Chapter 302: Thorn Dragon Bud
Gu Qingqing pulled the donkey's reins and said to it seriously, "You choose. Among all these people, there must be one person you are willing to follow. Otherwise, I will never serve you well again."
Gu Qingqing asked Zhao Dong, Zhao Nan, Zhao Bei, and Zhao Feng to stand in a row in front of the donkey.
This donkey only recognized her, which made her happy at first. But now that she was counting on it to do work, she felt that this behavior of recognizing people was very unfriendly.
Because sometimes she couldn't leave, it couldn't follow her.
Damn it! Gu Qingqing complained about it in her heart!
"Brother Dong, do you think we are being chosen?"
There was nothing wrong with what Zhao Bei said. The current situation was indeed to let the donkey choose someone other than Gu Qingqing who could order it around.
But Zhao Bei, a guy with an unusual way of thinking, suddenly twisted his big and strong body, pinched his fingers, and said in a pinched voice, "Come on, officer!"
Gu Qingqing, who was sitting opposite him, was the first to be hit. She shuddered instantly and got goosebumps all over her body. She subconsciously raised her hands to scratch herself and looked at Zhao Bei with a scrutinizing look.
At the same time, she unabashedly hid behind Wen Wuyan beside her. This wave of mental attack was too deadly.
Cough cough, Wen Wuyan put a fist to his lips, not wanting to look at Zhao Bei's coquettish behavior.
The rest of the guys were not much better. Their approach was very simple and clear. The brothers started punching and kicking Zhao Bei, beating him so hard that he ran around the yard screaming.
However, at this moment, the donkey moved.
He didn't look angry, but rather very peaceful.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqing loosened the reins, and saw the donkey walking towards Zhao Bei neither fast nor slow, and using its not-so-strong body to block in front of Zhao Bei.
You can also sniffle leisurely.
The people who were chasing Zhao Bei stopped immediately upon seeing this and pointed at Zhao Bei through the donkey.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's just unbearable to watch. I didn't expect that your disgusting appearance could seduce a donkey."
"Hahaha, Zhao Bei, you've been favored by a donkey. That's good. The remaining owner will act as a matchmaker for you."
"Very good." The remaining three brothers sent their blessings to Zhao Bei.
Zhao Bei was not at all discouraged by their words. He said smugly, "You are just jealous of me because you can't eat the grapes."
Zhao Bei finished speaking and happily stroked the donkey's fur. "Donkey, donkey, you really have good taste."
As he spoke, Zhao Bei tentatively pulled the reins and dragged the dog around the yard twice.
Seeing that the donkey was willing to follow the others, Gu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he smiled and said, "This is good. At least Zhao Bei can also take care of driving the car in the future. I can relax a lot."
After the brothers drove the donkey cart to pull the bamboo, Gu Qingqing cried out.
"What's wrong?" Wen Wuyan asked beside him.
Gu Qingqing looked at him and smiled. "I went to Chunhua's house yesterday and told her that I would go to her house to dig persimmon seedlings this morning. I almost forgot about it. It's a good thing that you're back now. Come with me. I've got some soil from the roots, so you can help me."
"Qingqing, I'm glad to hear that. But where do you plan to plant it when you come back?" Wen Wuyan asked with a smile.
"Come on, I'll take you to see it." Gu Qingqing said as she pulled Wen Wuyan's other hand. There was no one at home at this time as the children had gone to study in the backyard. Although Sanhua was being held by her father, what did the little one know?
Parents hold hands because they have a good relationship.
Gu Qingqing pulled him towards the door of the study in the front yard. The study was located in the two westernmost rooms of the row of back houses. Because it was to be used as a study, a crescent door was built between the study and the entire front yard, mainly to allow people from the front yard to enter without disturbing those in the study.
At this moment, Gu Qingqing pointed to the land behind the crescent door in front of the study and said, "Plant it here. When it grows up, it will provide shade for the study in summer, and red persimmons will hang on the branches in autumn. Isn't it a beautiful sight to behold?"
"The branches are like beads, with only thin leaves hanging down. They are colorful and round like cream. Qingqing must have chosen a good place. We will plant here as you say." Wen Wuyan was already imagining the beautiful scenery that Qingqing had just described.
Gu Qingqing had a look of pride on her face and was just about to ask Wen Wuyan to praise her.
"Sister, what are you doing? Hey, brother-in-law is at home." A familiar voice came from the yard.
Gu Qingqing turned her head sharply when she heard the voice, "Hey, Xiaocao, you're here."
"Sister, there's me too. I'm here too." Gu Zhuangzhuang, who was ignored, tried to make himself felt, then looked at Wen Wuyan and called out "Brother-in-law."
Gu Qingqing was so amused by what Gu Zhuangzhuang said, "You are so old, standing there alone, how could I not see that you are here too? Why did you come only today? I thought you should have come yesterday at the latest. Come on, let's sit inside."
After entering the house, Gu Qingqing smelled a special strong smell in the air and asked curiously, "What did you bring? It smells so good and strong."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she sniffed the overly strong aroma in the room and asked.
Lu Xiaocao smiled, then took off the bamboo basket on Gu Zhuangzhuang's back and took out a basket from it, "Mom said that you loved eating spiny dragon buds the most when you were at home. Zhuangzhuang and I will go get some this morning and bring them to sister to try."
The spiny dragon bud is also known as Aralia dasyphylla and spiny dragon bud.
A wild vegetable produced in the mountains, it looks a bit like Chinese toon, has a strong gamey flavor and a sweet and mellow taste.
It is delicious when served cold, stir-fried or grilled with meat.
Gu Qingqing knew where the prickly ash grew in Shuangxi Village. They could get home at this time, which meant they had to go there at dawn tomorrow, otherwise there would not be enough time.
The original owner really loves to eat.
"No wonder I smelled such a familiar smell just now. You two were thoughtful enough to go into the mountains early in the morning to pick some for me. You can have lunch here at noon and then go back. I will use this to roast meat for you at noon."
When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that there was meat?
He swallowed his saliva and was about to nod. Seeing this, Lu Xiaocao beside him secretly pulled his clothes. Gu Zhuangzhuang nodded halfway, looked at Lu Xiaocao, and began to shake his head reluctantly. Even his words were kept silent, as if to say, "Sister, even if you stop me, I don't have to leave."
"No, sister, we have to go back," he said.
Before Gu Qingqing could say anything, Xiao Cao spoke first, "Sister, we won't have dinner here today. Mom is the only one at home. She has to take care of little Gu Qi and do other things. We also want to go back early and grow the sweet potato seedlings the way Sister told us."
Gu Qingqing looked at the sky outside. It was a bit early to have lunch at this time. Finally, she could only agree with her, "Okay, then I won't keep you and Zhuangzhuang here for lunch today. I thought about it after I came back that day. Today I will give you half of the original amount of sweet potatoes, and I will help you cultivate the rest at home, so that we can be prepared for any eventuality. When you can pick the seedlings, you can come or I can go over."
