Chapter 144 Passion
Take your time with beekeeping, treat it as an experiment first, then go back and look for any books on beekeeping, and experiment slowly. She remembered that to raise a bee, you need to have enough pollen. The village is so big and there are many plants. As long as it is not There are too many species, there is no shortage of pollen, and then there is the climate. Bees seem to be afraid of water, so they just need to be far away from the water. That's about it. Keep them first. As long as you don't put the bees where there is water, you can raise them if you want. Death is not that easy. At most, it produces less honey.
"When the bees produce honey later, I'll give it to you." Shen Ruomei said to Xie Kai with a smile.
Xie Kai nodded. Both of them were so confident that Shen Ruomei would raise the bees successfully. However, they forgot that the bees might not survive, but they might fly away. Of course, the nest is here, and most of them will come back.
After returning home, Shen Ruomei went directly to the carpenter in the village to exchange some wooden boards and then started busy making beehives. Xie Kai also helped along. Zhang Chunniang was very happy to see this. The girl Ruomei was the first to be pursued by others. Will she have the opportunity to experience the mother-in-law making things difficult for her son-in-law?
Then Zhang Chunniang shook her head violently and said, "What a embarrassment. Why would such a good child make things difficult for him? Isn't this bullying an honest person?"
Such a good son-in-law cannot be allowed to run away. He must be kinder to him, even better, and let him know how good the Shen family is, so that he will not run away.
The two of them worked for a long time and finally finished the beehive and placed it in the vegetable field in the backyard. Shen Ruomei looked at her backyard and saw that there were more and more things in her small backyard.
Zhang Chunniang watched beside her, feeling very happy. Her daughter was really good, she could do everything, and more importantly, she had found a good son-in-law. Xie Kai was a little embarrassed by Zhang Chunniang's fiery eyes.
"Xie Kai, look at you. You are sweating profusely. You are here to be a guest. So Ruomei is not sensible. You are working in Laojiao. Auntie made you some brown sugar water. Drink some quickly." Zhang Chunniang said. She happily said over a bowl of brown sugar water, "The more my mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes."
"Thank you, Auntie." Xie Kai hurriedly took the bowl and took a sip. However, after finishing the drink, he felt that it was very sweet and greasy in his mouth.
"What's wrong? It tastes bad?" Shen Ruomei couldn't help but ask when she saw Xie Kai frowning.
"No, it tastes good." Sugar water is a good thing. Generally, people only serve sugar water when they have distinguished guests. And the sweeter the sugar water is, the more they value you. How can you say it doesn't taste good? People value you. .
"Xie Kai, I see you drank very quickly. Is it not enough? I'll make some more for you." Zhang Chunniang asked with concern.
Xie Kai's face really couldn't stand up when he heard this. He felt that the sugar water in his stomach was still rising, and he couldn't suppress the sweetness in his mouth. He really couldn't drink anymore. What the hell is Auntie doing? How much sugar is put in it?
He was very happy that he valued him so much, but he didn't like eating sweet things, so this would be really hard to resist.
Shen Ruomei didn't understand when she saw that. Xie Kai didn't like drinking sugar water, so she couldn't help but said, "Mom, why don't you ask me if I want to drink it?"
"Xie Kai is a guest, and you have the nerve to steal the guest's food and drink, you are shameless." Zhang Chunniang rolled her eyes and looked at her daughter with disgust. Although she said she was disgusted, she still went to make sugar water.
Soon Zhang Chunniang made another bowl of sugar water and said, "Drink."
Shen Ruomei took the sugar water directly. To be honest, the brown sugar water in this era didn't look very good. It looked like turbid dirty water.
Shen Ruomei picked it up and took a sip first, but couldn't take it anymore. "Mom, how much sugar did you put in? You don't want to drink it for me. Whose sugar water is so sweet, it's boring to death." Shen Ruomei handed the sugar water back to Zhang Chunniang in disgust, "Add more water and give it to the little ones at home."
She finally understood why Xie Kai had that expression. No wonder it was hard to swallow his expression of drinking medicine.
"You heartless person, isn't it sweet? Others can't even eat it even if they want it." Zhang Chunniang said angrily, took it over and took a sip. Oh my god, it seems to be too sweet. .
Thinking about Xie Kai, she drank in the same way before. As a result, Xie Kai drank it in one gulp and said it tasted good, which made Shen Ruomei dislike her. As expected, she was not lucky enough to have a little cotton-padded jacket, and she was all evil-hearted.
Zhang Chunniang took the tea and left directly. Shen Ruomei walked up to Xie Kai and said very embarrassedly: "If you don't like drinking sugar water, don't force it. In fact, Wo Niang is also easy to talk to. You can just say it."
Xie Kai quickly shook his head when he heard this, "It's not that I don't like drinking sugar water, I just have never drunk sugar water that is so sweet."
Shen Ruomei smiled after hearing this, "My mother likes you. She values food the most. Only if she likes you will she be willing to give you food. Beixiang, who doesn't like it, asks for a melon seed shell from her hand."
Xie Kai smiled and nodded, "I know." He also felt it, but he was too enthusiastic.
"It's getting dark, I'm going back." Xie Kai looked at the sky and clapped his hands.
"Let's go back after dinner." Shen Ruomei couldn't help but say. She obviously planned to take Xie Kai to have some fun, so why did she end up doing work for her? She felt embarrassed.
"No, thank you for staying with me all day today. I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry. I'd better go back early. It's dark and the road is difficult." Xie Kai smiled softly.
Today's roads are indeed difficult to walk on. They are all dirt roads. Dirt roads are easily uneven. It is really difficult to walk on them when it is dark. There are no street lights in this era. Even if there is a flashlight, the brightness of the flashlight is limited.
He was in a really good mood today. Before he said he couldn't let go, he was a little bit reluctant to let go. But after he actually got the document to sever ties, he knew that it was good to end the relationship and completely no longer have any relationship. He was free.
"That's okay, but I picked up a lot of mushrooms today and brought them back." Shen Ruomei said simply.
Xie Kai didn't refuse, "Okay." There was nothing to refuse between him and Shen Ruomei. Shen Ruomei would be angry if he refused, so it was good to reciprocate the courtesy.
Zhang Chunniang was very reluctant to hear Xie Kai say she was leaving, "Ruomei, why don't you let Xie Kai stay at home to eat? If you're not afraid of not having a place to sleep, you can sleep in the room next to it. You can go to town early tomorrow." ." Zhang Chunniang couldn't bear to leave Xie Kai like this.
People are busy busy, and then when the work is done, they are told to get out, without even a bite of food for them to eat. Even the landlords do not exploit people in this way.
