Chapter 190: Digging Houttuynia cordata



"Go away and don't come to my house! I won't let you into my house!"

Tian Xiaolan said bluntly: "You can't just say you don't want to go in."

"If you come to my house, I won't let you sleep well."

"You can try it."

Tian Xiaolan didn't care about his harsh words. They didn't pose a threat to her, and his father would take care of it.

"Okay, then I won't say anything, and you are not allowed to bully her."

Tian Xiaolan was amused by his words: "You don't let me bully her, so why do you bully her yourself?"

"I just can't let others bully her. I'm the only one who can bully her!"

He is still young, but he has already learned to bully. This habit cannot be tolerated and must be corrected, otherwise Xiaoyu will still be bullied after she leaves.

"She won't play with you if you do this."

But every time he did this, he would receive Xiaoyu's tears, which made him feel comfortable.

"Who wants to play with her!" Fang Ming glanced at Xiaoyu and found that she was not even looking at him, so he turned his head away angrily.

"Well, you don't want to, so it's best not to cause trouble for her in the future."

"I'll do whatever I want, get out of here!"

I don’t know how this kid was educated. His mouth is so foul that Tian Xiaolan even wants to exercise his father’s educational rights on his behalf.

"Okay, if that's the case, I won't be polite either."

If soft tactics don’t work when dealing with this kind of naughty kid, you can use some appropriate methods.

Fang Ming saw her twisting her arms, holding a wooden stool in her hand, and looked at her warily.

Xiaoyu was also there. She moved a few times and scared him, but she didn't intend to do anything else.

Xiaoyu watched the two of them from the side and stopped crying. He thought Sister Tian was so powerful that she could make him speechless.

Wiping the tears from her face, she said to Tian Xiaolan, "Sister, let's not talk to him anymore. Let's go."

"good."

He took Xiaoyu's hand and walked away, regardless of what Fang Ming was going to do.

When the two men arrived at the threshing ground, they saw some people harvesting rice in the fields along the way.

We had already harvested most of the crops yesterday and will continue today.

Give Xiaoyu a chair, put her hat on, and let her sit and wait.

Tian Xiaolan climbed into the cab, started the machine, and kept it running until noon.

At noon, everyone went home and no one invited them to eat.

Tian Xiaolan also stopped the machine and walked back with them, holding Xiaoyu's hand on the way.

Walking through a secluded grove, Tian Xiaolan saw several oval pointed leaves that looked familiar. She ran over to take a look and found that they were actually Houttuynia cordata.

Now she has no tools and the rhizome of the Polygonum multiflorum is buried deep underground. How can she dig it out? This is a good question.

I looked around and saw a shovel next to the fence of the house next door. I took it and used it as a prying tool to get them out.

Tian Xiaolan held the handle of the shovel tightly and thrust it into the soil, revealing the water spinach covered with soil.

The moment she saw the Houttuynia cordata, a happy smile appeared on her face.

A lot of watermelons were shoveled out and there was no place to put them. Xiaoyu took off her hat and used the concave side to hold the watermelons.

The two of them had a great harvest, and Tian Xiaolan returned the shovel.

When I got home, I saw smoke coming out of the chimney.

"Uncle, are you ready for dinner?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I boiled some water for a bath yesterday. My clothes got soaked, and now I'm itching all over. I need a bath to feel better."

"All right."

Tian Xiaolan should have expected that very few men would go into the kitchen, so in the end it was her turn.

After he scooped out the water in the pot, Tian Xiaolan started cooking. The pot was still boiling hot, and the hot water poured in would become warm water. She asked Xiaoyu to help watch the fire while she went to Wami.

The rice Fang Guihua brought her was an emergency, otherwise they would have to eat dirt. She took some out of the cloth bag and prepared to steam rice.

I’m too tired at noon. If I don’t eat enough, I won’t have the energy to work in the afternoon.

So, she took out all the Houttuynia cordata that was still in the hat, washed it in a basin, removed the old roots and whiskers, cut it into small pieces on the chopping board, then chopped the ginger and red pepper, added appropriate amount of dried pepper to the pot and stir-fried it, then poured the stir-fried sauce into the basin of Houttuynia cordata and stirred it evenly. After mixing it well, she took a bite. It smelled fragrant and tasted spicy. It was good with rice.

Xiaoyu also looked at it eagerly, and Tian Xiaolan picked up a bite for her with chopsticks. Xiaoyu ate it and stuck out her tongue, making a "hahaha" sound.

When Tian Xiaolan saw this, she didn't expect that Xiaoyu could not eat spicy food so much, so she scooped a bucket of water for her to quench her thirst. Xiaoyu drank several sips from the edge of the bucket she handed her, and the burning sensation in her mouth finally disappeared.

"Sister, it's so hot!"

"It's okay. I won't use chili next time."

The spicy taste of Xiaoyu was far from that dish and I didn’t want to eat it anymore.

Tian Xiaolan asked: "Will you eat rice later?"

"Um."

"good."

Seeing that she was feeling better, Tian Xiaolan continued to light the fire, otherwise the rice in the pot would not be cooked.

"If you like it spicy, drink some more water! I'll just watch."

“Not spicy anymore.”

Soon, the water in the pot began to boil, the rice gradually cooked, and the rice gathered together.

While lighting the fire, she also had to watch the rice in the pot. In order to cook the rice, she deliberately added some more water. She tasted the rice in the pot and it was soft, so it was cooked.

“Dinner is ready!”

Xiaoyu ran in to carry the dishes and chopsticks. Tian Xiaolan knew it was him by the footsteps and said to her, "Slow down, there's water on the ground."

If she accidentally slipped, she would be in pain, so it is best to avoid any danger that can be avoided.

Xiaoyu slowed down after hearing this and went to get the bowl and chopsticks.

She took it out and arranged it, then walked in and raised her hand to pick up the pot of Polygonum multiflorum.

Tian Xiaolan was a little worried and said to her, "Xiaoyu, is your grandfather back?"

"I'm back."

"Wait for me outside first, I'll serve it right away."

"Okay."

Xiaoyu agreed in a low voice and walked out of the kitchen. Not long after, Tian Xiaolan came out with some Houttuynia cordata.

She could also hear her sadness, but there was only so much food, and if she didn't hold it firmly, she would have nothing to eat. She also knew that she wanted to help, but she was still a child, so she didn't need to be so sensible.
