Chapter 118: Share? Or take it home
Zhou Qian'an is gone.
He Jing looked at the yellow peels in the bamboo basket. There weren't many, so she picked them up and said, "Try them."
"No, no." Jiang Xiaomi still waved her hand politely, "This is for you."
“We don’t eat well.”
Xu Xiaoxiao also nodded, "Yes, and the number is not that large."
"Take it back, uncle, aunt, and Jinbao. Share it with them. There won't be much left."
It would be bad if these yellow-skinned fruits were shared by only three of them.
Zhou Qian'an gave it specifically to He Jing.
Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao don't have the guts to ask for it.
"What's good or bad?" He Jing directly gave them a small bunch, "I'll take it over later and share it among people."
"Since we still have some time to go, let's eat the delicious ones first and share the rest." He Jing didn't want to carry such a large basket of kumquats over, so she just left it there and didn't share any with anyone.
Besides, it would be quite a distance to take it home directly, and there would be no need to rush back.
In addition, you can also improve Zhou Qian'an's favor in front of the villagers.
From what Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao said just now and the looks on their faces, I can tell that they are afraid of Zhou Qian'an.
But Zhou Qian'an is not a bad person. Maybe he is just afraid because the incident of killing the wild boar was too vivid in his memory.
"Are these distributed among people?" Xu Xiaoxiao was shocked. "Jingjing, I think it's better to forget it. Take it back quickly and run back."
“That’s certainly enough time.”
Jiang Xiaohong nodded, "Yes, kumquat, it can dispel phlegm and dampness, it's very good."
"You share it with everyone, but some people don't even remember your kindness." Jiang Xiaohong heard from her mother that Zhou Cuihong, who lived next door to the He family, couldn't stand seeing others doing well, and would always go to make trouble no matter what they did.
"Besides, if everyone wants to eat, they will definitely ask the children to go to the mountains to find it." Jiang Xiaohong pulled her back, "Also, if you have food and others don't have it, you can share a little with them."
"People think you're stingy."
Xu Xiaoxiao has experience in this regard. "My father found a large area of mushrooms in the mountains. He picked up a few and ran down the mountain, telling the villagers to go together."
"As a result, other people discovered them along the way and picked quite a lot. By the time we got there, there wasn't much left."
"They blamed my dad for not guarding this place. They also said he could just pick them all and bring them back to the village to share. Why did they insist on having everyone come?"
“I didn’t find any mushrooms and I wasted my time.”
Xu Xiaoxiao spoke very convincingly.
He Jing couldn't resist and went back with them.
Coincidentally, I met Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi on the way back.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." He Jing greeted.
Liao Hongmei nodded and asked, "Why did you come back?" Then her eyes fell on He Jing's hand, "What did you get?"
Jiang Xiaomi took the initiative and said, "Sister-in-law, Zhou Qi'an gave Jingjing some yellow peel fruit, and we asked Jingjing to take it back."
"Yellow-skinned fruit?" Xu Zhaodi immediately stepped forward and looked down. There were not many, and they were not big either, but small enough to fill half a basket, which was pretty good.
"Qi'an is caring about you more and more." Seeing that He Jing was losing weight, he went to the river to catch fish and went into the mountains to catch game. As long as it was edible, he would send it to her.
Xu Zhaodi did not have such treatment back then. Seeing it now, I am really envious and feel happy for her.
"Have you eaten?" Liao Hongmei asked.
"We ate it, and Jingjing shared it with us." Xu Xiaoxiao explained immediately.
"Yes, it's very sweet." Jiang Xiaohong nodded hurriedly, "Don't look at its small size, it's really sweet."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and took some more out of the basket and gave them to the two of them and He Jing. "I'll put it back, you guys continue playing."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law." He Jing agreed.
Xu Zhaodi waved her hand, "Why are you being polite?"
"Let's go, both of us will go back." Liao Hongmei said.
He Jing and her group of three watched the two of them go back, and it took them a while before they turned around and went back.
"Jingjing, your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are so nice." Jiang Xiaohong began to envy again, "My sister-in-law is not that nice."
"They are very nice." He Jing looked back, then thought of something and asked, "Are there many fruit trees in the mountains?"
"Not really." Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Some of them grew from the fruit pits that were thrown away after they were brought in during the Qingming Festival to worship their ancestors."
"I haven't seen many of them," Jiang Xiaohong said, "but the ones that do are very small."
"It seems there are wild grapes, but they are too sour. At first, some people went to pick them, but no one cared because they couldn't eat them. I don't know if they are still available now." Xu Xiaoxiao thought of something and pointed her index finger at her chin. "My mom picked some and brought them back. They were too sour."
"Eating one will make your teeth sore that they'll fall out." Thinking about it now, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver all over.
"Why are you asking this?" Now that we've had enough jokes, it's time to get down to business.
Jiang Xiaohong looked at her, "What do you want to do?"
He Jing is really good at making delicious sour beans and pickled eggs.
Her mother came back yesterday and said she wanted to save a few eggs and try to make pickled eggs. If she succeeds, the family can have more dishes instead of just the same two every day.
Jiang Xiaohong is still very much looking forward to it.
"Wine, right?" He Jing remembered something when she heard that sour thing, and couldn't help laughing. Then she told them, "In foreign countries, there is also special wine for girls."
Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao were very interested after listening to this. They each held one of He Jing's arms and talked as they walked.
When they found out that the girl's wine was meant to be stepped on barefoot by the girl, their faces and brows were all tightly furrowed, and they didn't know what to say at all.
He Jing also said, "In our country, some people also make sauerkraut barefoot for convenience."
Instantly, both of them vomited.
He Jing laughed, her voice was clear and hearty, like a silver bell.
-
He Jing knew that there were wild grapes in the mountains, and she had been thinking about them. In the afternoon, after dinner, looking at the sky and seeing that it would not rain, she waited for Zhou Qi'an to come.
"Let's go into the mountains and look for wild grapes." This is the first thing He Jing said when she saw Zhou Qian'an, "I want to make wine."
"There are also yellow peel fruits. I want to pickle some so that I can eat some if I have a cough in the future."
When Zhou Qi'an arrived, he was quite surprised not to see any clothes in her basket, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"
In the past, He Jing couldn't stand being sticky.
Zhou Qian'an knew very well that he had already prepared a large water tank at home.
Chen Fanglan also asked what happened.
Zhou Qian said that there was not enough water in the water tank at home.
Chen Fanglan had no doubts.
"No." He Jing shook her head. "My mother said that if I marry into your family, your mother will dislike me."
He Jing answered truthfully, "Besides, I can't be too special in the village."
Attracting attention will bring you trouble.
Be low-key if you can.
