Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Lan Qiyan looked around and found no weapon that suited her needs. She lifted her foot and took off one of her shoes. She had to beat the child today. She was so angry that her breasts hurt.

Yuze shook his head. Alas, this guy is always on the verge of making his mother angry. It’s better to give him a beating. He has a thick skin anyway.

The other brothers thought the same way. After all, there were many brothers, but only one mother.

Mother has only been here for one day, and they already have food to eat and a roof over their heads. Second brother is such a shameless man and still makes her angry. He deserves to be beaten.

Old Mrs. Yu continued to sew clothes, paying no attention to her grandson who was jumping up and down due to being beaten. The naughty boy just kept crying, and his mother didn't do much to stop him.

Lan Qiyan was out of breath as he chased after the kid. The kid was running pretty fast. "Stop right there, you little bastard. Grab the shovel and backpack and follow me up the mountain."

"You promise not to hit me?"

"I promise."

Yu Xiu walked over with a half-believing look, and Lan Qiyan slapped him with two big soles of his shoes, "Stinky boy, can't I hit you? What a joke, go back to work."

"Ha ha……"

"Haha, you deserve it, second brother."

Faced with his younger brothers' ridicule, Yu Xiu covered his butt and resigned himself to getting the backpack, which turned out to be a backpack with a hole in it.

Lan Qiyan looked at the blue sky helplessly. Although they were poor, the sky was blue, the air was fresh, and the children were obedient. So life was not impossible.

After sighing, she turned around and said, "The second brother and I are going to dig Ophiopogon japonicus. Xiaoze, you take your brothers to plant some vegetables. Do we have any vegetable seeds?"

"Yes, don't worry, mom. You have to be careful."

"Don't worry, we won't be back at noon, so don't skimp on the food. Everyone needs to eat their fill."

"Okay!" Yu Ze agreed, but it was up to him whether to do it or not. There was only so much food at home, and he couldn't eat like this, otherwise his mother would be under too much pressure.

Lan Qiyan was walking when he suddenly stopped. Yu Xiu followed him and dodged for a moment, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why did you stop?"

Lan Qiyan raised his hand and slapped him, but Yu Xiu dodged and said, "I didn't hit you, hehe."

"Hey, you bullshit, lead the way, I don't know the way."

Yu Xiu curled his lips, "I thought you knew me, but you left so quickly. It turns out you were just pretending to be rich."

"Are you going to leave or not? If not, go home and I'll ask your eldest brother to come over."

"Let's go, I'm most familiar with the roads in the mountains."

Yu Xiu walked for a while, then turned around and saw his mother still standing there motionless.

"Mom, what are you doing? It will be dark if you don't leave now."

Lan Qiyan looked at the sun and said, "You're just telling lies with your eyes open." It's not that she didn't want to leave, it's that she didn't see what Maidong looked like and was looking for pictures on Taobao.

So this is Ophiopogon japonicus, it is everywhere in urban green belts and park lawns.

At that time, she thought that this grass must be very cheap, otherwise why would people grow it?

However, the roots of Ophiopogon japonicus can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, warm the stomach and produce fluid, and target a series of symptoms caused by internal heat disturbing the heart.

However, it cannot be used for people with weak spleen. After all, it is a medicine and cannot be used casually to make soup. Too much is as bad as too little.

"Then let's go." Yu Xiu urged.

She flipped through a large number of pictures and finally found Maidong's. She grinned at Yu Xiu.

Yu Xiu felt cold from head to toe. Was she possessed by a ghost?

But it’s broad daylight, aren’t ghosts afraid of the sun?

He turned around, found a wild peach tree, broke off a branch and beat the monkey.

Lan Qiyan memorized Maidong's appearance and followed him.

Yu Xiu led the way, but the road seemed to be getting more and more remote, and there was no sun, so it was chilly.

"How did you lead the way, Yu Lao Er? Why is it so cold?"

Yu Xiu turned his head and said, "Mom, Ophiopogon japonicus likes shade and is usually found on the shady side of the mountain. Don't you know that?"

Lan Qiyan stopped and said, "Haha, haha, son, it's up to you from now on."

Yu Xiu doesn't know the meaning of her words yet, and is still feeling complacent. Even his mother has to rely on him.

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, mom. I'm here. Little Maidong is no problem."

Lan Qiyan nodded, "My son is capable."

While Yu Xiu was leading the way to find Maidong, she clicked on the introduction of Maidong on Taobao space.

It turns out that Ophiopogon japonicus grows in the shade of the hillside, and its root is a relatively good Chinese medicine.

If you are not a professional doctor, you will usually use this rhizome to make soup, but the taste is not particularly delicious.

After walking for an unknown amount of time and finally being sweaty, Yu Xiu finally stopped in front.

"Look, mother. This is a large area of ​​Ophiopogon japonicus. We can definitely dig enough for your needs today."

Lan Qiyan rubbed his hands together and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Yu Xiu put down the backpack, took out the shovel and started digging. As he was digging, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head and his eyes widened again!

"Mom, you are digging weeds. Can you please identify them before digging?"

Lan Qiyan looked at the weeds in his hand. "These are long, thin, flat leaves. Isn't this Ophiopogon japonicus?"

"This is it. Look at the roots. The roots you dug are long and thin. The roots of Ophiopogon japonicus are long and thin, but they all have a fat part. That is the key to using it as medicine."

Lan Qiyan scratched his head awkwardly, "Hey, I know, I know."

She threw the grass in her hand away, ran to the location designated by Yu Xiu and started digging.

After a while, Yu Xiu was very satisfied with Lan Qiyan's hard work, but when he looked behind her, his temples throbbed with anger.

"Mom, if you keep the green mountains, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Are you trying to make the Ophiopogon japonicus extinct by digging like this?"

Lan Qiyan looked back and saw that all the creatures, big and small, had been pulled out by her, but many were left behind Yu Xiu.

She stood up and said, "Son, go ahead and dig. I'll go see if there are any pheasants or anything."

"Okay, don't run around. If you get lost, I won't be able to find you."

"I see. Why are you so long-winded?"

Seeing that he had dug half of the basket, Yu Xiu stood up and prepared to move to another place. The moment he carried the basket on his back, he wanted to scream.

"Mom, what are you doing? That's wild boar feces. You thought it was clay. Why are you smelling it?"

Lan Qiyan quickly climbed up and said, "This is pig manure, and there are wild flowers on it!"

"Mom, if you keep hesitating, you'll be in trouble when the wild boar comes."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand, "I understand. You dig hard and I'll take a look around."

Half an hour passed, and the basket was full of Ophiopogon japonicus, which was pressed very firmly. Yu Xiu stretched and prepared to go back.

But after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find Lan Qiyan. He panicked, thinking that if he lost his mother, he would be beaten up.

"Mom, where are you?"

"Here, here, Yu Xiu has something good here. Is this tree a chestnut tree?"

Yu Xiu quickly ran over, "Mom, are you a monkey? Why are you climbing so high?"

"Yu Xiu, is this a chestnut tree?"

"Mom, those are sour plums. Even pigs won't eat them. Do you like them?"

Lan Qiyan climbed down using his hands and feet. "Then I won't eat it. Bring me the backpack. I picked up six pheasant eggs. Let's go. The pheasants will come soon. I'm afraid they will take revenge."

Yu Xiu put the pheasant eggs into the backpack, covered them with Ophiopogon japonicus, and then carried it on his back with all his strength.

Lan Qiyan snatched it away and said, "Let me carry it. It won't grow any longer if you keep pressing on it."

"Mom, I'm a man, I'll carry you on my back."

"You're just a kid, I'll carry you on my back. It's not tiring. You lead the way."

Yu Xiu: I’m so touched. Mom loves me so much.

Lan Qiyan: I’m so scared that the villagers will use moral blackmail on me, saying that this stepmother is abusing her son!
