Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 57 Flower Garden ([-])

The medicine prescribed by the doctor worked well, and Du Xiaoyu was able to get out of bed the next day. He hurriedly went to see Lin Song under the orders of Xie Xie benefactor. This man did not disappoint her. The sense of security is that there is one place that I can't figure out. He doesn't look like ordinary people. How could he think of opening a martial arts gym in the village?
In order to establish a good relationship, she went to Aunt Wu's place to play when she had nothing to do these few days, and she became acquainted with Lin Song very quickly. It is said that Bai Shihong failed to invite him that day, and Zhao asked Du Wenyuan to invite him again today. Du Xiaoyu When they heard it, they went to find Lin Song. Only the three of them knew the truth, and Lin Song immediately agreed to go with him.

For this meal, Mrs. Zhao specially asked someone to bring pork back from the town. Whoever let the hare meat run out, he must treat it well.

Bai Shihong was still the same, he regarded himself as a teacher, and at the dinner table, he gave Du Wenyuan advice on how to deal with the college examination. After all, he was experienced in this area, and the latter also listened carefully, occasionally asking a few questions, and a meal was considered a good meal harmony.

The day after tomorrow was the day to go to Fucheng, and when the time and place were agreed upon, Bai Shihong said goodbye and left. Mrs. Zhao took Du Wenyuan and sent him all the way to the field ridge before returning.

The atmosphere at home has been tense these past few days, and Du Xiaoyu will inevitably be affected.If Du Wenyuan fails in the exam, firstly, Mrs. Zhao will be sad and disappointed, and the family will be in disarray, and secondly, it will make Du Tang and others get what they want. psychological burden.

Because he himself has a high chance of passing the exam, but just like the college entrance examination, the most important thing is to perform on the spot. If you are abnormal, no matter how good you are on weekdays, it is of no use, and no one will admit it.

Du Wenyuan was very cooperative when he saw her like this. He didn't read a book the day before he left, and got together with his family to talk and help with housework.

In the evening, people came over there again, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Li came to the door in person, bringing three sons, two daughters-in-law, three grandchildren and several servants.

Du Xian rushed out to greet her, "Why are you here, mother?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "The eldest grandson is going to be a scholar, and he is busy with his studies. Can I, as a grandmother, not come? Don't I have to be pointed at behind and scolded, saying that I don't understand any feelings at all?"

"How could it be? I wanted to come and tell my mother before I left." Du Xian explained, "I won't be leaving until noon tomorrow, and I happened to pass by a village where there was an inn at night, so I would come to my mother's place in the morning of."

Mrs. Li glanced at Du Wenyuan, "Anyway, I haven't seen Wenyuan for a long time."

Mrs. Zhao stood at the door, "Since Mother is here, please come in quickly." She didn't greet anyone else.

Mrs. Bao snorted, "Does love not welcome us? Hey, mother, look, I brought so many things for free to my eldest nephew, and he doesn't appreciate it at all!"

"It's not an outsider, so I have to call you in?" Li Shi said and entered the room, Bao Shi stomped his feet hard and followed.

Du Tang stared at Du Wenyuan sideways, wishing he could eat him, he thought to himself that this kid is lucky, he just happened to meet someone who knows martial arts, otherwise he would be beaten to pieces, how can he be a scholar, hey , What a pity for his money, and he has to see a doctor for those three pustules!
Du Xiaoyu saw it and gritted his teeth beside him, he must deal with this villain in the future!

Several servants followed with two big bags.

Li Shi said, "It's for Wenyuan Road. There are clothes, food and food. You can't deal with it indiscriminately these days. You can't eat or wear clothes that are not good for you."

"When will it be?" Du Xian glanced at his wife, and hurriedly said, "Xiuzhi is ready, don't worry, mother, there is nothing missing."

"Oh, is that something that dislikes me?" Li's tone suddenly became cold.

Du Xian has been afraid of her mother since he was a child. If he hadn't met Mrs. Zhao, he probably wouldn't have changed in this life, but decades of habits still have an impact, "Yes, no, I will take Wen Yuan with her when my mother brings her." Going to Fucheng."

Satisfied, Mrs. Li looked around the room and shook her head, "Hey, it's leaking, the children are really wronged, Wen Yuan, come here." She beckoned.

Du Wenyuan stepped forward.

Mrs. Li took out a snow-white jade pendant from her bosom and handed it over, "This is your grandfather's. You are going to Fucheng, and I have nothing to give you. Take this with you to keep it safe. Be careful." Get a scholar and come back to win glory for our family!"

When Bao Shi heard this, he bit his lips angrily. This jade pendant is a good thing. I heard that the father-in-law used to carry it with him, but the old woman actually gave it to the boy. If things go on like this, will they not be able to send money to the fields in the future?She stretched out two fingers and pinched Du Zhang's arm beside her.

Du Zhang almost cried out in pain, seeing his wife's resentment, he put his arms around her shoulders, coaxing and whispering, "I will buy it for you in the future, don't make noise, it's not that I won't give you the jade pendant if I annoy my mother. "

Du Yi and Wu Shi, the third child over there, had no expression on their faces, but Du Feng glanced at Zhao Shi, only to see that her face was as dark as a piece of ice.

But you must not want it!Du Xiaoyu thought in her heart, judging from Bao's reaction, this thing should be very valuable. If Du Wenyuan wanted it, Zhao would definitely be furious, and according to Li's meaning, wouldn't it be equivalent to being a scholar for their Du family?
Du Wenyuan looked at the jade pendant for a while, then bowed to Mrs. Li and said, "Grandmother, I can't take this thing. Since it belongs to my grandfather, I should take good care of it. Besides, I don't know if I passed the exam or not. I can't embarrass my grandfather." Yes, grandma should take it back."

At this time, a stool behind made a slight sound, Du Xiaoyu looked back, and saw that Du Huanghua had touched her, she pursed her lips slightly, showing a gratified smile, it seemed that she was also very afraid of Du Wenyuan accepting the jade pendant just now.

Li Shi's hand froze there, she was a little confused for a moment what the eldest grandson was thinking, obviously she would come to see her some time ago, thinking that there was a change of heart, but now she is just like her mother again.She thought about looking at Mrs. Zhao, only to see Mrs. Zhao's eyes were shining, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, clearly an expression of complacency, and she almost couldn't hold the jade right now.

That's right, it was her son who was born in October!
Seeing the embarrassing scene and Du Xian not being very good at talking, Du Xiaoyu said, "Grandmother, second brother is right, this jade pendant is too precious for grandfather, where can I give it away? He can't stand it, grandma can come in person Seeing him is already the biggest encouragement, and the second brother will definitely do well in the exam."

"Yes, yes." Li took the opportunity to take the jade back, only to notice the granddaughter, and said with a smile, "After the new year, Xiaoyu has grown up."

Ever since she came here, this grandmother hadn't even looked at her, but now she finally took a look at her, Du Xiaoyu sighed, she is really not a cold-blooded person!In her eyes, only Du Wenyuan was considered valuable in their family.

Mrs. Li sat for a while and left. Mrs. Zhao was not in a bad mood this time, because she clearly had the upper hand this round.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Zhuoyu came to pick them up and brought two carriages. Wan Bingguang was really generous. Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but thank him. After saying some blessings, they boarded the carriage and headed for Fucheng. I heard that it takes seven or eight days to go back and forth to add the exam.

Only Mrs. Zhao was left in the family, and Du Huanghua was with her. Du Xiaoyu was really uncomfortable for a while.

Because Mrs. Zhao and Du Huanghua are very talkative, and although Du Xian is honest, he likes to listen to his little daughter and love her, not to mention Du Wenyuan. Without the two of them, the atmosphere is much duller.

One day, when Du Xiaoyu came back from herding the cows, he went into the house and lifted the wooden cage in which the rabbits were kept to the yard to let them bask in the sun. The four white rabbits were fat and healthy, but unfortunately the four rabbits were getting bigger and bigger. The more ugly, she thought about it, and decided to put them all back in the mountains.

Sitting on the small stool for a while, she stared at the field surrounded by Du Xian in a daze. After planting bitter gourd seedlings, the field would be useless, but it would be too wasteful to loosen the soil, fertilize it, and add good mud. It's better to plant something.

Thinking of her running to Mrs. Zhao, she said, "Mom, can I plant some flowers in the yard? It's the place where the bitter melon seedlings were planted last time?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't object at all, "It's up to you, it's useless anyway."

Du Xiaoyu was very surprised. She used to have to say a few words about everything, but this time it went so smoothly. She tentatively asked, "Can you expand it a bit? It will be beautiful when all the flowers bloom in the future!" In fact, she didn't think about it. It's not about planting flowers, but when I went back to the mountain, I saw wild flowers everywhere, so I wondered if I should move some back to try.

Zhao said, "Look for yourself, don't destroy the yard."

Really agreed, Du Xiaoyu was very excited, and immediately took a small shovel to toss the land, first removed the fence, and then expanded the scope of the flower garden again looking at the size of the yard. It's big enough for her to experiment with.

When Du Huanghua came back and saw her sweating, "Why, what are you planting again?"

"Plant some flowers first." Du Xiaoyu looked up and saw her red face, she was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that she had sunburned too much, her face would turn dark sooner or later, she had to buy some face protector for Du Huanghua some other day Useful, I will go to the town to learn embroidery in the future, it is always good to be decent.

"Planting flowers?" Du Huanghua didn't think it was a good idea, she shook her head and said, "What's the use of planting flowers? If you can't eat or use them, you might as well grow some vegetables. Chicken feathers are so tender. Don't you like them too?"

"Who says it can't be eaten or used?" Du Xiaoyu said, "I'll show you when I plant it."

Du Huanghua poked her on the head with a smile, "If it really works, the flowers on the mountain must be picked off. It's all over the mountain, so don't go and see it yourself."

Du Xiaoyu didn't refute anymore, anyway, she made up the ground to take a closer look at the flowers, and if they were suitable, she would pick them all up and put them away, who said they couldn't be used?After the flowers are dried, you can make scented tea, and you can also make pastries!
It seems that there is only green tea here now, and scented tea has not become popular. As for cakes, only sweet-scented osmanthus is used more, but sweet-scented osmanthus is mostly in the south, so it is not suitable for planting in Beidong Village.

In short, she had to plan well.
