Old Lady Jia through the Red Mansions

A group of people arrived at Hot Spring Zhuangzi in a mighty way. Zhuangzi is not big, but there are three advances.There are no flowers and plants in the yard, except for some trees, there are also patches of vegetable fields.It's early autumn, and the vegetables in the vegetable field are growing well.

Fortunately, at the time of planning, the road was paved with stone slabs, and trees were planted on both sides of the road.Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to walk on the dirt road at this moment, and everyone's trousers will be covered with dust!

Seeing too many beautiful gardens, and suddenly seeing a garden of vegetables, the difference is too great.Except that some noble ladies may not like to see this kind of rural place.At present, as far as they are concerned, there is another scene.

Especially a few children, who have never even left the house.It's not that I haven't seen the garden at home, but I haven't seen a garden manager's green vegetables!Peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes with hanging fruits; cucumbers, bitter gourds, loofahs, and beans on the shelf; pumpkins and winter melons with vines.

The old lady took a closer look and found that the garden was almost as large as the vegetable field of the people in their previous life!All the vegetables that can be grown in this season are planted here!

They said they were children, but in fact there were only three children: Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Lian.Listening to their mouths, they exclaimed from time to time:

"It turns out that cucumbers grow like this..."

"Wow, this..."

The old lady listened to the children's children's talk with a smile on her face, thinking of her grandson's first return to the village in her previous life, she also looked like this.No matter what you see, you have to ask, and you even treat the seedlings as weeds, saying that you will pull the weeds and go back to feed the big yellow cattle.

When I saw the chickens, ducks and geese at home, I was stunned to chase those poultry away.It's just that when chasing the goose, the goose was annoyed, and the big gray goose chased him and wanted to peck him instead.He was so frightened that he "wow..." and yelled at grandma for help.

Even though he was frightened by the big gray goose, his courage still remained the same.Or it should be said that 'the ignorant are fearless'!

The next day, he ran around in the fields with other children in the village.

At that time, it was also the autumn harvest season, and the peanuts, soybeans, and sesame seeds in the fields could be harvested.Instead of catching frogs, he followed other village children, and even caught several four-legged snakes and tied them back with grass.

His mother was so scared that her hair almost stood on end!Even if he had taken a bath at night, his mother would not let him touch it for several days.

Later he heard that leeches were vampires, so he took several children to catch leeches.Said it was an experiment.Together with him, those children caught several kinds of leeches and let them dry in the sun for a few days.He said:

"It looks like they are all dry, why do they come back to life when they are put in water again?"

"It shows that their life is very tenacious! Not only can they live in water, even if the water is dry, they will not die immediately. Instead, they can wait until there is water again before continuing to reproduce."

Later, after the daughter-in-law knew about her son's various "achievements", she rarely let the child go back to the countryside...

Now, these children suddenly see so many vegetables growing in the ground, can they not be curious?Even Jia Zhu, who is usually very quiet, couldn't help asking the old lady a few questions.Even Jia Yuanchun, who has always been quiet, will inevitably ask people a thing or two.

Because Jia Lian has always been very close to the old lady, in recent years, he has spent more time with the old lady than in front of his mother.What's more, he didn't stop talking, just kept asking:

"Grandma, what is this?"

"Grandma, what's that?"

"grandmother……"

As for the old lady, when she saw these crops, it was equivalent to returning to her old man's battlefield!When you look back and look up, you can see the familiar battlefield - fields and crops!From the old lady's point of view, all the farming tasks are very cordial to everything she sees.He was extra careful when explaining to Jia Lian.

After hearing the old lady's introduction, Jia Lian looked at the old lady with bright eyes.

Jia Zheng and Jia She who were on the side were even more surprised that the old lady knew so much about farming.

The old lady didn't lose her mind just because she saw the farmland and vegetable fields, and she quickly felt the strange eyes of Jia Zheng and Jia She.The old lady didn't explain, but just chatted with the steward who led them the way.

Of course, most of what they talked about was related to farming.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart! In the ears of Jia Zheng and Jia She, it was: every time my mother went to live in the village for a day or two, she would talk to the steward and the farmer for a long time.Understand the harvest of crops, and over time, you will be good at farming!

The two brothers figured out a reasonable explanation by themselves, and they didn't want to pursue the truth any more!That was the mother of the two brothers. They doubted anyone, and they could not doubt their own mother.isn't it? !

The old lady understood just by looking at their expressions.It's comforting to know they won't overthink it.After all, she has been with them for several years, and it is really disappointing to come to doubt at this time!Although I don't know how the two brothers figured it out?

Her request is really not high, as long as she is not suspected!

A group of people entered the main room, and the old lady asked Jia She to arrange the housing.

Then, let everyone go back to their own rooms, pack themselves and their luggage, and tidy up.And the cook they brought has already taken people to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

After everyone had lunch together and rested for a while, they asked Jia She to take them to the backyard.

There is a big difference from the front yard: the back yard is really a back garden!

Maybe the hot spring is really good, so there are many flowers and plants in the backyard that can't be grown in the north.

If the front yard is a vegetable garden in the countryside; then the pavilions, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and streams in the backyard are like a fairyland!Who let the water be steaming, now there is still some steam coming out, and there is still a faint smell of sulfur in the air!

"Xie'er, this water?"

"This is the water from the hot springs. There are as many hot springs in this Zhuangzi. My son let the water from these hot springs flow through the garden. In winter, these hot springs can keep the water in the yard..."

The general meaning is that in order to make the flowers and plants in the garden in winter not afraid of the cold, he made a circular water flow.During the cold winter, the hot water can keep the garden warm.Even in snowy days, the garden can be full of greenery.

"Then why can't the garden outside do this?"

"It's a bit far away. When the hot spring water reaches outside, it's still warm in summer; in winter, although it can't freeze yet, it's already cold."

"Are you going to have a soup pool?"

"Two yards have been prepared, and the springs are in the two yards."

"Then let's go to the bubbles later!"

After walking around in the back garden, the old lady said she was a little tired.

Jia Amnesty then suggested to go to the hot spring to relieve fatigue.But before going to soak separately, Jia She still reminded:

"Soaking in hot springs for a while can relieve fatigue; if you soak in hot springs for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when you are in hot springs, if you feel uncomfortable such as dizziness and palpitations, you have to get up quickly and stop soaking .”

After hearing what Jia She said, everyone said they understood.

Then, the old lady took her daughter Jia Min and granddaughter Jia Yuanchun to the west courtyard to soak in the hot spring.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng took Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to the east courtyard to soak in the hot spring.
