Chapter 18 Let's go home for dinner with grandma
Da Zhuang finished speaking in one breath, and finally said gratefully, "Fortunately, Tian Niu saw a miracle doctor on the road dealing with the bite of a viper, and there happened to be wild celery nearby, otherwise my life would be over. The husband usually tells us It makes sense that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.”

After finishing speaking, in order to show that he was fine with the snake venom, Da Zhuang deliberately stretched out his injured leg and kicked away a small stone next to him, and then slapped his chest loudly.

Da Zhuang made such a fuss, and explained Yao Tiantian's treatment of snake venom so naturally, a stone in Yao Tiantian's heart fell to the ground, and she thought of the creepy big viper , couldn't help shivering again, and naturally fell into Yao Runzhi's warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's over, it's over, uncle is here, it's uncle's fault, it's your fault." Yao Runzhi hugged the trembling Yao Tiantian, patted her on the back, softened The voice spoke softly.

Yao Runzhi's coaxing tone made Yao Tiantian feel a little bit embarrassed besides her heart. She is a decent and modern modern bone spirit. She has gone through many storms and waves. In the body of this little sweet girl, the whole person has become so fragile, she really regards herself as a 12-year-old girl.

Yao Tiantian got out of Yao Runzhi's arms with a guilty conscience, tried her best to stop her crying, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to be playful and forget to go home again." After saying this Yao Tiantian paused for a while, quietly brewed it, and then brought the topic to buckwheat again. She pretended to be curious and said, "We found a strange plant on the opposite hillside. Both Da Zhuang and I I don’t know, I want to ask my uncle to teach me.”

Just now Da Zhuang had already talked about seeing strange plants, but at that time Yao Runzhi was busy comforting Yao Tiantian who was frightened and didn't bother to ask about the plants.Now, Yao Tiantian brought up this topic again, and Yao Runzhi nodded gently, "Well, bring it here. Let me see what kind of plant it is, which can make you all so curious that you even forget your home."

After listening to Yao Runzhi's words, Yao Tiantian quietly grimaced like a child, quickly took out a bag of buckwheat grains wrapped in a handkerchief, and handed it to Yao Runzhi like a treasure, with a happy mouth As he spoke, he raised the banner of Da Zhuang again, "Look, this is it. Da Zhuang said that it looks like the wheat seeds that Uncle mentioned."

Hearing what Yao Tiantian said, Da Zhuang also pushed away the hand of the fifth grandmother who was busy checking his injuries, got up and picked up the buckwheat stalks he had thrown aside, and handed them to Yao Runzhi, "Sir, look, it's There is a large area of ​​this kind of plant on the other side of the mountain."

Yao Runzhi looked at the seeds and vines that Yao Tiantian and Da Zhuang handed over respectively, and fell into deep thought for a while.From time to time, he picked up the straw and squeezed it, and crushed the seeds vigorously. He carefully observed some small dark red particles inside, and gradually showed a pensive look on his face.

Yao Runzhi was deep in thought, and the people around him didn't dare to make loud noises, for fear of disturbing his husband's thinking.Fusheng at the side quietly tugged on Da Zhuang's sleeves, and asked in a low voice, "You said just now, is there a large area of ​​such plants?"

Da Zhuang nodded, and said in a low voice with doubts, "Yes, there is a big one. It's near the small depression in the barren hill of Huang Buren's family. We used to go there to look for game. Didn't really notice it."

Fusheng is also one of Yao Runzhi's students. He is the son of Yang Qiumang who brought Yao Tiantian to Yangjiatun.However, unlike Da Zhuang who likes martial arts, he just likes to settle accounts.At this time, after hearing Da Zhuang's words, Fu Sheng thought about it secretly, and said with emotion, "Looking at the size of this plant's seeds, and such a large piece, if this plant can be eaten, it can really feed many people." .”

Fu Sheng's voice was not loud, but it was heard by Yao Runzhi. He suddenly raised his head and said affirmatively, "I have seen similar records in an isolated copy. If this is really a plant called buckwheat, then it is true. It solved the urgent need of our village."

Gouwa, who had been silent all this time, touched his nose when he heard what Mr. Yao said, shook his head and said, "Buckwheat has yellow leaves, white flowers, red stems, black seeds, and yellow roots. It also has the colors of five directions. Frost is the most feared when it is fruitful. It is especially suitable for fruiting when it rains at this time, and it does not form frost. Farmers call it 'resolving frost and rain'..."

"That's enough, that's enough, I know that you, a little scholar and nerd, are the best at reciting books." Da Zhuang gave Gou Wa a dissatisfied look, but immediately raised his face and said to Yao Runzhi, "Sir, Gou Wa is right? What we found is Is this kind of buckwheat? Is it really edible?"

Yao Runzhi nodded, then shook his head immediately, and said uncertainly, "It's a bit similar, but it's not quite like it. It is said that this kind of buckwheat seeds are the easiest to drop. If they matured last year, the seeds would have fallen off long ago." Yes, but the seeds you saw are still growing on the spikes. I have to go back and look up another lonely book before I can draw a conclusion."

"Sir, let's go back and look it up, see if it's true or not!" The bookworm Gouwa admires books more than anyone else. When he heard that there was another lonely copy, he immediately answered, tugging on Yao Runzhi's sleeve to ask for it. Go back and look.

"What a nerd", Yao Tiantian also slandered secretly in her heart, glanced at her mouth quietly, and pretended to say casually, "That piece of buckwheat grows on the barren hills of Huangdahu. If you can eat it, Whose is it? Even though we found it, will Huang Dahu come and grab it from us?"

Hearing Yao Tiantian's words, Yao Runzhi paused, he pulled Gouwa's hand away, gave Yao Tiantian an approving look, then waved at Da Zhuang and Fu Sheng, and put them together Gou Wa all gathered to his side, lowered his voice, and gave orders like this.

Hearing his husband's instructions, Fusheng trotted to find his father, Second Uncle Yang, while Da Zhuang turned around and led Yao Runzhi and others back towards the mountain. The nerdy Gouwa followed them with a torch.

Yao Tiantian didn't know exactly what his uncle was aiming at, but since he had brought so many people there at this time, he probably wouldn't let these buckwheat seeds go in vain.

Yao Tiantian's heart jumped for joy, all of this is so logical, Yaoxiang boy took advantage of their inattention and turned a small bag of seeds into a piece of unharvested buckwheat, and passed Da Zhuang's mouth Buckwheat was introduced to everyone, and Yao Runzhi also recognized that this plant that they had never seen before was called buckwheat. Everything was so logical.

As the instigator, Yao Tiantian did not arouse suspicion from others, and successfully recommended a large number of buckwheat seeds to everyone. Without anyone noticing, Yao Tiantian was in a good mood and hummed an out-of-tune ditty , followed Gou Wa and walked back.

Who knows, Yao Runzhi seems to have expected Yao Tiantian's actions a long time ago. He kept walking without turning his head and ordered, "The road is not easy to walk at night, and poisonous snakes often appear. Tianniu should go back with Fifth Grandma. I’ve saved the hot gnocchi for you.”

Although Yao Tiantian really wanted to see everyone bring the buckwheat seeds back to the village with her own eyes, but when she thought of that slender and terrifying creature, Yao Tiantian couldn't help but stand still.

The Fifth Grandma bent down and picked up Da Zhuang, dropped the straw bag, pulled Yao Tiantian's arm and said lovingly, "Little Tiantian, let's go, let's go back, let them toss about those men's affairs, you We went back to have dinner with grandma, and we cleaned up this big snake by the way, and made delicious snake meat soup for everyone to enjoy."

Hearing Grandma Fifth's words, Yao Tiantian flicked her sleeves subconsciously, looked carefully at the straw bag in Grandma Fifth's hand, and ran out several steps "Deng Deng Deng", saying in a hurry, "Grandma, I can walk, I can walk, I can walk.”

Fifth Grandma looked at the flustered Yao Tiantian, and smiled knowingly, she no longer insisted on holding Yao Tiantian's hand, and walked in front by herself, "Okay, Tianniu will go by herself, and follow Grandma. Don't go astray."

"Yeah." Yao Tiantian obediently agreed, and followed in the footsteps of Fifth Grandma.

Yao Tiantian walked cautiously along the way. She kept her eyes on the straw bag in Grandma Fifth's hand from time to time, keeping a distance of more than five steps between herself and it, and returned to the village school in Yangjiatun with her heart in mind. inside.

Seeing the small courtyard at the east end of the village from a distance, Yao Tiantian's heart moved, and a kindness rose, where is her home, where her relatives live, and the home that shelters them from wind and rain .

Grandma Wu didn't notice Yao Tiantian's strangeness. She pushed open the courtyard door familiarly, lit the oil lamp, brought a pot of hot water, and said with a smile, "Look at the dirt you're running on, wash it off quickly." Wash it, I'll get you something to eat."

"Well, thank you grandma." Yao Tian responded obediently.

By the time Yao Tiantian washed her dirty little face, Grandma Wu had already returned with a bamboo stick. Yao Tiantian counted secretly, and there were still five vegetable dumplings. It seemed that Uncle and Grandma Fifth still hadn't Willing to eat.

Yao Tiantian looked at the five wild vegetable dumplings neatly placed in the yellowed bamboo sticks, and none of them was missing.But looking at the expectant eyes of the fifth grandma, Yao Tiantian couldn't bear to tell the truth that they were saving money for herself. She didn't want to let down the wishes of her uncle and the fifth grandma.

After weighing it up in her heart, Yao Tiantian held back the tears in her eye sockets, reached out and took a vegetable dumpling, put it in her mouth and ate it in big gulps.
