My Haughty Adorable Wife Has Arrived

Chapter 24 Growing Vegetables

Zheng Haimei was in a good mood today. She had a meal of meat last night and fried it with chili oil. Their family Zhihong was very happy with the meal and praised her again.

While chatting, we talked about the incident between Su Xiaowan and Zhang Chunxiang. It just so happened that their family Zhihong, also known as Counselor Li, went to have an adjustment yesterday. After listening to his wife’s story, they all agreed that Su This girl Xiaowan is a powerful person, and she must make good friends with the couple who unite the front.

The next day, I finished cleaning up my things at home and was thinking about going to see Su Xiaowan when I heard a very light knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was Su Xiaowan who welcomed her in with a smile.

As soon as Su Xiaowan saw the door open, she said immediately: "Sister-in-law Zheng, good morning, what are you busy with now?"

Zheng Haimei said with a smile: "I haven't been busy with much this early in the morning. I just did some housework and washed some clothes. We official wives have nothing to do every day and we don't have to go to work. We just finished it. I’m thinking of going to your place to ask what you want to plant in your vegetable plot, so we can buy some seeds together.”

When Su Xiaowan heard this, someone happened to be dozing off and someone handed him a pillow and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Zheng, what a coincidence, we want to go together. I just came here, and I don't know which piece of land my family will be allocated, let alone He told me where to buy seeds, and it would save me a lot of trouble if I just go with you.”

After speaking, the two decided to plow the ground together, buy seeds, and plant vegetables.

At this time, many people save their own vegetable seeds. However, for two of us, one is from the city. When we moved here last year, it was almost autumn. The other one is a half-hearted person. When he gets married, his wallet is empty and his seeds are even less.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at a small market organized by farmers not far from the school grounds, and bought some vegetable seeds, such as cucumbers, beans, eggplants, green vegetables, coriander, chives, leeks, Chinese cabbage and squid. There are quite a variety of radish vegetables and so on. These seeds are very cheap. I went to the small market again and found a complete range of vegetable seeds, as well as pork.

However, we only sell them here two days a week. The main reason is that the amount of purchases here is too small and the small market is not big. I finished shopping in a while. I saw someone selling small jars and thought about buying them when I go home at noon.

The two people took the seeds and went to the vegetable field. The area was very small, only fifty square meters for a family. When they arrived, they were dumbfounded. How could they plant? They didn't even have any tools.

Zheng Haimei looked at Su Xiaowan and said, "Brother and sister, I have never grown vegetables before. You have to teach me. I can count on you."

Su Xiaowan was also very embarrassed. There was only a shadow in her memory and she had never practiced. However, she still had to bite the bullet and said: "Look at my memory. We have to plow the ground before we can plant it. Sister-in-law Zheng, you Do you have a shovel at home?”

Zheng Haimei didn't understand either, but she saw in a blink of an eye that Wang Hong, who was not far away from them, belonged to Deputy Wei Zhang's family, so the two of them went over to say hello warmly.

Wang Hong was very nervous when she saw Zheng Haimei and the others coming over. She knew Zheng Haimei, but she had never seen the pretty girl next to her. She guessed that she might be Xiaowei Han's sister-in-law that everyone had been talking about these two days.

When I got closer, I saw Wang Hong, who was a little skinny, not too tall, and had a yellowish face. He was standing there timidly. He was a little nervous when we came over. A little boy of three or four years old was sitting next to him. Playing in the vegetable patch.

Zheng Haimei frowned when she saw Wang Hong like this, but she quickly said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, you are busy. I see that you have almost finished plowing this land. You are really neat at work. Let me introduce it to you." , This is Su Xiaowan, from Xiaowei Han’s family.”

Then he introduced to Su Xiaowan: "This is Wang Hong, sister-in-law Wang, from Deputy Wei Zhang's family. She lives in the same building as us and lives on the fourth floor."

Su Xiaowan greeted her warmly: "Hello, Sister-in-law Wang, we just bought some seeds from the small market and took a look at the vegetable field. You were very fast, and you plowed the ground in no time."

Wang Hong said a little shyly: "Oh, I started plowing early. I just wanted to plant it early so that I could have a bite early. The vegetable seedlings at home are almost ready and starting to grow teeth."

When Su Xiaowan heard that this kind of vegetables requires growing seedlings first, she forgot all about it. Later, Zheng Haimei and Su Xiaowan both sincerely asked for advice on vegetable planting techniques. Wang Hong, from being nervous at the beginning, to what she said later It was quite smooth. After the two of them learned the knowledge about growing vegetables, they said goodbye and went home to prepare tools for plowing the ground.

But on the way, Su Xiaowan said goodbye to Zheng Haimei, went to the small market alone, and bought that small jar, which was 30cm high and 10cm in diameter. It was not bad. It cost 3 yuan, and I was heartbroken.

I bought some more chili powder and three Chinese cabbages. Most of the Chinese cabbages at this time were stored by others last winter. The outer leaves are a bit withered, but it doesn’t matter. They taste good. I also bought some leeks. This is the first crop of leeks and they are not very high yet.

I searched around the market and couldn't find any fruits. Well, in this season and in this era, fruits are rare.

I took these and went home, changed my shoes, put everything in the kitchen, and arranged them well. When I came out, I found that the shoes were too inconvenient to wear, so I picked up the scissors and cut up the worn-out shoes. It looks like slippers.

Although it doesn’t look good, it’s easy to wear and I’m quite satisfied with it, so I’ll leave it like that for now.

When I got to the kitchen, I processed the big bones I bought yesterday, made some bone soup, and steamed some rice. She is growing taller now, so she needs to keep up with her nutrition. The bone soup supplements calcium and has many nutrients. , it’s best for her now. Although she is 18 years old, she can still grow taller, but she has to work hard just for those few centimeters.

After lunch, I rested for a while, took a nap, and started working again after waking up. I changed the water of the soybeans soaked yesterday and continued soaking them. After that, I packed up the new small jar I bought today, washed it, and drained it.

Peel off the withered yellow coat of the cabbage you bought, wash it, cut it in half with one knife, and then add another cut to each half. In this way, a Chinese cabbage is broken down into four small parts. A total of two cabbages are cut into pieces. Open eight small portions, rub the leaves of each portion evenly with salt little by little, and marinate them in a jar for a day.

After all this work, my waist and back hurt. This season is really lean, so I have to make some pickles.

Well, I am able to do this thanks to being a good wife and mother in my previous life, because I was busy a lot of the time, but I still remember what my mother once said, to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. Later, It's also because I like to eat, and because I don't have time to spend with Yuan Kai, I went to a special chef class and learned good cooking skills. When I spend the most time at home, I just cook.

Therefore, it is not difficult for her to make these home-cooked dishes. By the time I finished all this work, it was already past 3 p.m., and my vegetable seeds hadn't been planted yet. Although I had followed Wang Hong's guidance, I was still afraid that I wouldn't be able to control it well. I saw that her land was almost finished plowing today. This point should come back, it's better to humbly ask for advice, otherwise the seeds will be damaged and it will be in vain.
