No, I meant to educate Huang Xiaosi.
Coming to her senses, Jiang Nuan pulled out a branch and walked towards the two of them. "No matter what we say, it's useless today. You two must eat your fill of bamboo shoots and pork."
All this talk is just an attempt to distract me. A bunch of brats, they're too green to mess with me. Jiang Nuan felt a little smug.
"Mom, are you really going to hit me?" Seeing this, Huang Xiaosi grabbed the fat boy and ran out of the house happily. "We were wrong, we'll go and reflect on our mistakes now, let's go."
"You little rascals!" Jiang Nuan wanted to chase after them, but the two had already disappeared.
“Mother, Fourth Brother went to the back mountain,” Xiao Wu said with certainty. “Every time he says that, he means he’s going to the back mountain.”
"That brat, is he going to reflect on his mistakes by facing the mountain wall?" Jiang Nuan said through gritted teeth, wishing she could beat the two of them up immediately.
"More or less, Mother, just wait. Fourth Brother will definitely come back with something. He always says that whenever he makes you angry. Then he squats in the back mountain to catch something and begs for your forgiveness."
Jiang Nuan gave a haughty snort, "Don't think I'll forgive him just because of this. This brat needs to be properly disciplined."
She now understands somewhat the love-hate relationship that mothers have with their children.
When your child is sweet, you want to give them your heart; when they're naughty, you want to do everything you can to reform them.
Huang Xiaosi's matter had taken up a lot of time, and when Jiang Nuan went out again, it was already midday, with Xiao Wu still following behind her.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu reminded her, which allowed Jiang Nuan to avoid Huang Xiao Si and the other person.
"Mom, shall we go dig for wild vegetables?"
“No,” Jiang Nuan said with a smile, “we’re looking for flowers today.”
"Looking for flowers? What flowers?" Xiao Wu ran over and grabbed a handful of small white flowers. "Is this it?"
Jiang Nuan looked at the unidentified white flower in Xiao Wu's hand and her lips twitched. "No, let's go find some less common flowers."
What flower?
"plum bossom!"
This is the fastest and most effective way for Jiang Nuan to make money.
First of all, the four noble plants, plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, have always been highly respected in ancient times. People in ancient times have always been fond of refined tastes, and they would never miss the plum blossom, which is of noble character.
Secondly, she is an agricultural major and has done some research on the cultivation of various flowers. With the added advantage of space, it is not too difficult for her to cultivate a rare red plum.
"Plum blossoms," Xiao Wu turned his head, "Mom, do we have any here?"
“Mother doesn’t know either,” Jiang Nuan’s face fell. “Let’s look for it first, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll think of another way.”
The mother and daughter climbed mountain by mountain hand in hand, and after climbing three mountains, they finally found a malnourished plum sapling.
"Mother," Xiao Wu looked at the seedling, which was only slightly larger than his palm, "is this a plum blossom?"
"No, it's still small and hasn't bloomed yet."
"What should we do then? Keep searching?"
Xiao Wu looked relaxed, while Jiang Nuan was panting heavily from exhaustion.
This mountain is really not friendly to her, old lady. Jiang Nuan held her old back and secretly thought about how to trick Xiao Wu into putting the seedling into her space without leaving a trace.
His eyes darted around, and an idea came to him.
"Xiao Wu, forget it, this one is too small, let's go back today." Jiang Nuan said with a regretful expression.
"They really are small," Xiao Wu commented, shaking his head. "They're skinny and don't even have any leaves yet. They won't sell for any money."
“Yes,” Jiang Nuan then casually made up a reason to divert Xiao Wu’s attention, “I saw a rabbit run into a tree ahead, let’s go take a look.”
"Really?" Xiao Wu looked at Jiang Nuan with surprise. "Where is it? I'll go see."
Jiang Nuan pointed in a direction, and Xiao Wu immediately ran over.
She took the opportunity to pull out the seedlings, transplant them into the space, and watered them with some spring water.
"Mom, what a big rabbit!" Jiang Nuan heard Xiao Wu's excited voice as soon as she came out of the space.
"What rabbit?" Jiang Nuan was in a hurry to clean up the marks and didn't react for a moment.
"The rabbit that got hit by a car was white and very fat," Xiao Wu said, running over with the plump rabbit in his arms.
"There really is?" Jiang Nuan's mouth dropped open in surprise.
“Mom, you’re surprised,” Xiao Wu looked closely at Jiang Nuan. “Didn’t you see a rabbit?”
"No," Jiang Nuan said somewhat awkwardly, "I was just surprised that this rabbit was so fat. We can have a good meat meal tonight. It would be even better if we could have a pheasant too."
Just as Jiang Nuan finished speaking, she saw a pheasant frantically flapping its wings in a thicket of thorns, eventually bleeding itself profusely.
"Good heavens, is this the protagonist's halo?" Jiang Nuan stared unblinkingly at the half-dead pheasant.
“What protagonist halo?” Xiao Wu grabbed Jiang Nuan’s hand, his little face pleading, “Mom, this chicken is about to die, so we can get another chicken for free.”
Chicken: I will die with my eyes open in disgrace!
Jiang Nuan, whose mind was filled with a flock of crows, was at a loss for words.
In the end, the mother and daughter each carried a chicken and a rabbit down the mountain.
Jiang Nuan is the one holding the chicken.
There was no other way; although her health had improved somewhat, carrying the chicken after climbing the mountain was still a bit difficult, so she could only hold it in her arms.
This seriously damaged her image, and Jiang Nuanxin felt extremely guilty.
The two chose the perfect time, neither too early nor too late, and they didn't encounter many people along the way.
Jiang Nuan ran to the Huang family's courtyard like a thief before she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She was in a terrible state, with chicken blood all over her chest and chicken feathers stuck to her hair.
"Mother!" A shrill voice rang out. When Xie saw Jiang Nuan, her eyes reddened. "Did this chicken bully you?"
"Jiaojiao, how could I be bullied by a chicken!" Jiang Nuan's forehead veins were about to bulge.
“Why not? Our Da Hua used to be so fierce. She always bullied Mother and chased her all over the yard,” Xie said indignantly.
“No,” Jiang Nuan said, barely suppressing her anger, “this chicken is already dead.”
“Mother, you’ve become so amazing,” Xie said, her eyes sparkling. “Before, I was always being chased by chickens, but now I can crush them to death.”
Look at this body, not a single patch of skin is unscathed. What kind of deep-seated hatred must there be to inflict such a cruel blow? Mother must have suffered a great injustice this time.
“I didn’t do this,” Jiang Nuan clenched her fist. “Jiaojiao, can we stop making things difficult for the chicken? It’s already dead, can’t we let it rest in peace?”
"Mother is right. I'll go gut it right now, and I guarantee it'll be on our plate tonight." With that, Xie hurriedly took the chicken and left.
"Xiao Wu," Jiang Nuan twitched her lips, "what happened to that chicken named Da Hua?"
"Let me think," Xiao Wu recalled for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I think it ate it. My eldest and second eldest brothers taught it many times not to bully Mother, but it never learned its lesson, so they simply sent it to rest in peace."
"Does it smell good?" Jiang Nuan suddenly asked this question without thinking.
"It smells good," Xiao Wu moved his mouth slightly, a suspicious liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth, "but there's not enough meat, not enough to eat."
"Don't worry, there's plenty of meat today. With this rabbit, it'll be enough for our whole family."
