Chapter 834: Picking Mountain Fruits
After glancing at her grandson a few times, the old lady began to complain to Wen Xu.
"You said that this old Taoist priest is really, what is it to do if you have nothing to do and let the child eat so much Sangkan, look at the ...... of the clothes to eat."
The old man, one of the characteristics is nagging, Wen Xu listened with a smile here, and did not refute it, anyway, the mother-in-law said that Wen Xu couldn't help but agree, there is no need to talk to the old lady about any reason, and the mother-in-law insisted on breaking the truth clearly, so it is estimated that the old mother-in-law does not want to see Wen Xu.
When Shi Ma was chatting with Wen Xu, Shi Shang really came back, and when he entered the courtyard, he heard his mother complaining that Lao Dao spoiled the child too much.
So she casually said to her mother: "You are embarrassed to talk about others, you can see for yourself what you have spoiled Guang Jue!"
"When did I spoil them, children are making trouble now, we have to be tolerant, besides, if the boy is not skinny, where is there a boy, can't he be a good boy and raise a little girl......
It always makes sense for the old lady to be like this, it is natural for her to spoil her grandson, and it is not a pet in her eyes, but she is not happy when others do this.
Lao Dao's education of children may make her feel a little uncomfortable, in Wen Xu's opinion, the most estimated is jealousy, his own grandson to an outsider will memorize Tang poems and Song lyrics at such a young age, and also have a little understanding of some historical allusions, which makes the old lady feel as if she is an unqualified grandmother, the old lady can't find a sense of existence, so she naturally can't look past the old way.
Fortunately, the old lady is a face-saving person, and she doesn't look bad in front of people, so Lao Dao still doesn't know that he is annoying the old lady. Besides, with an old-fashioned temperament, even if you know it, you probably won't go to your heart. In his eyes, it is estimated that most people in this world are ordinary people.
"By the way, when will Dad arrive?" Shi Shangzhen didn't want to talk to her mother about such a trivial matter, and she also knew that it was not clear to her mother about this matter, so she simply opened her mouth and changed the topic.
When Wen Xu heard his daughter-in-law ask, he immediately asked in surprise, "Dad is coming over too?"
Shi Shangzhen turned his head to look at Wen Xu, and said in surprise: "Didn't I tell you something, Dad is going to visit and study in Jiangnan, and he is going to live in the village for a day and a night."
"When did you tell me?" Wen Xu hung a few black lines on the door of his head.
Shi Shangzhen didn't care when he heard it, and threw a sentence at Wen Xu: "Then don't you know now, my dad will come in a few days, what do you have to prepare, and if you want to honor your father-in-law, you can prepare."
After speaking, Shi Shangzhen looked at his mother.
The senior mother didn't look at her daughter, but looked at Wen Xu, the son-in-law, and said: "How can you talk to Da Xu, this kid, you have a mouth, your father-in-law, your father-in-law, and he is still your father! Da Xu, don't pay attention to her, there is still more than a week to go, and he can't stay here for long, and I don't know what this official has to do, like the first two years should be thinking about retirement, and now it's good! The four seasons are busy, and there is not even a day to rest!"
Wen Xu understands that the master family is now the time when the green and yellow are not connected, like the originally not very good-looking father here has begun to pick up Liang, sometimes Wen Xu thinks about these political families are really tired, originally the father's temperament is lighter, and now he has to climb to the top step by step, although it is an official promotion, but the old man may not be very happy. But it can't be done if you don't do it, it's not just the life of the family, but the future of the whole family, and there is no option for him to like it or not.
Thinking of this, Wen Xu felt that his daughter-in-law was also a half-old high-ranking cadre, but he didn't get any quotas or slips on his side, and it was estimated that no one would believe him. When I think of this, I can't help but feel like laughing in my heart!
"If you want me to say, it's good to let Daxu be an official, save half a day and help others," the old lady muttered from her mouth after speaking.
For the old lady, any nephews and nephews are all outsiders, what does it have to do with herself, expecting others to be fake, and her own children are reliable. Now the old man is busy looking at the bed, daughter and son-in-law, the most important thing is that the little grandson of his own family is not touched, which makes the old lady unhappy, and the political resources of the old man can't fall into her own bowl, and the old lady feels a little uncomfortable when she thinks about it.
Shi Shangzhen smiled and said, "Mom, don't say this in front of my grandfather!"
"I'm not stupid! "What are you doing talking about this in front of the old man?" said the old lady.
"Mom, it's not that you don't know me, I can't do this with my lazy nature! I can't serve people, I'm used to being lazy," Wen Xu said with a smile.
The senior mother glanced at Wen Xu: "If you do it, it will be better than your father's work, you are a smart child, but your life is too comfortable, and you are not forced to that job......
"Yo, you can praise your son-in-law vigorously!" Shi Shangzhen said jokingly.
After speaking, he said to Wen Xu: "I said that you made your mother-in-law praise a flower, don't show it today? Hurry up and make a few specialty dishes!"
"Okay, no problem!" Wen Xu said with a smile.
"Oh, yes, Cozy!"
Seeing that Wen Xu was about to go out, the old lady immediately stopped Wen Xu: "By the way, your dad hasn't rested very well in a few days, you can get some black honey."
"Mom, I know, I'll cut fresh ones for him when Dad comes" Wen Xu nodded in response.
Seeing that the old lady had nothing else to do, Wen Xu went out to get a chicken, and a fish began to take care of it. Steamed a chicken, the fish was braised in a braised whole, it was pouring rain outside, Wen Xu's family sat around the table lively, the authentic home-cooked food Wen Xu is now making a thief, and the old lady praised and couldn't stop holding the dishes for her grandson while eating.
When the meal was almost finished and cleaned up, the rain outside stopped, and the temperature in the entire Wenjia Village suddenly dropped to a cool twenty degrees.
Watching people play chess under the street lamp, watching others play cards, finding a place where someone has a radio, listening to a joke and making a commentary, this is more comfortable in my heart than watching any New York or Paris.
After wandering around for more than an hour, Wen Xu returned home, first coaxed the child to sleep, and then slept until dawn with his daughter-in-law.
After exercising in the morning, Wen Xu returned home, and was about to go out for a walk after eating, when he heard his mother-in-law stop him.
"Da Xu, is there anything wrong today?" asked the senior mother.
Wen Xu shook his head and said, "What can I do, where are you going?"
Wen Xu thought that the old lady was going to the county or somewhere to use the car, and wanted to let herself give it away.
"No, the child is clamoring to eat Sangkan in the morning, if you are okay, go to the mountains and pick some, don't pick a small basket more," the old lady said, handing Wen Xu the small basket that had been prepared a long time ago.
Wen Xu took the basket and was about to go out, Shi Shangzhen pricked up his ears and heard it, and immediately said: "Don't pick Sangkan, pick some others, if there are Yamanashi eggs, pick some back!"
"What's so delicious about that thing!" the old lady was a little unhappy, blaming her daughter for not fulfilling the wishes of her three little grandchildren.
"Sangkan is sweet, but you can't care if you're full!" Shi Shangzhen was determined not to let the child eat Sangkan again today.
After speaking, he said to Wen Xu: "I said that you are not allowed to pick it, pick something else and come back!"
"Okay" Wen Xu glanced at his daughter-in-law, then at the old mother-in-law, and saw that the old mother-in-law didn't speak, so she had to nod and go out with her small basket.
took the pillars, recruited Erbai, and set off towards the old forest.
When he entered the old forest, Wen Xu met the children in the village, one by one, who were either leading dogs or horses, needless to say, they went into the mountains to pick wild fruits. But Wen Xu couldn't rob the children, so he simply went to the forest and went deeper into the woods to pick.
The so-called mountain plough eggs are really not easy to find, this thing is a little like a small cherry, but the color is not red, but brown, like the kind of brown pear in the countryside, or it would not be called a mountain pear egg.
The fruit of the pear egg is only the size of soybeans, and it bears clusters, and this thing is generally not used to collect mountain goods, but it is very effective to treat what the stomach is swollen.
Sometimes this thing is so strange, you can see some from time to time when you don't want to look for it, but when you make up your mind to find it, you can't find it, Wen Xu drilled a long distance into the old forest, and didn't see a single one, to the wild mulberry tree encountered a lot, of course, there is no miss, Wen Xu also picked some mulberry and put it in the space to preserve.
Walking along the mountainside for a while, Wen Xu saw a small clearing, the fiery red stars on the ground were very beautiful, and when he got closer, Wen Xu was immediately happy, and he had no opinion on encountering the thorn canopy fruit.
This fruit is a bit like a wolfberry, it is also a bush, you know that there are thorns on the bush when you hear the name, the fruit is not big, smaller than a cherry and a little bigger than a wolfberry, it tastes sweet, but it is not too sweet, and there is a small core in the middle of the fruit. The fruit is sweet, but if the kernel is bitten, it will be bitter, and those who will eat it are generally very careful, and they will not chew it after knocking the small kernel out.
picked one and put it in his mouth, Wen Xu chewed it a few times and found that it was still the taste of his childhood, so he picked it up directly, picking almost two or three catties, Wen Xu put it away and continued to look for eggs along the mountainside.
In the end, Wen Xu finally found one, the fruit is average, and when they are all picked, they are only two catties smaller, but they are ripe to the point that they are quite transparent, and the dark brown skin is full of goose yellow.
I picked one and put it in my mouth, with a slight sourness, such a small fruit put it in my mouth, and immediately the saliva in my mouth came out.
Shaking his head, Wen Xu took his hand out of the basket, put down the Yamanashi egg in his hand, and was about to beckon Yu Erbai and Dongliang to turn back, when suddenly he heard a banging gunfire from the forest.
Wen Xu couldn't help but wonder here, so he took Dongliang and rode Erbai to the direction of the gunshot.
