Chapter 32 Widow Liu (third update)
A bunch of boring people, I don’t have time to play with you!
Behind him, the villagers made surprised comments.
“Hey, what’s wrong with this fat girl? Why are you ignoring us?”
“Did you guys notice that the way she looked at us just now was cold, as if I were changing? Like a person! ”
"Are you taking the wrong medicine?"
"..."
Seeing that the teasing failed, the crowd dispersed to do whatever they were supposed to do.
After the crowd dispersed, a young man in a green cloth shirt standing at the corner of a courtyard wall not far behind the crowd was frowning at the chubby figure who was gradually receding over there. .
There was a hint of surprise in the young man's bright and beautiful eyes.
"Zichuan, I asked you to go to the pond to fetch a bucket of water. Why are you still here?"
A neatly dressed woman walked out from the small courtyard next to her. The woman had fair complexion and hair. Her hair was neatly combed, with a bun on the back of her head and a silver hairpin stuck in it. There is a certain charm between the eyebrows and eyes.
The woman called Mu Zichuan, but received no response. The woman showed a surprised expression and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you looking at, kid? Why do you look like you have lost your soul? ”
The eyes also followed his son’s line of sight and looked over there.
"Huh? Isn't that the fat girl from the old Yang family? Isn't she too sick to get out of bed? Why did she run out and wander around again?"
Mu Zichuan pursed his lips and ignored his mother's muttering to himself. He picked up the bucket in his hand and walked forward.
Widow Liu reacted and hurriedly caught up and snatched the bucket from Mu Zichuan's hand: "You are going to do it?"
Didn't Mom ask me to carry water? "Muzichuan said in a muffled voice.
When Widow Liu heard this, she became anxious and directly poked Mu Zichuan's plump and smooth forehead with her finger: "Silly boy, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Didn't you see Fatty go to the pond? Go? Do you still dare? Go ahead, be careful that she gets entangled with you again, and you can't shake her off like brown candy."
Mu Zichuan stood there, lowering his head and letting his mother poke her finger on his forehead, with the corners of his lips. Squeeze tightly into a straight line.
The fat girl clings to him like brown candy. This is really the thing that confuses him the most. Ever since he can remember, this has been his biggest laughing stock. He is laughed at by everyone when he walks in the village, and he can't hold his head up.
He hates Fat Ya, and he just hates her. He wants to get rid of her.
He never wanted her to die.
In the past few days, there were no classes in school, so he stayed at home to help his mother harvest rice. When he heard everyone talking about Lao Yang's family in the fields, his ears pricked up.
Fortunately, she did not die. If she really lost her life because of the angry words he said that day, his conscience would be cast a shadow for the rest of his life.
"Mom, it's okay. I just ignored her. Just let go and I'll bring the water back!"
After being silent for a while, he didn't know what his mother was talking about, so he asked again.
He wanted to go over and tell her, sorry!
Although, she may not understand it. Widow Liu was stunned for a moment, and then her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You kid, you are really stupid. That girl is always looking for death and survival. You can't get in front of her again. Just walk around and stop drinking. Come to my house quickly!”
Widow Liu couldn't help but snatched the barrel from Mu Zichuan's hand, picked him up, turned around and returned to the courtyard. "Bang!" She closed the courtyard door and then the main room door!
......
Yang Ruoqing passed by the pond at the entrance of the village and was teased by several village women who were washing there. She still kept her eyes on her own way. No matter how they point at you from behind, there is still a lot of meat.
Leaving the entrance of the village, she walked up and down the fields with a basket in her arms, her eyes scanning the field ridges under her feet inch by inch, very meticulously, not letting go of any inch of soil.
After walking around several fields, Yang Ruoqing was a little disappointed. She found that her expectations were a little too perfect.
In her concept, rural fields should be covered with wild vegetables, and even in those fields after the autumn harvest, you can still pick up some scattered ears of grain.
But the fact is that the field ridges are almost all bare. Except for some wild grasses and wormwood that have been chewed by cattle, there are very few wild vegetables that can be eaten by humans!
I searched for several field ridges, but only found a few scattered ones. As for the fields, there was nothing.
These country people live in poverty, and wild vegetables are treasures! Yang Ruoqing stood up straight, glanced around, and found that many of her colleagues were digging wild vegetables in the fields not far away.
She sighed softly. She came out for a trip, but she couldn't just go back empty-handed. So, she turned her attention to the hillside behind the village.
After a rain, there may be more wild vegetables on the hillside. If you are lucky, you might be able to pick fresh wild mushrooms!
Okay, let’s go there!
In the woods where it has rained, the air is moist and fresh, and there are still crystal drops of water on the leaves.
In the forest in front of you, there are mostly pine trees growing in patches. The pine hairs are all red, and they have fallen into thick layers on the ground. Together with the yellowing dead branches and leaves, you can step on them. , soft and soft, making a rustling sound.
Yang Ruoqing held a piece of pine branch in her hand and walked slowly forward in the woods.
In the wild, one of the indispensable tools in hand is a wooden stick of moderate length and thickness. Firstly, it is used to explore the path. Secondly, it can also drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants.
The branches in Yang Ruoqing's hands regularly opened the grass blades under the roots of the trees, conducting a carpet-like search.
In this season, just after the autumnal equinox, many crops such as rice and cotton are being collected and put into warehouses. However, in the mountains and fields, many wild vegetables are in their golden period of deliciousness.
After searching in the woods, Yang Ruoqing found a good harvest. There were many wild vegetables with an earthy smell in the bamboo basket.
Shepherd's purse, mother-in-law Ding, horse head orchid, and a cluster of okra in a shady place.
The color of the okra looks a bit old, and it definitely doesn’t taste as fresh as the fresh ones, but it’s okay, it can be used to wrap your belly!
After the family separation, Tan and the others did not allocate even half of the vegetable garden to the third house. Even the few vegetable plots in front of the house where Yang Ruoqing and the others lived were not allocated to Tan. It is strictly forbidden to touch the third room!
During lunch earlier, Mrs. Sun and Yang Ruoqing made a plan. In the past two days, Mrs. Sun would go to the land assigned to her family and use one or two pieces of land to make a vegetable garden.
