Chapter 5 Windfall
The air in the mountains is really good, Xiaoyu went all the way up the mountain, because of the rain just last night, there are still water droplets on the branches and weeds, and Xiaoyu's shoulders and feet are a little wet at the moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Xiaoyu stopped panting to rest, he found that he was halfway up the mountain, this road is obviously the people in the village who often go up the mountain to chop firewood or something, step out of a road, people come and go every day, how can there be something waiting for you.
Xiaoyu thought about her current situation, and maybe, she could try to change the path and go up the mountain.
Just thinking about it, on the left hand side of Xiaoyu, the weeds on the ground had traces of being stepped on, but there must be fewer people going up and down from here, so I made up my mind and drank saliva, and Xiaoyu continued to march along the place where I was trampled on.
As we walked, the trees became denser and denser, the light was not as bright as before, and the air was much cooler. Xiaoyu, who has little experience, is hairy in her heart, how can she feel a little gloomy.
Don't be afraid, don't scare yourself. The more places like this, the more surprises may lie ahead. Xiaoyu kept comforting herself, constantly giving herself courage, thinking about going in a little more, if she really didn't find anything, then she had to go home.
Just when Xiaoyu wanted to turn around and go back in frustration, he felt that his eyes were bright, and around a rotten tree in front of him, there were colorful mushrooms, and the bright colors were particularly eye-catching in the woods of such a yin forest.
But what makes Xiaoyu happy is not these colorful mushrooms, because subconsciously Xiaoyu knows that if you don't want to be poisoned, don't pick beautiful mushrooms. Just because he remembered this rule, Xiaoyu picked some white or black mushrooms next to those poisonous mushrooms, thinking that Li Shaoyang had been living here since he was a child, and when he took it home, he would let him pick and choose.
The light rain became more and more energetic, and slowly approached the rotting tree. What are these, she read it right, Xiaoyu blinked, the trunk of the rotten wood and the rotten wood scattered on the surrounding ground, densely covered with large and small fungus, that number, if someone with dense phobia looked at it, it would definitely get goosebumps all over his body.
Xiaoyu looked at the mushrooms and picked them almost, and the other ambiguous mushrooms that didn't know if they were poisonous or not, it was not worth losing their lives for such a little food, or these fungus were more reliable.
Ecstatic Xiaoyu, this time put the back basket from his back to the ground, opened the bow left and right with both hands, picked up the big one and threw it directly into the back basket. She also thought that those who were too small should be kept first, and then they would come back in a few days, wouldn't they grow up again, and in this cycle, wouldn't she have endless fungus? The more she thought about it, the more beautiful Xiaoyu became, as if she saw Grandpa Mao waving to her.
Finally, the back basket was full of spikes, and Xiaoyu gently pressed the fungus down, and pressed it on it with the broken sickle, so as not to spill the fungus on the way. Only then did he take up the basket and walk the way he was going.
Li Shaoyang, who is at home, has been nervous since Xiaoyu went out, secretly complaining that he is useless, and worrying about Xiaoyu's safety. I picked up the book on the bedside and looked at it, trying to divert my attention, but I couldn't turn the next page with the book in my hand. "It's almost noon, but why haven't you come back yet," muttered to himself.
"I'm back," accompanied by Xiaoyu's cheerful and happy voice, Li Shaoyang's heart, which had been hanging for most of the day, finally fell to the ground.
Xiaoyu carried the basket directly into the back room, "How about it, I'm going home with a full load today." ”
"It's really fake, don't come back with a basket of weeds," Li Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, he was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but tease her when he seized the opportunity.
Put the basket on the ground, "Don't underestimate people, you see, what is this?" ”
"Fungus, you found so many black fungus," Li Shaoyang was very happy, not because he was happy for more of these foods, but because Xiaoyu was happy, he was very happy, but he couldn't help but want to tease him, "It won't be who gave it, right?" ”
"No, I picked each of these pieces by myself," Xiaoyu was stunned, "That's right," Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the mushrooms under the back basket, and suddenly ran to the outhouse, looking for two old dustpans, one large and one small, and poured all the fungus on the back basket into the big dustpan, and then poured the remaining mushrooms into the small dustpan.
"Well, I also picked some mushrooms, but I know that eating poisonous mushrooms will kill you, can you help me see if I can eat these mushrooms?"
Li Shaoyang stretched out his hand and flicked the mushrooms handed over by Xiaoyu, "Well, it's not bad, these mushrooms can be eaten, don't worry." ”
"Okay, I'll make you a mushroom soup tonight, how about it?" Xiaoyu smiled with crooked eyebrows.
"Okay, just as you say." Looking at Xiaoyu's smile, Li Shaoyang suddenly looked forward to the future.
"What about these black fungus, I can't finish eating so much, if I can sell some of them, it would be nice to exchange them for something else."
"Well, I'll see. Tomorrow there will be a market in Hujia Village, you can take the fungus to the market and sell it, there should be people who want it, and after changing the money, you can buy some things for yourself. ”
"Really?" Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with excitement.
"I don't look at what the situation is at home now, I still want to buy my own things," Li Guihua was standing at the door, staring at Xiaoyu angrily, Li Shaoyang's "Of course" was stuck in his throat before he could say it.
Just now, Liu Guihua and Hu Mei passed by the door of Aunt Chrysanthemum, that is, the aunt Xiaoyu met in the morning, it happened that when Xiaoyu came back, they were not at work, watching Xiaoyu come back with a full back basket, I wanted to praise Xiaoyu in front of Liu Guihua, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Degui family, you just married, is also hardworking." I went up the mountain early in the morning, and I didn't know what I picked at noon, but I came back with a basket full of backs, and I was really blessed to marry such a diligent daughter-in-law! ”
When Hu Mei heard this, her eyes were spine, "Mom, it's full of baskets, she can't have dug up something good, let's take a look." ”
Hearing Hu Mei say this, Liu Guihua didn't wait for Aunt Chrysanthemum to finish speaking, and ran towards Shaoyang's broken earth house with the soles of her feet.
At this time, Hu Mei behind Liu Guihua poked her head out and looked at the ground in the house, a big dustpan of black fungus, her eyes lit up, and she said in a low voice, "Wow, Mom, look, it's so fresh black fungus, I always have no appetite for what to eat during this time, I always want to eat something light, at this time, if you fry a plate of crispy black fungus, it must be very appetizing, besides, I remember that my father also likes to eat black fungus." It's so fresh, whether it's stewed soup or stir-fry, it must be very good. ”
Liu Guihua's eyes were already red, and after listening to Hu Mei's words, she was even more confident, "Xiaoyu, you see that Hu Mei is pregnant now, eating more black fungus is good for the child, and your father also loves to eat, not to mention that Xiaoqing is going back to work in the town in the next two days, and she has to add a dish to her, right?" Liu Guihua said with a shy face.
"Uh, Mom, I didn't have anything at home, I wanted to take these black fungus to the market tomorrow and sell them in exchange for some daily necessities, since you want to eat, take some back and eat first, and I'll sell the rest," Xiaoyu thought she was very generous.
"Mom, this black fungus seems to be able to be dried in the sun, and it can be eaten slowly," Hu Mei heard Xiaoyu say this, and thought, it's really stingy, there is still one designated on the mountain, and then pick it again.
"Yes, it's just a little, it's not much, I'll take it back first, if you want to sell it, go back to the mountains and look for it, your father and I are old, I can't walk, Hu Mei is pregnant again, it's hard to rain lightly," Liu Guihua said, about to reach out to the big dustpan, Xu is looking at the stunned Xiaoyu, but also a little careless, thinking about how much to leave for people, so he took a handful and put it in the back basket on the side, "Also leave some for you to cook at night." ”
Hu Mei glanced at the mushrooms in the small pot on the ground, "Mom, the mushroom soup is also very fresh." ”
Liu Guihua saw the mushrooms on the side, reached out and picked up the small pot, poured two-thirds on the big pot of black fungus, but left one-third of it with a conscience, anyway, this mushroom is not much good?
"You, you ......" What do they usually do, Li Shaoyang just ignores them, but today these black fungus are Xiaoyu's heart to exchange things in the market, which makes him more uncomfortable than taking Li Shaoyang's own things, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
When Liu Guihua and Hu Mei disappeared like a gust of wind with a large dustpan of black fungus and mushrooms, Xiaoyu had not come back to his senses, what was the situation, was he robbed?
Looking at only a handful of black fungus under the back basket and some mushrooms in the small dustpan, I knew that all this was true just now, the fruits of my labor this day, those urgently needed daily necessities that were still floating in front of me, were they robbed so naked?
There are the best every year, and this year there are especially many.
That Aunt Chrysanthemum would never have thought that her kind praise would make Xiaoyu's hard day's labor go down the drain.
Sad to be sad, Xiaoyu who came back to his senses looked at Li Shaoyang on the bed, his pursed lips and clenched fists leaked the anger in his heart, but what his eyes revealed was a helpless and injured look, which made Xiaoyu feel distressed.
"Forget it, isn't that all that's left? We're going to have a good meal tonight. Worried that Li Shaoyang would be even more sad, Xiaoyu pretended to be relaxed and said.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry......" Li Shaoyang said in a hoarse voice.
"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's okay, don't worry, I know where there is fungus, tomorrow, I'll go up the mountain to pick it again, and then we'll get the East XC ready, and we won't let them find it." Xiaoyu's Li Shaoyang was more sad than her at this time, so he said angrily.
After speaking, Xiaoyu took the back basket and dustpan and the contents to the outhouse, and began to cook dinner.
It didn't take long for the smell of food wafting from the hut. When the mushroom soup was boiled, a plate of white rice was steamed on top, and at the end an egg was beaten, and a black fungus scrambled egg was scrambled with the pitiful little oil left at the bottom of the oil urn.
Looking at the fragrant black fungus scrambled eggs in front of him, the dazzling white white rice, and the large bowl of delicious mushroom soup, this is Li Shaoyang's most sumptuous meal since he was injured.
When they devoured the dishes and chopsticks, they found that at least the amount of food of the three people had been swept clean by the two, leaving only an empty bowl and two round bellies. How many days have they not eaten such a full meal.
