The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Jinyuan scratched his head, feeling quite helpless.

"This……"

Xia Ning covered the corner of her lips and said, "It's okay, you guys go back, I'll take care of him."

"Okay, let's go then."

After Song Jinyuan and Miao left for a while, Song Yuntang came with a small bottle.

Seeing Xu Wencheng squatting on the grass pitifully, with his hands raised above his head like a mushroom, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xia Ning could no longer restrain himself and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.

The two of them couldn't help laughing as they fed Xu Wencheng the detoxification pill. Only then did Song Yuntang look at Xia Ning.

"You stay here and watch him until he's feeling better before leaving. If anything happens, contact me immediately."

Xia Ning nodded, "Yes."

……

The next day, Song Yuntang looked at Xu Wencheng with a smile.

"You're not going to say you're a mushroom today?"

Xu Wencheng looked a little embarrassed. "Sister-in-law, please forget about this. But don't tell anyone. I still have to save my face."

In fact, when he woke up in the morning, he had almost forgotten what happened yesterday. It was Xia Ning who told him because he was curious about how he got back yesterday.

Song Yuntang gave him a displeased look.

"You know you have to save face, but why do you still eat randomly?"

Xu Wencheng scratched his head.

"I won't dare to do it again."

Song Yuntang continued, "The weather has been humid recently, and a lot of things have indeed grown in the mountains, but many of them are poisonous. Don't eat anything you don't recognize. Next time you go up the mountain, ask Aunt Miao to prepare some dry food for you. Don't make yourself look like a savage."

Xu Wencheng chuckled.

"understood."

"Luckily you didn't eat much this time. If anything bad had happened to you, I wouldn't know how I would explain it to your parents and your eldest brother." She took out two bottles from the medicine box. "One bottle is for detoxification pills, and the other is for wound medicine. There are many snakes, insects, ants and beasts in the mountains. Keep them with you when you go into the mountains in the future, just in case."

Xu Wencheng reached out and took it.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Song Yuntang wanted to laugh when he thought of how he squatted in the grass and packed mushrooms yesterday.

She suppressed the smile on her lips.

"Go and do your thing."

"Hey." Xu Wencheng turned around and took two steps, then turned back and looked at Song Yuntang's frozen smile. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, laugh if you want to."

After saying that, he ran away.

Song Yuntang covered his mouth and laughed for a while, almost crying.

……

Qiao Da came hurriedly.

"Boss, before I came here today, I heard from the villagers that locusts have appeared in the fields."

Song Yuntang calculated the days and found that it had been almost half a month since Qiao Daqiao went to the county town to inform her. The current climate was suitable for the hatching of locust eggs, so there would probably be more and more of them in the future.

Before I knew it, she had been back for half a month.

Although life at Zhuangzi was comfortable, after being separated from Xu Qingye for so long, he still missed her a little in his heart.

But right now, the most important thing is to resolve the crisis.

"How are the fields on our farm?"

"The fields on the farm have been sprayed with pesticides, and we have been clearing locust eggs every day. The situation is much better now, but we haven't seen any signs of it yet," said Qiao Da.

"I want to get news about the locusts. Has Uncle Joe released them all?" she asked again.

"I've already told you that before we came to the village, many people in our village took their tools and went to the fields to catch locusts."

Song Yuntang nodded. "I asked you to make some moxa sticks a few days ago. Light them on the fields to keep locusts away. Especially on the dry land where sweet potatoes and peppers are grown."

Although sweet potatoes are underground, if the leaves are damaged by locusts, it will still affect the sweet potato harvest.

Qiao Da responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After Song Yuntang packed up, he went to the fields to check the situation.

It was better than she had imagined. The green crops were growing strong. If they were not destroyed by locusts, the harvest this year should be good.

She walked towards the farm of the Jiang family next door. With her reminder, the Jiang family had taken precautions early, and there were not many locusts in the farmland.

Occasionally one would jump out and be caught by Song Yuntang to take a look at.

"Extreme droughts will inevitably bring locusts. These locusts are quite large. It seems the food is good."

If there is a sudden increase in rainfall in an area that was originally dry and rainy, it will lead to a locust plague, and vice versa.

This kind of locust is non-toxic when it is alone, but if the density of locusts is too high, they may have no medicinal or edible value.

According to the current prevention and control measures, locusts can be collected for the time being before the number of locusts increases.

Anyway, she'll be watching here for the time being, so nothing should go wrong.

……

After walking around the farm, Song Yuntang returned to the courtyard.

The yard was so quiet that I thought there was no one there.

"Xia Ning, has the second batch of mugwort arrived from the county?"

Xia Ning clasped his fists and said, "Just now, Qiao Da came to see his subordinates and said that the medicinal materials have been delivered and they are speeding up the production of moxa sticks."

After being made into moxa sticks, they can burn longer, which can save a lot of medicinal materials.

"After it's done, send some to the Jiang family's farm next door." Then, as if thinking of something, Song Yuntang looked at Xia Ning, "I remember last year Tu Shi planted a circle of taro at the foot of the newly reclaimed wasteland. Go dig some up and peel the taro after lunch. We'll stew it for dinner."

"Yes."

After Xia Ning bowed, he turned and walked towards the adobe house.

Song Yuntang rubbed his shoulders and just as he stepped into the courtyard, he smelled the fragrance wafting from the direction of the kitchen in the new courtyard.

There was some confusion on her face.

These days at the farm, Aunt Miao would prepare meals in the front yard and ask Xia Ning to bring them to her. She had only used the kitchen in the new yard three times when she felt like it.

There was no one else in the new yard on weekdays. Apart from her and Xia Ning, there was only Xu Wencheng. But didn’t Xu Wencheng go out early in the morning?

Thinking of this, she walked towards the kitchen.

When he got closer and caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing in the kitchen from afar, surprise flashed in Song Yuntang's eyes.

The man was wearing a light blue gown and was busy working inside with his sleeves rolled up.

He looks as focused when cooking as when reading.

His calm and peaceful appearance always made her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Why are you back?" Song Yuntang walked towards him quickly.

Hearing the sound, the man turned his head to look outside the kitchen, his deep brows and eyes showing a gentle smile.

"The teacher had to go to the provincial capital for something, and someone happened to be enjoying himself, so I followed the carriage that was delivering mugwort from the clinic back home."

Song Yuntang took a closer look with a joking tone.

"What delicious food did Mr. Tianluo make for me today?"

Xu Qingye didn't know what Mr. Tianluo meant, so he didn't ask much. He placed the steamed buns he had just made next to the pot of stewed chicken and said, "I stewed the chicken for you with mushrooms, and then blanched some steamed buns. I'll stir-fry some vegetables later and we'll have dinner."

He put all the small steamed buns on the edge of the pot, covered the pot, opened the steamer on the side, took out a piece of cake and put it next to Song Yuntang's mouth.

"The osmanthus cake is freshly steamed and the temperature is just right. Try it."
