Grandma picked and chose and put a basket aside. Sui He came forward to take a look and found that there was a bag of millet and some eggs in it.

"Go to the fields tomorrow morning and pick some vegetables to bring with you." When the grandmother saw Sui He coming, she handed her the basket.

"Okay, grandma." Sui He took the basket, took a look, and knew what was going on. He put the basket at the door: "Where's Anzhi? Why didn't I see her today?"

"She went to the river to wash clothes," grandma said without turning her head.

"Okay, I'll go check it out. It's time to come back," Sui He said, and walked out the door toward the river.

A group of middle-aged women were chatting by the river. An Zhi was hitting the clothes in front of him with a wooden hammer, and there was processed wood ash next to him.

This wood ash is really good. People in the village use it to wash everything, and it can clean everything.

"Anzhi" Suihe called out, "Have you finished washing? If you're done, go home."

"I'll be done soon," An Zhi turned around and saw Sui He on the shore and responded, rubbing the clothes in his hands vigorously.

"Suihe, your sister is really diligent. Look how clean she washed the clothes." Aunt Wang joked as she was washing the clothes in her hands.

"Yes, Anzhi is much better now than when she first came. I can see that she has gained weight."

"You have gained weight and become whiter. Your little face is almost opening up and you are much prettier. I think it won't be long before the threshold of your house is broken down by people."

"If you ask me, this tofu is really good for health. Do you think we can become fairer if we eat more tofu?" The aunties watching around teased An Zhi.

"You are the only one who wants to become whiter? Can you compare with that little girl? Don't you see how deep the wrinkles on your face are?" Aunt Youliang flicked the water in front of the aunt who was speaking.

"What's wrong with me? Why don't you let me speak?" The aunt who was splashed with water did not want to be outdone and splashed it back

The Chen family sells tofu. Tofu is the most indispensable thing in their family.

Anzhi blushed a little when he was told this.

"Enough, you are a bunch of old frivolous people. You made the little girl blush." ​​Aunt Wang found An Zhi's blushing face a little funny, and quickly stopped the people who were joking.

A white complexion hides three uglinesses. Sui He squatted down and looked at An Zhi carefully. Not to mention that he had lived with her before, but he didn't notice that An Zhi had changed a lot.

Although my body is still a little thin, it is much better than at the beginning. My clothes fit me better and the skin exposed is no longer as dark as before.

"Yeah, it's definitely a lot better." Sui He nodded in agreement. Although the change wasn't huge, he could just take it slow. There would be plenty of time in the future.

"Second sister, what are you talking about?" An Zhi's face turned redder when he heard Sui He's words, and he tapped the clothes in front of him with his hands.

"Anzhi, you have nothing against this dress, please don't kill it." The aunt next to him laughed again when she saw Anzhi like this.

This little girl is so shy that they can't help but want to tease her every time they see her.

A few people were chatting and laughing here. Aunt Feng in the corner didn't say anything. She picked up the clothes in front of her and left without saying hello to others.

"This Aunt Feng is also pitiful. The man doesn't come home, and there is no one in charge of the family. Sigh..." When several people saw Aunt Feng leave, they began to chatter.

"Of course I will scold her. Huang Cuihua has done so much harm to people. God must be merciless."

It turned out that ever since the last quarrel, Aunt Feng's husband, Old Feng, had become desperate and no longer avoided being seen by others.

He never went home, and went in and out with Huang Cuihua every day, talking and laughing.

Aunt Feng had come to her house to make trouble several times, but this time Old Feng was determined not to go home and ignore Aunt Feng.

Aunt Feng had no other choice but to take care of all the household affairs by herself. She spoke less and less, and even stopped interacting with the aunts she used to be close to. She seemed to be less and less sociable.

Sui He looked up at Aunt Feng who was walking away, and pulled the weeds by the river.

It is better to stay out of other people's business and respect their fate.

Sui He, who was pulling the weeds, paused, picked up the weeds in his hand, and began to observe them.

The more I look at this grass, the more familiar it looks. It is 30 centimeters tall, with ridges on the stems, and oblong leaves with a black spot on the front of the leaves. The flowers grow in spikes.

The more Sui He looked at it, the more familiar it looked. She seemed to have seen it in a short video. Sui He took the weeds and tried hard to search for the memory in her mind.

"Suihe, what are you doing with the water pepper? Are you going to catch fish?" Aunt Wang asked when she saw the wild grass in Suihe's hand. This grass is edible when it is just grown and tastes a bit spicy. The water pepper is already old and can't be eaten now.

But it can be used to catch fish. If you smash the fresh water pepper and throw it into the river, the fish that smell it will turn upside down and float up.

It's easiest to catch it at this time

"Polygonum?" Sui He lowered his head and murmured: "I know, this is Polygonum hydropiper"

This hot water pepper can not only be used to catch fish, but more importantly, it can also be used to make music. She was just worried about how to find music, and this hot water pepper came out at the right time.

After recognizing it, Sui He began to search by the river. This grass likes to grow in the moist soil near the river and paddy fields.

The countryside is great, there are treasures everywhere, large tracts of them, and it's so good to talk about them.

After a while, I pulled out a bunch of Polygonum hydropiper

"Suihe, if you want to catch fish, stay away. We just washed clothes here and the fish were scared away." Aunt Wang saw that Suihe had pulled a lot of fish and thought that Suihe wanted to catch fish, so she pointed her in a direction: "Go over there, the water is shallower and there are more fish."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Wang, I'll just pull a little and go," Sui He replied, and continued to pull the Polygonum aviculare. After pulling a handful, he walked in the direction Aunt Wang pointed.

She didn't want to tell anyone else about the method of making wine yeast. After all, wine was strictly controlled by the imperial court and ordinary people were not allowed to touch it.

Sui He walked to the river, put the Polygonum aviculare on a stone, smashed it with the stone, and threw it all into the water. In order to succeed, she smashed a lot of

Sure enough, not long after, there was movement in the river, and a palm-sized fish floated up with its white belly turned upside down.

Suihe picked up a wooden stick and pulled the fish out in front of him.

After a while, another small fish floated up. Sui He caught several fish in this way, and then there was no movement in the river. Perhaps there was too much water and it was flowing, so the smell of the water chestnuts was washed away.

Sui He didn't care. A few fish were enough. They were just for show.

"Second sister, let me help you." After washing the clothes, An Zhi went to find Sui He with a wooden basin.

"No, don't come down, I'm done."

As Sui He answered, he pulled some dogtail grass nearby, threaded the fish through their gills, strung them up one by one, and carried them home with a large bundle of hot water grass in his hand.

These hot water peppers need to be taken home and dried before use
