Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 15

Yuxian helped clean up the dishes, Fang and the others put away the leftovers, cleaned all the dishes and went to rest.Fang led Yuxian into the Westinghouse. "Yuxian, are you tired, lie down with your mother for a while."

"Mother, can we chat for a while?" Yuxian seldom gets close to the third aunt's house, and she knew that Junqi was difficult to coax, but it was the first time she saw that she was so difficult to coax. "Mom, was I also such a troublemaker when I was young?"

"No, Yuxian is doing well. She doesn't need to be coaxed by her mother. She knows how to sleep, and she also knows to call someone when she urinates." Fang thought of her daughter when she was a little girl, and couldn't help feeling that time flies. "When you were grasping the week, you held the silver key in your left hand and the abacus in your right hand. It is said that you will be able to plan and make money in the future."

Of course Yuxian remembered how she looked when she caught Zhou, but that's not what she wanted to talk about. "Mother, when you have time, tell Third Aunt and ask her to find someone who understands to show her younger brother. My younger brother was born in Yinshi, right?"

Fang was taken aback. People at this time were still very superstitious. When Yu Xian said this, she understood a little bit in her heart. "Yuxian, have you heard something?"

"Mother, my younger brother was born on the [-]th day of the fourth month. Didn't you think of anything? April [-]th is a temple fair. When the temple gate opens in the morning, is it possible that a boy from some temple sneaked out to reincarnate my younger brother?" ? Or do you always have problems? If you don’t ask someone to look at it, the consequences will be serious. This is what I dreamed last night, and an old grandma told me.” Actually, it was my grandma who said it in the previous life. At that time, she I don't believe it, but she can be reborn in this era, there are some things you might as well believe in.

Fang couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly got up and went to find Zhou. Although she didn't get along well with Zhou, it was related to the child, and she had to say it.

Spring is the season when flowers bloom, and it is also the busiest time for farmers.The field is almost busy, and I am busy growing vegetables in the vegetable garden again.Half a year's food for melons and vegetables is a big deal.After working for a few days, I finally planted early beans and potatoes in the vegetable garden, and sprinkled Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and cabbage seeds in these two furrows.The side dishes are eaten within a few days after they grow, which saves land and does not waste anything.The pepper and eggplant seedlings were planted more than a month ago in a wooden box filled with soil. The seedlings are now more than an inch high and can be transplanted after a while.

Yuxian had nothing to do and still went up the mountain to dig the fritillary and fine ginseng. She remembered that a few days ago, she saw thorn buds in the forest by the river. At that time, the small buds had just emerged. It had been several days. , It should look almost the same.It just so happened that my brothers were herding cattle again today, so I forced my brothers to walk to the forest south of the village.When he got to the edge of the forest, Da Lang still tied the cow to the tree and left someone to watch it.The rest went into the woods.

The young shoots of thorns are also called old shoots of thorns. The scientific name is Aralia longya. Its root bark is a kind of medicinal material, which can dispel wind and dampness, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. It is effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis and stomach cramps.This kind of plant is 1.5 meters to [-] meters high, and the whole plant is full of hard thorns.The edible part is its young shoots, which usually grow on the top. When you pick it, you must be careful of the hard thorns all over its body. It is very painful to be pricked.

The sickle that Dalang brought from home came in handy at this time. When he met Gao, he hooked it with the sickle and broke off the buds.At this time, the thorn buds can be two or three inches long, fat and thicker than an adult’s finger, and the buds are also covered with thorns. After a while, the buds grow up and stretch out your palms, and the thorns become very hard. up.Several people work together in division of labor. The big man and Erlang hook the branches with a sickle, and the remaining young ones go to pick the young shoots.Yuxian sighed once again that the environment that has not been developed is good. Look at how big the sprouts are, and there are many in this forest.Hearing what Dalang and the others said, he also knew that this was edible, but why didn't anyone come to pick it?In fact, Yuxian doesn't know that in this day and age, children are doing all the cooking and wild vegetables. Few children know how to take the initiative to help the family as early as Yuxian's family, even at Dalang's age. I also go out to play a lot, so how can I break off some thorny shoots, which are not fun and sticky.Like the boys in Tong Yunbai's family, Junjie is only one year younger than Dalang, but he runs away without a trace every day. When it's their turn to herd the cattle, they tie the cattle and run away.

Yuxian was stabbed accidentally, her tender little hands couldn't bear it, and she bled all of a sudden.The brothers were all distressed, and they didn't want her to break up any more, so Yuxian had no choice but to plan the mother-of-pearl.At this time, the mother-of-pearl is not easy to find, but fortunately, there are still a lot of fine ginseng, so I will do whatever I encounter.The whole plant of fine ginseng can be used as medicine, and its root system is very developed. The most important thing is the root, so when digging, it should be as deep as possible to dig out all the roots.Yuxian felt that this mountain forest was like a big treasure house, as long as you were willing to bend down to pick it up, you would get a lot of rewards, so the more you dig, the happier you are, and your hands don't feel pain anymore.

The whole morning passed like this. Da Lang looked at the sky and said, "Little sister, it's time to go back. Today is mother's cooking. Let's go back and help mother cook." The cow was untied, and Xiaosan was holding it, and the brothers and sisters walked home.

Mrs. Qin is going crazy at home: "Why do you raise some white-eyed wolves, they know how to run outside in a day, they can't even catch a shadow, and they know how to play like crazy." This is about the children, "Old man Everyone, you don’t need to leave food for them. If you don’t come back, they will all be hungry.” In fact, the workers haven’t come back yet, and the old lady will feel uncomfortable if she doesn’t go crazy for a day. If the children are at home on weekdays, she will I feel panicked again.

"Mom, we're back. Guess what we did to come back?" Yu Xian had heard what her grandma said, and pretended not to hear, ignoring the old lady and only talking to Mother. "Mom, we broke back and pricked the young shoots. They are thick and tender. Let's get some for lunch."

Dalang put down the basket on his back, and it turned out to be a basket full of thorny shoots. Now, Mrs. Qin stopped nagging, "Oh, this is a new item, sir, I'll get you some eggs later, and I'm scooping them up. Some white noodles, wrap the noodles with thorn sprouts and fry them at noon, these thorn sprouts are the most delicious when fried in a pan." Saying this, he went into the house to find eggs and noodles.

The mothers picked out all the vegetables outside, and then went into the house to boil a pot of boiling water. Before eating the thorny shoots, they had to be scalded with boiling water.Fang poured the vegetables into the pot and kept turning them with a strainer to ensure that the vegetables were cooked evenly. When the color of the vegetables changed, it meant that they were cooked.Use a strainer to scoop the vegetables into a basin filled with cold water. When the vegetables are cooler, take them out and squeeze the water out with your hands. Put them in an empty basin, add some salt, and pepper noodles to season and marinate.Then I made the batter with the eggs and white flour brought by Qin's, poured some oil into the pan, and saw that the oil was hot, dipped the thorn sprouts in the batter and fried them in the oil pan. aroma.

Mrs. Zhou was originally in the house, she wouldn't come out and wander around if it wasn't for her cooking, for fear that she would be asked to help.The aroma that filled the yard made her unable to bear to come out to have a look, "Hey, it's thorn buds, sister-in-law, you're really good at it, come back with all these."

"Da Lang took some of the younger ones to break it." Mrs. Fang was also very happy, not only because she added a sample of dishes, but also because her sons and daughters could know how to help the family. "It's broken a lot, my mother said let's fry it and eat it fresh."

"Third Aunt, is younger brother Junqi feeling better?" Yuxian remembered that after her birthday that day, Third Aunt carried Junqi to the Immortal Cave outside the county seat.But I don't know what the result will be, so I just asked today.

"Oh, I really have to thank my sister-in-law for bringing this up. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have asked Master Lin to show Junqi. Guess what Master Lin said? It's exactly the same as what you said " Mrs. Zhou thought of this incident, and Mrs. Fang was really grateful, "Master Lin said, my family Junqi is a alchemy boy next to Emperor Donghua, and he ran away when the temple gate opened on April [-]th. When I came to the lower realm, I was reincarnated into our house. I also said that thanks to the early visit, there is still a way to crack it, so I can make a double and pay some money. If I don’t go to see, this child will not be able to raise, Donghua Emperor He must be taken back, if he grows up and then suddenly disappears, won’t he kill me alive?” Tears came out as he spoke, “Master Lin said that the person who instructed me was me. Junqi's nobleman, sister-in-law, I, Junqi, will be your own son from now on, and I want him to remember your great kindness for the rest of his life." It is said that children are mother's darlings, which is absolutely true, even though the Zhou family usually It needs to be strong, but when it comes to his son, Fang is really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"His third aunt, don't say that. I am Junqi's aunt. Junqi is my nephew, so there is no difference between him and my son. Besides, this is not what I thought of. Yuxian dreamed of a The old lady told her, she was afraid that you would not believe what she said, so let me tell you. This is because there are noble people in Junqi's life, who are pointing us." Fang didn't tell Zhou at first that it was Yuxian who said it. I was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would not believe it. This time Mrs. Zhou asked an expert to read it, and it was the same as what Yuxian said. Mrs. Fang couldn't hide it, so she told the truth.

"Oh, Yuxian, you are the good daughter of the third aunt. It's rare that you can still remember the things in your dreams, and it's even rarer that your mother can tell your aunt." Zhou picked up Yuxian Come on, give her a fierce kiss on the face, "Come on, Third Aunt will bring you candy." Saying that, she hugged Yuxian and went to her own room.

Yuxian was held in the arms of the third aunt, and her head was a little dazed. She just remembered what her grandma said in her previous life, and then she said it, but she didn't expect it to be the same as what the master said. Could it be that grandma is a fairy?She didn't know that these rural old ladies had seen a lot, so they naturally had some experience in it.From then on, the Zhou family treated Yu Xian a lot better.
