Chapter 363: Long Wait
When they returned home at sunset, the number of places in the small army entering the mountains did not decrease but increased, and the children made up their minds to start collecting mountain goods in the team tomorrow, and they also had a small autumn harvest.
Guan Ping'an rolled his eyes and smiled without saying a word.
There is a lot of harvest in a whole day, hazelnuts alone, there are six sacks, and one sack is more than 150 catties. Well, it and Songta are not in a hurry to deal with it.
Put it in the barn for a few days, wait for the skin to turn a little yellow, spread the hazelnuts on the ground, beat them with sticks, and the fresh hazelnuts will come out.
But what about all kinds of mushrooms.
You always have to clean up the mushroom roots and dry the mushrooms with thread, not to mention finding the mushroom rings today, plus the fungus is six big baskets.
There are also those mountain grapes piled up like hills, and all kinds of herbs that have just been dug up......
Do you want to call your friends up the mountain tomorrow?
Enough choke!
Really.
After dinner in a hurry, Guan Youshou and Ma Zhenzhong didn't care about packing up the mountain goods in the sacks and baskets, and left together in a hurry.
The same goes for Ye Xiaofeng.
"Pick up the kids. ”
"Work before dawn. After Ye Xiaofeng finished speaking, he had already pulled the two big baskets full of mountain grapes, "Don't patronize and play." ”
Ye Xiuhe hurriedly grabbed it, "What is comparable to a child? I haven't seen you all day, and the child doesn't know what to cry about." ”
Ye Xiaofeng sat down with Xiaomu, "When I went down the mountain in the second half of the ring, I had already gone to see the child, so why don't you worry about handing it over to his milk." ”
Come on, she didn't even care about Xiao Minghe to pick it up, and the children who wanted to inform their friends had to rest their minds first and were pressed to work by her.
Ye Xiuhe saw that she had already decided, so she had to move the curtains made of sorghum stalks, sieves and other drying tools near the well.
Wait for the grapes to be rinsed, pick out the mountain grapes that are pressed and open, and have insect eyes, and put the rest on the drying tool to dry, and then wait for the drying to make wine.
Ye Xiaofeng looked at the children who were rushing to work and smiled, "You should be careful when washing, don't wash off that layer of white fruit frost, wine fermentation depends on it!"
"Mother, we washed it before. ”
"Stinky boy, don't you think you're verbose?"
"How dare I. ”
"I thought you had itchy skin. ”
More people is faster, unlike her hiding alone in the small gourd so tired that her arms are sore, a large pile of mountain grapes is quickly washed and dried on the drying rack.
"Alright, I'll just take it off the stalk tomorrow and put it in the barrel. ”
Before Ma Minghai and the others cheered, Ye Xiaofeng continued, "Go and move the small wooden fungus, and hurry up and pack up the mushroom fungus first." ”
Ye Xiuhe glanced at the sky, "It's almost dark, you better go back first." ”
"Yes, auntie, let's just come. ”
Ye Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, and quickly ran to pull two large baskets of mushrooms to the door of the outhouse, "Hurry up, what are you grinding." ”
Ye Xiuhe shook her head with a smile, pulled her arm and pulled, "Okay, I won't stop you from working, you go and bring the child over first, right?"
"I'll be gone in a minute. ”
Can you beat Ye Xiuhe?
After all, Ye Xiaofeng was still withdrawn from the door by her, and as soon as she turned back, she waved her hand, "You guys also go to the back room to play." ”
"Mother, I'm not tired. ”
"Go! I ran all day, obedient. ”
Guan Ping'an hurriedly gave his brother a look. Just now, my mother saw that our little hands were white, and she had already frowned several times.
Xiao Tianyou said that he didn't understand, turned his head and greeted Ma Mingjiang and his brothers with a smile, "You guys go to my house to rest for a while, and when Aunt Feng comes, I'll call you." ”
After speaking, he sat down on the small bench, grabbed a handful of mushrooms with his small hands, shook them, and tore off the dead leaves and grass on them.
You are already working as a young child, how could Ma Minghai, who thinks he is the eldest brother, agree to pull his younger brother to move to the little horse to work.
Xiao Tianyou gave his brother a thumbs up with a smile and smiled meaningfully at his sister. Take a look...... This is what Dad said: retreat is advance.
Guan Ping'an blinked knowingly and glanced at the gate. I don't know what her father said that day, but no one has come to the old courtyard until now.
It's weird.
&
The old house that she missed.
Uncle Guan, who had been lying on the kang in the east house for a day, glanced out the window from time to time.
It's a day...... The first team and the third team are not far apart, and the news should have been heard a long time ago, and it is almost dark, and it is time to come......
Uncle Guan turned over, lit a cigarette, smoked a dry cigarette, and squinted at his wife from time to time: He is old and confused before he is seventy or eighty, and he has to find out?
Hum!
Aunt Guan, who had a strip of cloth tied on her head, roared angrily when she saw this, "Are they all dead people? It's almost dark, and your father is staring with hunger!"
"Milk, I'm here. ”
Aunt Guan patted her head when she heard this, turned over and leaned towards Kang Jiao'er.
Guan Youfu outside pressed his back with one hand, inhaled again and again, and entered the east house, "Dad, I'm injured again, and I really can't go up the mountain tomorrow." ”
Uncle Guan hurriedly patted the kang noodles, "Sit down, didn't apply medicinal oil?"
"It's useless, I want to go to the city and find a good doctor. ”
Guan Youquan came out of the room and suddenly shouted, "Ah, who dropped the money?"
Guan Youfu hurriedly bent over, "What's that?"
"Haha......" Guan Youquan laughed happily, bypassed him and sat directly on the edge of the kang, "What's the matter, I'm better than the doctor in the city, right?"
Guan Youfu kicked him angrily, "My back pain is an old problem, can I still lie to you? ”
Guan Youquan raised his leg and immediately avoided it, "Big brother, don't you see that our father and mother are not in good health?"
"Who is the whole thing? I didn't sleep for you all night last night, and I worked another day today. But I'm so tired, I knew that I would ask for leave with you. ”
Guan Youquan pretended not to hear, and looked at Uncle Guan's face, "Dad, do you feel better now? You really can't go up the mountain tomorrow." ”
Uncle Guan nodded silently.
Guan Youquan looked at Aunt Guan's back again, "Big brother, haven't you seen my third brother all day?"
"I didn't even see a ghost, I asked Daxing and they learned that he had taken leave, the door was locked, and the family didn't know where to go. ”
Uncle Guan was stunned when he heard this.
"You didn't ask the captain, they always have to issue a certificate when they go out. Guan Youquan shook his head, "Forget it, forget it, it's useless to ask, I will always come tonight." ”
Will it come?
Guan Youshou and Ma Zhenzhong were on their way to the commune.
As soon as the autumn wind blew, Ma Zhenzhong rubbed his face, "Hey, it's getting colder and colder every day." ”
Guan Youshou restrained his thoughts, squinted at his buddy, and said with a smile, "Collect more firewood this year, otherwise your small body will not be able to bear it." ”
Ma Zhenzhong patted his chest, "My brother can sweat without wearing a jacket for three or nine days." ”
"Heh~"
"What's the matter, not convinced?"
The two brothers had a word of gossip, but the pace under their feet did not slow down at all, and it was not good to make each other wait for a long time when they made an appointment with someone.
