Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 520 Taking in Yang's Mother and Son (3)
In addition to wholesale Chinese cabbage, radish, pumpkin and other vegetables in the cellar, there are also batches of pickled vegetables.

Of course, rice noodles are essential.Of course, Sun Meixiang also thought about this question at the beginning.You can't just sit and eat, can you?So I turned my thoughts to the article about bamboo forests, and it is possible to come up with the idea of ​​winter bamboo shoots.

Thinking of winter bamboo shoots, she remembered the story of the winter bamboo shoots that her father gave her when she was a child, that is to say, the origin of winter bamboo shoots.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a young man in the mountains who was very filial to his old mother.One winter, the old mother was sick, and she didn't want to eat anything but bamboo shoots, but there were no bamboo shoots on the ground in winter.In order to honor his mother, the younger generation had to go to the bamboo mountain to look for it every day, but he couldn't find it after searching all over the mountain.

He hugged the bamboo sadly and cried. The mountain god was so moved that he turned into an old man and pointed out to the younger generation, "The little bamboo shoots are still up there in winter. You just have to dig deep and there will be bamboo shoots." After hearing this, the younger generation hurriedly Picking up the hoe and digging, I found small bamboo shoots on the bamboo whip deep in the soil.

His mother ate winter bamboo shoots and recovered quickly.That young man taught the mountain people how to dig winter bamboo shoots.Since then, people have added another "mountain delicacy" - winter bamboo shoots to people's winter table.

She remembered that her father said that winter bamboo shoots are actually also called "filial bamboo shoots", and there is also a kind of bitter bamboo shoots called "unfilial bamboo shoots".I also told the origin, but she has never eaten that bitter bamboo shoot.

In order to earn more money, Sun Meixiang often ran to the mountains, and even had someone build a set of bamboo shoot digging tools.Needless to say, she was very lucky.Just when she was about to despair, she really found her.

It's just that these winter bamboo shoots are rare, and after she dug them out, they were sold at an extremely high price.Back and forth, I made ten taels of silver.It was also because of this that she spent two taels of silver in the cellar and shopping, so her heart didn't hurt so much.

The north wind was blowing outside, and it seemed that it was almost Laba.The food at home was sufficient, and the clothing and coverings were warm. Sun Meixiang finally felt at ease.

"Grandma, someone fell on the ground at the door." When Sun Meixiang was sewing clothes for Yangyang and Shitou in the house, she suddenly heard the child's yelling and hurried out.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you? Come into the house quickly." Sun Meixiang helped a woman who was thin and out of shape in thin clothes into the house.

"Ah, it's so hot, what should I do?" Sun Meixiang turned around anxiously. "Yes, boil hot water, I think I have a cold, just drink more water."

Thinking of this, Sun Meixiang hurried to the kitchen and boiled a lot of hot water.Bringing a bowl over, he lifted the woman up, pinched the corner of her mouth, and poured it in.

"Grandma, is she okay?" Yangyang and Shitou were very curious, especially the woman who fell in front of their house.

"It's okay, grandma promises. Well, go and play by yourself." Sun Meixiang looked at the woman who was still having a high fever, and went out to fetch a basin of water.

She didn't know where there was a doctor nearby, so she would ask Qiao Niang when the fever subsided a little.

"Doctor, how is she?" Sun Meixiang anxiously asked the doctor who had just had his pulse checked.

"It doesn't matter, it's just some heart disease, coupled with long-term unbalanced diet, and overwork, caused by some wind and cold. As long as the fever subsides, rest more, and eat well."

Sun Meixiang thought it was nothing at first, but when she heard so many names, she immediately became dizzy.Hey...look at this woman, she is also a miserable person.

It's winter, and I'm still out alone, with such thin clothes, it would be strange if I didn't catch a cold.Forget it, I'm not short of that morsel now, so I'll save it until she recovers.

As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.Now that I am doing this kind deed myself, I think it will be good for the two little milk babies in the future.

"Um, where is this?" Yang woke up leisurely, as if the temple she lived in was not so warm, so where is this?

When she opened her eyes and realized that this was a strange place, she was a little stunned.

"Grandma, you're awake." Shitou was the first person to notice that she was awake, and staggered towards the room where Sun Meixiang was, yelling.

When Sun Meixiang came over, she saw Yang supporting her body and wanted to get up.

"Sister-in-law, you are still weak, don't get up, lie down." Sun Meixiang stepped forward and pushed Yang back to the bed, carefully admonishing her.

Slowly, Sun Meixiang learned that her surname was Yang and that she had a 17-year-old son named Lin Xia.For the sake of other women, Lin Xia's father abandoned them and drove them out of the house.

Now the two are living in a ruined temple not far from their home, and the sister-in-law Yang is sick and has no one to take care of her.Lin Xia goes out to work every day just to make a living and feed herself and her mother.There is no extra money to rent a house, and now this sister-in-law Yang is sick, and she still insists on washing clothes for others.

The reason why she fainted in front of her house was because she was thinking about whether she could go out and pick up some laundry workers when it was cold.

It's cold, and everyone doesn't like washing. Maybe she can take advantage of this time to earn more money.So that it can be saved for Xia'er to marry a daughter-in-law.

"Sister Meixiang, thank you for taking care of me. I'm much better now. I won't go back again. I'm afraid Xia'er will be in a hurry." Yang Shi stood up and felt that she had more strength, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

Laba Festival

"Grandma, can we let Grandma Yang and Uncle Xia stay at our house?" Yang Yang begged, holding Grandma who was cooking Laba porridge.

It's very cold today, as soon as grandma goes out, there is something to do.Grandma Yang will come to play with him and his younger brother. Although Grandma Yang often doesn't speak, he and his younger brother can feel that Grandma Yang is as good to them as his own grandma.And Uncle Xia too.

Sun Meixiang looked up at the snowy sky, and nodded.Said to Yangyang and Shitou: "Then Shitou and Yangyang go with grandma to invite Grandma Yang and Uncle Xia to live with us."

Seeing that they are really good to themselves and to their two grandchildren, let those two poor people come over and be their company.

As soon as I save myself going out, the two children at home are left unattended, which is worrying.Now I have about 11 taels of silver on hand. She sold all the persimmons before, and later found a lot of wild fruits in the mountains, and sold them all together to subsidize the family.

"Is Sister-in-law Yang there?" Sun Meixiang didn't even have to knock on the door, as the temple was a ruined temple without even a door.The inside is dilapidated, although it has been tidied up very clean, but it can still be seen that if it snows heavily, will this dilapidated temple be crushed?

"Here, sister Mei Xiang, come in. Cough..." Yang's weak cough came from inside.

"Sister-in-law, you and Xiaoxia can go back to live with me!" Sun Meixiang was a little worried when she saw Yang's flushed face.
