Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 37
"Hey...you child. Come on, your feet are completely healed, you can come to me again, your mother knows where I live. But at least five days later, do you know that you are still not allowed to touch the water? Okay, you Rest first, I'm going back," Doctor Lu urged with a serious face.

"Doctor, please go slowly." Hearing the ready-made language teacher agreed, Xiaohua lay down on grandma's bed with happiness in her heart.

"Jing Niang, you go see the doctor, I'll make dinner." Granny Ruan saw that her precious granddaughter was fine, so she wanted to make dinner, and finally caught fire, otherwise she wanted to burn it again after it was extinguished. Get up, don't know when it is again.

"Okay, mother." After Jing Niang sent the doctor to the door, she looked back at her mother-in-law's room.Walking into the room, telling Xiaozhuzi not to make trouble with her sister, and at the same time telling Xiaohua to look at Xiaozhuzi, she went to help in the kitchen.

"Mom, what do you think? I owed another 15 big money unexpectedly. How long will it take to pay it back. Fortunately, Xiao Hua will get better."

"Hey, if you owe it, you owe it. Pay it back slowly, there will always be a way to pay it back."

After dinner in the evening, Xiaohua yelled for Jingniang to borrow a stone mill from the village chief's cousin's house, and she wanted to grind chili peppers into chili noodles (for spare).Xiaohua made a budget in her heart. Mother has time now, so she should prepare what she wants first.Then I wondered in my heart whether to make the bamboo shoots hot and sour or make the sour bamboo shoots first, and then make them hot and sour when I want to eat them.

Watching Jing Niang go out.Xiaohua pondered for a while and decided that today she will give half of the bamboo shoots to Xiaocao to make dried bamboo shoots for the market.Then the rest are usually made into sour bamboo shoots, usually hot and sour bamboo shoots.Otherwise, it can be directly made into hot and sour. I am afraid that the salt at home is not enough.

But generally speaking, the hot and sour bamboo shoots are winter bamboo shoots, which are a bit old and chewy after eating.I don't know how the spring bamboo shoots taste like, let's try it first.

When Jingniang came back, Xiaohua asked Jingniang to help grind the chili peppers into chili noodles.The bamboo shoots peeled yesterday, take one-third to Xiaocao’s family to make dried bamboo shoots, and the remaining two-thirds are exactly two parts, which is exactly half of the two methods.

So when Jing Niang finished grinding the chili noodles, Xiaohua asked Jing Niang to wash half of it and cut it into strips, then mixed it with salt and chili noodles (as for how much salt and chili noodles to put, I will let Jing Niang decide for herself. After all, her feet can't get wet, Jing Niang won't let her out of the room), then knead for a while, let it sit for a quarter of an hour, drain the water, put it all in the urn, squeeze it hard in the urn, squeeze the squeezed Pour out all the pressed water, then seal it well, and leave it for a month.

In addition, for making sour bamboo shoots directly, wash the bamboo shoots, cut them into strips, put them all in another urn, and then add water to cover the bamboo shoots.Direct seal, can not touch any drop of oil in the middle.Sealing is also enough for a month.

After listening to her daughter's request, Jingniang faithfully complied.I watched Jing Niang busy there all night.Here Mrs. Ruan finished her meal and put the small pillars on holiday for Xiaohua to watch. She took the straw coir raincoat to Wang Changgui's house to return it, and called the grass girl to come over to get the bamboo shoots.While Jing Niang was cutting strips, Xiao Cao Niang came over.After Xiaohua explained how to make dried bamboo shoots, she said that she remembered it and went home directly.But it's really not easy to find a place that can be ventilated in this rainy day. Fortunately, the eaves of their house are made wide. At that time, she thought it was different from other houses, but now she sees the benefits.

Before going to bed at night, Xiaohua asked Jingniang to help her put the grain seeds in a small urn, soak them in warm water to make the teeth grow better, then pick them in a place, wait for them to grow, and then plant the seedlings.Jingniang had been busy all day today, she was really tired, the house was wet everywhere, Xiaohua's legs were inconvenient, so grandma had to sleep on the same bed, Jingniang and Xiao Zhuzi slept on a dry place on the ground.The ground is covered with straw mats made of Xiaohua and Jingniang.After a while, the family was so tired that they were screaming.

It rained for five days straight.In the past five days, Xiaocao has visited Xiaohua, and reported to Xiaohua the situation of the dried bamboo shoots at home, and the results are as expected by Xiaohua.And she was ordered to stay on the bed by her mother and grandma, not allowed to get up.The main reason is that the house is wet everywhere, and it is possible to touch water at any time.This is not the most painful thing, it is the most painful when Xiao Hua has to go to the bathroom.There is no toilet in this house. The so-called toilet is just a hole dug with a broken thatched hut in the corner of the yard.Every time I go to the toilet, Xiaohua suffers a lot, and there is no modern toilet paper. Every time I use either dried thatch or that kind of big leaves, it is really comparable to primitive people.

Therefore, going to the toilet in the past few days, especially on rainy days, is something Xiaohua will never forget in her life.The thatched hut in the toilet also leaks, okay?And can't touch the water, so in order to ensure that her feet are dry.Jing Niang tied a lot of things, that foot... tsk tsk, I don't know how to describe it, it looks like a disabled person.

And the injury on Xiaohua's face has already healed, and it is not clear where the original serious injury is.The feet are also healed, as expected, there is no swelling or any scars, it seems that Dr. Lu has a background.This is too amazing, Xiaohua was deeply moved.

Just when Xiao Hua couldn't bear it anymore, the sky cleared up. If it didn't clear up again, Xiao Hua's house would collapse.Granny Ruan's room was also mostly wet, only the foot of the bed and Jing Niang's floor were not wet, I don't know if it was luck or misfortune.If it's lucky, it just so happens that the piece is still not wet and can still sleep. If it's unlucky, is there any house like hers?
As soon as the sky cleared, Xiaohua quickly poured out all the things at home to dry, otherwise it would become moldy.Fortunately, after the rain, the weather was much better and warmer than before.

Xiaohua took out the straw mats, quilts, clothes and so on in the room to dry.Since it has been raining for several days, Jing Niang went to the field early to check.Mrs. Ruan took Xiao Zhuzhu and went to visit.At noon, Mrs. Ruan came back and helped Xiaohua clean the house. Then, according to Xiaohua's request, she found a few unused pots, dug some wet mud, and sprinkled the germinated grain seeds soaked by Xiaohua into the wooden pots and It's in the urn.Xiaohua didn't know if this would work, so she thought about it and sprinkled another layer of firewood ash from the stove.

Jingniang doesn't need to carry water today, as it has been raining for the past few days, their house has taken a lot of water.Fortunately, there is no pollution in the air at this time, and the rain is also clean.Most people drink directly from rainwater, which saves them the trouble of carrying water.

After Xiaohua packed all these things up, she thought about it and went to Xiaocao's house again.Now Xiaohua is wearing Xiaocao's old shoes, stepping on the dirt road, walking cautiously to Xiaocao's house.

"Xiaocao, I'm here, are you home?"

"Here, come in."

When Xiaohua walked in, she saw Xiaocao was busy washing clothes and drying quilts.

"Xiaocao, let me help you. Why don't you wash your clothes at home? Why don't you go to the river." Xiaohua asked puzzled.
