Chapter 15: Reclamation of Vegetable Garden

Mrs. Deng thought that her health was indeed not good, and she smiled guiltily: "Okay. You wear straw hats and don't get sunbathed. I'll cook herbal tea for you and make some delicious food at noon!"

Today, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling came back from the city and bought pork belly and pork ribs, tender tofu, and had a meal at noon.

The meat can be stored overnight after being cooked and can be eaten for two more meals tomorrow.

Deng had never even entered the kitchen before, but now he can cook rice and porridge.

Even Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin and his younger brother learned to sweep the floor, pile firewood, feed chickens, pick vegetables and peel beans, and water the fruit trees.

Children of poor people are early on becoming a family, and children who are exiled cannot know nothing!

Zhao Liya really loves them, but she never thought about the days when the young master and the lady were wearing clothes and reaching out to eat and opening her mouth.

That doesn't hurt, that's hurt.

Zhao Liya smiled and said yes, and went out to open the land with Aunt Li Shiyi.

Under the big sun, the two of them wore big straw hats and first used sickles to clean up the dense weeds that were more than half a person tall, and then dig the ground with a hoe.

The ground is full of various grassroots with mixed roots, hard and only a layer of skin is shallow when one hoe is down, so the efficiency of cultivation is particularly low.

At noon, Hu Ling and Zhao Xiang carried bamboo and long wooden strips back, Zhao Liya and Aunt Li Shiyi only opened half an acre of half an acre.

Zhao Xiang said to Aunt Li Shiyi for his hard work. Seeing his red face and sweating, his daughter felt very distressed: "Ya'er, don't try too hard, take a break soon!"

Aunt Li Shiyi also smiled and said, "Aya is so capable. Although this child is so thin and small, he really holds it up. He insists on not calling him tired. I thought she wouldn't be able to stand it after a while. Unexpectedly, she has been working all morning."

Aunt Li Shiyi really admires it. You should know that this is not a country kid who urinates and does farm work. This is a daughter from the capital. She is more noble than the ladies of rich families in Gaolian County.

Zhao Xiang felt even more distressed when he heard this, and forced a smile and said, "We Ya'er have always been capable. Hurry up, go back first and have a good lunch. Don't do it anymore, go back quickly."

Hu led his head forward and took the hoe from Zhao Liya's hand: "Aya, Aunt Eleven, go back quickly!"

Zhao Liya took off her straw hat and fanned her air, and her little white and red face was full of smiles: "Dad, brother, I'm fine! I know it in my heart! Let's go, we all go back!"

At home, Mrs. Deng had already cooked the rice, and a large pot of rice was simmering on the breeze stove, and the dishes were all ready. Seeing that they were back, Mrs. Deng, who was accompanying herbal children, stood up and smiled, "Are you back? Go and wash your hands and face and cool down. I made herbal tea and you pour it yourself. I will cook the dishes and it will be ready soon."

Zhao Xiang nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam!"

Mrs. Deng smiled gently: "It's not hard for you, you're working hard!"

The Zhao family had a tacit understanding. No one talked about the hard work outside in front of Deng. For a moment, the yard was filled with light laughter and laughter.

Soon, two dishes and one soup were served on the table: fried tofu with pork belly slices, fried beans, and pork ribs and radish soup.

Deng's craftsmanship is really not very good. The pork belly is cut into pieces, one piece is small, one piece is thin and one piece is thick, and the tofu is not known to be sliced ​​into thin slices and fry it into golden brown. The fried beans have been fried for too long and added too much water, which has a bean smell of stewed water. The ribs are also large and one piece is small. The radish is carefully peeled off and half is destroyed, leaving only a radish heart, but the water is less, and it is said to be a stewed soup, but in fact, there is not much soup.

The two dishes and one soup are not good at all, and the taste is uneven, but fortunately they are all cooked, so no one in the family dislikes them and praises them for their deliciousness.

Aunt Li Shiyi felt a little sorry for ruining good food, but she was a mature person and naturally would not talk nonsense. At most, she would slowly remind Deng inadvertently to teach her. She used to be the wife of the official family, so she would not understand these things.

Deng's face was smiling, and he became more loving and gentle, but his eyes were a little wet.

She is not stupid, can't she eat it if it's delicious?

The sun was particularly fierce in the afternoon, and no one went out to work. It was not until almost four o'clock that they went out again.

At this time, the temperature in the mountains had gradually dropped, and it would not be too hot under the shadow of large trees. Hu Ling and Zhao Xiang seized the time to cut down some bamboo and the wooden strips came back.

Zhao Liya and Aunt Li Shiyi also went out to continue to reclaim land and dig land.

Zhao Xiang opened his mouth, and wanted Zhao Liya to stop fucking, but he swallowed the words again when he was at his mouth.

Today is different from the past. This is pale and powerless, so it is better not to say it.

In order to live well here, everyone in their family has to work hard.

The emperor had been thinking about deposing the crown prince for a long time, and the crown prince was cautious. He and Concubine Yan could not find the wrong thing about the crown prince, so he tried to force him, the crown prince tutor, to deal with the crown prince.

He is not only the prince's tutor, but also has a high prestige among scholars. If he stands up and says "The prince is not virtuous", the emperor will definitely be able to seize this statement and make a big fuss and depose the prince.

But he cannot do this. The prince is the future of the empire and his hard work. Besides, what's wrong with the prince?

If the Empress Dowager had not suppressed him, the prince would not have been able to be established. However, the emperor had never cared about the prince, otherwise, how could he be the prince's tutor?

When the emperor specially appointed him as the prince's tutor, he was actually deliberately disgusting the prince and deliberately letting people all over the world take a joke.

Because he is too young, he is not worthy of being the prince's tutor.

But the emperor said that he was very talented and talented. If he talked about his identity as the top scholar, who could say that he could not teach the prince?

The prince never blamed him for this, took his anger on him, treated him respectfully and politely, and he also taught and guided him carefully, and the two of them were quite co-starring.

The empress dowager died of illness, and the empress entered the Buddhist temple to pray for the empress dowager without taking a step further. He expected that the emperor and Concubine Yan would never sit still, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

He knew that exile was a punishment and lesson given to him by the emperor, and it was also a persecution. As long as he was willing to change his words, he could return to the capital at any time.

But he won't change it.

As for the family, he was destined to be sorry for them. Since they were his family, they could only bear all this with him. Moreover, the prince has always treated them well, and they are also unwilling to frame the prince.

The whole family stumbling and spent four days to finally fence the vegetable garden.

Not to mention anything else in Yancun, Zhao Liya was very satisfied with the spacious place. The vegetable garden at the door was about one and a half acres, and the vegetable fields were planted in one row, which was enough for the family to eat all year round.

And it can also feed at least twenty ducks and thirty chickens.

The moment the completion was completed, everyone looked at the bare vegetable garden surrounded, looked at each other and smiled comfortably.
