Chapter 217 Why didn’t she think of it?
The Xie family quietly gathered together to taste the delicacy of the world - strawberry fed by the family god.
Two or three people can only take one bite each, but even this one is a top-notch enjoyment. On the way to exile, it was more dangerous to keep food that was not suitable for storage. Xie Yuchuan's words came first, and everyone was obedient to "eat first as a courtesy."
Unexpectedly, just this one bite almost brought out the glutton that had been hiding for a long time.
Mother Zhang had the most strawberries in her hand, and her son had five strawberries each. The old lady was reluctant to eat them at all, so she nervously ate one after her son Zhang Dayi persuaded her to do so.
Zhang Dayi has a way of coaxing his mother: "Mom, this is a gift from the gods. Eat one to prolong your life! If you miss it, I don't know how many lifetimes it will take you to have such a blessing again."
Old lady The culture is not high, but it is not ignorant. "In the morning, I also ate the rice porridge and dry food given by the gods, and my life has been extended a long time ago."
Zhang Dayi said: "Then you will live a long life. ! ”
With one sentence, not only did I make my wife laugh, but Mrs.
Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "Master Zhang is also a rare person who is extremely affectionate and filial. The old sisters teach their children well. He is a very blessed person."
Mother Zhang did not want her son to coax her around in front of the Xie family, so she drove Master Hanlin away. When only the women were left around, the old lady held the sacred fruit in her arms and said with emotion: "I know what he does. I remember all the good things, but to be honest with you, I really don’t want to eat such good things.”
“So does my daughter-in-law.”
Everyone was in the same mood, except for the little child Xie Jiarui, who was nestled in Ruan's arms facing his mother, with his head lowered like a little hamster, his round cheeks moving and gnawing for a long time.
The elders were all chatting around him. His little ears were twitching like gold ingots, and there was only a world of strawberries in front of him.
Ruan's soft palm gently stroked his head. After a short while, the little head under the palm raised his head, stared at his mother, and said quietly and obediently: "Mom, this fruit is really good. Eat it!"
On the side, Mother Zhang heard this and hurriedly took out another one from the special paper bag given to her by her son Zhang Dayi and stuffed it into the child's hand, "Be good, and you Eat more and grow taller."
"Aunt Zhang, this is absolutely impossible!" Mrs. Ruan had no time to refuse. Mother-in-law Zhou hurriedly took it back from the child and wanted to give it to Mrs. Zhang. Pack it in a bag.
Although the things were given by the Xie family’s family god, Mrs. Zhou knew that everyone was able to take a bite of this strawberry only because of Master Zhang’s photographic memory.
Mother Zhang avoided it slightly and pushed forward gently, "I understand what my nephew-in-law means, it's not in the way. There are three others who are rich. The little baby likes sweets. On the way to exile , Where can I find such a fruit? If we adults can survive a little longer, let the children eat more and open their mouths. It won’t last long. It would be a bigger sin not to eat it and waste it.”

"Then aunt keeps it for her health." Strawberries are so precious, Mrs. Zhou doesn't dare to let her children be greedy.
Little Jiarui is a sensible child with a pair of dark eyes. Seeing the elders pushing and pulling each other, he said nothing, his little body pressed into his mother's arms, holding Ruan and turning his head to look at Looking at my grandmother and another great-grandmother with whom I have become close.
Soon, Xie Wuying came over quietly, very surprised, "Sixth brother asked me to come over and ask what's wrong?"
The female relatives looked at each other, and they were all happy.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't shirk the old lady's kindness. We will be together for a long time." Mrs. Zhang had a bold temperament and directly gave the sweet strawberry to Xie Jiarui again.
The soft and waxy little baby stared at the big strawberry that he couldn't hold, and couldn't believe it: "Can Jia Rui still eat it?"
"Of course!" Zhang Shi touched his little head and smiled.
A pair of small eyes are bright and bright.
"Okay, go back to your sixth brother, don't hang around in front of us, we women still have to whisper among ourselves." Ms. Zhang teased.
Xie Wuying scratched her head and walked away with a smile. "Don't make too much noise, it's easy to reveal your secrets."
"Let's go."
Xie Wuying went back to report the news. Mrs. Xie saw her grandson Xie Yuchuan glance at them, nodded slightly and said it was nothing, don't worry, she saw Xie Yuchuan's He lowered his head again, and he and Zhang Dayi were scratching something on the ground with a branch.
Since the family god appeared again, she has become more and more at ease.
After everyone's surprise gradually subsided, Mrs. Zhang looked at the paper bag in her hand and fell into deep thought.
"Why are you in a daze, old sister?" Madam Xie saw that she would be leaving soon, so she wanted to find a place to lie down. As soon as she turned sideways, she saw that Mother Zhang seemed to be worried, and she couldn't help but ask.
After asking twice, Mother Zhang came back to her senses.
Raised his head, met Mrs. Xie's concerned gaze, blinked, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he always felt that he didn't know whether it was appropriate or not.
Seeing that she was indeed thoughtful, Mrs. Xie sat up again and got closer to her.
“We are all a family, why don’t you just say it if you have something to say?”
Mother Zhang nodded, looked a little more serious, and asked Mrs. Xie: "Old Madam, I do have an idea, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not, for fear of losing etiquette."
Mrs. Xie What did the person think? He said bluntly: "Hey, I thought you were uncomfortable, or that you were not polite. Our family doesn't follow those rules. What do you want to say?"
Mother Zhang was heartbroken when she saw this. He relaxed and raised his hand to touch the things in his arms, his old eyes shining: "To be honest, after I tasted the strawberry just now, my lips and teeth were fragrant, and I always thought in my heart that it would be a pity to eat up all this delicious food."
Mrs. Xie smiled, "I have the same idea as the old sisters."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Mme. Said: "What do you think?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "I wonder if this fairy fruit can be planted in the mortal world?"
Mrs. Xie was stunned!
Mr. Zhang thought she had made a mistake, and said quickly: "I'm sorry, it's me who made the mistake. Don't blame me..."
As he said this, Mrs. Xie grabbed her by the wrist. hold.
“What did you just say?”
Mrs. Zhang was startled for a moment and replied: "I, I mean, can strawberries be left to be planted in the mortal world..."
Mrs. Xie: "!!!"
She Why didn't you think of it when you ate it just now? !
Mother Zhang had a sudden idea of growing strawberries.
The Xie family's female relatives were stunned for a long time after learning about Zhang Mu's thoughts, but soon, everyone's mood was rekindled by this idea.
It’s not good to be too excited, it’s easy to attract attention. Everyone can only endure the excitement and feel the same expectation in each other’s eyes.
“Yes, can you grow strawberries?”
