In the book, I was fed by my sister

Grandma Gu followed closely behind, "I made pickled cucumbers this morning and went in. The vegetables in your small vegetable garden are growing well!"

Song Ran opened the bamboo fence of the small vegetable garden. The last time she went to the city to sell vegetables, she had already weeded almost all of the vegetables in this field. Now, just a few days later, the field was full of fruits again.

"Oh my God, it grows so fast!" Song Ran exclaimed.

"Really? It seems that the ones in my garden are growing better and faster than those in my garden." Grandma Gu also took a look at the vegetable garden.

Song Li went to the vegetable garden every day to check her abilities. Grandma Gu picked vegetables to eat every day, so she didn't think much of it, just thought it seemed to grow better. Auntie had been away from home for several days, and suddenly she saw that the eggplants, thumb-sized water melons, and walnut-sized pumpkins that had just emerged before she left were all ripe.

The eggplant trees looked like bunches of gourds, weighing down their slender branches. The water chestnuts were even more exaggerated, growing out from the branches in all directions. The melons in front were not yet ripe, but new melons with yellow flowers were popping up in the back.

Grandma Gu clasped her hands together and said sincerely: "This is the blessing of the land god. He has given your family such a great blessing. We must go and worship him."

Song Ran picked up Song Li and looked at his little sister's fair and tender face, resisting the urge to take a bite: "If you ask me, it's all thanks to my little girl. She weeded, watered, and even applied the fertilizer. The land god couldn't do that."

"Hey! We can't offend the gods."

Song Ran knew that Grandma Gu was devoted to Buddhism, and she didn't want to argue too much about it. "Okay, okay, then take me with you to the temple fair next time."

Smoke from cooking began to rise in the village. Song Ran smelled the smoke and said, "It's almost noon, let's cook. The two egg buns we had this morning won't satisfy our hunger."

Grandma Gu remembered the two taels of meat she bought before she went to pick up Song Ran and said, "I thought you wouldn't be very energetic when you came out, so I went to the morning market to buy two taels of meat before I went to pick you up. I wanted to wait for you to come back and make you minced meat porridge to nourish your appetite. Now that I see you are in good spirits, I will let you decide on the meat?"

"Let me think about it..." Song Ran looked at the vegetable garden and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go pick some larger mushrooms from the basket. Last time, the wealthy owner said that they were exactly the same as those grown in the mountains. I wonder if they taste good? Since they didn't come back to bother me, I guess they are about the same. So let's try the mushrooms we grew today so I can have an idea of ​​the selling price."

Grandma Gu nodded and said, "I just saw the size and color. They look good. If they taste good enough, you will have to sell these baskets of mushrooms for a lot of money!"

"Okay, then, let's have mushroom and meat soup for lunch, and cut some minced meat to make minced meat eggplant." After Song Ran said that, he picked three big, smooth and straight eggplants from the eggplant bush behind him.

Song Ran put the eggplants into the gourd ladle, washed them, cut them into pieces with a rolling knife and put them in a bowl. Then he went to the backyard and picked out large mushrooms from several baskets and put them in a colander.

Grandma Gu turned on the fire starter, blew on it, and when she saw a red light, she picked up a twig, lit it, and threw it into the stove hole.

"Look, I've collected half a basket of palm-sized mushrooms." Song Ran walked out from the backyard and shook the basket in his hand.

Song Li glanced at the mushrooms sticking out of the basket and smacked her lips. She seemed to have tasted the freshness and smoothness of the mushroom soup.

After a while, the sound of chopping meat in front of the stove came into the yard through the raised wooden window. After picking up the newly grown weeds in the vegetable garden, Song Li moved a stool and sat in the sun, watching her sister busy in the kitchen.

"Look." Song Ran said to the old lady and pointed towards the yard.

Grandma Gu raised her bent back and craned her neck to look into the yard. Song Li was sitting in the sun, carefully looking at everything in the kitchen, like a golden Buddha doll in meditation. "Little Li is really well behaved."

"Haha, who does she resemble when she looks so serious? She has become calmer now that she is well. I was worried that she might have lost her mind at first."

"It's a blessing from God. It's better for Xiaoli'er to be obedient. You won't have to worry as much as being a mother before you get married."

Song Ran was silent when she heard the word "marriage", but she did not stop mixing the meat. She put lard and ginger slices in the pot to sauté, poured in the washed mushrooms, added a little salt to fry out the moisture in the mushrooms, and poured in a bucket of water. As the water "gurgled" and boiled, the aroma of the mushroom soup began to drift into the yard. In the mist, Song Ran frying the meat slices coated with egg liquid.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with my little girl. If she gets married and wants me as her older sister, I will take care of her baby. If she finds a son-in-law, I will be the head of the family."

After hearing what Song Ran said, Grandma Gu quickly said, "Oh, there's still a long way to go in life. You're like an old nun in a nunnery. You will always meet the right person who treats you well." She knew that Song Ran's marriage was bumpy. His parents died and he only had a young sister. Several families who were interested in arranging a marriage at that time all stayed away from him.

Those people envied the fields and houses that Song Ran owned, but were also afraid of Xiao Li'er, who spent a lot of money on medical treatment.

Song Li recovered from her illness, and some people began to inquire about Song Ran's marriage. However, these interested people always asked indirectly how much Song Li had recovered from her illness.

Will it relapse?

Song Ran felt cold after hearing these words. She was unmarried, and these fields could still provide her and her sister with a way out. If she got married, could she keep these fields? How long could she keep them? Some families didn't care about their daughters at all. What kind of situation would her sister fall into then?

"Let's take it one step at a time." Song Ran knew that Grandma Gu was a worried person, so he quickly added, "Grandma, you have to carefully screen my future husband for me."

"Hey! This old woman may not have good legs and feet, but she is very good at judging people. Don't worry, Ran'er, I will check for you when the matchmakers come to talk about things in the future, no matter how exaggerated they say it."

The noise in the kitchen was not loud, but Song Li could hear it clearly. It turned out that she was the "burden".

It’s better for Ajie not to get married, because getting married means having children, and in her memory, many outstanding female supernatural people have died because of this.

Now vegetables can be sold and mushrooms can also be sold. From the previous conversation, it seems that the family still has land. When the land is brought back, she can use some of her supernatural powers. My sister and she, and of course the little old lady can also be included. The three of them will have no worries about food and shelter.

Song Li thought about it this way and felt that she could pretend to be sick to justify her title of "burden".

The sound of chopping meat could be heard in the kitchen. The eggplant in the pan had been fried until it was soft, and the minced meat was poured in to bring out the aroma.

Song Li could now tell how long it would take for dinner to start by listening to the sounds and smelling the food. She put away the small chair and took three sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the dining table.

"Knock, buckle, buckle~"

There was a knock on the gate at this moment.
