After marrying the rough man Orion, the little peasant girl was spoiled

Chapter 11 Picking Dates

Jiang Miao took a step back, looked up at him, and said anxiously: "Cheng Huai, wait for me, I will wash up quickly."

Yu Ying smiled and shouted: "Girl Miao, don't worry, go out after eating."

Jiang Miao was relieved now.

Cheng Huai turned around and looked for a small hoe, which Yu Ying usually used to weed.

There was a crackling sound in the kitchen, and after a while, Yu Ying brought out two bowls of porridge and put them on the bench to cool, then went to put the baked pancakes and the kettle filled with water into the cloth bag.

He walked over and said, "The porridge will be ready to drink after it cools down. The pancakes are put in the bag for you. There is no extra water bottle. You can drink together when the time comes."

Cheng Huai took the bag and nodded.

"Girl Miao's injury hasn't healed yet, you should bring her back to drink medicine earlier, and don't really make her work." Yu Ying urged.

If you want to work, don't be in a hurry. You have to heal your injury first, so as to avoid the root cause of the disease in the future, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"Okay." Cheng Huai didn't intend to let Jiang Miao work, but she agreed to go if she wanted to.

Jiang Miao quickly finished washing, came over to drink porridge with Cheng Huai, and the two of them went out with cloth bags.

"Cheng Huai, go up the mountain!" Aunt Zhang was shaking the porridge bowl in the village, her eyes cast around.

"Hey, this is Jiang girl, why don't you go up the mountain with your family before the injury is healed?"

From what he said, it seemed that Jiang Miao was forced to go up the mountain.

Jiang Miao has a little impression of her. Whenever there is anything in this village, Mrs. Zhang can tell the whole village with her mouth.

She said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm almost recovering from my injury, and I can't stay idle in the house, so I asked Cheng Huai to take me up the mountain to have a look."

Aunt Zhang took a sip of porridge and pointed in the direction with her chopsticks, "What is there to see on the mountain, except for the mud and trees, if you want to see it, you must go to the town to see it. I saw your aunt taking her daughter this morning." I went to town and said that my mother’s family is here and someone wants to buy pastries.”

Jiang Miao smiled, and answered lightly, "Then I must go to the town to see in the future."

After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to grab Cheng Huai's sleeve and walked forward.

Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, thinking that Jiang Miao was not very smart, so she didn't understand what she said at all.

Her eldest aunt used her marriage money to buy pastries for her natal family, but she was not angry at all.

On the way, Cheng Huai moved his arms calmly and tried to shake off Jiang Miao's hand. He was not used to someone pulling him like this, and it felt weird.

Jiang Miao didn't notice this, but felt that he was walking so fast that she couldn't keep up with her short legs, "Cheng Huai, how long is the journey up the mountain?"

"Front."

Seeing her shortness of breath, Cheng Huai slowed down his steps and put his arms down without moving.

Seeing an uphill road ahead, Jiang Miao let out a long breath. Lushui village is surrounded by mountains on both sides, but there is only one road up the mountain. Other places are either steep slopes or trees, so it is not easy to go up.

Fortunately, the uphill road was relatively flat and not far away. Jiang Miao held her breath and climbed up by herself. Of course, she kept pulling Cheng Huai's arm.

When he reacted, he realized that Cheng Huai's face was tense.

Jiang Miao quickly let go of her hand, looked at the surrounding trees, diverted her attention and asked, "Where is our land?"

Handing her the water bottle, Cheng Huai picked up the hoe and walked not far away. Jiang Miao hurriedly followed. There were two ridges in total, but it was much longer than the vegetable garden at home. The terrain was very flat, and only half of the ridge was left without hoeing.

New green shoots emerged from the hoeed ground. Jiang Miao didn't recognize them, so he pointed to the green shoots and asked, "What kind of vegetable is this?"

"Soybean." Cheng Huai answered while bending over to hoe the soil.

Jiang Miao nodded, picked up the small hoe next to her, and squatted on another ridge to weed.

With the experience of last time, she would stand up and walk around after squatting for a while, and take a water bottle to drink water for Cheng Huai, who was buried in his work.

He doesn't seem to know he's tired, and he hasn't stopped since he picked up the hoe. If she didn't take the initiative to pass the water, he might not remember to take a sip.

After hoeing the grass here, Jiang Miao was a little tired, so he stood up and walked over, "Let's take a rest, drink some water and eat a pancake."

When the hoe was almost finished, Cheng Huai stopped to look at her, nodded slightly, and went to get the green vegetable cake in the cloth bag and handed it to her.

Seeing the cake, Jiang Miao felt hungry, took it with a bright smile, took the big cake and tore it in half, and handed the big one to Cheng Huai.

"Can we go down the mountain after hoeing this land?" I don't know much about planting ginger seedlings, so I can only ask for advice humbly.

Cheng Huai took out the soybeans wrapped in a damp cloth from the bag, which had been soaked in water and germinated.

Jiang Miao came to a sudden, it seems that the beans are going to be ordered this morning, and they are probably busy.

After the two of them ate the cake, Jiang Miao divided one-third of the soybean seeds, and followed Cheng Huai's steps to order the beans carefully.

After doing this, Cheng Huai carried two wooden barrels to the river down the mountain to fetch water. Jiang Miao followed behind him, recognizing that this was the river where he fell into the water last time.

Reflexively, she didn't dare to get too close.

People in the village said that she committed suicide by jumping into the river because of her bad reputation, but it was not the case. In her memory, the original body was pushed from behind.

As for who that person was, she didn't even see it.

"gone."

After Cheng Huai fetched the water, seeing her in a daze, he couldn't help but frowned. She wouldn't want to jump into the river, would she?

Jiang Miao quickly regained consciousness and followed him, and grabbed him habitually, otherwise it would be difficult to climb up.

This little strength was nothing to Cheng Huai, he carried the water up the mountain calmly, and then filled the water with Jiang Miao.

When leaving, Cheng Huai called to her, "Go pick dates."

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, she was so busy that she forgot about this, but he never thought that he would keep it in mind.

The jujube tree grows on the side of the steep slope, and there is a circle of unknown trees around it, which may be the reason why the jujube is not bald by the villagers.

"Too high."

She looked up and saw that the dates below had been picked, and if she knocked it with something, it would easily fall down the cliff.

Even for a man as tall as Cheng Huai, it would be useless to pick it off.

Jiang Miao turned her head, glanced at Cheng Huai's height, and thought a little, "Hold me to pick it up, we are tall enough together."

She was focused on picking dates, but Cheng Huai's heart beat a little faster, he pursed his lips, and hummed in a low voice.

The man bent down, wrapped her legs tightly with his hands, and then easily hugged her to stand up.

Jiang Miao suddenly felt that her field of vision had widened, and the dates were close in front of her eyes. She quickly reached out to pick the dates, and looked down when her hands were full.

"I can't put it in a bag, I can't hold it in my hand."

The man held her honestly, feeling full of security, and when he heard her speak, he handed her a piece of cloth, as if he had prepared it long ago.

Jiang Miao quickly put the dates in, picked some more, and tasted one by herself, it was sweeter than yesterday's.

She couldn't help but took one and shared it with him, "Try it, it's so sweet."
