Chapter 227 227 Water Hyacinth

Water hyacinth is a plant that grows on the surface of the water, because there is a swollen part like a gourd between the leaves and roots, so it is called water hyacinth.

Water hyacinth is very cold-resistant, and the winter here is not particularly cold, at least there is no snow, not to mention that it is almost February now, and the temperature has risen a lot.

So the current water hyacinth is also green. Last year's water hyacinth was dark green, and the new ones are tender emerald green.

And Xiaomi also knew that this water hyacinth bloomed very beautifully, with flower stems growing out of the plant and purple-blue flowers blooming.

"This is called water hyacinth? Xiaomi, you are so smart, this is the first time I have seen this kind."

Wei Ziang's voice brought Xiaomi back to his senses in an instant, and he coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Isn't this the second sister who has some books about flowers? The flowers of this water hyacinth are very beautiful, and there is a name called hyacinth blue."

The second sister's book does have it, but the name water hyacinth is not there. She just opened her mouth quickly and accidentally said it.

Fortunately, Wei Ziang didn't pay attention, but just nodded: "So that's how it is. Just hearing the name water hyacinth, you know that this flower is very beautiful, but water hyacinth is more appropriate."

At least for now, the water hyacinth hasn't bloomed yet, so it can't be seen whether it is beautiful or not.

Xiaomi bared her teeth secretly, isn't it? It hasn't bloomed yet, and you will know what it looks like when it blooms.

"Brother, let's get a few flowers and put them at home. This one grows fast, and it can be chopped up and fed to pigs and chickens."

As soon as he said that, he started to prepare to go on, but just as he took a step, he was pulled back, turned his head, it was Wei Ziang, and Xiaomi looked at him blankly.

What are you pulling me for?There are not many water hyacinths in this pond, but some have fallen by the roadside, and they are already dead. It is obvious that someone is salvaging them.

This water hyacinth is not very useful, but feeding pigs and chickens is as good as wild boar grass. Others must know about this. It is more convenient to raise it at home than to salvage it outside?
Especially when it's raining, it's more convenient to fish directly in the pool at home than her father going out in the rain every day to find pigweed, right?

Otherwise, Xiaomi's thoughts are simple and easy to guess, Wei Ziang understood Xiaomi's doubts with just one glance, and smiled helplessly.

"It has been raining for several days. You can see that the steps are covered with moss and are very slippery. Just go down like this, and be careful not to fall into the water."

Although I can swim, it's still cold today. If I go for a walk in the water, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick.

Xiaomi also reacted: "Then what should I do? Wait a few days?"

It doesn't matter if you wait a few days, Wei Ziang's eyes searched around, and soon he saw a bundle of branches not far away at the bottom.

That should be when growing vegetables, to give some vegetables a shelf.

"Use that. I'll get two. We'll pick a few from the bank. Didn't you say this one grows fast? A few should be enough."

Immediately, the two of them went to borrow two or two branches, both of which were quite long. Standing on the bank and leaning against the fence, they could easily reach the water hyacinth on the surface of the water.

One person couldn't use his strength, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, held a water hyacinth, and when they picked it up hard, they fell to the shore.

It was quite easy, and then I got a few more flowers, and I thought it was almost done, so I returned the branch.

"Who are you? What are you doing with my things?" Someone shouted angrily just as he was about to put down the branches.

Looking up, a seven or eight-year-old boy was staring at their hands holding the branches.

This is treating them as thieves.

Xiaomi smiled sweetly: "We didn't steal it, we just borrowed it just now, and now we have returned it, by the way, thank you for your things."

Xiaomi is cute, her face looks like an egg that has been peeled off its shell, her big round eyes are shining, and her smile is as sweet as eating a lot of honey.

Even the voice of speaking is crisp, polite and pleasant.

It was probably the first time for that little boy to see such a cute kid. He didn't look like the children in the village at all, but looked like the daughters of those rich families.

However, those eldest ladies have different identities, and they never take a second look at the children on the side of the road, let alone show such a sweet smile.

So the moment Xiaomi raised his head to speak, the boy blushed, and he probably didn't hear exactly what Xiaomi said.

Wei Ziang found out, put down the things in his hands, naturally took Xiaomi's hand, and nodded to the boy.

"We have returned the things, thank you, let's go first."

After speaking, he took Xiaomi away directly, and of course he didn't forget to take their water hyacinth.

Just returned to the side of their own vegetable field, it happened that Jiang Hu and the others had also sowed the vegetable seeds, and they couldn't help being curious when they saw what they were carrying in their hands.

Jiang Hu was very surprised and happy: "Where did you get the water hyacinth?"

"Just the pond over there, Dad, you know this too?" Xiaomi pointed to a place not far behind, and saw the boy still standing there, not knowing what he was doing.

"In the past, there were a lot of these in the pond in our hometown. When it was hard to find pigweed in winter, we used this to feed pigs and chickens, but there was no such thing in Fu'an Village."

This water hyacinth is very common in some places, but it seems to be rare in some places.

"That's right, so I made some with my little brother, let's take it back and keep it at home, maybe it will come in handy."

The area of ​​the rockery and flowing water at home is not small, at least larger than the pond just now, not to mention there is a pool behind the house.

If all the water hyacinths are planted, there will be a lot more food for raising chickens and ducks, right?

Jiang Hu nodded: "Give it to me, you can't walk easily by yourself, so be careful not to fall."

A water hyacinth is not small, Xiaomi and Wei Ziang each hold one, but Jiang Hu can grab them all with one hand.

After returning home, Xiaoxue had boiled hot water and told them to wash their hands and feet and change their clothes. Then, together with Erniang, they helped wash the mud-stained clothes.

The water hyacinth was placed by Xiaomi on the waterside pavilion in the courtyard. The waterside pavilion in the courtyard is connected with the rockery in the study, and then spread to the pool outside.

The water in the pool flows along the canal to the whole Xiangmu Village.

While throwing the water hyacinth into the water, Xiaomi squatted by the pool and poured a lot of spiritual spring water into it.

The water in the house is connected to the pool outside. The water in the pool will flow down the river and spread to the whole Xiangmu Village, and some of it will flow into the pond in the village.

There is no river in Xiangmu Village. Everyone waters their crops, even the Jiang family, has to fetch water from the canals and ponds.

And she only needs to put the spiritual spring water in the pool, and the whole Xiangmu Village can get the benefits of the spiritual spring water.

This is really convenient.

Unlike in the past in Fu'an Village, you have to go to the village and run around to release the spirit spring water. Now you don't have to worry about being found out.

That's right, Xiaomi is still not going to be stingy with his spiritual spring water.

The spiritual spring water in the space has been forming all the time, and even the original small pool has now expanded, and there are more spiritual spring water, not to mention that Ling'er did not say that the spiritual spring water cannot be used.

That being the case, of course there is no need to use it for nothing. After all, it only makes your own crops better, but it is easy to become a thorn in the eyes of others.

What's more, based on Wei Ziang's previous science popularization, she knows that there are many other landowners or rich families in Xiangmu Village.

Hello, hello everyone, it's easier for them to settle down in Xiangmu Village early, and they don't even have to worry about being targeted or anything.

Although the title of Little Lucky Star is somewhat restrictive, it has to be said that it is really easy to use.

At the same time, Xiaomi also took advantage of the opportunity to release some small fish and a dozen loaches and eels in the pool. He originally wanted to release turtles, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

The space is like spring all the year round, and the soft-shelled turtles roam freely in it, and even the first batch of small soft-shelled turtles have already hatched.

However, it's still cold outside, so it seems a bit inappropriate to let it out now, so we have to wait.

It just so happens that they have moved to a new home now, and the water pavilion in this new home is quite suitable for raising turtles. When the time comes, just take precautions at the place where the water flows in and out, and don't let them escape.

Of course, that's something to wait until early summer.

But there is one thing to say, the spirit spring water is released from here, and no matter how bad it is, it will be put into the pool. It makes no sense that these turtles will escape, right?
As soon as the little fish enters the water and sinks to the bottom, it can't see anything at all.

After finishing her work in a sneaky way, Xiaomi turned around to help with the laundry and cooking. Wei Ziang was also rushed to have a look. After all, he was going to report to the new academy tomorrow.

Wei Ziang and Jiang Wei are still young, so they won't be in the same academy as Jiang Yu and Liu Ze. As for the future, it depends on their own grades.

Moreover, they will go to Liu's house tomorrow to visit Uncle Liu. After all, they have been in Cheng County for several days. Now that the weather is clear, it is unreasonable not to go.

Then you can start working with peace of mind.

After dinner, the children cleaned the kitchen by themselves, while Erniang and Jiang Hu started to pack their things, packing things for visiting Uncle Liu tomorrow.

They don't have valuables, and Uncle Liu is not rare, but he can't really just grab something and go.

I picked some good bacon and sausages, as well as some homemade dried vegetables, etc. These were all made at home last year. Not to mention the best, but certainly not bad.

In addition to these, I brought out some chrysanthemum tea, which I made myself.

However, looking at the assembled items, Er Niang still sighed: "I always feel that it's a bit of a waste of time. Uncle Liu has helped us so much this time, so he should show it in a decent way."

For bacon and sausages, they pulled a few pigs for the Liu family a few years ago, and they must not be short of them.

Moreover, people in Fu'an Village have been taking care of them all the time. Food such as chickens, ducks, goose eggs, etc. is still as usual, and a batch is shipped to Cheng County every few days.

Not to mention the Liu family, they have only moved here for a few days, and they have already received it twice, and it was sent by Uncle Liu.

It's funny to say, Uncle Liu bought it from Jiang's family with money, but turned around and sent it to Jiang's family.

Jiang Hu also felt that what Er Niang said was right, but after thinking about it, it seemed that apart from these, there was nothing else the family could give away.

Can't you send the banknote directly?Let's not say that people are not short of money, if they really take it out, I'm afraid they will be scolded by Uncle Liu directly.

"Besides these, there is nothing else to give."

Xiaomi was going to look for his parents, but he heard these two lines of conversation just as he walked to the door.

He paused, turned around and left.

It turns out that parents are worrying about what gift to give Uncle Liu, this is easy to handle.

Looking around, everyone was busy with their own work, Xiaomi glanced around casually, there were people in the yard, but she didn't pay attention to what she was doing.

So she wandered around the yard casually, and came to the gazebo.

There is a pool under the gazebo, and there are steps next to it to enter the water. The water hyacinth was released from this place before, and it is still near the steps.

Xiaomi squatted on the steps, reaching out to touch the water surface, the water was cool.

But now it was dark and the moon was not bright enough to see anything at all.

Xiaomi sighed softly, well, I still have to wait for tomorrow, I hope tomorrow will not leave too early, otherwise she has nothing to do.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone coming from behind.

"Xiaomi, why are you here, go wash up, it's time to go to bed later."

"Mom, I'll be right over."

Xiaomi responded, then hesitated for a second, put his hand into the water, made a quick movement, then got up, and quickly returned to his mother, ready to wash and sleep.

Erniang didn't ask what she was doing at all, and she didn't say much about going to Liu's house tomorrow, but just told everyone to go to bed early and get up early tomorrow.

Xiaomi murmured to herself, but don't get up too early, if she starts before dawn, her plan will be in vain.

But this can't be said directly, we can only see the situation tomorrow morning.

Until she fell asleep, Xiaomi was still thinking about it, and even in her dreams, she was carried into the car by her parents before dawn, and when she woke up, she had already entered the city or something.

Fortunately, when I woke up, it was already dawn, and I was still on the bed at home, but my second sister had packed up and was about to call her.

in time.

Xiaomi lay down and stretched: "Good morning, second sister."

Xiaoxue was a little surprised, usually Xiaomi would not wake up, but she still nodded: "Morning, get up when you wake up, I will help mother cook."

Xiaomi squinted his eyes in response, suddenly remembered what he did yesterday, opened his eyes again suddenly, rolled over and sat up, startling Xiaoxue.

"what happened?"

Only then did Xiaomi realize that the second sister hadn't left yet, so she quickly explained with a dry smile.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about going to the city today. I'm happy. Second sister, go see your mother first. I'll just get up by myself."

Xiaoxue didn't doubt it. After all, Xiaomi was always active. This time, after getting into the carriage for so long, she was finally able to go out. It's normal to be a little excited.

"Then you pack up slowly, I'll go out first."

After speaking, I really left.

As soon as the door was closed, Xiaomi also quickly got up, put on new clothes twice as fast as usual, tidied up her hair, and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
