Chapter 225: Sour Mimi Grass Prank
Chapter 225: Sour Mimi Grass Prank
An Yue carefully recalled what Chinese medicine practitioners had said in the 21st century.
"It has many uses. It can calm the nerves and aid digestion. Oh, and by the way, it can also nourish the essence and relieve fatigue."
"It sounds like a tonic!" Chunzhi said while scratching his ears.
"Well, that's about right!"
The two chatted with each other, and when they finished cleaning the yard, it was almost the evening hour.
"Chunzhi, let's go out together. You cut grass for the pigs and I pick mulberry leaves. Then we can come back and cook dinner together. Is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, then Chunzhi will get the backpack and prepare to go out." After Chunzhi said this, she walked towards the east ear room.
Chunzhi took out two backpacks, and the two of them each carried one backpack. They closed the gate of the yard and walked towards the main road.
Coming to a piece of wasteland beside the main road, An Yue was picking tender mulberry leaves from a big mulberry tree, while Chunzhi was squatting in the wasteland looking for pig grass.
"Miss, there is so much pig grass here!" Chunzhi shouted excitedly.
An Yue smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes! Then let's come here more often in the future. There are many young leaves on this big mulberry tree!"
After a while, both of their backpacks were full.
They picked up their backpacks and began to prepare to go home.
The soft light of the setting sun shines on their faces, reflecting their ordinariness and simplicity.
Although they are ordinary, they are not mediocre. They are making their lives better through their own efforts.
No matter how difficult life is, they can still find their own sweetness in life.
An Yue often thought to herself: "If I could return to the 21st century one day, that would be the best. If I can never go back, I will just live here peacefully. I have gotten used to the life here, so there is nothing wrong with it."
[Although there are no electronic products that facilitate communication here, there is the beauty of farming like a paradise. Planting flowers and getting flowers, planting beans and getting beans, the days are also beautiful. ]
After returning home, they washed their hands and started preparing dinner.
They walked into the kitchen together and started washing pots and cooking.
Blue smoke rises from the chimney on the roof, and the whole house is filled with the atmosphere of a warm life.
The next day, it was still dark.
An Yue and Chun Zhi got up early, washed up and started to prepare breakfast.
After washing up, An Nian sat in the yard and read a book.
Chunzhi sat under the stove and passed firewood, while Anyue was behind the stove cooking.
Chunzhi handed over the firewood and asked, "Miss, what are we going to do today?"
"Everyone in the village is busy digging wells. We already have a well at home so we don't need to dig any more. So why don't we dig herbs?"
"Haha...that's great, let's do some digging too." Haruji responded with her hands covering her mouth and laughing.
Breakfast was ready soon and the three of them finished their breakfast.
An Nian went to school in town, and An Yue and Chun Zhi divided the work of feeding the livestock.
After feeding the livestock, it was already bright outside.
The two began to walk towards the back mountain with their backpacks on their backs.
Coming to the wasteland on the hillside behind the mountain, the air was fresh in the early morning, and various wild grasses exuded bursts of fragrance.
An Yue carefully searched for various herbs such as plantain and dandelion, while Chunzhi followed her and picked them just like An Yue.
Suddenly, An Yue saw an interesting grass, and An Yue planned to play a prank on Chunzhi.
She picked two grass leaves and handed them to Chunzhi, saying seriously: "Chunzhi, try this grass leaf!"
Chunzhi took the grass leaves handed to her by An Yue and put them in her mouth without saying a word.
After chewing a few times, Chunzhi was so sour that she opened one eye and closed the other, covering her cheek under her earlobe.
With a very painful expression, he asked, "Miss, what kind of grass is this? Why is it so sour?"
An Yue looked at Chunzhi who was so sour that she covered her cheeks and said with a snicker, "This is called sour mimi grass. When you get bored in the wild, you can pick some and taste them for fun."
Chunzhi squatted down and picked a few leaves. She looked carefully and said, "Miss, the leaves of this sour mimosa are so unique!"
"Yes! It is also called clover. It is said that if you can find a four-petal clover among many leaves, you are lucky." The two talked while digging plantain and dandelions.
After a while, the two of them walked around the back slope and continued walking towards the wasteland west of the village.
When she arrived at the wasteland west of the village, An Yue heard a lot of hustle and bustle not far away.
Looking closely, I saw several young and strong men in the village, each carrying a hoe, looking for a suitable place to dig a well.
If you listen carefully, you can see there is a group of people on the other side of the bend.
After the whole village discussed digging a well, it seemed that the whole village became busy all of a sudden, and they were all looking for a water source.
An Yue and Chun Zhi were still squatting and digging herbs.
Before they knew it, two hours had passed and their backpacks were full.
"Chunzhi, the backpack is full. It's noon now. Let's go home now!"
"Okay, miss." Chunzhi dug more and more enthusiastically. After hearing what An Yue said, she quickly dug a few more plants and put them in the backpack.
The two walked towards their home, one in front of the other. "Chunzhi, let's take a break after lunch, and then go to the foot of the back mountain. You cut grass for the pigs and pick mulberry leaves, and I'll go collect honey."
"Miss, aren't you afraid of being stung by bees when you harvest honey?"
"I will wear protective gear. Besides, bees are not very poisonous, so a sting is no big deal."
An Yue and Chun Zhi returned home to make lunch. After lunch, they went back to their respective rooms to take a short rest.
At 3:00 p.m., the two woke up and washed their faces. After waking up, Chunzhi went to get the backpack and bamboo basket.
An Yue went to the kitchen and took out a large ceramic basin and a wooden basin and put them in Chunzhi's big backpack.
The two men carried their backpacks and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
After arriving at the destination, Chunzhi followed Anyue's previous instructions and went to the wasteland to cut grass for pigs and pick mulberry leaves.
Anyue put on one piece of coarse cloth dress after another as protective clothing, a bamboo hat covered with a gauze skirt, and finally put on Anyan's new socks as gloves.
She walked carefully to the beehive and gently parted the ferns around the hive entrance.
I saw several stone slabs crisscrossing under the ferns, and the bees' nests were inside the stone slabs.
An Yue knelt on the ground and moved the stone slab away with her bare hands.
Just then, several bees circled around An Yue.
An Yue was a little nervous, but she remained calm and continued with what she was doing.
Because of some nervousness, the stone slab above the nest accidentally loosened and fell down.
In an instant, the bees in the nest became extremely restless, and dense swarms of bees flew out of the nest.
Two bees flew directly to An Yue's arm and stayed there, stinging her visibly.
An Yue still tried her best to remain calm and raised her hand to quickly drive the bee away.
An Yue thought: "Luckily I was wearing thick enough clothes so I didn't get stung."
Then, she carefully moved the rest of the rubble away.
A fragrant scent of nectar wafted over her face, and An Yue couldn't help but lie down and get closer to take a look.
