Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The medicine was sour and bitter. Zhao Yeqing held his nose and almost vomited it when he drank it.

It immediately reminded her of why she resisted learning Chinese herbal medicine from her grandma when she was a child. It was because it tasted too bad. Drinking it once when she was sick occasionally made her want to stay away from this bitter thing for the rest of her life.

After being injured, Zhao Yeqing could only lie down in bed to recuperate. Even if he felt that as long as he didn't move around, it wouldn't hurt much, he didn't dare to get out of bed and walk around too much. After all, after a hundred days of breaking his muscles and bones, there was no professional It's safer to take good care of yourself than to be treated by a doctor.

In the days before Zhao Yeqing lay in bed recovering from his injuries, Mu Xi frequently went out into the mountains to look for medicinal materials, trying his best to find medicinal materials with mild medicinal properties.

Zhao Yeqing joked that he was a barefoot doctor, "This reminds me of my college roommate who went to see a Chinese medicine doctor. The Chinese medicine doctor was half-skilled and didn't dare to treat her randomly but also wanted to make money. He would prescribe Siwu Decoction for her every time without trying to cure her well. Think a mild tonic won’t hurt.”

Mu Xi was not annoyed, "Now you are the only one who can see it, a half-baked barefoot doctor like me, so you can decide whether to cure it or not."

She was lying on the bed and wanted to laugh when she heard these words. Just when she laughed twice, she accidentally pulled her chest, which made her gasp in pain.

Mu Xi didn't dare to joke with her anymore, "Just lie down. I'll cook whatever you want to eat."

The taboo for fractures is also not to eat spicy food. Pay attention to calcium and vitamin supplements. Milk and soy products available at home are good calcium supplement foods.

But she injured her ribs, and soy products and milk are foods that are prone to flatulence, which will affect her recovery. If she accidentally deflates, the injury will be aggravated if it hits her chest.

Zhao Yeqing chose eggs among the things she could eat. The yolks also supplemented calcium. She wanted to drink some bone soup, but she couldn't drink it now.

Mu Xi, "Bone soup supplements calcium, but it has more purines than calcium. Stewing sheep and scorpions can supplement calcium. But you can't eat mutton when taking Chinese medicine. How about killing a chicken?"

Zhao Yeqing thought about it and shook his head, "I don't have much appetite. I can't eat those, so just eggs."

Mu Xi steamed the custard and went down to the basement to pick strawberries to satisfy her craving.

Zhao Yeqing was lying on the bed, with a basket beside the pillow containing freshly picked strawberries and peaches that Mu Xi had picked yesterday.

The big peach tree I saw at the beginning of spring is bearing fruit. The wild peaches in the mountains are hairy peaches, each one is just a little bigger than a walnut. They are crunchy, 50% sour and 50% sweet, and the aroma is pretty good.

She ate two peaches before she dared to eat the strawberry. Strawberries were sweeter than peaches. If she ate the strawberries first and then the peaches, the contrast would not taste good.

After eating the last strawberry, I suppressed my hiccups and said, "The temperature in summer is too high. Strawberries that ripen in winter will be even sweeter."

When Mu Xi saw that she had finished eating, he reminded her as an afterthought: "You have finished eating the strawberries. Don't complain about the pain in your mouth after you drink the medicine."

Oh, she forgot.

Zhao Yeqing's face wrinkled as he thought about the sour and bitter medicine.

When he saw Mu Xi bringing the medicine over, he also held two strawberries in his other hand, and his wrinkled face relaxed again.

Mu Xi, "Fortunately, I predicted it in advance, otherwise some people would be clamoring for ice cream later."

She was poked in the mind and didn't reply. She drank the medicine honestly, ate a strawberry to clear her mouth, and then lay back down.

In the afternoon, Mu Xi would help her get out of bed and sit in the yard to bask in the sunshine, which had become milder. Sunbathing was equivalent to replenishing calcium at no cost.

During the week she was lying in bed, the temperature had reached 44 degrees, rising faster than last year.

The cotton, mung bean and rapeseed in the field have completely stopped growing, and there are faint signs of imminent death.

Zhao Yeqing couldn't do anything while lying down. Mu Xi was capable but didn't know what to do.

He accompanied Zhao Yeqing to bask in the sun and looked at the fields outside the newly built courtyard gate and said, "Do you think you want me to dig another basement and move these in?"

Zhao Yeqing blurted out without thinking, "Are you crazy? It's almost an acre of land, and you're digging a basement of more than 600 square meters by yourself?"

"I definitely can't dig it. I just want to dig one the same size as the previous one and move part of it in."

Zhao Yeqing sighed. Both of them had been working for a long time. Mu Xi didn't know how long it would take. The PC board was barely enough, but to bake the red bricks, you still had to dig the ground to build walls, and then prepare the ground for transplanting. Fertilize...

"Forget it. If it doesn't survive, just wait until it cools down before planting."

Except for the few mung bean seeds left, there is still half a bag of cotton seeds. The first batch of rapeseed has matured and is now gradually turning yellow in the sun. It can be taken back at any time. The second batch of rapeseed is gone.

Mu Xi thought that it wouldn't be a complete waste and gave up, "Then I'll move a few mung bean plants into the basement. There was a small piece of land reserved for leafy vegetables before, so let's plant that."

Zhao Yeqing, "I just planted the seeds in the days when you returned to Meishan, and they are probably about to germinate now."

"What did you grow?"

"Chinese cabbage."

She saw that the pickled sauerkraut she had made before was almost finished, and even the sauerkraut made from the mustard seeds picked in winter was almost finished, so she thought about growing some pickled sauerkraut.

When Mu Xi heard that it was cabbage, he said decisively: "The cabbage is fine. I pulled out the mung beans first. There are many cabbage seeds."

Zhao Yeqing could only respond, "Okay." In comparison, mung bean seeds were indeed scarce.

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have been so diligent.

Mung beans are relatively heat-resistant. When the weather is high, they will only grow leaves but not flowers and pods. The same is true for cotton. When the temperature is high, they will not bloom and form bolls, and even if they have flower buds, they will fall off quickly.

Transplanting mung beans does not take much time. The remaining area in the basement is not large, and the mung bean plants also need a certain distance. Only a dozen or so plants can be transplanted, just to retain the seeds.

Zhao Yeqing estimated that due to his injury, he might not be able to participate in labor in a short time. The rapeseed harvest was imminent, so he could only let Mu Xi do it by himself.

Mu Xi would go into the woods to collect herbs during the day, and when the sun went down in the afternoon, he would go to the fields to cut the rapeseed.

Afraid that it would be too boring for her to sleep in the room, I brought back some wild flowers from the mountains and put them in a vase to soothe her mood.

Zhao Yeqing was a little happy when he saw that what he brought back today were a few sprigs of jasmine with buds on them. He pointed to the most beautiful vase and said,

"Add some water and sprinkle sugar in the water to keep it alive, which can promote flowering and maintain the flowering period."

In the past, when she bought flowers, she used Pulse and Sprite to grow them. A bottle of flowers could last for more than 20 days. The same was true for sugar water, but the effect was not very good.

Mu Xi inserted the flowers and placed them on her bedside.

The aroma of jasmine is relatively strong, and the small flower is white and fragrant.

"Is this a lot of jasmine?"

Mu Xi had already guessed what she wanted to say, "Do you want to pick it and dry it for tea?"

Zhao Yeqing opened his eyes expectantly and nodded, waiting for his reply.
