After returning home, although it was just past noon and only half a day, Su Qingluan felt more tired than after getting up early and going to bed late for several days in a row.
I feel tired.
Su Qingluan lay motionless on the bed, not even wanting to wash off her makeup, until she heard her sister calling out from outside: "Sister, sister! The onions and carrots you planted are growing!"
Su Xueyan flew into Su Qingluan's room like a cheerful bird, threw herself on Su Qingluan's back and hugged her neck: "Sister, sister, go and have a look, it's all grown!"
Su Qingluan didn't take it seriously at first. She just turned over and pushed the little girl off her back: "You little fat girl, did you cheat on me? Why do I feel it's getting heavier and heavier, it's almost suffocating me!"
The little girl wasn't this heavy when she first came here, right?
Su Xueyan pouted: "Sister, you are so mean! I am not fat! Mother said I have grown taller!"
That’s true.
Su Xueyan began to pull her elder sister's sleeve again: "Go and take a look, take a look!"
At first, Su Qingluan thought that her younger sister noticed that the onion and carrot seedlings had grown taller, so she said they had "grown out".
Unexpectedly, the little girl had a little strength in her hands, and when she pulled one of the onion seedlings upwards, a complete light yellow onion head was revealed underneath!
It’s actually ready to eat!
Su Qingluan had an idea and pulled out a carrot next to it - well, although it was thinner than the previous one, it could still be considered "mature"!
No matter what time it was, it was always a joy to see the crops you had worked so hard to plant grow. Su Qingluan looked at the two "fruits" that were not yet fully ripe - although they were just rhizomes - and felt that the energy that had been drained by socializing with the people in the Xie Mansion had finally recovered a little.
Since she had to "climb mountains and cross rivers" the next day, Su Qingluan went to bed early. Before going to bed, she gave her feet a special massage and then had a good sleep.
The next day, Su Qingluan changed into men's clothes and went to the city gate to welcome Zhang Ma's carriage.
Seeing Su Qingluan dressed like this, Aunt Zhang frowned again: "How can Madam Su wear men's clothes? It's really inappropriate!"
Su Qingluan knew that since the old lady of the Xie family liked her jam, Aunt Zhang would not dare to offend her too much.
In that case, Su Qingluan didn't need to be too cautious. However, she still bowed respectfully to the other party: "People in the mountains are different from women in the boudoir. As long as they have clothes to wear, it doesn't matter whether they are men or women, as long as they can do the work, it's fine!"
Aunt Zhang thought she was too lazy to argue with this vulgar peasant girl, so she nodded and signaled Su Qingluan to lead the way - of course, in name only, she was "unfamiliar with the road and needed a guide", but in reality, she would not allow a "rough person" like Su Qingluan to ride in the same carriage with her.
Su Qingluan said: "As long as you are happy." In her opinion, the bumpy mountain road was not very comfortable even with shock absorption measures, let alone the low-end carriage in ancient times.
So Zhang Ma only sat in the carriage for less than a quarter of an hour. She couldn't stand the "long journey" anymore and got out with a pale face. As soon as she got out, she hid behind a tree on the side of the road.
Even though Aunt Zhang tried her best to lower her voice, Su Qingluan could still hear her retching.
Of course, in this situation, there was no need for Su Qingluan to ask about the other person's well-being. After all, in addition to the coachman driving the car, there were also two little maids doing the chores with Zhang Ma.
Seeing that Aunt Zhang was vomiting violently, the two men patted her chest and back. After a long time, Aunt Zhang finally stopped feeling like vomiting.
Then she would never ride in a carriage again.
Su Qingluan continued to lead the way. She walked this mountain path to Huaxi Village every day, often helping her parents carry the various small items they needed for their stall. Today, she had nothing to do and wasn't hungry this morning, so she felt the journey was even easier than usual.
However, for Zhang Ma, this stretch was no easy task. She had just been swayed from side to side in the car, nearly vomiting bile, and her legs were already weak.
What's more, the journey took more than half an hour and was on a mountain road. It was too difficult for her, an old woman who had lived a life of luxury for decades.
After half an hour, Su Qingluan felt that the pace of the people behind her was getting slower and slower, and they were about to stagnate. She turned around and asked, "Auntie Zhang, do you want to take a break?"
