Chapter Eighty-Six: Up the Mountain

After washing the dishes in the cafeteria at noon, Sister-in-law Qi and another military sister-in-law still had some things to finish, and Shen Hui still remembered that Wang Aihong was alone on the fifty-seventh, so she went back first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, this Nizi sat on the small bench with her cheeks held up and looked at the vegetable seedlings that had just emerged.

"You're back! Don't have to cook in the afternoon? ”

"Well, don't do it, there is another shift of military wives to do it in the afternoon, there are three shifts in total, and we are at noon. By the way, did you have lunch? ”

"Eat, Lichun gave it to me!" Wang Aihong stretched her waist and said.

Shen Hui nodded, then walked into the house and asked, "What are you going to do in the afternoon?" ”

"I don't know. What about you? ”

"Normally, of course, it's a textbook review. However, let's go to Houshan today, didn't Aunt Sun say that there are mushrooms on the mountain yesterday, I will make mushroom soup for you at night after picking mushrooms, and by the way, I am picking some wild vegetables to improve the food! Someone who had eaten enough cabbage and radish completely said.

"Good!" Wang Aihong jumped up from the small stool excitedly, "When I was a child, my sister and I also went to the nearby mountains to pick wild vegetables, I remember it was fun!" ”

Shen Huibai glanced at her, "It's not fun, this mountain road is not easy to walk, don't be tired when you arrive!" ”

Wang Aihong used to sell watches in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she was able to enter the supply and marketing cooperative, which shows that the family conditions are relatively good, who knows if she can stand the hardships of climbing the mountain, or it is better to explain it in advance.

"No problem, I'm not a big lady, I can still bear this little hardship!" Wang Ai came back in vain.

Ten minutes later, the two tied their trouser legs, took the two baskets and prepared to set off, "Shen Hui, shall we dig with our hands?" ”

"Let's go to the other side to see if Sister-in-law Qi is back, call her to go with her, she should have extra shovels at home!"

"Oh, you have a good relationship with this sister-in-law Qi, and she came to call you in the morning!"

"Well, sister-in-law Qi is good!" The relationship between the two families is a few steps away, and they arrived while talking, the courtyard door was open, and Sister-in-law Qi was taking Xiao Lei to talk about the jujube tree in the corner of their vegetable field.

"You're going up the mountain, wait for me, I'll go too!" Sister-in-law Qi looked at the outfits of the two and the basket they were carrying in their hands and said.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we'll just go with you." Shen Hui said with a smile.

Saying that, by the way, he glanced at Xiao Lei, who was hiding behind Qi's sister-in-law, Xiao Lei was much better than before, and when I saw her yesterday, she didn't hide, but because of the stranger Wang Aihong, she retracted again.

"Xiao Lei, come to Auntie, see what Auntie has brought you!"

Saying that, he spread out his palms, and there were two milk candies, which Gu Zhengqin specially brought to her when he came back this time, a total of fifteen, and every time he came, he brought two to Xiao Lei, and Xiao Lei gradually became closer to her.

Sure enough, Xiao Lei's eyes lit up immediately, and he still remembered the taste of this sugar!

"You said you, there are only a few in total, and you gave them all to Xiao Lei!" Sister-in-law Qi glanced at Shen Hui and touched Xiao Lei's head, "Auntie will give it to you, just go ahead, but you can't just pick up other people's!" ”

After speaking, he explained to Wang Aihong, "I'm just worried that Xiao Lei is rude to pick up other people's things casually, Sister Wang, don't think too much!" ”

Wang Aihong shook her head.

After a while, Sister-in-law Qi prepared all the things, and she did have three shovels at home, just one for each person.

Just as he was about to go out, Sister-in-law Qi's trouser leg was pulled, Xiao Lei leaned up and whispered, "Mom, I want to go too." ”

Sister-in-law Qi pulled down his little hand and explained: "Mom and aunts are on business, not to play, if you want to play, Mom will take you there another day!" ”

Xiao Lei's eyes immediately darkened, Shen Hui couldn't help but feel distressed, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Qi, Xiao Lei can bring it if you want to go, it's not a task, how much you have to pick, just pick enough to eat for a few days, and besides, what about the three of us adults, can't we take care of a child?" ”

When Sister-in-law Qi heard this, she looked at Xiao Lei's bright eyes again, and her heart softened and agreed, "...... But, Xiao Lei, you can't run around, there are poisonous snakes on the mountain, in case you are bitten, you will never see your mother again, understand? ”

The little head nods like pounded garlic, and it is indescribably cute.

"Let's be on the periphery, it's too dangerous inside, I just happen to know a place where there are a lot of wild vegetables, and I go there every year to pick them!" Sister-in-law Qi carried the basket in one hand and led Xiao Lei in one direction with the other.

"Well, Aihong and I are not very familiar with this place, and we can't ask for the road you gave us!" Shen Hui said with a smile.

"What's that?" Wang Aihong asked, pointing to a safflower tree with long and narrow leaves.

Shen Hui shook her head, she didn't know either.

"I don't know." I didn't expect Sister-in-law Qi to know, "But in the summer, it will bear bunches of red fruits, juicy and sweet, even I like to eat them." ”

As she spoke, she came to the vicinity of a few locust trees, and Sister-in-law Qi also stopped to wipe the sweat on her head, "You see, there are only a lot of people here, so let's be here." ”

This open space is full of calf-high wild vegetables and wild grasses, and there are large mushrooms next to the trees, which look full of life, Shen Hui just can't wait to put these wild vegetables and mushrooms into the basket immediately, and he has already come up with more than a dozen ways to do it in his heart.

Xiao Lei also let go of Sister-in-law Qi's hand to grab a mushroom next to the tree, Sister-in-law Qi thought about it and asked, "By the way, you all know what mushrooms are poisonous, and what mushrooms can be eaten?" ”

Shen Hui nodded, "I know some!" ”

Wang Aihong shook her head, at most she dug up a wild vegetable, where she had picked mushrooms.

"That's good, Aihong and I specialize in digging wild vegetables, sister-in-law Qi, you know more and pick up mushrooms! When the time comes, we divide it evenly. Shen Hui thought about it and said.

Sister-in-law Qi smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's it!" ”

Now is the period when wild vegetables are vigorous, and there are many kinds of wild vegetables here, such as camellia, purslane, mother-in-law, alfalfa and so on.

Shen Hui also saw a few koji hemp plants, and picked them easily, this kind of koji hemp is scalded in boiling water, whether it is cold salad or dipping sauce, it is delicious.

After a while, a large patch of bracken was found, and Shen Hui hurriedly beckoned Wang Aihong over.

Bracken is one of Shen Hui's favorite wild vegetables, especially the bracken minced and mixed with meat to make dumplings, not to mention how delicious it is, when she was in the village before, she and Shen Cong dug a lot of bracken every spring, and her father bought some meat, and a family of four wrapped bracken dumplings to eat, her mother's craftsmanship is good, Shen Hui can eat more than 20 at a time, and now I can't help drooling when I think about it.

"Bracken dumplings are delicious, Ming'er asked Chen Qingquan to bring us a piece of pork belly, and we can make dumplings later!" Shen Hui said excitedly.
