Chen Jiacheng had lunch, reminiscing about the fragrant and tender chicken and the soft and elastic taste of the fungus, and paired with the sour cucumber shreds, to tell the truth, he had never eaten such a delicious meal in his life!

He rode a horse with two baskets of mushrooms, and two rabbits hung on the edge of the basket, and went back with a bag of chestnuts on his back.

Because the basket was not too full, the mushrooms in Jiajiacai's basket were divided into two baskets, and the branches were pinned to the mouth of the basket to prevent the mushrooms from falling out, and the bulging two baskets of mushrooms were hung on both sides of the horse's back, galloping all the way away.

The horse quickly followed the main road on the side of the market on the official road, and soon returned home.

Chen Jiacheng thought that he could see her mother's preparations for tomorrow's affairs at home, but it was very strange to see that the courtyard was quiet, so he turned over and dismounted, walked to the courtyard and called his mother.

I saw his mother coming out of the door in a panic, her eyes red and secretly wiping her tears. Chen Jiacheng was shocked and said, "Mother, why are you crying, but what happened?" ”

Aunt Chen wiped her eyes and said, "No, it's okay, my mother is fine." ”

"Mother, if you have something, just say that your son has been away from home for a few years, and your mother will be separated from her son?" Chen Jiacheng said excitedly.

"No, no!" His mother waved her hand anxiously: "Son, how can my mother have a relationship with you, yes, my mother said that you can't help it, and I want you to worry." ”

"Then mother, tell me first." Chen Jiacheng continued to ask.

Unable to say it, Aunt Chen could only say: "This morning is a big bazaar, originally because of the rush of Xiao Yao's work, her own clothes and shoes stall was entrusted to the old aunt next door to help set it up for a few days, but today she came back early and told her mother that our stall was robbed by a few gangsters, and the clothes and shoes were robbed and worn directly."

And the stalls in the bazaar have no skills at home, and there are almost no people who are not Huohuo, and those gangsters robbed them like this the year before last, and then I heard that they went to the city to mix, but somehow they came back this year.

This family is still counting on these copper plates to buy rice and salt or something, how can this be! ”

Chen Jiacheng heard her mother's cry, and then became angry and said, "Mother, I'll go find them!" ”

"Ah, son! You can't go, you're going back to the border city in a few days, and you've offended these gangsters, and we don't dare to sleep at home! Her mother hurriedly dragged him down, saying that she couldn't go to them for anything: "So many people on the set are afraid of their revenge, and they don't even dare to report to the official, Jiacheng, don't go, it's a big deal that my mother wants to think of another way not to sell needlework, and it will save your sister from showing up when she is older." ”

Chen Jiacheng also made sense when he heard it, but he was worried that he couldn't let those gangsters have a good time. Then he said to his mother: "Okay, mother, I have a sense of proportion, what do you think I brought back?" ”

As he spoke, he took off the big bulging cloth bag hanging behind his shoulder, handed it to her mother, and turned around to go outside the courtyard to immediately carry two baskets of mushrooms.

When her mother saw so many things, she couldn't care about being sad, and hurriedly said: "Son, where are so many things, we can't ask for Xiao Yao's things anymore, our family owes her a lot." ”

"Mother, don't worry, she is not a caring girl, I will try to help her at home, and when I go back to the border city, you and Jiajia will accompany her more, she is alone, she likes to play with Jiajia, when Jiajia is her sister." Chen Jiacheng didn't want to owe her anything from a girl, but there was no way to make up for her in the future.

Aunt Chen said: "Mother understands, mother also likes this lively and sensible girl, but it's a pity that you still have to go, or your mother will invite a matchmaker for you and set this daughter-in-law for you as soon as possible." ”

Hearing his mother say this, Chen Jiacheng's face instantly turned red to his neck, and he said in shame: "Mother, don't talk nonsense about ruining the reputation of other girls, our family's situation, I don't know how long it will take to go home, where can I delay such a good girl." ”

After speaking, both mother and son sighed deeply, when is this day the end.

Chen Jiacheng changed the topic and pointed to the basket and said: "Mother, look, these mushrooms are all picked on Xiao Yao's side, the three of us went up the mountain, and it didn't take long to pick two baskets, you see this chestnut too." ”

Aunt Chen was also pleasantly surprised: "So thick! The mountain in Xiao Yao's house is so good, don't be there any beasts in the deep mountains? ”

"No, it's all small animals and it's safe." As he spoke, two gray hares hanging on one side of the basket were exposed.

Seeing the hare, Aunt Chen sighed: "It's really rich in species!" In this way, Jiajia often goes to Xiaoyao's place to play, the two girls can play together, and they can also pick so much food, then we don't have to worry about selling needlework to earn copper plates! ”

Saying that, she also laughed: "Looking at the craftsmanship of this pocket, it's really hard to see that this Xiao Yao can still sew it without leaking." ”

Jia Cheng also smiled, pointed to the basket and said: "She is not good at needlework, but the rattan weaving skills are very good, you see this basket, as well as the tables and stools and baskets at her house, even the chicken cage is made of rattan, it is very delicate and beautiful, with the scenery of the bamboo forest in her house, it is really elegant, and it is a good place to give money without changing."

The best thing is that it's not far from us, and when I return from the army, we'll move over there, which is definitely better than here. ”

While chatting about their future plans, the two cleaned up the mushrooms, picked out the ones that could be fried tomorrow, and tore the rest to dry and leave them for the winter.
