Chapter 21

Ruan Qiao and Ah Qi walked forward together.

After a few steps, Hui Hui ran over, grabbed Ruan Qiao's clothes, and dragged her to walk behind a big tree beside the path.

His expression was very eager.

Ruan Qiao reached out and touched Hui Hui's head, then quickened her pace.

When he got under the big tree, Ruan Qiao stopped in an instant.

"Zisu?" There was full surprise in her voice.

"My God, such a large area is full of perilla!"

Perilla is a common plant in Ruan Qiao's original world, and it is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. Summer is the time to eat it.

Because this thing has a unique aroma, people who like to eat it will like it very much, and there are many people who can't stand its smell.

Ruan Qiao naturally belongs to the first category.

In the past, in the summer, she liked to go to the vegetable market to buy some grilled fish or scrambled eggs, especially when she occasionally wanted to eat barbecue, she would buy some and wrap the meat with it.

Feel delicious and relieve greasy.

In addition to stir-frying, there are other ways to eat perilla.

For example, my aunt uses it to soak ginger every year, and the tender ginger that is soaked is pink, sour, crunchy and delicious.

Every time Ruan Qiao went home, the aunt would ask her to bring back a big bottle.

Porridge with rice is a must.

And the color of the boiled leaves is also very beautiful. Ruan Qiao also made perilla syrup according to the method taught on the Internet.

Take a spoonful of it when drinking ice water, the color and taste are simply amazing!

Ruan Qiao never expected to get such a big surprise from climbing the mountain today!

Looking at this large piece of basil, she felt that it was worth it to walk such a long distance and sweat so much!

"Hurry up, come over and help me pick it! I just bought meat, let's go back to barbecue!"

"Ah Qi, let's go down the mountain early today, can you catch some fish again?

Don't underestimate this leaf, this grilled fish is very delicious!You go to catch the fish, and I will make it for you to eat when you bring it back!"

Ruan Qiao was so happy, she was so happy that she wanted to turn around in circles.

She immediately began to arrange work for everyone, but no one was not happy,

Her joy spread to everyone.

Without saying a word, Ah Qi picked up the bamboo basket he brought up earlier and began to pick the leaves.

The other little guys also gathered around.

Although they won't pick them, they will still join in the fun.

Seeing this scene, Huihui immediately felt that she was a great hero, and the short tail was shaken by him so much that it was about to turn out flowers.

The head is so high, it is even more about to go to heaven!

He stood closest to Ruan Qiao and squeezed hard against her.

Although he can't speak, Zai Zai'er has one word written all over his body; "Praise me! Praise me!"

It's a pity that Ruan Qiao can't see anything but Zisu in her eyes at this time, she is dazzled by the windfall.

There are all kinds of recipes in my mind.

She has already begun to struggle, whether to stir-fry, deep-fry, or cold salad.

Dazed to ignore Xiao Zai Zai's full-hearted "Please post."

Hui Hui was extremely wronged.

He stared at Ruan Qiao for a long time, and found that the dean didn't even look at him.

The little guy suddenly became unhappy, lowered his body and slammed into Ruan Qiao's arms with his big head.

Ruan Qiao didn't see him at all, and it was even more impossible to guard against him.

The sudden impact made her scream in fright, and she staggered and fell back.

Fortunately, Ah Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed her, otherwise she would have fallen on all fours!

Seeing that Ruan Qiao was being bullied, the other cubs immediately quit.

A few people creaked and rushed towards Huihui, and the five cubs fought into a ball in an instant.

Ruan Qiao was dragged by Ah Qi, and he swayed a few times before he stood still.

She was a little dazed, she didn't understand why she offended Zai Zai, and wanted to lose her temper with herself?

It wasn't until she saw a few children fighting in groups that she realized what she had overlooked just now.

She hurried over to "rescue" Huihui from the encirclement of her little friend, hugged the big head and snorted a few times, then kissed the melon on the head heavily.

Then he said: "I don't blame Huihui today, I was so happy that I forgot to praise our baby. Huihui is amazing, today is a great achievement!

None of you can bully him, we all have to eat the delicious food we found later!"

Knocking down Ruan Qiao was actually unexpected.

So even though he was wronged, he didn't dare to resist when his friends beat him.

Now Ruan Qiao called her "Baby" in front of everyone, and even kissed her.

The little guy's grievances disappeared immediately, and the little hair on his head that didn't know when it grew turned into a light pink because of shyness.

It looks great in the long gray and white fur.

Ruan Qiao was so surprised that she couldn't help reaching out and touching it.

I was even more shocked when found out that the fur had really changed color, and it wasn't stained with any juice.

I couldn't help but started to masturbate again.

"Ah Qi, the gray fur has changed color!" she shouted hastily.

Ah Qi, who was picking perilla leaves, came over when he heard this, touched Huihui's head with his hand, then lowered his head to make a careful distinction, and said, "It seems that we are about to reach the transformation stage."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ruan Qiao: "Take him to show the doctor when you find time."

For a moment, Ruan Qiao felt a huge pressure hit straight from the top of his head.

It made her heart thump.

Although she knew that the ages of the cubs were not much different, they were only a few months apart.

But... can we not rush together!

This can really be overwhelming.

Seeing the worry in Ruan Qiao's eyes, Ah Qi didn't speak, but took her hand and shook it firmly.

That meaning is obvious, telling her: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Ruan Qiao reluctantly returned a smiling face, but the pressure in her heart did not ease a bit.

Who knows when Ah Qi will recover his memory?

If he really recovered, he would still be willing to stay here and take care of these children with him?

Ruan Qiao actually didn't have much hope for this.

Everyone has their own responsibilities and pressures. Obviously, the responsibilities and pressures of the nursing home are their own, not Ah Qi's.

But no matter what, it is not a bad thing for Huihui to enter the transformation stage early, which shows that the little guy's physique has improved.

Only in good health can the transformation be advanced, and in good health, there are more chances of success.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qiao regained his energy and rekindled his fighting spirit.

Although a large piece of perilla grew here, Ruan Qiao didn't let them pick more.

The weather is hot, and if you pick too much, you can't finish it and it won't be fresh.

What's more, the cubs have to go to the mountains to exercise every day, so it's not difficult to pick some back every day.

"Ah Qi, help me dig some roots and take them home. I want to see if they can be planted in our yard."

Ruan Qiao has always known that perilla is a very naughty plant, not picky about water and soil.

No matter if it is a mountainous area, a muddy area, or even that kind of building ruins, as long as one tree takes root, it will multiply in a few years.

She felt that since this thing can grow on the mountain, it shouldn't be a problem to plant it in the yard.

If it is transplanted, it can be planted in a large area next year.

"By the way, Ah Qi, when you come to exercise tomorrow morning, you can pick some more. In the afternoon, let's go to the city together, take Huihui to see the doctor, and see if the purchasing station wants perilla."

Ruan Qiao remembered, and hurriedly gave another instruction.

Ah Qi naturally has no objection.

After picking the perilla, it was getting late, because we were still thinking about making lunch, so we didn't stay in the mountains any longer, we packed up our things and planned to return.

At this moment, Ruan Qiao's cell phone rang.

She took out her mobile phone from her backpack and raised her eyebrows when she saw that it was Jane's call.

Ruan Qiao didn't answer it immediately, but smiled at Ah Qi until he narrowed his eyes.

He said happily: "I posted another set of photos before going to bed last night. Don't Jane see it again? If this is the case, then we will have the money to buy meat next week."

After all, she quickly connected the phone.

Before she had time to speak, Jane asked excitedly: "Ruan Qiao, do you know that the video you posted last night was among the top three hits list!"

"Ah?" Ruan Qiao was taken aback by these words.

She didn't quite understand what the hit list was, and she didn't look at it carefully yesterday.

Hearing Jane's blatant words, my first reaction was——

Very powerful look.

Then without thinking about it, he immediately asked back: "Do you want to repost?"

Jane seemed to be dumbfounded by what she said, and there was a moment of silence on the other side.

It was only then that Ruan Qiao realized that he had given Tulu his thoughts all at once, which seemed a little bad, as if he was forcing someone to make a choice.

She was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Jane, I'm sorry, I have no other meaning.

Mainly when you called, I was discussing with my family what to have for lunch today,

I just bought meat with the manuscript fee you transferred yesterday, so..."

"So, you think I'm going to bring you meat again." Hearing this, Jane smiled and accepted Ruan Qiao's words.

"Really, I made you laugh." Ruan Qiao said the truth, acting frankly.

This actually made Jane respect her a little more.

Of course, she also saw the photos and videos posted by Ruan Qiao.

Not only her, but no one on the entire website hasn't read it yet.

"Buying meat for the cuties" has become the hottest topic on the entire website today, reaching the top ten of the hot search list.

And the two videos posted by Ruan Qiao rushed to the third place in the hit list, and the two sets of photos also entered the front row.

Everyone who watched it, besides being tickled by those fluffy and naive appearances, wishing to rua immediately, was more sad and distressed by the strength and bravery they showed at a young age.

Single people like Jane can't wait to place an order to buy ten catties of meat for the cubs immediately after seeing it!

Not to mention that there are many mothers in the audience of the website.

As a mother, the worst thing to see is that the child suffers.It doesn't matter if you say that their mother's love is overflowing, or anything else.

At least one thing, they are capable and willing to help the children.

From Ruan Qiao's words, Jane could tell that she probably didn't know what happened on the Internet at all.

So he reminded: "Why don't you go to the space to take a look first? Actually, I think you don't have to worry about the children's food in the future. You don't know how many people want to give them meat now. Also,"

Jane paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "My monthly salary is not too high, but I can still buy a few catties of meat for my Diao Bao'er. Don't force him to eat fish, it's too distressing. From now on, I willYue gave him ten catties, oh no, twenty catties of meat, okay?"

Ruan Qiao: "..." Shocked!

After hanging up Jane's phone, Ruan Qiao clicked into his space for the first time, and then saw a cloud of messages.

Because she came late, the previous comments that praised the cuteness of the cubs were suppressed below, and all that can be seen at this time is——

"Cry to death! I just want to ask how can I donate money to the babies? I want to buy meat for them!"

"I want, too!"

"Want to buy meat +1"

"Want to buy meat +2"

"The same question."

"Same question +1"

...

Other than that, it was all crying faces.

Ruan Qiao took a deep breath.

Ah Qi leaned over curiously, and looked back at Ruan Qiao in shock when he saw the rows of crying faces swiping the screen: "What did you post yesterday?"

Ruan Qiao put his hands on his forehead and didn't want to say a word.

She stuffed the phone into Ah Qi's hand: "Look for yourself."

Ah Qi put down the bamboo basket, picked up the phone and browsed forward, and fell into a long silence after reading.

Ruan Qiao beat his head in frustration, and said depressedly: "I really didn't expect this to happen. Although I really want to make money to buy meat, but..."

"But you don't want to accept such help." Ah Qi took up the conversation.

"right."

Although Ruan Qiao was very happy to see the cubs being liked by so many people.

But it never occurred to her to ask for help in this way.

This feeling made her feel like she was... Selling miserably.

This is something she never thought of before posting the video.

Although they are indeed in some difficulties now, they are far from reaching the level where they need others to solicit donations.

The more Ruan Qiao thought about it, the more she regretted it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she did in the previous video was a little thoughtless.

At that time, she was just an old mother mentality, and wanted to show off how well-behaved and sensible her son was.

It was beyond her expectation that things turned out like this.

But it has already happened, what's the use of regretting?

"Let's go down the mountain first, we'll talk about everything after dinner. I think all the meat we bought will be here by now." Ruan Qiao sighed.

Eating is the biggest thing in the world, not to mention finding perilla today and buying so many delicious things.

Ruan Qiao didn't want to ruin the happiness of the whole family because of her emotions.

At this time, the cubs all held their heads up, listening to the two adults with blank expressions.

What they said, the cubs couldn't understand at all.

But they could understand Ruan Qiao's phrase "go home for dinner", and they all regained their energy immediately.

All of them nodded their heads vigorously, their eyes glowing.

Without Ruan Qiao's instructions, Hui Hui and Xiao Wang rushed to Ah Qi's side and pushed their heads against the bamboo basket in his hand.

Xiao Wang even got his hands on it, pulling on the straps of the basket with his front paws, expressing a strong desire to help him carry it.

"No need." Ah Qi reached out and touched the heads of the two little guys, and then pointed to the front with his fingers: "Five minutes, one back and forth, now start counting."

The voice fell away, and the little boy who was fawning just now disappeared in an instant.

And the other three who were still clinging to Ruan Qiao and begging for love also broke up and quickly disappeared under her nose.

Ruan Qiao regained his interest immediately.

She quickly turned on the camcorder: "Come on, let me take these pictures, and when I get back, I will edit them and send them out together, so that everyone can see how good our cubs are!

By the way, Ah Qi, do me a favor later by taking pictures of my cooking and our lunch.I will cook a few dishes today, and I will post them together when the time comes.

Hey, let everyone see, follow us, the cubs are not living in dire straits, relying on our ability can also make the babies eat well and make them eat well.Let everyone not worry too much."

Listening to Ruan Qiao's "we", Ah Qi's slightly pursed lips couldn't help showing a shallow smile.

He didn't reply, but put the backpack on his back again, and gave a soft "hmm".

His footsteps were a little lighter than when he came.

Ruan Qiao's mood also improved a little.

Looking at the video camera in her hand, she thought of the suggestion that Jane mentioned on the phone just now.

"Just now Jane said let's start a live broadcast, did you hear that? What do you think of this?"

"I can do whatever you like." Ah Qi's answer was as simple and crisp as ever.

This is also within Ruan Qiao's expectation.

She considered it and said, "I think it's feasible."

Although Ruan Qiao had a background in agriculture, he didn't pay attention to everything before.

She once had one of her biggest wishes, which was to save money to go to the countryside to buy a piece of land and build a plantation of her own after graduation.

Now that live streaming is so popular, since she has this idea, she naturally pays attention to many agricultural bloggers and anchors.

It even specifically investigated the feasibility of selling agricultural products through live broadcast sales.

Therefore, when Jane asked her to open the live broadcast just now, Ruan Qiao was immediately moved.

Jane hoped that she would open the live broadcast, which must be to attract traffic to the company, but Ruan Qiao suddenly thought of using this method to sell her vegetables that were about to ripen.

When visiting the supermarket before, the difference between the price of fruit in the supermarket and the purchase price left a deep impression on her.

Ruan Qiao felt that the live broadcast would be worthwhile if he could promote his own vegetable garden and strawberries that were about to mature through the live broadcast without giving middlemen the chance to make a difference.

From another point of view, it should be regarded as fulfilling my dream.

Because went out early in the morning, although made a big circle on the mountain, it was only a little past ten o'clock when returned to the nursing home.

Ah Qi took the cubs with a bucket to catch fish according to Ruan Qiao's request, and Ruan Qiao took the time to transplant the perilla brought back to the nursery.

After this period of careful care, the nursery room is already lush and green.

The hyphae of oyster mushrooms have densely entangled the haystack, and it seems that they are about to produce mushrooms.

The lettuce planted, the cabbage has grown several pairs of leaves, and it is almost time to mature.

Tomatoes and strawberries in soilless cultivation are growing very vigorously. Although they are still far from fruiting, just looking at the green leaves can make people feel that the harvest is imminent.

The nursery room can be said to be Ruan Qiao's favorite place to stay.

Although working here is not a worry-free job, on the contrary it is dirty and tiring.

Digging the soil, fertilizing, pinching, catching insects... nothing is easy.

But when doing these things, Ruan Qiao will always feel joy from the bottom of his heart.

This time, instead of using the nutrient soil she bought, she went out with a shovel and dug some ordinary mountain forest soil on the slope where weeded before, and she planned to use this kind of planting.

Because there is a large piece of vigorous growing perilla on the mountain that can be used for experimentation, Ruan Qiao will naturally not be as careful as the strawberry seeds peeled from the fruit.

What's more, she originally wanted to try to see if this thing could be transplanted and planted in large areas, so it was natural to give them a relatively rough environment.

There is nothing more suitable than using mountain forest soil similar to its previous growth environment.

Shovel back a basket of soil and carry it back to the yard, sieve out the grass roots and stones inside, sterilize it, and put it in the planting box...

After finally planting all the perilla seedlings brought back, an hour has passed.

Because the preparations for lunch have been almost done in advance, the chicken has been put into the stew pot, and a large piece of pork belly has been sliced into thin slices, so Ruan Qiao is not in a hurry at this time.

Carefully watered the seedlings again, and then moved them box by box to the shade to let them grow slowly.

It wasn't until she heard the creaking sounds of the little guys outside the courtyard that she packed up the things at hand and went back to the room to take a quick shower.

After washing off her sticky body and changing into dry clothes, Ruan Qiao regained her vitality.

She pulled her hair up high, then took the video camera and walked to the detached house with a kitchen.

"I am coming!"

Pushing open the door, Ruan Qiao yelled inside first.

Then he was attracted by the rich aroma of chicken soup coming out of the house, and couldn't help taking a deep breath intoxicated.

It smells so good!

Ruan Qiao didn't expect the stewed chicken here to taste so delicious!

The taste of this soup made her feel no different from the free-range chicken that my aunt bought before for more than 100 yuan.

This made her suddenly feel that the 80 star coins spent for it were quite worth the money.

As soon as Ruan Qiao walked into the room, Ah Qi came out with a few little guys.

They stood in a row, all looking at her with infinite admiration.

Ah Qi swallowed subconsciously, and said embarrassedly: "What did you cook, and why is it so fragrant?"

"Chicken, didn't I tell you that I bought a chicken? What, you haven't had chicken soup?"

"Chicken?" Ah Qi blinked.

A lot of food related to chicken flashed in front of my eyes.

He tried hard to think about it, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any similarities between the chickens he had eaten and the ones that were stewed in the pot at the moment.

"I haven't eaten." Ah Qi shook his head resolutely.

He believes that if he has eaten such a delicious thing, he will never forget it.
