Chapter 364: Growing Vegetables in Winter
At this moment, Shen Qingqian was sleeping soundly in her room.
She spun like a top for half a month, and even with the blessing of the holy spring water, she still felt very tired. She slept until noon.
Today is a rare sunny day, so the Wu family went out to the fields early.
Xiao Lin stayed at home with a few children. Seeing that it was getting late, she went to the third room and called Shen Qingqian, "Sixth sister, are you awake yet? The meal that Third Aunt left for you is getting cold."
Shen Qingqian opened her eyes drowsily and found that it was already daylight. She quickly sat up and replied loudly, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll be right there."
Now that's great, her reputation for being a lazy sleeper has probably spread.
Shen Qingqian quickly dressed and went to the sink to brush her teeth and wash her face before heading to Wu's room.
Now, the living room on the Wu side is the main hall and dining room of the Shen family. The Shen family eats here every day and chats after eating. It is a happy and lively place.
"Sixth sister, come quickly," Xiaolin greeted her with a smile when she saw her come in. "My mother specially cooked eggs for you this morning. She said you must be tired from all the busy days."
On the surface, Shen Qingqian didn't seem to do anything, but in the hearts of the Shen family, the money she earned from selling seasonings supported most of the family's current expenses.
When Shen Qingqian politely told Mrs. Wu that she wanted to hand over the recipe, Mrs. Wu told her in person that Shen Qingqian should keep the recipe as her dowry, but before she got married, this part of the money would temporarily belong to the public treasury.
The reason why it is temporary is because Wu has not yet figured out what to use to balance Shen Qingqian's efforts in this matter.
Shen Qingqian looked at the porridge and side dishes on the table, as well as the boiled egg, feeling a little embarrassed. "Auntie, you are so thoughtful. Actually, I didn't do anything."
If we don't count her sneaking out at night to stockpile food, then taking care of the children and collecting herbs and making medicine during the day are really nothing.
But farming is a physical job! What's more, it's such a large amount. She was able to work continuously for half a month, really thanks to the magic spring water.
"Don't be so modest. We have all seen what you have done for the family." Kobayashi said sincerely.
In the past, she would occasionally feel unbalanced because her mother-in-law favored the younger sister from the third room, but now she finally knew the reason.
Recently, Shen Qingqian not only teaches them how to process medicinal materials every night, but also has to process the raw materials for seasonings when she returns to the house. She is really busy all the time.
Shen Qingqian knew that she had misunderstood, but this misunderstanding could not be explained, so she could only accept it with a dry smile and then eat her meal.
"Sister-in-law, what are my aunt and the others doing in the fields today?" Shen Qingqian asked knowingly.
Xiao Lin smiled so much that her eyes curved. "Let's go harvest the vegetables. Many of the ones we planted earlier are already ready to eat."
"Really?" Shen Qingqian pretended to be surprised. "I saw it was green a few days ago, and I thought I would have to wait ten days or so."
Xiao Lin nodded and smiled, "It's true. Jiang Dazhuang and Liu Nan went for a run over there this morning. When they saw the vegetables were ready to eat, they came back and asked us to bring people to collect them."
Ever since Shen Qingqian talked about the importance of physical fitness, several older children have been getting up early to run together.
"Then I'll go to the fields to help too." Shen Qingqian took the bowls to the kitchen, washed them quickly, and went out.
It goes without saying that the vegetables in the valley can mature so quickly, naturally thanks to her.
When she arrived at the field, she just heard Wu's words of regret.
"It's a pity. It's winter now, so we can't plant anymore. Otherwise, we might be able to make some money."
Shen Qingqian trotted over and looked at Wu with a smile, "Aunt, you can grow vegetables in winter."
