By the time we finished fooling around, the water had already gotten cold!
Ning Jing was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers. Fu Hongxing helped her clean up, dressed her, and carried her into the room.
As he went in, he glanced at Xiao Feng, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the outer room.
Seeing that she had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed, he carefully carried Ning Jing to the kang (a heated brick bed) in the inner room.
After putting Ning Jing down and covering her with a blanket, she fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Hongxing felt a little guilty, realizing that he might have gone a bit too far!
The next day, when Ning Jing opened her eyes, she heard Fu Hongxing talking softly to Xiao Feng outside.
Thinking of yesterday's foolishness, Ning Jing's old face first turned red.
Then he quickly got up, dressed, and came out, just in time to see Fu Hongxing holding a bowl and feeding Xiao Feng porridge.
"Wife, you're up?"
Fu Hongxing said to Ning Jing in a somewhat ingratiating manner.
Ning Jing glared at him fiercely when she heard his words.
Then he walked over and patted Xiaofeng's head.
"Xiaofeng, how are you feeling?"
Xiao Feng tilted her head, grinned at Ning Jing, and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's already very good. Look, I have strength in my hands now. Uncle insists on feeding me."
She raised her little hand and waved it a few times in front of Ning Jing, indicating that she was not as weak as she had been yesterday.
"Sweetie, rest for a few more days, then Xiaofeng will eat by herself, okay?"
Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, Ning Jing smiled and gently advised her.
Xiao Feng nodded quickly and agreed.
"What about the other children?"
Ning Jing glanced at Fu Hongxing and then asked.
"I went to dig for wild vegetables with Sister Guihua's daughter early this morning!"
During the autumn harvest season, in the warm October weather, many wild vegetables will sprout from the ground and turn green on the ridges next to cornfields and rice paddies, sprouting tender shoots.
The green and tender wild vegetables growing on the ground are quite eye-catching.
When children see large wild vegetables, they take the scissors from home, lift the leaves, gently pry open the soil around the roots, insert the scissors into the soil, close the scissors, and then easily pick out the vegetables by holding the leaves.
The easiest plant to grow along the edge of a rice paddy is the purslane.
From spring to winter, they grow in batches.
The greenery will only be covered by heavy snow.
However, when spring comes, because the roots and stems are still there, these wild vegetables will continue to grow out of the soil after the land is turned over.
Gou Dan and Xiao Ya, along with their two nieces, were squatting by the edge of the field, busy cutting Malan (a type of wild vegetable). Malan is not like shepherd's purse or other wild vegetables.
You don't need to stick the scissors into the soil to cut the roots; just cut along the tender, slender stems of the tender leaves.
My sister-in-law's malantou (a type of wild vegetable) is super delicious. After cleaning it thoroughly, she blanched it in hot water, then squeezed it into a ball and wrung out the water.
Chop it into small pieces, add minced garlic, ginger juice, salt, MSG, and sesame oil, mix well, and the mixed wild vegetables are refreshing and thirst-quenching, with no bitter taste at all.
The twins often heard their older sister and brother reminisce about the hardships of the past, saying that when the family had no food, they ate unpalatable wild vegetables, with no oil or fat in their stomachs and were never full.
They expressed their doubts, saying that the wild vegetables tasted delicious.
However, my sister-in-law smiled and pointed to the seasonings, saying that if they didn't have these things, they definitely wouldn't find the boiled wild vegetables delicious!
