The Tough Peasant Wife: Jin Niang - C10 Each mind
Each of them had their own thoughts. Jin Niang hid their thoughts and she did not say anything about it, but before she left, she picked up a few acanthopanax and brought them back for Xia Lanqing and Su Moyan to taste.
Wild things on the mountain were not strange to the local people, but the people on the outside felt different.
There was another aspect in her consideration of bringing her back for Xia Lanqing to eat, and that was when she heard that acanthopanax s could improve a human’s immunity to food.
Although it wasn’t that miraculous, even psychological comfort was good.
“I never thought that Xia Lanqing would actually recognize acanthopanax s, and when she brought them back, she smiled with a face full of nostalgia.” This is acanthopanax s, I didn’t eat it when I was young, father always brought wild fruits with him when she came back from the mountains, and he also brought quite a number of acanthopanax s as well.
Jin Niang could eat a little bit more when she wanted to, but she did not dare to be careless when facing Xia Lanqing. Her body was not well to begin with, if she was not careful, she did not know what would happen.
He carefully cleaned up the place and cleaned up the place, including the seeds inside before pushing them in front of Xia Lanqing and Su Moyan on a plate.
“Eating more is good for your health, you have to eat more.” This was said to Xia Lanqing.
She didn’t say anything to increase her immunity, because even if she did, they wouldn’t understand. She still had to explain for a long time, and that wasn’t the most crucial point. The most crucial point was how she knew.
Although he still could not believe that Jin Niang had said something that was good for the body, Xia Lanqing was still happy in his heart. He praised her good manners with a smile, then took a piece and placed it in his mouth.
This was the first time Su Moyan had seen such a thing. Looking at its prickly body, she thought it was inedible. She didn’t expect that it tasted good. It was sour and sweet. Mother probably liked it a lot.
When she thought about it, she couldn’t help but glance at Jin Niang. She went up the mountain herself?
However, he didn’t say anything due to his mother’s presence. He didn’t want his mother to worry, so he had remembered it in his heart.
Jin Niang didn’t know what he was thinking, but she was worrying about what kind of meal it was. The weather was too hot and everyone had no appetite, so she wanted to make some simple and light food.
Then, he thought about eating rice, but didn’t know if Xia Lanqing could eat it.
At this time, they were already extremely nostalgic for the modern Liangpi, ice cream, even big families could use ice, how could ordinary people have the money to use it?
However, there was one good thing about well water, which was that it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
After asking Xia Lanqing if she could eat something cold and get an affirmative answer, Jin Niang decided to make water rice.
Recently, Xia Lanqing’s appetite was also not good, other people could even make some green bean soup to relieve the heat. She didn’t even dare to drink the green bean soup because she was eating medicine, and her weak body also had a problem with not sweating.
It wasn’t that difficult to accept the fact that the weather was hot and sweaty, but rather that it was uncomfortable to release sweat. No matter how hot it was, it couldn’t sweat a single bit, making the depression even worse.
It wasn’t until this moment that her appetite also dropped. In the summer, she would be a lot thinner. She wasn’t fat to begin with, but her slim body was even weaker. It was a vicious cycle.
Maybe it was due to the young bird’s feelings that Jin Niang always had a different feeling towards the Xia Lanqing who was the first person in the world to have shown him kindness and saved her life.
It wasn’t a fawning attitude, but a heartfelt wish that she would be better. Seeing her upset caused him to worry as well. He then started to think of ways to make her feel better.
Since she couldn’t do anything at the moment, she should at least let Xia Lanqing eat his fill.
Jin Niang’s first meal was in the northeast, one that was made with sorghum rice, and then was accompanied by an eggplant and potato dip. Some people even liked to eat scallion sauce or some cold mixed wild dishes, which was very refreshing.
At that time, she was still not used to the dishes there, but the sorghum rice was indeed delicious, and since the sorghum rice was rather hard, she had to soak it in advance.
If you don’t have the sorghum rice to soak in, then you can make rice.
After the rice was cooked, they directly used the well water. Now, the natural pollution-free well water was very clean. In the summer, most people in the village would drink the well water, so they wouldn’t have stomachs.
Unlike the serious environmental pollution of the later generations, even the water cooking was made with cold boiled water or mineral water. How could they dare to use running water!?
Su Moyan was a little curious as to what she was doing and why she was washing the cooked food with water.
With a studious attitude, Su Moyan directly asked Jin Niang, “What are you doing?”
Jin Niang who was seriously immersed in the water did not seem to think that he would ask such a question. “No,” she said, and went back to her work.
“Rice?” What was that? He still looked confused.
“That’s it.” Jin Niang pointed to the food she cooked and said to Su Mo Yan.
Su Moyan: “…” All right.
Jin Niang picked some bitter vegetables and mixed them up with the hot water directly to heat them up. Summer was the best time to eat them.
He then stir-fried another spiced eggplant and mixed it with a green melon.
Her movements were extremely nimble, and she quickly finished cooking all the dishes. Then, Su Mo Yan helped to place them in the courtyard. Xia Lanqing was currently making clothes for Su Mo Yan.
Su Moyan obviously knew what her mother was thinking about. Seeing her stitch herself up so seriously, her eyes darkened for a moment, before returning to normal. However, Jin Niang was still able to tell what she was thinking with his sharp senses.
When she saw Xia Lanqing looking at Su Mo Yan again, she couldn’t help but ponder in her heart. Could it be that there was something that Xia Lanqing couldn’t know and Su Mo Yan was in a very difficult situation?
Since she didn’t want Xia Lanqing to know, then she naturally wouldn’t bring it up now. Furthermore, she wasn’t sure if Su Mo Yan would be willing to let her know.
This was also the first time Xia Lanqing had eaten this kind of rice. It was very novel, and eating a cool and refreshing meal like this on such a hot day was really a big enjoyment.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, looked towards Jin Niang in agreement. Let alone this little girl, she still had some ability!
Jin Niang was also very happy that she did not waste her efforts.
Xia Lanqing continued to praise the dish even after she finished it, “Delicious, Jin Niang is really capable!”
Jin Niang smiled a little subtly, “It’s good that you like it, I’ll do something else next time.” Not bad, Liangpi! I can try it later.
She had seen others do it, but she had never fought before. She didn’t know if she could succeed, but she would know if she could.
Xia Lanqing laughed and nodded, “But don’t let yourself get tired too.” She still remembered that Jin Niang was still weak.
The main reason why Jin Niang was so weak was because she was malnourished. Although she still did not have much meat on her body, her face was a lot redder than before.
But she would definitely appreciate Xia Lanqing’s concern for her, so she smiled and nodded: “I know, don’t worry.”
Then, Xia Lanqing smiled as she asked her how she was doing when she went out to get along with other people. Jin Niang was speechless for a while.
In the end, he only said that it was pretty good, and then, he changed the topic. Xia Lanqing’s thoughts were simple, it was very easy to divert his attention, and then, he left along with Jin Niang’s topic, forgetting what he had previously said.
Su Mo Yan glanced at Jin Niang. How could he not see that she was not telling the truth?
He got up and helped Xia Lanqing to rest inside the house, but Jin Niang did not follow him in. By the time Su Mo Yan came out, Jin Niang had already packed up the tableware.
Raising his head to look at the sky, he realized that it was currently the hottest time of the day. There were very few people walking around outside, so it was naturally not a good time to pick them.
I feel a little sleepy, so I might as well take an afternoon nap. I woke up too early in the morning!
After Su Mo Yan saw that she had finished packing up and yawned as she entered the room, he couldn’t help but look at her again. These past few days of being together had always made him curious about one thing: Jin Niang’s character was completely different from the legends.
Although they had not interacted with each other before, they had heard quite a bit about her from their mouths. After he bought Jin Niang in particular, they spoke even more about her.
Yang Lihua and Lin Da Shun were both confused, when she was at home, she was like a servant, rarely coming out to play, always busy with household chores, whenever she saw people, her eyes would be filled with cowardice.
However, these few days, they had overturned everything they had seen before. Although she didn’t talk much, she wasn’t as weak as those people said.
Recalling her performance on the day that she was sold by her parents, Su Moyan felt a little relieved. This little girl had her own protective colors. How could a person who disguised herself to protect her be a weak person?
Did she understand everything? Was she even more disappointed in her parents? The change is because of the shock?
This made sense. Wasn’t he having fantasies about his so-called family members before? Reality gave him a heavy slap.
Luckily, those people were leeches when they left in time. Once they got tangled up with them, they would need to drain you of all blood before they would stop.
Xia Liangchun was just a slob before because he had been forced into a corner by his family. He never would have thought that after his father passed away, he would actually take over their property and still want to leave his mother behind to exchange the medicinal herbs for his mother’s life!
How could he do it?
It was great now, they were living a luxurious life with their silver taels, but he was facing a situation where he was lacking clothes and food, and could not even afford to go to school.
Thinking about that, and looking at Xia Lanqing’s room, he felt a little resentful towards his mother. If she hadn’t naively desired that family love, how would they have ended up like this?
After thinking about it, she felt that she shouldn’t have done it. That was her mother, the one who had always doted on him and loved him. She was a little naive and simple, but she also had a pure heart.
He closed his eyes and opened them. It was still too early to come to a conclusion, right?
