That day, Su Xia went to the backyard to pick vegetables. Seeing that some of the persimmons had turned red, they were ready to eat. She also picked cucumbers, beans, eggplants, and peppers. She finally achieved her own vegetables.
Although I still have space, it is not common in this place. It should be in the south. I'd better use it less.
Niu Niu took a small basket and went among the tomato and cucumber vines, looking for the ones she liked.
When I saw one, I quickly grabbed it, twisted it twice and pulled it over.
"Mom, can I have one?" She was holding a tomato, her saliva apparently flowing.
Su Xia was helpless. This child never forgot to eat. "Go wash your face before eating."
Niuniu was so happy that she went to the well to get some water to rinse it and then ate it. The sour and sweet taste hit her taste buds, and the little boy squinted his eyes while eating.
Su Suxia saw that she was happy while eating, and did not suggest to wash it several times. Now the vegetables have no pesticides, they are really natural!
As he said this, he picked a cucumber, wiped it, put it in his mouth and took a bite - it was so crispy.
Su Xia planned to pick all the edible vegetables, otherwise they would become old.
It was indeed a little early to plant them by herself, and Su Xia picked them with both pain and joy.
Then he heard Chen's mother calling out, and went out to see, "Mom, why are you here? It would be great if you could tell someone to tell me that I'm coming to pick you up."
Seeing Su's mother coming over, although she was thin, her complexion was much better, and she was wearing patched but clean and tidy clothes.
Su Xia looked at Su's mother carrying a small basket. This old woman also had everything she needed, so why would she bring anything with her?
After thinking about it, I said: "Mom, since you are here, what do you want to bring?"
Su's mother had nothing to do, so she came to see her daughter and granddaughter: "It's not far, I just walked over."
Mother Chen was also happy to see her in-laws coming over with the gifts. This eldest sister's family was just nicer than her parents', unlike the second and third sisters' families who always felt cold when they came.
"My dear, stay with your mother and have a good talk. I'll go back first." Mother Chen thought that the mother and daughter were chatting in private and it was not appropriate for her to interfere.
Su Xia watched Chen's mother leave but didn't stop her. "Mom, when you go back and see Niuniu, tell her that grandma is here."
Mother Chen responded and went back.
Su Xia led Su's mother into the living room, asked her to sit down and rest, and went to pour her some water.
Su's mother looked around as she entered the house. It was a clean and spacious living room with bright glass windows, a sofa, a table, and a storage cabinet. Going through the door was the kitchen, with pots on both sides, a dining table, and various seasonings on the countertop.
This is really the best life in the village. No one else has a house as nice as my daughter.
Su Xia watched Su's mother enter the kitchen, looking here and there curiously. It seemed like this was the first time Su's mother saw the whole picture of her house.
The last time I came here, it was not fully renovated. Thinking that I would take care of it one by one, I looked at Su's mother proudly: "How is it, mother, isn't it good?"
"Not only that, people in the city may not be better off than you!" Su's mother was really happy.
"Humph... Mom, you're right. The city may not be as good as my place. Every household has so little space, and with so many people crowded together, there's always a long queue for the toilet."
Su's mother did not refute it. It was true, but most people would still try their best to go to the city to buy a house, because the house could buy all kinds of bills, even temporary houses.
Although the village has no shortage of food and drink, it lacks money and tickets.
Su Xia and Chen's mother walked into the living room with a cup of water and just sat down when Niuniu rushed in.
Seeing her grandma sitting on the sofa, Niuniu ran over and shouted happily: "Grandma, you came to see me"
Mother Su held her grandson in her arms, and kept saying, "Hmm..."
"Niuniu, come here and let grandma drink some water."
"Mom, don't pay attention to her. She's sweaty and hot."
Su's mother was unhappy: "Go away... I love my grandson myself, you stay away"
Su Xia rolled her eyes, but she knew who her original character was inspired from. This was her root.
"By the way, mother: when are you going to distribute the food?"
"Tomorrow, your father and his family will go to pay their public grain tax. I don't know how much they will get." Although the crops were harvested last year thanks to his daughter, he was still worried.
"Xia Xia, you really did a good thing this time. If it weren't for you, the crops in the surrounding villages would have died of drought."
Su Xia herself did not think she was that great, she just did what she could.
Su's mother remembered something and whispered to her daughter, "I heard that people think that there is a fairy blessing in the well at your home, and that you are a virgin beside the fairy, specializing in delivering messages. Some people even burn incense to bless you in secret!" As Su's mother spoke, she couldn't help laughing.
Su Xia: What's going on? Actually, she was also curious about why it was easier to get water from her own well. But then she thought that it must be a well with an underground river outside, and her location was more advantageous, plus she dug deeper, so the water source was more sufficient.
"Mom, forget it! Don't believe it. You should be thankful that I dug an extra seven meters!"
After hearing this, Su's mother also felt that this explanation was correct!
"By the way, Xia Xia, you got a lot of points this time. Are you planning to ask for food or money?"
"Mom, I exchanged the money from my own team for food, and the money from other villages was exchanged for money. It's hard to get too much food, and the money is useful to me."
Su's mother let it go this time because she was afraid that Su Xia would become food insecure.
Niuniu saw the two chatting and was bored. She looked through Su's mother's basket and saw something inside. She was surprised and shouted, "Mom, look, it's a chick!"
When Su Xia heard this, she hurried over to see if it was true: "Mom, whose pet is this? I've always wanted to change it, but our team doesn't have any pets."
Su Xia touched the wilted little thing, it was so fragile!
Niuniu worriedly said, "Mom, is this easy to raise?"
"You and I have raised him until he is fat and plump, but I am still worried that I can't support this one."
Su's mother knew that her daughter had always wanted to raise chickens, so she kept listening and actually let her hear it.
"This is an exchange in the neighboring village. This village has always raised chickens in exchange for chicks and eggs.
Due to the drought in the past two years, fewer chickens have been raised, but some people still raise chickens. Your father has always known that you wanted to raise chickens, and he went to exchange them as soon as he heard that others were raising chickens. ”
Su Xia wanted to keep it: "How much does the mother cost? I'll give it to you."
Su's mother said angrily: "What are you going to take? You have given so many good things to our parents, and you are still short of these few.
I noticed something wrong with you. Before, you were just reaching out to take things back, but now you know how to return the favor? ”
Then he glared at the girl again, saying that she had been fucked a lot.
Su Xia wanted to give it to someone for free, and said, "Then I'll be polite."
"Niuniu, stop touching us. Mommy wants to find a nest for us." Su Xia took the basket and went to the woodshed, where she made a simple small fence, found a broken bamboo basket, put some hay in it, and put the chicks in it.
I'll get you some food and drink later.
I walked into the living room and saw Su's mother and Niuniu chatting animatedly, "Mom, let's eat later."
"No, I have to go back, otherwise your father will starve." Then he briefly told the story of building the wall and dividing the land.
Su Xia was also surprised. She didn't expect that there were so many gossips in her mother's family. It should be that her mother's illness this time made the two old people completely cold.
"Mom, I won't keep you here. I'll go pick some vegetables for you. It'll take some time for us to get home. I'm so early, I can eat them now."
After Su Xia finished speaking, she took Su's mother's basket to the vegetable garden and filled it with some cucumbers, beans, peppers, two tomatoes, and three zucchini. This was a lot.
It’s almost enough for two elderly people to eat for two or three days.
He went to Su's mother and said, "Mom, take this back. If it's gone, just ask dad or my younger brother to come and get it."
Su Xia didn't care about this little bit of food. If she served it well, there would be a lot of food, and she and the kid wouldn't be able to finish it every day.
Mother Su looked at the basket of juicy vegetables and said, "Okay, since I know you have so many, I won't be polite."
Then she stood up and prepared to go back: "Niuniu, grandma is back, go play with grandma when you have time, okay?"
Mother Su touched her grandson's little face, which was so chubby.
"Okay, grandma, then you and grandpa will eat well and sleep well!"
After Su Xia took Niuniu to see off Su's mother, she went back to continue her business of picking vegetables. She also prepared a handful of millet and a bowl of water for the new member, Xiao Jizi.
Live first!
