Chapter Thirteen Strange Wild Vegetables
He was thinking about something while walking. He walked on the mountain road for more than an hour before he arrived in front of Zhou Shuli's house.
It's said to be a house, but it's actually no different from a broken earth kiln. Before Zhao Yushu's accident, he planned to renovate their house into a small building with two rooms. Later, he had a cargo accident and all his savings for several years were thrown into it.
In the hospital.
Zhou Shuli comes from a woman's family and has to support a child to go to school. Her life is indeed very difficult. She can't even bear to eat oil on weekdays.
"Aunt Zhou, are you at home? I'm Shuisheng!" Liu Shuisheng shouted while standing in front of the fence gate that fell down as soon as he pushed it.
After a while, the small wooden door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her thirties with a very iconic face came out.
"It's Shuisheng. Why are you here so early in the morning?" Zhou Shuli showed a gentle smile, walked over and opened the fence door.
I saw that her long black hair was casually tied behind her head, and she was wearing a white shirt, showing off her beautiful and alluring figure.
Rural women seem to be more open-minded once they get married. Under their slightly tight shirts, two white jade peaks can be vaguely seen rising high.
Liu Shuisheng's eyes couldn't help but straighten a little, and he said absently: "Aunt Zhou, I'm here to give you a hoe." After saying that, he took out the big herring again: "My godmother asked me to give it to you.
Let’s bring a fish to replenish the body of sister Yingying!”
"I originally wanted to go over and get it later, but I would like to trouble you to come over!" Rural people are not used to being polite, so Zhou Shuli took it with a smile.
Since Zhao Yushu's death, their family has lost its source of income and has only relied on the few acres of barren land on the mountain to survive. When Zhao Yingying was growing, the family had no money to buy meat for a long time, and she was already greedy.
Already.
Liu Shuisheng followed Zhou Shuli into the room and looked around curiously.
Except for an old Eight Immortals table, there is almost no decent furniture in this room. The roof is full of holes, large and small, and the floor is filled with washbasins, water jars, and even eating utensils.
All the porcelain bowls were used.
This family is considered the poorest in Taohua Village. There is a wooden bed in the corner. It seems that mother and daughter still sleep together at night.
"Brother Shui Sheng, are you here?" Zhou Yingying was climbing on the Eight Immortals table to do her homework. When she saw Shui Sheng, she stood up cautiously to say hello.
"Shui Sheng, you and Yingying chat for a while, I'll pickle the fish in the kitchen!" Zhou Shuli walked out of the room with a smile.
Liu Shuisheng came to the Eight Immortals table, took a look at Zhou Yingying's homework, and asked with a smile: "You are working so hard, what are you writing about?"
Zhou Yingying is almost 20 years old this year. She is slender and fair-skinned. She looks like a beauty.
Because the family is poor and cannot keep up with nutrition, the body is slightly thin. But the little face is very handsome, the eyebrows are dark and thick, and underneath are a pair of dark, aura-like big eyes, and the voice can lick
Tired of death.
"It's the math homework left by the teacher. Brother Shuisheng, please sit down!" Zhou Yingying took over the stool she had been sitting on.
"No more sitting!" Liu Shuisheng shook his head and asked casually: "What grade are you in this year?"
"Senior year of high school!"
Zhou Yingying seemed embarrassed to look at him, her little hands pinched the corners of her clothes nervously, her eyes averted, and her pink cheeks turned red.
Liu Shuisheng discovered that this girl was a very shy girl. People in the village said that this girl had a stubborn personality and was very mean to her stepmother. It was probably because she was bewitched by others.
"Brother Shuisheng, how old are you this year?" After the two were silent for a while, Zhao Yingying raised her head and asked, pretending to be brave.
"Me?" Liu Shuisheng touched his face and grinned: "I don't even know, I might be twenty-three or four years old!"
"Phew!" Zhou Yingying covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "I'm lying, I think you are only one or two years older than me, and I'm a pretty good judge of people!"
Shuisheng's eyes lingered on the sensitive parts of her body for a moment.
Girls at this age have begun to show their feminine characteristics. The small beanbags on their chests and buttocks have bulged out. Their two long legs are like compasses, slender and straight. Their little buttocks are stretched tightly by jeans.
, the waist branches are as thin as wicker, and the whole body exudes a youthful and invincible atmosphere.
While the two were talking, Zhou Shuli walked in carrying a plate of washed wild fruits.
"Shui Sheng, there is not much work in the fields today. You are not in a hurry to go back. Have lunch here before leaving!" Zhou Shuli had not seen Zhao Yingying's smiling face for a long time. Seeing that she and Liu Shuisheng were chatting happily, she
I was also very happy.
"No, Aunt Zhou, I'll go back in a moment!" Liu Shuisheng declined.
"It's like this. Your godmother said a few days ago that she wanted me to pick some splendens for her. You just happened to be here today. I will ask Yingying to take you to the back mountain later and pick more."
"Splendens splendens? What is that?" Liu Shuisheng became interested when he heard it.
Zhao Yingying rushed to say: "Sphincterus splendens is a kind of weed. It is delicious. It is not found anywhere else, but it is found here. Brother Shuisheng, let me take you there!"
Liu Shuisheng said "Oh", feeling unhappy.
What's so delicious about a kind of weed? It's probably because her family was too poor to afford food, so she took this kind of thing as a treasure.
Zhou Shuli explained with a smile: "Aquatic, don't underestimate it. This kind of grass is rare. Our village is the only one in the entire county, and it only grows in such a small area. Other weeds grow in spring, but it is a genius in the dog days of summer."
Bud, if you eat it once, it will definitely make you want to eat it a second time.”
"Really? So weird? Then I have to try it!" Liu Shuisheng became interested.
"Yingying, take your aquatic brother to pick more. In a few days, they will die!" After Zhou Shuli finished speaking, she said to the two of them: "I have to go to the fields to take a look later. Last night there was another
It was windy and rainy, and a lot of corn stalks fell down, so I had to drain them!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yingying just responded lightly, as if she didn't want to say too much to her.
Zhou Shuli was used to her indifference and didn't take it seriously. She picked up the hoe and walked out the door.
"Aunt Zhou, let me help you!" Liu Shuisheng volunteered.
"No, no, no, just a little bit of work and it'll be done in a minute!" Zhou Shuli walked away in a hurry and soon left the yard.
