Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

The thought of it made her drool. She really wanted to eat some meat. She had been here for some time and now she even dreamed about eating meat.

In the past, I didn’t think anything of eating meat every day, but now that I don’t have it, I feel how much I crave it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a touch of green by the stream not far away, which was very different from the other weeds. Could it be?

Su He suppressed the joy in his heart, quickly stood up, and ran towards the place he had just looked at, wanting to confirm his inner thoughts.

When Old Lady Su came out of the vegetable garden, she saw Su He running towards the stream for some reason. Her heart tightened and she shouted:

"Ah He, what's wrong with you? Don't go to the stream, be careful not to slip."

After saying that, he trotted after him.

Su He heard the voice and responded crisply without turning his head. He just wanted to see if that was what he was thinking in his heart.

Running to the stream, Su He bent down and squatted on the shore. He reached out and pulled a handful, looked at it carefully, and then put it under his nose and smelled it.

Only then did my previous thought come true. This is water celery. It smells very fragrant, even better than ordinary celery.

At this time, Old Mrs. Su also came to Su He's side. She watched her pull a handful of weeds, look at them and smell them, and now she had a silly smile on her face.

I complained in my heart: This kid, maybe he is bored because he hasn't gone out for too long, he is so happy to see the weeds.

Su He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Old Lady Su's expression, and quickly explained to her:

"This is water celery. I didn't expect there would be such a large patch of it by the creek. It's growing so well, yet no one is picking it."

After saying this, Su He was a little puzzled. Although water celery is just a wild vegetable, it tastes good.

There are so many of them but I don't see any signs of them being picked. Could it be that the people in the village don't know that there are such fresh wild vegetables growing here?

That's not right. Normally, the Su family eats mostly wild vegetables. This piece of water celery grows next to their own vegetable garden, but I've never seen anyone cook this dish on a normal day.

“Can this weed be eaten?”

Seeing the overly happy expression on Su He's face, Old Lady Su began to doubt her own thoughts.

Could it be that this thing growing by the stream is really not a weed, but the "water celery" that Su He just mentioned? Is it really edible?

"This is not a weed, it's a wild vegetable called 'water celery' and it's edible and delicious."

Su He explained with a smile, and then picked a large handful. After weighing them, he thought they should be enough for two meals, and he would come back to pick more after he finished eating.

Just as I was about to stand up, I saw the grass on the slope ahead...

It looks like wild mint.

When Su He thought of wild mint, he no longer cared about the water celery that he had just treasured, and put the water celery he had just picked in his arms aside.

I quickly ran forward, pulled away the weeds in front of me, took a closer look, and the smile on my lips gradually deepened. It was really wild mint.

I had just come back from the fields, carrying a bamboo basket that was just big enough to hold the freshly picked wild vegetables.

The wild mint tastes very fragrant, so Su He quickly started picking it.

Old lady Su behind Su He saw her granddaughter, who had just praised the water celery, suddenly put it down and ran to pick that thing.

"Ah He, why are you picking this? Can you eat this?"

Old Mrs. Su looked puzzled. Su He just said that the weed was a wild vegetable, and now she wants to pick this one too. Could it be that it is also an edible wild vegetable?

"This is called wild mint. It smells really good. I'll make it for you guys tonight."

Su He was a little frustrated at first because she didn't see anything edible after looking for a long time. But she didn't expect that there would be such good water celery and wild mint growing next to her own vegetable garden, and there was such a large area of ​​them that she could eat them for some time.

I haven't seen anyone in this village eating this. Old Mrs. Su frowned slightly, but she saw that Su He rarely came out and looked so happy now.

She didn't have the heart to pour cold water on her, so she could only gently remind her: "I haven't heard of this. I haven't seen anyone in the village picking them to eat. They all feed them to chickens."

Saying that they are feeding the chickens is already a polite gesture. When people in the village go to cut grass for the chickens, I never see anyone cutting this.

Su He understood the meaning behind Old Lady Su's words and chuckled softly. She didn't plan to argue. She would wait until the evening when she cooked it and let them taste it. After they had eaten it, they would know that what she said was true.

Seeing Su He was so persistent, Old Mrs. Su didn't say anything else. Anyway, there were still some wild vegetables picked yesterday left at home. If all else failed, they could just make do with it for one night.

Su He picked a large handful of water celery after a while, then stood up and picked up the water celery she had just picked.

"Grandma, let's go back. This is enough for us to eat."

After Su He put all the wild vegetables in the bamboo basket, Old Lady Su finally came to her senses and quickly responded, "Okay... okay..."

It's been quite a while since they came out. Su He's body might not be able to stand the wind for so long, so she needs to go back early.

Su He put the wild vegetables away and was about to take the shoulder pole to carry them back by herself. Seeing this, Old Lady Su waved her hands, picked up the bamboo basket quickly, and just told Su He to follow her.

Su He looked at his thin hands, thinking of Su Grandma's worried look just now, and shook his head helplessly.

Her body was indeed too weak. Perhaps because she had not been out for a long time, she looked a little pale.

Su He followed Su Grandma and walked quickly. It was the busy farming season, and they didn't meet anyone along the way. The two of them soon returned to the Su family.

Old Mrs. Su put down the bamboo basket, turned around and told Su He to go back to the house to rest first. She hurriedly took out all the dishes and chopsticks in the bamboo basket. They had to be washed quickly as she had to cook dinner later.

Su He shook her head and walked out for a while. Except for being a little thirsty, she felt pretty energetic. She drank some water and rested for a while. She would then process the wild vegetables she had just picked and eat these two dishes in the evening.

Seeing that Su He was determined, Old Lady Su no longer insisted. She just whispered to her to sit in the yard and rest for a while. It was not as windy as outside when she got home, and the sun was warm in the yard. It would be nice to sit and bask in the sun.

After saying this, Grandma Su turned around and went into the kitchen to busy herself.

Su He went into the main room, poured a bowl of water, tilted his head back and drank it down with a gulp. After finishing the drink, he instantly felt much better.

Her current physical condition is indeed not as good as before, so she should rest for a while.

She took a chair from the main room and went to the yard. The sun was shining brightly, so she basked in the sun and relaxed for a while.

Su He closed his eyes and slowly relaxed. He could hear the sound of Old Lady Su washing things in the kitchen. After a while, the sound gradually faded.

The only sound I could hear was the rustling of the breeze through the treetops outside the house and the occasional chirping of birds in the distance.
