Chapter 184 I can see you

When I heard that the orange tree I bought was deceived and that it bore not oranges but a fruit whose skin could be used as medicine, the tea room was so quiet that I could hear a needle drop.

It's like walking on cotton and it's unreal.

Then I heard that the snow-white stewed pork ribs at noon was also a kind of medicinal material, and I could still hear the needle drop in the tea room.

This time it was as unreal as stepping on clouds.

"Weird, how much did we eat before?"

"Isn't it more expensive than ribs?"

Hu Mu Butcher Hu’s first reaction was that she felt sorry for the yam she had eaten.

Yes, yam is delicious, but no matter how delicious it is, it is not as delicious as meat. If it is more expensive than meat, no, even if it is almost the same as meat, it is still a loss.

There are so many vegetables in the garden, and I can’t eat any of them.

Fan Jin reassured: "There is nothing we can do about what we ate in our stomachs in the past. If the Ding family and his wife hadn't come here, we wouldn't have known."

Only then did everyone turn their attention to the Ding family.

"The Ding family is still good, otherwise they would be cut down as weeds and eaten as weeds and vegetables."

"The more you know, the better. No wonder the Ding family can feed a large family without farming. With this ability, they will never starve to death no matter where they are."

"Not only can I not starve to death, but I can also live very well!"

"Maybe there are other mountains too..."

Shui Qing and Fan Jin were the only ones present who knew it well. Even if there were other places, they wouldn't be as numerous as those in Back Mountain.

There is no comparison between the amount in the wild and the amount grown on a large scale.

Especially yams. People in Shanshui Village have at least dug Polygonum multiflorum, but they have never heard of yams. All the food they eat at home is bought from the mall, and the follow-up is completely fake.

Thinking of cheating, Shui Qing announced: "Only your father can find yams, and I guess there aren't many in the mountains behind him. From now on, he will be responsible for digging yams and collecting yam seeds. We will try to see if we can grow them ourselves like potatoes in the field."

The two of you are responsible for mowing the large rivers and lakes. Xinghui Zhaodi and you two are responsible for feeding the livestock at home. The rest of the people all go up the mountain to cut Polygonum multiflorum. "

Cuttings of Polygonum multiflorum are important, as are the chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, sheep, and pigs at home. They provide all the meat and eggs for the whole family.

In the past, she only had to be responsible for cooking, but this time she had to go up the mountain for a while, otherwise where would Fan Jin's 'dig' yam come from, and the yam seeds would have to be produced by her.

Fan Jin also thought of this and just said: "Just come here in the morning and afternoon and take the yam seeds home in advance and collect them."

The children heard this and rushed to do the job to save water and make another trip.

Shui Qing looked at Fan Jin, asking what to say?

Fan Jin's fair face was stained with a light red color, which spread all the way to his ears. He pursed his lips and whispered: "Come here, I can see you."

Shui Qing choked and looked at Fan Jin with disbelief. There was a room full of people, old and young, he really dared to say that!

As soon as these words came out, the noisy children immediately became as quiet as chickens.

Hu Wenhua's eyes widened, brother-in-law, are you so brave?

Butcher Hu coughed uncomfortably, picked up the tea on the high table and took a big sip.

Hu's mother was most satisfied. Her son-in-law was not only caring, but also extremely clingy to Qing'er.

The two of them had previously felt sorry for their daughter because she had to cook and work hard in the mountains, but they thought that women from farmers' families did not work in the fields like men, but were also responsible for feeding and washing clothes for the whole family.

The two of them couldn't speak, but when they saw that their son-in-law assigned a very important and extremely light job to Qing'er, they immediately beamed.

This is good, Qing'er did the work but it seemed like she didn't do it.

The most important thing is harmony between husband and wife, which is what parents want to see most.

The atmosphere in the tea room was strange and silent, and there was a sense of embarrassment in the silence, and then everyone came out with red faces.

The floodwaters in Shanshui Village have not receded yet. No one in the entire village has gone out, and no one from outside can come in.

There are many mushrooms after the rain. The people in the village built new houses many years ago. After the heavy rain, except for Fan Damu and Zhang Tuzi, who wanted to build thatched houses, the other houses have new houses with tile roofs. They do not leak and do not need to be repaired.

In addition to being well prepared, firewood, rice, and salt were all available after the heavy rain. The fields were full of water and there was no way to go outside. All the free time was used to pick mushrooms.

Mushrooms that can be exchanged for pork and eggs.

When I have something to do, I feel like my days are going by so fast.

Shuiqing's family is also working non-stop. They have to take advantage of the busy people in the village to finish the work in the back mountain.

Otherwise, when there are no more mushrooms to pick up later, many people will come over to chat, and it will be inconvenient to go out to work.

Ding Heli and Qin Yilin come here every day. Now they only have to deal with yam tablets. There is not much work and they are not tiring. Ding Heli and Qin Yilin are in a good mood all day long.

By the way, I was worried that Jiajia would be alone at home, so I brought Ding Jiajia over.

After breakfast, we came over early and looked forward to lunch. After lunch, we looked forward to dinner. The family was obviously a lot more mellow.

Looking at the batches of dried yam sliced ​​and dried, Shuiqing looked at them and saw that they were all filled with white money, and they were all full of enthusiasm.

Mother Hu was surprised to find that her son's appetite had improved a lot during this period. He ate an extra bowl of rice every meal and was in an even better mood. Even when he was eating white rice, he would grin from time to time.

Mother Hu was a little worried. If she could eat so much, would she still grow taller?

But, if it continues to grow, wouldn’t it be more difficult to get married...

Nandu Baifu

Mrs. Bai felt panicked as she listened to the chaotic noise outside.

She shouldn't have rushed home as soon as the rain stopped!

She ordered the maidservant in front of her: "Go, call the young lady, is the noise outside caused by refugees on the street?"

The maidservant ran to call Li Huyu quickly.

The old nanny who served beside her smiled and comforted: "Old lady, you are worrying too much. Our Bai family has many houses. How can the noise from the street come in?"

Old lady Bai was even more flustered.

If it wasn't the noise from the street, then refugees broke in!

I heard that the Wu family on the next street was looted by refugees a few days ago!

The loss of money is fine, but I heard that the old lady of that family was so distressed that she tried to stop the refugees from getting their money that she got her head smashed. Her face was covered with blood and she was lying on the bed breathing more than breathing out;

The master and his wife were even knocked unconscious, and the reputation of the daughter waiting to be married was also ruined...

Li Huyu strode in with a tight suit and a sharp sword hanging on his waist.

In the past, this outfit would have been looked down upon and frowned upon by Old Lady Bai, but now she felt relieved.

"Mother, I thought about the recent looting of many families, so I asked my parents to move in with my fellow apprentices and brothers, and trained the servants of our Bai family. Did it bother you?" Li Huyu asked with a bow.

Old Lady Bai was about to ask why she let her in-laws move in, but then she noticed that her daughter-in-law used the phrase "many families were looted" and asked in shock, "Besides the Wu family, were there other families robbed by refugees? These refugees are too lawless! What are the government officials doing?"
