Chapter 279 When will I say the chapter?
Niu Yuzhu didn't stay here for a while before he went to take the mother and child back. When he left, he carried one on his back and held another in his arms, and he doted on the two little ones.
During dinner that day, Gu Qingqing took advantage of the fact that Zhao Dong and others were all there and spoke to them about something without their permission.
The reason why she acted on her own was because she and Wen Wuyan had not discussed the matter before.
"Brother Dong, don't you want to think about growing something?" Gu Qingqing asked the people who were eating outside through the kitchen door.
"What to plant?" Zhao Dong turned to look at her in some confusion.
"Well, I didn't make it clear. Look, my hillside is not fully utilized. The hillside next to where you live is not too steep either. Do you want to find a suitable piece of land and plant something? Don't worry, we won't charge you rent. Just plant the land because it's nothing anyway."
Zhao Dong thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it. I can't even afford to eat or drink after planting such a small piece of land. On the contrary, I can't go anywhere because my legs are tied up."
That's the truth, but "it's definitely not enough to take care of all the food and drink, so it's better to reduce the burden a little than to buy food. If it doesn't work, just plant some sorghum, which doesn't need to be taken care of. If the hillside is not fertile enough, I have manure in the pit at home, so I just need to scoop it out when the time comes. If it doesn't work, I can plant some vegetables, which are always convenient to eat."
Zhao Dong saw that his brothers were all looking at him, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
"Okay, if you want to grow sorghum, you have to find the seeds yourself. If you plan to grow vegetables, you don't have to worry about the seedlings. I will start raising seedlings tomorrow, and I will definitely have plenty by then. However, Brother Dong, if you want to reclaim land, you can only move the hillside next to my house. The land at the foot of the mountain belongs to the village, and that cannot be moved." Gu Qingqing seemed to have thought of something and reminded him.
She has the final say on her hillside. She can plant whatever she wants and for whomever she wants to plant it.
However, Zhao Dong and his team are not allowed to touch the land that belongs to the village, otherwise it will easily cause conflicts.
After all, they were not from Niutoushan Village, unlike herself. She wanted to reclaim the wasteland next to her home, so she did.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask everyone for their opinions." Zhao Dong said, then turned halfway back to look at Gu Qingqing and asked, "Are we still going to transplant the bamboo tomorrow?"
"Well, while the soil is still wet these two days, transplant it first. If you need to do something else later, I'll tell you when you come over."
That day, after they left, Li Xin held an oil lamp and shoveled some fermented soil from outside with Gu Qingqing, poured it into a broken pot at home, and put the earthworms they caught today into it to raise.
Before going to bed, soak the old yeast dough at home to use for steaming buns tomorrow.
Why don’t we knead the steamed buns when steaming them?
She wanted to say that it was to save flour, but she wondered if anyone would believe her!
After all, there are plenty of fresh wild vegetables on the mountain now, so if you don’t eat them now, when will you eat them?
Before going to bed, she was still thinking that tomorrow would be very busy.
The next morning, Gu Qingqing cooked a pot of wild vegetable, egg and dumpling soup, adding enough flour, which was sure to fill people up.
After everyone had finished eating, Dahua and Daxin took over the job of washing the pots and dishes, and she took the opportunity to knead the noodles.
Then she found the vegetable seeds she wanted to plant. Some of her seeds were from Luo Meihua's family, and some were bought by herself. She picked all of them that were big, round and plump.
She didn't know how other people germinated the seeds, but the method she used was to sprinkle water in a large bowl, put the seeds that needed to be soaked, such as cucumbers, pumpkins, and long beans, into the bowl, and then cover them with gauze to keep them moist.
Then place it on a sunny windowsill in the house and sprinkle some water every day to ensure the humidity.
Once cracks appear on the skin, you can plant it in the ground.
Then she took the children to the vegetable garden, and only stopped her work when the sun came up and the dew disappeared.
He called out to the two little ones, "Dahua, Daxin, I'm going up the mountain for a while and will be back soon. When I come back, we'll make steamed buns. You two should stop working on the vegetable garden and go to the mountain to dig up more vegetables. If I'm not back yet, you can pick the vegetables first."
"Got it, mother."
"Aunt, is one bamboo basket enough?" Li Xin asked.
"Not too much, not too little. I'll be back in half an hour."
When she was going up the mountain, she deliberately passed by her car and took a look, and happened to meet Zhao Dong and two others carrying bamboos back.
"Thank you for your hard work today, Brother Dong. You guys should pull the cart back by yourselves. That stubborn donkey has not been tamed yet. I am also busy today and cannot come to help you."
Zhao Dong waved at her nonchalantly, meaning that she should go about her own business.
"Come on guys, I'll steam some buns for everyone at noon."
When Zhao Bei heard about eating buns, he asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what kind of buns do you want for lunch? Did you go up the mountain to look for wild vegetables?"
Gu Qingqing stopped and looked back, "I'll go find something else, Daxin, go pick shepherd's purse, and we'll have egg vermicelli stuffing for lunch."
"After hearing that, I feel full of strength. You two old guys, if you want to eat buns, get to work." Zhao Bei didn't know how to write the word death, and he put on an arrogant and domineering attitude towards Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan.
Sure enough, it was followed by his howling.
Gu Qingqing ignored them and went to dig Centella asiatica.
Because she knew where the dig was and could dig quickly, when she got home, Erhua was the only one in the house with Sanhua.
When Erhua saw her coming back, his eyes immediately lit up, "Mom, you're back, are you going out again later?"
Gu Qingqing ruffled her hair, "I'm not going out, what's wrong?"
Erhua giggled, "I don't want Mom to go out. If you all go out, I'll be left alone at home. It won't be fun at all."
"It's been hard for Erhua to be a left-behind child for half a day. It's warm today. Let's go and bring our sister to the yard to play."
Ah bar~
Sanhua saw Gu Qingqing stretching out her arms for a hug, and she couldn't tell what she was mumbling in her little mouth.
"Oh, Sanhua, you missed me, didn't you? Have you been well behaved today?"
Ah ah ah~
Sanhua danced excitedly, and as she laughed, the four lower teeth in her mouth were clearly visible.
"Sanhua called me mother, this is mother! No aaaah." Erhua knelt on the edge of the kang and pulled Sanhua's hand like a little adult to correct her.
But Sanhua still kept making "A-pu-a-pu" sounds~
"Mom, my sister is so stupid. When did I learn to speak?" Erhua looked down on her.
"Ah! You..." Gu Qingqing was forced to fall into deep thought when asked. As a result, she couldn't remember when Erhua learned to speak. She had the impression that Erhua could already call "mother, mother" fluently.
Seeing Erhua's expectant eyes, Gu Qingqing chose to make up a story, "Our Erhua is so smart, he will be able to speak in about ten months."
"Hey, why do mom and sister say different things? My sister said before that I could call mom when I was more than eight months old." Erhua tilted her head in confusion.
Gu Qingqing smiled awkwardly, made an excuse that "there are still a lot of things" to do, and hurriedly carried Sanhua out of the house.
