Chapter 614
Empress Changsun nodded, with similar feelings, "I feel isolated from the world, without any worries, resting very peacefully, without other messy things."
"That's it, my father-in-law is also an interesting person..."
Xiao Ran also got up with the two little princesses, and saw Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang sitting next to grandma.
The little princess looked at the stove, and was a little disappointed that she didn't see a big basin. There was only a kettle blackened by smoke on it.
"Grandma, good morning~"
The little princess squeezed next to grandma, and Li Lizhi had to move to the side.
"Little Mingda is awake too." Grandma picked up the little princess.
The little princess looked at the stove and frowned, "Grandma, I miss the sweet potatoes~"
The little princess has been thinking about the old potatoes for feeding pigs.
It's just that the pigs are now fed by the third grandfather's family, and there are no old potatoes at grandma's house. There are basically no potatoes from last year in this season.
Generally, there are around the Dragon Boat Festival. Now new potatoes have begun to be dug on a large scale, and they are long gone.
"There are no old potatoes at home, Mingda, how about eating new ones?"
"But I miss them so much~" The little princess waved her hands.
"Mingda has always missed the old potatoes and likes to eat them. They are very sweet when cooked." Xiao Ran smiled, "Mingda, there are no more of them. We will have them next spring."
Grandma didn't expect the little princess to like them. "I don't know if your second grandfather has any. I'll ask later. They should be out of stock at this time."
Grandma is not sure either. Generally speaking, she knows how many potatoes to keep. She sells the biggest ones because they are expensive. She keeps some seeds for people and livestock.
There won't be too many left. It's estimated that they will be enough until the potatoes come out next year.
"Grandma, don't bother. There are no more sizi now. We'll eat them next year." Li Lizhi pinched the little princess's nose.
"The water is boiling!" Princess Chengyang pointed to the kettle that was steaming, and the lid was blowing.
"Mingda, wash up, we're going out to pick chestnuts, if we go too late there won't be any left." Xiao Ran changed the subject, and the little princess stopped worrying about the potato issue.
"Yeah, yeah~"
The little princess got down from her grandmother's arms and followed Xiao Ran to wash up.
Princess Yuzhang got up and took the things to wash up.
The conditions were a bit tough, but there was a different flavor and experience.
Xiao Ran was afraid that it would rain here, and it was normal for it to be rainy here in a few months, so he prepared raincoats and rain boots in advance.
Xiao Ran also wanted to take a few princesses to experience it.
These things were all in Datang, and Xiao Ran went to the car and brought the things over.
"Oh, Xiao Ran, you brought raincoats and rain boots?" Grandma was shocked.
"I was afraid of rain and wanted to pick chestnuts, so I prepared in advance. I bought it when I was in the county town, but I didn't expect to use it."
Grandma reached out and touched it, "This quality looks good, it should be very expensive."
It's indeed not cheap, all of good quality.
"Not bad." Xiao Ran took out a set of pink frog raincoats and gave it to the little princess, "Mingda, this is yours, and water shoes, put them on."
"This is the second sister's." Xiao Ran distributed them to others in turn.
Xiao Ran knew the types that several people liked, and he was quite satisfied with the raincoats he bought.
If these things were placed in the Tang Dynasty, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang would not know about it.
Princess Gaoyang also rubbed her eyes and came out.
"Brother!"
"Grandma!"
"Well, Seventeen, wash up, put on the raincoat and these, we'll go out." Xiao Ran said.
"Okay." Princess Gaoyang took the raincoat and her sleepiness dissipated a lot.
Grandma brought a small basket, which she had used when picking mushrooms before.
"Hee hee~" the little princess happily ran to her grandmother, "Grandma, hold it for me~"
"Okay!"
One for each of the two little princesses. These are old items. Xiao Ran used them when he was a child. They were very sturdy before.
This was bought nearby. There are very good bamboo craftsmen near the village who are good at weaving these things. The quality is very good.
After all, they are sold to people nearby. If the quality is not good, it will ruin their reputation.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also put on raincoats and rain boots and came out.
Princess Gaoyang took a look. Hers and Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang's are very ordinary, but the color is not quite the same.
The two little princesses' are very cute and cartoon-style.
"Brother, Sizi's is beautiful, and Ermei's is also beautiful. Mine is not beautiful at all."
"Hee hee~ Xiao Nangjun bought it for me~" The little princess was very proud and felt that this was a great thing.
"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Ran pulled the little princess, "Seventeen, the cute one is smaller, you should wear something bigger, this small one won't fit you."
Xiao Ran also explained.
"Grandma, we'll go first."
"Okay, OK! Come back early, the road is slippery after the rain, be careful on the road..." Grandma instructed a few people at the door, watching Xiao Ran and the princesses walk away.
Xiao Ran took the sickle and cut a relatively long bamboo in the bamboo forest next to him.
This kind of bamboo doesn't grow big, the thickest is only the thickness of a thumb, Xiao Ran has never seen a too thick one.
"Brother, what are you doing with this?" Princess Yuzhang asked.
"Not only pick up the ones on the ground, but also use this to knock down the ones on the trees if they are almost ripe! ”
“Wow~ So good~ I want one too~” The little princess looked at the long bamboo and wanted one too.
“Mingda, this one is fine if you have it, it’s very heavy…”
Xiao Ran took the bamboo pole and sickle, pulled the little princess and several other princesses into the woods.
It felt wet and the dew was heavy, but fortunately they all had rain boots.
Compared to before, there was an extra layer of dead leaves in the woods this season.
It felt a bit more bleak.
“Little man, isn’t this a chestnut tree?” Li Lizhi pointed.
“Yes, this is it.” Xiao Ran looked up and saw, “But it’s not ripe yet, the thorns haven’t cracked, and there can’t be any on the ground.”
“Brother, look.” Princess Gao Yang pointed excitedly not far away, “It’s ripe over there, I saw the black chestnuts in the thorns.”
“Wow~” The little princess also saw it.
“Well, let’s go over and take a look!” Xiao Ran pulled the little princess, “This is a slope, be careful not to slip. "
Xiao Ran reminded Li Lizhi and the others.
The two little princesses were holding the bamboo basket, and Li Lizhi was holding Princess Chengyang.
Princess Yuzhang was worried and held Princess Gaoyang's arm.
"Sister, I saw it." Princess Chengyang squatted down and picked up a chestnut from the dead leaves on the ground.
"Wow~" the little princess was very excited, "Second sister is so awesome~"
The little princess is the atmosphere group, the kind with the highest emotional value.
"Mingda, let's look for it too." Xiao Ran looked at the tree.
Several princesses lowered their heads and looked carefully.
"Little Nangjun~ I saw it~" the little princess picked up one, "This one has it too~"
The little princess squatted down excitedly and put the chestnut in the basket.
Several other princesses also found it, and there were quite a few on the ground.
It rained last night, and the wind was strong. The chestnuts fell down when the thorns were cracked and the chestnuts were well ripe.
