The young commander's little petite girl got mad at 70

poor family.

She can bow down to five buckets of rice.

Miao Yinhua also felt that Meng Wantang didn't look down on their little things.

Now he said happily: "Then come quickly. We are going to plant Chinese cabbage. These vegetables must be eaten early. No one in our family likes to eat them. We have these things every day."

Meng Wantang followed to Miao Yinhua's house.

There are a lot of vegetables in Miao Yinhua's vegetable garden, including bitter melons. Bitter melons are small in size and as big as a palm, and some of them are red.

"This thing is a leprosy melon. I brought the seeds from my mother's family. Look at this seedling. It has produced a lot of leprous melons. No one in our family likes to eat this and they despise the bitterness. If you want to eat it, I will give it to you. How many will you pick?”

"Okay, give me some more seeds and I will plant some next year." Meng Wantang did not refuse.

"Then wait a minute and I'll get a basket."

Miao Yinhua came under the window with a basket and picked a few skinny melons for her, and also picked several good cucumbers.

"Let me pick some kidney beans for you. These kidney beans have no strings, are still tender, and are especially delicious." Miao Yinhua picked a large basket, "You can get a lot of kidney beans on one seedling."

Meng Wantang discovered that this was still the case.

"Are these beans so tall? No need to put up a frame?" Meng Wantang thought that beans were all climbing frames.

"I don't want to climb the frame. The one that climbs the frame is over there. That bean has more shreds. The main thing is to grow up and eat that bean. Our family has purple beans. If you want to eat mung beans, I will go to my mother-in-law's house to pick some for you. ." Miao Yinhua was extremely enthusiastic, mainly because she felt uneasy about owing others and always wanted to pay back some money from other places.

"No, just give me some seeds when the time comes, and I'll go back and plant them myself."

Meng Wantang had already decided not to ask Miao Yinhua for the money for the two decoctions.

Miao Yinhua had no money, so if these vegetables could be sold, they would cost almost as much.

"Row."

Miao Yinhua had something at home, so she asked Meng Wantang if she wanted it. Meng Wantang said no, so she also got some.

"I'll pick some of these perilla leaves for you. The cucumber is a bit old. You can put some in it when frying the cucumber slices. The taste will be different from just frying the cucumber slices." Miao Yinhua stroked the cucumber slices in embarrassment. He stroked his hair and said, "I learned this from my grandfather. When I was young, my grandfather helped in a restaurant and secretly watched the chef do this."

Meng Wantang thought it was pretty good. Once when she ordered takeout, she saw that a certain restaurant had the dish of fried cucumbers with perilla.

It’s also a signature dish.

"Really? Then I'll go back and try."

On the day of the market, Meng Wantang also bought suet. She would have to refine the oil later when she went back.

"Okay." Miao Yinhua handed the basket to Meng Wantang: "If there is a shortage of food at home, you can come and get it."

"If anyone in your family has waist or leg pain, come over to my house and get two plasters."

"What?"

Miao Yinhua had never heard such polite words before.

Meng Wantang thinks that taking plasters is quite normal. After all, in modern work, tenosynovitis, frozen shoulder, and back pain caused by long-term sitting, there are few plasters that don't work.

"I plan to make some plasters for Lu Qingye to put on. I will definitely make a lot of them at once. If anyone in your family has a backache or shoulder pain, please come to my house and put the two plasters on them and try them on."

Miao Yinhua understood now and couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.

"Can you also make plasters?"

"Making a plaster is quite simple. In fact, if you have a stomachache, I will also put a plaster on you. However, applying a plaster treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. It can provide temporary relief. If you want to cure it, you have to drink some decoction and treat it well."

Miao Yinhua was the first person who showed kindness to her when she came into this world.

Meng Wantang cherishes this relationship very much.

"Okay, I will not be polite to you."

"Then I'll go back and cook."

Meng Wantang carried the basket home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw three little guys coming back.

Goudan and Gou Sheng were wearing old clothes. Xiaopang squatted between the two brothers, waiting for his brother to wash his hands.

Children in rural areas run outside all day long, and adults don't have time to take care of them.

The younger children's faces are all stained.

Not to mention clothes, some children never wash their clothes once from the time they put them on until they are no longer wearable.

The dog's eggs and dog's leftover clothes are also dirty, but compared with other children, they are much cleaner. Their faces are also cleaner than other children, and they are also very sensible.

"What do you want for lunch?"

Meng Wantang walked to the edge of the well and asked the three children.

Gou Sheng saw the skinny melon in the basket and said, "What are you doing with this thing? You can't eat this, it's bitter."

Meng Wantang: "..."

Lebanese melon is bitter gourd.

This stuff has very high nutritional value.

Scrambled eggs and fried meat are all very delicious.

"Don't like it? Come on, I'll have scrambled eggs with melon and melon for lunch today." Meng Wantang squatted down and started washing vegetables, and even ordered Gou Sheng to say, "Go and get a clean basin for Mom."

"understood."

Gou Sheng was quite obedient and got up and went into the house to get a basin.

After Goudan washed Xiaopang's face, he asked Xiaopang to go play by himself. He planned to help Meng Wantang wash the vegetables.

Meng Wantang reached out to stop the little guy: "Did you and your brother go weeding today?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I don't need you here. You guys go play in the house and wait for dinner later." Meng Wantang wanted to buy some milk, but now let alone milk, even the cows were nowhere to be seen.

Malted milk powder is not on the market now, it will have to wait two years.

There is milk powder for children in department stores, but it is very expensive and not easy to buy.

Meng Wantang planned to take time to go to town to see if there were toffees in the department stores.

She first bought some toffee for the children to eat. Then I asked someone to ask if I could contact my educated youth friends in Meng City and get some milk tablets back.

It’s only 1976.

It will take another four or five years before we can confidently and boldly do business and make money. Before that, they could only work in the fields to earn work points, or use other methods to exchange more eggs with those wealthy families.

When Meng Wantang was in college, his roommate ate eggs every day. A bag of milk and an egg in the morning. If you're hungry and don't want to eat anything else, just keep eating eggs.

My roommate said that their family's financial situation is not as good as that of other classmates with better family conditions, so they can drink milk and eat eggs freely.

She also said that she was able to get into college all because she liked eating eggs and drinking milk.

Meng Wantang looked at the three children who were as skinny as big-headed people, thinking that milk could not satisfy them, and meat could not be eaten every day, but eggs must be worked hard to achieve freedom.

After she washed the vegetables and went in, Lu Qingye was still lying on the kang, his face not looking good.

"Are you feeling better? Does your back hurt? I'll get you some plaster to put on it tonight, and I'll make some soup for you. It's too late at noon, and I have to go to work. I'll get it for you when I get back in the evening."

Meng Wantang said it so naturally, as if she was such a person herself.

Lu Qingye was stunned for a while. He had seen a different Meng Wantang a long time ago, but he was still shocked by her actions.

"It doesn't hurt."

"Doesn't it really hurt?" Meng Wantang didn't believe it and asked with half-squinted eyes, "Turn over and let me take a look."

"..."

She's so direct.

Although he had experienced it once, Lu Qingye was still not used to it.

"Can't move? Is it serious?" Before Lu Qingye could react, Meng Wantang suddenly said, "You haven't gone to the toilet all morning, right?"

With that said, she came over to press his abdomen.
