MTL - Exile the Whole Family! The Koi Girl Farms and Flies the Whole Family-Chapter 15 Cultivate a vegetable garden
Chapter 15 Cultivating a Vegetable Garden
Thinking that her health is indeed not very good, Mrs. Deng smiled guiltily: "That's fine. You are wearing straw hats, don't get sunburnt. I will make herbal tea for you, and I will make something delicious at noon!"
Today, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling came back from the city and bought pork belly, spare ribs, and tender tofu, just for lunch.
The meat can be stored overnight after it is cooked, and it can be eaten for two meals tomorrow.
Ms. Deng had never even been in the kitchen before, but now she can cook rice and porridge well.
Even Ms. Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin have learned to sweep the floor, stack firewood, feed chickens, choose vegetables and peel beans, and water fruit trees.
The children of the poor are the head of the family early, let alone the children of the exiles who know nothing!
Zhao Liya really loves them, but she never thought of letting them go back to the days when young masters and misses stretched out their hands for food and opened their mouths.
That's not pain, it's harm.
Zhao Liya smiled and said yes, and went out to open up wasteland with Aunt Li Shiyi.
Under the hot sun, two people wearing big straw hats first used sickles to clear up the densely growing weeds that were as tall as half a person, and then dug the ground with hoes.
The ground is full of intertwined and intertwined grass roots of all kinds, which are hard, and a layer of skin can only be scratched with a hoe, so the efficiency of reclamation is extremely low.
When Hu Ling and Zhao Xiang came back at noon carrying bamboo and long wooden sticks, Zhao Liya and Aunt Li Shiyi only opened up half an acre of land.
Zhao Xing thanked Aunt Li Shiyi for her hard work. Seeing the red-faced and sweaty daughter, she was very distressed: "Ya'er, don't push yourself too hard, take a break first!"
Aunt Li Shiyi also smiled and said: "Aya is really capable, this child, despite being thin and small, actually managed to hold on, she just didn't cry tired, I thought she would not be able to bear it after a while Well. I didn’t expect to work all morning.”
Aunt Li Shiyi really admired her. You must know that this is not a country boy who urinates and does farm work. This is a rich lady from the capital, who is more honorable than the rich lady in Gaolian County.
Zhao Xiang felt even more distressed when he heard it, and forced a smile and said: "Our Ya'er has always been capable, hurry up, go back and have a rest and have lunch first, don't do anything, go back quickly."
Hu Ling stepped forward and took the **** in Zhao Liya's hand: "Aya, Aunt Shiyi, go back quickly!"
Zhao Liya took off her straw hat and fanned the wind, her rosy face was full of smiles: "Father, brother, I'm fine! I know it! Let's go, let's all go back!"
At home, Mrs. Deng has already cooked the rice. A large pot of rice is simmering on the stove, and the dishes are all ready. When she saw them coming back, Mrs. Deng, who was accompanying her two young children, got up and said with a smile: "You are back! Hurry up and wash your hands and face to cool off, I made herbal tea and you drink it yourself, I'll go to cook, it will be fine soon."
Zhao Xiang nodded and smiled: "Thank you Madam!"
Deng's smile was gentle: "It's not hard work, it's you who worked hard!"
The Zhao family was very understanding. No one talked about the hard work outside in front of Mrs. Deng. For a while, the yard was full of brisk talking and laughing.
Soon, two dishes and one soup were served: fried tofu with sliced pork belly, fried beans, pork ribs and radish soup.
Deng’s craftsmanship is really not very good. The pork belly is cut into big pieces and small pieces, and thin pieces are thick. The fried beans were fried for too long, too much water was added, and there was a smell of beans that had been stewed in water. The pork ribs are also big and small. The radish is carefully peeled, and half of it is destroyed, leaving only a radish heart, but there is less water. It is said to be stewed soup, but in fact there is not much soup.
The two dishes and one soup are not attractive, and the taste is also uneven, but fortunately, they are all cooked. No one in the family dislikes them, and they all praise them for their deliciousness.
Aunt Li Shiyi felt a little distressed for spoiling a good dish, but she is old and mature, so naturally she can't talk nonsense. At most, I will slowly and inadvertently remind Deng Shi and teach her. She used to be the wife of an official family, so it's right if she doesn't understand these things.
Deng's face was smiling, becoming more loving and gentle, but her eyes were a little moist.
She's not stupid, can't she eat it if it's delicious?
The afternoon sun was extremely hot, and everyone didn't go out to work. It wasn't until almost four o'clock that I went out again.
At this time, the temperature in the mountain has gradually dropped, and it will not be too hot under the shadow of large trees. Hu Ling and Zhao Xiang seize the time to cut some bamboo and wooden sticks to come back.
Zhao Liya and Aunt Li Shiyi also went out to continue digging wasteland.
Zhao Xiang opened his mouth, wanting Zhao Liya to stop doing it, but swallowed the words again.
Today is different from the past, these words are weak, it is better not to say.
In order to live a good life here, everyone in their family has to work hard.
The emperor has been thinking about deposing the prince for a long time, and the prince is cautious. He and Concubine Yan Gui couldn't find the fault of the prince, so they tried to force him, the prince and tutor, to deal with the prince.
He is not only the prince and Taifu, but also has a high prestige among the scholars. If he stands up and says "the prince is not worthy", the emperor will definitely seize this remark and make a big fuss and abolish the prince.
But he can't. The prince is the future of the empire, and it is also his painstaking effort. Besides, what is wrong with the prince?
If it weren't for the empress dowager, the prince would not be able to stand at all. However, the emperor has never cared about the prince, otherwise, how could he be the prince's tutor?
At the beginning, the emperor specially appointed him as the prince and tutor, but in fact, he deliberately disgusted the prince and made the world laugh at him.
Because he was too young to be a prince and tutor at all.
But the emperor said that he was astonishingly talented in learning, and if he was talking about his status as the number one scholar, who could say that he couldn't teach the prince?
The prince never blamed him or angered him because of this, he treated him respectfully and politely, and he also taught and pointed out carefully, the two were actually quite in tune.
The Empress Dowager fell ill and passed away. The Empress entered the Buddhist hall to pray for the Empress Dowager. He expected that the Emperor and Concubine Yan Gui would not be able to sit still anymore, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.
He knows that exile is the punishment and lesson given to him by the emperor, and it is also persecution. As long as he is willing to change his words, he can return to the capital at any time.
But he won't change.
As for his family members, he is destined to feel sorry for them. Since they are his family members, they can only bear all this with him. Besides, the prince has always treated them kindly, and they are also unwilling to frame the prince.
The family stumbled and spent four days working hard to finally surround the vegetable garden in a decent manner.
Yan Village, apart from other things, Zhao Liya is very satisfied with the spaciousness of the place. The vegetable garden at the gate is about an acre and a half, and a plot of vegetables is planted, which is enough for their family to eat all year round.
And can feed at least twenty ducks and thirty chickens.
At the moment when the project was completed, everyone looked at the barren vegetable garden and smiled at each other comfortably.
Asking for a monthly pass, asking for a collection, asking for a check-in, the new book needs everyone's care and care, thank you O(∩_∩)O~
