Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 9: Yesterday’s lesson is still missing

Zhao Hu sighed and took a freshly killed pheasant to the village chief to help his nephew settle down.

When she woke up the next day, Xiaoxiao learned that Zhao Hu's family, not far from her home, had found her long-lost nephew.

It is said that they came here to escape from famine, and their family members died and were separated on the way. Because they knew that their hometown was in Fuyuan Village, they came to look for their relatives and wait for their separated relatives. But everyone was sad when they heard this. The so-called "lost" just means It needs to be nicer. How can people who are separated on the road to escape survive?

Xiaoxiao had only heard about this for a while. They had no contact with Zhao Orion's family in the past. Moreover, according to her family's current situation, it was not their turn to pity others, so out of courtesy, she gave a few gifts according to her mother's instructions. Just pass by a steamed bun, that's all.

Today was also a day to run around for life. Xiaoxiao went out happily with a small bamboo basket made by her father Ning Fengnian in her arms and one on her back.

Mrs. Song saw her jumping back from the window and sighed with relief and heartache.

"After the separation, my temper has become more lively, and I can do a lot more."

"I think it's great, but I also wish she would always be such a small bundle."

Ning Fengnian raised his hand and patted the back of his wife's hand.

"The kids are growing up, which is a good thing."

Mrs. Song sighed: "But if she grows up, will she leave us?"

"After all, her life experience cannot be hidden forever..."

After swallowing the next words, she forced a smile and said, "It's time to drink the medicine. I'll help you up."

Xiaoxiao didn't know her parents were worried, so she went to Xiaoxihe again.

But when she arrived at the shore, she saw Mr. Ning and his wife leaving the house early for the first time and coming to the river.

Glancing at the water basin next to the two of them and the fishing rod in their hands, Xiaoxiao understood instantly——

This is because she knew that she caught fish yesterday and wanted to try her luck today.

She didn't want to be around these two, so she turned and ran in the other direction before being noticed.

She found a section of land with shallow water, thick sand, thick water and grass, buried the bamboo basket, threw a handful of bait produced by the space into it, and then wandered around nearby.

This section of the river beach is rarely visited by people, so the amount of wild vegetables is quite considerable.

Fortunately, spring has not yet ended and the mountains are rich in wild products, so she and her family can barely eat.

But it won't work to continue like this.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye. Not to mention summer, the weather will quickly turn cold in autumn. By then, not to mention wild vegetables, weeds and fruits will turn yellow and wither. In winter, there is no food stored in the house and there is no charcoal to burn, so it is impossible to survive. past.

Even now, she can't just go home and buy river food.

Whether it is full and nutritious is one thing. If you catch a lot, it will inevitably attract attention - why is it that she is the only one who can't catch others?

And it will definitely not be so easy to spend time in the old house next time.

She didn't want to work so hard to find someone, only to end up making a wedding dress for someone else.

In addition to food, there are many things that need to be purchased at home.

The chipped bowl can be reused, but the thin clothes cannot survive the winter.

Anyway, before the end of autumn, I want to find a way to buy a thick cotton coat for each person. Well, it is best to have a new quilt.

Now the only thing in the house is the tattered quilt that the old house didn't want. It was heavy and hard, and she always felt it had a smell.

She suspected that the original owner allowed this body to replace her soul because she failed to survive the cold winter.

From this point of view, the Ning family is not only short of food, but more importantly, short of money.

Thinking about things, she used the small shovel she brought with her to dig up the soil.

When she was distracted, she heard Spacey say that she found some food nearby. She thought it was just wild vegetables.

Using a shovel to carefully push away the soil, Xiaoxiao heard the space prompt.

[Ding, I found a new ingredient, bamboo shoots. 】

[Master, pick it up quickly, we haven’t included the bamboo shoots! 】

There are several bamboo forests around Fuyuan Village. The skilled villagers go to the mountains to chop bamboo and weave bamboo baskets. Some of them are kept at home, and some are exchanged for copper plates at the market. Ning Fengnian is a good bamboo weaver. , the things made are exquisite, beautiful and durable.

Bamboo shoots are naturally bitter, so few people like to eat them. Even villagers who are not well-off think that only wild boars can eat them.

Xiaoxiao, who was once a chef, knew that the astringent taste was not only because the bamboo shoots were in the wrong season, but also because the cooking method was too rough.

She really likes the dish of braised spring bamboo shoots in oil.

But at this time, when the farmers cooked, they only needed to make a full meal. They didn't pay attention to details, and they were reluctant to use oil.

Often when it's time to eat, there's a big pot of food, all cooked.

If the conditions are better, just put a few pieces of meat into the pot and it will be delicious.

After running through a few bamboo shoot dishes in her mind, she rolled up her sleeves and started digging.

By the time four or five bamboo shoots sprouted, half a day had passed before I knew it.

Xiaoxiao disliked the small body of the original owner. He was exhausted and sweating even after doing some physical work.

But at the same time, she was helpless.

If you don’t have enough to eat, where will your strength come from?

After patting off the soil from the roots of the bamboo shoots and putting them into the backpack, Xiaoxiao once again determined that the first step to becoming rich was to eat enough!

Counting the time, it’s time to pull up the bamboo basket carrying shrimps.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful, but Xiaoxiao only kept a small part of it, and most of it was converted into points.

It's not that she's being picky, it's that she knows that Lao Zhai is watching, so she doesn't do things that are too out of the ordinary.

Walking out along the forest, Xiaoxiao wandered by the river for a while until she was caught by the angry Aunt Ning.

Without saying a word, she grabbed Xiaoxiao's backpack and bamboo basket. When she saw that there were only some bamboo shoots eaten by wild boars and a handful of small shrimps, she immediately curled her lips in disdain.

"Okay, I don't mind it either, just give me the shrimp."

Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and put down the two baskets. When she raised her eyes again, her expression changed.

Aunt Ning couldn't understand it, but she felt that this look was more scary than when Ning Erlang from the first room glared at her.

"Do, do what?"

"I'm your second aunt, why do you want a few shrimps from you?"

Xiaoxiao chuckled: "It seems that the lesson learned yesterday is still missing."

It's okay if I don't mention this, but when I mention it, Aunt Ning suddenly becomes very angry.

"I haven't settled the score with you yet! Who told you to talk nonsense and frame me?" The sole of my mother-in-law's shoe was so slapped that her butt still hurts even now!

Xiaoxiao looked at her calmly, her smile gradually disappearing.

"I don't understand what Second Aunt said, but what I said is all the truth."

It’s the truth that’s hateful! She couldn't even refute it!

Xiaoxiao said again: "But when Nai spanked you, I was really happy to watch." As he said that, he even gave Aunt Ning a toothy smile.

Second Aunt Ning couldn't bear the stimulation, so she raised her hand and wanted to hit someone.

Soon after, Xiaoxiao screamed and fell backwards, knocking over the basket of shrimps. The shrimps, which were barely the size of knuckles, were scattered all over the floor together with the bamboo shoots.

Xiaoxiao's hair was also loose, covering her face making it difficult to see her expression.

However, just looking at the fall just now and the trembling look on her face now, it is not difficult to guess how much strength Aunt Ning used.

The latter was also stunned. She looked at her cattail palm in confusion.

Did she... hit someone? Why don't you feel anything?
