It's a happy event to share the food today. Lunch was cooked by Xiao's mother. It was a rare opportunity to eat fine food and steamed a pot of large white steamed buns.

I also took out the old bacon that I had marinated before, cut it in half, and used the freshly picked garlic sprouts to make garlic sprouts stir-fried pork. With cabbage vermicelli noodles and green vegetables stir-fried with chili, it's a pretty good meal.

After cooking, Meng Xiaoman separated herself from Xiao Xiangdong as usual.

Unexpectedly, while frying meat with garlic sprouts, Xiao's mother knocked off the chopsticks.

"You can't earn a few work points, but you are very diligent in eating."

Xiao's mother didn't know why, but she felt unhappy when she saw Meng Xiaoman's angry face. Whose daughter-in-law doesn't behave with her tail between her legs in front of her parents-in-law, but she is the only one who talks back to her so much that she doesn't say anything, gets some good things, and doesn't respect her parents-in-law, but she still eats openly.

"If you don't eat diligently, you won't have the energy to earn work points."

Meng Xiaoman pushed back, ignoring Mrs. Xiao's pinching eyes, and continued to pick vegetables with another pair of clean chopsticks.

Zhou Xinghua was also in the kitchen, and when she saw this, she said, "Sister-in-law, you and your third brother don't work much, but you eat a lot." "No other family enjoys more happiness than you two."

When she was counting work points today, she saw that there wasn't much work in the thin work-point books of her siblings, not even one page was filled up.

Thinking of how hard she worked and how much she earned, she had to support her and Xiao Xiangdong. Zhou Xinghua was unhappy.

Although Liu Zhi'er complained in her heart, she had never been one to show off, so she just watched without saying a word. To be honest, she didn't like her sister-in-law very much, she was too lazy, squeamish and unkind.

"Second sister-in-law is right. If you want to enjoy happiness, that's fine. I'll break your legs for you, so you can enjoy happiness at home."

After saying that, regardless of Zhou Xinghua's ugly expression, she picked up the chopsticks, carried the dishes, and left with two white steamed buns.

I don’t know how long the bacon had been there. It was so hard and woody that Meng Xiaoman couldn’t bite it. He only ate one piece, and Xiao Xiangdong ate the remaining pieces.

"You can eat it, I'm not greedy."

"No, you can't bite it off, your cheeks hurt from exhaustion, just eat it."

Seeing that Meng Xiaoman really didn't want to eat, Xiao Xiangdong took off his chopsticks.

After lunch, Meng Xiaoman said something to Xiao Xiangdong, then went up the mountain again with her backpack.

The mountain in the space, except for the persimmon trees, walnut trees and chestnut trees she planted a few days ago, was all bare, which looked like a waste.

You know, the space has aura and the growth rate is very fast. It would be a pity not to plant more things.

Meng Xiaoman plans to transplant something more into it.

She didn't know many plants in the mountains, but as long as they were fruit-bearing and pleasing to the eye, she transplanted one or two of them.

She only knows a little more about transplants.

such as:

The red pyracantha fruit has many seeds and less flesh, and can be used to make wine.

The bright yellow sea buckthorn fruit is a wild sand fruit that is several sizes smaller than an apple.

There is also dogwood which is very similar to wolfberry.

A wild kiwi that is slightly smaller than the average kiwi.

And the ripe longevity fruit, also called guaizao.

and many more.

However, although the jujubes are now ripe, they do not taste very good. They are only truly ripe after frost in late autumn.

Meng Xiaoman wrote down the location of the jujube tree, planning to pick it after the frost. Then she found a few small jujube saplings and planted them in the space.

In fact, many plants on the mountain can be used as medicinal materials, but Meng Xiaoman didn't know them and didn't have the energy to transplant them all into the space, so he had to give up temporarily.

Currently, edible wild fruits are more attractive to her.

Fortunately, autumn is the season when many wild fruits mature. Otherwise, looking at these similar trees and shrubs, she really couldn't tell what kind of trees they were.

While searching, Meng Xiaoman also found a wild grapevine with two bunches of black and purple grapes hanging on it.

I picked one and tasted it. It was ripe and very sweet.

Meng Xiaoman picked both bunches, broke off two grape branches, and inserted them into the mountain of space.

The vines could be transplanted from cuttings, so she didn't have to plow the trees.

On the way down the mountain, Meng Xiaoman picked up some wild walnuts and chestnuts, which could be used to make porridge or stir-fry.

When I walked to the door of my house, I heard women talking and laughing from the yard.

When I entered the courtyard, I found Xiao Xixi and Zhao Xiaohe, who were sitting under the eaves and making female celebrities.

I don’t know what was said, and the two of them made a fuss.

"Third brother, do you remember? Another time, you were injured while going into the mountains. Sister Xiaohe saw it and came back to call you. You see, you two are so destined."

"Xixi, stop talking, I just happened to see it." Zhao Xiaohe's face turned red when she said it, and he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xiangdong who was weaving bamboo from the corner of his eyes.

"I really need to thank you that time, otherwise your brother and I would have to spend the night in the mountains."

At that time, Xiao Xiangdong had not yet joined the army. He was a half-year-old boy with an appetite as big as a cow. There were many people in his family, but he was not favored at home and did not have enough to eat every day. So I often go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables and fruits. If I'm lucky, I can catch a pheasant and a rabbit for the tooth festival.

At the beginning, he had no experience and went up the mountain with Zhao Xiaohe's brother Zhao Erlei. The two accidentally fell into a hunter's trap and injured their legs.

Just when Zhao Xiaohe came to look for her brother, she heard the two calling for help and went down the mountain to call for help to get them out.

"Yes, Sister Xiaohe is a kind-hearted person. I don't know how much better than someone else. Third brother, tell me, it would be great if Sister Xiaohe could be my sister-in-law." Xiao Xixi said, looking at Meng who was washing his hands provocatively. Xiaoman glanced at him.

"Xiao Xixi, don't talk nonsense, your only sister-in-law is Xiaoman." Xiao Xiangdong said sharply.

Xiao Xixi was so frightened by him that she fell silent, pouted and stopped talking.

Xiao Xiangdong saw that Meng Xiaoman's face was as usual and lifeless, and he felt reassured and a little unhappy at the same time.

It seems that she doesn't care about the identity of this "sister-in-law" at all.

"You're back? Are you tired? There's boiling water on the table, it should be right in your mouth."

"Okay." Meng Xiaoman drank the water and washed the bowl of grapes, then took the bench and sat next to Xiao Xiangdong to watch him work.

"I'm lucky today. I picked two bunches of wild grapes. Here, try them. They're really sweet."

Meng Xiaoman handed the bowl to him.

"You eat first, my hands are dirty." Xiao Xiangdong said.

"It's okay, I'll feed you."

As he spoke, he pinched a round, dark purple grape with his white fingertips and handed it to his mouth.

The gleaming white and the dark purple form a wonderful color contrast.

Xiao Xiangdong didn't know what he was thinking of, and his eyes were a little unnatural.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Meng Xiaoman took the grapes closer.

Xiao Xiangdong was not used to such intimate movements, and with the presence of outsiders, his ears turned red, but he could not ignore her kindness, so he had to open his mouth.

The abundant juice explodes in your mouth, and the fruity and sweet aroma fills your entire mouth.

Xiao Xiangdong immediately felt that this was the most delicious grape he had ever tasted in his life.

Meng Xiaoman ate a few pills for herself and fed a few pills to Xiao Xiangdong.

Xiao Xiangdong went from being unnatural at the beginning to looking forward to enjoying it at the end.

The sweet interaction between the two made Xiao Xixi grit her teeth and hurt Zhao Xiaohe's eyes.
