Chapter 121: No Question of Origin
What Li Lanzhen didn't expect was that when she took out three large bundles of sweet potato vines from the cave, no one asked her where she came from!
She thought of several reasons, but none of them worked!
They hugged each other and said happily.
"Hurry, hurry, let's get the scissors and cut them short, and plant them in the ground quickly. The water is right outside our doorstep now. Plant the seedlings and water them quickly. They will grow in two days!"
In the blink of an eye, Li Lanzhen had carried three large bundles of sweet potato seedlings on the ground to the field like the wind.
All the farming matters of their families were handed over to Zhang Deshui.
Zhang Deshui was weeding in the field when he saw his daughter-in-law, Li Sanya, carrying a bundle of sweet potato seedlings. The seedlings were very long, reaching her knees in the front and hanging on her back in the back. It looked like she could not even be lifted by one person. She was walking towards him at a rapid pace.
Following behind were Xue Nizi and Tonghua, each carrying a bundle of sweet potato vines.
He happily dropped his hoe, stood up and waved.
"Hurry, hurry, carry it over here. Let's all plant the sweet potato seedlings in the open space here!"
After a while, Han Minghai and Zhang Songshu also ran over.
Han Minghai saw the three bundles of sweet potato vines on the edge of the field, looked up in the direction of his own cave, and shook his head.
Mom, you brought things out of the mustard seed space again. You are so disobedient. I told you not to take things out, but you took them in again!
He looked at three bundles of sweet potato seedlings and said to Zhang Deshui.
"Dad, let's take a bundle of sweet potato seedlings to the old village chief and see what he does with them. Just plant two bundles at home."
Zhang Deshui nodded continuously and said, "Hey, hey, hey, okay, I'll carry a bundle and give it to the old village chief. There's a lot left at home anyway."
Zhang Deshui discovered that although his relative-in-law was a woman, she was smarter and more capable than men!
She can handle things, doesn't get nervous in times of crisis, and loves her children. She treats her daughter-in-law better than her own daughter. So her daughter is enjoying a good life.
He doesn't have the idea of favoring boys over girls. Just look at his granddaughter Linglong. Her little face is round from eating so much. She is even fatter than his grandson, Han Yinan.
She was wearing a red flower blouse newly made by her daughter, with a small bun on her head and a red flower hairband tied around her head, looking like a little fairy.
When Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhang Li brought Han Yuemei down from the mountain, they saw that several houses were empty and the kitchens were cold.
I was wondering where all the daughters-in-law had gone and it was time to make lunch.
Zhang Yue Niang slowly came out of the cave, holding a basin in her hand.
Her mother, Zhang Li, immediately took over and blamed her.
"Your child is going to be born next month, and you don't even take care of him.
What should I do if I can’t see the road and fall down while holding a basin? "
Zhang Yue Niang smiled and gave the basin to her mother.
"Mother, Aunt Xue, and little aunt, you are back. They have all gone to the fields."
"What are you doing in the fields? Weeding?" asked Mrs. Wu.
Zhang Yue Niang shook her head. "No, my mother brought three bundles of sweet potato seedlings. They carried them to the field and planted them. They probably have to plant them all in the field and water them before coming back. I see it's almost noon, so I thought about cooking slowly."
Wu waved her hand and said, "Okay, go in and have a rest. Your mother and I will cook."
Han Yuemei said, "Aunt, you guys cook and I'll go to the fields to help. It'll be easier with more people and we can come back earlier to eat."
Mrs. Wu said, Xuemei should drink some water before leaving.
The two in-laws were preparing to cook in the kitchen, and Mrs. Wu was muttering in her heart, wondering where this in-law Lan Zhen got this strange thing from.
She often felt that a lot of food would inexplicably appear in the house, such as so much pork that day, as well as eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs.
My son-in-law said he picked it up from the mountains, how is that possible?
She had seen chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs before, but none of them were so regular, the same size, and so white.
Also, my in-laws always take out a lot of rare things from the cave.
Although she had doubts, she never asked them out loud and just kept them in her mind.
Xue Lao Hu had already explained it to the mother and daughter.
"If there is meat to eat, just lower your head and eat; if there are dumplings to eat, just lower your head and eat; as long as your stomach is full, don't ask anything; even if a cow suddenly appears in their cave one day, don't ask where it came from."
She nodded, and Xue Bao also nodded in understanding after hearing what his father said.
In fact, he discovered the specialness of Aunt Lan Zhen since he started fleeing famine.
Especially when they were surrounded by King Jin's soldiers and were about to capture Ding, she took out firecrackers and fireworks and beat the enemy so hard that they were able to escape.
He was very surprised, but he, like his father, was a calm person. Years of hunting in the mountains had trained him to be quiet and steady in the face of difficulties.
His father gave such instructions today, so he might have heard some things from Aunt Lan Zhen.
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhang were busy in the kitchen preparing lunch.
Li Lanzhen was patrolling the space and arrived at the storage room. Sure enough, there were rows of baskets on the ground, and the baskets were full of vegetables.
Li Lanzhen picked up a fresh green cucumber, rubbed it on her clothes and started eating it with a crunching sound.
She took out a red tomato from the basket and took a bite of tomato and cucumber. The sweet, sour and crisp taste made her squint her eyes happily.
Since I came here, I haven't eaten any vegetables properly, let alone cucumbers and tomatoes.
She wanted to take these out and let everyone have a taste.
I don't want to make any more excuses, just take it out and eat it.
Li Lanzhen knew that before eating these, Xue Nizi would always put her hands on her hips, look stern, and warn all the children.
"Is the meat delicious? Is it fragrant? Is it sweet? Is it beautiful?"
The children, who were still busy eating the meat, puffed their cheeks, nodded vigorously, and mumbled that it was delicious and sweet.
Then, she raised a finger, pointed at their foreheads from a distance, and said it over and over again.
"Remember everything. What did you eat at our house? Don't tell anyone about it when you go out."
Xiao Sanniu would always ask her after swallowing the delicious food in his mouth.
"When someone asks me what I eat at home, what do I say?"
The big bull would always give him a millstone on the back of his head.
"You are stupid. You just said to drink wild vegetable porridge and eat wild vegetable cakes."
Han Yisong said, "You can also say that I drank pheasant soup. They all know that my grandfather, my uncle and my father can hunt, so it doesn't matter if I say it."
A group of adults would always laugh at the children's childish talk, and then glance at Li Lanzhen meaningfully.
Li Lanzhen just ate her own food, kept her achievements and fame hidden, and focused on one thing: I won’t tell you, and you can guess, but you can’t guess!
So she brought out two baskets of vegetables, including eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, leeks, Chinese cabbage, a large winter melon, a dozen large pumpkins, and small pumpkins...
Since they already received a surprise today, why not give them another scare!
So, carrying a basket in each hand, they walked out of the cave and went into the kitchen.
When Zhang Yue Niang passed by, he put down his basket and gave her a bright red tomato.
"My eldest son's wife, eat this. It supplements vitamins. After eating it, the baby in your belly will have white skin, big eyes, and strong legs and feet!"
Zhang Yue Niang lifted up the bright red fruit so much that she couldn’t even hold it with one hand.
Before I could recover from the shock, I heard the rest of Li Lanzhen's words.
Without thinking any more, he smiled, wiped it with a cloth and put it in his mouth.
Li Lanzhen carried two baskets of vegetables into the kitchen and put them on the floor with a clatter.
"My dear relatives, you can cook these vegetables tonight. Since we don't have meat today, we can eat the jar meat you cook."
Then he added, "Oh, and there's a pumpkin, I'll get it!"
She turned and walked out, totally ignoring the frightened looks on the faces of her two relatives.
They stopped what they were doing and stared at the two baskets of green, red and purple vegetables with wide eyes in disbelief.
Li Lanzhen came in with two baskets of pumpkins and winter melons and saw them like this.
Ignoring them, he continued, "My two relatives, the pumpkin and winter melon are now in your hands. You can do whatever you want with them.
Oh, the pumpkin is steamed, and the pancakes are delicious. Let’s make this tonight.”
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li Zhang sighed helplessly.
Wu said, "I see, dear, you should just leave. Leave this to us!"
