Before I got to Zhou's house, I had already met people from the Zhou family who were picking dewdrops. Some of them were holding bowls, and some were holding basins. When Grandma Zhou saw the honeysuckle, she shouted, "Erhua, Erhua, Grandma is here."
Someone nearby laughed, "Oh my, this old lady has sharp eyes at her age. In such a dark night, she can still see clearly that it is Erhua?"
Grandma Zhou snorted proudly: "That's right, my family picks the most dew every Dragon Boat Festival. We wash it all the time, and our ears and eyes are sharp. You young people can't compare to you."
No matter how much truth there is in these words, when others hear them and think about the purpose of getting up this morning, their words will be shattered.
Grandma Zhou was anxious, "Why are you running? Hey, Erhua, hurry up, don't let them pick all the dew."
Hua Jindong had already reached Grandma Zhou's side, holding her arm and trying to hold back a smile as he said, "It's okay, it's okay. How can they pick all the dew all over the mountains and fields?"
Taking the opportunity, he injected some more supernatural powers into Grandma Zhou's body. Grandma Zhou immediately felt healthy and patted Hua Rendong's hand, "That's why I love Erhua girl. I feel energetic just when you stand next to me."
A very low cold snort came from the side. If Hua Rendong hadn't had good hearing, he would have almost missed it. He turned his head and looked over, only to see Zhang Yun's chin raised in disdain.
Hua Rendong was too lazy to argue with her, but this troublemaker was really annoying. She didn't want to get involved in the Zhou family's affairs, but this woman had already snorted in front of her, and she was so shady, she couldn't let go of her anger unless she taught her a lesson.
During the rest of the journey, Zhang Yun was tripped by the grass roots from time to time, and fell down more than a dozen times in a row. Grandma Zhou couldn't bear to watch, "Zhang Yun, is there something wrong with your foot today? You are worse than an old woman like me, why don't you go back and help Yanhong make breakfast."
Zhang Yun was also scared of falling. If an ordinary person fell, no matter how unlucky he was, he would fall two or three times at most. She was obviously very careful, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead. She fell more than a dozen times. She didn't believe that she didn't bump into something.
She agreed and walked back, taking cautious steps, but she still fell twice in front of everyone. Grandma Zhou was helpless, "Chunlan, Xiahe, you two should help your mother and go back together."
Zhou Chunlan and Zhou Xiahe were originally reluctant to be woken up, but after hearing what Grandma Zhou said, they hurriedly followed Zhang Yun back.
This time, not only did Zhang Yun fall down several times, but his two daughters also fell down. Everyone was shocked and thought: Zhang Yun must have bumped into something. It’s better to stay away from her for the next few days to prevent her from getting hurt.
It rained a few days ago, and the dew this morning was particularly heavy. Honeysuckle used a small bowl to collect half a bowl of dew, and his sleeves and trouser legs were all wet.
It is still a little cold in the early morning in the countryside. It is because Hua Yindong has good physical fitness in this life and is not afraid of cold or heat during cultivation. If it were the body in the previous life, he would probably shiver from the cold.
It was still dark at this time, and Honeysuckle took a break and found a place to sit in the grass, using the supernatural powers and space he had released to collect dew.
Suddenly, I sensed a person lying in the bushes ahead. At first, I thought he was someone who came to collect dew with me. Gradually, I realized that the person was motionless, but his breathing was steady, and he didn't seem to have fainted. Was he hiding? Or was he ambushing?
The supernatural power explored further into the distance and discovered several people lying motionless, and Xia Yu was also found among them.
My goodness, she didn't come back all night, and she's lying here? That's not right, where's her car?
At this time, Xia Yu was lying in the puddle, soaking wet, shivering with cold. People were coming and going in front of him, and he dared not move. I don't know if they are unaware of the custom of getting up early to collect dew during the Dragon Boat Festival, or if the person they want to monitor is among the people collecting dew.
Hua Honeysuckle pretended to casually pass by the puddle where Xia Yu was hiding. When she bent down to pick dew, her eyes met Xia Yu's.
Xia Yu waved at her, signaling her to leave quickly and not to expose his location. Tsk tsk, the pretty boy's face, which had just gotten a little tan, turned pale from the cold.
Hua Rendong couldn't help laughing. She didn't know if these people had anything to eat. The rice dumplings she gave to Xia Yu last night were only enough for two people at most. There were no less than five people lying in ambush here, and she discovered them.
So, Hua Rendong threw a few large bags of beef jerky to Xia Yu and handed him a cup of hot brown sugar ginger water.
When Xia Yu took the brown sugar ginger water, he was shocked. He opened his mouth, but the last words he said were almost in a whisper: "Don't give it to others!"
Hua Rendong was stunned. She thought that as a department leader, Xia Yu would think about how to improve combat effectiveness and ensure the safety of his subordinates, but he said this because he was afraid that she would expose the secret?
My heart warmed up and I thought to myself: That's right, I am also a soldier under his command, it is understandable that he wants to protect his secrets.
As soon as she felt better, Hua Rendong threw Xia Yu a handful of wooden cannon and several magazines that she had gotten from Baga. Seeing Xia Yu's eyes widen in shock, Hua Rendong snatched the empty cup from him, clapped her hands, and left happily.
I hope that the dew collecting activity this morning will not alert the enemy and affect Xia Yu and his team's ambush.
When I got back to Zhou's house, breakfast was already on the table. There were several pots of zongzi made yesterday on the two tables.
I washed my eyes and face with dew. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but I really felt that my eyes were brighter than before.
In the rural areas of Northeast China, most of the rice dumplings eaten at this time are made of rhubarb rice and glutinous rice. There are pure rice ones, as well as those made of jujube and red bean. They are eaten with sugar. The candied fruits that Hua Yindong made yesterday are not common, let alone salted pork rice dumplings.
Hua Jindong asked around but didn't see any salted pork rice dumplings. She regretted forgetting to mention the idea of wrapping rice dumplings with ham.
Luckily, Xixi brought her a lot of egg yolk and ham rice dumplings. She can eat them alone when she goes back.
In addition to the rice dumplings, there is also a pot of eggs, including chicken eggs, salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs.
Hua Rendeng saw Hua Aidang taking a smaller goose egg and breaking it against Zhou Hexiang's egg, both of which had white skins. Zhou Hexiang didn't even notice that Hua Aidang was cheating and broke five eggs in a row. When she wanted to take the sixth egg, Zhang Yun slapped her on the back of her head.
"Stop playing with it, it's all broken and you can't put it away!"
Zhou Hexiang licked her lips and looked at the eggs in the basin with regret. Hua Rendong suddenly realized that this girl was really cunning. How could she not see that Hua Ai Dang used goose eggs? She just wanted to break more eggs.
Only that silly boy from Hua Ai Dang is still happy about the achievements he got by being clever.
After breakfast, Zhou Lai Fu wanted to take people to the mountain to pick strawberries. Hua Jianshe and his family, who had nothing to do, also went along.
As soon as he went out, he heard the sound of wood warehouse coming from outside. Zhou Lai Fu was shocked and shouted for the militia to gather, but the people were blown away like a gust of wind.
