Chapter 255: Su Wanwan's Vegetable Garden
Feng glared at her daughter and said unhappily:
"Life in Daliushu Village is affluent, and there is still this workshop for you to work in. It is a blessing for your cousin to marry into Daliushu Village, so it is normal for her to be happy."
After Feng said this, she was very happy.
However, she also looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was also a good choice, but unfortunately, the two of them didn’t end up together.
Since it won't work out, and Lin Yi doesn't think highly of Yuanyuan anymore, it's understandable that Yuanyuan tells someone else about it.
Lin Yi, who was standing by, heard them talking about this and turned around and went straight into the workshop.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Yuanyuan anymore.
In the past, I just assumed he was blind.
Feng sighed, and seeing Lin Yi went into the workshop, she pulled Yuanyuan aside and continued to ask:
"Whose youngest son is this? Have you found out? If not, can you go to the village and ask around?"
Although the people in Daliushu Village are all similar, there is no guarantee that everyone has good character, so we still need to ask around.
Zhao Yuanyuan nodded shyly.
"His name is He Xiliang, and he lives to the west of the uncle's house."
She didn't dare say that she knew everything. As long as she asked, she would know the conditions of He Xiliang's family, and her aunt would definitely be satisfied.
She has no parents now, so her aunt is the closest person to her. She is responsible for taking charge of the overall situation for her and can be considered her supporter.
"Okay, I'll go and ask around this afternoon. If she's a good person, she'll be a good match for you. I'll be able to repay your parents if she can marry into Daliushu Village."
Thinking of her dead brother and sister-in-law, Feng choked up a little.
"Thank you, aunt."
Zhao Yuanyuan smiled shyly, she was really a little nervous.
I don't know whether her choice is right or wrong. No matter how good He Xiliang is, he is still a village man. How can he...
Inexplicably, I thought of Mr. Lin, the man who was following the county magistrate. I didn't know his identity.
Feng Xiaorou had never heard of He Xiliang, but she felt it was not worth it to be with that young man.
But all men are like this. They probably just think Zhao Yuanyuan is pretty.
She didn't say much and turned to go to the workshop.
Mrs. Feng looked at her daughter's back and sighed.
Yuanyuan's matter has been settled, and Xiaorou has grown up into a girl, but her stubborn temper makes her very worried.
Feng Xiaorou found Lin Yi and saw him building a stove. She wanted to say a few words of comfort to him, but found that she had no right to do so. Moreover, he looked as if it was none of her business, so it seemed that he did not need comfort.
She also picked up a shovel and cleaned up the dirt in the house.
Su Wanwan has already prepared all the dishes, and the whole yard is filled with fragrance.
Old Mrs. Xu watched from the side. She didn't dare to use unnecessary seasonings. However, ancient ingredients were all natural. For example, the chicken soup was delicious without any seasoning.
Smelling the fragrance, even Old Mrs. Xu, who has lived for most of her life, couldn't help but praise it.
This young wife is really amazing. She can go from the living room to the kitchen. Although she looks delicate and weak, she is very efficient when doing things.
She has also broadened her horizons. She didn't know that there are so many ways to cook a dish.
She walked around the courtyard again and became interested in Shen Yuan's toilet.
The toilet was clean, without any smell, and could flush. There was also a large bathtub next to it, which looked much better than a tub. The water could be automatically drained out, and it was said that there was a pipe underneath that flowed directly into the septic tank.
Thinking of the stinking toilet in the county government office, where no matter how well it was cleaned there was still a stink, Old Lady Xu couldn't help but be tempted.
People come and go in the county government office, and the foul smell is unbearable. If a toilet like this was built, the problem would be solved.
It is said that it was custom-made from a private kiln in Pingyang Town, so it seems I have to get one.
Just as I was thinking this, Xu Huaiyuan and his party had arrived.
After walking around for a long time, someone actually wanted to go to the toilet, and that person was Lin Wenyue.
She was also very curious when she saw the toilet, and her eyes were shining.
This toilet and bathroom immediately became a focus of attention, and Old Mrs. Xu pulled her son aside and said that the county government would also set up the same.
When he heard the price, Xu Huaiyuan refused without thinking twice.
The county government is poor and has no money, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little smelly.
Why make a toilet so luxurious? It won’t be too late to do so when the county government becomes wealthy.
Old Mrs. Xu thought about it and decided to just bear with it for now.
Lin Wenyue didn’t think so. She wanted to bring a set back with her when she returned to the provincial capital this time, so she immediately wrote down the address.
Just when the place was getting busy, Zhao Qinghai arrived late. He had been to Shen Yuan's house before and was used to this toilet. He didn't have any thoughts about it.
He was more interested in the vegetable garden and went straight into it as soon as he arrived.
"Hey, these tomatoes are almost red. Have you picked a few? Can we eat them for lunch today?"
"Have the potatoes been grafted? Why haven't the peppers turned red yet?"
"This piece is an eggplant, right? Why does the fruit look like this? Does it have to turn red before it can be eaten?"
........
As soon as he arrived at the vegetable garden, he was amazed. He used to visit the vegetable garden often, but recently he had been busy with the waterwheel. He hadn't been there for a few days and saw that the garden had changed a lot.
There are so many varieties of vegetables. If we could save their seeds and develop them in the future, not only would the food problem be solved, but the vegetable problem would also be solved.
Zhao Qinghai was very excited.
His chattering voice immediately attracted Xu Huaiyuan and others.
Seeing the lush greenery, Xu Huaiyuan and Lin Wenyue were stunned like bumpkins.
What kind of vegetables are these? I've never seen any other than beans.
“Are these all vegetables?”
Lin Wenyue was astonished. When she arrived at Daliushu Village, she felt that she and Daliushu Village were not living in the same place. Why were there so many things she had never seen before?
Although she was the daughter of a prefect, her family was oppressive and she always lived on a farm for a period of time. She was not a person without vision.
Su Wanwan saw them gathered in the vegetable garden and ran over.
"I found them all in the mountains. They looked edible, so I saved the seeds, but never had the chance to plant them. So when I came to Daliushu Village, I thought about giving it a try. I didn't expect that they all grew."
Su Wanwan didn't blush or get nervous, she even jumped to the vegetable garden and picked a few particularly tender cucumbers.
I was thinking of letting it grow a few more days, it's still too small.
But she was reluctant to pick too many, so she only gave half a piece to each person to taste.
"Hey, why did you pick it? Is this the only cucumber? It should be able to grow longer, right?"
She didn't feel distressed yet, but Zhao Qinghai beside her was extremely distressed. He remembered Mrs. Shen told him that this cucumber could grow quite big.
"It's okay. Guests are here. Let's try them first. They might be gone next time. Sir Zhao, don't worry. I know I need to save the seeds."
Su Wanwan asked Shen Zhao to wash it, and broke off half of it and shared it with everyone.
When I just broke it, I heard a crisp sound. I didn't even have to put it close to my nose to smell a faint unique fragrance in the air, like the sweet scent of grass in spring.
