80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 40: People’s hearts are firm

 “Grandma, this thing is really edible.” Mei Xue said with a surprised look on her face.

“Of course, these things grow all over the ground, everywhere. Look, they are all on the mountains behind here.” He pointed to the dug back wall of his house. ,

Meixue chewed the iron loquat for a few times before swallowing it. "Grandma, these are much sweeter than the fruits sold on the street."

"No, that fruit is so expensive on the street. This stuff is sweet and watery, much better than that fruit." Grandma He said happily after hearing what Mei Xue said.

 No one is happier than others who like things in their own village.

 It's like getting a kind of recognition.

“Milk, let me pick more and eat it as fruit for you.” Everyone in the village eats wild fruits from the mountains. To be honest, there is really nothing sweet, and they all have a hint of sourness.

Of course, this is just Mei Xue’s own imagination.

"No, you can pick them if you like. There are a lot of delicious fruits in the mountains. In a few days, you can eat plums, grapes, plums, and oranges on the mountains. If you like them, grandma will take you to pick them." "

There is a lot of food in the mountains, and you can find something to eat almost all year round.

 This is also the reason why all the children they gave birth to here survived during the great disasters in those years.

 It’s not that easy outside. At that time, Mei Xue’s family came to the next village to escape the disaster.

Mei Xue’s eyes lit up when her grandma said there were so many delicious foods, “Why didn’t I see it?”

“Haha, you don’t know where it grows. Look, there is a sour orange tree in front of our yard. That thing quenches thirst, but it’s too sour.”

Grandma He began to count the wild fruit trees she found to Mei Xue, just like counting treasures.

She knows very well who owns which fruit trees.

 After hearing this, Mei Xue’s eyes were even brighter.

 “Grandma, what can we eat now?” This is what Mei Xue is most concerned about.

"The only thing you can eat now is plums, but they are still a bit sour. If you want to eat them, that's okay. Grandma will take you to your eldest grandma's house later. There is a white plum tree in her house. I think you can eat it. That one is not so sour. "

White plum is the same as bayberry, both are plums, but it turns white when ripe, so people in the village call it white plum.

 At first, they are the same as normal plums, they are green, and the more mature they become, the whiter they become, and they are less sour.

 “Okay, okay.” Mei Xue was very happy.

But if grandma doesn’t want to pick these iron loquats on the ground, then she shouldn’t pick them. Anyway, she doesn’t like sweet things very much.

After answering Mei Xue’s doubts, Grandma He went to work on the pigweed again. After Mei Xue cleaned up the surrounding area, she also went to help Grandma light the fire.

 Stuff pig food inside, and you can use it to feed pigs at night.

I have to say that the pigs in the village are raised very carefully.

 No worse than others.

 After finishing all the household chores, Mei Xue and her grandma went directly to see her eldest grandma.

As soon as the grandma heard that they were going to pick plums, she couldn’t bear to give them up.

Who is Mei Xue? She can see through the eldest grandma’s thoughts at a glance.

 I immediately told my grandma that it was too hot and that we should go there in the afternoon.

Took grandma directly back home.

Grandma He still didn't understand what Mei Xue meant, "Your eldest grandma is just such a person. Forget it, forget it. Grandma will take you to the mountain behind your Aunt Xilian to see the big bayberry tree in her house. If she gets familiar with you Just pick some and taste them.”

Grandma He actually felt quite uncomfortable. This sister-in-law was still so unpopular.

It's okay if it's on her own, but not because of her Xiaoxue.

"From now on, you will be less likely to get involved with your eldest grandma." She couldn't say anything too obvious, but it was okay to prevent Xiaoxue from being angry.

“Well, I listen to grandma.” Mei Xue nodded, “Nay, don’t we have plum trees on our own mountain?” If we have some at home, there is no need for grandma to ask others.

"Yes, but it's not very ripe yet. It's a bit sour when you pick it now. How about grandma take you to see it?" It's not far anyway.

Of course Mei Xue had no objection, "Okay, grandma, let's get ready and go up the mountain." She had not been to her own mountain yet.

Speaking of this, Grandma He thought of something, "Xiaoxue, when Jun Qi comes back, ask him to accompany you to transfer your household registration. By then, you will also be allocated fields and mountains. Even if it is not much, it will be yours." No, if you were placed in the next village, you wouldn’t go back very often.”

Mei Xue really doesn’t know about this. "Grandma, do I still have land at home? Why haven't I heard my mother talk about it?"

Upon hearing Mei Xue's words, Grandma He thought about it and said, "Look, I forgot, your parents are not locals, so they definitely don't have any land, but you have to transfer your household registration here, and then you can allocate it in the village." field."

If you marry into their Hejia Village, you will be from Hejia Village. The village will definitely divide the fields and mountains for Xiaoxue.

  Many people in the village have gotten married in the past two years, and the free fields and mountains can be divided.

 One in, one out, very reasonable.

“Well, I listen to grandma.” Mei Xue was very happy. She was actually able to get the land, which she really didn’t expect.

The mother-in-law and grandson went out carrying two small backpacks.

After they went out, a figure looked at them not far away, with some regret and struggle in his eyes, but these did not affect the two people who went out.

Grandma He’s family has two mountains in total, one is close and the other is dangerous, but they usually work on the nearby mountain.

Of course, the dangerous mountain is not that it is in danger, but that it is close to the deepest mountain range. There is the famous Wolf Mountain there, and it is said that there are wolves there.

Arriving at the branch of the creek, Grandma He led Mei Xue to the fork of the creek, "Xiaoxue, we have to take this path."

Meixue looked at it. The mountains here were not high, and the trees on the mountains were also small. They were just small trees and vines.

"Grandma, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Mei Xue asked worriedly.

Grandma He shook her head, "This little road is nothing. Back then, grandma could call several times a day." Grandma He said loudly to Xiaoxue while panting.

 A kind of showing off, you know.

Meixue just smiled and said nothing, and took out a bamboo bucket from her backpack. The small section was a kettle made by the villagers, "Grandma, drink some water."

  She brought space water from home, which can greatly improve her grandma's system. However, it cannot be solved in a short while, but she has slowly added a lot of it to her home.

 Just wait a little longer, and grandma’s body will be in the best condition by next year.

Taking the pot from Xiaoxue's hand, Grandma He drank more than half of it without any politeness at all. There is water everywhere in the mountains, so just drink it again.

"I feel better after drinking water. Let's go. We have to come back early, otherwise lunch will be delayed." Grandma He said with a smile.

With the supplement of space water, Grandma He walked much more easily this time than before.
