Chapter 424 425 Country Woman

For a big shopkeeper like Chu Sihai, Zhou Jia understood the truth as soon as Zhou Jia said it. He cupped his hands at Zhou Jia with joy and said: "Master Zhou, I won't delay you and your wife to go to the countryside to escape the summer heat. I will enter the palace immediately." Tell your Majesty the news."

"Okay, let's go slowly." Zhou Jia sent Chu Sihai to the door. Seeing Chu Sihai get into the car happily, he turned and returned to the backyard.

Li Yu had already asked Xinghua to divide the lychees. Seeing Zhou Jia come back, he said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper sent two baskets of lychees. I asked Jixiang to send some to his uncle, Aqing, and Zhaocai. Everyone tasted them." Taste it, I also asked Zhaocai to send a copy to the old house."

Zhou Jia nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's set off now. It will be too hot on the road if we delay any longer."

"Okay, let's set off now!"

Li Yu put the remaining lychees into the basket, and took the apricot flowers and put them on the ice basin and carried them out.

Yangyang ran over holding the little white boy with four round eyes and shiny fur raised by him, "Mom, why don't you go? I can't wait!"

Li Yu said with a smile: "Okay, you go and take Little Loach and the others and wait for us to set off at the second gate."

Yangyang turned around and ran away, "Oh! Xiaobai is leaving!"

Li Yu left Nanny Yang to look after the house, Zhou Jia helped Mr. Wen get into the car, Yang Yang and Xiao Nilu got into the same car, and the group got in the car and walked to Hengshan Town.

After leaving Kyoto and arriving at Hengshan Town, Mr. Wen looked at the dark green rice fields on both sides of the river, swaying back and forth in the wind, and said with a smile: "It's still cool in the countryside."

Ji Xiang pointed to the Henghe River and the rolling shallow mountains and said with a smile: "Old Master, living in a place with mountains and water is comfortable."

Mr. Wen squinted his eyes and leaned against the carriage, "That's not necessarily the case. Some people like liveliness, and some people like purity. Everyone has their own preferences for carrots and vegetables!"

The villagers of Wangjia'ao watched a group of five carriages drive into the village. Yangyang was sleeping soundly next to Zhou Jia, and Li Yu leaned against the car window and watched the carriages cross the covered bridge and go to Zhuangzi in front.

When they were approaching Zhuangzi, they saw the green corn stalks on the roadside were already half a foot tall. When they arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, Zhou Jia helped Li Yu get out of the car.

Yangyang and Xiao Niluo had already run to the front of the car and were waiting for the two of them to get off. Xiaobai barked at Li Yu and his wife.

Li Yu got out of the car and looked at the little loaches, and said with a smile: "It's so cool here!"

Yangyang looked at Xiaobai having fun on the road, and held Li Yu's hand with a smile, "Mom, it's so comfortable here. You can run around, and Xiaobai doesn't have to be locked up at home."

Li Yu looked at the green rice fields and nodded with a smile, "Yeah! Ask Uncle Xiang to send you there next time you take a vacation."

Yangyang pouted and said, "Oh! It can only be done next time."

The little loach pointed to the irrigation ditch beside the road with shining eyes, "Master, look, there is a small ditch on the side of the road for us to fish in."

Yangyang nodded in agreement, "Okay! We'll go into the house later and find two fish baskets for catching fish."

Li Yu and the others smiled as they watched several children discussing how to catch fish. When they entered the yard, they saw the grape trellis beside the well. The clusters of emerald-green grapes on the trellis were like bunches of emeralds.

Yangyang and Little Loach went under the grape trellis and looked up at the bunches of grapes, swallowing their sour saliva. Xiaobai walked around under the trellis.

Xinghua, Mrs. Zhang, and Jixiang were busy moving their luggage to the backyard. Little Loach and others quickly went up to help. Yangyang also ran over to help move the luggage inside.

Zhou Jia helped the somewhat tired Mr. Wen walk to the backyard.

Li Yu stood in the yard and saw that the melon stand set up against the courtyard wall was covered with winter melon vines and pumpkin vines. There were also several small green round pumpkins growing on it, and several half-foot-long winter melon hangings. Under the pergola.

There are also bean vines on the wall, with clusters of small lavender flowers blooming on the vines. Cowpeas, green beans, cucumbers and lentils are also hung on the vines. Below are green rapeseed, Chinese cabbage, eggplant, peppers, and other vegetables. There are onions and coriander, and a few patchouli plants are planted on the side.

Li Yu lowered his head and smelled the strong scent of the patchouli leaves. He thought about going to the river ditch to catch some crucian carp and cooking the patchouli crucian carp to eat.

Jixiang came back from the backyard and saw Li Yu standing in front of the melon stand. He said with a smile: "Madam, these are transplanted from the vegetable fields of Tang Yong's family and several other tenant families. The rapeseed and cabbage are Tang Yong's seeds, Tang Yong and his wife are both good at work. Go and see the garden in the backyard, which has pear trees, persimmon trees, and a grape trellis."

Li Yu nodded and praised: "Yeah! The vegetable garden is really well done. Later, you can send some of the sugar and food you brought to the people who brought the vegetable seedlings."

"I know." Ji Xiang agreed with a smile and moved away with his things.

Mr. Wen sat on the stone bench in the back garden and said to Zhou Jia with a smile: "This village is in a good location. It is not far from Beijing. The bad thing is that there are many mosquitoes in places with many bamboo forests. Wait for me to take a rest." Go cut some wormwood and come back to smoke the surrounding area."

Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Wen and felt that he was more energetic than before. He said a little sadly: "I will accompany you later. If you like it here, just stay here with Xiaoyu for a while, and then come back when the weather gets cooler." city."

Mr. Wen heard Zhou Jia's worry, turned to look at him, and smiled at him: "Xiao Xi, don't worry, Mr. is still strong! He still has to watch Yang'er get married! But! Mr. also wants to advise you. In short, your father was spoiled by your grandmother. He was a little selfish and willful. He still had no desire to harm others. If he could change some of his bad habits, don't take the past to heart. Don’t let yourself regret it.”

Zhou Jia nodded, "Sir, don't worry, Xiaoyu has advised me a long time ago. If he can be a good person and not try to trick actors into going to the hook, I will support him with all my heart and make sure he has enough food and clothing."

"Okay, it's good if you can think about it. People say that a virtuous wife will bring few troubles to her husband, so you are lucky to have Xiaoyu as your wife." Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile.

Zhou Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it may be God's compensation for me."

Xinghua took Mrs. Zhang to lay out the room and hung up the curtains and curtains. Jixiang took the little loach and several others to carry the firewood into the kitchen, and Mrs. Lin started boiling water for washing.

Li Yu picked some rapeseed and Chinese cabbage and put them in a vegetable basket. He also picked some cowpeas, green beans, a few cucumbers, peppers, and a bamboo basket full of eggplants, and put them in the sink next to the well.

Xinghua came out with a dustpan and a wooden basin and said to Li Yu: "Madam, Granny Lin has boiled the bath water. You go and wash up and change clothes. Leave this to me."

"Okay, you ask Mrs. Yun to stir-fry a cucumber, stir-fry green beans, cook the pork belly and cowpeas you brought, take out the pork belly and add green pepper to the pot, make a fish-flavored eggplant dish, put a little patchouli in it, and rapeseed Make a soup with the cabbage and stir-fry it, you can make it however you like."

Xinghua responded with a smile: "Yes, madam! Madam, you still like to eat these home-cooked dishes. I have never seen you say anything about how to cook them in the kitchen in Kyoto!"

Li Yu laughed, "Your wife is a country woman at heart."

Xinghua narrowed her eyes and smiled: "You are a good-looking country woman."
