Chapter 38

Shen Qing looks at the two branches full of okra. She thinks they should be wild, and the local people should not know them. Otherwise, they won't wait until late autumn, and the branches are still full of fruit, which will be picked early in the morning.

Put down the basket, with the only light before sunset, Shen Qing quickly picked the okra on the branches.

Fortunately, it was found in time. If you see it again after a while, these okra will be lignified when they are fully cooked, so they can't be eaten. It's just right now. It's green all over, with rough skin and some fluff. After picking all the okra, Shen Qing's hands itched and hurt.

After loading the basket, I quickly went back to the new house. Take out the little firewood left from the firewood room and light the stove. There is a small well in the corner of the courtyard by the kitchen. Shen Qing pumped some well water. It was cold, but fortunately it was clear. Brush the pot, add water, do a pot of millet mixed with rice porridge. Okra fried eggs is the best to eat and most nutritious, but now there are no eggs and no oil, so we can only wash and slice okra and cook it with porridge.

Thinking about the stone, Shen Qing withdrew some firewood from the boiling water to make the fire smaller. He slowly cooked the porridge in the pot, got up, wiped his hands and walked out.

It's completely dark now, but fortunately there are many small restaurants and taverns around, and their lights can also give a general picture of their yard, so that they won't be too dark to see.

Lock the door, almost run, arrived at the drugstore, the stone injury has been dealt with, shoulder with bamboo board, left forearm tied a belt hanging on the neck, in order to prevent arm shaking hurt the shoulder again.

Take the medicine, pay the silver, thanks, Shen Qing holding the stone slowly back.

Zhenxi town is very open at night. With the chill of night, Shen Qing can't help shivering. Holding the stone hand, his little hand is cool.

"Stone, my sister cooked you hot porridge. It's a hundred days since you've hurt your muscles and bones. These days you'll lie down at home and don't move. If the bone is wrong, you won't be able to get a daughter-in-law in the future. " Shen Qing teases the stone.

Stone is in a bad mood. The reason is that he got hurt and went to see a doctor and spent a couple of silver in vain. That's one or two. It's a thousand Wen. It hurts to think about it. Looking at my sister joking and making myself happy, she blushed and whispered, "what does my sister say? How old am I? If I want to ask for a daughter-in-law, I have to wait for my sister to get married."

Shen Qing saw that the stone could bring herself back again. She felt a little relieved and said with a smile, "my elder sister has never thought of getting married in her life. I just want to live in peace, do some business and earn some money. I don't have to look at anyone's face, or listen to anyone's orders and be angry with anyone.

This is not the case with all the novels and TV dramas that I read in my previous life. Once a woman marries someone, she has to teach her husband and children and live by watching her husband's face every day. When her daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law for thousands of years, she will tell her daughter-in-law the same way that her mother-in-law treats herself. If there is a strong mother-in-law family, perhaps the mother-in-law family will treat her daughter-in-law better in the face of her mother-in-law family. But if you are like yourself, your parents are gone, and you don't love them, you can't be bullied to death by your mother-in-law's family. And men have some money will look for flowers, three wives and four concubines. As a new civilized country, Shen Qing believes that marriage is the sublimation of love, not the grave. Those dregs of the old society, who love who want, anyway, she can be single life will never accept.

Stone listen to elder sister said not to marry, gently smile, said: "elder sister really don't know shame, how to marry not to marry on the mouth.". But a woman's ultimate goal is to get married. Although she says so now, she will not think so in the future. "

Shen Qing is speechless. It seems that her younger brother is also a small antique. In the future, she must teach him well. Even if she can't see everything in the world like modern people, she must have a correct view of love. Later, when the stone grows up, it must not have three wives and four concubines like the people here. If you can't respect each other and treat each other equally, don't harm other's daughters and marry them.

Then they arrived at the new house. Passing through the front lobby, I smell the cooked rice as soon as I enter the backyard. Stone for a long time did not smell such a delicious meal, the stomach uncontrollably ring a few times. Stone embarrassed smile, also ignore other, quickly walk to the kitchen.

The kitchen was dark, only the weak flame in the fire hole under the stove was beating, which made the small world in front of the stove red. On the stove, there is a black round shadow, which is a pot. There was white smoke above, dancing with the night wind blowing through the window.

Shen Qing remembered seeing a half burnt candle in the daytime, but she couldn't remember where to put it. It's so dark all around that you can't really see anything.

Exit the kitchen and see a lantern hanging under the eaves. Shen Qing took down the lantern, took it into the room, and lit the candle in the lantern with a burning firewood. It was very bright all around.

Gently put the lantern on the cooking table. Shen Qing took the two wooden lanterns at the door and put them next to the table. She said to the stone, "it's dark in the room. Let's eat in the kitchen today. It's warm here."

For stone, even the kitchen is much better than the home it used to be. The roof doesn't leak, the air around doesn't leak, and it can be baked on fire, and it can eat hot food.Shen Qing gives the rice porridge to the stone. Regardless of the heat, after two drinks, the stone seems to have eaten something slippery and sticky. Some of them are like cucumbers, but they are not. They are harder and more delicious than cucumbers.

"Sister, what else is in this porridge?" Stone ate two mouthfuls, I'm sure I haven't eaten before, but it tastes good.

"Sister's new discovery is called croissant, or okra. It is very nutritious, and it also has a tonic effect on the injured. Have you heard of it before? " Shen Qing wants to know whether the people here know such things or not. This kind of vegetable was discovered only in my previous life when I was about 20 years old. It was not recognized by most people before.

"Croissants? Okra? I've never heard of it. I've only heard of beans and sunflowers, but they're two kinds of things, and I've eaten them all before. It's not that kind of taste. " Stone drank porridge again, slant a head to recall seriously, gave Shen Qing such an answer finally.

Well, Shen Qing is sure that people here don't know about this kind of thing.

As soon as they finished their meal, they heard a knock outside the door. Because there is a big hall, I can't really hear it. Stone was the first to respond and asked, "sister, is this knocking on our door? Can it be that Xiufang has sent quilts? "
