Chapter 7 Picking Grapes

There is one bad thing about ancient times, that is, there is no entertainment life, no TV, no computer, no mobile phone, Su Zi feels that it is very difficult to adapt.

In order to save fuel at night, Su's mother doesn't let her turn on the lights, so she eats early and goes to bed, and wakes up early during the day.

This is also something Su Zi can't adapt to. Before time travel, she was the type who didn't sleep at night and woke up in the morning. Now that she's fine, she has to change everything.

But after a few days, I feel pretty good. At least I’m much healthier, and I’m tired from going up the mountain during the day, so it’s easy to fall asleep.

The mountain village is not hot even in summer, and the environment is good and quiet. Su Zi thinks this kind of life is not bad.

She herself is easy-going, and she often went to the mountains when she was studying, especially in summer. It is very comfortable to go to the mountains to escape the heat, so Su Zi has adapted well after a few days.

Early the next morning, I simply had breakfast and went up the mountain. Originally, the mountain village usually skipped breakfast during the slack season, and only had two meals a day to save food.

But because we had to go up the mountain, we had to eat something before leaving.

Su Zi and Su Lan lead the way. They each have a basket. The difference is that Su Bai and Su Qing's are bigger, and Su Zi and Su Lan's are smaller. Su Zi brought the cloth bag again, thinking Pick up whatever you see.

Because they have been here once, Su Zi and Su Lan's ability to remember roads is good, so they quickly found the mountain grape.

This time the preparations were adequate, and everyone brought knives, so it was much easier to pick. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to unscrew it by hand, and it would take a long time to unscrew it, and a lot of grapes would fall.

Su Bai and Su Qing were picking them here, and Su Zi took Su Lan to find some other ones nearby, and they had to cover them up anyway.

I dug some herbs and picked up some mushrooms. Su Bai and Su Qing also picked a lot here. Su Zi and Su Lan came to pick them together. When the baskets were full, there were no more grapes on the vines. Everyone sit down and rest for a while, eat some grapes and head home.

"It would be great if it was planted in our yard, and it can be picked anytime." Su Qing sighed while eating.

"But it might not be possible to survive such a big move." Su Lan said regretfully.

This reminded Su Zi, she knew that grapes usually survived by vine cuttings, but she wondered if wild grapes could also survive.

"Then let's cut some branches and go back to try." Su Zi thought of it and said.

"Can the branches survive?" Su Bai knew that the willow tree could live if the branches were inserted, but would grapes also work?
"I don't know, but it doesn't take much trouble to try it. What if you survive." Su Zi is really not sure. She studied plant economics back then, but she returned it to the teacher after the exam. Who knows what to do? do it.

"Yes, try it, I'll go cut the branches." Su Qing is a man of action, so he immediately went to find the branches.

"Look for thicker and darker branches, it should be easier to live." Su Zi ordered from the side.

"Okay, I'll cut a few more branches." Su Qing agreed casually, and his men didn't stop.

Su Lan is also very happy. It would be great if she could grow food in her own home.

Su Bai is not optimistic, he thinks it's too unreliable, but seeing his younger brothers and sisters so happy, he didn't say anything, it's rare to be happy, so let's try, if it doesn't work, he will comfort himself later.

Su Qing cut a few branches over, they are going home too, it's already noon, if they don't go back, their parents should worry.

So the group went back the same way, carrying heavy loads, and they didn't walk very fast, but they still rushed home before lunch.

Su's father and Su's mother were very happy when they saw that they had picked so much. Even Su Zi said that they were cutting grape vines in the yard, but Su's mother didn't say anything.

The Su family has a large population, so the house is relatively large, so the yard is naturally relatively large. Usually, Su's mother grows vegetables in the yard, and raises chickens and pigs in a corner of the yard, so there is not much open space left.

If it wasn't for Su's mother being happy today, she might not have agreed to let Su Zi toss some grape vines in the yard, so it was a coincidence.

Su Zi started cutting, Su Lan and Su Qing were watching, but Su Bai didn't go over to join in the fun.

Su Zi planted a total of fifteen plants, and she thought that at least one plant could survive.

Afterwards, Su Zi and Su Lan helped Su's mother cook again. After finishing lunch, everyone was going to get busy again. At this time, they heard the sound of knocking on the door.

Who will it be at this time?Everyone was puzzled, but Su Lan still went to see them. It was Dr. Zhang's wife Wei Shi who came in. Wei Shi is also in her 30s this year, and she and Dr. Zhang had their first child for more than five years.

Perhaps because of the better living conditions, Wei Shi is much younger than other women in their 30s in the village. In fact, Su's mother is only in her 30s, two or three years older than Wei Shi. But like two generations.

Wei Shi is different from other women in the village. She seldom gossips with others and smiles gently when she sees others. However, the women in the village do not provoke her. She feels different, but what is different about her? , they can't tell.

Su Zi knew that it was her temperament. Wei was not like a peasant girl, but rather like a lady from a rich family. This temperament is rooted in her bones and will not change because she is now in a peasant family.

Wei's appearance is only delicate, but she feels very comfortable, like a spring breeze. Su Zi can also think of the reason why other women in the village don't provoke her. It's not that they can't afford to provoke her, but they don't want to. She would unconsciously lower her voice when speaking to her, trying her best to be as gentle and courteous as possible.

From this point, it can be seen that Wei Shi is a woman with a story, which also made Su Zi interested in her.

"Hello, Aunt Wei." Su Lan hurriedly greeted her. She liked this soft-spoken aunt very much, and felt that talking to her was a few levels higher than herself.

When she found out that it was Wei Shi, Su's mother hurried over and grabbed her, "You have time to come out, come in and do it." After pulling Wei Shi into the room and sitting down, she ordered: "Zi girl, hurry up and give it to me." Your Aunt Wei washes some grapes, and the blue girl goes to pour tea for your Aunt Wei."

"Don't be so troublesome, you are too polite." Wei said with a smile, looking at Su Zi and the family without any trace.

She came today with a mission to propose marriage to Li Qingshan, if her family hadn't been begging for it, she wouldn't want to do it.

She doesn't care about those reputations, but the people in the village can't help it.Su Zi looked good, and she was pretty too, but she was afraid of the little girl's mind, and only liked those white-faced scholars, just look at Li Qing who was engaged to Su Zi before.

So she was also afraid that if people didn't want to, but she married because of her reputation, and it was her fault that she became a resentful spouse in the future.

Being a matchmaker is not so easy to do, but Li Qingshan's family has no elders, so she is still close to their family. She also feels sorry for the child's loneliness, so she bites the bullet and comes here to try.

When I went to the house, I found that Mother Su was neat. The house was clean inside and out, and there were fungus and mushrooms drying in the yard. If she read correctly, there were some herbs. There are a lot of them, so I recognize them.

Su Zi has clear eyes and is a pleasing girl. Now she is relieved, thinking that maybe these two children can really succeed, so she treats Su's mother more closely.

Su Zi brought up the grapes, put them on the table, took a plate and put it in front of Wei Shi, and said with a smile: "Aunt Wei, try it, these are the mountain grapes we picked in the mountains, they are delicious .”

"Ai, sister-in-law is really lucky to have such two beautiful and sensible daughters." Wei Shi said just as Su Lan came in with tea.

"What good luck or bad luck? I can't stop worrying about it." Mother Su said with emotion, thinking of Su Zi's matter, she still couldn't help being sad.

Knowing that she was thinking about Su Zi, Wei quickly changed the subject and talked about something else.But Su's mother could also hear that Wei Shi had been talking around Su Zi, and then she probably knew what happened to Wei Shi's coming here today.
