"Of course, I'm okay to eat and hold on, what are you lying to?" Chen Yang got up from the ground, put the honeycomb densely covered with bee chrysalis into the snakeskin bag, threw it on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next place and continue digging." ”

Junguang Junhui glanced at each other, although he didn't believe Brother Chen Yang's words very much, but he said to go, then just follow.

The two picked up hoes and woodcutters from the ground, and hurriedly followed Chen Yang's brother's ass to the mountain.

The three brothers returned from the tea woodland to the path halfway up the mountain, and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Although the trail is a yellow mud trail in the mountains, thanks to the repairs made by the village chief and his party over the years, the road surface is getting wider and smoother year by year.

The three of them walked along the mountain path, with a mountain wall overgrown with sandalwood and ferns on the left, and a steep slope on the right that sloped downward, also overgrown with all kinds of small shrubs and ferns.

After walking a few hundred meters through a winding mountain road, and around a bend, the view was blocked by a dense and tall cedar forest, so that it was impossible to see into the valley at a glance.

These cedar trees are ordinary cedar trees, not metasequoia, an endangered plant, as people have in mind.

Although these cedar trees are ordinary and not expensive wood, they carry the hope of the whole village.

Even the poorest and poorest families in the village have a cedar forest or two.

Some were planted by their own hands, and some were planted by their parents or elders.

Moreover, even in today's days when you can find work everywhere and make money, the people of the village have never stopped planting cedar trees.

They sold a cedar forest, and the next year, they would carry a lawn mower on their backs to clear the woodland, then dig a tree hole, and when the next year was spring and the rain was abundant, they would buy fir saplings from the town and carry them into the woodland to plant.

After planting, in autumn and winter, when the weather turns cooler, you have to carry a lawn mower or a woodcutter to remove all kinds of shrubs and vines that rob the small cedar saplings of nutrients and sunlight.

When spring begins again, you have to bury a handful of compound fertilizer next to the small sapling, so that you can help the young sapling grow quickly.

By the fifth year, the saplings often grow to three or four meters tall under the care of the villagers. At this point, you basically don't have to manage them anymore.

They are already big saplings, and they should learn to compete with the weeds and shrubs next to them for nutrients and sunlight.

Although these cedar trees are common in the village and can be found almost everywhere, they are always cute and charming in the eyes of the villagers.

In spring, their verdant buds will drift in the spring breeze and drizzle with the singing of birds on the branches.

In summer, their dense canopy stretches out under the scorching sun, providing comfortable shade to passing villagers.

In autumn, the branches at their base can be turned into firewood to provide warmth to people.

In winter, many flowers and trees have withered, and only they will stand tall in the cold wind like soldiers guarding the frontier, giving people infinite strength.

No, the three brothers had just walked into the cedar forest, and they saw a few aunts sitting on the edge of the forest path resting.

Several aunts are all gone, not only their hair is messy, their clothes are covered with grass seeds, and even the upper of their shoes is stained with a lot of red mud.

At their feet were slightly bulging snakeskin bags, which were supposed to have gone into the mountains to pick wild mountain peppers.

The three of them stepped forward and greeted a few aunts cordially.

said that they were aunts, but they were actually about sixty years old. It's just that in the village, sixty years old is still considered the prime of life, so it's not too much to call Auntie.

When several aunts saw the three brothers entering the mountain, they all smiled and asked them what they were doing in the mountain.

Junhui replied, "We're going to dig up the bees." ”

"Didn't dig it? An aunt asked with a smile.

"Dig it. Chen Yang put down the snakeskin bag on his shoulder, opened the bag, took out a piece of bee chrysalis from it, and handed it to his aunt, "You see, this bee pupa is very fat and fresh." Try a few. ”

"Don't, this thing is so expensive, keep it for you to take home and eat. The aunt waved her hand and refused.

"What's expensive? Chen Yang put the bee chrysalis at his aunt's feet, "No matter how expensive it is, it is for people to eat." Auntie, you taste it. ”

"Then eat two. The aunt was a little embarrassed to pick up the honeycomb from the ground, pinched the bee chrysalis from the hexagonal hole with her fingers, and pulled a fat and big bee chrysalis out with a gentle pull.

The bee chrysalis is put directly into the mouth, which is really delicious and juicy, and it is wonderful.

Seeing this, several other aunts also started to eat happily.

The three Chen Yang brothers were already continuing to walk forward, and after passing through the cedar forest, they came to a steep slope at the edge of the cedar forest.

Chen Yang pointed to the small hole next to a stone and said, "See, there's a bigger honeycomb here." ”

Junguang Junhui stepped forward, looked at the big hornets that kept flying in and out of the hole, and shouted happily: "Hold the grass, brother, you are too awesome, how do you know that there will be honeycombs here?"

"What's this?" Chen Yang put down the snakeskin bag, took the small hoe from Junguang's hand, and said triumphantly, "Let me tell you, in this world, there is no honeycomb that I can't find." ”

"Cut, who went into the mountains last time for a day and returned empty-handed?"

"That's it, brother, you're bragging again. ”

"Haha, you don't believe it, do you?" Chen Yang smiled heartily as he dug it, "Do you want to bet?"

"How do you bet?" asked Junguang Junhui in unison.

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "If I can find another honeycomb later, the two of you will be responsible for lighting the fire, cooking, setting the table, cleaning the table, washing the dishes, and sweeping the floor tonight." How?"

Making a fire, cooking, setting the table, tidying the table, washing dishes, sweeping the floor! It sounds like six jobs, but it all adds up to one: helping with household chores.

Junguang asked, "We've done all this work, so what are you doing?"

"I cook. Chen Yang said, "Aren't we making a bet, if I lose, then I'll take all this work together, how about it?"

Junguang and Junhui summed it up and thought that this bet could be played.

"There's no way he'll ever find another chrysalis. Junguang said very confidently, "I will also raise, if we win, you give each of our two brothers fifty dollars, if you win, we will give you fifty each." ”

"I don't have any money. Junhui said hurriedly, "I bought spicy noodles for the fifty yuan my mother gave me when I went to work." ”

"Stupid you. Junguang patted Junhui's brain, "He will definitely lose, we are sure to win." ”

"Is that so?" Junhui thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Well, well, I'll listen to you." ”

Chen Yang turned his head to look at Junguang with a serious face and Junhui with a tangled face, and asked, "What do you little kid want so much money for?" It seems that your grandparents will give you a dollar or two to buy snacks every morning. ”

Junhui replied innocently: "We're going to give ...... to grandparents"

"Don't say it. Junguang covered Junhui's mouth, "It's a secret, we can't tell him." ”

Junhui nodded.

Junguang withdrew his hand, looked at Brother Chen Yang and said, "Anyway, it's a bet, if you don't dare to follow, then you lose." ”
