Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 236

She slowly got up from the ground, found a branch and carefully dug out the root of the grape tree and brought it back.

She wanted to turn this mountain grape into the biggest and sweetest grape, Xu Xiaomi took the vine and walked home quickly.

When she got home, she found a quick knife and cut the vines into six-inch sections.

Then, cutting one end apart from the root, she took all the vines to the back of the house, leveled a field, and planted them all.

Finally, get well water and pour the land completely, sprinkle plant ash on it, and then cover it with straw.In this way, even if the grape seedlings are planted.

After finishing all this, she was hungry, walked in the door, and went to the kitchen to see what delicious food her mother had made?

At first glance, there are braised pork ribs, and the famous Jiangbei dishes that Xu Xiaomi taught her to make-peanut fish, pork stir-fried cabbage, pickled pork with pickled vegetables, and fish head with kimchi.More people cook more dishes, and they are all placed on the stove in large pots.

Xu Xiaomi looked at the pot of kimchi fish head and thought: Oh!It would be great if there was tofu, this fish head stewed tofu is a very nutritious dish!
Tofu!Hehehe!Should I make some tofu and eat it?Although that doesn't go for retail sales, you can also take it to restaurants!
right!After eating, come to experiment with making tofu, oh!Making tofu requires special tools, which I don’t have at home!
Later, I will draw all the tools to be used by my grandfather, and ask him to make two sets. Then, I will be able to eat nutritious and delicious tofu.

Xu Xiaomi washed her hands and was about to come in to help, but she was stopped by her grandmother and said, "We are enough in the kitchen, you don't need to join the party, go to the living room and wait, the food will be here soon."

Xu Xiaomi looked at the dishes, although the dishes were not very attractive, but now his stomach was growling, and he kept swallowing when he saw that there were fish and meat.

Xu Xiaomi was driven into the living room by her grandmother, and her stomach kept protesting.Xu Xiaomi thought helplessly: Oh!very hungry!It’s true that people depend on food!

Sitting on the chair, she suddenly remembered that she was hungry, and Zhou Yin and the others who had worked all morning were even hungrier.She hurriedly got up to call the people who were still busy in the backyard.

Xu Xiaomi called Zhou Yin and the others, and waited for them to wash their hands before returning to the living room together.

At this time, there was already a pot of braised pork ribs on the big round table, and grandma was still serving food from the kitchen. Zixia saw that she went to the kitchen with Yunxia, ​​and the two of them were holding a pot of vegetables in their hands after a while. came out of the kitchen.

After a while, my mother and grandmother came over with a dish in their hands.

When the food was ready, Xu Xiaomi called her grandfather and father to sit down and eat together.

Father Xu Erqiang went to saw wood with his grandfather today. They knew that Xu Xiaomi's plan would soon use wood, so they had to prepare it there quickly, and it would be ready when it was needed.

After dinner, everyone went about their own affairs.Xu Xiaomi heard from his uncle yesterday that all the equipment used in the mill has been finished, and he is waiting for Xu Xiaomi to say when to install it.

During the meal, Xu Xiaomi mentioned it to his grandfather, and at this time, his grandfather was starting to make a waterwheel.

Although the old mill was burned down, the stone mill inside was still usable.Therefore, this process is reduced.

At this time, Xu Xiaomi went to the place where he hid his things in the mountains, and took out the tung oil that had been squeezed before. After grandpa finished the waterwheel, he could use tung oil for antisepsis.

When this matter gets busy, it feels like flying, it goes by so quickly!One afternoon, Xu Xiaomi went to get the tung oil back, and drew another set of utensils for making tofu, and it was getting dark.

Zixia helped her light up the Qixin lamp in the room, and she asked Zixia to call Xu Xiaoting to her room.

Xu Xiaoting has been working hard on the fabric design for the past few days, and her eyes are almost nearsighted. She can't be made to work so hard anymore.

At this time, Xu Xiaoting was taken to her sister's room by Zixia, she seemed not happy.

He called Xu Xiaomi sullenly: "Sister! Are you looking for me?"

Xu Xiaomi was sitting at the table drinking tea, and when she heard her sister calling her, she raised her head and looked at her younger sister, who was more attractive under the light, and said, "Come on? Why don't you come in soon? Come in and let my sister have a look!"

Xu Xiaoting walked in honestly and stood in front of Xu Xiaomi.

She looked at Xu Xiaomi and asked, "I don't know why my sister is looking for my sister?"

Xu Xiaomi smiled slightly and said, "What? Are you in a hurry? Silly girl, how old are you? You don't have to worry about making money. Sit down and talk to your sister for a while."

"Sister—sister, you can't spoil me like this. I'm 12 years old this year. My sister remembers that my sister was only nine years old when she was running the family! How can I be as old as my sister today?"

After listening to her sister's words, Xu Xiaoting retorted unwillingly.

"Hey... are you against my sister? At that time, you also knew that the family was about to be destroyed, and if my sister didn't support the family, we would all starve to death!
Now, our family doesn't need you to work so hard. My sister doesn't want her younger siblings to suffer the same crimes she did back then.

What's more, I don't want my sister to lose sight of her parents, sisters and brothers early on.Is it still useful for us to ask for so much silver?
With our current family business, it’s no problem to support you. You don’t have to worry about money. Parents, grandparents, and grandparents all hope that you can grow up happily and carefree, do you know? "

After hearing her sister's rebuttal, Xu Xiaomi stretched out her hand to pull her sister to sit beside her, and said.

Xu Xiaoting listened to what her sister said to herself, full of love and affection, she was so moved that she threw herself into Xu Xiaomi's arms, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister—sister! Thank you! Thank you for being so kind to us, thank you for your hard work back then, and thank you for your care now. Xiaoting has cultivated for countless lifetimes to meet such a good sister in this life."

Xu Xiaoting spoke her heart in Xu Xiaomi's arms.Sisterhood is deep!

Xu Xiaoting remembers that when she was a child, every time her sister and father came back quickly, she would sell her and her brother the more precious candy to eat.

Although her memory before the age of four was not very clear, she was already five years old when her sister was sent back by the Zhang family.

At that time, looking at her sister with a blue face, her heart throbbed with pain. When her father dug the hole and was about to bury her sister.

Both she and her elder brother rushed to protect her elder sister's body, and her mother, who wanted to cry without tears, also came to intercede, so my father gave up...

That scene has always appeared in her dreams all these years, and every time she dreams about it, she wakes up crying.

Today, when she heard her sister love her so much again, she felt that she was hurt by her sister's palm.

She swore that in the future, no matter what the circumstances, she would put her sister and parents first, because no one in this world would treat her so well except for them.

Seeing that her younger sister was always crying in her arms, Xu Xiaomi quickly pulled her out and said, "Why don't my sister teach you some jokes! From now on, when my sister is not at home, you can tell your grandparents, grandma, and parents."

As soon as Xu Xiaomi finished speaking, Xu Xiaoting asked nervously instead of agreeing: "Sister! Where are you going?
After you left Dingzhou last time, every time my mother and grandma mentioned you, their eyes would turn red. You can't leave us, please don't go anywhere, we need you! "

Xu Xiaoting got into her arms again as she spoke.Xu Xiaomi felt sore after hearing this, nodded and said, "Well! From now on, my sister will not leave! I will stay by your side."

The two sisters were talking vigorously when they heard Zixia calling them to have dinner outside the door.

Xu Xiaomi responded, got up and dragged her sister out of the room, into the hall, and had dinner with everyone.

From then on, Xu Xiaoting only worked in the room for four hours a day, and in the rest of the time, she followed Xu Xiaomi to learn how to draw.With a teacher like Xu Xiaomi teaching her, she will soon be able to draw something by herself.

The days go by really fast, today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the wine making has entered into full swing, and everyone got up early.

Xu Xiaomi's mother, Zhou Yuqing, also got up early today, and she made Laba porridge before dawn.

At this time, she was about to go to the backyard, and asked the brewers to come in and have some hot porridge before going to work.

At this time, I heard the door being slapped, and someone was calling: "Aunt Xu! Open the door quickly! Uncle Xu! Open the door quickly!"

Zhou Yuqing heard that the voice was very familiar, so she walked to the gate and opened it in three steps. In front of her was Qiu Yongzheng, dressed in blue cloth with frost and mist.

I haven't seen him for several months, and he has lost a lot of weight. She thought to herself: My God!Is it that hard to be an emperor?It's so thin.

Actually, she didn't know!In the past few months, Qiu Yongzheng has been thinking about Xu Xiaomi, afraid that Xu Xiaomi will not forgive him if he knows the truth, and ignore him for the rest of his life. He has trouble sleeping and eating in the palace!
Seeing Zhou Yuqing open the door but not letting him in, Qiu Yongzheng shouted anxiously, "Auntie! Can you let me in first? It's cold outside!"

Zhou Yuqing heard Qiu Yongzheng say this, looked at his simple and flimsy attire, and knew that he didn't come here to be the emperor.

He didn't say anything, just turned his body to the side, let half of the door out, and let Qiu Yongzheng in.

Qiu Yongzheng left the capital and came directly to Xujia Village, which was written to him by Tong Gang, the Dingzhou guard.

He didn't come out to look for it before, because he really didn't know where Xu Xiaomi went in a fit of anger?
Now that I know, how could he not come to find his beloved girl?

Therefore, he left the palace in anger, just to show Qiu Qiming and Qiu Zhongxiang, mainly because he had already obtained accurate information about Xu Xiaomi.

He traveled day and night on the road, but he was afraid that the horse would be exhausted, so he could only walk and rest.So, just walked one more night.
