The reborn peasant girl wants to turn over

Chapter 9 Cold Shepherd's Purse
Li Xiuxiu went to the hillside where she went yesterday, but she didn't come to rest. It's just April and May, and there are still a lot of wild vegetables like shepherd's purse in the field. Now everyone's life is still difficult, and shepherd's purse will still be served on the dinner table.It's just that the villagers have been busy with spring plowing recently, and no one has bothered to come up to pick them. Instead, a lot of shepherd's purses have grown on the hillside.

Li Xiuxiu looked at the tender green shepherd's purse everywhere on the hillside, with a happy smile on her face. When she was a nanny for Mr. Li's house in her previous life, Mr. Li liked it very much. Every spring, she would let her go to the vegetable market to buy some, or make dumplings. , or served cold, they are all very delicious food.

Li Xiuxiu thought to herself, the movements of her hands were not slow at all. She untied the gown tied around her waist and spread it on the ground. She quickly took off a full gown. She reckoned that it would be enough to eat even after blanching One or two meals.

After Li Xiuxiu wrapped the shepherd's purse, she walked towards Tian Laogen's house in the village with her arms in her arms.

When he walked near Tian Laogen's house, Li Xiuxiu looked in from the low wall of his house on tiptoe. As expected, Aunt Lao Gen was packing firewood in the yard. Stay busy at home.

When Li Xiuxiu raised his foot to enter the gate of Tian Laogen's house, Li Zhicheng's call came from far behind, Li Xiuxiu didn't even think about it, just pretended he didn't hear it, and entered Tian Laogen's house.

Li Zhicheng in the back saw that Li Xiuxiu neither turned around to look at him nor stopped, and was a little unhappy, but his thoughts were more on the thing Li Xiuxiu was holding just now. Something, maybe he stole something from the house, but unfortunately he didn't have the guts to go into Uncle Lao Gen's house, last night his mother told him not to mess with Tian's family.

After thinking about it, Li Zhicheng quickly ran towards the house.

"Aunt Lao Gen, are you busy?" Li Xiuxiu greeted Aunt Lao Gen loudly with a smile on her face as soon as she entered the door.

Aunt Lao Gen is also a real person. She has never quarreled loudly with anyone in her life. She is a kind person known in the village. When she looked up and saw it was Xiuxiu, she stopped the guy in her hand, straightened up, and said kindly: " Xiuxiu, come in and sit down."

Li Xiuxiu put the package in her hand on the stone mill in the yard, untied it to reveal the shepherd's purse inside, and said embarrassingly: "Auntie, look, this is the shepherd's purse I picked just now, and it's still fresh. You and Uncle Gen will add some more food."

Aunt Lao Gen waved her hand and refused before she finished listening, "How good is this? How can we old couple take advantage of you? You spent so much time picking it, so hurry up and blanch it at home, so as to save the leaves from turning yellow."

Li Xiuxiu hurriedly continued: "Auntie, that's what happened. I haven't eaten any food from yesterday to today. Our family usually doesn't have much food for me. I made a fuss yesterday, and they don't want to see me. I can't see half a star of rice grains. You see——can I exchange these shepherd's purses for something—"

When it came to the end, Li Xiuxiu's neck was red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. In her previous life, she had never reached out to beg for food after being so difficult.

When Aunt Lao Gen heard this, she was a little surprised by what happened to Li's family. Li Laosan usually looks like a sensible person. She didn't expect to do such a thing of bullying a child, but she saw Li Xiuxiu blushing. He didn't seem to ask any more questions, and directly dragged Li Xiuxiu to the kitchen, and said as he walked: "Xiu girl, you came just in time, our family cooked too much breakfast in the morning, and there is still a bowl of porridge and a sweet potato warm in the pot."

Li Xiuxiu obediently followed Aunt Lao Gen into the kitchen, and said sincerely, "Thank you Auntie for giving me food."

"Thank you, folks from the village."

Li Xiuxiu ate sweet potatoes and porridge slowly.

Afterwards, he insisted on helping Aunt Lao Gen wash the dishes, picked up the shepherd's purse, blanched it, and after asking Aunt Lao Gen, served cold salad with the ingredients they had at home.

When she was picking shepherd's purse, she also picked a few wild garlic sprouts. She chopped the garlic sprouts into pieces, put some salt, fried two dried red peppers, and then put the peppers and oil into the shepherd's purse and mixed them stand up.

"It smells delicious." Aunt Lao Gen praised it endlessly, and tasted it even more delicious and refreshing.

"Xiuxiu, I didn't expect you to mix shepherd's purse so well!"

"It's nothing, my aunt thinks it's delicious, and I'll bring her shepherd's purse to my aunt in the future, and I'll mix it with cold salad." Li Xiuxiu said.

"What's so fragrant?" Uncle Tian Laogen's voice came from outside. Aunt Lao Gen and Li Xiuxiu looked up when they heard the sound, and saw Tian Laogen carrying a hoe into the yard.

"Xiuxiu sent some shepherd's purse over today, and also served us cold salad, which tastes like cold shepherd's purse!" Aunt Lao Gen saw a third person appearing, and quickly praised Li Xiuxiu.

"Shepherd's purse can be so fragrant? I don't believe it." Tian Laogen put on a disbelieving expression, and put the hoe against the wall.

Aunt Lao Gen held a chopstick to Uncle Lao Gen's mouth, Tian Laogen opened his mouth and ate it, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded while eating.

Chao Li Xiuxiu said: "Xiu girl, your skills are good."

Li Xiuxiu is not humble either. Teacher Li told her in her previous life that she should show her strengths as she should, and claim them as she should. Don't be too modest. If you are humble, you will miss some opportunities. No, in the previous life, when Li's family entertained guests, do Li Xiuxiu was the one who ate, but it was Li Wanwan who was praised.She smiled directly and said, "It's nothing, as long as uncle and aunt think it's delicious."

Then he said goodbye, "Uncle is back, Auntie, then I will go back."

Aunt Lao Gen grabbed Li Xiuxiu and said, "What are you doing when you go back? You won't have anything to eat when you go back, so you can just stay here with your aunt and leave after eating. Your uncle and I are the only ones at home, and there is no one on weekdays." , you are here today, just accompany us two old ones."

Li Xiuxiu shy away embarrassedly: "I've already eaten Aunt Lao Gen's meal, how can I still eat?"

Tian Laogen asked from the side: "What's going on?"

Aunt Lao Gen told about Xiuxiu not eating for more than a day, and Tian Laogen yelled: "Didn't Han Min's family promise to treat Xiuxiu well yesterday?"

Li Xiuxiu explained in a low voice: "My aunt just promised not to let Zhicheng beat me, nor make me work. It is true that Zhicheng didn't bother me anymore, and didn't make me work, but he didn't have my food either." I just picked a tomato and cucumber in the vegetable garden yesterday, and my grandma pointed at my nose and scolded me for not going to die, so I had to come to my aunt to eat."

Tian Laogen paused, and asked again: "Your master doesn't say a word? What about your uncle and sister-in-law?"

"No one in my family likes me." Li Xiuxiu lowered her head.

Hmph, she won't whitewash for those individuals in the Li family.

Tian Laogen didn't ask any more questions, but he didn't have a good impression of Li Laosan's family anymore.He waved his hand and said, "Then you can stay and eat."
