October, persimmons

After the busy farming, it is a rare rest time, Chunqiu wanted to hide at home and enjoy this leisure time, but she didn't expect to be pulled to the back mountain by her mother Yuan early in the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother, why are you still going up the mountain?" Chunqiu followed behind Yuan, wondering in his heart that he hadn't just been there before?

"Didn't my mother pick two wild persimmons before? Yesterday my mother met your Aunt Lin, she just came back from the mountain, saying that the wild persimmons on the mountain are good, I saw that you and Huzi ate well, we are also free now, pick some back and put it in the house, and usually have some snacks to eat."

Yuan turned his head and smiled at Chunqiu as he walked forward cautiously. The snacks that the farmers usually eat are also wild fruits produced in the mountains, and the wild persimmons are big and sweet when they are ripe, and the time to put them is not short, and they can also make persimmon cakes.

"Mother, what do you usually make of the wild persimmons when you pick them home?" "Chunqiu wants to make sure that there is no such thing as persimmon cakes in this era, if not, then she will start to make money, thinking that she can make money again, Chunqiu is very excited.

"Of course not, just put it for how long you can put it, people in our village like to make persimmon cakes to eat" Yuan replied with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he also reached out to the shape of the persimmon cake for Chunqiu, "It's the one you ate last year, Niuniu also said that this cake is sweet and sour, and you want to continue to eat it" Yuan thought of the small appearance of Chunqiu last year, and laughed unconsciously.

Different from what Yuan said lightly, Chunqiu was shocked after hearing it, it turned out that the persimmon cake had already come out, so how could she make money, "Mother, is there anything sold in the persimmon cake market?"

"Persimmon cake, this is a cheap food, it's not worth much, and every household has it, who buys it?" Yuan waved his hand funny, Yuan's tone was relaxed, and what he said was an ordinary little thing, but it was a big news in the ears of Chunqiu and Chunqiu, isn't it, it turns out that this thing has not only been made, but it is not worth much.

"Mother, don't you say that these wild fruits in the mountains are all poisonous? How can the people in the village still know that these can be eaten or not?" Doesn't it mean that the ancient people were the kind of peasants who only knew how to work in the fields and didn't know anything else? How did they know that wild persimmons could be eaten? They could also make persimmon cakes, and they were a little confused in the spring and autumn, which was different from what was written in the novel.

"Hmm, who said that?" Yuan turned around directly, looked at Chunqiu who was still dazed, and said with a helpless wry smile, "Niuniu, how can you say this, you don't know the famine year in the past few years, let alone this wild fruit, even the bark on the mountain has been ripped down by the village gate and cooked and eaten, and the old people in the village are all on the mountain all year round, and they all know everything that can be eaten and what can't be eaten in this mountain."

After Yuan Shi finished saying a long paragraph, he felt that his throat was a little dry, so he rested for a while, and then waited until his throat was relieved, and then said, " The herbs that Niuniu picked before, in fact, the people in our village also know some simple ones, and sometimes they will pick some and take them home to dry, and when the time comes, there is a headache and brain fever at home can also be used, but our farmer family mainly farms, but I don't have time to go up the mountain to pick these things, as well as the tea picked by my mother, that is because the people in the village like to go to the east, so the good things in the west are cheap for our family, but people don't know anything."

It turned out to be like this, her heart slowly swung to the bottom, she took it for granted, when she heard that her mother was going to pick wild persimmons, she was going to make persimmon cakes and sell them, but her mother directly extinguished her thoughts, the people in the village are not stupid, and the mountain behind this is so big, what is naturally clear, she is too naïve.

After Yuan finished speaking, he didn't hear an echo behind him for a long time, and when he turned around, he found that his daughter's face behind him was a little wrong.

"Niuniu, what are you doing? Why are you still in a daze?" Yuan Shi was a little worried, reached out and patted Chunqiu's little shoulder, and hurriedly called his daughter back, why was he suddenly unhappy?

"Ahh Chunqiu shouted and looked at Yuan blankly, and then lowered her head decadently, she was adjusting her attitude, well, it is undeniable that the previous soup dumplings, crispy loaches, and cold skin were all successful, which made Chunqiu's confidence a little inflated, there is the kind of idea that I come from modern times and I will do anything, I think it is easy to make money, she treats everyone as a fool, when she heard Yuan's conversation with Yang Weibai behind her back, she was still a little unimpressed, what is so difficult about new food, there are so many snacks in modern times, and there are a lot of ingredients, and then she will make it herself?

As a result, Chunqiu's heart is a little devastated now, maybe all the things that were taken for granted before have also appeared? She is just a child with modern memories here, how much ability can she have!

But we can't be completely pessimistic, although the wisdom of the ancients is very high, but didn't she make a lot of money with the snacks of the later generations? Well, she still has a chance.

"Niuniu, hurry up and take two steps, we can see the persimmon tree after we go up the mountain, and it will be our turn to go to the rice in two days."

Yuan walked fast, and when she reached the foot of the mountain to the east, Chunqiu and her had already distanced themselves.

"Eh, mother, I'm coming" Chunqiu hurriedly agreed, then took two deep breaths and ran over, that is, she is a person with some rich spiritual knowledge, so she will not be defeated like this!

"You little girl, what do you want? walk so slowly" Yuan waited until Chunqiu ran to her side, then turned around and walked in, and was worried that Chunqiu would not be able to keep up with his pace, Yuan deliberately slowed down a little this time.

Chunqiu thought of what happened in the shop before, and asked directly, "Mother, what is the use of our shop in the future?" I heard grandma say before, Liangpi can't be done, so what can be done?" Although Chunqiu asked, she didn't dare to directly say that she overheard the news, so she had to tell a grandma's lie, anyway, grandma loves her, so she shouldn't take care of it.

"Well, children's families, what are you doing with all this, aren't there still grandma?" Yuan smiled and avoided the topic directly.

"Isn't this just asking?" Chunqiu looked at Yuan Shi with a pretended grievance.

Yuan was amused by her little expression, but he still didn't tell her, just smiled and didn't speak.

Chunqiu saw it in her eyes, and obediently didn't continue to ask, it seems that her mother has made up her mind not to let her participate in this matter, then she can only think of other ways, anyway, she is so smart, it can't be difficult for her!

The two don't know how long they walked, anyway, when they looked up in the spring and autumn, they saw a persimmon forest, autumn has arrived, the leaves on the persimmon trees have become yellow, and then they fall down with the wind, and the persimmon trees are hung with small red lanterns, which look very festive.

Not every persimmon tree is full of persimmon fruits, many trees are bare, and a general glance in spring and autumn shows that it is estimated that one-third of the trees have been plucked.

"Niuniu, don't look at it, come over and help my mother pick" Yuan is already standing in front of the persimmon tree, next to the back basket, the wild persimmon tree is not high, Yuan as long as he stretches out his hand, he can get to the persimmon fruit on the tree, Yuan reached out and picked two and put them in the back basket, looked back and found that his daughter was still standing in place without moving, so anxious that Yuan had to call her over.

"Oh, here, mother" Chunqiu directly put the small back basket on the ground on the back, and then ran over, nodded on tiptoe, took the not thick branch in Yuan's hand, carefully fixed it, and then watched her mother pick the persimmon fruit on the branch.

"Mother, if you take the persimmon fruit on the tree, did the people in the village pick it?"

Yuan Shi put persimmons in the back basket, and lowered his head and said, "Yes, this persimmon can also be made into persimmon cakes, and there is nothing to eat at home in winter, so I will eat some fruit to satisfy my hunger."

"Mother, then let's pick a little more and eat," Chunqiu said with a smile.

"That's not going to happen, let's pick a lot after we finish our work, what should we do with the rest of the people who haven't picked it?" Yuan shook his head with a smile, "These wild persimmons are also considered to be things in the village, just pick a little bit in every household to relieve their cravings, this thing eats too much and hurts her stomach, and Niuniu doesn't want to drink bitter herbs."

"Then I know, mother, let's pick a basket is enough" Chunqiu nodded and said, I didn't expect the people in the village to be so simple.

"This is my mother's good girl, let's pick a basket is enough" Yuan finished speaking, and asked Chunqiu to loosen the branch that had no fruit, and then reached out and dragged another branch full of persimmons and handed it to Chunqiu.

During this period, the Yuan family also met several villagers who came to pick persimmons with baskets on their backs, and Yuan first greeted a few people, and then got busy.

Yuan's picked quickly, and it didn't take long for her to pick a full basket, and Chunqiu was afraid that her mother would be tired on her back, so she put some in her small back basket, although her small back basket didn't put much.

"Sister Yu, let's go back" Yuan held the shoulder strap of the back basket, and said hello to Yu Shi on the same side before leaving, Yu is the daughter-in-law of the seventh grandmother's family, and the Spring and Autumn family is also considered to be the same clan, by the way, the seventh grandmother is the old lady who came to her house to ask for eggs before.

"Eh, sister-in-law Yuan, is this going back?" Yu Shi was busy picking persimmons, and when she heard someone calling her on the side, she hurriedly let go of the branch in her hand and replied with a smile.

"That's right, why didn't Aunt Seven come?" Yuan smiled and asked casually.

"My mother is playing with the plug at home" Yu smiled, and his hand did not stop.

"Sister, you decorate less, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back" Yuan Shi glanced down at the back basket that was one size bigger than her, and kindly reminded him.

"Mmmm, it's okay, sister-in-law, this is what my mother asked me to carry over, it just so happens that the plug also likes to eat, and it's okay to pick more more" Yu Shi said with some embarrassment.

After hearing this, Yuan also understood what Yu meant, and according to her seven aunts' small temperament, I was afraid that Yu would like to go back with a basket full of backs.

"Then Qiu'er and I will go first..."

"Eh, sister-in-law, go slowly..."

Yuan waved his hand at Yu again, and then went down the mountain one after the other with the Spring and Autumn Period, when he came, it belonged to the uphill slope, and it was natural to walk hard, and it was downhill to go back, and it was a little unstable at the same time, no way, there were too many people on his back, and the Spring and Autumn Period naturally did not dare to go fast.

Since the last time the mother and daughter fell on the path when they were close to each other, the Yuan family no longer took the spring and autumn to walk on that path, and now the mother and daughter go up the mountain, no matter how late it is, they will take the road back, and Yang Weibai will also come to pick them up if they return late, but they don't have to worry about safety.

When I went back, Chunqiu also saw her eldest aunt Gu and Chunhua sisters at the foot of the mountain, all three of them carried back baskets, Chunqiu looked at it, and knew that several people were also going to pick persimmons, this was the first time that her Chunni sister went out in recent times, and she was detained in the room by her aunt to do embroidery work before.

Her eldest aunt was busy picking persimmons, and when she saw Yuan's mother and daughter, she simply greeted her, and then pulled the spring flowers and left, Yuan raised her eyebrows and didn't care.

"Mother, why do you still pick so many at the eldest uncle's house" Chunqiu looked at the back basket on her eldest uncle's back, and the big back basket of Aunt Yu before, even Sister Chunni carried the same as Yuan's.

"Won't your eldest aunt still give it to her mother's family?" Yuan replied.

"Oh" Chunqiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Okay, let's hurry home, we're going to eat soon" Yuan turned around and directly reached out and grabbed Chunqiu's sleeve, Chunqiu handed his hand over, "Little Ghost Spirit" Yuan smiled and didn't let go, "Hey, hey" Chunqiu cracked the corners of his mouth, and his gripped hand shook from side to side. "Okay, okay, let's go" Yuan reached out and patted Chunqiu's swaying little arm, pretending to be serious to scare Chunqiu.

How can Spring and Autumn be afraid, being amused by her mother, the mother and daughter walked home while making trouble, and met many people who went to the back mountain with backpacks on their backs, and the Yuan family also greeted them with a smile.

"Mother, why are all the people in the village going today?" Chunqiu looked at the women who walked by one after another, a little curious.

"Why else, I'm afraid that if I go late, I'll be gone" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Chunqiu listened to her mother's words, lowered her head and thought about it seriously, her mother was right, it is really possible, alas, although there are a lot of persimmons on the mountain, but they can't stand a basket of backs, "Mother, fortunately, we went early, otherwise we wouldn't be able to pick it" Chunqiu finished speaking, and patted his little chest with a scared face.

"That's not it, you look at it, it's too late, and you will definitely have to complain if you don't pick it up, so let's go home quickly" Yuan laughed after speaking, Chunqiu saw Yuan's appearance, and also laughed, and the mother and daughter went home with a smile.

At home, Yang Li was turning over the rice ears in the yard, the previous ears were pinched off, and the dried rice seedlings were bundled and put aside, ready to be crushed and thrown into the ground as fertilizer when spring began.

After the two came in, Yuan first carried his basket of persimmons back to the house, and the basket of persimmons on Chunqiu's back was directly given to Yang Li.

"Grandma, this is the persimmon that Qiu'er gave you" Chunqiu stood behind Yang Li with a small basket on his back. Then he stretched out his hand and untied the back basket, Yang Li and Old Man Yang are both old, their teeth are not good, and it is naturally not good to eat persimmons, and Yang Li and Yang Li don't like to eat either, so they don't take much in the spring and autumn.

"Oh, grandma's good granddaughter is back, are you tired? It's all for grandma, the good granddaughter is really sweet, I'm happy with my wife" Yang Li turned his head and first cared about Chunqiu, and then praised Chunqiu, which made Chunqiu a little embarrassed.

"Grandma, I'll put you in the house" Chunqiu finished speaking, and laboriously picked up the small back basket.

"The food at home is good, the good granddaughter comes out to eat directly," Yang Li shouted.

"Eh, I know..."Chunqiu replied, and ran into the house in a blink of an eye......
