When Su Wei arrived at Zhangjiapo Brigade, she was overly enthusiastic towards Zhang Qingzhu and brought many things that shouldn't be in this era. Zhang Qingzhu was shocked to find that something seemed to be different, at least the heroine seemed to be a little bit wrong.

Zhang Qingzhu thought about it again. She didn't take the original work seriously anyway. Just do your own thing and let other things take their course. There was no need to hinder your judgment because of the existence of the original work.

No matter whether the original has changed beyond recognition, as long as she lives happily, it's fine. With an extra life, she can live as happily as she wants. Of course, these are all later stories. Zhang Qingzhu is still sweating in the space training room.

Zhang Qingzhu practiced in the training room all night. His martial arts skills had improved a lot. It was another night of hard work to become stronger. The next day, before leaving the space, he took a good bath in the hot spring. He left the space refreshed and started a new day.

When Zhang Qingzhu came out of the room, Zhang Qingsong had already gotten up and started cooking. It must be said that Zhang Qingsong was a good kid, and he really worked hard to get a good thigh.

When Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong set up the table and were about to eat, Zhang Cai came over with a cart. There were several jars of pickled vegetables on it. Zhang Qingsong helped Zhang Cai unload them and opened them. Wow, every jar was filled with side dishes and various sauces.

These were enough for him and Zhang Qingzhu to eat for half a year. He was very touched. Fourth uncle and fourth aunt were still the best. Obviously, Zhang Qingsong didn't know that these were made for Zhang Qingzhu alone, and there was no portion for him at all.

After seeing Zhang Cai off, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong had a nice breakfast. Zhang Qingsong was very happy now. Living with Zhang Qingzhu, his food standard was more than doubled compared to when he was at home.

When he was at home, he could only eat enough, but with Zhang Qingzhu, Zhang Qingsong felt that the bacon Zhang Qingzhu brought from Shanghai and the meat sauce Zhang Cai and his friends had just sent would be enough for him and Zhang Qingzhu to have meat every day for half a year.

He had never dared to think about this before. But now, he had realized his wish of eating meat every day. He must behave well and not let his cousin down. Even if there were no other benefits, just being able to eat meat every day was not a loss for him.

After dinner, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong began to clean up the yard. Although Zhang Xue and his friends helped Zhang Qingzhu clean up the house before he came back, they only simply cleared the weeds in the front yard and repaired the tiles on the roof.

Only the sleeping area in the main house was cleaned up, and the other vegetable gardens were not cleaned up. Zhang Qingzhu needed to clean it up by himself and plant vegetables that could be grown in this season.

So the main task today is to tidy up the vegetable garden at home, and then find some vegetable seedlings from the village to plant. In this way, we will have vegetables to eat in the second half of the year, so we don't have to spend money to buy vegetables just to eat.

Zhang Qingzhu's family has two vegetable gardens, one in front and one in the back, with enough space to grow vegetables. It is early August now, and it is just the right time to grow some vegetables that can be grown in this season, such as cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, beans, eggplants, spinach, etc.

Zhang Qingzhu was tidying up the vegetable garden, thinking that after clearing the weeds in the garden, he could go directly to the villagers to exchange for vegetable seedlings. Now is the season for planting autumn vegetables, and every household should have extra vegetable seedlings that cannot be used up, so it should not be difficult to exchange some.

Because Zhang Qingsong was there, Zhang Qingzhu couldn't use her wood ability to work, so she could only weed manually. Fortunately, she had prepared before coming to the countryside, so she wasn't stumped by farm work.

At this time, the powerful pills he had taken and the martial arts he had practiced came in handy. Zhang Qingzhu was now very good at pulling out weeds, very quickly, and not feeling that tired. His performance was no worse than Zhang Qingsong, who was used to doing farm work. After mastering the essentials, he even did better than Zhang Qingsong.

Zhang Qingzhu's performance had a great impact on Zhang Qingsong. Zhang Qingsong saw that Zhang Qingzhu went from being unfamiliar with weeding to being proficient in it in less than half an hour.

Zhang Qingsong felt that excellent people really learn everything quickly. He had been doing farm work since he was a child, but now he felt that he was not as good as his cousin. He still needed to work hard and could not be outdone by his cousin in doing farm work.

Zhao Yanhong and Shen Yuzhen came when Zhang Qingsong and Zhang Qingzhu were working. After seeing Zhang Qingzhu working well and not being outdone by Zhang Qingsong, they had the same thought in their minds: This can't be the eldest brother's child, he is good at everything, he is amazing.

When Zhang Qingzhu saw Zhao Yanhong and Shen Yuzhen coming over, he asked Zhang Qingsong to stop and rest for a while, drink some water, and then continue working. Zhang Qingzhu and Shen Yuzhen came out of the garden one after another, washed their hands, and walked to the main room.

Zhang Qingzhu invited Zhao Yanhong and Shen Yuzhen to come in and sit down. After entering the main room, Zhao Yanhong sat down on the kang skillfully, and Shen Yuzhen also sat down beside the kang. In the middle of the kang in Zhang Qingzhu's main room was a kang table, which was used to place tea and snacks when entertaining guests.

Zhang Qingzhu was about to bring some water and snacks, but Zhang Qingsong was very discerning and poured water on the table. After pouring the water, Zhang Qingsong sat down on the wooden sofa on the floor of the main hall, drank tea and rested. Seeing this, Zhang Qingzhu could only go into the bedroom to get some snacks and candies.

Zhao Yanhong and Shen Yuzhen had different thoughts when they saw Zhang Qingsong's behavior. Zhao Yanhong felt that her silly son really didn't treat her as an outsider, but as his own home.

Fortunately, Qingzhu didn't mind. If it were someone else's house, the tea leaves would be very precious. No one would be so generous as to make tea for people who came. A little tea leaves would be very good.

But I have to say that Qingzhu's tea is really delicious. Only Qingzhu's family can afford such good tea, and the tea they drink is sent by their eldest brother. Other families don't have such conditions, and it is great to have sweet water to entertain guests.

Shen Yuzhen wondered if her second sister-in-law would have any objections to Zhang Qingzhu ordering Zhang Song around like this, and wondered if she should tell Qingzhu about it. Even if he was her cousin, she couldn't order him around like this.

After looking at Zhao Yanhong's face and seeing that she didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Qingsong's behavior, she gave up the idea of ​​persuading Zhang Qingzhu. If the mother didn't think there was anything wrong with her son's behavior, she wouldn't worry about it.

The Shen family was a well-off family, so Shen Yuzhen didn't think it was wrong to make tea for outsiders. Her family also used tea leaves to entertain guests, but they used different tea leaves for different guests.

So Zhao Yanhong didn't think about the tea at all, and didn't take Zhang Qingsong's busy work seriously. In Zhao Yanhong's mind, it's okay for boys to do more work, they should be more diligent.
