Xu Ying listened to Uncle Wang's words and smiled.

"Uncle, this fish stew with Suzi leaves is very fragrant, I want to collect some back, and the time for fish stew and stew in the restaurant can be used."

Xu Ying is telling the truth.

Suzi, also known as perilla in many places, Heibei likes to be called Suzi.

There is a slight difference between the soybeans here and other places, the soybeans here are not purple on both sides but only purple on the bottom and purple-green on the top.

The whole herb of Suzi leaves is used in medicine, it has medicinal value, it smells like perilla, and it can be used as a seasoning, so Xu Ying plans to get some back.

As she said, putting some stewed fish can remove the smell and fragrance, and stewed meat can also make the meat fragrant, which is the best for restaurants.

"Okay, I'll go to each house to get you some after dinner."

Uncle Wang understood and nodded.

I didn't expect this poor thing to have this benefit, next time I stew meat and fish at home.

After eating, Xu Ying asked the two children to change their clothes, and she wanted to lead them to the mountain.

Liu Zhi and Sun Yue were a little worried, but they also knew what Xu Ying meant, so they didn't stop them, they changed their clothes and wanted to follow.

Liu Mingda drove them, this time the mountain is not far away, and the road is not bad, so they can drive.

"Mom, what's in the mountains now, are there blind bears? Will there be snakes? Do we have mushrooms and pine nuts for those dishes? Can I pick mushrooms? ”

Liu Tianjiao was very excited, one question after another.

"It's not time for mushrooms yet, so let's just go and have a look."

Xu Ying smiled and chose to go up the mountain. She wants the two children to suffer a little, and now the children are too happy, and their hearts are weak, so let them go to the mountain and know that it is hard, maybe it will be beneficial.

When I got to the place, I got out of the car.

Xu Ying and Sun Yue led the way.

Liu Tianrui and Liu Tianjiao followed, and Liu Zhi was at the end.

Liu Mingda didn't go up, but Xu Ying didn't let him, for fear that he would be tired and sick.

At the beginning of the time, the two children were curious about what they saw.

Sun Yue is the same. I saw that there were flowers and picked some from time to time.

"Milk. This flower is pretty. ”

Liu Tianjiao saw beautiful flowers called Sun Yue.

"Mom, there's mushrooms here."

She called Xu Ying in surprise.

Xu Ying went over to take a look.

"It's fake, dog pee, can't be eaten."

Xu Ying explained to her daughter.

"Mom. What is it? ”

Liu Tianjiao's voice sounded again. Like a curious baby.

Liu Tianrui has been silent. Looking around, it turned out that the mountain was like this, and it was not at all what he thought.

Slowly, Liu Tianjiao's voice became smaller. The pace is also slow.

"Mom, let's go back."

She was a little tired, and she didn't want to go up.

"Once, my mother followed your grandmother Wang up the mountain to pick mushrooms."

Xu Ying didn't answer her words, and continued to walk, still talking in her mouth: "That time, because the mushrooms in the neighborhood were all picked, we went to a far place, and we walked for more than an hour just walking. ”

Liu Tianjiao's eyes widened, and Liu Tianrui also looked at her mother seriously.

"When I arrived at the place, my legs were sore, my face was full of sweat, but I didn't care about wiping a handful, I quickly picked mushrooms, some places were not easy to walk, I had to lie down to get in, there were many mosquitoes, buzzing, biting badly, I finally picked the bag and basket full, now I should be happy, right? But my mother couldn't be happy. ”

Xu Ying thought back to that time.

"Why?"

Liu Tianjiao was puzzled, shouldn't she be very happy to pick so much?

"Because there are too many, I can't carry my back, I can barely carry it, and I have to carry a basket in my hand, and I feel like my waist is going to break when I go down the mountain, but it will be more than an hour to walk from home."

Xu Ying looked at the two of them after speaking.

"Why don't you let my dad drive you?"

Liu Tianjiao felt that her mother was so stupid.

"The mountain road over there is very narrow, and we can't walk the car at all, so your dad can't pull us, so we can only walk back by legs."

After Xu Ying finished speaking, the two children were silent.

"When I got home, I felt like I was collapsed, and I had a thought at the time, I wanted to lie on the bed and rest it for two days and do nothing."

Xu Ying said her truest feelings at that time.

"Mom, you've worked hard."

Liu Tianjiao's face was distressed.

"Jiao, my mother only worked so hard, but the people here have to work hard twice a day during the season of picking vegetables and mushrooms, men and women are like this, and the women have to cook when they come back, and they have to pick the mushrooms and dry them. But you know what? After they were all cleaned up, they couldn't sell the clean mushrooms, or they only had a few cents or a few dollars a catty. ”

Xu Ying saw the consternation and sympathy on the faces of her children as she wished.

"Mom, isn't it? It's so hard that you can't sell it for money? They are so pitiful, is it because of this mom that you help everyone sell mushrooms? ”

The two of them know that the mushrooms in this mountain are now sold by Xu Ying.

"Yes, my mother can help them, but in the mountains of many places, no one can help them, they are all cheap. Do you say that they have to work so much to get that little money fair? ”

Xu Ying asked the two.

"It's not fair."

Liu Tianjiao said.

"Jiaojiao, Rarity, you haven't suffered anything since you were a child, you never know what other people's lives are like, in this mountain, it's normal for teenage children to work in the fields, and it's normal to go up the mountain, and you all feel hard to go up the mountain, but how can you compare to them? You don't have to worry about anything, but you still think it's not good, that's not good, they work hard, they don't get money, they don't go to school, do you think it's fair to them? ”

Xu Ying wants her children to be psychologically stronger, and if they know some suffering, they won't want to die or live.

The two children were silent, and they understood what their mother meant.

Yes, compared to the children in the mountains, they are so happy, but they don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.

"Mom, I understand, let's wait a minute."

Liu Tianjiao went over and grabbed Xu Ying's arm, and Liu Tianrui just nodded.

Xu Ying led them to watch and told them all kinds of things in the mountains.

"Yingzi, have you finished speaking, there are a few pieces of wood here, I look weird, let's get it back, it can be used as firewood."

Over there, Liu Zhi shouted a few more people.

"Let's go, let's see."

Xu Ying led her son to her father-in-law's office.

Looking at those pieces of wood, Xu Ying smiled, the wood is really good, there is no shortage of wood in this mountain, those who are old and dead, those who are clear and clear, can be pulled back to burn the fire, as long as they are not pulled out and sold.

"Master, it's weird, don't ask for it."

Liu Tianjiao was a little worried.

"Yes, we can't go down the mountain empty-handed, how good this wood is."

Liu Zhi insisted.

In this way, several of them began to make wood, Liu Zhi held one by himself, Sun Yue and Liu Tianrui carried one, and Xu Ying and Liu Tianjiao carried one down the mountain.

Finally walked back to the car, the two children were covered with sweat, threw the wood to the ground, bent over and carried the heavy air, they finally understood what it was like to be tired as their mother said. (To be continued.) )
