Chapter 19: Eggs Found
Jiang Shoujia is only forty-five years old, which is considered a middle-aged man in modern times.
But in ancient times, he had already reached the age of retirement, after all, the average life expectancy here was less than fifty.
Even if he is in good health and his back is not bent.
Hearing his grandson care about him.
Jiang Shoujia felt warm in his heart.
He sat back down and nodded to his grandson. "Okay, go ahead and water it. Remember not to water it too much. The buds have just sprouted. If you water them too much at once, they will die easily."
"Hey, grandson knows." Jiang Tongshui responded.
Head straight to the backyard.
At this time, Jiang Fubao was alone in the house.
The space has been refreshed, and she has to quickly put the basin back into the space, otherwise someone at home will clean the house and discover the secret under the bed.
Half a minute later.
She walked out of the room with a grim look on her face.
"Old man, you just stay in the yard and look after the house. I'm going to the mountains with my daughters-in-law to pick wild vegetables. Fubao, come here quickly. Let's go. The earlier we go, the earlier we can come back."
Holding the hand of his grandmother, Jiang Fubao walked towards the foot of the mountain.
What a coincidence.
I met Ma Chunxia again.
"Sister-in-law, are you going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables? Why are you bringing Fubao with you? This child loves to run up the mountain so much. Fubao, do you want to learn how to pick wild vegetables from your grandma? So you can grow up quickly and help your grandma with work?"
Ma Chunxia likes Jiang Fubao very much.
He is cute, well-behaved, fair and chubby, and doesn't look like a farmer's child at all.
If I change into a brocade satin dress.
If you didn’t know, you might think that some rich family’s little girl had sneaked out.
"Well, I want to help grandma with the work. Good morning, Grandma Xia~" Jiang Fubao answered Ma Chunxia according to her meaning.
Don't forget to say hello.
"You are so good, Fubao, good morning too. It's a pity that Grandma Xia didn't bring any delicious food with her. In two days, Grandma Xia will sell the eggs she has saved at home and buy some meat. Fubao, bring your bowl over to eat, and then Grandma Xia will give you a big piece."
Ma Chunxia's family was also poor.
But she never complained to her family.
Every time she went to town to sell eggs, she would buy two taels of meat and stir-fry it with wild vegetables.
Cut into thin slices.
Each person gets two or three slices.
If you hold the meat together and point it at a person, it can reflect a person's shadow.
Without good knife skills, you won’t be able to cut it.
"Thank you, Grandma Xia. We have meat at home. Just eat it yourself. Eat more." Jiang Fubao didn't take it seriously.
Meat is so precious.
If she really went to the neighbor's house with a bowl to beg for food.
It is estimated that Ma Chunxia will never treat her well again.
"That's right. Fubao is a fairy who has descended to earth. She made so many copper coins from selling the pigeon eggs she picked up. She must have bought some meat to eat. Sister-in-law, I really envy you. If my granddaughter could have half the luck of your Fubao, my ancestral grave would be filled with smoke."
Thinking of the pigeon eggs I saw that day.
Ma Chunxia was very jealous.
One egg can be exchanged for ten eggs.
Eight pigeon eggs in total.
At least eighty eggs can be exchanged for it.
It’s been enough for her family to save it for a long time.
No wonder I smelled meat when I was having dinner yesterday.
It turned out to be from the Jiang family.
"Okay, I won't follow you anymore. I'm going to take my two granddaughters to look for wild vegetables somewhere else. We'll talk later."
Ma Chunxia is a smart person. Last time, she took advantage of Zhang Jinlan and dug a lot of young sprouts. This time, she might as well be shameless enough to follow her.
I'm afraid that the harmonious relationship between the two will be broken.
"OK."
Zhang Jinlan smiled slightly, and the two looked at each other, each of them having a clear mind.
After separation.
Zhang Jinlan ran towards the place where she was yesterday according to her memory.
"Mom, this is the inner area, you guys are not really going in, are you?"
When they came out of the woods, Sun Pingmei looked at her mother-in-law in surprise.
"Artemisia annua is a good thing. If it grows outside, do you think we can eat it? Hurry up and go in. It's safe there. It's okay."
After going there once, Zhang Jinlan is no longer afraid.
She was the first to enter the inner circle.
Zhang Yanzi followed, holding Jiang Fubao.
Next is Zhu Yingqiu.
Finally, there is the timid Sun Pingmei.
"Oh my God, this is such a big piece of land. It will last us at least ten days! It is a really good Feng Shui site. It is really good. Our Fubao is so lucky that we can find such a good place just by pointing. Come quickly and give a bite to our aunt."
Zhu Yingqiu hugged Jiang Fubao and gave her a big kiss on the cheek before starting to pick wild vegetables.
Apart from the occasional words from the surrounding plants, Jiang Fubao didn't hear any sound.
She was a little bored.
After the experience of catching wild pheasants last time, grandma looked around from time to time, which made her stand there in a daze.
"Grandma, I want to go there to play." After staying for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Fubao made up an excuse and said to Zhang Jinlan.
"Okay, don't run too far." Zhang Jinlan agreed without thinking.
Who knows, good luck may come to my granddaughter.
I heard the birds singing again.
She didn't dare to detain her granddaughter.
Just ask her to be careful and not run too far.
Jiang Fubao breathed a sigh of relief and walked in the direction where she caught the wild pheasant last time.
She stopped only when she could no longer see her family members. She found a patch of soft grass and pushed aside the weeds.
Take the egg out of the space.
She bought a total of 130 before she traveled through time.
Ate ten.
So there were still 120 eggs left in the refrigerator on the day of the time travel.
Plus the one hundred and twenty taken out last night, and the space after the refresh.
Two hundred and forty eggs in total.
Eggs take up space.
Unlike quail eggs which are small.
Jiang Fubao decided to consume the eggs first.
She piled two hundred and forty eggs on the weeds and covered them with some longer grass.
Make it into a nest shape.
I wanted to get a few more apples out.
But it’s the wrong season.
Seems a bit fake.
I had to give up the idea.
There are nine apples left in the refrigerator, as well as a whole watermelon, two cantaloupes, twenty oranges, a bunch of bananas, and thirty kiwis.
Let’s wait until summer to take it out, Jiang Fubao thought.
"Grandma, there are eggs here!!" Then she shouted in the direction where grandma was picking wild vegetables.
"What, another egg?" Zhang Jinlan, who had just picked a handful of Artemisia annua, stood there in a daze.
She thought she was hallucinating.
After all, while picking vegetables, I was always thinking whether my granddaughter could get lucky again and encounter a lame pheasant or pick up bird eggs.
Until the granddaughter called out again.
She was sure that she had heard it correctly.
"She's coming, grandma's here. Fubao, just stand there and don't move." Zhang Jinlan threw the Artemisia annua in her hand into the backpack, stood up quickly, and ran towards her granddaughter.
Zhu Yingqiu and the other two hurriedly followed.
"Where are the eggs?"
She asked anxiously when she saw her granddaughter.
"Look, there are eggs here." Jiang Fubao said, pointing to the haystack.
"Oh my god, why are they eggs? Who hid so many eggs here? Aren't they afraid of being stolen?" Zhang Jinlan recognized the eggs at a glance through the gaps in the weeds.
She squatted down and pulled away the grass covering the eggs.
His face was full of surprise.
