In the sparse singing, a group of three people went up the mountain with dogs and wolves.

Zhu Zhu is blessed lying on her stomach in the back basket, fortunately she is blessed with company, otherwise she really wants to cry.

Blessed with big ears swinging around, the original intention was to tease Zhu Zhu, but Zhu Zhu sang mountain songs weakly and had no time to take care of it.

In this way, it was very anxious, so it stretched out its paws to scratch Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhu turned around and said: "Don't scratch me, I know you have gained weight again, I tried it, and I honestly lie in it." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Little pig, how can you have an opinion?"

Zhu Zhu stretched his voice and said, "No, I'm very happy." ”

Ao Muyang said: "You must be happy, let's go and hunt pigweed, and give the little pig grass." ”

Zhu Zhu's big eyes blinked a few times, and suddenly he was really happy: "Ah, I know, let's go pick wild vegetables, right? I like to eat wild vegetables, our school made wild vegetable cakes in May, that's a lie, what wild vegetables, are all artificially grown, and it's not that I can't eat them." ”

The sixth sister licked her lips and said, "I think it's good, pure wild vegetables are unpalatable." ”

Zhu Zhu retorted: "How can there be, how fashionable and popular it is to eat wild vegetables now, my mother took us to that private restaurant a few days ago, their family specializes in wild vegetables, and the business is so hot that it is full." ”

The sixth sister shook her head and said: "Wild vegetables are not delicious, in the past, in our place, wild vegetables were for pigs to eat, you are right, let's go to hunt pigweed is to dig wild vegetables." ”

Zhu Zhu looked at Ao Muyang and asked: "Wild vegetables are so delicious, why do you want to give them to pigs?" Don't tell me why don't you eat minced meat, I know that Emperor Jin Hui is a pure fool, but wild vegetables are really better than meat." ”

Ao Muyang said: "This is true for you, because you don't like to eat meat, you like to be vegetarian, and in addition, although you don't like to eat meat, you still have oil and water in your stomach." Wild vegetables are a thing that has to wait for oil and water in your stomach to be delicious, and it's really hard to eat when you don't have oil and water. ”

In fact, he did not experience a very difficult period of life, although the village was poor when he was a child, but that was relative, at least they could eat full steamed buns, and they could eat a meal of meat and vegetables every three or five days.

In the 21st century, living conditions in the village are even better, and every household can add meat to it when cooking and stir-frying.

This was not the case before the 90s, when food was still scarce, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew to the red ocean, but it did not blow to these small villages surrounded by mountains.

Ao Muyang still listens to the memories of Ao Zhibing and other old people, saying that at that time, people relied on sorghum, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes to satisfy their hunger.

At that time, the common people really ate enough wild vegetables, and there were many wild vegetables in the mountains, so the children went to hunt wild vegetables and came back to feed the pigs, sheep and cows.

Ao Muyang's family also raised pigs, and he said to the two: "When I was a child, I was still very young, and my family didn't buy a boat, and my father raised pigs by himself in addition to going to sea to fish with other people's boats." ”

"Every New Year, my dad goes to the market to buy a few piglets back, this pig I am now experienced, I have to raise a few more, this thing it has to grab food to eat happy, but also grow fast, if only one is not good, it grows dull. ”

Zhu Zhu had never experienced such a life, and she had never seen that era, so she urged: "Uncle Xiaoyang continued. ”

Ao Muyang smiled dumbly and said: "What do you say?" It's that my father bought back the pig and my mother raised it at home, and it was generally raised for a year, and it was raised until the lunar ......."

The sixth sister suddenly interrupted him and asked Zhu Zhu, "Guess, what should we do when we raise pigs here until the Chinese New Year?"

Zhu Zhu's eyelashes flickered, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "According to my thoughts, it must be slaughtered and eaten for the Chinese New Year, but I know that since you asked me, you guessed my answer, and my answer is still very stupid." Therefore, my answer is to raise it until the Chinese New Year and then send it to the market to sell!"

The sixth sister said: "It's wrong, it will be stolen by someone when it is raised for the New Year." ”

Zhu Zhu looked at Ao Muyang, and Ao Muyang said: "In the past, there were indeed pig thieves at the end of the year, and the money for a pig to sell for a family of three can save a little, so it can be two or three months." ”

Someone came up from the mountain and greeted, "Village chief, what are you doing here?"

Ao Muyang smiled: "Fight pigweed." ”

The man suddenly smiled from ear to ear: "Is it? It's kind of interesting, I haven't seen a little girl who shoots pigweed in years." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu and Zhu, and then he frowned violently and asked, "Isn't this the princess of Mr. Yan's family?"

Zhu Zhu sighed: "The princess also has to fight pigweed." ”

The villagers laughed and said, "You are not professional in hunting pigweed, you have to use flower baskets." ”

Zhu Zhu asked, "What is a flower basket? I know the pu basket." ”

Ao Muyang took her to continue walking up the mountain, explaining: "The flower basket is not the same thing as the pu basket, it is similar to our bamboo basket, and it is also made of bamboo, but the opening is larger and opens around, as if a flower is in full bloom, so it is called a flower basket." ”

Zhu Zhu thought about it and said happily: "The appearance of bamboo woven into flowers, it must be very beautiful." ”

Ao Muyang sighed: "That thing is very tiring to carry. ”

He used to hunt pigweed when he was a child, and after elementary school, he followed his mother to threak grass with a flower basket and a sickle, and his mother had to carry a hoe and fertilizer bags.

In the spring there was dew in the mountains in the morning and evening, and in the summer it was sunburning, and his mother took him up the mountain not only so that he could catch as much grass as he could, but also to let him know the pain of doing farm work, so that he could study hard and go to the city to work as an office in the future.

As a result, Ao Muyang finally returned to the village.

He remembered things from his childhood, which had been hidden in his memory for a long, long time, so much so that he thought he had forgotten them.

But now, when he walked on the mountain road with a bamboo basket on his back and a sickle, he vaguely remembered those scenes again.

Many years ago, he walked this road to hunt pigweed, and many years later he walked this road to hunt pigweed, but unfortunately the people who accompanied him have changed.

The people who had taken him on the mountain trail were gone, and he would never see them again for the rest of his life.

That year and that day, as if behind him, here and now, it is difficult to reproduce again.

Thinking of this, he fell silent and slowly walked into the mountain with the two girls.

Zhu Zhu was very sensitive, and immediately noticed the change in his mood, and took the initiative to come up and hold his hand and ask, "Uncle Xiaoyang, are you unhappy?"

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "No, don't speak, let me be quiet." ”

Zhu Zhu nodded obediently and followed him honestly.

The sixth sister also wanted to speak, and Ao Muyang said in advance: "Don't talk, okay? I want to be quiet." ”

They walked for a while, and the sixth sister was about to speak again, Ao Muyang smiled bitterly: "Really, I want to be quiet......"

"I don't know who Jing Jing or Jing is, but I have to speak, we missed a piece of plantain just now, and now there are a lot of gray gray cabbage here, don't we fight?"
