Chapter 8, Own Land
I have to say, with their own thoughts, the two of them get along very happily.
After dinner, Mei Xue asked her grandmother to go into the house for a nap and then go to the fields in the afternoon.
I just finished cleaning the fields yesterday, and today I have to go weed the fields and pick some ripe vegetables.
Grandma said a few words about this last night, and Meixue remembered it all.
This family never let her go hungry, and Grandma He gave her the family love she had never had before, which Mei Xue cherished very much.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxue. You can go to sleep after we finish cleaning up. Put the meat in the well at the back and cover it with a basin to prevent it from being taken away by the cat."
Grandma He looked very happy. She was finally enjoying her life. Even though she was her grandson's daughter-in-law, this blessing fell on her. How could she not be happy?
"Okay grandma, I'll go right away." She was just thinking that the meat would go bad if it wasn't scooped out, but unexpectedly, her grandma taught her how to put the meat in.
"Well, remember to put some salt on the meat." I'm getting old, I'd better wait until I wake up to make the oil.
Mei Xue wrote down what her grandmother said, cleaned the table, and put the meat away.
Then he went to the well in the yard and washed the clothes that the two of them had been soaking in.
When she came to the well, she found that the clothes she had soaked in that morning were gone.
And not far ahead, aren’t those clothes hanging on the fence exactly his own?
Mei Xue walked over quickly and took a look. It was clean and had a fragrant smell.
She knew it was the smell of soap.
"It's so good to have grandma." Touching her clothes, Mei Xue stood in the sun, smiling happily.
Now that the clothes were all dried, she went back to have a rest. This day made her excited and happy.
Back in her room, Mei Xue took the time to close her eyes and rest.
In the afternoon, Grandma He took Mei Xue to the fields for a walk. After seeing that the rice in the fields was growing well, she turned back and went to her own vegetable garden.
What catches the eye in the vegetable garden are rows of tall wooden sticks standing there, all covered with vegetable vines.
Mei Xue walked closer and saw that she recognized many of them, but had never eaten them before.
"Grandma, is this long bean?" Long beans, also known as cowpeas, are hung on wooden sticks. They are green in color. When she approached, the fragrance of cowpeas came into Mei Xue's nose.
She found that after arriving here, her five senses became much sharper. She could smell everything, just like a dog.
"You are just greedy. If you like to eat them, we can pick some and take them back later. But they are still a little tender now. In a few days, the cowpea soup they make will be more delicious."
The old lady was very happy that her achievements were recognized.
Seeing Xiaoxue's greedy look, she was even happier: "The leftovers at home can be taken to the street to sell, and then I can buy some candy for Xiaoxue, okay?" the old lady said teasing Xiaoxue.
Mei Xue was not polite: "What candy, grandma?"
Seeing Xiaoxue being tempted by the candies, the old lady laughed even more happily: "Haha, there are all kinds of candies."
She has opened up several plots of land. The old lady is a hardworking and capable person. She is alone at home on weekdays and she has to farm. Moreover, she has opened up such a large vegetable plot. It is really not easy for her.
"Grandma is so nice." Mei Xue hugged Grandma He's arm and acted coquettishly.
The old lady was almost shaken to death. "Let go, let's go and see if the corn is ready. If it is, we can cook some for dinner tonight."
Mei Xue was of course happy. In the two days since she came here, she had tried all kinds of food she had never eaten before. The taste was so delicious.
When she heard about Mi Yu, Mei Xue immediately stopped making a fuss and behaved like a child who had received candy.
Looking at the various vegetables in the field, Mei Xue's stomach, which had been filled at noon, began to get hungry again.
Fortunately, when they walked not far away, Grandma He picked a vegetable from the wooden stick.
Mei Xue didn't know what it was, but that didn't stop her from knowing that it was edible.
"Xiaoxue, come and try it. This cucumber is a little tender now, but it's still edible." After saying that, he wiped the thorns off his clothes and handed it to Meixue.
When she heard the word cucumber, Mei Xue didn't hesitate at all and put it in her mouth and started biting it.
I have to say, it’s really delicious, fragrant, crispy and tasty.
"Grandma, it's delicious." With a mouthful of cucumbers in her mouth, Mei Xue broke the cucumber in half and passed the uneaten section to her grandmother: "Grandma, eat it."
The grandparents and grandchildren ate a cucumber and pink bubbles appeared. It smelled so good that they kissed each other.
"Haha, delicious." Why do the villagers pick cucumbers so early? They wait until the cucumbers grow to be thornless before picking them. This way, one cucumber can be made into a large dish, enough for a whole family to eat.
Grandma He is not a very generous person, but the fact that she treats Mei Xue like this shows that she truly regards her as her own family member.
Otherwise, let alone eating her vegetables, anyone who walks near her vegetable garden will be scolded and driven away.
It’s like she’s afraid that someone will steal her vegetables.
While eating, they walked towards the cornfield. Corn does not have high requirements for soil, and Grandma He is a person who knows how to plan, so she planted the corn directly in the innermost part.
Along the way, Mei Xue discovered several kinds of vegetables.
Of course, there is also chili pepper, which she recognizes.
But it is still a little tender, and you can eat it now, but it has a green taste.
Grandma He ate the cucumber in no time, then went to the corn field and picked one.
Pull open the whiskers and check if the meat inside is cooked.
"Well, the corn is ready to eat. I'll sell it at the market in a couple of days, and then I'll buy some candy for Xiaoxue." Grandma He said with a smile.
This year she grew a good crop of vegetables and she grew a lot, so she can sell them for a good price.
"I'm going to sell vegetables with my grandma." Mei Xue looked longing.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Grandma He smiled happily, "Come on, we'll eat corn tonight, just break off ten corns." Ten corns, five corns each, Grandma He felt that was enough.
How could Mei Xue have enough of such good stuff? "Grandma, can you break off some more?" She really wanted to eat it.
It was only then that Grandma He realized that her granddaughter-in-law was probably a foodie.
"Okay, if you like to eat more, you can break off more, but you have to eat them all." The corns were not very big, and five were not enough. Xiaoxue must be very hungry.
Seeing her like this, Grandma He became worried again: "Xiaoxue, eat slowly, be careful not to upset your stomach, or you won't have anywhere to cry."
During those years, I saw many people who ate too much and ended up bursting their stomachs.
Fortunately, life is better now and every household can afford to eat.
Mei Xue was a little confused, "Grandma, I'm not full." She could eat any more. You know, her strength was slowly recovering, and the consumption must be much greater than before.
This is also the reason why Mei Xue was so excited after hearing that the original master's father had passed away.
Afraid of exposing myself.
What else could Grandma He say, but in the end she only picked ten ears of corn.
Time passed quickly as I walked around in the fields. After the sun went down, the temperature in the mountains became cooler and cooler, which was very comfortable.
