Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 211 Take it, I said it
Speaking of the tank of oil-soaked fish pieces, a man with white and festering hands appeared in Shu Yingtong's mind.

Dealing with fishy smell every day, fingers and palms wrinkle from soaking, and small wounds are repeatedly infected, like bark soaked in water that has been decolorized and soaked.The white wound opened, revealing red festering flesh.

Since last winter, fish have been sent here every now and then.Most of the time, it is a four-finger-wide crucian carp, sometimes one, sometimes two.

It is difficult for wild crucian carp to grow to more than one catty, so the biggest one must be picked and sent.

Every time Zhu Yu cleans up the internal organs, fry the fish until the skin is golden and heat water to make a milky white fish soup for Zhenniang to drink.

According to the concept passed down from generation to generation, crucian carp soup is the most fertile, so that ingots can be raised white and fat.

This man seldom entered the yard, he tied the fish mouth with a straw rope and hung it on the door knocker, then turned around and left. Once Shu Yingtong happened to come back from the outside and met him, and asked him why he didn't go in.

The man waved his hands and smiled innocently, saying that only Zhenniang was at home, and he was delivering things to the door again, for fear of ruining her reputation.

Thinking of this person, Shu Yingtong looked at Zhu Yu who had turned the small jar upside down on the bench to dry water, "Has the blonde who often sends crucian carp been here for a while?"

At the beginning, she collected the fish twice, and then sent them again. She asked Zhu Yu to send the money over after dinner.

Even if you want to thank Jing Yunyan for saving the life of his youngest son who was poisoned with the detoxification pill, you can't always ask him to repay his favor.

Zhu Yu came back and said that the blond daughter-in-law refused to accept the money, so she had no choice but to ask Zhu Yu to take grain, oil, rice noodles, etc. as a gift in return, as well as ointment to treat fungal infections.

There is always nothing to talk about in human relations.

"Yeah. His old lady fell down at the beginning of the year, and she still can't walk. The old man's bones are brittle. Jing Yunyan treated him and said that he has to take care of them slowly." Zhu Yu frowned, with some pain on his face. Unhappy, he stood up and groaned in the direction of Beicun.

"Jinfa is the eldest son of the family. He has a younger brother and a younger sister who also married in the same village and escaped from the famine. Before that, they were earning food to open up wasteland. The old aunt also looked after the children of the three families, and took care of washing and cooking."

"Aunt Yao originally agreed to let the three of them take turns serving the old aunt, but the younger two have something to do today and tomorrow, and let a few children make up for it. Tell me, how can a little boy have the strength to turn over? Hard work!"

Zhu Yu was indignant, saying that it is difficult for upright officials to break up housework, even Aunt Yao who is as powerful as Aunt Yao can't get them.

The blond brother and brother-in-law are both shopkeepers, and sometimes they run away and only come back every two or three days.The daughter-in-law who stayed at home had to take care of the baby and the work in the family's fields, and she was indeed not idle.

It's just because Jinfa's family are honest people, so they are treated like persimmons.

There are not many idlers in this village, who has no work to do?

After hearing Zhu Yu's complaint, Shu Yingtong didn't want to make any comments. He looked at the weeds growing in the cracks of the bricks by the well, and said calmly, "Let his family grow more vegetables. When your shop opens, we will collect his vegetables." That's it."

On the mountain that day, I met a hard-working woman who poured mushrooms into her basket, and I later found out that she and the blonde were married.

Those who are good at picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables, now that the weather is getting warmer, all kinds of wild vegetables are starting to appear in full bloom.

Vegetable seeds sown in spring have also begun to sprout one after another. Since the matter cannot be solved directly, it is the same to help from the side.

As the sun was setting, Blonde came down from the mountain with his eldest son. He was carrying two loads of firewood, and the 11-year-old eldest son could only lift one load.

The raw firewood was heavy, and the backs of the two were bent a little, and a fine layer of sweat on the forehead slid down the temples and into the temples.

The two walked around to the surrounding house in South Village. The blond put down his burden and raised his sleeves to wipe off his sweat. He smiled at the tired and flushed eldest son beside him, "Go."

"Hey!" Dabao bent down and picked up the hem of his clothes, wiped his face indiscriminately, patted the grass clippings and dead leaves on his body, turned around, grabbed a handful of bundled wild vegetables from the firewood pole, and ran to the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shu Yingtong standing by the well with his back to the door, subconsciously stood up straight and slowed down his pace.

"Hey! Isn't this a big treasure? Why are you here? What's in your hand?" Zhu Yu quickly wrung out the rag in her hand and put it on the edge of the wooden basin, shaking the water in her hand to greet her cheerfully.

"Girl." Dabao said hello to Shu Yingtong who turned around, smiled shyly at Zhu Yu, and handed over the things in his hand, "It was broken on an old tree, my father asked me to bring a handful to it." You add some food."

"Oh, this is delicious! The season is still short, so I can only eat it for a month!" Zhu Yu happily took the large bunch of toon sprouts that were neatly bundled, "There are so many, I can eat two or three meals gone."

"Stand here and wait for me!" She patted Dabao on the shoulder, and ran into the kitchen in a hurry.

"Are your parents' hands better?" Shu Yingtong looked at this half-child who was a head shorter than him, standing there with his head hanging down, apparently at a loss.

Dabao didn't dare to look up at her, stared at the toe of his shoe and nodded vigorously, and replied quietly, "It's much better, thank you for the ointment and rice vinegar you gave me."

The girl asked her father to soak his hands in rice vinegar every night before going to bed, how could the family be willing to waste things...

Now instead of going to net fish to sell fish, you don’t have to touch fish and shrimp all day long, and you can just apply ointment and it’s almost better.

In previous years, when the weather was warm, I always heard my mother say that those chilblains were very itchy, and my hands were full of small holes like brushing bowls, and when I scratched them, the skin was broken and bleeding, which made my heart feel distressed.

After applying that jar of ointment, my mother finally felt much better this spring.

"Hey~" Zhuyu handed it to Dabao with a net bag, "Scrambled eggs with fresh sprouts are the most delicious, hehe~"

The net dangled slightly in front of his eyes, and there were six eggs in it. Dabao blinked and came back to his senses, took a step back and waved his hands, "No, no, I, I'm going home first!"

A handful of worthless wild vegetables, how can I take six eggs back, and I will be scolded when I go back...

Zhu Yu grabbed Dabao who turned to run, "Hey, why are you running! There are many toon buds on the old tree, but it is tall, and it is very difficult to pick those things!"

She stuffed the net bag into his hand involuntarily, "Take it, it's not for you to eat alone. Give Xiao Shitou some delicious toon scrambled eggs, hee hee~"

Dabao hesitated for a moment. There were no chickens at home, and he hadn't eaten eggs for some days.Shitou is a little weak, so take these six eggs back and ask his mother to steam a bowl of egg custard every day for Shitou and grandma to share. It is also good to nourish the body.

He was biting his lip and was struggling, his parents would definitely say that he...

"Take it, I said it."

As soon as Shu Yingtong's cold order came out, Dabao immediately grabbed the net bag, and when he reacted, he found that he had been pushed towards the door by Zhu Yu.

"Hurry up and go back~ I guess your father is still waiting for you outside? If he scolds you, you can say that the girl insists on letting you take it, and you will get angry if you don't take it."
