four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 170 Grandma, isn’t there any ginger in winter?
The servants of the Pei family set up a shadow puppet show. Pei Yu took the Yuanbao brothers and sisters to select snacks that they liked in the kitchen, and carefully arranged for escorts to go to the Jin family to inform the elders of the Jin family that Yuanbao and the others were staying here to watch the New Year.

A group of children gathered together to watch the shadow puppet show "General Pei enters and exits seven times to behead the enemy" without even moving their eyes.

It wasn't until Jin Da came to pick him up with a lantern in the middle of the night and the Jin family had several treasures that he reluctantly left.

Pei Yu's eyes stayed on Yuan Bao, and when he saw that she was still unfinished, he said: "Yuan Bao, if you want to see it, come back tomorrow and I will have my servants sing for you all day long."

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask my mother to boil pear water to relieve coughs and moisturize the lungs, and bring it to you. I will also let the uncle and aunt who sing the shadow puppets drink a bowl to moisten their throats. My little brother will have a good first day~~"

Yuan Bao paid New Year's greetings to Pei Yu and went home with Jin Da.

Before dawn the next day, Jin gathered a few gossipy men and played New Year's Eve while cracking melon seeds. They talked about the affairs of the Pei Mansion and said that several of their children spent the whole night in the Pei Mansion with the young master. shadow play.

Knowing that the people who lived there and were still alive didn't have big heads and six arms, the people who loved gossip in Lizi Village gradually became less interested.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Sipixing, who had been away from home for more than ten days, came back safely despite the wind and snow covering his head as big as goose feathers. He also brought many Jingzhou objects that General Pesnian had rewarded.

Hua Weiwei learned that the letter had been delivered safely. When he returned, General Pesnian was ready to go to Beijing. He had been worried for many days and finally let go.

But for everyone in the Jin family, the most gratifying thing is that Jin has all his arms and legs, and apart from catching a slight cold, there is nothing wrong with him.

Yuan Bao brought a bowl of ginger soup from the kitchen and said with a milky voice: "Dad, please drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold. Don't get sick~~"

Jin Si felt warm in his heart, "It's better to be a girl. Come on, let dad hug you!"

After drinking the ginger soup like a cow, Jin Si held the ingot in his hands and weighed it.

Hey?A little heavier!
Jin Si shook the ingot happily.

Mrs. Miao was afraid of falling, so she scolded: "You are heartless. You have been away from home for so many days and why don't you go and talk to your wife? What are you doing with our Yuanbao? Yuanbao, tell grandma, are you the ginger?" Where did it come from?”

She remembered that the last bit of ginger at home had been used when making fish soup.

Yuan Bao didn't understand why grandma asked, and pointed to the kitchen, "I put it away before, grandma, is there any problem?"

In fact, Yuanbao grew a lot of ginger in her small space, but in order to hide it from others, she also put a little bit in the kitchen.

"No, grandma is just curious, where did you keep this ginger, and why it hasn't gone bad after so long..." Miao felt very strange.

According to their farmer's habit, they plant ginger during the Qingming Festival and dig ginger when the rice is ripe. Coupled with successive years of drought, the family has not been able to plant land, and naturally they have not been able to plant seeds with the rice seedlings to plant ginger.

The piece of ginger at home was dug by Xu Liudi from the mountain. Most of it was broken after being left there. I didn't expect that Yuanbao could still come up with a piece of ginger at this time?

This ginger is a good thing. In the middle of winter, if you can drink a bowl of it to warm your heart and lungs, it will be easier to get through the whole winter.

Unfortunately, ginger is a crop that spoils too easily and cannot be used as food, so it spoils quickly and no one is willing to use land to grow ginger.

Yuan Bao blinked his eyes, tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Grandma, isn't there any ginger in winter?"

She remembered that ginger can be preserved for a long time as long as it is placed in the sand. The piece she just used to cook ginger soup for her father was the one she put in the kitchen a month ago.
