Xianggong farming

Chapter 163
Wishes are beautiful, but reality is skinny.The bullock cart was still the same cow and horse, and the old cow was still the same old cow. When the two returned to the village, it was dark everywhere.People in the countryside, except for those who have a better life, only eat two meals in winter, and go to bed early when it gets dark.

Qi Dalang gently drove the cart into the yard, unloaded the things, and sent the cattle to the bullpen.

Looking at the dark house, Ji Xinmiao decided not to go home so late again.Although he really wanted to sleep, but after thinking about walking all day and Qi Dalang driving for half a day, he must be even more tired.So she started to light the stove, heated a large pot of hot water, and then called Qi Dalang who was going to heat the kang: "Master, is the kang heated?"

Qi Dalang clapped his hands and came in from behind the house: "It's hot, daughter-in-law, take a shower first."

Just as she was about to take a bath, she suddenly remembered that when she left this morning, she didn't ask Qi Hong to help her water the bag of mushrooms in the shed. Ji Xinmiao called him: "Master, bring me a bucket of hot water. It's too cold today." Yes, the shiitake mushrooms were picked yesterday, I have to pour lukewarm water."

As soon as Qi Dalang heard this, he immediately put down the things in his hands, picked up a bucket and heated it up, and said: "Daughter-in-law, I'll carry the water and you take the torch."

There are not many shiitake mushrooms in the bag, so there is no need to worry about a large tank connected to the cold water shed, so Ji Xinmiao took an empty bucket and melon spoon and walked ahead, and slept in the carriage in the afternoon, she is not sleepy .But thinking that Qi Dalang hugged him for two hours, he must be tired, so Ji Xinmiao walked faster.

Suddenly, Ji Xinmiao stood dumbfounded at the door of the shed...

Seeing his daughter-in-law standing at the door of the shed, Qi Dalang was startled: "Daughter-in-law, why don't you go in?"

Ji Xinmiao pointed to the bag of mushrooms in the shed and asked tremblingly, "Master, take a look..."

Qi Dalang put down the hot water bucket in his hand and quickly approached the pile of mushrooms, he was also dumbfounded: "This, this..."

The bare mushroom bag made Qi Dalang's words choke in his throat.

Yesterday, when they pulled the shiitake mushrooms, the shiitake mushrooms that didn't bloom were all left in the shed?How come there are only bags in one day?Is it a thief?
Ji Xinmiao knelt down and carefully rummaged through the mushroom bags, trembling hands: "Master, which one came in? This man is so cruel that he even picked off the mushroom buds. If these little stakes were not real, If it’s not enough to fit between the teeth, surely it won’t be left behind, right?”

Qi Dalang shook his head and looked at the overturned mushroom bag, frowning: "I can't think of anyone who will come in. Although there are dozens of families in the village, except for the children who will go to the vegetable garden to pick some melons and fruits. Will it attract thieves?"

Originally, after three days, a batch of well-grown shiitake mushrooms would come out of the shed. If the mushrooms were not heated, if Qianweilou came to pull them on the fifth day, there would definitely be more than this time.

It can be seen that even the mushrooms with the size of fingernails were picked off from the mushroom bag, and the mushroom bag that she regarded as a treasure that she would not even let go of with heavy hands was turned over on the ground, Ji Xinmiao was so distressed Just wanted to scold people.But can cursing solve the problem?And when she didn't know what to scold, she had no choice but to hold back her anger and start to remedy it!

After the two men helped the oily paper bags containing the mushroom medicine one by one, being careful not to let them scatter, they heated up the shed and poured water on the mushroom bags twice, and it was already the third watch.

Because she felt sorry for the shiitake mushrooms, she didn't sleep well for half the night.Just as Ji Xinmiao, who was in a drowsy sleep, hadn't woken up, she was awakened by crying outside the house.

"A heartless guy like you, why didn't God accept you? I've never seen you so ruthless before, and dared to accuse your mother. You are really a heartless little sparrow! A little sparrow with a long tail to marry There is nothing wrong with a daughter-in-law and a forgotten mother, since ancient times. Even if you were not born by me! But you were also raised by me, right? What if I pick you a basket of mushrooms to eat? It is only right and proper for a son to honor his mother and father! How dare you come to me to ask questions, I want people in the world to judge, what do you dare to do if I picked your mushroom!"

Qi Li's shrew-like voice came into the house, making Ji Xinmiao lose sleepiness at all. It turned out that this person ruined her treasure yesterday!Suddenly, Ji Xinmiao sat up with a "sigh" and frantically looked for clothes.

At this time, Qi Dalang stood aside with an angry face and was so angry that he didn't say anything.His heart ached, he never imagined that the shiitake mushrooms that he and his wife worked so hard to grow were ruined by Mrs. Qi and Li!Moreover, he can't even ask!
Actually, where did he come to accuse the stepmother?He just loves his wife. She was sad for half the night last night, right?He got up early in the morning to ask Qi Hongshi who went to the shed yesterday.Knowing this, Qi Hongshi hesitated to say that it was Qi Lishi.

In fact, Qi Dalang didn't say anything about Qi Lishi, he just said that if you want to eat shiitake mushrooms in the future, wait until the shiitake mushrooms grow up a bit before picking them.Eat as much as you want, and let them eat as much as you want. It would not be a pity if you had better grow up and then pick them.

Unexpectedly, Qi Li felt that Qi Dalang dared to speak up after picking some mushrooms from him, so he cried and made troubles, making Qi Dalang unable to step down.

Qi Lishi's performance, which is excellent even though she cries, keeps calling Qi Dalang unconscionable. This is her intention to tarnish Qi Dalang's reputation!
He had already reached the door, thinking of Father Qi's favoritism towards the couple, Ji Xinmiao stopped again.I wanted to forget it, it wasn't her Ji Xinmiao pretending to be the Virgin, she was going out to pair up with Qi Lishi, and Qi Lishi took the opportunity to shoot at her.In this backward era that pays attention to etiquette, the juniors cannot criticize and curse the elders!
But when Ji Xinmiao heard Qi Li's harsh words against Qi Dalang, a wave of anger surged from the bottom of his heart. It's really tigers who don't show their power. Think they are sick cats?So he rushed out with a "swoosh", wanting to have a fight with Qi Li.Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of Qi Erlang and his wife, she still held back, after all, she is the biological mother of the three brothers of the Qi family.So she ran out and grabbed Qi Dalang's arm and said, "Forget it, Mr. Xianggong, let's go."

I wanted to calm things down, so I have to look at the Buddha's face even if I don't look at the monk's face, right?After all, the family got into a fight over a few shiitake mushrooms, making the neighbors laugh at them.Besides, Ji Xinmiao knew that she was a junior, if she really had a direct conflict with this titular mother-in-law, it would be her who would suffer.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi and Li didn't accept her favor: "Master Ji, stop! Is it your idea to let Da Lang come to find me today?"

Ji Xinmiao hadn't completely let go of her love for Xiangru, when she heard Qi Li's shrew-like noise, she realized that not everyone understands the reason why people are not afraid of others.So she simply stopped, turned around and looked at her quietly and asked, "Mother-in-law, are my shiitake mushrooms too delicious? They are so delicious that you don't even let go of the shiitake mushroom seeds? Are there no bubbles in your mouth?"

This sentence can stab a hornet's nest...
