Chapter 23: Hatred of Iron Makes Steel

[Just came back from the hospital, so the update was late, sorry.] Ask for a referral ticket. Thank you all and wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 】

Seeing her like this, Chen Yang couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say to the fourth grandmother: "Fourth grandmother, or you can let Jiajia hug it, anyway, you all look at her." ”

"Okay, good, give you a hug. The fourth grandmother finally relented.

Chen Jia immediately bounced up like a fish, immediately ran outside the door, moved in a thick small bench, and then sat upright next to his grandmother, stretched out two slender little hands, and looked at Xiao Qian in his grandmother's arms expectantly.

Grandma chanted again: "Don't move around when you hold him, you know?"

"I know, I know, I know. Chen Jia shouted impatiently, "I don't touch him, I don't touch him, I don't shake him, I don't hit him, and I don't touch saliva on his face." ”

After saying that, he wiped his mouth with his arm.

The fourth grandmother handed Xiao Qian into her arms.

Chen Yang said: "Then I'll go to the mountain first." ”

"Go ahead. Although the fourth grandmother didn't say that she was worried, she still cared about Chen Yang in her heart, "You hurry up, go early and come back early, don't be in the mountains when it's dark." ”

"Hmm. Chen Yang responded, immediately turned around and walked outside, and took away the hoe and shovel of the fourth grandmother's house by the way.

The village is surrounded by mountains, and wild rhododendrons grow on almost every hill.

Chen Yang chose the nearest one and came to the peak in front of the village.

The trail is potholed and steep.

Looking out, you can see the outer wall of the mountain that is gradually rising, and when you look inside, you can see a lush forest.

Most of the villagers in Baishi Village are very industrious, although they have little education, but they keep in mind the teachings of their ancestors, almost every year every family will open up a barren mountain, and then when the spring is warm and rainy next year, they will carry bundles of fir saplings into the mountain, with a pair of hands with calluses on the palms of the hands, fingernails stained with black mud, planting young saplings on the mountain.

Spring comes and winter, the seasons change, and the small saplings gradually grow from seedlings to big trees under the nourishment of the mountains, and finally grow into mature forests.

As a result, the life of the villagers has also become better with the growth of the saplings.

When you come to the mountainside and look down again, you can see the entire Baishi Village.

Although the beginning of autumn has passed, because Shiraishi Village is located in the south, it is full of greenery. It's just that this dark green is different from the new green of spring, the green of spring gives people a feeling of refreshment, and the dark green under the sunset at this time gives people a sense of heaviness.

It's like an oil painting has been painted several times.

At this moment, the sunset in the west, like a fine piece of gold, sprinkled its light on the village. The precipitated gold was deeply plated in every meadow, every crop, every house.

A flock of birds hovers over the dusk, looking for their warm nest.

The beautiful village girl walked around, bringing a burst of the fragrance of rice.

The houses in the village, the peasants in the fields, the children playing, and the winding paths all play their own colors in the afterglow of the setting sun, forming a beautiful picture.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, Chen Yang is just a casual skimming. He didn't have much to appreciate these at all, because Xiao Qian was still waiting for him at the fourth grandmother's house.

He had to dig up the azaleas as soon as possible, and then go to pick up Xiao Qian early.

It's just that it doesn't seem easy to dig up azaleas as soon as possible.

Although the wasteland on the mountainside is full of wild rhododendrons, it is not difficult to find them, but the hard part is to dig them.

The main reason why these rhododendrons survived the tide of land reclamation by the villagers is that they grow in places where the villagers cannot clear the land.

They are either deeply rooted in narrow crevices in the rocks, or they grow on steep cliff faces that are almost perpendicular to the ground.

Fortunately, Chen Yang has been working in the mountains since he was a child, and these seemingly dangerous environments are not too difficult for him.

As he climbed the cliffs, he could tell at a glance which plants had deep roots that he could pull, and which plants had shallow roots that he should never hang his entire body on.

After some hard work, he dug up ten wild rhododendrons that were not very large in size from the yellow mud cliffs.

These wild rhododendrons bloom in March and April in a bright red color.

Chen Yang really didn't understand, what did the system ask him to dig these azaleas for?

Let him plant ten red-backed vegetables, he can also understand that the system wants him to order a variety of dishes, so that he will not run out of vegetables to eat in the future.

But this rhododendron can't be eaten, what's the use of digging it?

Although I don't understand the usefulness of these azaleas, since the system lets him dig them, there is naturally a systematic reason.

Ten small rhododendrons were tied together with green grass and vines, and then they walked quickly down the mountain.

He didn't go home, but went directly to the fourth grandmother's house with the azalea.

Walk into the courtyard, put the hoe and shovel away, and go straight into the hall.

The fourth grandmother hugged Xiaoqian, Chen Jia followed behind her buttocks, and the fourth grandfather chopped vegetables in the kitchen.

Seeing Chen Yang coming, the fourth grandmother walked out and asked, "I'm coming back so soon, I also said that I will feed Xiaoqian some broth and then send it back to you." ”

"No, I don't have to. Chen Yang put down the azalea in his hand, patted the grass on his body, and stepped forward to take Xiao Qian, "I'm just going into the mountain to dig something." ”

As soon as Xiao Qian entered his arms, he drilled into his chest one by one.

"Brother, isn't this Yingshanhong?" Chen Jia said, pointing to something outside the door of the hall.

The fourth grandmother walked out curiously and looked carefully, it was indeed a red mountain in the mountains.

She asked, "Xiaoyang, what are you digging these for?"

The fourth grandfather also walked out, and after seeing a bundle of Yingshan red lying in the yard, his face changed instantly.

He is the younger brother of Chen Yang's grandfather, and he treats Chen Yang the same as Chen Jia.

At this time, seeing that Chen Yang, this kid, was not doing things well, but went to the mountains to dig up these useless things, how could he not be angry in his heart.

What's more, his wife has run away, and many people in the village are waiting to see his jokes, but he is good, instead of finding something serious to do, he actually digs up these ghost things.

The fourth grandfather had some hatred in his heart, but he couldn't teach Chen Yang a lesson at such a time.

After all, the current Chen Yang's wife has only been running away for a few days, and it is estimated that he is still very uncomfortable in his heart, and if he is taught a lesson at this time, maybe he will be even more uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, the fourth grandfather could only sigh secretly, and then returned to the kitchen to continue cutting vegetables without saying a word.

He cut off a large chicken leg from the half of the old chicken he bought home today, wrapped it in a clean plastic bag, and shouted out to Chen Jia.

Chen Jia trotted into the kitchen, took the chicken leg from his grandfather, and handed it to his grandmother.

The fourth grandmother handed the chicken leg to Chen Yang, who had just picked up Xiao Qian with a strap, and said, "Xiao Yang, you can take this chicken leg back and make soup for Xiao Qian to eat." ”

Looking at the chicken leg weighing about half a catty, Chen Yang hurriedly refused: "Fourth grandma, no, I bought a fish for Xiao Qian, and I also touched some snails in the river yesterday." ”

"Oops, if you want to take it back, take it back. The fourth grandmother insisted on stuffing the chicken legs to Chen Yang, "Xiao Qian can't finish eating, you can eat it yourself, Jiajia also has it." ”

The fourth grandmother means that Chen Yang is the same generation as Chen Jia, and in their eyes, they are just grandchildren, since Chen Jia has chicken legs to eat, it is also appropriate to give Chen Yang one to eat.
