Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

When the captain saw her, he forced a smile from his serious face and said, "Let's eat together. These are all vegetables grown at home!"

There were a lot of dishes on the table, including fried snails, steamed potatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried grass heads, and a plate of steamed bacon. For rural areas, these dishes were very rich.

Grass head, also known as golden flower vegetable

The captain's family consists of just the couple raising three grandchildren. Their children all work in the city and are very busy most of the time. They only come back during the holidays.

"I haven't eaten Aunt Four's cooking for a long time."

Xia Qingqing was no longer polite. When she was a child, she often came to the captain's house for dinner, and she was as casual as if she was at her own home. However, she pretended to go to the toilet, entered the space, wrapped three red envelopes, and then went back to eat.

"Eat more!"

Fourth Aunt gave her a big bowl of rice, fearing that she would not be full.

There were three children, two boys and one girl. The older girl was seven or eight years old, and the boys were four or five years old and three or four years old. They were all the team leader's grandchildren. They looked at Xia Qingqing curiously, and they were very cute.

"Call Auntie."

Fourth Aunt taught with a smile.

"aunt!"

The three children called out politely, and Xia Qingqing responded with a smile. She took out three red envelopes from her pocket and stuffed them into the three children's pockets, "Auntie bought you some candy."

"Qingqing, take it back quickly!"

Fourth Auntie insisted on returning it to her, so Xia Qingqing stood up and tried to leave. "Fourth Auntie, the child calls me aunt, so it's only natural for me to give him a red envelope as a gift. If you're like this, then I won't eat it anymore, and I won't be embarrassed to come here in the future."

"You are too polite, kid."

Fourth Aunt accepted the red envelope with a reproachful tone. After that, she kept picking up food from Xia Qingqing's bowl, so that her food was always overflowing and she could never finish it.

"Hurry...Aunt Si, stop pinching me. That's enough...Hurry..."

Xia Qingqing felt so tired after eating. She had a big appetite, but this bowl of rice was like a treasure bowl. She couldn't finish it at all. She ate so much that her lungs were almost full.

"Stop serving food to Qing girl!"

The captain couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to stop them. The girl rolled her eyes while eating. His old lady had no tact at all.

"Maybe you ate it when you were a child. Qingqing, you need to eat more. You are too thin now!"

Fourth Aunt put down her chopsticks reluctantly. She felt that Xia Qingqing was too thin. Her waist was thinner than a willow tree and could be blown up to the sky by a slight breeze.

"it is good!"

Xia Qingqing agreed obediently. She didn't think Fourth Aunt was nagging. She even enjoyed her nagging a little. Her cold heart felt warmed a little.

After dinner, Fourth Aunt was collecting the dishes. Xia Qingqing wanted to help, but the team leader stopped her and said, "Let your aunt do it. I have something to tell you."

The captain talked about the transfer of ownership, "I'll ask your mother to come within three days to transfer the ownership. She won't dare not come. When the time comes, just sign the document and stamp it!"

Xia Qingqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect the captain to give her such a big surprise. Knowledge is indeed wealth. She used a small trick of "playing the victim" and got so much land.

In her previous life, she actually didn't like studying, but after going to jail, she fell in love with reading. She read all kinds of books, including books on military strategy. She used some strategies to deal with Xia Ling and his wife.

Letting Xia Ling and Master Xia die directly would be too easy for them. Xia Qingqing also wanted them to feel the heart-wrenching pain before they died, the kind of pain that pierces her bones. This was the pain she felt when she learned of Xiaoyu's death.

She read Investiture of the Gods, in which King Zhou dealt with Ji Chang by killing his most beloved son, and cooked the son into a meat soup for King Wen to eat. Cooking the meat soup was too troublesome, so she cut a little bit every day, and the effect was very good.

She was so happy to see the miserable suffering of Xia Ling and Master Xia!

Xia Qingqing came back to her senses from the past and thanked the captain, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle!"

"What are you thanking me for? Your grandpa entrusted you to me, and I didn't do anything. Sigh!"

The captain sighed.

"It's my own fault. I was afraid of getting beaten and didn't dare to come back."

Xia Qingqing lowered her head, emitting a faint sadness, which made the captain and his wife feel even more distressed for her. They kept scolding Xu Manru as worse than a beast.

The performance was almost over, and Xia Qingqing suppressed her sadness, leaving only a hint of sorrow, which made the captain and his wife even more distressed.

"Qing girl, everyone will encounter some difficulties in life. You have to be strong, and everything will be fine." Fourth Aunt comforted.

She was worried that the girl would be upset.

"I still have to take care of my younger brother, Uncle Four, Aunt Four, don't worry, I won't be upset."

Xia Qingqing heard her worry and quickly restrained herself, thinking that she had overacted a bit.

"Your brother is the son of your mother and that man, right? They don't even care about their own son?" asked the captain.

"When my brother was four years old, he was found to have a low IQ, which was different from normal children. But he was very well behaved and very sensible. They thought he was a disgrace..."

When mentioning Xiaoyu, Xia Qingqing's face showed more smiles.

The captain and his wife exchanged glances, sighed together, and felt more pity for Xia Qingqing.

Not only does she have a black-hearted mother, but she also has to take care of a silly brother. The old saying that beautiful women are doomed to a tragic fate is really true.

Xia Qingqing sat for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

It was already dark. There was a street lamp on the road in the village. The light was dim and only illuminated a short distance. However, the villagers lived next to each other, and the lights from their homes shone through, so the road was not dark.

Including the fifteen years in her previous life, she hasn't been back for more than twenty years. Xia Qingqing walked slowly and unknowingly reached the foot of the mountain.

The mountains in the village are neither high nor steep. Xia Qingqing found her own mountain based on her memory. Now it is under Xu Manru's name and will soon become hers.

She took out a flashlight and saw a lot of bamboos and spring bamboo shoots that were thicker than an adult's arms. Some of them had broken their shells and grown into bamboos.

Pickled pork with preserved vegetables!

Xia Qingqing thought of this dish at once and her mouth began to water. Her grandfather liked to eat pickled pork with preserved vegetables and he would often make it in spring. Every time she did so, she would drink the soup until her belly was full and it was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating.

After swallowing her saliva, Xia Qingqing took out a hoe, picked out a bamboo shoot that looked the best and started digging. It took a lot of effort to dig it out, and it turned out to be a bamboo shoot with a yellow mud shell. She was really lucky.

The yellow mud shelled spring bamboo shoots taste the best. They are also delicious when fried. They are especially sweet and fresh. They are also delicious when stewed into soup. Xia Qingqing put more than ten pounds of spring bamboo shoots into the space and continued to wander around the mountain.

Yellow mud bamboo shoots

Although the mountain is not high, it has rich vegetation, including pine trees, tung trees, fir trees and camphor trees. Xia Qingqing also found many medicinal herbs, including Polygonum multiflorum, Panax notoginseng, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Herba Astragali. Fortunately, she brought the medicine hoe left by her grandfather. When she was a child, she often followed her grandfather to the mountain to collect herbs.

Xia Qingqing carefully dug up a few medicinal herbs, keeping the roots intact. She would plant them in the black soil of the space later.

A gust of wind blew over, Xia Qingqing shivered, not daring to climb up anymore, and went back home.

Originally, she planned to stay for one night and then go back to the city, but since Xu Manru was coming to transfer the ownership, she stayed a few more days. She thought Xu Manru would wait until the last day to come, but unexpectedly, she came so quickly. She rushed to the team leader's house the next morning, and Fourth Aunt came to call her.

Xu Manru wore a newly made coat, had her hair permed and put on makeup. She carried a delicate white bag, looking like an urban beauty, and she stood out from the crowd of gray villagers.

"You sold your daughter to make new clothes, didn't you? You're not afraid of being struck by lightning when you walk on the street!"

"If God had a good eye, he would have struck her down long ago!"

"Xu Manru didn't dare to come back these years. She must be afraid that Doctor Xu would come after her!"

……

The villagers gathered at the door of the team leader's house and spoke their minds without any scruples. Xu Manru's pretty face became darker and darker and distorted. It was indeed that the rebellious girl came back to talk nonsense. She should have strangled the little beast to death when he was born 19 years ago.
