Qin Xi and Qin Jiang went to the mountains to fetch water with the large army in the village early in the morning, and Tang Ying and He Yuan also went together.

He Yuan of Qinjiang used a flat pole to carry water, while Qin Xi and Tang Ying carried bamboo tubes in a basket and came back with water.

Because the little water that I picked up every day is not enough at all, and there is nothing left to eat and drink, but the key is that it is so hot now, even if you can't take a bath, when you go to bed every night, you always need to wipe your body!

All the used water at home, don't worry about wasting, in the vegetable garden behind, Qin Xi sprinkled the cabbage seeds, which have grown five or six centimeters high, and in a few weeks, you can pinch and eat.

In addition, she also planted onions, ginger and garlic, especially ginger, which is always useful to ward off cold, and when there is a shortage of medicine, a bowl of ginger syrup is more effective than any medicine.

She also planted some peas, and when the time comes, whether it is to pinch pea tips as a vegetable to eat, or to wait for the pods to grow, pick pea pods to eat, it is a good choice.

That is, all the pumpkins are picked back, and the pumpkin vines are dried and used to make fires, so there is no need to worry about watering them, otherwise the little water left over from their bodies and washing dishes every day will not be able to raise any waves.

That bit of wastewater is now watering the vegetable garden every day, barely hanging on to the lives of those crops, and if they don't hang it, they are already very tenacious.

But there is one thing that is very worrying, the cabbage she planted has attracted a lot of insects, and every time she goes to see it, she has to catch insects for them, even so, the leaves of the cabbage sum are still gnawing and crumbling, and they are ruined by the insects.

Because of the strong smell, the onions, ginger and garlic are not liked by insects such as grasshoppers and grasshoppers, so the leaves are preserved.

The four of them followed the villagers, set off at five o'clock in the morning, and rushed back under the scorching sun at more than eleven o'clock at noon.

"Sister drink water." Qin Qing saw that the four of them were back, and hurriedly poured water for them.

Qin Xi is not used to drinking raw water, so it is all cold and white.

"Thank you." Qin Xi took the bowl and thanked him habitually.

In this regard, Qin Qing didn't say anything else, just pursed her lips and smiled, it was very bright and sunny, and it was very good-looking.

She was originally good-looking, but now she looks like she is still childish, but she just makes people feel good-looking, and she feels comfortable when she looks at it.

After pouring the water back into the tank, Tang Ying and He Yuan also carried a small half bucket of water and returned to Zhiqing.

Now that the two of them are getting clearer and clearer from the intellectuals, they already clearly feel the estrangement from each other, but they don't care about it.

Even if there are the remaining four people in the Zhiqing Point, the people's hearts are not even, the pair of brothers is a country, Chen Yue and Yuan Ping are another country, among them, the relationship between Xu Zhou and Yuan Ping is relatively good, and a little ambiguity is pervasive in the middle.

In short, the relationship between the four of them is complicated, but the only constant is that Chen Yue's situation is the most embarrassing.

Because Chen Yue is twenty-two years old, she is already very embarrassed at her age, in the countryside, and when others talk about her, the first sentence is an older single young woman.

Her previous good sister, Yun Qingwa, is more than a year old, and she is seriously backward.

Nowadays, everyone pays attention to early birth and early childbearing, and there are many girls in the village who marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, as long as they are over eighteen, in the eyes of most villagers, they are difficult old girls.

At this time, the vast majority of people have a natural attitude towards the fact that women should get married and have children when they reach the age, and Chen Yue is an "outlier" who is incompatible with them.

Those matchmakers are not kind to her, and the ones who introduce her are all widowers with children, or those second marriages who divorced because their ex-wives couldn't give birth to children, or those men with physical disabilities, in short, none of them can be seen, it is purely disgusting.

As soon as Chen Yue's temper came up, she drove away five or six batches of matchmakers in a row, and then, she became completely famous in Chenhui Village, the kind that stinks, even in the next few villages, her name is quite loud.

First of all, there were gossips, saying that Chen Yue wanted to eat swan meat, ugly, beautiful, so old, still dead, no one wanted it, and he couldn't get married.

The gossip spread, and some uneasy and well-meaning people began to spread rumors, or yellow rumors, why did she refuse to marry, it was the revival of the old love, and secretly got along with the married man, so she almost reported Liu Ming's name directly, in short, her yellow rumors were flying all over the village, if she hadn't been tough herself, she would really have been forced to death by these words.

In some words, it is a weapon sharper than a knife, which can cut people all over the body, and it also has the effect of cutting flesh with a blunt knife.

At noon, the three brothers and sisters simply ate a little, and then went back to the house to take a nap, Qin Xi used to open a little window ventilation, but now the doors and windows are closed tightly, and the guard is called a tight, not to give the pine caterpillar a chance.

Lying in bed for a lunch break can also reduce consumption, after all, at noon, I simply drank a bowl of porridge and ate a sweet potato.

The best and fullest meal for their family is the one in the morning, and in addition, they will also bring dry food for hunger halfway, such as sweet potato and potato cakes, simple and convenient are the first element.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Xi and Tang Ying went to the reservoir to dig wild vegetables.

The reservoir has been dry for a long time, but there are a lot of wild vegetables growing at the bottom, and people in the village go there every day to dig wild vegetables.

The more people go, the more competition there is, and the weather is too dry, the wild vegetables that grow behind are getting smaller and smaller, and it is more difficult to dig, so you need to be patient and dig there slowly.

In addition to the reservoir, there are many people in the forest, after all, the characteristics of pine caterpillars that lie dormant at night make many people go into the forest to find food.

Qin Xi and Tang Ying have not entered the forest since the outbreak of the pine caterpillar plague, and if they go farther, they can also find wild vegetables and grass roots, so why do they have to go into the forest.

In this regard, the two hit it off, in order to find wild vegetables, they passed through two villages as far as two, and it took more than two hours to go back and forth, but the result was also gratifying, and the two brought back a basket full of wild vegetables.

In addition, when I went to the deep mountains and forests to get water, on the way back, I saw wild vegetables, and the two of them would pick them easily, so the vegetables at home were not very short, and only when I was unlucky, I would go home to soak wild vegetables and cook them.

Now that the weather is hot and dry, the dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots, and dried mushrooms collected before can be stored until there is no vegetable in winter, so if it is not necessary, Qin Xi will not touch the dry goods at home.
