Chapter 225: Candied Haws are Sour and Sweet
Three days later.
The weather was still cold, so Li Lanzhen did not hold a third-day birthday banquet for her newborn grandson, and instead planned to hold a full-month banquet instead.
Li Lanzhen still went to the field for a walk.
She wants to build a greenhouse here to grow vegetables.
Zhang Deshui was seen squatting on the field, pulling up a grass here and looking at it, and pinching a handful of soil there.
"My dear, what are you looking at in the field?"
Zhang Deshui saw that it was Li Lanzhen coming over.
"Haha, let me see."
When Li Lanzhen saw his distraught look, she knew that he had lost his land and was disappointed.
"My dear, if I could find a way for you to grow vegetables in the winter, would you be willing?"
Zhang Deshui stood up quickly, took a few steps closer and looked at Li Lanzhen.
"My dear, you are not lying to me. Is this true? I am willing! I am willing. You can even let me live here!"
"I'm not lying to you. It's true. I have a way. You see, it's like this..."
Li Lanzhen explained in detail how to build a greenhouse and how to maintain a temperature in the greenhouse suitable for vegetable growth.
As for planting and field management, Zhang Deshui is an expert in this, so Li Lanzhen did not elaborate.
After hearing this, Zhang Deshui's ideas about planting were completely overturned!
Without saying anything, he turned around and ran towards the village.
Li Lanzhen thought that he must have gone to discuss with Han Shunde, Xue Laohu and others.
This is a good thing. Once the method is explained to them, they are all farmers and experienced in farming, so they will definitely be able to build it.
Just watch and enjoy the joy of success!
Yesterday, four people from Silver Fox came to tell her that they were going to the capital.
There were some things that needed to be settled, and he was also worried about the safety of the Queen and the Crown Prince.
Before leaving, he told her that Su Chen and Linglong would continue to live here and announce to the outside world that they were missing in the fire.
Li Lanzhen agreed to this and told them to be careful.
Silver Fox promises that they will come back safe and sound!
Li Lanzhen held Linglong and Su Chen and sent them out of the yard.
Both children looked lonely.
Li Lanzhen felt sorry for them, so she made delicious food to comfort them.
Make candied haws.
The children were envious for a long time.
Li Lanzhen did not go to the big kitchen to make candied haws, but made them in her own kitchen.
She didn't know if she could succeed, so she tried it on a small batch first.
"Su Chen, help grandma count how many children there are, and give each child a string of candied haws."
Su Chen looked up and asked her.
"Grandma, at what age is considered a child?"
This question stumped Li Lanzhen, and she thought for a while before speaking.
"Those who don't have families are all children."
"Grandma, there are 59 in total, children."
Su Chen figured it out quickly.
Li Lanzhen asked in confusion, "Why did you pause?"
"Hey, grandma, um, Aunt Tiehua and the others, I count them as children."
Li Lanzhen understood. What a smart and insightful child.
He must have been thinking that Tiehua and the others were married, but for some reason they became single.
Li Lanzhen told him that as long as they are not married, they are children.
He paused for a moment.
"Yes, our Su Chen is really smart. Thank you, grandma."
Li Lanzhen moved the wooden skewers that she asked Li Erhan to make to the kitchen and asked the children to help skewer the washed hawthorn fruits.
"living comfortably without anybody's help!"
"living comfortably without anybody's help!"
The children shouted the slogans taught by Li Lanzhen, rolled up their sleeves and started working.
Half an hour later, 60 candied haws were ready.
Place it in a large round winnowing basket to dry.
There are five red hawthorn berries on each wooden skewer.
"Come on, children, eat first, one each."
As he said this, he gave a candied haws to each of the children who had participated in making the candied haws at home.
"Grandma eats first!"
The sound continued one after another! Every child who got the candied haws held up the crystal clear red candied haws and handed them to Li Lanzhen.
Looking at the children's innocent eyes and sincere expressions, Li Lanzhen smiled.
"Grandma, just eat one. Grandma's teeth are old, so she can't eat too much."
As soon as the words came out, the children's eyes changed.
"Grandma is so pitiful! She can't even eat candied haws!"
"Grandma's teeth are so old now? She can't even eat candied haws anymore? Poor thing!"
Facing sympathetic and pitiful looks, Li Lanzhen bit off the first candied haws from the string handed to her by Han Yinan.
The children were happy seeing Li Lanzhen eating.
They all stuck out their tongues and carefully licked the first candied haws on the string in their hands.
Then, he opened his eyes wide, then grinned foolishly, with his eyes narrowed into slits!
Li Lanzhen asked Han Yinan and others to distribute the candied haws to the children.
She knew that interesting things would happen when distributing the candied haws, so she let the children experience it.
For example, the second child in your family will definitely have rich emotional expressions.
Han Yinan and his friends walked around the village carrying a basket of candied haws, but they didn't find any children except the little kid following them.
Knowing that they had all gone to Datiandi, they moved to Datiandi.
Hearing that everyone in the village had gone to the fields, Li Lanzhen cleaned up the kitchen, put on a thin jacket, and went to the fields as well.
When we reached the edge of the field, the first thing we heard was Han Mingjiang's loud and rough shouting.
"Third brother, little brother! Leave a candied haws for your brother! You are such a grown-up, yet you still act like a child! Mother is so partial!"
Li Lanzhen wanted to step forward and deal with this argumentative idiot!
Then he saw Han Yisong holding up the candied haws in his hand and handing it to him.
"Dad, eat mine. Don't take your uncle's."
How pitiful my uncle was! He was beaten and starved outside, and was even captured by bandits.
You have always been with grandma, and she has given you so many delicious foods."
Everyone around was shocked by Han Yisong’s remarks!
What a sensible child! Unfortunately, he is from the ignorant Han Mingjiang family!
Tsk tsk! What a pity!
Li Lanzhen looked at Han Mingjiang's red face and quickly came to his rescue, jokingly saying.
"Second brother, mother will favor the third brother from now on.
I won’t give you any delicious food.”
After saying that, she glared at him.
Han Mingjiang immediately moved closer to Li Lanzhen with a smug look on his face.
Baring his big white teeth, he said, "Mom, I was just joking with the third child. Don't take it seriously. Mom, you should treat your son the same way you did before!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The people around laughed.
On this day, everyone in Taohuayuan ate candied haws.
It's crunchy when you take a bite, and the sour and sweet taste will linger in your memory.
What makes everyone even happier is that their children know how to respect their parents and respect the elderly and love the young.
Know how to share!
