Chapter 23

Cao Laoliu: "but we don't care what others say. If they want to say it, it's just a matter of lip service."

Li Jinmei was so angry that she forked her waist: "you can scold her family behind your back, but in front of so many outsiders, Li Lian has to deliberately fall in love. It's really Fortunately, Changting didn't marry her! "

Cao Laoliu also felt uncomfortable when he thought about it: "it's not just Li Lian. I think Aunt Li also has some sense of blaming us. Just when Uncle Li said to stay for dinner, Aunt Li's face was ugly."

Li Jinmei sighed: "it's better not to trouble them if it's OK in the future."

Li Changting didn't agree: "it's natural for the patriarch to preside over justice and solve disputes for the villagers. This is his responsibility. We can't forget the justice and kindness of the patriarch and Uncle Li just because Aunt Li and Li Lian are narrow-minded. "

Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu can't help nodding their heads when they think about it.

"But ah Qing, you still don't see that Li Lian in the future. Can't we get rid of her?" Li Jinmei said.

"All right, sister."

Being protected by Li Jinmei, Xu Qing was moved and went back to work hard to make a big pot of stewed fish, which was so fragrant that they almost swallowed their tongue.

"It's delicious! The food made by my sister-in-law is so delicious! How happy I am

Today, Xiaomei is also boasting about her new sister-in-law.

"Mother, more."

Every time he eats Xu Qing's fried dishes, Li Tinghui can eat an extra bowl of rice.

After dinner, Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu went home with their daughter.

Li Changting simply washed and went to the patriarch's house with a lantern. He had to watch the night there tonight.

Xu Qing cleaned up the dishes and gave Li Tinghui a bath with hot water.

People in the village take a bath with Gleditsia sinensis soup. They mash it up, boil it for two hours, filter it and let it cool. The black Gleditsia sinensis soup is very clean.

It's said that there are also saponin paste with herbs and spices in the town. It's not only fragrant, but also can be stored for a long time.

After coaxing the child to sleep, Xu Qing went to the kitchen to close the door and quietly entered the space.

No matter when the space is bright, a square mu of black land, soft soil, emitting the fragrance of soil.

In addition, there is a magic spring in the corner.

Lingquan is a natural oval hole formed in the boulder. Its walls are smooth and about two meters wide. The spring water is clear and sweet. No matter how much Xu Qing takes, the water level never drops.

The places outside the soil are all covered with a layer of white fog, just like four fog walls, which are hard to pass and can't be seen clearly.

Only the fog wall near Lingquan feels softer than the other three walls, just like the difference between glass and cloth. But even this "soft" wall, Xu Qing can't get through.

This space has to be ingenious. I don't know the source or the purpose. I have to explore the details in the future. At least now Xu Qing doesn't have a clue.

It's dark outside, but it's not even eight o'clock.

Li Changting is not at home tonight, so Xu Qing stays in the space until dawn.

One mu of land is about the size of a basketball court and a half. Xu Qing left 30 square meters of space near Lingquan to put things. The rest of the land is going to be vegetable land.

She changed into short sleeves and shorts and began to turn the floor barefoot with a hoe.

Turn over this mu of land tonight, and go to the town tomorrow to buy the seeds, then you can plant them directly.

While thinking about what kind of vegetables to grow, Xu Qing organized the vegetable fields into a dozen neat small blocks.

Growing up in the countryside, she was no stranger to farming. The original owner was also a child used to farm work, but in three hours, Xu Qing made the land beautiful.

Busy finished a sweat, do not feel tired, but is very happy.

Drink a few more mouthfuls of spring water to make your body comfortable!

Xu took a bath, washed his clothes and hung them out to dry.

Take a look at your watch. It's almost twelve o'clock.

Sleep under the covers.

The consequence of staying up late is getting up late the next day.

Xu Qing went to the kitchen to get water and wash, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a clump of onion and ginger sprouts in the corner of the courtyard!

There is a small clump of green onion and ginger seedlings near the wall of the yard. She has picked a lot of them for cooking these days.

Last night, she had a whim. She took some spring water from the space and poured it on the ginger seedling.

I didn't expect that yesterday's shallots were all grown out after one night, crispy and tender, just like the green jadeite full of water!

Xu Qing guessed that the Lingquan water in the space might be extraordinary, but he didn't expect the effect to be so remarkable.

Plants can grow so well, if people often drink, will it also have extraordinary effect?!

Such as physical fitness, longevity and so on.

Later, the edible water at home is quietly changed into Lingquan water. Xu Qingmei Zizi decides.

There are three steamed buns on the stove, and the water in the back pot is also hot.After washing, Xu Qing took the steamed bread to eat in the yard. He saw Li Tinghui squatting on the ground, breaking a corn cake and feeding the pheasant tied to the pillar with the cake residue.

This pheasant, hungry all night, is now pecking at the cake residue on the ground.

"Xiaohui, where's your father?" Xu Qing called him.

"Draw water." The little guy pointed to the back of the house.

Then he saw Li Changting carrying two buckets of water into the kitchen through the back door.

Xu Qing carries a bucket and goes to fetch water with Li Changting.

They went to the back of the house from the small door of the kitchen, opened a courtyard door behind the house and walked back up the mountain.

After a short walk along a path, they came to a brook, which is about one meter deep and very clear.

There is no well at home. Li Changting usually draws water here. He is less than two minutes away from home, so he is very close.

He is a lame man. If he carries water up and down the mountain, he will be tired to death. There are streams on the mountain, which are so convenient that no one can see him even taking a bath here in summer.

Xu Qing didn't come to fetch water. She dug out two fishing rods hidden here from the grass beside her and dug out two earthworms. She cut them into small pieces and put them on the hook.

There are a lot of fish in the grass on both sides of the stream. Maybe no one came to catch them. They came out smelling the meat one by one.

In less than half a minute, Xu Qing caught one.

Throw the fish into the barrel, and soon another stupid fish is hooked.

All the fish in the stream are small. Xu Qing fished about ten of them, and after about two meals, he finished work.

Li Changting has been carrying water back for a long time. Xu Qing doesn't feel scared when he walks alone in the woods.

Li Changting planted plants to drive snakes along streams and paths, and hunted large animals nearby.

"Kill the chicken at noon?" Seeing Xu Qing back, Li Changting asked.

"Isn't it going to be sold in the market this afternoon?"

"This meat can't be sold for much. I'd better eat it." Li Changting stares at his pheasant and swallows water secretly.
