Chapter 274 What he originally pictured was not ginseng
"How about after this autumn harvest, let Tiantian take Jin Pengyuan home and let us meet. If it's really good, we can get them married early. After all, Tiantian will be twenty-one years old soon, so It’s really time to get married. Now that we are still in good health, we can still help them more,” Grandpa Xiao said.
Grandma Xiao thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, let Tiantian bring Jin Pengyuan and Xia Chan over when the time comes, and let us also see what the fourth child's sweetheart looks like. The person who can make the fourth child fall in love, then He is definitely not an ordinary person. He asked the fourth child to show us the photo and refused to give it to him. He had to cover it up and hide it. "
"Perhaps the fourth child doesn't have any photos of her? If he is really dating, can the fourth child not tell her? If he didn't say anything, it means he is still working hard." Grandpa Xiao said.
"Then we have to let Xia Chan come over. Then we can help the fourth child and let the two children get together as soon as possible." Grandma Xiao said and couldn't help laughing, feeling that she was so smart.
Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian have been praising Xia Chan in their letters, which shows that this Xia Chan is really good, but since she has never seen her in person, there is still no way to understand her character. Only by meeting her in person can she do it.
If she was really outstanding, she would quickly propose marriage for the fourth child, but she could not delay any longer.
"Then I will write to Tiantian another day and ask her to bring Jin Pengyuan to the capital for a visit after the autumn harvest." Grandpa Xiao was also full of excitement.
Grandma Xiao said, "Isn't it too early?"
"It's getting late, there are only a few months left, and if you tell them in advance, let them prepare in advance! This way, they don't have to panic and rush." Grandpa Xiao said.
Yuan Bingbing and Zhou Ji's wedding had been decided before, and it was scheduled for May 8th. The two of them would take leave on May 6th to hold the wedding.
Because of Mrs. Yuan, Yuan Bingbing did not invite Xia Chan to the wedding, and Xia Chan would not attend the wedding, but she still prepared wedding gifts. The Yuan family and the Zhou family were in good condition, and they did not need ordinary things. , there is no shortage of ordinary things.
Xia Chan bought two thick lamb velvet quilts for Yuan Bingbing, paired with two zippered quilt covers and two sheets. The colors were common in this era, but the quality was better. They didn't look outstanding and would not attract others. doubt.
Two cassia pillows, paired with two red pillowcases. In this era, pillowcases were used, but pillowcases tend to slip off, so pillowcases are better and are easy to remove and wash.
In addition, ten sets of underwear were prepared for Yuan Bingbing. They were a complete set with the same top and bottom colors. Two sets of cool summer pajamas were just right for their newlyweds.
Although these things are not heavy, they take up a lot of space. Xia Chan said that she changed them slowly one by one with others. Yuan Bingbing and the others would not doubt that when she placed the order, she ordered a lot of them. After all, her brothers were getting married. I will need it when I get married, and I will also need it when I get married in the future, so I prepared a few more copies.
After sending Yuan Bingbing and Zhou Ji to the bus station, Xia Chan handed them two bulging bags, "Sister Bingbing, Zhou Ji, I wish you a happy wedding. What's inside is the gift I prepared for you. Hope you like it.”
"Xiaochan, thank you." Yuan Bingbing said movedly.
After the two of them got into the car with their things on their shoulders, Xia Chan drove the tractor back. When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, she went over to buy some pig offal and bones. Vegetables did not grow this season, and only wild vegetables were edible. Her brothers had to do things, and she You can't let your brothers eat wild vegetables all the time. Occasionally, you should buy some good ones for show.
It's like she only bought pig offal and bones now, but when she goes home, she can add ten pounds of meat, a few pig heads, and a few vegetables. Anyway, it will be enough to make her brothers think she bought it. "Xiao Chan, we agreed before that we would go into the mountains when we are not busy. Do you want to go?" Zhou Qizhi came over to deal with it together and asked.
"Go, of course. Anyway, Fan Qingmei can drive a tractor now. It's okay for me to take a few days off." Xia Chan nodded excitedly. She really wanted to go treasure hunting.
"It takes ten days to go back and forth on the road. At least fifteen days of leave are required." Zhou Qizhi calculated the time and said.
"It's okay. Our family has enough food. Even if we don't work for a month, it's okay." Xia Chan smiled boldly. With her here, can she make her brothers hungry?
Definitely not!
Money and tickets are put in the drawer. Everyone can eat whatever they want and buy whatever they want. There is no need to be too free.
On May 10th, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi went into the mountains with some things they needed. Xia Chan also brought a shovel, mainly to dig for small wild fruit seedlings and ginseng. She was looking forward to those two things the most. She wanted to experience the feeling of digging ginseng.
After the cassava is planted, it doesn't need to be taken care of as carefully as the crops, so it's okay if Xia Chan doesn't look at it for fifteen days. Fan Qingmei can also drive a tractor, but she doesn't know how to repair it yet. Xia Chan told the team leader, She will not be in the team for the next fifteen days. She is a sinecure and does not need to ask for leave.
As for Zhou Qizhi, the reason for asking for leave was that he had something to do when he returned to the provincial capital. After all, his biological parents were in the provincial capital. This ambiguous statement could also make everyone think that she was going back to see her family.
In the first two days after entering the mountain, I didn't encounter anything. After all, it's not very far here. Any good things were found by the people in the team. The further you go, the farther away you are from the production team. Lian Neng There is no way to go.
But starting from the third day, Xia Chan saw all kinds of wild vegetables, but they didn't have time to pick wild vegetables because they were busy on the road, so they only picked a handful of wild vegetables and stir-fried them to change their appetite when cooking.
Walking further inside, you can see the things Zhou Qizhi marked on the route map, apple trees, pear trees, persimmon trees... This place is too far away from the production team, and no one comes here, so these trees It can be said that all the fruits were wasted.
There are indeed small fruit seedlings nearby, but Xia Chan does not dig them now, but saves them for the return trip. After all, if it takes too long to dig them out, they may not be able to survive when they return. If they are dug for the return trip, then they will not survive. In just a few days, the probability of survival is still very high.
After all, in the 21st century, many people are buying fruit seedlings online, and it takes several days for their express delivery to take place on the road. If the fruit seedlings survive, so will theirs.
The two people walked and walked like this, and finally arrived at the place where two ginseng trees were growing. Looking at the green leaves of the ginseng, Xia Chan could also confirm that these were ginseng, but she didn't know how old they were.
When Zhou Qizhi took out the shovel and was about to dig, Xia Chan hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, "Why don't we stop digging now and let them grow for a few more months, and then dig again after the autumn harvest. At that time We can also collect some ginseng seeds so that we can grow our own ginseng.”
After hearing Xia Chan's words, Zhou Qizhi withdrew his hand. What he wanted was not ginseng. If there was ginseng, she would stay with him next time.
