The Pretty Military Wife
Chapter 54: Looking for Wild Vegetables and Encountering a Snake
He went back to the house and locked the back door. He took the sickle, thought for a moment, and went back to the house to give each of the two children a few more candies:
"Here, put it in your pockets. We'll find some wild vegetables later and you can have some candy."
"No, auntie, thank you, I haven't eaten yesterday yet."
Dongdong refused sensibly. Lanlan stretched out her little hand, but when she saw her brother refusing, she quickly retracted her hand behind her back.
Look at the candy, then look at my brother.
My brother's expression was very firm in saying no. Lanlan took two steps back and stood beside her brother and said:
"Auntie, no more. I still have some, but mom said I can only eat one a day. If I don't have any more, I'll come find you."
Dongdong patted his sister:
"You don't have it anymore, but your brother still has it. Your brother left it for you. You can't ask your aunt for it again. That would be bad of a child."
Lanlan looked at her brother in surprise. She didn't understand why her brother didn't eat such delicious candy?
Dongdong said sensibly:
"Aunt, let's go back and tell mom, we'll go out with you later."
Dongdong took Lanlan away, and Lanlan was a little reluctant to leave. She followed her brother and walked backwards, looking back at Liang Xinyue.
Liang Xinyue didn't ask to keep the candy, nor did she force the candy on the two children.
She felt that she had to respect her brother's upbringing.
Let my sister know what is right. If I take action now and insist on giving the child to her, it will make her brother less powerful and her sister less polite.
Liang Xinyue watched the two children go out. She put the candy in her pocket and would give it to them later.
But it can also be seen that Fu Chunhua taught Dongdong very well.
Liang Xinyue locked all the doors and then came out carrying a basket and a sickle.
Over there, Lanlan and Dongdong also pulled Fu Chunhua over.
"Sister Fu, where are the wild vegetables? I see that everything around here is barren."
Sister Fu was carrying a small backpack and said with a smile:
"Just over there where we collected firewood, go a little further, there are some wild vegetables. Usually, we give the children some steamed bread and some wild vegetable soup. With both vegetables and soup, the children will also eat very smoothly."
Liang Xinyue suddenly thought that according to the grain book Zhou Guoliang gave her, the amount of grain they could buy every month would probably be only more than ten kilograms. If they wanted to buy more, they would have to buy grain at the charity price.
Lao Chen only had so much food supply, which was enough for his family of four and for himself.
Liang Xinyue smiled and said:
"Let's go. I'll go with you to take a look. Your Dongdong is so sensible."
Then he told the story of what happened just now. Dongdong, who was praised, smiled with some embarrassment and happiness.
Fu Chunhua patted her son's head with satisfaction and said:
"Ever since this kid had a younger sister, he's been thinking of giving everything to her. He really dotes on her."
Liang Xinyue took out the candy again, this time dividing it into two portions:
"Dongdong is a good boy, and so is Lanlan. This is the reward given to you by your aunt. Take it, Dongdong, you can eat it. Try it."
Fu Chunhua came to block again:
"You gave them candy yesterday, and now you're giving it to them again. I won't let them play with you anymore. You can't give them candy every day."
This time Liang Xinyue must give:
"This is just the last bit. There's nothing left. Come back next time and I won't have anything to give you."
So, the candy was finally given to the two children.
Liang Xinyue followed them to the place where they had chopped firewood yesterday. Behind the bushes, there was another path.
"There was no road here before. We walked out here to collect firewood. Look, the view is different when you walk from here."
Yes, if you turn here, you will reach the other side of the mountain. When Liang Xinyue saw this place, she was very surprised. This is a valley within a valley.
The barracks were in the big valley outside, and behind this there was a small valley.
Compared to the desolation outside, the vegetation here is much better.
Liang Xinyue looked back and forth and found that the inside and the outside were indeed two completely different worlds.
Fu Chunhua had no interest in comparing the inside and outside of the valley. After entering, she wanted to see where there were wild vegetables.
"Come here, here we have what we call gray-gray vegetables in our hometown. And this one, water celery. Look, this kind of grass can also be fried and eaten."
Fu Chunhua is very experienced in finding wild vegetables:
"Back then, when we were at home, Xiang Qian was not at home, his mother was bedridden all year round, and his father had lung disease and could not do heavy work. There were also younger brothers and sisters. I was the only full-time worker in the family, and the work points I earned were not enough to feed them."
"So, we could only go out in the morning and evening to look for wild vegetables. During the hardest times, we ate anything with green leaves."
Chen Rudong listened to his mother very carefully:
"Mom, can this be eaten?"
Chen Rudong pointed to a kind of grass.
Liang Xinyue recognized it. It looked a bit like a clover, but smaller. In her original memory, it was called sour grass.
Liang Xinyue smiled and said:
"You can eat this for fun, but some people are not used to it because it tastes sour."
Lanlan picked the leaves and stuffed them into her mouth. Then her eyes and nose wrinkled together and she made a series of "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh":
"It's not delicious. It's not as delicious as candy."
Chen Rudong reached out and brushed off the leaves his sister had spit on his chin:
"You are stupid. Auntie told me it tastes sour, so I won't eat it."
Liang Xinyue didn't know many wild vegetables, and she had never dug many wild vegetables before. Because there were really no weeds left in the corners of the fields, so she planted everything that could be planted.
All the weeds that could not be planted were cleared away. Only around the graves of each family were there some weeds.
When it comes to finding wild vegetables, Liang Xinyue also humbly learns from Fu Chunhua.
Fortunately, there were a lot of wild vegetables on the side they were walking on, so both of them had a good harvest.
"This should be eaten fresh. This can be kept for two days. You and the captain can't eat much."
"Well, I can use it to make soup or cook it in porridge."
Liang Xinyue was very satisfied with today's harvest.
I have eaten some of these wild vegetables before, but in my previous life, I had to pay a high price to buy them.
Liang Xinyue cleaned up and found four kinds of vegetables for herself. She took a small bundle of each, which was enough to last for four days.
"Don't move! Lanlan, don't move! Mom..."
Liang Xinyue had just packed the wild vegetables when she heard Dongdong calling.
Turning around, I saw Lanlan standing under the tree over there, and on the tree there was a snake sticking its head out from between the leaves, spitting its tongue everywhere.
Lanlan was so stupid that she didn't realize that there was something less than two feet away from her head.
Dongdong was so scared that he could only call for his mom.
Fu Chunhua was happily cleaning up today's results when she turned around and saw the situation over at Lanlan's side.
He was so scared that his legs went limp, his face turned pale, and he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Liang Xinyue was also frightened, but her emergency response came out immediately.
I saw a lot of this kind of thing when I was studying at the Agricultural University in my previous life. There were also these things on the mountain where the experimental fields of the Agricultural University were located, but the girls who studied agriculture were not spoiled girls.
Liang Xinyue shouted in a low voice:
"Dongdong, squat down."
Because she, Lanlan and Dongdong formed a line, and Dongdong was in the middle.
