The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 233 Make lotus lanterns, I listen to you

Ning Chen didn't hear Su Banxi's words for a while, and Ning Chen thought he had made a mistake. He turned his head and saw Su Banxi looking at him with a smile in his eyes, which made his heart thump, and he moved away in a panic. He asked with some unease in his gaze, "What's the matter...? Xixi, did I make a mistake?" It shouldn't be, except for the lotus and leaves picked by Mrs. Su Wen and Mrs. Zhao. He remembered all the lotus flowers and leaves he picked in his heart, so there should be no mistake in the calculation.

Su Banxi shook her head: "It's not wrong, I'm just a little surprised that you can remember it so clearly." Such a terrifying numerical memory ability is really the best thing God bestowed on Ning Chen, but it can't make up for the fact that he lost his parents and looked at his own life. The pain of the loss of parents, another person has come alone for the past ten years.

Ning Chen grinned and showed her white and neat teeth, making Su Banxi suppress the sadness in her heart and hang her head down to continue washing. Mrs. Zhang joined in to make the cleaning work a little faster. In the end, Zhang Dongmei and Aunt Zhu had finished their meal. A child had to follow the example of a few people to clean, but when the big and small tore several lotus leaves, Aunt Zhu finally drove them to their father.

Su Banxi and the others had only cleaned half of their side by the time they were eating enough. After all, the sky was getting dark and the light was not very clear. Even if Su Wen brought them two oil lamps, it was only enough to illuminate that side of the world. It is too effective, and Su Banxi has to throw away the bad lotus leaves and pick out the damaged parts of the lotus, so she is the slowest in cleaning, because she is the last process, even if the person cleaning in front will be broken The lotus leaves and lotus flowers were thrown away, but the lotus leaves that fell into her hands still had a lot of problems. She also threw away a lot of lotus leaves.

Su Banxi and everyone set a time tomorrow for Mrs. Zhao to give them all the money they deserved today. Even Aunt Zhu and Mrs. Zhang got it. Mrs. Zhao stopped Zhang Dongmei when Aunt Zhu wanted to refuse. "If you don't accept the money, then you should rest at home tomorrow. I also know that there are neighbors in my hometown, but I can't let you work for nothing, right. If you don't have a solid tomorrow with this money, help our family Pick more lotus leaves and lotus flowers."

As Mrs. Zhao said that, sure enough Zhang Dongmei and Aunt Zhu were no longer refusing, but they rushed to finish all the work of the Su family as if they were feeling sorry for taking the money, and even the dishes and chopsticks were clean.

This time they are going to the pond outside Tunjiawan, which is bigger than the lotus pond in Tunjiawan, but because the journey is a bit far, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so Su Banxi asked Su Wen to ask the village chief's house for the ox cart. Unable to lend them a day, Su Wenyed hurried to the village chief's house in the dark.

Both Shanming and Qiuming had things they couldn't let go of at home, so they said hello to Su Shi and Zhao and left. The two children, big and small, were sleepy after eating and playing for an afternoon. His eyes could hardly be opened, so Zhu Jian had no choice but to take the two children, big and small, back to sleep, and then come to pick up Aunt Zhu later, but Aunt Zhu refused, "You don't need to pick me up, you can watch it at home." It's enough to have two children, and I'm not a child who can't go home alone, so it's okay to talk about it."

Zhu Jian had no choice but to carry a child on his back, and went home hunched over with Xiao Zhuang in his arms. Aunt Zhu was watching Zhu Jian walking carefully, lest he accidentally hurt the big Zhuang on his back. She fell to the ground, and Aunt Zhu turned her gaze away to continue cleaning the lotus leaves after Zhu Jian and the two children disappeared from sight.

Su Shi got a little drunk, and was staggered by Mrs. Zhao to help him go back to his room to rest. Mrs. Zhao first lit up the two oil lamps placed around him, then poured a little kerosene into the lamp holders, and then rolled them up. The sleeves fetched water for everyone, and finally Ning Chen took the wooden barrel in Mrs. Zhao's hand, and actively poured and changed the water. For a while, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of lotus leaves and lotus, and everyone seemed to be infected with it. , fragrant but not greasy.

After all, Su Banxi is not a long-term worker. Just squatting and washing the lotus leaves and lotus flowers for a while makes her back sore that she can't straighten up. When she moves a little, it hurts so much that she immediately supports her waist with her hands. Ning Chen When she saw it, she ran up to help Su Banxi to sit on a stool beside her without caring about her wet hands. If it wasn't for the fact that there were people watching Ning Chen, she would have rubbed Su Banxi directly.

Su Banxi recovered after a short rest. When she wanted to help, she was stopped by Ning Chen and Mrs. Zhao, "You should rest, anyway, there is not much left, and we will finish washing our hands and feet soon." As Zhao said, Su Banxi really had a sore back. It seemed that it was caused by squatting on the ground for too long just now, so she didn't insist on it anymore. Instead of asking Ning Chen to clean it, she asked him to wash Su Banxi away. Take the dustpan that has been woven and placed outside, wash it with clean water, and then dry it with a handkerchief. Put the lotus leaves and flowers washed by Mrs. Zhao and others in the dustpan separately. If the dustpan is not enough, find a large wooden board to do the same. It is also possible to find two stools to support it after washing, and directly place the lotus leaves on it.

Although the lotus leaf porridge uses fresh lotus leaves, it is because the porridge cooked in this way is dry in taste. Although the dried lotus leaves do not have the strong fragrance of fresh lotus leaves, the taste is good. There are also lotus leaves and lotus flowers. Su Banxi wants to collect more and dry them all when the weather is good. When the time comes, grind them into powder, and then collect all the dried lotus leaves or make lotus leaf tea, and lotus leaf tea has medicinal properties Pinghe has almost no side effects, and is the best product for detoxification, beauty and weight loss.

When all the lotus leaves and lotus flowers were cleaned, Aunt Zhu and others said goodbye and left. Mrs. Zhao said that she would send them off, but Aunt Zhu and Zhang Dongmei refused. Since your family is busy, it's better to rest early!"

Not long after Aunt Zhu and the others left, Su Wen, who had gone to the village chief’s house to borrow the ox cart, also came back, “The village chief said he could lend it to us, but I gave the village chief [-] Wen at the time of Haishi. Borrowing something, if you don’t give me some money, I always feel uneasy." Su Wen scratched the back of his head and said, his eyes glowed faintly under the dim candlelight, making Su Banxi smile.

Mrs. Zhao said to Su Wen while closing the courtyard door: "This is as it should be. You have been running all day today, and there is still hot water in the kitchen. Go wash up and go to bed!"

Su Banxi also wanted to take a bath. When she was in Yuning Town, her chest hurt from time to time and she was not suitable for taking a bath. She just scrubbed her body with hot water every night. Now that she can finally take a bath, she seems to feel that the soreness on her body is gone Zhao Shi, who wanted to rub her waist, looked at her like this, shook her head, prepared to take a shower, and then went to bed.

Before dawn the next day, Su Banxi got up and cooked a pot of soft, glutinous and sweet lotus leaf porridge. The faint fragrance wafted out of the kitchen. She didn't mention Ning Chen's leave, but she didn't know Ning Chen was thinking about something in her heart. Since she said she was going back to Tunjiawan, Ning Chen's expression was a bit weird, not like hatred, but a bit of melancholy, which made her puzzled, but she didn't open her mouth to go. Ask, just waiting for the people who eat to get up, everyone guessed that after a little preparation, they locked the courtyard door and set off towards the lotus pond.

Ye Wang and his son are currently in the town temporarily helping Uncle Nu buy rose trotters and Siwu fungus soup. Jin and Zhou also need someone to take care of them, so Sun Huai also stayed. The speed of repairing the new store is quite fast. , basically already formed, you only need to paint with the color that old man Liu himself prepared, and you are done. But at this time, Su Banxi returned to Tunjiawan and made old man Liu almost jump, but there is no rush, because it is still close to the end One process, that is, the cellar has not yet been dug.

He calculated the cellar with Jin Zhou, and Jin Zhou heard Su Banxi mention that the bigger the cellar, the better, so Jin Zhou said the same to Old Man Liu, and Old Man Liu didn't think it was difficult, after all, he has been repairing houses all his life, Designing a courtyard attic was much more difficult than this, and I wobbled to South Street with the measured drawings in my hand.

"Su Banxi really left everything to me, a patient, to take care of everything. She might as well go home to relax and be lazy, and wait for her to come back to see how I deal with her." Jin Zhou held his mouth and looked at the table. Said the bowl of clear water porridge, Sun Huai looked up at Jin Zhou, was looking at the bowl of clear water porridge, with a smile that couldn't be concealed in his eyes, coughed and said:
"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it at that time, and it's not that you don't know that girl Xizi has a lot of ideas. Who knows why she took Ning Chen back to Tunjiawan at this juncture, you should be honest. Seriously, drink porridge, don't think that you can eat spicy food if Xizi is not here, Xizi told us before leaving, let us look after you, after all, your wound is healing now, but you should You still have to pay more attention, you are not a small person, I believe you know which is more important, so I still..."

Seeing that Jin Zhou picked up the bowl of clear water porridge with a bitter expression, Sun Huai shut his mouth knowingly and continued to look at the medical book in his hand. Jin Zhou drank the bowl of clear water porridge into his stomach in pain, he really didn't want to listen Sun Huai couldn't finish talking, and I don't know if it was Su Banxi's intention to always let Sun Huai take care of him, no matter what he wanted to eat, Sun Huai would start talking non-stop, He had no choice but to tell Sun Huai to shut up and choose to drink porridge quietly.

Su Banxi, you ghost girl, I must have owed you a lot of money in my previous life.

Otherwise, how could I be tortured by you in this life!
The aroma of rose pig's trotters and fungus soup has been tormenting him all the time. He can see and smell it but can't eat it. There is nothing more painful in life than this!

Jin Zhou was thinking this in his bitter heart while drinking porridge. What he didn't expect was that Su Banxi was also in charge of carrying lotus flowers and leaves under the sun like a clay doll at this time. On the other hand, they tied up the scattered lotus flowers with straw ropes. Even if they had brought cold mung bean soup, everyone was so hot that their sweat almost evaporated. In the end, everyone had to wear a piece of lotus on their heads. Ye continued to work.

Big and small children are full of energy, running around with a lotus leaf umbrella in their hands, Su Banxi pays attention to the two of them, lest one foot slips and falls into the pond, just straighten up and look, This uninhabited lotus pond is really big, but there are also a lot of dried lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The cool water in the pool has become hot after half a day of sunlight. With a handful of water and hitting her face, Su Banxi felt herself Come alive.

However, the clothes on her body were wet and dirty, but she also cared about it, but the people in the pool kept talking and laughing and busy, but the movements of her hands did not slow down at all, and she also noticed Qiuming. , although he is tall and strong, he is not good at working, and his hand speed is slower than Zhang Dongmei Zhang and others, but later Su Wen told him that Qiuming is a different kind of farmer, even though he is tall and strong He is strong, but his body is not suitable for his tall and strong body, which is why he works so slowly.

But it's all for the little bastards in the family, although they are all busy with his work, but what each child is only a few years old can do, what to eat, drink and wear is almost all on his shoulders , his elder brother and sister-in-law saw that he would pick up and bring a child back almost every year, so they separated from him and moved away. When a white-eyed wolf was raised, Qiuming just smiled and didn't say a word about it. He still went around looking for work to feed the group of children every day, and as for himself, he saved as much as he could.

"Brother Qiuming is very kind-hearted!" In ancient times, there was no so-called family planning in modern times. It was simply to have as many children as you wanted, but there were too many children born, and those who could not be raised were either given away or sold. Throwing the child into the deep mountains and old forests is also thanks to Qiuming's tireless efforts to pick up the child and raise the child.

While tying up the lotus, Su Shi glanced at Qiuming and said, "That child is also a hard-fated one. Although he is the youngest, he is not in good health. The medicine money he needs to spend all day is almost five days' rations for his family. At that time His parents scolded him and didn't abandon him after all. When his elder brother married a wife, he couldn't bear to raise Qiuming, a sick child, and made a big fuss. Qiuming had no choice but to live alone. When his parents passed away, his elder brother listened to his wife. Then he separated from him and only left him some barren land and that old house. What can I do with a few pennies, plus his own money for medicine and to take care of the children, even if the neighborhood subsidies are not enough, but He has a better heart than ordinary people, I think he doesn't want those children to go his own way, so he wants to pick up the children and bring them back to raise him!"

Su Banxi didn't put a smile on hearing the words, Qiuming's behavior is good and admirable, but in Su Banxi's view, he is really stupid, even his own livelihood is a problem, and he still has to pick up and bring some children back to raise, really I don't know whether to praise him or scold him.

"By the way, Xiaoxi, don't you want to pick all the lotus leaves and flowers in this pool?" Su Shi asked looking at the green and light pink lotus leaves and flowers in the pool.

Su Banxi withdrew her gaze and shook her head and said: "No, we don't have much time to get so many picks, and I have to go to Yuning Town after a while, and I will start to make a living after digging the cellar for the new store. Waiting for the new store to come into operation before I have time to come back. By the way, Mom and Dad have already told you about the building of our house. Grandpa Liu asked me to come back and ask how much blue bricks and ash our house would need if we knocked it down and rebuilt it. Wat, he could ask someone to ask the price and give us a discount!"

Su Shi had already figured it out when Mrs. Zhao mentioned it to him, and after roughly giving Su Banxi a number, Su Banxi was silent for a while, rubbing his chin and thinking: "In this case, there should be more discounts, right? But let’s talk about the Yulan Festival first, let’s talk about how the Yulan Festival is celebrated here.” Many ancient cultures have been lost in this world, and the Yulan Festival is what later generations call the July and a half. She was a gift of gold and silver ingots, and she didn't know who her parents were, and she spent the Yu Lan Festival at home every year in the hospital.

"Yeah, the Yulan Basin will be held in a few days. At that time, every household will put on a few lotus lanterns and put them in the river in the northwest of Yuning Town at night, and then they will burn street clothes and make eggplants. cakes, praying for a good harvest, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and setting off sky lanterns, this is how it is every year, it seems that when we go home, we will prepare lotus lanterns and sky lanterns tied with bamboo sticks." Su Shi sighed, with a hint of melancholy in his words Sad and desolate, Su Banxi knew that he was thinking of Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su, so she stopped talking.

Su Banxi let everyone go ashore when the lotus leaves and lotus flowers were about the same. After resting for a while and drinking some mung bean soup, everyone stepped on their shoes and swayed back to the village. I don't know if it was Su Banxi's back or the Fang family's idea. They met at the entrance of the village, and the atmosphere condensed instantly. Even the sun above the head was very hot, but it couldn't dispel the coldness among the crowd.

"Bah, it's really bad luck, I met you as soon as I went out!" Wang Cui obviously forgot what Su Banxi asked Fang Tian to tell her yesterday, now with both hands on her thick waist, she poured a mouthful of phlegm into the ground, Su Banxi pretended not to look at it Then he smiled contemptuously: "So it's Aunt Cui, you guys, I think you look familiar from all the way."

These words were very skillful. Ning Chen and Qiuming were the first to realize the meaning of Su Banxi's words, and immediately laughed very shamelessly. Ning Chen is not afraid of Wang Cuifangtian and others, but Qiuming laughed purely because it was funny, and besides, he and Wang Cui's family had no grievances. Besides, Wang Cui had to weigh it even if he wanted to find fault. Otherwise, you may be deaf from crying.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Su Banxi, let me tell you, don't be too complacent, you will cry one day." Wang Cui glared at Ning Chen and Qiuming angrily, then put down her big words and said, behind her Fang Sheng and Fang Tian frowned at the same time but didn't say anything. Fang Fang suffered a lot because of Su Banxi's move on her last time. Now when she saw Su Banxi's smile, she reflexively felt pain.

Qiuming didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't speak. Ning Chen simply ignored it because he was afraid that he would reveal his hatred when he talked to Wang Cui. Wang Cui looked down at the lotus leaves on the bullock cart. Ye is very gratifying, and after a few glances, he seems to feel a lot better, so he will not bother with Wang Cui for the time being, and when he finds the evidence that Wang Cui and Fangsheng killed his parents, he will smile Seeing that Wang Cuifang deserved his crime.

However, Wang Cui felt something was wrong when he didn't speak, and he was dissatisfied at the moment. He pointed at Qiuming and said, "Are you scolding me in your heart? I know that none of you who got involved with Su Banxi is Good thing, everyone helped Su Banxi to bully our family, if not for our broad-mindedness, we would have been rude to you, and allowed you to slander our family behind our backs."

These words were really shameless, and the faces of the Shanming and Liu brothers were distorted, but Qiuming seemed not to care and said, "I said, Aunt Wang, you are neither a scholar, nor a county magistrate. Why do you talk, why don't you just scold you in your heart if you don't talk, Aunt Wang, you think too highly of yourself, or is it that the sun is too big to burn your head, why don't you just say something that makes people laugh out loud, Although our nature is not very good, at least we will not calculate others behind their backs, and we will not cooperate with others to do some low-level things, and Aunt Wang, although you have a broad body, your heart is like the eye of an embroidery needle. Stop boasting, lest you lose your face."

Su Banxi's face was blushing. She thought that Qiuming was a quiet and honest person, but she would become a blockbuster if she didn't say anything. Look at what they said, and seeing Wang Cui's distorted face with anger, everyone They all felt very relieved. No one said anything at first, but they were beaten down by Wang Cui with such a blow, and everyone felt angry.

"All right, all right, don't talk anymore." At this moment, the silent Fang Sheng stood up and said, his dark eyes glanced at Su Banxi, Ning Chen and Qiuming, Su Banxi looked over with a smile, Fang Sheng was taken aback and looked gloomy. He moved his face away from his eyes, and he didn't know why the smile in Su Banxi's eyes always made him feel a bad premonition, and that feeling made him very annoying.

Every year during the Bon Festival, they have to go to the town to spend with Boss Liang a few days in advance, and this year is the same, but what Fang Sheng didn't expect was that Ning Chen would be hired by Chen Ji Restaurant, and His son was kicked out saying that his head, hands and feet were not clean, and his work was not quick, which made Fang Sheng laugh angrily, but he was also very self-aware and did not go to the management office of Chenji Restaurant to argue, because the people in Tunjiawan Everyone knows that the manager behind Chen Ji Restaurant is from the Chen family, and the only son of the Chen family, Chen Muyi, seems to have a good relationship with Ning Chen and Su Banxi, so asking for an explanation is simply asking for trouble.

Fang Sheng is not the kind of person who has no brains, and naturally he would not go to Boss Liang to speak ill of Ning Chen, and then ask him to go to Chen Muyi to ask for an explanation. Can't stand the money and power of others, Boss Liang can't compare with others, let alone Chen Muyi has contacts with Jiang Zhuohua from the Jiang family.

In fact, there are not so many rich people in Yuning Town, but there are not many, but every family has such a layer of relationship to maintain it. Besides, it is a peaceful age and every family is not a violent person, so naturally they don't want to make trouble. Big, but Fang Sheng and Fang Tian have heard that Chen Muyi, the young master of the Chen family, is very headstrong, and dares to do anything, beating people is of course not a problem, not to mention that there are several servants behind him to protect him.

"Let's go!" Finally, Su Shi said lightly, without even looking at the Fang family. He was also afraid that when he couldn't help waving the whip in his hand, it's better to keep out of sight!
Apparently, the Fang family also thought so, but when passing by Su Banxi and Ning Chen, Su Banxi's clear and light voice rang in Fang Sheng's ears, although it was very flat and without ups and downs, but for some reason, Fang Sheng heard it. There was a chilling sense of horror in the ears of the family members, especially Fang Sheng and Wang Cui who had done something wrong!

"I heard that the Yulan Basin Festival is also a ghost festival. On that day, the gates of the underworld will be opened, and those ghosts will come out to meet their families at the annual Yulan Basin Festival. Chenchen's parents have been dead for so long. Well, I should take this opportunity to visit Chenchen this time. You said that if Chenchen's parents knew what you did to Chenchen before, would they just take you down together like this? Then we can avenge themselves, and we won't let you hurt Chenchen."

Fang Sheng and Wang Cui were sweating all over their bodies. It was a scorching summer day, but they both shuddered. Fang Tian looked at them in confusion, why his parents reacted so strongly.

If you want to destroy a person, start from their heart first, especially for those who have done bad things like Fang Sheng and Wang Cui, the pressure on their hearts will be even greater, and she will also leave Tunjiawan. If you give them a big gift when the time comes, you won't be afraid that they won't say it when the time comes.

Seeing Su Banxi's sinister smile, Mrs. Zhao was a little curious about what she and Fang Sheng and the others had said. Su Banxi shook her head and said it was nothing, and Mrs. Zhao didn't ask any further questions, but Ning Chen roughly guessed it. The corners of the eyes are stained with a faint red smile, which is very beautiful!

By the time all the lotus leaves and lotus flowers were cleaned, it was already getting late. After Su Banxi calculated the wages for everyone and left them to eat, they all said no, took the money and hurried home. This night, the Su family ate casually After one meal, they all washed up and went to bed.

The next day, before the cock crowed, Ning Chen, who had something on his mind, turned over and got up. First, he cleaned the yard and fed the chickens and sheep. One plant was pulled out, but the isatid root was growing well. The plants were close together, and the little daisy next to it withered and bloomed, and bloomed and withered. Ning Chen scratched his neck and seemed to remember that he had mentioned this little daisy to Su Banxi in the book It seems to have the effect of clearing heat, relieving fire, and relieving summer heat. Anyway, I was very bored with something in my heart, so I just took a small dustpan and picked white chrysanthemums one by one.

When Mrs. Zhao got up first, she saw a pure white chrysanthemum besides the lotus leaf and lotus that was drying last night in the yard, which made her blink, but then she saw Ning Chen appearing with a dustpan and a small chrysanthemum When I was in the front yard, I immediately understood, "Why don't you pick so many chrysanthemums so early, kid? Take a rest and wait for aunt to make breakfast!"

Mrs. Zhao is a gentle person, she will ask what should be asked, but Mrs. Zhao will not mention a word of what should not be asked, even if Ning Chen is smiling at her now, but that The smile seemed to be mixed with the bitterness of chrysanthemums, looking at Mrs. Zhao, her heart was also sour, and she sighed in her heart, then hurriedly cleaned up her hands, bent her sleeves to wash the rice, and prepared to do what Su Banxi did in the past two days Lotus leaf porridge.

And Su Shi also got up together. Su Shi seemed to like the pagoda tree in the courtyard very much. He always sat on a stool with bamboo strips in his hands and began to tie the ground lotus lanterns that will be used in the next two days. And the sky lanterns, and the gold and silver cloth paper used for the Yulan Festival has already been prepared and placed in the house, and I will wait until the day before the Yulan Festival to go to the town to buy some incense candles for ancestor worship, etc. Things like eggplant cakes were made by Mrs. Zhao in the past, and the taste is not bad. Maybe Mrs. Zhao will make them today.

Because Mrs. Zhao has never taught Su Banxi how to make eggplant cakes, and every household has the habit of making eggplant cakes every year during the Yulan Festival. Because they have made many lotus lanterns and sky lanterns, Su Shi has already tied them up when eating breakfast. Five or six lotus lanterns and three sky lanterns have been produced, and we just need to paste them with white paper. Simple has its advantages. They are all poor people who have to work with their own hands.

Ning Chen followed Su Shi to make lanterns when he had nothing to do, but it was wrong every time, either because he used too much force and broke the bamboo strips, or he remembered the steps wrong. In short, none of the lanterns made looked like lanterns. , which made Su Shi laugh endlessly, but he still taught carefully, Su Wen had already set up the bowls and chopsticks and was about to ask Su Banxi to get up to eat when he was stopped by Mrs. Zhao who was holding a spoon.

"Don't call Xiaoxi, Gangniang has called, maybe she has been exhausted for the past two days, let her sleep a little longer, let's eat first, anyway, there is a lot of porridge today, when she wakes up, she can eat by herself Will eat."

Su Wen said "Oh" and called Su Shi and Ning Chen, who were sitting under the pagoda tree, to have dinner. After the three of them had breakfast, Su Banxi woke up slowly, and gave another big slap as if he hadn't woken up. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and finally felt extremely tired. He closed his eyes and dawdled for a long time before getting dressed. After brushing his long hair twice, he opened the door and went out.

"Xiaoxi is up, go and wash up, there is still porridge in the pot, mother boiled two eggs for you today, it is under the bottom of the rice pot, don't forget to take it out when you drink porridge, mother and you Brother went to the field to break the corn, Ning Chen also went with him, you and your father will watch at home!" After finishing speaking, he went out with a basket on his shoulders, Su Banxi only realized after a while, but unexpectedly Mrs. Zhao no longer knew where she had gone.

Su Shi didn't hear it because he was far away, but lowered his head and was still wearing the lotus lantern. Su Banxi stretched his waist and regained his energy before going to the well to wash his face with cold water. Shocked by the cold well water, he finally dozed off. He also woke up, and after washing his face in a bun, he went to the kitchen to eat lotus leaf porridge and peeled eggs. In the past, when the family was in trouble, Mrs. Zhao always liked to cook corn paste and add an egg to Su Banxi. Even Su Wen didn't have one, and now there is no need to worry about delicious food at home, and Mrs. Zhao still kept this habit.

After drinking the porridge and eating the eggs, Su Banxi finally regained strength. First, she went to look through all the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the yard, and then noticed that there were many white chrysanthemums in the yard. She blinked her eyes and looked up at Su. Shi asked, "Father, who picked the extra chrysanthemums?" Although she also wanted to dry the chrysanthemums to make tea, but because she was busy picking lotus leaves and lotus flowers just after she came back, she wasted a lot of time and energy. She temporarily put this idea behind her, but she never thought that she would be a little happy to find so many chrysanthemums when she woke up today, so that when the new store opens, customers will be able to send lotus leaf tea bags or chrysanthemums when they spend as much as they spend. The tea bags are gone.

Hearing this, Su Shi looked up and then lowered his head and replied, "Oh, you said those white chrysanthemums. I heard from your mother that they were picked by Xiaochen early in the morning, cleaned and dried." There is no such person as Ning Chen, so this year's lotus lanterns and sky lanterns have to be tied up a few more. As for the affairs of Su Lin's family, he has nothing to do with him.

Su Banxi nunuzui swallowed the words on her lips, so many chrysanthemums, it seems that Ning Chen got up early today, it seems that Wang Cuifangsheng brought him a lot of pressure yesterday, it is obviously my parents' fault The enemy can't avenge his parents immediately, Su Banxi knows the pain and pain in Ning Chen's heart, but he has a headache and doesn't know how to help Ning Chen, that's all, let him be tired at night so he doesn't have to think about so many bad things.

"Father, do you think there are many honeycombs in the deep mountains?" Su Banxi walked up to Su Shi and said, then picked up a lotus lantern on the ground and looked around, tsk tsk, this handmade lotus lantern is more beautiful than the real ones There are many, and the exquisiteness everywhere is incomparable to the lotus lanterns made with high technology in this world. I just don’t know if it will be more beautiful than it is now after pasting paper.

"There is everything in the deep mountains. Why do you ask this? Let me tell you, Xiaoxi. This time, you can't sneak into the deep mountains by yourself. Last time you ran like that, your mother almost scared you." Fainted out, and let Xiao Chen follow you everywhere, you better let people save some time!" Su Shi raised his head and looked at the smiling Su Banxi seriously as soon as he heard Su Banxi talking about the mountains, and said worriedly.

Su Banxi smiled indifferently: "Father, where are you thinking? This time, Chenchen and I came back to find honey and various ingredients in the deep mountains. How could it be that I went to the deep mountains alone!"

"Honey, those bees are not easy to mess with, and you don't have the experience of digging honeycombs, so don't provoke those piercing bees." Su Shi's subordinates kept moving and said to Su Banxi: "If you don't need it urgently, Just after the Yulan Festival, Dad will go dig out the beehives with you. During this time, you need to find any ingredients and medicinal materials, but you are not allowed to dig out the beehives alone. If you are stung by those bees, don’t cry! "

In the past when Su Banxi was young, they were busy farming and had no time to take the little soft Su Banxi with them, so Su Wen took him around to play, but they never thought that Su Wen, the Liu brothers and the child Ruishu would also I don't know where they found a beehive, so the children found a long bamboo pole to poke it, which annoyed the bees inside. Su Wen and the others ran fast, but Su Banxi's small body was too small to be dragged away He tripped over a stone and was stung several times on the face and hands by bees, and cried all day and all night.

And the place where the bee stings was red, swollen and itchy, Xiao Su Banxi always cried and wanted to scratch with her hands, Su Wen was beaten for this, and in the end it was Xiao Su Banxi who cried and begged Su Wen, blink of an eye , The children are all grown up, but the other child is gone. Occasionally, I feel sad when I think about it.

"Well, well, after the Yulan Festival, Dad, you will take us to dig out the beehives." Su Banxi put the lotus lantern back to its original place and smiled with her hands on her chin, as if she couldn't see Su Shi's melancholy eyes. Said: "However, Dad, we may need a lot of honey this time, see if you can find more, and autumn is coming soon, there will definitely be a lot of mature ingredients and medicinal materials in the deep mountains, when the time comes, Dad You have to work with us again, although your legs have recovered almost, but the walking time should not be too long."

Su Shi smiled and said: "You girl, you don't even look at who your father is. How much honey do you want? There are plenty of them in the deep mountains, but some terrains are too dangerous to get honey. Otherwise, let's settle down There are almost all beehives in the mountains and forests around here, it's just a little effort, and it's not a big deal. My leg is almost healed, so you don't have to worry about it. Dad has his own sense of proportion. No matter what, Dad promised to kill rabbits for you to eat, so this leg must be well-bred."

Seeing Su Shi always remembered her words, Su Banxi smiled like a flower, "Then thank you dad first, when the summer is completely over, our family will start to push the house to rebuild, it must be beautifully built, and the yard is covered with pavement. The green bricks are more expensive, but you must live comfortably, otherwise I dare not go out every time it rains, because the mud sticks to the soles of my shoes when I step on it, and I am wobbly when I walk.”

Su Banxi made an exaggerated gesture to amused Su Shi, "Sometimes you girl has a lot of evil ideas, okay, you earned the money, even if you want to repair the house exactly like the one in Yuning Town, dad won't stop you It's all over!" After all, Su Shi loves Su Banxi more than Zhao Shi, even if she wants to tear down the old house and rebuild it, he will let her do it, not just because she earned the money, but because of what she has in her heart. How could he refuse an unspoken heart!
That being the case, it is better to accept it with a smile.

Because Su Banxi still wanted to dig a cellar underground to store fresh food in winter when rebuilding the house, Su Shi was very moved when he heard it, and immediately discussed with Su Banxi under the pagoda tree, and the laughter spread far away !
