Chapter 37: Learning to Grow Vegetables

37
"You buy so many things?" The driver couldn't help being surprised that the bags were not light.

As far as he knew, the fishermen by the sea seemed not to be rich.

"My brother will have an engagement party the day after tomorrow, so I need to buy more food." Bai Beibei smiled and said, "Brother, when we get to the vegetable field over there, please stop for a moment, I want to buy some vegetables to go back."

"Okay," said the coachman, "little girl, congratulate your brother for me."

"Thank you, big brother, let the family come to have a wedding banquet then." Bo Beibei greeted him.

"If you have time, you must go!"

When they arrived at the vegetable field, the driver stopped the car.

Yun didn't get out of the car, and said to Bai Beibei and the others: "Beibei, you and Yuzhu go to buy the vegetables, and I won't go."

People are useless when they are old, and they feel that they can't walk after only half a day.

"Okay, Auntie, take a rest, we will be back soon."

Bai Beibei saw an old farmer watering the vegetables on a cabbage field, took Bai Yuzhu into the field, and walked carefully from the ditch in the middle of the vegetable field to the vegetable farmer.

"Old man, do you want to sell these dishes?" Bo Beibei asked politely.

The old farmer raised his head, saw two little girls, and smiled kindly: "If you want to buy it, I'll sell it."

There is so much cabbage that I can't finish it at home, and I have to pickle it if I don't sell it.

"Old man, I want to buy, how do you sell these vegetables?"

"A penny a penny."

Hearing that the price was the same as the one asked last time in town, Bo Beibei asked again: "Old man, can it be cheaper if I buy more?"

"How much do you want?"

Bai Beibei looked at Bai Yuzhu, Bai Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Twenty."

Before Bai Beibei could speak, the old farmer said, "Twenty? I'm afraid it's not that many!"

The old farmer looked into his field and said, "Some of them are too small, and it's a pity to pull them out. There are only fifteen or sixteen at most."

"Fifteen or sixteen is fine," Bai Yuzhu said.

The old farmer looked carefully again, and said, "I'll give you sixteen, and I'll count you fifteen Wen."

"Old man, please help me pull out all the vegetables." Bai Beibei said yes.

The old farmer was picking vegetables in the field. When Bai Beibei saw a woman in the field next to the old farmer who seemed to be planting vegetables, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Bai Yuzhu across the field.

"Ma'am, what are you planting?" Bo Beibei knelt down and looked at the seeds in the woman's hand.

The woman raised her head and saw two little girls, and she smiled on her dark face: "This is Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum."

"Ma'am, can you teach me how to grow this Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum?" Bai Beibei looked at the woman eagerly.

As long as she learns to grow vegetables, the land in her space will not go to waste.

"Beibei, do you want to learn how to grow vegetables?" Bai Yuzhu looked at Bai Beibei incredulously. This girl's work these days is always confusing.

"Sister Yuzhu, I want to learn how to grow vegetables, but don't tell my brother about this for now, okay?" She didn't forget her brother's reaction when he heard that she wanted to learn how to grow vegetables last time.

"We don't have any land, so I really don't understand what you are learning to grow vegetables for?" Bai Yuzhu muttered, but she didn't object.

It's just that the woman laughed when she heard this: "Little girl, it's not something you can learn to grow vegetables in a short while."

"Ma'am, I know it's not easy to learn how to grow vegetables, but I'm just curious. I'll watch you plant them next to me. While you're planting, you can tell me the things I need to pay attention to when growing vegetables, can you?" Bo Beibei begged.

"There's nothing wrong with it." The woman said as she sprinkled the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum seeds in her hand into the prepared ground, "Planting this chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is the same as growing cabbage, just scatter the seeds in the ground, and wait for the seeds to sprout. Finally, it should be transplanted in time, and the distance between the trees should come out..."

Bo Beibei listened carefully, nodding as she listened, carefully remembering every word the aunt said in her heart.

Seeing that the old farmer over there had already pulled out the cabbage, Bai Yuzhu wanted to remind Bai Beibei, but seeing that she was concentrating, she couldn't bear to disturb her.

It wasn't until Yun Shi waited impatiently and urged them loudly that Bai Yuzhu tugged at the corner of Bai Beibei's clothes and said, "Beibei, auntie told us to go back."

Bai Beibei was engrossed in listening, swept Bai Yuzhu's hand, and continued to listen carefully to the aunt's explanation of the matters needing attention in soaking the Artemisia annua before sowing.

Bai Yuzhu had no objection to Bo Beibei learning how to grow vegetables, but her obsessed appearance really shocked her.

"Beibei, it's getting late, let's go home!" Bai Yuzhu pulled her up without saying anything, and walked towards the old vegetable farmer.

When Bai Beibei was disturbed by Bai Yuzhu, she heard Yun's calling herself over there, and turned her head to the woman who grew vegetables: "Ma'am, I will come to ask you another day, is that okay?"

Another day, she will buy some pens and paper and bring them here, and write down the things that need to be paid attention to. The aunt has talked too much, and she can't remember them all.

"Of course." The aunt smiled.

Hearing that Bai Beibei said that she would come to ask for advice, Bai Yuzhu frowned: "Beibei, you are curious, why are you so serious?"

Beibei's appearance just now was a bit scary, and she didn't even hear what was said in her ear.

"Sister Yuzhu, you will know in the future." Bai Beibei put it off first, because she had other plans.

I paid the money to the vegetable farmers and helped them move the vegetables to the car.

Thanks to the old vegetable farmer, the group returned to the fishing village.

Early in the morning on August [-]rd, Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Zhao and several women from the village came to Mrs. Feng's house early to help wash rice and cook, wash vegetables, stew meat and kill fish.

Bo Dinghai, Bai Dinglang, and Bo Manchuan's cousins ​​went to various houses to borrow tables and chairs, and they put all the borrowed tables and chairs in the open space of the fish market, preparing to have a banquet here.

Fortunately, the weather is good today, there is no rain, and the sun is not too hot.

There are only two stoves in Feng's house, one is used for cooking and the other is used for stewing meat, so Feng has no choice but to invite several women in the village to cook other dishes at Yun's house.

At this time, Bo Beibei's cooking skills were too bad to help, so she went to Bai Yuzhu.

At this time, Bai Yuzhu had just put on new clothes, and asked her mother anxiously with a blushing face, "Mom, do you look good?"

Yuzhu Niang walked around her daughter and nodded in satisfaction: "It's beautiful, it's beautiful!"

Although Yuzhu Niang is very patriarchal, she is still happy from the bottom of her heart to see that Bai Manchuan's family treats her daughter well. Besides, Bai Manchuan also offered a dowry of 30 taels, so she has no reason to be unhappy.

Seeing the smile on Bai Yuzhu's face, You Shi, who was leaning against the door, felt it was particularly dazzling, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Mother, I don't think we should be too happy too soon, and make a marriage and throw a big banquet? Isn't that right?" Slap your face swollen to make yourself fat, and when Yuzhu gets married, Yuzhu will cry when she pays off her debts!"
