The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 143: The Scholar Gets Angry (2)
"Oh! The seedlings only sprouted in the pots last time!" These chili seeds were given to her by Aunt Gao, because there were too few, Su Xiazhi didn't dare to plant them herself, fearing that they would not be able to support them.Instead, they were all given to Su Chunlai, who knew how to serve the crops.

"You idiot! You're a grown man, why are you still so rough!" The girl who just came in ran out before finishing her sentence.Aunt Su could only look at her back and shake her head.

"My uncle didn't follow?" Aunt Su asked in a low voice when she saw her daughter went to the backyard.

"Brother-in-law didn't follow, so my sister came back alone." Yang Qiaolian swayed to the chair with her back on her back, her stomach outstretched, and then she sat down and stood up again: "Why are you so useless when you're pregnant with a child? Toilet!"

The backyard of the Su family used to be a large area, but now Su Chunlai made only a small path.

A chicken coop was built in half of the backyard, and he plucked the feathers from the wings of more than 100 chickens. Now they just walk around quietly on the ground like quails.

Most of the backyard is full of peppers, and now there are green peppers hanging, which are about to mature.Su Chunlai squatted in the pepper field and took a pepper and was feeding the dog: "Eat!"

Er Lengzi stuck out his big tongue and licked his nose, and turned his head away.

"Brother, you really planted this at home!" Seeing the peppers all over the place made Su Xiazhi's blood boil, as if seeing a fellow villager, she just wanted to rush over and take a bite one by one!
This world is far from modern society, and many things that are common in modern life have not yet appeared.

Chili is one of them!This made Su Xiazhi, who had a lot of fun and spicy food, really depressed for a while.

Whether it was in the town or in Ping County, she had carefully searched for it. At that time, the condiment that could have a slightly spicy taste was cornel.

But Su Xiazhi couldn't get used to that taste.She missed the chili peppers so much that her mouth was on fire and her body was sweating. Now that she finally saw them again, she couldn't help but want to pick a few and fry them with meat and eat them with rice!

"Didn't you say that this thing can't be seen by outsiders? Then it can only be planted at home." Su Chunlai turned to look at his sister, and continued to stuff chili peppers into the dog's mouth: "Eat! If you don't eat this, you won't be able to eat!"

"It doesn't eat this!" Su Xiazhi walked over cautiously, snatched the pepper that he broke off in his hand, sniffed it greedily, and then sneezed.

"Dogs don't eat it, can people eat it?" Since his sister gave him the small bag of chili seeds, he took it home and planted it in a pot first.When all the seedlings came out, I opened a plot in the backyard and moved them directly to the field.

"Don't worry, it's definitely edible! Brother, you have to wait for these chili fruits to turn red before picking them!" Holding half of the chili crushed by him, Su Xiazhi felt a little distressed.

I harvested these this year and kept the seeds, so I can plant a lot next year.Only when there are many species and a scale can peppers show their value.

Su Xiazhi thought that next spring, her brother would plant some in the field, and in autumn, she would be able to produce a lot of new things... At that time, the pickled eggs at home, plus the noodle workshop, plus this pepper, Thinking of the more and more prosperous days, she felt hot in her heart!
But Su Chunlai's idea is simpler.My sister said that this thing is called chili pepper, which is a rare thing, and Daliang only has it.So make him watch closely.Then he planted these things in his backyard.

Originally, there were very few people visiting his house, but with him and the dog watching together, there must be no one left!
When it was just planted, the hens in the chicken coop often flew over from the chicken coop and spoiled the young seedlings. After bombarding them a few times, he plucked the chicken feathers directly, and only then did the happy hens stop.

But now that the peppers were about to mature, Su Chunlai felt suspicious again.He had never seen anything that had been planted.Occasionally pinching one of his rough-skinned and thick-skinned fingers would be so hot and painful!

So he began to doubt whether this thing could be eaten.

So I picked one to feed the dog every few days, and picked another one to feed the dog every few days... This forced his family's fool to eat for a long time.Su Chunlai thought: When the dog is not poisoned to death by the time of harvest, then this thing can be eaten!
Yang Qiaolian trotted into the latrine with her skirt in hand. Su Chunlai looked up and then lowered his head to pull the weeds: "You just stay in there. I'll call you when Mommy prepares the meal."

"Pfft!" Su Xiazhi had just rescued the dog from his brother's clutches, and heard him say something strange, so she couldn't help asking, "Is my sister-in-law going to give birth too?"

Su Chunlai shook his head: "I don't know, you can ask her, I never gave birth."

"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense!" Yang Qiaolian walked out of the latrine after tying up her skirt, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mother said that it will be like this when the month is old, and it will be fine after giving birth."

"Oh." Su Xiazhi nodded, and then remembered the purpose of her trip, so she helped Yang Qiaolian, who was a little stumbling, to the front yard: "What's going on with Min Qinglan?"

"Did you hear the letter?" Yang Qiaolian turned her head to look at her sister-in-law's face and asked tentatively, "Your brother-in-law also knows?"

"I received a message from Zhou's family early in the morning, saying that Min Qinglan was having a difficult labor, so I must have something to do with it. The difficult labor was three days old, why did you send the news when she was dying?" Su Xiazhi's heart sank when she heard her sister-in-law's tone: Sure enough, something happened!

The two aunts and sister-in-law went back to the east room together, only then did Su Xiazhi discover that Aunt Su was sitting on the kang making a small quilt, using a piece of flower cloth she bought quite early.

Yang Qiaolian is now heavy and sat directly on the chair.Su Xiazhi sat sideways on the edge of the Kang and took a look, there was a small flower quilt under her mother's buttocks.

Seeing the daughter reaching out to touch the thickness, Aunt Su moved her buttocks: "My grandson's is here, press it, it's smooth."

"This, this is too urgent!" The mother was impartial, and the daughter and daughter-in-law each had a piece of quilt made from a piece of cloth, which happened to be two swaddling clothes for the child.

"Sister-in-law, it's all yours." Thinking that Min Qinglan was dying because of having a child, Su Xiazhi shied away from this, turned around and sat at Yang Qiaolian.

"Tell me, what's going on with the Zhou family."

"Zhou Li is the most face-saving person. He is used to wagging his head and tail in our village. This time, his eldest son has nowhere to put his old face!" Yang Qiaolian has always been against Zhou Lizheng because of the flooding of the farmland. Now that something happened to his family, she said it with a bit of schadenfreude.
