I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 34 The Toad

An's came this time and brought some tea, so she finally didn't need to drink boiled water.

People in rural areas do not pay much attention to tea making in the countryside. Put the tea leaves in a bowl and pour boiling water on it.

In Jiang Zhi's memory, people in the city need to add a lot of auxiliary ingredients to make tea, but most of them grind the tea into powder.

For this, Jiang Zhi expressed her disapproval.

She doesn't have the habit of drinking tea, and because her family is poor, she didn't buy a single tea leaf.It would be great if there was milk, wouldn't milk tea be made?

An's cooking was really delicious as he had heard, and Jiang Zhi admired it fiercely.

While cooking, An's little maid was not idle, and went to help in the fields.

"Mother, I have something for you." With her hands in her sleeves, Ye Heng Xiaowa trotted to the kitchen, showing a mysterious expression at Jiang Zhi.

"Oh? What is it?" It was the first time Jiang Zhi received a gift from such a small doll, and she felt great curiosity.

What can a child do?

Ye Heng said in a milky voice, "Mother, hold out your hand."

"Okay." Jiang Zhi spread out her palms.

Ye Heng took out a green ball from his sleeve in a mysterious way, and awkwardly put it into Jiang Zhi's palm.

"Hehehe, my baby." Xiaowa Yeheng said arrogantly.

An's also came over to take a look, she was very curious about what the eldest nephew gave his mother.

Jiang Zhi opened the dumpling wrapped in leaves and took a closer look: "..."

Good guy, there is a toad lying in the leaves of this mulberry tree—one of the five poisons.

Jiang Zhi pinched the toad through the leaves, swallowed it, and patted her son Ye Heng's little shoulder, as if she had a lot to say, but in the end the thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Baby, put it here for episode five." Poison."

"Ah, mother, what are the five poisons?" When Ye Heng heard this word for the first time, he couldn't understand it. Could it be that mother is not happy to receive this?Then next time I have to find something better to make my mother happy.

Ye Heng set a small goal for himself.

When he was catching little bugs, he saw yellow fruit growing on a tree by the side of the road, my mother would definitely like it.

"It's nothing, how did you catch this thing?" Jiang Zhi felt that this child was a tiger when he was young, last time it was Zhuyeqing, this time it was a toad, don't bring a centipede back next time.

These things are very dangerous.

Although Jiang Zhi knew that the thing in her hand was a toad, but it was given to her by the child with great anticipation, so she didn't throw it out, and planned to cover it with a bamboo tube later.

"It's right there." Ye Heng Xiaowa pointed to a field outside the yard.

Jiang Zhi nodded, and then coaxed: "Our guabao is very powerful, but mother wants to tell guabao that some things are poisonous, and if you touch them with your hands, you will get hurt. Mother is most afraid of seeing the injured guabao Mother will be worried, you know?"

"Huh?" Ye Heng pouted.

"It's like this toad, baby, tell mother, did you touch it with your hands when you caught it?"

Ye Heng shook his head and grinned, "I'll cover it with a leaf and catch it."

"Are you sure you didn't poke it with your hand?" Jiang Zhi reconfirmed.

"No."

The moment An saw the toad, he found a wooden basin and scooped up water.

"Little sister, wash your hands to be safe."

"Sister-in-law is very right." Jiang Zhi wrapped the toad, pressed it with a stick, and then took Ye Heng to wash her hands three times, and checked again. There was no skin on her hands or face. Just let him go if there is any problem.

"Baby, next time you want to catch something, you must make sure it won't hurt you."

"Okay." Ye Heng obediently responded.

The child has a lot of forgetfulness, but after a while, Ye Heng forgot what he gave Jiang Zhi just now.

Jiang Zhi handed Ye Heng a thin bamboo stick and asked him to draw on the sand table in the yard.

Not long ago, she made some educational games for children, including the sand table in the yard. She went to the river to wash the sand in it, and she spent a lot of time thinking about it.

"Thank you sister-in-law just now." Seeing Ye Heng playing with the sand with great interest, Jiang Zhi had time to thank An Shi.

An Shi was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly said: "My family, why do you want to thank me? It's hard to beat me."

"No, no, sister-in-law." Jiang Zhi waved her hand.

After finishing the work, the two looked at each other and smiled.

An Shi turned her head away and smiled slightly. It seems that the younger sister's attitude towards her has changed after her brother-in-law passed away.

The two of them finished cooking, Jiang Zhi carried the rice milk, and An Shi walked along the path in the field with Ye Heng in his arms.

Along the way, I met many farmers wearing straw hats in the fields who were transplanting rice seedlings.

The villagers knew exactly who was in the village, and the sudden appearance of a woman in an apricot-yellow skirt seemed fresh to them.

"Sister Jiang, you are here to deliver milk, is this next to you?"

An old man in the nearby field swung his hands in the water, then put his hands on his hips, his eyes were hard to open because of the scorching sun.

"Uncle Xu, this is my natal sister-in-law." Jiang Zhi stopped and said to Uncle Xu.Uncle Xu is of the same generation as Uncle Ye. His family grows medicinal herbs, and he also farms for a living.

"That's great, Miss Jiang is so lucky." Uncle Xu gave a thumbs up.

An Shi smiled at Uncle Xu, and then continued to walk forward. Jiang Zhi followed with rice milk.

Although Da Lang left suddenly, but at first glance, Younger Sister Jiang was able to stand up for the family, and her natal family still cared about her so much, she is really a blessed person, Xu Erbo looked at Jiang Zhi's back and showed a simple smile.

Jiang Yu and Ye Erlang worked hard and planted more than half an acre of field in the middle of the morning.

"Uncle, little uncle, little aunt~" Ye Heng shouted at the top of his voice.

Ye Xiaomei was pulling the weeds on the ridge of the field, Jiang Yu and Ye Erlang stopped their work and walked towards the shore.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law of the Jiang family." Ye Xiaomei said sweetly.

"Hey, come and drink some rice milk." Jiang Zhi poured a bowl of rice milk for Ye Xiaomei and handed it in front of her. Ye Xiaomei was holding the bowl and drinking the rice milk, smiling shyly at An Shi, who also smiled back.

Everything is unspoken.

They are all familiar with each other subtly.

After drinking the oatmeal and eating some cakes brought by An Shi, Jiang Yu and Erlang started planting rice seedlings again.

An Shi took the children by the side, Jiang Zhi, Ye Xiaomei and the maid pulled weeds together, and they didn't go home until [-]:[-] noon.

Before reaching the door of the house, Jiang Zhi saw a familiar figure looking around.

"Ms. Jiang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." It turned out to be Mrs. Li from the Ye family who had been with Mrs. Liang several times before. She was holding a small bamboo basket with a small pumpkin and some yellow fruits in it.

"Ah, you have guests at your house today. It's not a coincidence that I came here." Mrs. Li was surprised, and the woman who followed Jiang Zhi didn't come from a vulgar farm family like theirs.

I didn't expect Jiang Zhi to have such rich relatives.

Couldn't it be the same status as the two traveling scholars from last time, right?
"This is my natal sister-in-law, and that is my elder brother. What's the matter, Mrs. Li?"

After Jiang Zhi's reminder, Li Shi came to his senses: "Look at me, look at my memory, my pumpkin is ripe, I'll send you some, thank you for your bad breath for me last time, and this pipa, It was planted by my mother-in-law and father-in-law when she married in the yard of my house, and it tastes very sweet."
