Spatial medical concubine, taking the whole family to farm

Chapter 22
After the marriage was settled, the patriarch of Xiaoshan stayed at home for dinner.

The patriarch and Xiao Shan's father are cousins, and Xiao Shan calls him cousin. He is in his early sixties, with a thin body and a goatee. He always has a smile on his face, and he is very amiable.

"Brother Wen, don't mention you, I really like you when I look at it." The patriarch stroked his beard in satisfaction, "Not only is he a handsome man, but he is also respectful and courteous in dealing with others, Xue girl has vision, and she didn't choose the wrong person. "

Xiao Shan laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Hey, that girl is a lucky one."

"Well, now that her marriage is settled, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Yes, but he is still young, and he will have to rely on the clansmen to take care of him in the future."

"That's natural, we're all family."

The two sat under the awning in the courtyard, chatting and drinking tea, while Xiao Ningxue was busy in the kitchen.

Since the separation of the family, Xiao Ning eats porridge all the time. Whether Mrs. Xiao likes to eat or not, she is hungry anyway. Is there anything in the space supermarket?
So today was the first time I was officially preparing to start cooking.

There were meat and eggs at home, but no vegetarian dishes. Seeing that it was still dark, Xiao Ningxue went out with a basket.

"Father, grandpa patriarch, you guys drink tea first, I'll go to the field to pick some vegetables and come back."

"Okay, let's go." Xiao Shan responded.

He didn't come back very often, and he didn't know the drought situation in the field, but Taohua Village was much better no matter how dry it was outside. Even if the stream stopped flowing, it was still close to the Huaihe River.

I heard earlier that canals need to be dug to divert water from the Huaihe River to irrigate the fields, so the corn and sorghum on the mountain need to carry water.

So no matter how bad it is, there are always vegetables in the ground.

But the patriarch stroked his beard and called Xiao Ningxue to stop, "Girl Xue, if you don't have any vegetables in your field, you can go to grandpa's field to pick some. The first vegetable field at the foot of Dongshan belongs to grandpa's house."

In the whole village, Granny Xiao's family is the laziest. The crops grown in the field have long since dried up, but the patriarch is hard to say, so he just confessed.

Xiao Ningxue replied with a smile, "Okay, thank you patriarch, grandpa." Then she walked out of the courtyard with a basket on her arm.

Along the way, there was an endless stream of people carrying water to irrigate the fields, even lighting torches at night to rescue crops.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Ningxue was also very worried for everyone.

There is still more than a month before the crops are ripe, but there is not a cloud in the sky, and it is unknown when it will rain. If the drought continues like this, the river may stop flowing.

It seems that this drought is inevitable.

She has a space in the supermarket, so she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but she can't just take things out like this, can she?I have to live a bright life and earn money to stock up on food.

She has already paved the way to make money. She is practicing medicine in Baohetang. Tonight, she will find an opportunity to reveal this matter to her father, so that he will not worry about money anymore.

Xiao Ningxue looked around while thinking.

In the fields on both sides of the road, some fields are green, while others are withered and yellow. The hardworking people are still struggling, and the lazy ones have already given up.

And the fields of Mrs. Xiao's family have long been dry and cracked. All these years, the family has relied on Xiaoshan to support them, but they never thought of relying on the fields for food and carrying water to irrigate the fields?They are not willing to sell this strength.

Naturally, there was not a single green leaf in the vegetable garden, and the two pieces of land given to Xiaoshan when the family was separated were even worse. The weeds were all dead, and there was only a piece of dry yellow land left.

These, as early as Xiao Ningxue expected, the family only thought about how to extract money from their father, how could they care about the little harvest in the field?

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Ningxue took out two handfuls of juicy green vegetables from the Space Supermarket in a blink of an eye, spread them out in a basket and carried them home.

On the way, I met the patriarch's wife, Mrs. Sun, leading her son and daughter-in-law to carry water home.

"Grandma Sun, Uncle Xiao, Uncle Xiao, Da Niang and Er Niang..." Xiao Ningxue greeted them with a sweet smile.

The surname Xiao is a common surname in Taohua Village. There are forty or fifty households in the family, and everyone helps each other on weekdays.

Mrs. Xiao treated the original owner harshly, often refusing to feed her because of trivial matters. No matter who saw it in the family, they would call the poor child over to fill their stomachs.

The original owner is gone now, but since she has inherited the body of the original owner, Xiao Ningxue must not forget these kindnesses, and must repay them when she has the opportunity in the future.

Grandma Sun and her son and daughter-in-law all stopped and looked at Xiao Ningxue with a smile.

"Girl Xue, is your marriage settled?" Grandma Sun asked lovingly.

"Well, it's done." Xiao Ningxue responded cheerfully, "The patriarch's grandfather will have dinner at our house in the evening. If it gets dark after dinner, Dad and I will send him back."

"Then what's the use of sending it? Just ask your uncle to pick it up." Grandma Sun said as she emptied the bucket, took out a handful of cowpeas, and stuffed them into Xiao Ningxue's basket, "There's nothing to eat when there's a drought. Take the cowpea and fry it."

Their family is diligent, carrying water to irrigate the fields day and night, so the fields are still green.

Xiao Ningxue accepted it bluntly, "Thank you, Grandma Sun, then I'll go home and cook." After speaking, she happily went home.

Grandma Sun looked at Xiao Ningxue's back and muttered: "Fortunately, I found a suitable husband and son-in-law, otherwise, in this famine year, Old Madam Xiao might sell this little girl somewhere."

The two daughters-in-law also responded with emotion.

"Isn't it? The whole family eats too much and is lazy, sucking Xiao Shan's blood like a leech, how thick-skinned they are!"

"Didn't Dad reveal when he was drunk that day, saying that Xiao Shan is not Mrs. Xiao's real son? What's going on here?"

Grandma Sun hurriedly warned, "You guys have to rot this matter in your stomach, and if word spreads, Old Madam Xiao will come to us desperately..."

The two daughters-in-law fell silent immediately.

Everyone has seen how difficult Mrs. Xiao is. Once she had a dispute with Aunt Wu, she moved a stool and guarded her door and scolded her for a month, until Aunt Wu apologized to her with half a basket of eggs. .

In the old house of the Xiao family, after Xiao Ningxue came back, she went into the kitchen and started cooking.

She loves to cook in modern times, and whenever she has time, she studies all kinds of video tutorials, and her skills are very good.

Although the ingredients of this evening meal are ordinary, but after being made by her hands, it is also full of color, fragrance and taste.

Stir-fried pork with cowpea, chopped green onion and egg soup, plus a stir-fried green vegetable with minced garlic. When cooking, there is no cooking wine or anything, and the fragrance is delicious.

In the lean meat porridge cooked for Wu Chongwen, green vegetable leaves and green onion are added, which is delicious and nutritious.

Xiao Shan took out the long-preserved rice wine and drank it with the patriarch, while Xiao Ningxue entered the house with porridge.

Wu Chongwen woke up after sleeping for a whole day, the lights outlined his sculpted and handsome silhouette, and he stared at Xiao Ningxue with a smile on his face.

Watching her sitting by the bed with the porridge bowl in hand, scooping up a spoonful of porridge and blowing carefully.

Her eyelashes are curled and slender, fluttering one by one, like the wings of a butterfly, playful, cute, agile and beautiful.

Tsk, his newly engaged fiancee is actually a little beauty who hasn't bloomed yet.

So his previous vow not to marry for life has been broken?
