Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband
Chapter 240 Understanding
Mother Zhou brought out a plate of golden cakes dotted with a few emerald green leaves, which looked extremely tempting.
Everyone tasted it and praised it highly. The simple taste seemed to contain the most primitive gift of nature, which made people feel emotional.
In this small village far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, simple food and sincere emotions are interwoven into warm pictures, making people forget worldly troubles and leaving only gratitude and cherishment for the beauty of life.
"This is our gift. Really, if you keep declining, I'm afraid I won't be able to speak later. Please lead us to explore the secret place where the cowpea grows."
Ran He smiled brightly as he spoke, with a hint of playfulness and sincerity in his words, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed.
Mother Zhou was amused by these words. The reservedness in her heart seemed to be melted away by the warm spring sun, and was replaced by a warm and comfortable atmosphere, and her whole body softened.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's a small matter. I'll go find your uncle Zhou now. Those cowpeas are all his work. He always goes up the mountain to pick them early in the morning. Other people in the village may miss out on such delicacies because they don't know them or don't dare to try them. We only pick some when we can't find other food to fill our stomachs."
As Mother Zhou was speaking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have inadvertently revealed the difficulties of life. Her cheeks flushed slightly and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.
Ran He smiled like a blooming spring flower, with a gleam of understanding and sympathy in his eyes: "The taste of the cowpea is no less delicious than that of ordinary cabbage. Anything that can fill our stomachs, no matter how expensive or cheap, is a precious gift bestowed upon us by nature."
Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly, feeling touched. "That's exactly what I mean. Every kind of food has its unique value."
So, Mother Zhou called her second son and told him to go to the field and find his father who was working there.
Not long after, a thin and tall man with slightly dark skin due to years of exposure to the sun appeared in the house. He looked at the uninvited guest in the living room with a slightly uneasy expression.
When Zhou's mother saw her husband coming back, she quickly stepped forward to introduce them: "These are Lizi's classmates and their families. They are very interested in the wild cowpeas in our mountains. You can take them to see how those beans grow tenaciously."
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he thought that everyone wanted to pick them themselves, so he quickly explained, "At this time of year, the wild cowpeas are not yet ripe. I'm afraid it would be a waste of effort if we went there. We have to wait at least another two months."
However, Ran He and his friends did not mind and responded sincerely: "It's okay, we just want to see their growing environment with our own eyes."
Seeing this, Zhou Li also asked his father: "Dad, please lead the way."
Father Zhou thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay, let's go for a walk."
Mother Zhou stayed at home and carefully reminded the father and son before they left: "Walk slowly on the road, be sure to take good care of them, and don't let anyone get hurt."
Father Zhou nodded naively, thinking about how to get home as soon as possible to prepare lunch. After all, the guests came from far away, and he couldn't let them go hungry. But he didn't know how to explain his family's situation to these people from the city.
"Um, about lunch..."
Mr. Zhou looked embarrassed and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan smiled heartily and comforted Father Zhou: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, we brought some dry food with us. If all else fails, we can still find some game to barbecue in the mountains."
The little kid nodded and repeated innocently, "We want to eat game."
When Mr. Zhou heard them talk so nonchalantly about it, he sighed inwardly, thinking that these outsiders had no idea of the hardships and difficulties of living in the mountains.
It is not so easy to catch wild game. Even experienced hunters cannot guarantee a good harvest every time they go into the mountains.
These thoughts only flashed through Zhou's father's mind, and he said no more. He decided to rely on his own abilities and try to find some game to entertain his friends from afar.
So, while Uncle Zhou was leading the way on the rugged mountain road, he also looked back and reminded everyone: "Everyone, watch your step, the mountain road is not easy to walk on."
The little ball was extremely excited to step into such a natural environment for the first time. He made childish humming sounds and playfully pulled Wu Xu's beard from time to time.
Uncle Zhou was observing all this from the side and was quite amazed.
Wu Xu always gives people the impression of being so cold, but unexpectedly he is surprisingly tolerant towards children, letting the little ones play and frolic.
In this way, the group walked through forests and across mountains for more than an hour and finally came to an open area.
The terrain here is relatively flat, surrounded by dense bushes with vine-like plants entwined among them, clinging tightly to the sturdy trees.
Ran He had sharp eyes and spotted those bean-like plants at a glance. Their appearance was quite different from common beans, and even the color of their flowers was different.
Uncle Zhou pointed to the climbing vines and introduced them, "Look, that's the wild beans I mentioned. They are just branches now, and it will take about two months for them to bear fruit. Every year at this time, I come here to pick them. Other people in the village don't dare to eat them, but my family likes them the most."
Zhou Li gently tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and Uncle Zhou then realized that he might have said too much, and couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
Ran He was deeply attracted by these wild long beans, and Wu Xu also understood what he meant. He turned to Uncle Zhou and suggested: "There seem to be animal footprints over there. Why don't we go over and see what's going on?"
Uncle Zhou nodded in agreement, "Good idea!"
Then he did not forget to instruct Zhou Li, "Lizi, you stay here and take care of everyone."
At this time, Ran He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and handed the little meatball to Nian Xia to take care of, and told Mo Zhu to prepare the barbecue grill. She quietly took out a small shovel and began to carefully dig the wild bean seedlings on the ground.
She secretly transferred the dug seedlings one by one into her own special space.
Just as Ran He was concentrating on digging, he did not notice that a small figure was approaching quietly.
"Mommy."
Suddenly, a childish call broke the silence, and Ran He was so scared that he almost dropped the shovel in his hand.
When he looked up, he found that the little meatball had rubbed against him without him noticing, "Why are you here?"
The little meatball tapped Ran He's hand with his finger, and then pointed at the bean seedlings that had just been dug out, "Mommy, are you hiding something fun?"
Ran He was shocked. He didn't expect that this little guy was so smart that even the slightest movement could not escape his eyes.
She coughed lightly, and the slight sound in her throat created ripples in the quiet air.
After a moment's silence, she gently held the little one in her arms, her loving eyes seemed to be able to contain all the innocence and beauty in the world.
She leaned over and whispered in the little one's ear. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but it was filled with indescribable magic: "Because Mommy can perform magic tricks."
