"What's the matter? I've already brought it and you asked me to take it back?"

He Hongjin glared at Lu Miao angrily, temporarily put down the hoe handle, and dragged his legs to the edge of the field.

The uncle in the field next door joked:

"Hong Jin, you have been doing great things all your life, but you never thought before, right? You will meet such a little nemesis when you get old, hahaha..."

That uncle was senior. He Hongjin smiled and didn't reply.

When he saw the turtles in the basket brought by Lu Miao, he was dissatisfied again:

"I don't like this, take it back and give it to your child!"

"The eldest and second darlings are young and can't eat this. Hurry up. I'll ask Tian Zao to take care of the child. We've been away for too long. It's time to cry."

Lu Miao carried out the second treasure of Dabao, and He Hongjin was convinced. He took the bowl and sat on the ridge of the field to eat.

The trouser leg of his injured leg was rolled up.

Lu Miao leaned forward and took a look.

The skin on his leg was bruised and swollen, and there was some white powdery substance dripping from the wound, which must have been the medicine he applied on it.

In the center of the white powder, dark red blood and pus were mixed together. It was a bit disgusting, and you could imagine how painful it was.

Lu Miao turned away and couldn't help but mutter:

"It's not like there's much work. It's not impossible to leave this place for a few days."

He Hongjin looked up at her, his dark face wrinkled with a strange expression.

Lu Miao was not afraid and continued to hum:

"Why are you looking at me? I'm right. You're already a lot of age. It's not good to just worry about the fields every day, right? Several young people in the family are worried. Can't you tell?"

Just as He Hongjin finished eating the turtle and soup, Lu Miao took back the bowl arrogantly, holding the basket and saying:

"If you really fall down, Brother You will be hurt later, so quickly collect your things and go home to rest!"

After Lu Miao finished speaking, he rushed back in a hurry.

"Hey——! This girl Nizi!"

He Hongjin was left sitting on the ridge of the field scratching his head:

"You're fucking treating me like a grandson!"

After mumbling again and again, He Hongjin stood up, picked up the hoe and walked back.

The uncle in the neighboring field looked at it curiously:

"Hong Jin, aren't you just here? Where are you going?"

He Hongjin replied with a smile: "It's almost Chinese New Year. Let's go home and rest for two days to enjoy the blessings!"

Let’s talk about Lu Miao.

She was originally worried that her eldest daughter and her second son would be making trouble at home, so she hurried back. On the way, she saw the mountain chrysanthemums blooming in perfect bloom on the side of the road, and couldn't help but stop again.

I drank this mountain chrysanthemum tea before traveling through time, and it was very effective in clearing away heat and reducing internal heat.

Lu Miao avoided the thorns mixed with the flowers, rushed to break off a large handful of mountain chrysanthemum branches, and continued to walk home.

When we got home, Minjie and Minmin also came over.

The two little ones took off their shoes and reached out to Ma Tianzao for help. They entered the fence early and played with Dabao and Dabao.

Ma Tianzao was sitting on a small mat, lying on the chair reading the newspaper. When he saw her coming back with chrysanthemums, he was surprised:

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing this for?"

Lu Miao smiled and explained a few sentences, and Ma Tianzao was even more surprised:

"Just this wild chrysanthemum, can it clear away heat and reduce fire?"

"Isn't it? Don't you know? This is a common Chinese medicinal material."

Ma Tianzao really doesn’t know.

Every year like spring, yellow wild chrysanthemums the size of your little finger bloom all over the mountains and plains.

Moreover, their vitality is extremely tenacious, and they can continue to survive even after frost or snow.

Ma Tianzao got excited:

"How to do this? Sister-in-law, please teach me too!"

"I have only drunk it before, and I only heard a few words from others about how to prepare it..."

Lu Miao was embarrassed, scratched his forehead and said:

"I'm not sure whether it will work or not." Ma Tianzao was confident in her honey juice:

"If others can't, my sister-in-law can definitely do it!"

Lu Miao laughed: "You read the newspaper and write some words first. I'll clean it up and teach you something new today."

Ma Tianzao nodded quickly.

With Ma Tianzao helping to look after the children, Lu Miao can feel more at ease when she is busy.

She picked the chrysanthemums individually and put them in a basin. She poured some well water into them.

Wash it several times, not only to remove the dust on the surface of the chrysanthemum, but also to clean out the leaves that have been removed along with it.

When the washing was almost done, Lu Miao poured water into the pot, set up the steaming tray, and put at least the gauze on which the steamed buns were steamed.

The washed chrysanthemums were piled on the gauze.

The flower branches she folded back looked like a lot, but actually there weren't many flowers after she picked them off.

After lighting a fire and waiting for the water to boil to steam the chrysanthemums, Lu Miao opened the lid of the pot to control the temperature.

When the temperature went down and it was no longer hot, I took the chrysanthemums out with the gauze and poured them into the small sieve I prepared early in the morning and shook them evenly.

Lu Miao put the small sieve on the manhole cover to dry.

The preparations are almost complete at this point.

Then let the wind blow and let the sun bask in it for a few days until it is completely dry.

At that time you will know whether it is successful or not.

After cleaning up, Lu Miao returned to the main room.

The characters and pinyin were almost taught to Ma Tianzao before. The rest can only be consolidated and memorized by Ma Tianzao when he went back.

Lu Miao could do nothing more to help her.

Today I will teach Ma Tianzao something new, and Lu Miao plans to teach me how to write articles and essays.

This was a big step for Ma Tianzao. She didn't even understand what an article was.

Lu Miao pointed at the newspaper, broke it into pieces and told her:

"These are all articles in newspapers, but they report events, are more official, and have strict wording requirements."

"You have just started to get started. Instead of doing these difficult things, let's start with writing about things and people, starting with short sentences."

Lu Miao said, pointing to Dabao and Erbao and giving a simple example:

"Let's just describe the child. Do you think his eyes are round? Are they big? Are they as cute as the dolls in the New Year pictures?"

Ma Tianzao nodded.

Lu Miao simplified the language and wrote an example sentence for her.

Ma Tianzao immersed himself in watching her write and read out with stumbling:

"His eyes are round and black, like grapes after the rain, and his face is round and looks as cute as the koi carp doll in the New Year paintings..."

Ma Tianzao straightened up, his eyes swept back and forth between Benzi and Dabao Erbao, and suddenly said seriously:

"Sister-in-law, I seem to have figured out a little trick!"

Lu Miao smiled and said, "Tell me about it?"

"Just write more about what it looks like, right?"

Ma Tianzao scratched his forehead and said uncertainly.

Lu Miao thought for a moment and nodded gently:

"That's right."

For beginners, there is nothing wrong with having this opinion.

Seeing that she was affirmed, Ma Tianzao's eyes suddenly lit up. She applied what she had learned and said everything she could think of:

"Nimble like a loach, chubby like a pig, smile...well, it looks energetic! Like hope!"

Lu Miao was amused by her, corrected some minor mistakes, and then gave her an in-depth explanation of some sentence patterns and grammar.

For example, personification, metaphor, parallelism, hyperbole, rhetorical questions, etc. (End of chapter)
