CHAPTER XVII

In February and March, the fields quietly change into golden clothes, and pieces of rape flowers bloom one after another, forming a sea of golden flowers, shining like gold, like a natural oil painting, beautiful.

With the message of spring, bees and butterflies flutter among the flowers, and if she has a pair of mobile phones, she can record the most beautiful moments with Cher, but in this era, there is a big brother at most. Whoever has a black-and-white TV and a big brother can show off for days.

The sun was shining and the breeze was just right.

In the field, a mother and daughter shuttled between the fields, looking back and smiling, and the flower beauties were more beautiful.

Whenever the breeze blows, there are golden waves one after another, and under the sunshine, each cauliflower meets the sun.

In the vegetable fields, a few dog barks can occasionally be heard.

Mei Sanniang also picked a few and inserted them in the bottle, adding a bit of atmosphere to this lifeless house.

After doing this, she turned to look at Xu Erzhu, who was teasing the return to the hall, "Brother Erzhu, didn't you make trouble when you returned to the hall today?" ”

"It's not noisy, I'm going to drink the fragrance of sleep!"

It's a bit unexpected to return to the church and not make trouble, usually Xu Erzhu is either pulling pants or hungry all the time when he takes it, a big man has never raised a baby, and he is clumsy when he does things.

Today's return to the church is not noisy or noisy, Mei Sanniang is naturally surprised.

"Your mother didn't nag, did she?" Mei Sanniang picked up the basket and shovel and looked at Xu Erzhu, her mouth curled like a little woman.

"Nope."

Xu Erzhu's answer was weak, Bacheng was said, men want face, not to mention in front of Mei Sanniang.

"Dead ducks have hard mouths."

"Needless to say, your mother must have said you."

"You know... My mother's personality is like that, and Sanniang is used to seeing it. ”

Mei Sanniang sighed, "Bacheng said that you are a big man who runs to a widow's house every day, and you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"I didn't think about marrying someone else."

Xu Erzhu spoke straight, said faster, and blurted out directly, Mei Sanniang was stunned after hearing this, but fortunately, she didn't take it seriously for a while.

"Then you can still be single, nonsense."

"Even if you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, it is impossible for your mother to agree, who will continue the incense for your Xu family."

"I see, Liu Ju next door is not bad, and he is still a teacher."

The teachers and doctors in their village are the most famous, and if they want to marry a teacher, how high is the demand.

Xu Erzhu didn't think about it, he shook his head, "Sanniang, don't tease me!" My mother says every day that I'm enough, and you still come! ”

"Liu Ju, don't think about it!"

Mei Sanniang looked at Xu Erzhu with a smile and teased: "It seems that your kid is still a little interesting to Liu Ju?" ”

"If someone isn't a teacher, don't you like it?"

Xu Erzhu didn't speak, but Mei Sanniang had already decided in her heart.

"I'll go to the mountains to dig some sand cucumbers, and by the way, dig up some wild vegetables."

The work was originally done by men, but unfortunately there were no strong men in Mei Sanniang's family.

"Sanniang, shall I come with you?"

Mei Sanniang shook her head, "If you go with me, if someone sees you, won't you say that I will take your things?" ”

"Sanniang, what you said! Okay, I won't go to you, I'll take care of Guitang and Xue'er at home, just wait for you to come back, if it's time to cook, I have to eat once. ”

I have eaten the mushroom soup boiled by Sanniang before, and I still miss it, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Just have fun, Cher will give your uncle a little milk."

After giving the instructions, Mei Sanniang walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the mountain, still holding a small basket and a shovel in her hand.

You have to come back before dark, those sand cucumbers like to grow in dense grass, mixed with some wild grasses, it is not easy to distinguish.

Fortunately, she had taken experimental classes in school before, and she had identified many plants, so she naturally remembered what this sand cucumber looked like, and she found one after walking into the mountains for a while.

Having the first strain is a good start, because there must be more around here.

In the process of looking for sand cucumbers, I also dug up some other wild vegetables, and counted Qingming grass the most, because the roadside is full of Qingming grass, and now the Qingming grass in this world is the most tender.

The whole plant is grayish-white and light-colored, and the two halves of the leaves are covered with white fluff, like a layer of snowflakes.

She picked the most tender part of this Qingming grass and put it in a basket to pick a handful.

In addition to Qingming grass, there are other wild vegetables.

Like plantain, the leaves are oval, and they like to grow in the field, as well as lantern flowers, which can be used to scrambled eggs.

At dusk, she picked almost the same.

She lifted the basket and was about to walk back, when a gray rabbit appeared not far away, she quickly put down the basket in her hand, and looked at the rabbit with her eyes.

If you can catch a rabbit, you can eat rabbit meat.

It's a pity that she only made a move, and the rabbit was very clever, moved his ears, and turned around and ran into another bush.

The hares on this mountain are as nimble as pheasants, and it is not easy to catch them.

In this mountain, there are many pheasants and rabbits, and sometimes even magpies, and they say that seeing magpies will bring good luck, and she believes that life will get better and better.

She carried her basket down the hill and sometimes saw eagles soaring in the sky, streaking across the sky and swimming in the blue sky.

Along with the clear spring flowing down from the ravine, many fish are jumping in the water, and sometimes you can see a few small crabs and lobsters.

On a whim, she actually hit the idea of fishing.

Although the fish in this ravine is small, even the smallest fish is meat.

Mei Sanniang rolled up her sleeves, stepped on the two rocks, rolled up her trousers again, and stared intently into the ditch, she could see these fish swimming in the water, but she had to be quick and ruthless with her hands.

She tried it with her hands first, but it was empty, and the cold water hit her hands, not how cool it was, but it was very cold.

She couldn't catch a fish, but a crab could always catch it, but unfortunately the crab stayed in the crab hole, and only quietly poked out a head and tentacles.

As soon as the hand tried to reach in, the crab was very responsive and immediately retracted into the hole, and if it wanted to dig it out with its hand, it had to hollow out all the dirt around it, and it also had to avoid being caught by the crab's claws.

It's really impossible to eat fish, can't eat crabs, and crabs can still walk sideways, Mei Sanniang was anxious, and she poured the wild vegetables in the basket aside.

Then she used the basket's leaky function to scoop up the small fish in an instant, and the fish seemed to have fallen into the bamboo basket before it could react.

Xiaoyu desperately slapped and jumped in the bamboo basket, but he could not escape Mei Sanniang's clutches.

"That's not enough for a little shrimp to stuff your teeth!"

Mei Sanniang still wanted to catch a little crab, but this crab kept avoiding her, and the small crab had no meat, all of them were shells, and they didn't taste energetic.

She can only catch a little shrimp and crayfish, and take these small shrimp and crayfish home to stew a pot of hot fresh soup.

After being caught for most of the day, it can be regarded as a slap in the face.

Some of the little fish had even burped their white skins, and she put all the wild vegetables in the basket and returned with them full of wild vegetables and small fish.

During the time when she went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, someone at the entrance of the village talked about milk cubes.

It's really unfortunate to say that when Zhang Xiaoyan passed by Uncle Li's house, she happened to see Uncle Li eating milk cubes, she walked up curiously, thinking about when this Uncle Li would be able to buy such a good thing.

Uncle Li is a good person, and he handed Zhang Xiaoyan a milk cube.

Said that this thing was not easy to come by, let her taste it too.

Zhang Xiaoyan was dismissive, but she tasted it driven by curiosity, and sure enough, the taste was a little unusual.

But she could only pretend to be unpalatable, and looked at Uncle Li with disdain, "Old man Li, I'm afraid you didn't buy the wrong thing, this thing tastes sour?" Has it been put for a long time? If you don't want to eat it, throw it away, and then you will eat it and your stomach will be ruined! ”

Old man Li didn't believe it, but he tasted it himself, and the taste was still the same as before.

"Did you eat anything else? Taste the milk nuggets differently? ”

Zhang Xiaoyan snorted and asked, "You have been buying this milk for a long time, right?" It's really unkind for you to give me this unwanted thing to eat! ”

Zhang Xiaoyan pretended to throw away the milk cube, and left when she had a head, and only after walking away did she take out the milk cube and taste it carefully.

She looked at this milk lump, and suddenly remembered that she had heard the sheep cry at Old Man Li's house just now, but when she thought about it carefully, where did Old Man Li's family get the sheep?

Zhang Xiaoyan thought about it, it should be that she had a delusion.

On the way back, she slowly tasted the milk cubes, and the taste was really different, and she wanted to eat another piece after eating.

After eating a piece, the whole person is in a much better mood.

It's just that she can't pull it off, and she's embarrassed to ask what the old man here is made of.

As she was slowly walking back, several women stopped her.

"Zhang Xiaoyan! Where are you going? It doesn't seem like you're in this direction, is it? ”

Zhang Xiaoyan glanced at the other party and said, "Don't I have two homes?" Why do you need to care which one I go to? ”

The woman who stepped forward to ask smiled happily, "Yes, but it's not good that people who marry out always run to their parents' homes, right?" ”

"Could it be that you have something wrong with Wang Ma?"

"There's something wrong with you! Sling the bull! I think you're idle and have nothing to do! Zhang Xiaoyan scolded and scolded.

The others were also confused, just talking casually, but they didn't expect this Zhang Xiaoyan to be so excited, it seems that something should be wrong.

"Huh? Zhang Xiaoyan: What are you holding in your hand? ”

Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the half uneaten milk cube in her hand, and said indifferently: "Eat." ”

At this moment, one of the women recognized that this was not the milk cube that Mei Sanniang was serving at noon.

"Zhang Xiaoyan, you won't buy this thing from Mei Sanniang? You dare to eat what she sells, just in case it is poisoned? I don't know when I'm going to burp, and I don't know how I'm going to die. ”

Zhang Xiaoyan was taken aback and hurriedly threw away the milk cube in her hand.

"You guys are talking nonsense, how could this be Mei Sanniang's doing!"

"You've seen it?"
