Chapter 085: [You promise to be a fart](1/2)
If she couldn't figure it out, she didn't bother to go to the place where she planted ginseng.
Xu Ning has never been exposed to ginseng, and I don’t know how it is a standard for harvesting. However, seeing more than a dozen ginseng plants in front of him, it should be that there is no big problem, right?
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely felt that the little purple air seemed to float on it.
She had consulted Grandpa Yao before and asked how to dig ginseng. Grandpa Yao told her a lot, but it was very troublesome.
You cannot break any ginseng, you need to dig them out. Fortunately, Xu Ning used to plant it, the spacing between them was quite large, otherwise it would be troublesome to dig ginseng now.
When I heard Grandpa Yao say it, Xu Ning thought that it was just a little more careful, but when she really got it herself, she realized that it was more than just to be careful, and it was simply tormenting.
Just by pulling the black soil on it, she felt that she had no idea how to start, and even if she wanted to be careful, she didn't know how to be careful.
Squatting on the ground and looking at the ginseng in front of her, she came out of it for more than half an hour later and closed her eyes and went to bed helplessly.
Early the next morning, Qin Xuejuan saw her daughter's expression, "Didn't you have a good rest last night?"
"No!" Xu Ning shook his head and told her what happened last night.
Qin Xuejuan wanted to help, but she knew that she couldn't help at all. Instead, Xu Jianjun asked Xu Ning to go to Lao Yao to learn more.
This is ginseng, not a weed in the mountains. If you break it a little, it will be greatly reduced. Of course, it will be fine.
Xu Ning nodded, there was no other way, so he could only do this.
At this time, more than a month before their final exams were taken. Their family started a coal stove last month, which was placed in the corner of the door of the main hall. Qin Xuejuan and the old lady sat around the coal stove to do housework and handicrafts every day. As for the kang, they were not connected to the stove. Every winter, their family had three earthen kangs, and only the old lady's earthen kang was connected to the coal stove. Xu Ning and his parents put a hot water bag in the quilt at night.
The parents in the next room can be warmed by sleeping together at night, but it has been a bit painful. The insulation effect of the water bottle is actually not good, at most two or three hours. Although it is still a little warm in the morning, it is just a little warm.
When Lao Yao was at home, she learned that Xu Ning wanted to focus on learning how to dig ginseng, Lao Yao did not refuse and recounted it carefully with her again.
The old man said it twice before drinking a sip of water to moisten his throat. "We don't have ginseng here, usually in the northeast. Of course, there are also foreign ginseng. Which one is better, this is not accurate in just a few words."
Xu Ning passed the words of Grandpa Yao in his mind several times, and felt a little confident in his heart, "Grandpa Yao, you know so much."
"I heard from my elders when I was a child. I don't have the blessing to dig a ginseng. However, when Grandpa Yao was young, there was a ginseng at home. Later, it was snatched by a bad person, and even the family had two lives." After that, he sighed and looked at Xu Ning, "Have you read all the compendium materia medicinal herbs I gave you?"
"I read it halfway, and today there are several places where Grandpa Yao teaches me." Xu Ning took out the thick compendium of Materia Medica from his schoolbag, turned on a certain page, lowered his head and asked the old man for advice.
When Lao Yao heard Xu Ning’s question, he patiently answered it to her. When the little girl encountered something she didn’t understand, she would ask repeatedly, and then extend the question to the extent that she would never pretend to understand.
This learning attitude made Lao Yao very pleased, "You are much smarter than when I was a child. At that time, my grandfather was not willing to learn this thing, but my father always carried me to read books on this aspect."
Xu Ning was quite curious about the old man’s past, “Is Grandpa Yao’s father also a doctor?”
"Yes." The old man looked outside, "Grandpa's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and his ancestors have been imperial doctors in the palace since the Kangxi period."
Xu Ning was startled by this sentence, "Imperial Doctor?"
The old man came to his senses and saw Xu Ning's surprised expression. He also knew that he couldn't stop talking just now. After all, he hadn't chatted with anyone like this for many years. Although Xu Ning was still a child, Uncle Yao liked this little girl who was well-behaved, kind and serious in learning attitude.
In addition, this girl comes to her side every week, making Uncle Yao feel like he has a granddaughter around him and can also say more.
"Scared?" Old Uncle Yao had a smile of enlightenment on his face, which was very kind, but seemed to have a bit of naughty and teasing.
Xu Ning pursed her lips. She always felt that the old man suddenly turned into an old naughty boy, quite cute.
"A little bit." Xu Ning nodded, "Grandpa Yao's family is really amazing."
"What are the most powerful things? It's not easy to stay in that kind of place. If you accidentally accidentally, you will even have your life in it." Lao Yao said a little disagree. "It's probably the only one who lives the most comfortable life from top to bottom. You stay in this small mountain village at sunrise and sunset. If you have patients, you will see a doctor. If you have no patients, you will take care of flowers, herbs and medicinal materials. It's comfortable."
Xu Ning didn't dare to ask if it was really comfortable. She was afraid that the old man would feel sad when he thought of his son.
"The medicinal foods you see are almost all accumulated from our family for generations. Many of them are eaten by the palace ladies on weekdays, but some of them are not very useful now. Many of the precious medicinal materials are difficult to find. Even if you can find them, it is very expensive."
The more Xu Ning listened, the more he felt that he really made a profit. Although it cannot be said that the medicinal foods in it are all top-notch, at least they will not be bad. There were medicinal foodists in later generations, and they were all researched from the experience of their predecessors, coupled with the scientific comparison and continuous attempts of later generations. With the medicinal food records that she has read now, at least she can avoid many detours.
"Grandpa Yao, is there any prescription for postpartum weight loss here?" Xu Ning thought of her mother, who had eaten well since she became pregnant and had a round body. Although she could only be called a little plump, she also wanted to wait until her mother was confinement and let her recover her figure as soon as possible.
Uncle Lao Yao laughed, "There must be some of this, and there are quite a few."
The two of them chatted back and forth here, it was so lively.
In a blink of an eye, the first winter snow in 1982 came, falling down, and it covered the entire Xiangshan Village in half a day. Standing at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance, it seemed that the entire earth was covered with silver, which looked very beautiful.
"Is this Xu Jianjun's family?" A young man's voice floated in.
After hearing this, the old lady pressed her wife who wanted to get up and go out, and walked to the door with her little feet and stepped on the snowflakes. She saw that the other party was a young man from the post office.
"It's Xu Jianjun's family." The old lady nodded.
"This is a letter from the Magic City, please hold it." The little postman handed the letter to the old lady, straightened her hat, and pushed the bicycle away with snowflakes.
The old lady came back with a letter and reached out to Qin Xuejuan, "It said that she came from the Demon City."
Qin Xuejuan took it and saw that it was written by Xu Jianjun and Qin Xuejuan, indicating that the letter was given to her.
Tear open the envelope, pull out the letter paper inside, and the first line after spreading it out is the word "aunt".
Only then did she realize that the letter was written by Qin Zhao.
The letter asked about her physical condition and life, and also talked about the Qin family. Of course, there was no topic that made Qin Xuejuan not angry with the Qin family, which showed that Qin Zhao was a gentle and understanding person.
The letter also said that he bought a lot of things and had asked someone to help bring them. The specific day he arrived depends on the weather along the way. At the end of the letter, he said that he would come here to have fun during the summer vacation. The whole article was just some words similar to daily life, and nothing important.
But even so, Qin Xuejuan felt very happy. She could not forget what her parents had done to her, so she had never called the Qin family when she came back from the Demon City. However, if she didn't contact her, she would still be worried about what her parents could not do. Now Qin Zhao is willing to take on the responsibility and maintain this relationship with Qin Xuejuan. How could she be unhappy?
The old lady didn't ask about the content of the letter, but Qin Xuejuan didn't intend to hide it from her mother-in-law.
She told her mother-in-law that her nephew bought a lot of things from the Demon City and asked someone to bring them over. Although the old lady didn't like the Qin family, she didn't say anything that embarrassed her daughter-in-law.
"That child is a sensible person, but we don't lack anything here. It's not easy to bring things from the Demon City from a thousand miles away."
"Yes." Qin Xuejuan nodded, "Azhao asked someone to find a transportation convoy, which was specially for our provincial capital. When we arrived at the provincial capital, the other party would send the things to our bus. Then, let Jianjun guard the station. It would be a little troublesome, and it was the wish of the younger generation."
"Azhao also said that the school is on summer vacation in the year, so I will come here to play for a while."
The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The in-laws were not good, and she wouldn't think that there was no good person in the Qin family. After all, it was a family, and it was broken bones and tendons. If the old was not good, there was no way to do it. Just be sensible if the young were sensible.
"Come on, let Ningning sleep with me then."
"Thank you mom." Qin Xuejuan narrowed her eyes happily.
As school was about to end, the snow stopped at first.
Xu Ning walked out of the classroom, closed her collar, and felt a strong cold wind blowing. She turned around and carried the cold wind behind her.
Found that Xie Zheng had not come here yet, she raised her foot and walked to the corner where Xie Zheng must pass in front of her. Standing here could cover the cold wind. If she hadn't been cleaning the classroom at this time, she would have stayed in the classroom and waited.
School has already ended in the high school department. At this time, many senior students passed by here in groups of three or three. When they saw Xu Ning wearing a light gray tweed jacket, they knew that the little girl was waiting for Xie Zheng.
"Xu Ning, Xie Zheng is cleaning in the classroom. You might as well go to Class 1 to find him." Zhou Caiping was talking to Xu Ning, "It's so cold to stand outside."
"Thank you." Xu Ning thanked the other party with a smile and raised his foot to the high school. No wonder Xie Zheng hadn't come yet.
When passing by the playground, Xu Ning was stopped by two people.
Looking up at the two people in front of her, her face turned slightly cold, "Is there anything wrong?"
During the sports meet, Xu Ning ignored the woman scolded her in person, but if she got into trouble, Xu Ning thought that her temper was actually very bad. Even if she lived a lifetime, her temper would still exist, but she just suppressed her.
"Don't be proud, it's just that Xie Zheng is protecting you, otherwise you will be nothing." Wang Meilin stared at Xu Ning viciously, because Zhou Tao insulted her in person before, causing a friend to part with her, and she felt so frustrated and uncomfortable.
When she saw Xu Ning, she naturally had to find some place to get back, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night.
"So, you like Brother Zheng, and Brother Zheng is nice to me, you don't like me?" Xu Ning curled a sarcasm at the corner of his lips, and looked at her with a caring and mentally retarded look, "Brother Zheng doesn't like you, it's Brother Zheng's problem, but you spread your anger on my head? Shouldn't you find a problem with yourself?"
"What are you talking nonsense? Who told you that I like Xie Zheng?" Wang Meilin retorted loudly. It would be okay not to refute. There were many classmates passing by next to her who were staring at her. They must have heard what Xu Ning said just now.
If it is reported tomorrow, she is interested in Xie Zheng, so she should not go to this learning, so she might as well hide at home and not have to come out.
"No?" Xu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since you weren't asking me for trouble again and again, what do you want to do? I haven't messed with you, and I didn't know you before, can you tell me the reason?"
"Oh, by the way." Xu Ning pretended to be in a daze, "You called me a slutty fox before, and these ugly words came out of a girl's mouth. Tsk tsk, what good thing do you think you are?"
"You..." Wang Meilin had scolded Xu Ning in person in the cottage before, but the other party did not respond at all. She thought this little girl was a weak person.
But who will tell her who is the stinky girl in front of her with sharp teeth and sharp mouth?
Xu Ning raised his hand and pressed down Wang Meilin's finger, "This kind of thing is not just a curse. I don't know what I did to harm you, so it makes you scold me so badly? I have always been with Brother Zheng on weekdays, and you dare to say that you don't like Xie Zheng?"
"You fart, I don't like her. I just see you radiating all day long, and I can't see you." Wang Meilin was frightened by Xu Ning's last words, and her whole body exploded almost in place, and the rebuttal voice became particularly sharp.
"Ha..." Xu Ning sneered, "There are so many people who don't like me. Who are you? Don't look at me if you can't see me. You have low quality and you actually say it's because someone else is forced to do it? Senior sister, your brain is a good thing. Remember to take it with you when you go out. There is no background that is different from ordinary people. Don't make enemies with others casually. It's hard to guarantee that one day you will meet someone you can't mess with." For example, Xie Zheng.
The beautiful eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a soft smile at the next moment, "Just don't look at me in the future."
After saying that, he walked around Wang Meilin with his schoolbag.
Everyone who was watching the show next to him saw the protagonist leave, and the others yelled and parted. At the same time, they were surprised by Xu Ning's combat effectiveness. The swearing was just not swearing dirty words, but every sentence was not very nice without thinking about it. It was many times more intelligent than Wang Meilin's so-called "slutty fox".
I came to the classroom of Class 1, Grade 2, and went in and said hello to Xie Zheng.
Looking at the white and tender girl at the door of the classroom, Xie Zheng reminded: "The front is too rush, you go and stand behind, and this side will be over soon."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Ning walked around the back of the classroom and stood by the window and looked outside.
Thinking about what happened just now, there was a hint of joy on the corner of her lips.
In fact, she would have many words to curse. After all, her background and life experience are there, and she would have the harshest ones to say, but she can't say it now.
I remembered the words before by the two little girls in the hotel.
She doesn't like quarrels like hard work now, but no one can avoid them in life. Moreover, there are nearly 1,500 students in two levels of the school, and frictions are inevitable, and people who like to make trouble can be seen everywhere.
