Chen Anxiu chatted with Zhang Shinian for a while, and when he saw Ji Junxin coming in from the door, he took the initiative to say, "I still have something to do here, so let's not talk about it for now." β
Zhang Shinian answered softly on the other end of the phone, and then instructed, "Pay attention to your body." β
Chen Anxiu turned the pen in his hand and smiled, "I'm right to tell you this sentence, I don't know how many times better than you." β
It's now past nine o'clock in the morning, and the small restaurant hasn't opened yet, and there is no one inside, Ji Junxin is carrying Tao Tao's coat in his hand, and his elbow is casually on the counter and asks, "Uncle's phone?" Although he is not particularly familiar with An Xiu, the smile just now is slightly different from when he looks at others.
Chen Anxiu put the pen in his hand into the pen holder and said with a smile, "There is no reward for guessing correctly, where do you want to go today?" Ji Junxin also stayed here for an extra day in order to accompany Tao Tao, because there was not much time, and he didn't think about going too far, so he wanted to walk around the town.
"How about going into the mountains today?" Ji Junxin's face leaned in front of him, his teeth were neat and white, he sent the rest of the family away yesterday, it was almost noon, he would take a nap after eating and sleeping, and it would be dark when he didn't play with the children for long in the afternoon.
If it was Ji Junheng, the account book in Chen Anxiu's hand had already been pasted, but Ji Junxin, he gritted his teeth and endured it, except for Zhang Shinian and Ji Junheng, the appearance of the others in the Ji family was tough, especially Ji Junxin, who had been in the army for many years, gave people a particularly upright and tough feeling, so occasionally such pranks were not annoying, because there was no malice in his eyes, but it really made people itch.
Chen Anxiu was stunned and continued, "Although there are no fierce birds and beasts on the mountain, it is still not safe to carry so many children. The mountain roads are not easy to walk. He didn't dare to go too deep into the woods with only tons of tons.
"You don't have to go too far, just walk on the edge of the forest, and Congshan and Ning Tian also follow. Ji Junxin snorted lightly, seemingly disappointed with his reaction. I heard the eldest brother say last night that the reason why Jun Heng provoked the uncle was that he had no scruples in front of An Xiu. He thought it was funny and wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect people to be so calm.
Ji Junxin doesn't have Ji Junyi's kung fu to hide his thoughts, what he thinks in his heart, he can see a little bit on his face, Chen Anxiu thinks to himself, should the people of the Ji family be so naΓ―ve? Obviously looking at a decent family outside, he had to have convulsions from time to time in private, he remembered that one morning Ji Junyi was there, Ji Junyi hadn't gotten up yet, but Yueran had already gotten up and was calling his father, Ji Junyi might not think about it, but he didn't say it, he crooked his neck, said that his father was dead, and then didn't open his eyes no matter how Yueran shouted and pushed, and slept as usual, until Yueran really believed it and cried loudly, this matter was over, and Chen Anxiu quickly collapsed when there was a corner of his heart at that time. Now seeing Ji Junxin, he is even more suspicious that the Ji family may really have a tradition of convulsions, and hopes that tons and presumptions will not be inherited.
"Okay, let them dress lightly, let's leave later, and try to get back to lunch on time." β
Seeing that he didn't react, Ji Junxin returned to normal, waved his hand and smiled, "I'll tell them." β
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the work in the field is almost busy, drying the ground, these two days to take advantage of the warmth to sow winter wheat, and then some scraps in the vegetable garden, if there is a kind of greenhouse in winter, at this time also give oil paper and straw felt, Chen Anxiu and his party packed up and went out, found that Chen's father had been looking forward to the long-awaited pancake seller finally came to Qiuli Town.
Pancakes, when there was a lack of white flour in the past, every family had eaten, the pancakes at that time were pure cornmeal, coarse, and stabbed the throat when eating, and then everyone lived well, so they didn't eat, and they couldn't wait to be far away from Bazhang, in recent years, I don't know how to make it popular again, but now the pancakes are much more fine than before, there are pure millet noodles, cornmeal, white flour, millet flour and bean flour mixed with mixed flour pancakes, and now there are machines that specialize in making pancakes, but Chen's father likes this is rare and insists on making it by hand, a man with three or four women, sometimes a few, every once in a while, with firewood in the car, with a large basin of noodles and an iron tong. The iron pans used to spread pancakes are particularly large, the kind with a diameter of more than one meter, which were left over from the family in the past, and are rarely seen elsewhere now.
The host has already put the iron pan up, is unloading firewood, and noodles, Chen's father came relatively early, he will be holding the noodle bag in one hand, and leading the Mao Mao in the queue with one hand, when it is his turn, he wants to weigh a few noodle bags, Mao Mao may be tired of standing, just when Chen's father let go of his hand, he swayed and walked two steps, and selected someone's iron pan to sit on the buttocks, fortunately, people have not started to burn the fire, this will be the iron pan is still cold, otherwise the butt must be baked, the people around are laughing, because it is a little baby, everyone does not dislike it, so no one stopsγ
Father Chen put the noodle bag on the scale, turned his head and didn't see Mao Mao, heard everyone laughing, and then saw that Mao Mao was still sitting upright on the iron pan of others, and quickly picked up the person with a smile, "Mao Mao, that's where my aunt cooks, not a stool, you can't sit on." The master also laughed, and even said that there was nothing to do, poured some water on it, and wiped the iron pan again.
Chen Anxiu was afraid of risking to find him, so he didn't get close there, but waved his hand to Chen's father from a distance. Yue Ran covered his mouth and smiled, "Uncle Mao is so funny." β
Tons of people wore masks, and whispered next to Chen Anxiu, "This little fool." β
Chen Anxiu found out that he was looking this way, and hurriedly ducked behind Ji Junxin.
"Okay, Uncle Chen, I took the risk of being carried over there by Grandpa Chen. The sugar ball slapped Chen Anxiu's waist.
Chen Anxiu probed the probe and the group continued to hurry, "Sugar Ball, what about your father?" The day before yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was almost eleven o'clock when Lou Nan and Ye Jingqian came back, and they didn't even have dinner, Ye Jingqian borrowed their kitchen to temporarily fry two bowls of egg fried rice. Candy Ball is okay, he went to bed early with Ton Ton, and he didn't sleep if he couldn't see Lou Nan, he could only walk around the house with that fat dundun, and almost didn't slip his arm off. Yesterday the two didn't leave, and spent the whole day on the mountain with candy balls and candy.
"My dad was doing laundry at home, and my dad didn't know what information he was looking up on the Internet. β
The former one is Ye Jingqian, and the latter one is Lou Nan, Chen Anxiu can now tell the difference. Although Sugar Ball is thirteen years old this year, boys are not more careful than girls, and Lou Nan and Ye Jingqian deliberately do not show it in front of the children, so Sugar Ball has not noticed anything at home until now, he once asked Lou Nan, and Lou Nan said that he was not very clear, because it was a family matter, he was not good at asking too carefully, but looking at the appearance of those two people, the problem was not very big to solve, but the process might be tricky. As far as he knew, Ye Jingqian's mother had passed away for many years, and they had not had any contact with the Ye family for many years.
"Anxiu, which way to go ahead?" Ji Junxin, who was walking in the front, turned around and asked.
"The one on the left. "In fact, mountain paths like this are all stepped on by people, and they are almost the same as any one they take.
There are leaves falling on tons of hair, Chen Anxiu helped to pick them down, the seasonal changes in the countryside are more obvious than in the city, in October on the green island, even if the weather is still warm, the oncoming wind also brings out a trace of coolness, the leaves on the mountain have also begun to yellow, now most of them are shrubs, after a while it may be tall trees, but you can also see a large number of wild chrysanthemums everywhere, purple flowers are still in bloom, and there are some unknown wild flowers, most of the petals are small, and the color is also plain.
"The view is so good. He Congshan and Jiang Ningtian didn't have many chances to come to the mountain like this, one of them was holding a small basket in his hand, looking at everything strange, and he was surprised to follow them with Tao Tao and Yueran.
"I know this, this is shepherd's cabbage, right?" Jiang Ningtian asked Chen Anxiu, pointing to a small patch of plants under his feet.
"It's really shepherd's cabbage, but it's old. β
Jiang Ningtian was still a little disappointed, "Isn't it impossible to eat it?"
"It's okay to go back and scald dumplings with hot water. "It's not okay to eat it raw.
"Shall we dig some back?"
Chen Anxiu couldn't bear to be disappointed, and replied, "Okay." β
As soon as his voice fell, He Congshan, like Jiang Ningtian's child, let out a small cheer, and immediately squatted down and dug with a knife, in this natural environment, it seemed that people could easily unload something and relax completely. Ji Junxin was obviously more interested in hunting hares, squatting on the ground at the moment, leading the two older children to find traces of hares.
In addition to the shepherd's cabbage, Chen Anxiu taught them to recognize some dandelions, bitter vegetables, grasshopper vegetables and human greens, all in all, the wild vegetables in this season are a little old, but pick up the tender pinch, go back and clean up well, the taste is still okay. But when he looked up again, the sugar balls and tons were gone, but with Ji Junxin by their side, he wasn't very worried.
Tao Tao and Yueran concentrated on picking red wolfberries in the grass on the side of the road.
After a long time, Ji Junxin led two small ones down from the mountain, but his hands were empty.
Jiang Ningtian laughed and said, "What about the hare you swear to catch?"
Ji Junxin patted the soil on his body, and helplessly spread his hands and said, "It's not good to be a teacher." β
Sugar Ball jumped out from behind him and said, "Sister Jiang, in fact, Uncle Ji and we really found the hare, but there are still two small ones in the nest over there, so we didn't catch them." β
In this chaotic generation, the sugar balls were all messed up together, Chen Anxiu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there are no hares, we can find something else to eat." β
October is a good time, a lot of wild fruits on the mountain are ripe, wild hawthorn, wild peaches, and wild apples, no more than the home planting, wild these fruits are relatively small, relatively speaking, also sour, but there are also sweet, that is, persimmons and soft jujubes, persimmons are a lot of families, soft jujube species are few, relatively rare, the soft jujube trees in Dongshan are not much, but looking for can always find so many in the bushes, now is really the time for soft jujube hanging fruit, unripe soft jujube is apricot yellow, ripe is purple, the skin is very soft, ripe soft jujube, a pinch like a blister, with a layer of hoarfrost outside, the meat inside is tender redIt tastes a bit like a persimmon, but it is much smaller than a persimmon, only the size of a date. Now is not the season of soft jujube ripening, to the early winter is about the same, in winter, there are often roadside carts to sell soft jujubes, soft jujube is sweeter, but the sequelae of eating too much is also very painful, that is, constipation.
Chen Anxiu and Ji Junxin picked up the ripe ones on the tree and ate them for everyone, and most of the women and children had no resistance to sweet things.

When Chen Anxiu was on the mountain, Lou Nan and Ye Jingqian received a call and needed to go down the mountain, so they entrusted the candy to Chen's father and Chen's mother, Chen's father's pancakes had been spread, he was sprinkling some water on the pancakes, ready to fold them, the pancakes that had just been made were very dry and crispy, if they didn't sprinkle some water now, they would be broken into slag when they ate it in two days. Chen's mother has already made lunch for Mao Mao, because Ruizhe is here today, she has made more, and the candy is enough.
Because the bubbling teeth have not yet grown, most of the things eaten are relatively soft and rotten, Chen's mother made chicken and mushroom stewed tofu today, she put three bowls on the table, someone outside bought something to pay, Xiao Qiao was in the yard, Chen's father was not free, she went out to say hello, and before leaving, let Li Wencai, who was holding Ruizhe, take care of the other two children, "Sister-in-law, you help watch for a while, don't let them burn themselves, I'll come over in a while." β
The candy can already eat by itself, he is hungry, so he takes the small spoon in the bowl and scoops it into his mouth, Li Wencai tried the temperature, it is not hot, and he didn't stop it, but he still won't eat it himself, so he stared dryly, and when he saw Li Wencai feeding Ruizhe, he also opened his mouth greedily.
"Wait, your grandma will come in right away. Li Wencai thought to herself that she didn't mean not to take care of her, but Ruizhe asked to chase after her every meal, how to say that she was also her grandson, she really didn't have time to take care of Maomao, "Ruizhe, really good, take another bite, take another bite, grandma will take it to buy a remote control plane in the afternoon." β
Seeing that the man didn't give him food, he sat down next to the candy and opened his mouth wide at him, "Ah......hh
The candy has been eaten for a long time, although there is not much in the bowl, he saw Mao Mao open his mouth to him, as if he hesitated for a moment, and finally made an unprecedented generosity after the end, and shook a mouthful of soup to his mouth to Mao Mao's mouth, and sprinkled more than half of Mao Mao's pants in the middle.
Ruizhe was a picky eater when eating, only picking up chicken and shiitake mushrooms and eating them, and didn't move a mouthful of tofu.
Ruizhe shook his head, "I still want to eat." β
It was rare for his grandson to have an appetite, Li Wencai was overjoyed, and when he saw that the bowl had not moved, and no one had come in outside, he reached into the bowl and picked up two pieces of chicken and mushrooms, and Ruizhe's bowl of tofu soup was placed on the table.
Candy didn't know what Lu Dao thought, Mu Mu didn't have much expression on his face, and he stretched out his hand and pushed Ruizhe's bowl to the ground, the bowl was not broken, but the soup inside spilled all over the ground.
