Started as an exile and became a mother, kicked the scumbag and spoiled the whole family
Chapter 121 Drying Herbs
"Yes, I also feel that I am very blessed. I think these five children are treasures given to me by God."
Su Miaomiao walked up to them and said.
"Stop working, go back to the house and take a rest. I can do the rest of the work myself."
The children always felt that they were a burden and a drag on their father and mother, but they never expected that their mother would actually say that they were a blessing and a treasure given by God.
At this time, the children's eyes were filled with tears after hearing these words and they were very moved.
They don’t know how to repay their parents, so they can only work harder to please their parents and make them happy.
The five children shook their heads in unison.
"No, we won't rest. We will help mother with more work."
"Yes, we need to work harder. Mom is tired. Let her rest more."
"Mom, go and take a rest. Leave these to us."
"There are many of us, and we will be done in no time. Mother, don't worry about us."
"Mom, when we grow up, we will definitely be filial to mom and dad, and let dad and mom enjoy the happiness with us."
The children spoke so seriously that Su Miaomiao was moved.
There wasn't much work to do anyway, and since the kids wanted to help so much, she didn't want to spoil their fun.
When there are more people the work gets done faster. In less than five minutes, they had piled up the remaining grass.
The yard suddenly became much cleaner.
Su Miaomiao looked at the flat and clean yard, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
It feels so good to be a family, thinking and working together, and watching life get better little by little.
The sun was too strong at the moment, so after cleaning the yard, Su Miaomiao quickly called Zhang Xing and the children into the house to rest.
The children went to their rooms to rest.
Su Miaomiao found that Zhang Xing came out soon after returning to his room, with the kang mat in his arms.
What is Zhang Xing trying to do?
Su Miaomiao asked puzzledly.
"What are you doing holding the kang mat?"
"Sister-in-law, I want to clean up the herbs and take them out to dry while the weather is good, otherwise they will get moldy."
It turns out that they wanted to dry the herbs.
I didn’t realize that Zhang Xing was so resourceful and thought of using the kang mat to dry the herbs.
There are too many things missing at home now, and we really can't find anything else that can be used to dry the herbs. I should buy Zhang Xing some special tools for drying herbs later.
Su Miaomiao thought so in her heart and nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it with you."
Su Miaomiao looked at the herbs and didn't know where to start, so she humbly asked for advice.
"Zhang Xing, I have never dried herbs before. You should teach me how to do it later. Otherwise, I don't know what to do."
"Okay, no problem. Sister-in-law, wait for me. I'll spread the kang mat outside first, and I'll come back and tell you how to do it."
After Zhang Xing went out, he looked around and thought it would be better to put it under the window to dry.
He only remembered to ask when he was making the bed, and shouted towards the house at the top of his lungs.
"Sister-in-law, is it okay to leave this kang mat in the sun? It won't get damaged, right?"
"Don't worry, I can't."
"Oh, that's fine."
Zhang Xing spread the kang mat as quickly as possible and then hurried back to the house.
He squatted on the ground and sighed.
"This kang mat is so good, I'm really reluctant to give it away. It would be great if I had something else to dry the herbs on."
Su Miaomiao couldn't help but tease when she saw this.
"I can't bear to part with it, but you've used it too."
"Because I have to dry the herbs. There are many herbs here that need to be dried. Herbs are so precious. They can cure diseases and save lives. No matter what, we can't waste them."
Zhang Xing spoke from the heart.
Su Miaomiao could see that in Zhang Xing's mind, nothing was as important as herbs, and nothing was as important as curing diseases and saving lives.
Such a good doctor should be respected by the world.
Su Miaomiao stopped teasing him and spoke seriously.
"Your eldest brother and I will go to town to sell bracken tonight. If you see anything that can be used to dry herbs, buy it back."
Brother and sister-in-law are going to town tonight?
He also wanted to go, but if he went there would be no one to look after the children late at night and no one would be at home, so he decided not to go.
Zhang Xing thought so and nodded.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, brother and sister-in-law. A winnowing basket or a clean wooden board can be used to dry the herbs, but a winnowing basket is best because it allows for good ventilation and dries quickly."
Su Miaomiao listened carefully and nodded.
"understood."
Su Miaomiao saw Zhang Xing still squatting beside her, wondering what he was thinking and was slow to teach her how to dry the medicine, so she couldn't help but remind him.
"Zhang Xing, please teach me how to dry the medicine. Let's dry it while the weather is good."
"Oh, right." Zhang Xing came back to his senses and picked up a piece of herb and said, "Let's remove the dirt on it first, clean it up, and then remove the dried leaves, diseased leaves, and incomplete leaves like this, and then put the same herbs in a pile and take them out to dry in the sun."
He paused and continued.
"After drying, different herbs need different processing methods. Some need to be fried, some need to be steamed, some need to be roasted, and some need to be cut into pieces. The preservation methods of various herbs are also different. These are more complicated. I can do it myself when the time comes."
Processing herbs is complicated, and Zhang Xing only gave a brief explanation.
He is professional, serious and meticulous when it comes to handling herbs.
He knew very well that Su Miaomiao could only help him with some basic work, so he had to do the complicated steps himself.
Even if others are willing to help, he would not dare to use it easily, because herbal medicine may change its efficacy or reduce its toxicity if it is not handled properly. This is not something to be joked about.
Therefore, he can only feel at ease if he handles some steps personally.
After hearing what Zhang Xing said, Su Miaomiao immediately started to clean the dirt and impurities on the herbs.
The two chatted while working. Su Miaomiao told Zhang Xing about the situation on Xiao Yunfei's side. Zhang Xing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.
At this moment, they had been cleaning up for half an hour. Su Miaomiao's neck felt a little sore, so she tilted her head back and moved her neck.
When Zhang Xing saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't realize it when we were in the mountains before, but now I realize that we have collected so many herbs without realizing it. I never thought there would be so many herbs in Ningguta. If I had known, I would have brought Master here to collect herbs earlier."
When he said this, he seemed to be full of energy, and his eyes were shining.
He was a little addicted to picking herbs, and asked with his chin raised.
"Sister-in-law, I want to go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow morning. Will you come with me?"
Su Miaomiao actually wanted to go as well, after all, the joy of picking up things for free was really great.
But she also had concerns in her heart. The most important one was safety. There were indeed many wild animals on the mountain and it was very dangerous.
Moreover, Xiao Yunfei had clearly told her not to go to the mountain again.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao shook her head and said.
"I won't go yet. Your elder brother knows that we encountered a tiger in the mountains. He is worried about our safety and won't let us go. I also think it is dangerous to go deep into the mountains. Your elder brother knows martial arts. If you want to go, wait until he takes a rest and go with him."
Zhang Xing was a little disappointed.
However, he felt that what Su Miaomiao said made sense. They didn't know much about the mountains here, and it was not worth risking their lives just to collect something.
He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then let's wait for my eldest brother to take a day off, but the problem is that my eldest brother only takes two days off every month, which is too little."
"Don't worry, once your brother completes his mission ahead of schedule, you won't have to go to work every day. Then we can go to the mountains together."
He had heard Cui Fangyuan say in the car before that it was almost impossible to complete the task ahead of schedule, and even if it could be completed ahead of schedule, it would not be possible until a few days.
Zhang Xing didn't have the heart to pour cold water on him, so he nodded sullenly and said nothing more.
Another half an hour passed before they had finished dealing with all the medicine.
Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing took the herbs outside together.
Zhang Xing spread the herbs evenly, his brows full of seriousness.
But for some reason, Su Miaomiao felt that Zhang Xing seemed to be worried about something. She felt this feeling shortly after they started working.
She asked casually while drying herbs.
"Zhang Xing, are you worried? If you have any problem, just tell me. We should communicate frequently as a family. If there is any problem, we can solve it together."
