Chapter 304 Spring Breeze
Spring is a season that brings joy to people's hearts.
The spring breeze can't wait to cover the earth with a green robe, which makes people's eyes bright.
The young seedlings in the fields are full of vitality and thriving in the spring breeze, which reminds people of the autumn harvest.
Gu Qingqing looked at the rows of small green sprouts in the fields. The joy in her heart was simply beyond words. She seemed to have seen the baskets of sprouts being sent home in late summer.
The old man was obviously hearing about earth eggs for the first time. He pointed at the seedlings in the field and asked in confusion, "They grow in the field like sweet potatoes, right?"
Gu Qingqing came back to her senses and looked at the old man and said, "It's just not as big as a sweet potato, and not as sweet as a sweet potato."
"Hey, what's the point of eating that?" The old man lost a lot of interest when he heard it, and his face looked distressed, as if he thought it was not as good as sweet potato, and planting it was a waste of land.
"This won't give you heartburn!" Gu Qingqing replied.
The old man was amused by her answer, "As long as we can eat enough, we don't care about heartburn."
There is nothing wrong with what the old man said. As long as every household in the village has food to eat and can eat their fill, they won’t save anything. Who cares whether they have heartburn or not?
But as someone who has eaten potatoes, how could Gu Qingqing not love them?
Seeing that Qingqing didn't say anything more, Wen Wuyan took over the rest of the conversation and chatted with the old man for a while.
Gu Qingqing went into the field and quickly checked the germination situation. Overall, it was good, except for the potatoes at the edge of the field and a few pits in the middle. She used her hands to dig the soil around the pits and saw that the potatoes inside were already showing signs of rotting.
She was helpless, there was no hope.
She knew that the seedlings were missing, but there was nothing she could do because she couldn't even find a potato at home.
When Wen Wuyan saw Gu Qingqing coming back, he said goodbye to the old man and went to take a look at the rice. Then the family of three headed back.
As a result, she met Wang Chunxiang and her children digging wild vegetables in the fields in the south of the village. Gu Qingqing just smiled at her from a distance, but she didn't expect that she actually asked her daughter to carry a basket and walk towards her.
After Gu Qingqing roughly understood what she was going to do, she waved at the child, but Qian Zhaodi who came over ignored her.
Qian Zhaodi was young, and the basket she was carrying was swaying from side to side, which frightened Gu Qingqing, who prayed in her heart that she would not fall.
She gave Wen Wuyan a look that said 'wait for me here', jumped over the small ditch on the side of the road, and walked towards Qian Zhaodi.
"Zhao Di, what's wrong?" Gu Qingqing went up to her and asked.
She must have touched her face with her dirt-stained hands, and her not-so-fair face now looked even more like a little cat's face.
Qian Zhaodi was still a little timid when she saw Gu Qingqing. She just blinked her eyes and dared not say a word. She pursed her lips and turned to look at her mother. She saw her mother waving at her. Qian Zhaodi lowered her head slightly and raised her eyes and whispered, "Aunt, the wild vegetables are delicious now. My mother asked me to send some wild vegetables to you."
Gu Qingqing was startled when she heard this, and when she looked down, she saw shepherd's purse, a few dandelions, a few wild garlics, and more green onions in her basket.
By April, the dandelions have begun to turn bitter, and many of the shepherd's purse have also grown old.
Gu Qingqing originally wanted to raise her head and touch her head, but seeing the little girl's evasive look, she could only withdraw her hand in dismay, trying to smile kindly and speak softly, "Thank you and your mother. My aunt has some vegetables at home. You can go find your mother with them."
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Qian Zhaodi didn't know what to do for a moment. She turned back to look at her mother, who was still waving at her. She had no choice but to turn around and say to Gu Qingqing again, "My mother asked me to bring you some wild vegetables."
Gu Qingqing looked at the child and then at Wang Chunxiang who was pregnant. She reached out and symbolically took a few gray vegetables from the other person's basket. Looking at the timid little girl, she smiled more harmlessly, "Auntie has taken it. You should go find your mother."
The young Qian Zhaodi only knew that her mother asked her to deliver vegetables, but did not say how much. When she saw her aunt taking wild vegetables from her basket, she thought she had completed her task and went to find her mother with the basket.
Gu Qingqing watched her walking on the ridge of the field like a little duck, and reminded her to walk slower. At the same time, she raised the wild vegetables in her hand and waved them at Wang Chunxiang to show her gratitude.
Wen Wuyan saw Qingqing coming back with wild vegetables in her hands, and asked curiously, "Why is Wang Jie in our village? She doesn't look like she's here to visit relatives. And she seems to be very familiar with Qingqing?"
Gu Qingqing opened her mouth slightly, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I forgot and didn't tell you."
Wen Wuyan just said "Oh" and said no more, waiting for Qingqing to speak next.
"Her husband passed away a few days ago, and her house and land in Qianjiazhuang were taken away by her fellow clansmen in the village using various methods. She also heard some bad things, so she ran back with her child that night. When her brother found out, he wanted to cause trouble for Qianjiazhuang, but was stopped by everyone in the village. Everyone was there at the time and helped with advice. In the end, she got a divorce letter from Qianjiazhuang and temporarily lived in her parents' home with her child."
When Gu Qingqing said this, she turned her head and glanced at Wang Chunxiang, who was already pregnant. She was half-kneeling and digging wild vegetables. The posture made Gu Qingqing worried and uncomfortable for her.
Then, she turned back and continued, "I guess he was grateful to us after seeing us just now, so he instructed the child to send us some wild vegetables."
After hearing Qingqing's words, Wen Wuyan turned his head and looked over there, and asked uncertainly, "She looks like, like..."
"Like pregnant?"
Wen Wuyan nodded.
"That's right, it's been more than four months. I heard that because the first child she gave birth to was a girl, her mother-in-law often took the opportunity to bully her. On the other hand, the old man no longer had a son, so he resented and hated her, and even joined forces with the villagers to plot against their mother..." When Gu Qingqing said this, her voice paused.
She looked down at her hand that was suddenly held by Wen Wuyan, then looked up at Wen Wuyan and asked in confusion, "Why are you holding my hand?"
Wen Wuyan stopped and turned around to look at Gu Qing tenderly, "We are outside and I can only hold your hand. If we were at home, I would definitely hold you tightly in my arms, then kiss you, want you, and tell you that you still have me."
Listen! Listen!
Is this what a scholar can say in broad daylight?
Hearing his hooligan words in broad daylight, Gu Qingqing was so scared that she looked around hurriedly. She felt relieved when she saw that there was no one around.
She glared at him and said stubbornly, "Humph, who said I was uneasy? I think you just want to act like a hooligan in broad daylight, and you are not afraid of corrupting the children."
Gu Qingqing said this and took the opportunity to snatch the three flowers from his arms, so as not to appear so flustered and to separate her hands from his.
"Qingqing, if you feel uneasy, let's have another son!"
"Let's go, let's go home quickly. Do you think you can have a son just because you want to?" Gu Qingqing felt her face getting hot for some reason, and she didn't know whether she was being played by him or because he said he wanted a son.
Wen Wuyan smiled and looked at her evasively, thinking in his heart that he would be leaving tomorrow, so he had to make Qingqing comfortable tonight no matter what.
