Yu Fenghao said that the pigweed grows in the field and on the ridge, the shape is similar to purslane, and it grows close to the ground, which is a kind of grass that pigs love to eat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yu Fenghao dug lightly with a small hoe, and then picked up the pigweed that had been dug up and threw it into the basket.

The sun is very poisonous, he didn't want his two sisters to follow him outside to expose to the sun, but Yu Xi has always been unable to sit still, and Yu Qiao, who is not in good health, also insisted on coming together, so he had no choice.

Yu Qiao took a wooden stick in his hand, replaced the hoe, inserted it into the ground, and then tilted the stick upward, and pulled out the pigweed.

The three of them filled a basket in less than half an hour.

Yu Fenghao took his two younger sisters up the mountain to dig out the bird's nest.

There is no need to eat at noon, there is plenty of time, and they are not in a hurry to go back.

In the field, they met Yu Qingnan and Yu Qin from the same village.

Yu Qingnan and Yu Fenghao are the same age, handsome, slightly shorter than Yu Fenghao, dressed in gray clothes, and have a pair of clogs under their feet.

Yu Qin is eight years old, slightly fat, and looks very similar to Yu Qingnan, but her facial features are more delicate, wearing a tender green dress, and a pair of clogs under her feet.

The clogs have thick, wearable, and cool soles, so when the weather is hot, the children in the countryside either wear clogs or simply go out barefoot.

Each of them carried a small basket full of pigweed.

Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan grew up together since childhood, and they have a good relationship like brothers.

Yu Qin and Yu Qiao in the past also have a good relationship, often play together, and now Yu Qiao has an impression, so he also pretends to be a child and walks in a row with Yu Qin and his little sister holding hands.

"Qiao'er, I heard that you fell into the water that day, but I was worried about it, are you okay now?" After Yu Qin asked, he continued: "Actually, the day you fell into the water, I went to see you, but you have been in a coma and have not woken up, so I want to wait for you to wake up and then go to see you." As she spoke, she took out a small piece of caramel from her arms and stuffed it into Yu Qiao's hand, "This is a few pieces of candy that my mother brought back from the town yesterday, I specially left a piece for you, and I plan to go to your house in the afternoon to find you and give you a taste." ”

Yu Qin's father, mother, brother and sister-in-law did temporary work for a large family in Chuanxi County, and because of their good work, they were always hired by the owner, and only came back once in ten days and a half months with food and use, and rushed back to work non-stop after leaving things.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age.

The two brothers and sisters who are at home are growing the family's vegetable plot for their own consumption, and they also raise a pig, and the rice and flour are bought by their parents.

Yu Qiao took it with a smile, shook his head, handed the sugar to Yu Xi, and said, "I'm fine, thank you for still thinking about me." ”

Yu Xi took the candy, immediately stretched out his tongue and licked it gently, and then reluctantly handed it to Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't eat it, Yu Xi let go of Yu Qiao's hand, and trotted forward to find Yu Fenghao.

When Yu Fenghao saw her come forward, he habitually held her with one hand to prevent her from falling. He looked at the candy that Xiaomei stretched out her hand and handed over, and shook her head.

As they walked and talked, a group of children walked around the houses at the head of the village and headed straight for the mountains behind.

They walked at the foot of one of the mountains, and Yu Qiao looked up, and the peaks were full of green trees and thorns, and small wildflowers of yellow, white, purple and other colors bloomed on both sides of the mountain path.

Since the mountain is climbed every day, it has been stepped out of a path, so it is not difficult to walk up the mountain.

They stopped halfway up the mountain, but because the top of the mountain was too far away, they did not go up again.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a large meadow where flocks of small birds cluck in the air, and there are all kinds of tall trees growing around the meadow, and there are many nests on the branches.

As soon as they came here, Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan threw off the basket in their hands and climbed the tree like monkeys.

After a while, the two teenagers came down with a lot of bird eggs in their arms.

And Yu Qiao, Yu Qin, and Yu Xi, the three girls, had already set the fire on fire.

Wild fruits in the mountains are usually the most sought-after, and they are picked by adults and children before they are ripe. So Yu Qiao looked all the way, but he didn't find a single fruit tree left. And now there are still eggs left, and it is only because they came relatively early that they can catch up.

The eggs were buried in a charcoal-burned fire, and after being roasted for a while, several people dug them up and ate them.

After filling their stomachs, the group of children headed up the hill again.

Yu Qingnan wanted to dig a bush of green orchids and go back to raise them, and Yu Fenghao and others went to help him.

Allium orchid is a very common flower and plant in the mountains, and children often go up the mountain to find some beautiful flowers to plant.

The petals of the white allium orchid are somewhat similar to the lily, and the lush branches and leaves are green and slender like green onions, hence the name; Allium orchid.

Yu Qiao looked at the flower, and suddenly remembered that he had planted it when he was young.

Hey, can't this be a way to make money?

Selling flowers?

There are not many other wild flowers all over the mountains, and because the geography and climate are good, there are many species.

That's it!

Yu Qiao immediately proposed to Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, Yu Qin, and Yu Xi.

The result is naturally a lot of skepticism.

"This flower is not unusual, who would want it?" Yu Qingnan asked first.

"Yes, Qiao'er, these flowers are everywhere in the mountains, and others can dig up the mountain by themselves, and they can't afford to spend money to buy them." Yu Fenghao didn't believe it either.

"And if this flower is transported down the mountain with mud, it will take a lot of effort." Yu Qin shook her head, while Yu Xi watched from the side, her face full of ignorance.

"We don't sell it in the township, we transport it to the town and the county to sell it. And you have to cut these flowers first, and then wash them with water to make them beautiful, and someone will buy them! Yu Qiao didn't give up easily.

Seeing that they still had no confidence, Yu Qiao began to lobby: "What do you think, let's finish cutting the pigweed, and go back to be idle, or go around to play, it's better to find something to do that can earn pocket money, if you really make money, you can go to buy candy to eat, even if you can't make money, we don't have a loss." ”

For half-grown children, the power of sugar is endless.

Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin thought about it seriously, it was really such a reason, and after a while, they asked together: "The town is far away, and the county is even farther, how can we go?" ”

"This ......" really stumped Yu Qiao at this time.

In this era, there were no cars, only horses and oxen as means of travel, if there were no these, it would really be difficult to go far, even if they walked to the county on their feet, I am afraid that it would be dark at that time, let alone someone to buy flowers.

"I've got a way!" Yu Qingnan's eyes rolled and he said in surprise.

"Say it, say it." Yu Qiao and others urged repeatedly.

"My uncle has a cow at home, and he often asks me to herd it for him. Now that the rice has been harvested and the cattle are idle in my straw shed, I will take the cattle out and find a cart to put on them, and we will ride the oxen, whether it is to the town or to the county. Yu Qingnan told the story.

"This is good, we have a board car at home, and after the autumn harvest, we also put it there, and no one has used it." Yu Fenghao followed.

"Then it's settled. While it is still early, we hurry to find the kind of good quality, it is best to have buds to be released, there are no blooming flowers to dig out, first go to the town to explore the situation, if not many people buy, we will come back first, and tomorrow we will go to the nearest county to sell. Yu Qiao arranged.

Just do it, Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan, two boys, took the lead with a small hoe, carefully dug up the rhizomes of the flowers with the wet soil, and handed them over to the youngest Yu Xi to take care of.

Yu Xi is young but very responsible, neatly fiddling with flowers and plants, and carefully flicking off the soil that sticks to the flower branches.

Yu Qiao and Yu Qin went separately to look for better flowers around, and once they found them, they shouted to their brother to dig them.

It took more than an hour to dig up twelve different varieties of flowers and plants.

In addition to the previous allium orchid, there are also wild flowers that are about to bloom with buds such as taro, pine peony, and ginger flower, and falling slush in different colors.

Since there were no flower pots, Yu Qingnan and Yu Qin simply took out the large clay pots that were specially used to hold soup during the New Year's festival and planted flowers.
