Chapter 19: Digging for Herbs
When Jiang Xiaoya saw Jiang Xiaoxin eating wild fruit, she pointed with her little finger and immediately spat: "Bah, bah..."
“Xiaoya also wants to eat?”
Li Jing helped the little girl wipe her saliva in a funny way, "It's not ripe now, so you can't eat it."
“Eat, my sister eats fruit.”
Jiang Xiaoxin ran over with "thump, thump, thump", raising his little hands high, but unfortunately, he couldn't put it into Jiang Xiaoya's mouth even when he stood on tiptoes.
Li Jing hugged Jiang Xiaoya who was restless and wanted to eat the green nightshade fruit. She avoided Jiang Xiaoxin's hand and squinted at Er Zaizai, who seemed to him to be uneasy and kind-hearted. "You know it's sour and you feed Xiaoya?"
“My sister likes to eat sour fruits. You don’t know that my sister likes to eat sour fruits!”
Jiang Xiaoxin was unconvinced, "If you don't believe me, let my sister try it!"
Li Jing still didn’t let Jiang Xiaoya eat it, “Eating such unripe wild fruits will cause stomach upset, so don’t let Xiaoya eat them in the future.”
After saying that, he hugged Jiang Xiaoya and left.
Jiang Xiaoxin pouted, "It won't hurt if you eat one. I eat it often, okay? Besides, it will be gone when it matures. There are many people in the village watching it!"
The most important thing is that Xiaoya was not allowed to eat, so why didn’t she say anything when he ate?
Jiang Xiaoxin hummed in grievance.
“If it’s gone, don’t eat it!”
Li Jing patted Jiang Xiaoya on the back and said, "Hey, dear, that fruit is inedible. Can you find some edible fruit for you?"
Jiang Xiaoya was easy to coax, and when Li Jing said this, she stopped making trouble. Jiang Xiaoxin, on the other hand, hummed far away at first, but when Li Jing ignored him, he stood in front of her and hummed.
Li Jing glanced down at him, raised her hand and poked the disobedient little kid on the forehead, "Why are you humming? You are not allowed to eat anymore."
Jiang Xiaoxin blinked, turned around and threw away the nightshade fruit in his hand, "I didn't want to eat it either, it's so sour!"
Turning his back, he couldn't help but smile.
“Huh? Brother, why haven’t you caught up yet? You’re too slow!”
“Hey, wait for me! Why are you walking so fast?”
Li Jing walked in front with Jiang Xiaoya in her arms. Jiang Xiaowen was behind with a kitchen knife and a basket. He saw familiar herbs picked and put into the basket. Jiang Xiaowen would know that these herbs were taught by Liu Shengyun, and he had told him what herbs to pick to treat Qi Ming'an's illness last night.
Li Jing’s steps were long, and Jiang Xiaoxin trotted to follow closely. Jiang Xiaowen, who was walking while collecting herbs, naturally couldn’t keep up with the team, and soon fell behind.
It wasn’t until Jiang Xiaoxin shouted at the top of his lungs that he roughly knew the direction they were going.
“Brother, hurry up. Why are you so slow? What are you doing?”
“Just come!”
Jiang Xiaowen took a breath and picked the whole herb as fast as possible before walking again.
And Jiang Xiaoxin had already ran back impatiently.
“Brother, why are you so ink? She didn’t even wait for us. Why are you picking these things? These things can’t be eaten!”
Jiang Xiaoxin rummaged through the basket and saw that the things inside were all grass, so he threw it back.
“This is dandelion, this is rhizome, this is turngrass, and you should know thatch root. These are herbs that reduce phlegm and relieve cough, clear away heat and detoxify.”
Jiang Xiaoxin's eyes suddenly widened, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was covered by Jiang Xiaowen.
Jiang Xiaoxin muttered, but still asked hesitantly: "Have you made the same old habit again?"
"It's good that you know. I'll pick up more and send them over later. You and..."
“I know, I know, brother, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have let you follow me!”
Jiang Xiaoxin interrupted Jiang Xiaowen anxiously and made his own arrangements.
"As long as I'm here, you go pick these grasses quickly. You don't have to follow me. I'll go tell her and I'll go back and see...Grandpa, oh, by the way, give me the kitchen knife. She said she wanted to use the kitchen knife!"
Took Jiang Xiaowen's knife for digging herbs, Jiang Xiaoxin turned around and hurried after Li Jing.
Jiang Xiaowen: “…”
