Chapter 430: Flying Dragon
Wei Lan held the seed and rushed to Grandma Gu, "Grandma, can you plant this too?" Brother Chao loves to eat! ”
Grandma Gu opened the paper bag and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's coriander!" But I haven't seen it in years. ”
Wei Lan sat on the side with her knees crossed, chatting with Grandma Gu casually, "Grandma knows?" ”
"What's not to know about this?" Grandma Gu smiled, her face was wrinkled, "The coriander has a spicy and warm fragrance, and it reaches the heart and spleen inside, and the limbs outside." When I was young, I always simmered the dragon broth at home, and I always sprinkled a handful when it was served, which was fragrant and replenished. ”
"Wyvern meat?" In an instant, Wei Lan seemed to be a three-year-old ignorant child, her buttocks moved, and she lay on Grandma Gu's knees, "What is flying dragon meat?" ”
Grandma Gu thought about it for a moment and explained, "It's the tree hazel chicken." Why can't you see it here, you have to go north to see it in the deep mountains. ”
Grandma Gu is old, and she can't remember many things clearly, but she only vaguely remembers that Ah Weng told her at that time, saying that it was a reward from a nobleman.
The flying dragon is priceless, delicious and nourishing, and it is a rare good thing, so Ah Weng told her to eat more.
Yesterday is different...... It's just that it's been so long, so don't mention it.
Grandma Gu sighed slightly, and then smiled kindly, "Coriander can be used as medicine and seasoning, we used to have people grow it, but later the big guys couldn't eat enough, and they planted grain on their own land, and naturally no one planted this coriander." ”
Grandma Gu said lightly, although there were only a few words, Wei Lan could still think of many things, Grandma Gu's life witnessed the decline of a big family from glory.
Mentioning these past events, she should feel uncomfortable, right?
Wei Lan's eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyebrows drooped, and her expression was wilted and blamed herself.
Grandma Gu has lived a long time, and she won't be able to see Wei Lan's careful thoughts, so she quickly changed the topic, "A few days ago, I was asking for seeds everywhere, but you were good enough to bring me such a bag directly...... Aren't you a roundworm in Grandma's belly? Do you know everything thoroughly? ”
"It's not a roundworm, it's a little padded jacket!" Wei Lan burst into tears and laughed, lying on Grandma Gu's knees and coquettishly, "Grandma has a long life, when Brother Chao and I are admitted to college, we will definitely let Grandma eat Flying Dragon Meat again!" ”
"Good, good!" Grandma Gu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Grandma must live a long life!" ”
After talking for a while, Grandma Gu had already picked the seeds and prepared to go to the ground.
Wei Lan followed behind, "Grandma, let me go to my brother?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work." Grandma Gu smiled: "When you fell asleep, you went to another mountain towards your brother, and it is estimated that you will have to wait for a while when you come back." ”
"Don't Mountain?" Wei Lan frowned, "I just went to sleep?" ”
"Not really." Grandma Gu rummaged in the small shed in the backyard, vacated an empty vegetable basket and found a sharp mouth, "He just can't be idle, the sun will be more prosperous in a few days, the team will be busy with spring ploughing, and it will be difficult to walk away when the time comes." ”
No wonder I didn't see anyone since I woke up.
"Hmm......" Wei Lan pursed her lips and whispered.
Heart: Where is the idleness? Every day is as busy as a spinning top, for fear of resting for a while.
"Then I'll be with Grandma!" Taking the basket from Grandma Gu, Wei Lan trotted ahead, turned around at the end, and smiled crookedly, "It's okay to pick some food and come back!" ”
Grandma Gu hurriedly stretched out her hand to beckon her back, "There is no one in the field to block the wind, add clothes, and add another clothes." ”
Wei Lan quickly went back to the room and put on an egg-yellow waist-cinching jacket.
Her skin is white, and wearing such a bright color makes her even more white and tender, and she has to pinch out the water.
Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment when she saw it, waved her hand and smiled: "Let's go!" ”
The fields were dotted with greenery, Wei Lan had good eyes, and when she walked, she saw one or two scattered small yellow flowers, which were dandelions.
Dandelion is rich in vitamins A and C and minerals, and can also clear heat and detoxify, the method is also simple, blanched and cold to eat.
It's just that there are too few in the field at this time.
Wei Lan thought for a while, then turned her head and asked, "Grandma, why are there any people digging wild vegetables here?" ”
"Why not? In a few days, Tian Ai, purslane, and dragon cabbage will all come out, and when the time comes, you will not be able to win by grabbing it. ”
"Huh?" Wei Lan was stunned, reacted and pouted in disappointment.
Although I didn't think about taking the opportunity to dig wild vegetables or anything, but it would be too exaggerated to grab anything!
Grandma Gu looked at her little expression, how could she not understand, "Don't worry about not being able to pick them, there are several kinds of wild vegetables, some of which are picked until autumn, no matter how fast the members are, they can't spare their hands when they are busy with spring ploughing." ”
At that time, if you still want to pick it, you can pick it anywhere.
The corners of Wei Lan's mouth went up, and she nodded happily.
"I heard that the kid from the Gu family came to Beijing to learn that Qing is good, I still don't believe it, how can I think it's true?"
Some members who were busy working in their own land raised their heads when they heard the movement, and saw Wei Lan and Grandma Gu on the ridge, looking at each other one by one and discussing in a low voice.
"Hey, you lonely and unheard-of person, everyone Gu Chao went to the big city to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he only came back today! That kid is afraid that he had the idea of Wei Zhiqing early on. ”
Li Xu was cutting a ditch in the vegetable field, and when he heard the chatter of the men in the nearby fields, he paused for a moment, spit into the palm of his hand and rubbed it open, picked up the shovel and continued to work.
What those people say is not unreasonable.
If Gu Chao is really simple-minded and upright, why did Wei Lan live in their house?
Why didn't you see anyone hanging out after you moved in?
I'm afraid it's not to guard against them.
The more he thought about it, the more he was reasonable, Li Xu exhaled a breath, and the ditch couldn't be cut, so he turned his head to look at the direction of the ridge, pursed his lips, picked up the shovel and went over there.
"Li Xu, Li Xu!"
"Huh?"
As soon as Li Xu walked out a few steps, someone shouted behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Li Jiandang.
"What's the matter?"
Li Jiandang stood at the head of the field and beckoned, shouting at the top of his voice, "The captain shouted for a meeting, and when you go, bring a bolt by the way, and I'm going to call someone else!" ”
After Li Jiandang finished speaking, he shouted at Grandma Gu, "Grandma Gu, where are the people of Gu Chao?" The captain has a meeting with someone else! ”
Nostalgia glanced at the girl running around in the Gu family's own field, Li Xu frowned, turned around and walked in the direction of the team.
Gu Chao went to another mountain, this must not be said.
Grandma Gu told Li Jiandang that Gu Chao went to the town to deliver eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The members of the club have three chickens at home, and they are reluctant to eat eggs, and they save every ten days and half a month. Send it to the supply and marketing cooperatives for some money, or sewing heads to supplement the family.
Li Jiandan's mother, Zhang Hongmei, is like this, so she didn't doubt it.
Gu Chaoren was not there, and he couldn't go to the town to find people back at this time, so he had to write them down first and report back to the captain for a while.
Having made up his mind, Li Jiandang hurriedly went to the back mountain to call people.
Grandma Gu squinted her eyes and watched Li Jiandang walk away, "Don't be a big deal...... Brother Chao doesn't know when he will come back, don't delay. ”
The small rape planted in the self-reserved land has tender white stems, dark green leaves, and green growth.
After frost and snow, the taste of the rape is more sweet, and Wei Lan likes to eat it very much.
She explained while pinching the leaves, "Didn't the captain say that young and strong laborers should be selected in the sunflower field a few years ago? Construction is about to start, and this meeting is probably about to be. ”
Seeing that Grandma Gu's face was worried and unabated, Wei Lan made persistent efforts and said: "Grandma, no matter what the final result of the discussion is, the captain will definitely tell Brother Chao, so you can relax!" ”
She had already pinched a handful of vegetable leaves, and seeing that there was enough to eat tonight, Wei Lan stopped and took the sharp-beaked hoe in the basket and started to work.
The Gu family's self-reserved land was the size of a palm, and it was divided into several pieces by Grandma Gu, and some miscellaneous were planted.
The radish was planted in autumn last year, just a small piece, eat a small one, and now there are only two old radishes with flower hearts left, which are kept for seeding.
And the radish field is vacant, and Wei Lan is using a sharp-beaked hoe to pull the soil lumps, just in time to grow vegetables for the new season.
Grandma Gu was worried, but when she saw Wei Lan's posture of picking up the soil indiscriminately, she didn't loosen the soil, and poured most of the hoe soil into her shoes.
"Hey! Ay! Grandma Gu hurriedly took the hoe and pushed Wei Lan to the side, "Blind toss, where can I use you?" Go over there and wait. ”
There are not many seeds, and they can be finished in half an hour.
Wei Lan looked at her shoes with clods of dirt, and realized that she had done something stupid.
It had snowed a while ago, and the sun had melted for several days, but now the ground was still wet, and the clods of soil that had been poured into the shoes were a little sloppy at first, and after getting used to the cold feeling, it was as if the dough had been flattened, and there was no feeling.
Wei Lan sat down next to the vegetable garden and took off her shoes to take a look.
Really!
The clods of earth were stepped into thin flakes and firmly adhered to the soles of their shoes, and under the white socks, yellow patches of similar size were fainted.
Wei Lan wanted to cry without tears, Grandma Gu was planting seeds, and inadvertently looked up at this side, angry and funny, "Okay, go back and soak in the water, rub it off, don't be bitter." ”
Wei Lan's face turned red.
She wasn't worried that the mud marks wouldn't be washed off.
Completely, it's completely because I wanted to help but didn't help, but made a joke and was annoyed.
The act of digging the soil ended in embarrassment, Wei Lan didn't want to mention it again, so he blushed and said "um", and sat next to him honestly and waited.
There are two handfuls of tomato seeds, because the seedlings must be raised first, and then moved to other places to be planted at intervals when the seedlings grow to six or seven centimeters.
Grandma Gu quickly sowed all the seeds and covered the soil.
Wei Lan thought that she still had to water, but Grandma Gu said that the soil was so humid that she didn't need to water it, and if it was a big day tomorrow, she would come over tomorrow afternoon and water it then.
In her own field, Grandma Gu only planted tomato seeds, and after the coriander seeds went home, she sprinkled coriander seeds next to each other in the palm-sized place where the shallots were planted in the backyard.
Wei Lan helped on the side, and more often than not, she made trouble, which made Grandma Gu cry and laugh, and drove her to the side again and again.
Wei Lan is also basically dead, she has always felt that she is talented in all aspects, such as cooking and making clothes......
Especially making clothes, it is completely a late learning, and after pondering, I got started, and I always made jokes like this.
Anyway, I didn't eat this mouthful, so I won't.
Wei Lan comforted herself in her heart, but her mood did not improve at all.
She went back to the room with her mouth shut, sat down at the table, and flipped through the math textbook.
Grandma Gu was afraid that Wei Lan would be angry with herself, so she was busy forgetting about the backyard, and when she passed by the window after washing her hands, she secretly glanced at it.
The glass windows were hazy, and the figures inside were slightly distorted, but it could also be seen that Wei Lan was reading carefully
Grandma Gu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the wrinkles on her face raised, and she smiled kindly.
For fear of disturbing Wei Lan, she deliberately took it lightly and went to the front yard to get busy.
Gu Sande came in the evening.
The brigade has 20 acres of land, and there are a total of 16 young and middle-aged strong laborers, and Gu Chao is one of them.
Gu Sande estimated that Gu Chao should have gone home at this point, and specially came over to inform the content of the meeting in the afternoon, who knew that as soon as the door of Gu's house opened, there were only three people in the hall, Wei Lan, Gu Grandma and Youlan, who were watching TV.
Gu Sande quietly glanced at the back kitchen, it was pitch black and there was no light, "Brother Chao hasn't come back yet?" ”
Wei Lan hesitated for a moment, although she knew that the relationship between the two families was not ordinary, she was not sure how to answer.
Grandma Gu came out in time to relieve the siege, and said to Gu Sande: "Brother Chao has a big idea, I'm afraid I changed my mind temporarily and went to the county, if I don't catch the car, I'm afraid it will be too late to get home."
Grandma Gu didn't say it explicitly, and Gu Sande was not stupid, although he didn't know that Gu Chao was partnering with someone to raise pigs in Beishan, but after reviewing the fact that the dynasty brought back a large amount of cloth from the sea market, he could guess it.
I'm afraid it's not a glorious and disciplined thing.
Gu Sande knew Grandma Gu's personality, since Gu Chao could make Grandma Gu nod, indicating that Gu Chao was 100% sure that nothing would happen to him, he immediately felt relieved, and mentioned the matter of the meeting for Wei Lan and Grandma Gu to tell.
After talking about important things, I watched TV at Gu's house for a while before leaving.
Until nine o'clock in the evening, Youlan had fallen asleep on the bamboo bed, Wei Lan brought a small quilt to cover her, and turned her head to look at Grandma Gu was also tired, yawning and obviously unable to hold on.
Wei Lan persuaded: "Grandma, go to sleep, I will leave the door for Brother Chao."
Grandma Gu is easy to get sleepy when she is old, and she is afraid that Wei Lan will be afraid of sitting alone, so when she returned to the room, she told for a long time, "You don't have to guard, take a chair against the door, and go back to the house to sleep." ”
"Got it, Grandma." Wei Lan promised Lisuo, and after Grandma Gu went back to the house and lay down, she quickly dropped the bolt of the door.
Afraid that Youlan would catch a cold in the sleeping hall, he went back to the house and took a sheet to put on the quilt, and carefully folded the corners of the quilt, Wei Lan pulled the lamp and turned back to the room.
After taking a nap in the afternoon, she didn't feel sleepy until now, so she was not in a hurry to sleep, opened the math textbook, and then continued to list various question types under the formula problems of the morning and afternoon sets of questions in the book.
