"Is the sun too dazzling?" Jin Xiaoye took off the straw hat on his head and buckled it on Li Qingzhi's head: "I'll go to the field first, you go slowly." ”

After saying that, she trotted away, and Li Qingzhi couldn't catch up at all.

Chapter 10: Houttuynia cordata

Jin Xiaoye left, but Li Damao and Li Ermao still listened to their mother's words, obediently followed Li Qingzhi's side, and looked at Li Qingzhi carefully.

In the past few days, Li Qingzhi has always told them stories, they like this father very much, and they secretly swear that they must take care of this father.

It's just that their dad is a little weak...... Other people's fathers can carry them around, but their fathers have to walk with crutches themselves.

Li Qing watched Jin Xiaoye go away, and his eyes fell on the vegetable garden in front of his house.

There are many varieties of cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers and loofahs and pumpkins in the vegetable garden, among which loofahs and cowpeas are planted next to the roots of the wall and grow to the roof.

Some of these vegetables are already edible, some vegetables are still inedible, and what can be eaten has basically been tasted by Li Qingzhi in the past few days.

Jin Xiaoye cooks by basically smashing brown rice and cooking it with vegetables.

She smashed the brown rice to cook it for a shorter time, after all, their family lacked firewood, and as for adding vegetables to it...... That's supposed to be to consume less food.

The taste of the food produced in this way is really not very good, but for Li Qingzhi, it is already the best delicacy.

Even...... Now when he saw the vegetables growing in the field, he wanted to rush up and nibble on them raw.

Using the golden finger requires energy, and in the last days, he can use the crystal nucleus of zombies to obtain energy, but in this era, there is no crystal nucleus containing energy, and he can only rely on himself.

And his source of energy is undoubtedly food.

Jin Xiaoye prepared a lot of food for him, after all, he ate all the food every time, and he looked at his appetite very good.

But that's still not enough for him.

So these days...... He was actually hungry all the time.

But he couldn't have eaten openly.

This family is very poor and still owes foreign debts, if he wants to eat with Jin Xiaoye, the others will have to go hungry!

He can't eat more vegetables in this field, after all, other people also have to eat them!

Their family has only a little land in total, and they have planted such a small amount of food, and they don't have enough to eat.

Li Qing swallowed his saliva and walked forward with his bamboo cane.

There is no bamboo in their house, but there is a small bamboo forest by the river behind Li Laogen's brother's house, and the bamboo used as a crutch is cut back by Li Laogen when he went to his brother's house.

Li Qingzhi has not been with Li Laogen for a long time in the past few days, but the memories of the original owner, occasional contact, and some words from other people have already let him know what kind of person Li Laogen is.

Li Laogen is a bit selfish to bully the soft and afraid of the hard, and he doesn't like to gamble, so he is not a good person.

Even Li Laogen was a little disgusted with him and felt that he was a burden.

But he didn't feel malice in Li Laogen, and sometimes Li Laogen would sympathize with him.

Because of this, he is not disgusted with Li Laogen.

Li Qingzhi walked forward slowly, and his eyes were green waters and green mountains, and the idyllic scenery.

Even though it had been several days since he had crossed over, when he saw all this, a heavy joy still rose from the bottom of his heart, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.

This world is really wonderful! It was so beautiful that he wanted to cry!

Step by step, Li Qingzhi walked forward slowly.

Li Damao and Li Ermao have short calves, but they can't stand Li Qingzhi's forward speed, they run forward from time to time, and then run back quickly.

The paddy field bought by the original owner was not far from the land he used to build the house, and even though Li Qingzhi walked very slowly, walking for about half an hour, he had already come to the edge of the ground.

Along the way, those people who came and went in the village would basically look at Li Qingzhi a few times, and every time Li Qingzhi saw them, he couldn't help laughing.

These are living people, living people!

In the last days, he was surrounded by zombies who wanted to eat him, and now he is surrounded by living people, which is really wonderful!

People in the village: "......" this Li Qingzhi is really a little wrong.

Is it a narrow escape from death, so happy?

The big guys were busy cutting rice, and no one paid attention to Li Qingzhi for a while.

Seeing his own land from afar, Li Qingzhi stopped.

He couldn't walk.

This is a physical immobility, but also a psychological immobility.

His legs were limp, and he had ...... What did he see? Houttuynia cordata!

On the edge of the ditch, there is a clump of Houttuynia cordata!

Most of the land in Miaoqian Village has owners and has planted things, but weeds will grow on the ditches and roadside ridges by the river.

This has been growing on the side of the ditch since Houttuynia cordata, and some of it has been trampled by people who come and go.

Li Qingzhi didn't like to eat this thing before the end of the world, although he tried such a strange food, he couldn't accept it.

But after the end times begin...... He ate.

Once, when he was hungry, he ate a lot, the kind that he gnawed raw with roots and leaves.

When the plant was not dead, he ate a lot of food, even poisonous food, after all, he had a golden finger. It's a pity that the environment got worse and worse, and there were no plants for him to gnaw.

Because he had eaten it, he recognized Houttuynia cordata.

It seems that the people in Miaoqian Village don't eat this thing, but this thing can really be eaten!

It's already the day of harvesting rice, and there is only a shallow layer of water in the ditch.

In the distance, some children are standing in the canal, touching the loaches or snails in the water, and occasionally catching small fish.

In this era, people are short of meat, and these children can also make a tooth sacrifice after catching small fish and shrimp and bringing them home.

Fish and shrimp have a fishy smell, but for these people who are always hungry, a little fishy smell is nothing, sprinkle a little salt and put a piece of ginger, and you can eat it directly after steaming.

Some families don't even let ginger go.

And one side of the water and soil to support the other side...... When the original owner first came to Miaoqian Village, Li Laogen caught some small crucian carp the size of two fingers for him to eat, and the original owner felt that it was all thorns and couldn't get out of his mouth at all, and even his throat was stuck by fish bones, but Li Laogen ate a fish in three or two clicks, and ate a plate in one go, not caring about fish bones at all.

People in the village eat steamed or boiled fish, and people in the city cook fish in a variety of ways, and the original owner even saw the restaurant marinate the small crucian carp and fry it in oil, and you can smell the fragrance from afar.

But Miaoqian Village ...... There are few restaurants that are willing to put oil in cooking.

Li Qingzhi withdrew his gaze from the children and sat down by the ditch.

"Dad, are you tired?" Li Damao asked, as for Li Ermao...... He couldn't wait to climb into the ditch, which was only a shallow layer of water.

In the summer, when it's hot, kids love to get into the water.

"yes, I'm a little tired." Li Qing insisted and began to dig the clump of houttuynia around him.

Li Damao glanced at Li Qingzhi and saw that Li Qingzhi didn't seem to have something, so he jumped into the ditch and started playing in the water.

The water was shallow, but there was mud underneath, and the two children's feet were trapped in the mud, and the water reached their thighs, and their pants were wet and covered with mud.

But they didn't care at all, the two children walked barefoot all the way, and they sat casually on the ground on weekdays, and they were not afraid of getting dirty at all.

Li Qingzhi didn't care, he loved cleanliness before the end of the world, but now...... He pulled a leaf of Houttuynia cordata and stuffed it into his mouth to eat.

Others didn't see it, but Li Damao and Li Ermao saw it, and Li Ermao couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is this delicious?" ”

Li Qingzhi thinks it's delicious, as long as it can be eaten, he thinks it's delicious.

His body desperately needed energy.

And this thing...... It's really much better than what he ate in the last days!

But Li Ermao shouldn't like to eat this......

Li Qing insisted: "It's not delicious. As he spoke, he ate some more leaves.

He wanted to eat the roots, which were high in calories, but he hadn't dug them out yet......

Li Ermao didn't believe what Li Qingzhi said, after all, Li Qingzhi ate this leaf, as if he was eating something delicious.

Many days have passed, Li Ermao has long forgotten that Li Qingzhi drank medicine with relish when he first woke up, and he saw that Li Qingzhi liked to eat this leaf, so he picked a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

There are some herbs that can be eaten, such as sour grass, which he often picks and eats.

Since his father has eaten this grass, he must be able to eat it.

It's just that...... As soon as he entered, Li Ermao's face changed.

Seeing Li Qingzhi eating grass was also a little greedy, but he still remembered what he had done before, so Li Damao, who didn't rush to eat grass, was happy.

Li Qingzhi: "......" feels that Da Mao is a little smarter than Ermao.

Thinking so, Li Qingzhi took another bite.

Then, Li Qingzhi heard someone shouting: "Jin Xiaoye, is your man's brain broken?" He's eating a stinky pig's nest! ”

Li Qing was stunned.

Jin Xiaoye is harvesting rice not far away.

They had a sickle in their house, which she bought when she had money.

And a few days ago, she borrowed a sickle by helping other people's families.

Today, she went to the field with Li Laogen, and threatened Li Laogen before cutting rice: "If you cut rice slower than me, I won't give you eggs tomorrow!" ”

If there is no food at home, I will give some good food to the people who work when the farm is busy.

When Jin Xiaoye was cooking before going out today, he added extra rice.

Tomorrow she plans to steam four more eggs, and she has two Li Laogen, but before that, Li Laogen has to work hard for him!

For a piece of land, Jin Xiaoye divided it, cut three-fifths of it himself, and let Li Laogen cut the remaining two-fifths, and then began to work.

Li Laogen is usually lazy when he can work, for example, Jin Xiaoye will come to the field from time to time to hoe and fertilize, and Li Laogen rarely comes.

But now there are eggs hanging in front...... Li Laogen did his work quickly.
