After finishing their meal, Xiao Li San'er carried a bamboo basket up the mountain to dig rabbit grass, while the other two helped clean up the dishes.
Nanzhi packed some mixed bitter greens and put them into a small ceramic jar.
When Nan Chunxian and Nan Chungu returned home, Old Mrs. Nan looked at the things they were carrying and hesitated before asking, "What are you two carrying?"
Nan Chunxian: "My sister brought bitter herbs for Grandma."
"Bitter greens?" Qian Lanfang, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out with a spoon. "The bitter greens I feed the chickens are for your grandma. She really knows how to serve them."
Nan Chungu ran up to Qian Lanfang and said, "Mom, the bitter vegetable salad that my sister made is delicious."
Qian Lanfang was displeased when she heard this, "It's so bitter, only your sister could eat it."
Seeing his mother like this, Nan Chungu didn't know how to explain.
He ran to the vegetable jar in Nanzhi's shop and reached out to grab a small handful.
It fluttered back.
Qian Lanfang was peeling potatoes when Nan Chungu, taking advantage of her inattention, stuffed a bunch of bitter greens into his mother's mouth.
"What are you, you little brat?"
Wait, this dish smells pretty good.
"Mom, is the bitter greens tasty?" Nan Chungu looked at her with a smile, then picked his nose while waiting for his mother to speak.
Qian Lanfang: "...You little brat, did you even wash your hands?!"
Oh dear, I forgot, his mother is very clean.
Nan Chungu: "Mom, I'll definitely wash next time!"
Two figures, one in front of the other, stood in the courtyard, creating quite a spectacle.
Inside the house, Old Mrs. Nan took a bite and thought it was quite good. She hadn't expected the little girl to have such skills.
But when she saw the oil droplets floating in the vegetable jar, she fell silent.
After finishing the battle in Nanchun Valley, Qian Lanfang threw the broom aside and looked at the contents of the vegetable jar.
Grandma Nan: "What do you think of this thing?"
Qian Lanfang: "What good is it if it tastes good? Mother, look at how much oil was used. I told you this girl is a spendthrift, but you didn't believe me."
Grandma Nan didn't think so. She had tried cooking with this stuff, but the result was still terribly bitter.
But this dish smells delicious today.
Just then, Nan Qun returned from outside. He picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Mom, what is this? It smells so good."
Old Mrs. Nan: "Bitter vegetables."
“Bitter herbs are for feeding chickens, Mother. Are we so poor that we have to eat bitter herbs?” Nan Qun said in frustration. “It’s all my fault for being so useless.”
Qian Lanfang: "Zhizhi brought it over."
"It was Zhizhi who brought it over. It's alright then."
Nan Qun picked up a few more chopsticks and put them in his mouth.
Grandma Nan: "What happened?"
Nanqun put down his chopsticks: "Mom, do you know how we dug up the seeds back then?"
Grandma Nan nodded: "What's the explanation?"
"The process of digging out the seeds for these potatoes was all communicated to the village chief by the branch, and then the village chief would gather people to dig and remove the seeds."
"so?"
Nanqun: "So if Zhizhi says it's edible, then it's definitely edible!"

At the Nan family home, Zhao Hui woke up feeling itchy all over. When she looked in the mirror, she screamed in surprise.
The person in the mirror had many red spots on their face, and they were very itchy.
When Nan Cheng came in and saw his mother's appearance, he was immediately frightened and went to find Shu Zhizhen.
"Grandma, Mom has become ugly."
As soon as Shu Zhizhen arrived, Zhao Hui cried and said, "Mother must have done it to that girl Nanzhi."
She stole Nanzhi's things yesterday, and today she broke out in a rash on her face.
Shu Zhizhen was shocked. Could that girl really have such great abilities?
She was the one who kept watch over Zhao Hui yesterday, and today Zhao Hui has developed a rash on her face, but why doesn't she have one on her face?
It seems that girl must be afraid of her.
At such a young age, how could anyone not be afraid of their mother?
Besides, she only found out yesterday that the girl actually had such precious things as rice and flour.
Instead of using such good food to show filial piety to their parents, they secretly ate it themselves.
Moreover, after her second son was imprisoned, Shu Zhizhen could no longer hold back.
Nankai is at home today. His two sons are in jail, and even his title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the imperial examinations) has been revoked. This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to him.
“Honey, are you just going to sit here like this? Our son was sent to jail by that little bitch, and you didn’t even dare to fart,” she pulled Zhao Hui over. “Look at you, now they’re bullying us.”
At the same time, Cherry warned Nanzhi: "Warning, warning, danger is approaching."
Nanzhi is at home; what danger could there be in her home?
But the system's prompts were never wrong, and Nanzhi immediately called back the precious beast and the two wolf cubs that were playing outside.
Nanzhi narrowed her eyes as she saw the approaching group.
They came knocking on our door after only a few days.
With Song Hanyan gone, she had to face all of this alone.
"Nanzhi!" Zhao Hui stepped forward. "What exactly did you do to me?!"
Nanzhi smiled: "What do you mean?"
"Stop pretending! You dare say you didn't put that stuff on my face?"
Nanzhi asked in confusion, "Your face? Ugh," Nanzhi said with great disgust, "Sister-in-law, you should find something to cover up. Going out like this might scare people."
"Stop playing dumb with me, just you wait."
Nan Wenxuan interrupted Zhao Hui, then pulled her behind him and scolded, "Shut up!"
Nanzhi looked at them and said, "What brings you all here today? You've brought your whole family. Are you trying to freeload a meal?"
Shu Zhizhen glared at Nan Zhi: "You sent Wen Qing to prison at such a young age, what were you thinking!"
Nankai was heartbroken: "That was your second brother after all."
"Second brother?" Nanzhi scoffed. "Don't you know whether I have a brother or not? My disownment document is still here. Why don't you two take a good look at it?"
