Imagining that there was such a snake, with a bunch of mountain grapes several times the body of a large snake on its head, swimming slowly in the mountains and forests - so as not to fall the grapes, Qingling couldn't help but be happy again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you! Take these eggs to your friends. ”

I received gifts from the snake brothers, so I have to return the gift.

The bamboo shoots and snakes don't eat them, and the rest is eggs.

Qingling counted out thirty wild eggs and put them at the mouth of the cave, so that the three little Ban brothers called their friends to come and share them. Leave eight to take home for the little gold tooth sacrifice.

Who knew that the three brothers didn't understand, or they were polite to her, rubbed Qingling's trouser legs, and swam away leisurely, without calling their friends.

"You little snake brother is so sensible. Qingling squatted at the mouth of the cave, held her chin and looked at the wild eggs with emotion.

Xiao Jin gave her a disdainful look, turned it over and continued to close her eyes to recuperate. The leisurely and comfortable little appearance, Ling could see that Ling was also sleepy, and leaned against the stone wall and took a nap.

When she woke up, the sun was already setting in the west, and Qingling packed up her back basket and prepared to return home. When it gets dark, the mountain road is even harder.

There are quite a few things to bring. In addition to the bamboo shoots, other flowers and plants to be transplanted, wild fruits to be given to the old doctor and the youngest grandson of the brigade secretary, and 38 wild eggs. With so many things, the small back basket obviously can't fit in.

Qingling immediately picked up a few thick vines and made a basket on the spot. The shape is not beautiful, but it is strong. If it weren't for Xiao Jin's fangs being sharp enough, this vine would never have been pulling at all.

Baskets made of vines contain eggs, and baskets are baskets of medicinal herbs and wild fruits. Qingling has one hand - carrying a basket on her arm and carrying a basket in her hand, and she has gone down the mountain with a full harvest.

When he was about to reach the bamboo forest, a pheasant that was stunned and looking for a nest came out with a cooing, and because he was frightened by Xiaojin's coercion, he fluttered his wings and wanted to escape, but with a "bang", he hit the trunk of the tree and fell to the ground in a daze.

In this way, Qinglingbai picked up a fat pheasant and was overjoyed.

He folded a thin vine and tied the pheasant's wings and tied it to the small eye of the basket. patted Xiao Jin's head, rolled his eyes playfully, and said, "If we send the pheasant to the old doctor's house and have a meal at his house by the way, do you think the two of them will agree?"

Xiaojin "Sisi" twice: Are you sure it's "the two of us"?

Qingling: "Hehehe...... Don't be so careful. ”

……

At sunset, Zhang Youkang and his wife drove the two little hens they were raising into the chicken coop, and the other carried a bucket to splash the yard. The green brick floor in the yard was basking in the sun for a day, and the fire was hot, and the well water was splashed to cool it down.

Then carry the dining table to the yard, take advantage of the lack of mosquitoes, pick up a few bites of food early, and finish playing the puff fan to enjoy the coolness.

In the summer, the big guys like to eat out. Those who are close to the neighbors are holding rice bowls, chatting about the day or something across the fence and courtyard wall, chatting about the big and small things that happened in the village during the day.

However, the Zhang family's house is a bit off, and the nearest neighbors are separated by a piece of land.

The old couple also don't like the east family and the west family to chatter for a short time. The older you get, the more you can endure loneliness.

In addition to going to the health center six days a week, Zhang Youkang will serve his precious herbs in his spare time.

His wife suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and stopped working in the field for several years. There is Zhang Youkang's earned work on the left and right, and the money and tickets sent back by his son and daughter-in-law, which are enough for the two of them to live, sewing and mending at home, feeding the chickens, and planting some vegetables in the back of the house, but not much idle.

When Qingling knocked on the door of Zhangjiayuan, the old couple was preparing to start the meal - a bowl of multigrain porridge for one person, two cornmeal wotou, plus a small plate of pickled vegetables and a plate of garlic stir-fried long cowpeas.

Seeing Qingling come in with a chicken with a gray body and a little long tail feathers, the old couple was very puzzled.

"Girl, is this a ******** in your hand? Why do you carry it in your hand? Oh my stupid girl! How can this chicken pinch its neck and lift it, you can't strangle it to death if you mention it like this." "Zhang Youkang's wife is extremely distressed about that chicken.

These days, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are all precious things. Most people can't afford to raise it.

Especially for pigs, a year's worth of chewing is more expensive than raising a child. In other words, the production team has the ability to raise a few heads, one is to hand over the task, and the other is to hand over the task, and the rest of the meat can be divided from house to house. If there is no meat at all during the New Year, is it still called the New Year?

As for personal homes, it's already good to be able to raise two chickens. Even so, it is necessary to take good care of the previous year, and wait until the New Year to kill. Usually who will kill chickens and ducks to eat?

Therefore, seeing the chicken in Qingling's hand, still being carried by the neck, the old couple was both puzzled and distressed.

This girl, don't you take the money in the morning, where did you go to get a chicken back? looks at a very well-behaved girl, but she is such a loser......

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, let's go in and talk. Qingling looked back, there was no one on the way down the mountain, and everyone who worked in the field called it a day and went home. But there are people walking around in the village, and when I saw her carrying chickens into Zhang's house, I was annoyed to say to the best of the family.

Therefore, after Grandma Zhang opened the courtyard door, she quickly stepped into the courtyard, went to the hall to unload the basket and bamboo basket, and stuffed the pheasant into Grandma Zhang's hand, explaining, "This is what I picked up on the mountain, and I can't kill chickens with this arm, so I bothered Grandma Zhang to help pick it up." Hehe, the second elder doesn't mind if I have a meal here, right?"

Thinking that the second elder was old, and the pheasant was old, he couldn't bite it, so he said, "How about the chicken soup in our stew? The kind that stews the chicken rotten and melts in the mouth." It just so happens that my arm Grandpa Zhang didn't say that it is best to make up for it, and chicken soup is the best to make up for it. ”

The old couple looked at each other, and this girl turned around and gave them chicken to eat.

Sweeping to Qingling's injured arm, the old couple had a spectrum in their hearts. Where can a pheasant be eaten in one meal, half a stew for three people is enough. The other half, there happens to be a small half jar of rice wine at home, blanched and salted to make drunken chicken, let the girl take it home, and you can eat in three or five days.

"It's just a girl, the pheasant is very wild, how did you catch it? Is your arm okay?" Accepting Qingling's kindness, Grandma Zhang asked about the origin of the chicken.

"It's okay. Qingling raised her arm and showed it to the second elder, and at the same time happily shared the process of picking up pheasants with the second elder, "The chicken fainted by hitting the trunk of the tree by itself, and I tied it with a vine and went down the mountain, without much effort." Oh yes, I also picked a lot of fruit, it tastes very good, I can't eat so much alone, it's easy to change the flavor after a long time, you two can also take some to eat. ”

As he spoke, he poured out a small half basket of wild fruits from the basket. The Zhang family raises chickens, and the eggs are not to be eaten, so Qingling does not distinguish them with wild eggs.
