Chapter 22 Digging Wild Vegetables(1/2)
"Eight, eight months?!"
Sheng Lingzhi couldn't believe her eyes. Aunt Lan's belly was eight months old?!
But it looks like it's three to four months old, and it's not very obvious. If you look carefully from the side, you can see a little curvature.
Sheng Lingzhi thought it was shocking enough that she would go out to dig wild vegetables after three or four months. When she learned that it had been eight months, she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
On the other hand, women are very optimistic.
"yes!"
The woman smiled and nodded, her eyes full of expectations for the future: "If the fourth treasure is born, I want to have another one. Like your fifth sister and brother, there are many people and liveliness."
"!!!"
Seeing such eyes, Sheng Lingzhi suddenly thought of her mother.
According to the age difference between her five siblings, who was her mother carrying and who was following her? Su Mingzhu had been domineering and delicate since she was a child. How did her mother survive day after day and year after year?
Sheng Lingzhi really can’t imagine it.
One on the back, two holding hands, and two more running behind?
Sheng Lingzhi decided to ask her mother when she got home from digging wild vegetables.
"Sister! Sister Ganoderma lucidum!!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Sheng Lingzhi turned around and said with a smile: "What's wrong?!"
"Here!!" Sheng Xiaoju waved: "Let's dig here first."
"..."
Sheng Lingzhi was a little embarrassed that she was so distracted that no one heard her shouting for a long time.
When she returned, everyone had already walked up the slope of the road.
As soon as Sheng Lingzhi walked to the road where Sheng Xiaoju and the others were going up, she heard Sheng Xiaoju say: "Sister! Just wait there, we will be there soon."
"Yep!"
Chun Ya said: "Sister Ganoderma lucidum, wait there. There are no wild vegetables here. We dug up a few shepherd's purses and came down immediately."
"yes!!"
Auntie Lan said, "It's a bit steep up there, so we can just wait here. There aren't many wild vegetables up there, and there are so many people going up there that it won't be easy for us to use our hoe."
As Mrs. Lan spoke, her big hoe banged in Sheng Xiaoju's hand.
The small piece of land was dug quickly.
Sheng Xiaoju and the others squatted down, picked at the vegetables with their hands, and shook off all the soil.
After finishing, they came down.
"Sister!!"
Sheng Xiaoju happily showed it to Sheng Lingzhi: "Look, look, this is called shepherd's purse, this is called plantain, this is called ququcai..."
Sheng Lingzhi looked at her cousin's chattering mouth, her eyes full of doting.
In fact, she knows the wild vegetables above.
In order for her to be a good hostess when she marries into the East Palace in the future, the Su family not only asked her to work hard at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learned a little bit about medical books.
For example, green potatoes are poisonous and should not be eaten.
Turtles and crabs are cold foods, and eating them by pregnant women will affect their children.
Eating snails with beef can easily cause abdominal bloating and so on.
Anyway, certain vegetables cannot be cooked together.
What and what not to eat together.
In short, she knew everything about what and what should not be put together.
In order to let her know these things, the Su family directly bought them for her to see and taste, so as to cultivate her ability to protect herself so that she would not have an unstable position in the palace in the future. But unfortunately, she is not a daughter of the Su family.
Therefore, the Su family spent a lot of effort to cultivate her, but she never thought that her adoptive parents would be so cruel in her previous life.
For her to return to the Su family and do that...
Serve Ganoderma lucidum for a meal.
Why is she so stupid?!
Before the Su family revealed that she was a fake, their family was as cold as ice. In my previous life, I actually expected to be a family member with them.
Ha~
Sheng Lingzhi sneered inwardly as she thought about the past, then regained her composure and continued listening to Sheng Xiaoju.
After speaking, Sheng Lingzhi immediately showed surprise: "Wow!!! Xiaoju, you know a lot, you will introduce me to more in a while."
"good!!!"
Sheng Xiaoju was so happy that she could introduce her to him.
She was jumping up and down, and she was even more cheerful than Mrs. Lan's children. When the two children saw her, they immediately ran to her and overtook her.
“Aniang!!!”
Suddenly, Mrs. Lan's child who was running ahead shouted: "Here!! There is Houttuynia cordata here!!!"
The children's surprise surprised everyone.
When everyone arrived at the place where the children were parked, they saw that there was a road in front of them and a place going down the slope.
A full ten meters.
"dig!!!"
Among the crowd, I don’t know which girl said it.
As soon as the words finished, everyone put down the backpacks on their backs, rolled up their sleeves, exposed their wheat-colored wrists, each picked up his own small hoe, and each selected a small area, bent down, and started digging the soil.
Sheng Lingzhi seemed to be following his example.
But after all, I am not someone who often does this kind of work, and I am new to holding a hoe.
Even if she did it, it was only during the half year of her previous life.
And during those six months, I didn’t dig every day.
Therefore, it is basically difficult to use a hoe to hold Ganoderma lucidum.
She just dug a few times with a hoe, picked up a few Houttuynia cordata, and continued digging. After a while, her palms began to hurt. She looked down and saw that her palms were blistered.
Sheng Lingzhi wanted to endure the pain and continue, but after a few more hoe blows, she felt that her wrist could no longer exert its strength.
With his palms and wrists like this, Sheng Lingzhi had no choice but to stand up straight, walk to the road to rest, and take a look at how everyone was digging.
I saw Sheng Xiaoju holding a hoe in both hands, squatting and digging hard.
The strength is so comfortable to look at.
Sheng Lingzhi couldn't help but look away and looked at Chunya, Magpie, and Axia one by one, and found that these girls, no matter whether they were quiet or lively, were digging the soil with stern faces and fierceness.
Sheng Lingzhi looked at it with admiration.
I dug it myself, and after just a few exertions, there were already bubbles in the palm of my hand.
Of course, Sheng Lingzhi was embarrassed to say it.
Until her eyes fell on Auntie Lan, she was suddenly stunned.
Mrs. Lan was carrying a child on her back and digging with a big hoe in both hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The hoe was raised high and put down again.
As soon as the soil was removed, white and fleshy Houttuynia cordata appeared immediately. There were also earthworms providing soil.
Seeing this fertile land, Sheng Lingzhi immediately asked if there was anyone here. She wanted to open up wasteland for farming.
But for this kind of thing, Sheng Xiaoju had no choice but to tell her: "If you want to open up wasteland, don't ask Zhang Shoucai's family. If his family doesn't agree, planting will be in vain. That Zhang Gouzi will bring people to make trouble, so... sister! We can't plant."
After Sheng Xiaoju finished speaking, her hands unconsciously slowed down.
She looked depressed, and Sheng Lingzhi had no choice but to pat her: "Okay! We won't plant it."
With her consent, Sheng Xiaoju resumed her efforts and started digging Houttuynia Cordata.
Sister-in-law Lan and the two children were checking Houttuynia cordata behind her.
The children picked them up one by one and put them in the basket, and there were more of them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And Mrs. Lan didn't dare to neglect her for a moment.
She used her best strength and speed to dig deep into the soil and expand the place.
