I found an old basket that my grandfather had knitted in the yard, and said to my grandmother, "Grandma Xiaoyun also goes to dig wild vegetables and cook more vegetables at night." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" ran away with the basket.

"Yun girl, you run slowly, and you will go again after a break." Grandma shouted Yang Yun at the door, waved her hand to grandma and ran, Xiaoxuan They should be digging wild vegetables at the foot of the back mountain, trotting to the back mountain and seeing a few half-grown children digging wild vegetables over there, Zhoujia Village is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road out of the village, and the place where I picked up firewood is on the side of the mountain on the road out of the village, which is called Qianshan, so I didn't meet Xiaoxuan them.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Bao."

"Sister, Sister Yun." When Yang Xuan and Xiaobao saw Yang Yun, they both ran towards her.

"Sister, you see Xiao Xuan dug up half a basket of wild vegetables." Yang Xuan handed the basket to Yang Yun as if offering treasures, Yang Yun reached out and touched Yang Xuan's head, praising Xiaoxuan for being really capable. Yang Xuan scratched his hair shyly. Yang Xuan has no friends, he is more introverted, he usually only plays with Xiaobao, I hope Xiaoxuan can be more lively, this is the performance that a five-year-old child should have. I only sigh that the family is poor, the Yang family is a foreigner, and there is not much contact with the people in the village, and I usually see the villagers only nodding friends, and the children in the village do not play with Xiaoxuan.

Alas...... This family is so poor, I can't eat enough every day, I came for more than ten days, I only ate two eggs in the few days when I was sick, or Aunt Li sent them, it is estimated that Aunt Li and her family have not eaten eggs for a long time, their family is an old hen, it would be good to save two eggs and send Yang Yun.

"Xiaobao, let's dig up wild vegetables on the mountain, the wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain have been dug up."

"Sister Yun, Daddy won't let you go up to the mountain, there are wild beasts."

"It's okay, let's not go to the top of the mountain, just dig halfway up the mountain, there are many wild vegetables in the middle of the mountain, dig it all and go back."

Take Xiao Xuan and Xiao Bao to the halfway up the mountain. The mountain surrounded by the first layer of Zhoujia Village is not high, and you have to go over the back of the hill before going deep into the mountain. There are often people on the hill to collect firewood, half a year ago Daddy they were also hunting on the hill, it was spring, most animals hibernate and woke up, there are few large beasts on the hill, Daddy was too unlucky, there is a tiger estimated to be attacked by other beasts, injured and strung to the hill, just hit Daddy and Uncle Li, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the tiger was injured but still injured Daddy and Uncle Li, Daddy in order to push away Uncle Li, the neck of the tiger grabbed a blood hole, excessive blood loss and casualties, the tiger also took the opportunity to escape, Aunt Li wiped her tears and said that if it weren't for Daddy pushing Uncle Li away, Uncle Li might not be there now.

There are often people chopping firewood on the hill, and the trees are not too luxuriant, and in a blink of an eye I saw a field of wild vegetables, amaranth, mother-in-law, and dragon head cabbage, and soon dug up a basket. Xiao Xuan and Xiao Bao were also full, and when the three of them were about to go back, I suddenly saw a green wild vegetable, dark green, with zigzag edges, and large leaves in the shape of round tips, isn't that burdock root! The night before I crossed to Haoguo, I drank burdock tea, burdock tea has the effect of regulating blood lipids, can replenish blood and calcium, moisturize the skin, and beautify the effect. Before burdock tea was made, it was an ordinary wild vegetable that could be eaten. In modern times, many beauty products are made from burdock root extract essence to make beauty and skin care products. I don't know if there are many burdock vegetables on the hill, but if they can be collected and sold in pharmacies, they can subsidize their families, and it would be great if they could be grown in large quantities.

"Sister, we don't know the wild vegetables, don't pick them indiscriminately, if you eat them, your stomach will not be good." Xiao Xuan saw Yang Yun in a daze at the burdock cabbage, thinking that she was going to pick the burdock cabbage.

"Just look at it, I didn't pick it, I just thought it was a wild vegetable that could be eaten. Let's go home, it's getting dark. "Now you must not pick, an illiterate peasant girl, suddenly know a lot of medicinal herbs, the consequences are unimaginable, the village on Dr. Xu knows medicinal herbs, if you can know the herbs through the relationship of Dr. Xu, maybe you can collect herbs to sell. I'm so poor that I want to sell everything I see.

Dr. Xu is also an outsider, about forty years old, only heard that his family is he and a wife, no children and no daughters, settled in Zhoujia Village ten years ago, usually by picking herbs and treating people to earn some rice grain, three years ago when picking medicine to break his foot, because in the mountains for a long time has not been found, and when his father went to chop firewood, he was delayed in the town, and his leg has been disabled since then. Walking is a little lame, so there is no way to go to the mountains to collect some precious medicinal materials, and life is hard. Dr. Xu helped Grandma Yang and Yang Yun to see a doctor without receiving a penny, owing Dr. Xu 200 Wen or because the original owner fell into the river and was sick and lacked some medicinal materials, so he had to go to the town pharmacy to buy it, not to mention 200 Wen in the Yang family's situation at the time, even the 200 Wen may not be able to be found, and in the end, it was Dr. Xu who helped the Yang family pay for the medicine first, and the 200 Wen was estimated to be saved for a long time! For a long time!

After observing the surrounding environment, next time I must find a way to pick some herbs for rice grain, I am really hungry these days. When they returned home with Xiao Xuan, the sun was in the west, and it was estimated that around five o'clock in the afternoon, there was no way to estimate the time correctly.

"Grandma, Xiao Yun and Xiao Xuan are back, picking two baskets of wild vegetables, I want to cook more wild vegetables tonight." Lift the basket to the water tank, pick out the portion to cook tonight, and store the rest in the stove.

"Sister, Xiao Xuan will help you wash the vegetables." Yang Xuan ran to Yang Yun's side and scrambled to help with the work.

"No need, my sister will wash it quickly, you go and wash it quickly, it's as dirty as a wild cat." Xiao Xuan was digging wild vegetables with mud on his body and face, and the patched clothes on his body were so old that he couldn't see the original color even if he didn't get dirt.

"Grandma, Xiao Yun will cook tonight."

"Okay, the old woman will be lazy today." Grandma joked with Yang Yun, and grandpa who was weaving bamboo mats in the yard also laughed when he heard it.

"Sister, Xiao Xuan will help you light the fire later." Yang Xuan hurriedly heard that Yang Yun was going to cook, as if he was afraid that he would be late and had no work to do.

"Okay, hurry up and wash your face." Yang Yun smiled and gently poked his little head with her fingers to drive him to wash his face.

This is the family, as long as the family is together, no matter how much pain can be healed by time one day, the family warms each other's scarred hearts. Daddy has passed away for half a year, I believe that grandpa and grandma will slowly come out of the shadow of pain, the deceased is gone, although it is nostalgic, but for the sake of the living, Yang Xuan and cousin Yang Yong are the last bit of blood left by the Yang family, and they should be guarded to grow up, start a family, and continue the bloodline of the Yang family.

Yang Xuan helped to light the fire, Yang Yun washed the wild vegetables, boiled them in boiling water, scooped them up and put them in cold boiled water, then took them out and drained them, put some salt and oil, and added some stuffed sauce sent by Aunt Li, mix it cold, and clip one for Xiao Xuan to taste.

"Sister, it's so delicious, today's wild vegetables taste a little sweet, really fragrant, how is it different from what I ate before, it used to taste a little bitter."

"I boiled it in boiling water to remove the bitter taste, and when I mixed it with the sauce, it tasted sweet." Usually it is boiled directly, put some salt and oil, many times there is no oil, of course it is unpalatable. The porridge cooked with brown rice tonight has very few grains, and the porridge is so clear that it can be used as a mirror. You can only cook more wild vegetables to fill your stomach.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard and chatted, grandpa kept weaving bamboo mats, taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark to weave more mats, Xiaoxuan and I helped grandpa cut bamboo slices.

"Grandpa, do you make anything other than a mat?"

"When I'm older, I've forgotten a lot of my crafts, and my hands are not flexible, so now I can only weave mats and baskets." Grandpa said with a sigh to Yang Yun.

"Grandpa, there are a lot of burns on our table, why don't you make a few bamboo mats and pad the tabletop, so that the hot pots and pans are not afraid of burning out one by one." Grandpa thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's see if we can weave a few mats." The family was so busy that they couldn't see their fingers before they entered the house, there was no oil lamp at home, so they washed their feet in the dark and went to sleep.

(Digression: The novel has just been written not long ago, and many ideas are also to be determined, of course, the background of this story is based on most of the scenes in my hometown, I was also born in a farmer's family, I remember that I had to go to the field to plant rice when I was a child, this time I went home, my hometown has changed too much, the countryside has become an industrial park, and the happy orchard full of happiness when I was a child has become a building.) ）
