Chapter 328 Going Home to Enjoy
"So what? I brought it here, and you want me to take it back?"
He Hongjin glared at Lu Miao unhappily, temporarily put down the hoe handle, and dragged his legs to the edge of the field.
The uncles from the neighboring fields joked:
"Hong Jin, you've been awesome your whole life, but you never thought you'd meet such a nemesis when you get old, hahahaha..."
The uncle was older than him, so He Hongjin smiled and didn't reply.
Seeing the soft-shelled turtles in the basket Lu Miao brought, he became dissatisfied again:
"I don't like this, take it back and feed it to the child!"
"Dabao and Erbao are too young to eat this. Hurry up. I'll ask Tianzao to look after the children. They've been away for too long. They'll probably cry soon."
Lu Miao carried Dabao and Erbao out, and He Hongjin immediately gave in. He took the bowl and sat on the edge of the field to eat.
The trouser leg of his injured leg was rolled up.
Lu Miao leaned over and took a look.
The skin on his legs was bruised and swollen, and there was some white powdery substance dripping from the wound, which should be the medicine he applied.
In the center of the white powder, dark red blood and pus were mixed together. It was a bit disgusting, and you could imagine how painful it was.
Lu Miao turned his eyes away and couldn't help but mutter:
"There's not much work, and it's not like you can leave this land for a few days."
He Hongjin looked up at her, his face furrowed in a puzzled expression.
Lu Miao was not afraid and continued to hum:
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not wrong. You're already quite old, and it's not right for you to only think about the fields every day. The younger ones in the family are all worried. Can't you see that, uncle?"
Just as He Hongjin finished eating the turtle and drinking the soup, Lu Miao arrogantly took back the bowl and said, carrying the basket:
"If you really collapse, Brother You will have to bear the consequences later. Hurry up and pack up your things and go home to rest!"
After Lu Miao finished speaking, he hurried back.
"Hey! This girl!"
Only He Hongjin was left sitting on the edge of the field, scratching his head:
"He's treating me like my grandson!"
Despite muttering to himself, He Hongjin reluctantly stood up, picked up the hoe and walked back.
The uncles and aunts from the neighboring fields were surprised:
"Hongjin, you just arrived? Where are you going?"
He Hongjin replied with a smile: "The New Year is coming soon, I'm going home to rest for a few days and enjoy myself!"
Let’s talk about Lu Miao.
She was worried that her eldest and second child were making a fuss at home, so she hurried back. On the way, she saw the mountain chrysanthemums in full bloom on the side of the road and couldn't help but stop.
I drank this chrysanthemum tea before traveling through time, and it was very effective in clearing away heat and relieving internal heat.
Lu Miao avoided the thorns mixed in the flowers, quickly picked a large bunch of mountain chrysanthemum branches, and continued walking home.
When we got home, Minjie and Minmin also came over.
The two little ones took off their shoes, reached out to Ma Tianzao for help, and went into the fence early to play with Dabao and Erbao.
Ma Tianzao was sitting on a small stool, leaning on a chair and reading a newspaper. When she saw her coming back with Chrysanthemum, she was surprised:
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing with this?"
Lu Miao smiled and explained a few words, and Ma Tianzao was even more surprised:
"Can wild chrysanthemum clear away heat and reduce internal heat?"
"Isn't it? Don't you know? This is a common Chinese herbal medicine."
Ma Tianzao really didn't know.
Every spring, these yellow wild chrysanthemums the size of a little finger bloom all over the mountains.
Moreover, they have extremely strong vitality, and some can continue to stand strong even after frost and snow.
Ma Tianzao is in the mood:
"How do I do this? Sister-in-law, please teach me!"
"I've only drunk it before, and I've only heard a few words from others about how to prepare it..."
Lu Miao was embarrassed, scratched his forehead and said:
"I'm not sure if it will work."
Ma Tianzao is confident about her honey:
"Others can't do it, but sister-in-law can!"
Lu Miao laughed: "You can read the newspaper and write something first. I'll go clean up and teach you something new today."
Ma Tianzao nodded quickly.
With Ma Tianzao helping to look after the children, Lu Miao can be more at ease.
She picked the chrysanthemums individually, put them in a basin, and poured some well water into it.
Wash it several times to not only remove the dust on the surface of the chrysanthemum, but also clean out the leaves that were plucked off.
After washing was almost done, Lu Miao added water to the pot, placed the steaming tray on it, and placed the gauze separator for steaming buns on it.
The washed chrysanthemums are piled on the partition.
The number of branches she picked looked like a lot, but after she actually picked the flowers, there weren't that many.
After lighting a fire and waiting for the water to boil over the chrysanthemums, Lu Miao opened the lid of the pot to control the temperature.
When the temperature drops and it is no longer hot, I take out the chrysanthemums by the screen and pour them into the small sieve prepared earlier in the morning and shake them evenly.
Lu Miao placed the small sieve on the manhole cover to dry.
The preparations are almost complete at this point.
Then let it dry in the wind and then in the sun for a few days until it is completely dry.
By then we will know whether it will succeed or not.
After cleaning up, Lu Miao returned to the main room.
I had already taught Ma Tianzao almost everything about characters and pinyin. As for the rest, Ma Tianzao had to go back and consolidate and memorize them carefully.
Lu Miao couldn't help her anymore.
Today, Lu Miao is going to teach Ma Tianzao new things. He plans to teach her how to write articles and compositions.
This was a bit of a leap for Ma Tianzao, she didn't even understand what an article was.
Lu Miao pointed at the newspaper, tore it open and crumpled it up, and said to her:
"These are all articles in the newspaper, but they report events, are more official, and have strict wording."
"Since you're just getting started, let's not get into those difficult things. Let's start by writing about things, people, and short sentences."
Lu Miao said, pointing at Dabao and Erbao and giving a simple example:
"Take the description of a child, for example. Do you think his eyes are round? Are they big? Are they as cute as the dolls in New Year pictures?"
Ma Tianzao nodded.
Lu Miao simplified the language and wrote an example sentence for her.
Ma Tianzao watched her write and read out haltingly:
"His eyes are round and black, like grapes after rain, and his face is chubby. He looks as cute as the koi dolls in New Year pictures..."
Ma Tianzao stood up straight, his eyes moving back and forth between the notebook and Dabao and Erbao, and suddenly he said seriously:
"Sister-in-law, I think I've found the trick!"
Lu Miao smiled and said, "Tell me about it?"
"Just write more things that look like something, right?"
Ma Tianzao scratched his forehead and spoke uncertainly.
Lu Miao thought for a moment and nodded gently:
"That's quite right."
For beginners, there is nothing wrong with having such insights.
Seeing that he was being affirmed, Ma Tianzao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he put his knowledge into practice and said everything he had thought of:
"As nimble as a loach, as chubby as a piglet, and smiling... well, that smile is full of energy! Like hope!"
Lu Miao was amused by her, corrected some of her minor mistakes, and then gave her an in-depth explanation of some sentence patterns and grammar.
For example, personification, metaphor, parallelism, exaggeration, rhetorical questions, etc.
