When I arrived at the old house, it was really the same as Yu Chen said, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the house had already been built, and it was a three-story small western-style house, with red bricks and white tiles, and it was very interesting to see.

Moreover, the Yu family also took advantage of the relationship at hand, and also spent a lot of money to directly contract a piece of land.

Although I thought of other names, the land that included the old house became the private land of the Yu family.

The four of them parked the car, put down their things, and walked along the path paved with warm stones to the river.

The river is very quiet, to be precise, this section contracted by Yu's family is very quiet.

The three juniors were playing by the river, and Yu Jiaoqian found a place in her memory to sit down.

This river carries a lot of memories of Yu Jiaoqian, some good and some bad, but now they have all become good.

"Mom, Mom, come here..."

Yu Jiaoqian thought about it for a while, Xiaoyue shouted and called her over, Yu Jiaoqian walked over curiously, and saw a few river mussels by the river, the big ones were almost as big as watermelons, and the small ones were only Xiaoyue's palm.

"Mom, this can be eaten, right?" Xiaoyue said excitedly.

This is what Yu Chen said, but she still wants to confirm it again.

"Yes, pick a few that are not big or small, and I'll get you to eat today," Yu Jiaoqian said dotingly.

Over the years, the Yu family has stopped doing mussel business.

The mussel meat in the big bone broth has long been substituted for other places.

Although there are many people who eat river mussels, many people also know that if river mussels are not handled well, there may be bacteria or something, anyway, it is not reliable for people to eat.

Yu Jiaoqian had also heard similar news in her previous life, so she generally only ate the right size, even if it was too big.

However, these considerations are nothing to Xiaoyue, and she can do it herself.

In the end, five were selected, two large and three small, and they were brought back to the kitchen of the old house, and as soon as they were scalded with boiling water, the mussels would automatically open their shells.

The work of making river mussels is familiar to Yu Jiaoqian and Yu Chen, but Yu Jiaoqian is an elder, of course Yu Chen can't let Yu Jiaoqian do it, and he consciously pushes everyone aside to watch.

"Mom, are you supervising the eldest brother?" Xiaoyue, like Yu Jiaoqian, squatted in front of Yu Chen and watched Yu Chen's operation.

"No, I just want to see if there are any surprises" Yu Jiaoqian said with a smile, with a girlish smile on her face.

"Surprise, what surprise?" Xiaoyue asked curiously.

Yu Chen took a knife to separate the meat and shell of the river mussel, and at the same time smiled and spoke to Yu Jiaoqian and Xiaoyue, he was also looking forward to whether there would be any surprises.

"Yes, auntie, Xiaoyue, you see, it's still pink"

Yu Chen suddenly exclaimed, there were three pink pearls in his palm.

"Wow, what a surprise, Mom, it's Pearl..."

Xiaoyue looked at Yu Chen's hand with a blank look.

"This is the second one, let's see if there are any of the remaining three," Yu Chen said with a smile.

While speaking, the pearl in Yu Chen's hand was placed in Xiaoyue's hand, and Xiaoyue was carefully held.

In fact, the color of this pearl is average, and the size is not worth mentioning.

For Yu Chen and Xiaoyue, they don't even bother to watch it.

But this is the joy of doing it yourself, and this is their harvest.

The remaining three mussels were also opened, and two more white ones were made out before they lived up to expectations.

"Auntie, get Xiaoyue a bracelet or earrings," Yu Chen said with a smile.

Lucky people who find pearls will do the same.

"Well, this is okay, just get a bracelet, don't be in a hurry to earrings," Yu Jiaoqian said with a smile.

Xiaoyue doesn't have pierced ears, but the bracelet is okay.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, mother," Xiaoyue said sweetly.

There were two more pearls in her palm, and Xiaoyue's eyes narrowed.

At this time, the mussel meat is also processed, just wait for a while to fry and eat.

No matter what to eat or do in the future, the five pearls that are not of high value are rarely held in Xiaoyue's hands to play with, and she can't even take a nap.

Yu Jiaoqian said bluntly that the sweat in the palm of her hand would affect the luster of the pearl, and Xiaoyue reluctantly watched Yu Jiaoqian keep the pearl properly.

"Mom, eldest brother said, you haven't married yet, and when you live here, will you make your own pearl earrings?" Xiaoyue asked softly.

The mother and daughter lie on the same bed, because the environment of Linshui Village is good, as long as they don't bask in the sun, it is not too hot for the two to sleep together.

"Well, I didn't have money at that time, but I couldn't afford to buy so many of your jewelry," Yu Jiaoqian said with a smile.

The pearl is very powerful when you hear it, and it is really beautiful.

The little girls and sisters-in-law in Linshui Village like to look for river mussels to see if there are pearls in them.

A good thing that doesn't cost money is really good.

"Mom, then can you teach me how to make a bracelet, I want to keep it when it's done," Xiaoyue said happily.

She followed Yu Jiaoqian to learn some handmade head flowers, but she didn't know how to do the pearl bracelet yet.

"There's no need for this, the quality of these pearls is not good, and they won't look good if they are stored for two years," Yu Jiaoqian said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm going to save it if it's not good-looking."

Yu Jiaoqian watched Xiaoyue coquettishly, so she didn't persuade her, and regarded it as fulfilling the little girl's careful thoughts.

After staying in Linshui Village for a day, early the next morning, Yu Jiaoqian and the three little ones went to the mountain and went to the grave to burn incense.

In front, Yu Chen opened the way with a machete.

Over the years, there have been more and more trees on the mountain, and the grass has become more and more lush.

If they don't open the way, Yu Jiaoqian and they will be easily scratched by the grass.

"Hey, Xiaoyue, there's something delicious here, come here," Yu Chen shouted in front.

"Big brother, don't you want to be so partial, call Xiaoyue first when you see something delicious," Qin Huaiyuan complained.

In fact, he was just talking, but he was also curious about what Yu Chen saw.

"Mom, it's a hawthorn, it's so red!" Xiaoyue shouted in surprise.

I didn't eat a rock sugar gourd, but it was the first time Xiaoyue had seen it on a tree.

"It's really strange, it seems that no one has come to pick it," Yu Jiaoqian also said in surprise.

There are hawthorn trees in the mountains of Linshui Village, and Yu Jiaoqian didn't know about it today, but they are generally in demand.

Sometimes it is difficult to find it, but the fruit on it is finished, or it is not the right time to find it, and the fruit has not yet grown.

"Maybe no one has found out yet, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyuan have a good mouth, let's pick more, we can go back and eat it directly, or you can boil sugar water" Yu Chen said with a smile.

While speaking, Yu Chen turned around in front of his uncle, the machete in his hand was beating everywhere, and when he was picking, he was disturbed by uninvited guests.

"Wow, what should I do, there are a lot of hawthorns, big brother, these are several trees, we can't pick any one" Xiaoyue said embarrassedly.

It's not just that you can't finish picking it, any branch gives people a heavy and fruitful feeling.

From a distance, it looks like a large red acacia flower, growing on a low hawthorn tree.
