Chapter 16 Keep a low profile
"We also have a vegetable garden!"

"It's finally finished!"

Zhao Lixiang was also happy beside him: "Sister, Dad, let's grow vegetables quickly, shall we? I want to pick leaves and feed them to the chickens!"

Zhao Lin: "Yes, yes, I want to too!" He thought for a while and said, "I can also help grow vegetables."

Zhao Lixiang: "I can do it too!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Liya rubbed Zhao Lixiang's little head, the two little siblings were really having fun, when she and Aunt Eleven went into the house for a tea break, the two little guys actually slipped out of the yard.Standing up not as tall as the hoe, she wanted to dig the ground with the hoe, but almost fell to the ground, causing her and Aunt Li to come out and laugh and cry.

Zhao Liya smiled and asked Aunt Li Shishi: "Aunt Shishi, what kind of vegetables are suitable for this season?"

Aunt Li Shiyi really wants to say that it is not suitable for sowing seeds, and I am afraid that if they are planted, they will not grow well.

She thought for a while, "How about planting some eggplants, beans, cucumbers, peppers, and corn? Leeks and shallots are fine!"

Zhao Liya nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's try it. I also want to build a shelf in the corner and plant some pumpkins, wax gourds, and loofahs."

Aunt Li Shiyi: "Hey, this is not bad!"

Hu Ling: "Tomorrow I will chop wood and bamboo to build a scaffolding."

Zhao Liya hurriedly said: "Don't worry, brother, it will take a while for the melon seedlings to grow. Let's plant other seeds first, and I will go up the mountain with you in two days. Wild bamboo shoots, various mountain fungi Ah, isn’t it quite a lot? I just found some for cooking. There are also wild vegetables such as dandelions, so you should be able to find some tender ones, right?”

The current image of their family is that they "squeezed their money to build a house", so they can no longer spend money on vegetables, which is too eye-catching.

You have to have a reason to "get money" before you can buy land to farm or do business.

What better way to "launder money" than to find treasure in the mountains?

Their family is an exile and cannot buy land. They can only reclaim wasteland and grow it in the land of Yancun. The reclaimed land cannot be used for trading.

But this is also easy to solve, isn't there Hu Ling?He is a good man with a clean fortune.

Aunt Li Shiyi hurriedly said: "There are indeed a lot of bamboo shoots and mushrooms at this time of year, but the wild vegetables are old. Let me go with you. I understand things in the mountains!"

Zhao Liya smiled and nodded: "It would be better if Aunt Eleven took us with me, thank you Aunt Eleven!"

"Hi, you're welcome."

Zhao Xiang also wanted to speak, Zhao Liya hurriedly said: "Father, you and mother can accompany Xiang'er and Lin'er at home, and do it by the way."

Zhao Xiang had no choice but to nod: "That's fine, you have to be careful when you go up the mountain."

It is true that his wife and the two children cannot be left alone at home. The wife is too weak, and if someone makes trouble for them, their mother will suffer.

Everyone arranged for tomorrow in a few sentences and two sentences, and then began to sow seeds.

They are all on-demand, dig a small hole in a field of vegetables, sprinkle a few seeds, and plant them next to each other.

Water a little while planting.

For a vegetable garden of about one and a half acres, a small piece of melon shed was left in the corner. After one day, all the seeds were planted.

In the evening, Zhao Liya specially asked Widow Qu's family for some leeks and shallots, and dug them from her vegetable garden and planted them directly.

It won't be long before more will grow, and there will be another crop after cutting.

Widow Qu generously gave it and took her to dig in the vegetable garden herself.

After a little hesitation, Widow Qu still reminded Zhao Liya in a low voice: "Aya, those people in the Gu family are not good-natured, they hold grudges! You still have to be careful on weekdays, maybe they will understand me at some point, right?"

Zhao Liya said in her heart that what you said is so clear, of course I understand.

She nodded: "Aunt Qu, thank you! Don't worry, you kindly remind me that I will never tell anyone these words, not even my parents."

"Hey, you child!" Aunt Qu smiled a little embarrassedly, but she felt much more at ease in her heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that she really liked the Zhao family, and because Zhao Liya had a sweet mouth, she bought a lot of vegetables from their family when they built the house, and gave more money than others, Widow Qu would not have liked it at all. I will say this to Zhao Liya.

Zhao Liya's words reassured her. After thinking about it, she couldn't help telling Zhao Liya a lot about the weird things the Gu family had done before.

The corners of Zhao Liya's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she thought to herself, fortunately, she has a righteous brother, a good man, so she must stay a little farther away from Yancun when buying fields and land next year.

The weather was very good for a while, and the next day just dawned, they ate the leftover rice from last night and fried it with eggs and cabbage for breakfast. He went out with a sack.

Yancun and its surrounding areas are flat land and slightly rolling hills, but the wild forests are still lush. The vegetation in the south is not only diverse, but also grows taller. Many weeds grow taller than people.

They went a long way, and they walked for almost an hour before stopping.

It is more difficult to find wild mushrooms nearby. They have been found all, so they have to go farther.

Aunt Li Shiyi was more experienced. She saw a fir forest from a distance and took them there.

"The fir forest has the most wild fungi of all kinds, let's look for them!"

"Okay, Aunt Eleven."

They came at the right time, and there happened to be a batch of fir tree fungi and red fungus that grew just right and were suitable for picking.

If you come early or two days late, you may not be able to meet them.

Aunt Li Shiyi was overjoyed, "No matter what you pick, it must weigh [-] to [-] kilograms, right? Not to mention, I have never encountered so many fungi a few times! This must be your luck!"

Both Zhao Liya and Hu Ling laughed, and Hu Ling said: "Aya is lucky!"

Zhao Liya said with a smile: "Let's pick them all back, and dry what we can't finish. When Eleventh Aunt goes back, I will bring some back to taste."

Aunt Li Shiyi was even happier after hearing this, and she refused cheerfully: "No, no, I can't help you much by staying in your house. There are so many delicious foods every day. Hey, I'm so embarrassed. Where can I still eat?" I can take it away."

"What you want, what you want, one yard for one yard, whoever sees it has a share!"

"Hey you child!"

Zhao Liya smiled again: "But Aunt Eleven, don't be in a hurry to go back. With you here, our house is more lively. We all wish you could stay longer."

Aunt Li Shiyi was laughed out loud, "If you don't mind, Auntie can stay here for as long as she wants!"

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! It's too late for us to welcome you!"

There was another burst of hearty laughter.

The three moved swiftly and quickly picked up a lot.

The main reason is that the fir tree fungus and red fungus don't grow long enough, and once they grow, they will become a large piece.Moreover, it only takes three or four days to grow old and rot. Either someone is lucky enough to pick it, or it will all be broken.
