Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 14 Solving the Problems of Shampooing and Going to the Market (1)
There are bamboo shoots in spring, which Xiao Ting likes to eat, so she called the cheap mother to find wild vegetables.Big bamboo shoots are delicious, no matter they are eaten in a row, roasted or made into soup, the meat of small bamboo shoots is more tender.In short, no matter what kind of bamboo shoots, Xiao Ting likes to eat them.And she especially likes to find big bamboo shoots and pull out small ones.The small variety of bamboo shoots is Xiaoting's favorite.

Xiao Ting brought a kitchen knife today because she asked Cheap Mother to cut branches.Xiao Ting took the kitchen knife from Jian Jianiang, and went to find the bamboo shoots by herself.The kind of tall and big bamboo that you can see usually grows big bamboo shoots, but those kind of bamboo shoots are still tender when they emerge from a small tip, and when they grow longer, they will grow old and bitter.And Xiao Ting likes to look for the ones that have not yet sprouted. As long as there is a wet spot on the sand next to the big bamboo, then there are likely to be bamboo shoots under it.

Referring to this, Xiao Ting has already dug up a lot of bamboo shoots, plus the ones that just popped up, Xiao Ting can't carry them anymore.As for the small bamboo shoots that look like the pandas, Xiao Ting waited until she had time to get them.If you get more, you can pack them up and dry them in the sun, and you can fry them later.That's a fragrance, Xiao Ting's mouth is watering just thinking about it.It was too exhausting in the morning, and my stomach has already started to growl.

Xiao Ting dragged the basket in one hand and two chickens in the other, and went to the meeting place to wait for her mother to go home together.Today is really a bumper harvest. Slowly, the basket of bamboo shoots is almost overflowing. With the addition of nine pheasants, it can be eaten for ten days and half a month.

"Mom, where are you? I'm hungry. Let's go home." Xiao Ting wanted to go home, but she was impatient with the wait. The sky was bright now, and there was a faint light of the sun coming out from the east. up.

"I'm here, okay, let's go home quickly, we can't let our baby Xiaohua get hungry, your grandma probably has already cooked the meal, and Xiao Zhuzi probably woke up right now. Let's go home, a while When you get home, mother will fetch water after dinner. You pack yesterday’s clothes, and when mother comes back, she will take you to wash clothes by the river. Our little flower is now grown up and sensible. Mother teaches Xiaohua to wash clothes. I can also help my mother share some, okay?"

Xiao Ting didn't expect the cheap lady to be so tired. No wonder she looks like someone in her thirties when she is in her twenties, and there are some gray hairs on her head.She knew that even after washing the clothes, her mother would still have to go to the field to get the seeds planted in a few days. Every man in the family, the field and the house were all labored by her alone.

To be honest, Xiao Ting felt sorry for her a little bit, she didn't know if it was the original owner of this body who felt sorry for her or herself.This cheap girl is sincerely treating her well, she can feel it, people's hearts are made of flesh, if others treat you unconditionally, they will always be moved more or less, and always want to repay something, so Xiao Ting He blurted out: "Okay, mother, don't worry, I will learn today, and I will wash all the clothes in the future. I don't want mother to be so tired."

"If you have this heart, mother will be satisfied, silly girl." Jing Niang felt very relieved, this girl became more and more sensible.

On the way home, Xiao Ting saw a Sapinberry tree similar to the one that other children used to play with when she was a child. Now there is no fruit on the tree, and because it has been too long, Xiao Ting can’t remember clearly. .

She thought that when she was a child, she picked the fruit of Sapindus chinensis and played with it. At that time, she was young and always liked to play with water, and then rubbed the fruit of Sapindus chinensis to play with it, just because it could make bubbles.

Later, grandma told Xiao Ting that she could wash clothes, wash hair, take a shower, etc., but Xiao Ting had never tried it.Xiao Ting thought about washing her hair today, to see if she could find some fallen fruits, maybe with luck, she could pick up some, even if they had been air-dried, it didn't matter.

So Xiao Ting squatted down there. Anyway, her cheap mother was holding the heavy little basket at the moment. Her cheap mother also carried two pheasants in one hand, one Xiao Ting's basket and the other hand. Carrying her big basket of wild vegetables that had been picked in the morning.

After Xiao Ting squatted down, she really found the dried Sapinberry fruit.Seeing Xiao Ting squatting down, the cheap lady asked casually: "What are you doing, get up quickly, and go home."

"Mother, I'm looking for the Sapinberry fruit."

"What is Sapindtia chinensis?" Jing Niang had never heard of Sapindantia chinensis, she saw Xiao Ting pointing at the tree and said: "Isn't this the oil tree, what do you want this fruit for, and you can't eat it."

"Mother, don't worry about it so much, you can help me find it, there should be all around here." Xiao Ting was too lazy to explain so much, so she said it directly to the cheap mother.

Seeing that her daughter was so serious about looking for the fruit of the oil tree, Jingniang didn't think too much about it. At most, she used it for fun. Her daughter has grown up so much, and there is nothing to play with. It is also possible to find some for her daughter to play with. I squatted down and looked for it.

It took half an hour for the mother and daughter to pick up all the dried Sapindus sativa fruits that could be seen around them.Xiao Ting specially found a big leaf and wrapped it up carefully.

Passing by the creek that she saw yesterday, Xiao Ting squatted down and studied those wild flowers again. She wanted to pick those more similar wild flowers and take them home to soak in her pheasant wool.And Jing Niang looked at her daughter squatting here for a while, and delaying there for a while, expressing that she was speechless, but her daughter always said that these were serious matters, and there was no problem, so she could only follow her.So when I went back, there were some more messy and fragrant wild flowers on the basket.

By the time I got home, the sun had already risen.Xiao Ting was already too hungry at the moment, Xiao Zhuzi was waiting at the door, watching from a distance that her mother and sister had returned, and ran up to hug the pheasant in Xiao Ting's hand, but how could Xiao Ting tolerate him? , I don’t even ask myself when I walk, let alone hug a living creature.

"Sister, sister, dick, little Zhuzi, hug" the little guy is still not very articulate, and he is still strongly asking Xiao Ting for a pheasant to hug him.

"No, wait for my sister to go back to the room and put it down so that Xiao Zhuzi can touch it, okay?" Xiao Ting played with Xiao Zhuzi as if coaxing a child.

Xiao Zhuzi looked at his mother, at his sister, and then at the grandma who was sitting in the yard. He heard his voice calling for his sister and mother, and was about to come out. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes , sister, dick, little pillar, play."

"Okay, let's play with Xiao Zhuzi later, let Xiao Zhuzi play with everything."

As soon as Niang San entered the fence gate, Mrs. Ruan greeted her.Her eyesight is not good, if she didn't hear her grandson calling sister and grandma again, she probably wouldn't have known they were back now.

"Jing Niang, why didn't you come back? You are so hungry. Eat first, then talk." She probably thought of what Xiao Ting said yesterday about being hungry. Granny Ruan didn't say anything at the moment, and let them eat first.
