Chapter Twenty-Four: Up the Mountain
After sleeping until dawn, Chen Yu was in good spirits, and of course he was even happier when he thought of the possible scene in his grandmother's house.
Looking at his little daughter who was laughing with a bowl, Chen Tiezhu obviously didn't know what his little daughter was happy about, but he also felt very happy when he saw that the children in the family were happy.
Chen Yu regretted that he could not see the follow-up development of his grandmother's family with his own eyes, but Chen Yu, who was in a good mood, began to tease his younger brother who had just been born. The younger brother is obviously very favored at home, not only the elders, but also the elder sisters take good care of the youngest brother.
Chen Yu's grandmother didn't find out that her private money was missing so soon at this time, after all, Chen Yu's grandmother didn't count money every day, and she was busy with things at home early in the morning, and it might take a while to find that the money was gone.
In the blink of an eye, the younger brother has been more than a month, and at this time it is the time to harvest the grain, only the father and mother can go to the field in the family, and when the uncle and the second uncle are busy, they may come to help, but now only the father and mother are busy, the eldest sister cooks at home, and the second sister sends water.
The third sister and Chen Yu took Chen Bao at home, looking at the rice harvested back, it seems that this year's harvest is not bad. Because the rice seeds in the space and the rice seeds in the home are not the same, Chen Yu grabbed a handful of rice and put it into the space to breed, and it will be much safer to take out the same rice in the future.
When the rice was harvested, the weather was fine, the sun was strong, and the rice dried up quickly. God's rare kindness, everyone is very happy, although every autumn is the busiest time, but looking at the heavy grain, it is the time when the farmers are most happy.
Looking at the bright sunshine, Chen Yu prayed that it was best not to rain. The rice was harvested two days later, and the rice was dried and returned to the warehouse three days later. These days, my father and mother are very happy, and when the tax is paid, there will still be a lot of rice left, and when the time comes, I can sell it for a lot of copper coins.
But after harvesting the rice, a few days, it's time to go to the mountains again, Chen Yu didn't go to the city last year, how to go to have a lively this year, of course, Chen Yu is not going to hunt, not to find wild fruits, but to find medicinal materials, the mountains are full of treasures, before because of the fear of family worry, so I didn't dare to go deep into the mountains and forests, but now with the villagers, it is a good opportunity.
"Mother, are you going up the mountain tomorrow? I want to go with you too, and I promise to follow you closely and not cause trouble. Chen Yu said.
"We're going to collect wild fruits, dried fruits, it's very tiring to go up the mountain, and we don't have the extra strength to hold you when the time comes, can you keep walking by yourself?" Wang Guihua asked.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely go by myself." Chen Yu is very confident in his body.
After a few days of sunshine, dry firewood can be seen everywhere on the mountain, and in fact, dry firewood is also a target for collection, but today it is clear that everyone is more interested in other products on the mountain.
Chen Yu walked with his mother, grandmother, aunt and cousin, surrounded by people from the village, young and middle-aged men went hunting, and the rest of the old people, women, and children gathered fruit here.
There are quite a few things like pine cones, hazelnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, hawthorns on the mountain. There are also wild dates, wild persimmons and so on. The villagers come every year, and they are very clear about the distribution of these things, and the goal is clear, of course, Chen Yu is still young, and no one asked Chen Yu to follow the collection, so Chen Yu slipped aside and looked for medicinal materials.
Because of his keen mental power, Chen Yu really found a few ginseng seedlings, because they are seedlings, they are not valuable, even if other villagers see them, they will not collect them, after all, only ginseng of the last year is valuable. However, Chen Yu is already very satisfied with such a harvest.
Chen Yu didn't pick the fruit, those things were picked by the villagers, Chen Yu picked the fungus, the fungus is not wanted at all now, it is cheap Chen Yu for nothing, there are a lot of these things here, although the sun for a few days makes these fungus a little dry, but it does not affect the collection at all.
It's a pity that it's not the season for mushrooms, otherwise there would have been plenty of mushrooms here. However, it's been a sunny day these days, so if you want to see mushrooms, you have to wait until it rains.
Chen Yu also has a small basket, which Chen Yu specially took, although most of the fungus was packed into the space, but there was no problem with loading a basket when he went back, Chen Yu had been eating fungus in his house for a long time, and he also knew that this black thing could be eaten, and it tasted good, so he didn't say that Chen Yu was not doing his job when he saw Chen Yu picking this.
Of course, the other villagers thought that Chen Yu was too young and was playing, anyway, for Chen Yu, a child who was not two years old, it would be done without delay, could it be that who really expected this child to work? But don't say it, such a child, following them to climb the mountain, walking so far without shouting tired, and can play, how well-behaved.
At noon, everyone eats the dry food brought by their own families, after all, it takes a lot of time to go up and down the mountain, and the harvested fruits are also carried back to the village in batches, and finally some are carried back by one person, and the collection work on the mountain can be completed in two days, and the rest of the scattered collection is not necessary.
The fungus collected by Chen Yu is not asked for by anyone except Chen Yu's family, and the others are all sold for money and divided for money, and those that cannot be sold for money are distributed to each family.
The hunting group lived in the mountain for two days, and only came out of the mountain on the third day, and the hunting prey was not bad, in addition to hitting three goats, two wild boars, and a lot of pheasants and hares, roe deer or something, each family got a lot of meat, and sold a part, and everyone got the money.
The whole hunt is over, and the people in the village have not stopped, although the grain in the field has been harvested, but it is still necessary to reserve firewood for winter, and the general rural reserve firewood is not to estimate when it will be enough, but when to fill the firewood house.
Firewood can not only be used at home, but also sold in the town for money, the villagers have to make a final amount of money before the winter comes, although firewood is not expensive, but for the villagers, just a little strength can get the harvest, that is very cost-effective.
In fact, for Chen Yu, it is too convenient to pick up firewood, and all the way through, the dry firewood can be collected into the space. Moreover, Chen Yu can also control the thunder and lightning to chop some branches down, and it is not effortless to collect firewood. Chen Yu followed his father to the mountains for a few days, but later found that no matter how much firewood he collected, he would not have a chance to sell it, so he did not go again.
However, when Chen Yu was collecting firewood, he accidentally found something, if Chen Yu was not mistaken, then Chen Yu knew that he might have made a lot of money.
