to this poison, and if it is not a last resort, Jiang Jingyun does not want to kill people.
"Mother, what are you doing here? Is it delicious? Xie Liu didn't know when he came over.
Then he reached for the vial.
"Don't touch it!" Jiang Jingyun was frightened by her sudden move, and instantly lost her mind.
Then she saw that tears were rolling in Xie Liu's eyes, and she looked very aggrieved after being frightened, so she had no choice but to look at her and say softly: "This thing is very dangerous, my mother didn't let you touch it because she was afraid that you would be hurt, understand?" ”
As she spoke, she rubbed Xie Liu's hair, with a cautious attitude.
In the corner, Xie Feng, who was originally highly focused on Jiang Jingyun's fierce roar, stopped because of Jiang Jingyun's words later.
I thought that this woman finally couldn't pretend anymore, but it seems that she is not.
Xie Feng instantly felt a little bored.
Then he looked at the medicine bottle in Jiang Jingyun's hand, it was just a small bottle, what danger could it be?
Jiang Jingyun was so focused on comforting Xie Liu who was frightened by her, and she didn't notice Xie Feng in the corner at all.
After that, she put the medicine bottle on her body, and then took Xie Liu's hand and walked towards the kitchen: "It's noon, shall we eat wild vegetable dumplings today?" ”
"Okay~" Xie Liu had been coaxed at this time and finally stopped crying, and replied in a milky voice.
Saying that, one big and one small entered the kitchen, Jiang Jingyun began to prepare to make wild vegetable dumplings, first picked and washed the wild vegetables, then boiled water and chopped them, and then went to mix with flour, the refined flour she bought last time had not been used up, so she simply poured it in and stirred it together.
Then add an appropriate amount of water and salt to taste, then knead into a ball and put it in a pot to steam.
It's very simple, but it's also delicious.
When it was ready, it was almost time for lunch.
Jiang Jingyun brought the wild vegetable dumplings and some porridge to the hall together, and then went to call people: "Xie Feng Xie Liu, go and call your grandfather to eat." ”
"Hey, here we are." Xie Fanqun happened to come back from cutting bamboo sticks outside, he put the bamboo sticks in the water to soak, and then planned to go into the house to eat.
It's just that as soon as he looked up, he saw two men standing at the gate of the courtyard, who were the people from the recruitment office.
