Easy to farm

Chapter 25
The afternoon was no better than the morning, and soon there would be no sunshine in the mountains. Chunhua reminded Pei Xiangxiang and Xiu'e not to go further in, but to return the same way.

This time the harvest was similar to last time. After leaving the forest and down the mountain, Chunhua was going to put some bracken on Pei Xiangxiang's side, but Pei Xiangxiang stopped her. Seeing that Chunhua picked up a lot of fungus and mushrooms, she opened her mouth Said, "Sister Chunhua, it's better for you to let me have mushrooms and fungus, these two are more expensive."

What Pei Xiangxiang said was to give Chunhua a chance to save more private money, a few coins each time, and over time, the accumulation will be a lot.

Xiu'e also very much agrees with what Pei Xiangxiang said, "Yes, what Xiangxiang said is right, you only take bracken back home, and don't bring back fungus and mushrooms. When you sell them tomorrow, they will all be yours."

"By the way, if your sister-in-law asked why she only got bracken and no mushrooms and fungus, she would say that the wild vegetables are naturally picked as they come across, and it's not our own land. We didn't find anything else, and the mushrooms and fungus were gone. It’s not everywhere, sometimes it’s normal to not find it, and now that there are so many people digging, maybe someone else will take the lead.”

To deal with a shrewd person like Chunhua's sister-in-law, Pei Xiangxiang felt that he had to think about all kinds of situations in advance, otherwise Chunhua's temperament would definitely be stopped by her sister-in-law when asked, and then she would come out.

"Yes, yes, just do what Xiangxiang you said, Xiangxiang, you are too smart." Chunhua couldn't help but sigh again, her eyes were full of admiration for Pei Xiangxiang.

Pei Xiangxiang just smiled, thinking that this is not smart, but Chunhua is too upright and simple, and she is using her brains, but if Chunhua's sister-in-law finds out about this, she will definitely tell Chunhua not to associate with her.

Chunhua listened to Pei Xiangxiang and Xiu'e's advice, and put the mushrooms and fungus in their two baskets separately, leaving only the bracken in the vegetable basket to take back.

On the way back, the three of them chatted and laughed, which was very lively, but when they thought about how to go to Qingyang Town tomorrow, the three of them couldn't laugh anymore.

It took about half an hour to walk from Nanhe Village to Qingyang Town, and more than an hour and a half to go back and forth. Converted to modern time, it would take more than three hours.

There are too few means of transportation now, except for ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, sedan chairs, etc., but these are not available to poor farmers at any time.

"It's really impossible, we can only walk. We can't wait for Aunt Li's ox cart to go to Qingyang Town before we go. Then these dishes must be spoiled and won't last that long."

Both Chunhua and Xiu'e have the same worries, but Pei Xiangxiang is not worried that his vegetables will be spoiled, and they can be kept fresh all the time by putting them in the portable farm. Do this every time, otherwise it will soon arouse the suspicion of others.

As soon as Chunhua arrived home, her sister-in-law Zhao came up to her and stared at the vegetables in her basket.

"I went out for so long today, why did I mess up so much, did I just goof off?" Zhao began to criticize as soon as he opened his mouth.

Back then, when Mrs. Zhao first entered Li's house, she was soft-tempered, even spoke softly, and always had a smile on her face. Chunhua liked her very much, but it didn't last long.

When Mrs. Zhao lost her temper, the villagers said that Mrs. Chunhua Liu was too strong, so Mrs. Zhao would fight back. But after a long time, everyone began to sympathize with Mrs. Liu's family when they saw Mrs. Zhao gaining momentum. After marrying such a daughter-in-law, it will be difficult to live peacefully in the future.

"If I want to be lazy, I won't go out to pick wild vegetables. It's so comfortable to lie at home." Chunhua muttered softly, but she didn't dare to let Mrs. Zhao hear it.

Mrs. Zhao saw Chunhua's mouth opening and closing up and down, and immediately said, "What are you muttering, are you saying something bad about me, afraid that I will hear it?"

"I didn't say anything, I'll go to the kitchen to cook first, sister-in-law, you can do your work." After Chunhua finished speaking, she turned around and was about to run to the kitchen.

However, before she took two steps, she was stopped by Mrs. Zhao, "Wait, you said you were not lazy. Yesterday there were not only bracken, but also fungus and mushrooms. Today, there are only bracken, and the most valuable ones are all gone." Come on, isn’t this laziness?”

As soon as Zhao's words came out, Chunhua admired Pei Xiangxiang even more, thinking that she even guessed what her sister-in-law would ask.

Because Pei Xiangxiang told her how to answer in advance, Chunhua changed her timidity from the past, turned around, stood up straight, and said, "Sister-in-law, the back mountain is not the land I planted, and I just dig whatever I find. And now I am not the only one digging up wild vegetables, maybe someone else saw that the price of mushrooms and fungus is better, so they picked them up first.”

Mrs. Zhao seldom saw Chunhua who was confident and confident, so she was stunned for a moment, but for the first time, she did not continue to refute Chunhua, and waved to her, "You go and cook, remember to tell mother, Gouwa wants to eat steamed eggs, remember to eat steamed eggs at night." do this."

Gouwa is the son of Zhao and Li Danian. He is four years old this year. Because he was born weak and sick, Liu was worried that he would not be able to support him. He heard the old people in the village say that a humble name can prevent disasters, so he chose a nickname for his grandson. dog baby.

Gouwa is Liu's favorite, and Chunhua also likes this little nephew very much. Hearing from Mrs. Zhao that Gouwa wants to eat steamed eggs, she even went to the kitchen and told her that she is an old lady.

As soon as Pei Xiangxiang walked to the door of the house, he saw Mrs. Yang squatting by the wall feeding Pang Pang. Only then did Pei Xiangxiang remember that he was too anxious to go out after lunch, and even forgot to leave a meal for Pang Pang.

Xu Shi heard Pei Xiangxiang's footsteps. Pang Pang, who was eating with his head down, raised his head and looked towards Pei Xiangxiang. After confirming that it was Pei Xiangxiang, he stopped eating and ran towards Pei Xiangxiang.

Pei Xiangxiang was a little surprised that Pangpang would be so happy to see him, so he stood still and let Pangpang rub against him.

Chubby's reaction naturally caught Yang's attention. Seeing Pei Xiangxiang come back, Yang asked, "You child, where did you get a dog? If it wasn't for this dog who was hungry and came out of your room to look for something to eat." , I don’t even know, when did you bring it back?”

"Mother, don't chase Pangpang away. I picked it up in the mountains yesterday. Seeing that it is so small and pitiful, I couldn't help but bring it back."

"Okay, let's keep it. When it grows up, it can help guard the door." There are also many people in Nanhe Village who raise dogs to guard against thieves.

Originally, Pei Xiangxiang was worried that Mrs. Yang would not agree, but she did not object at all. This surprised Pei Xiangxiang, and naturally he was extremely pleasantly surprised.

After Pang Pang was full, he wagged his tail around Yang Shi and Pei Xiangxiang, looking to please them both. When Pei Yongping came back, he saw his wife and daughter sitting together, and a puppy happily circled them. The picture is very warm, which warms his heart instantly, and the exhaustion of the day dissipates instantly, and he can't help but speed up his pace to go home.
