Chapter 9: Picking wild vegetables

In order to prevent Ji Wenchen from having the terrible idea of sending her to school, Su Qiqi hurriedly clarified: "Brother Wenchen, Qiqi don't go to school, I also want to learn the craft from my father." ”

Ji Wenchen only said that Su Qiqi was still young and ignorant, so he smiled and said: "Okay, when you grow up, you will also learn the craft, and then we will go to earn silver together." Wash your hands quickly, it seems that the master has returned. ”

Whether Ji Wenchen was perfunctory to her, or Ji Wenchen didn't take her words to heart at all, anyway, he had already led the topic away.

Ji Wenchen stayed at Su's house for two nights before returning to his house, and only after asking Liu Sanniang did he know that Ji's family was in the mountains, and it would take half a day to get out of the mountains. He is Su Ercheng's only apprentice, because he knows that the conditions of the master's family are not good, and he is seriously ill again, this time Ji Wenchen hunted wild animals and specially sent them to her to eat.

Suddenly, Su Qiqi had a good impression of this senior brother.

Liu Sanniang was afraid that Su Qiqi would be bored at home, and she didn't want to take her to work in the field, so Su Qiuyin became Su Qiqi's tour guide.

On this day, the two went to see the sour jujube again, and when they saw that they couldn't eat it, Yinzi had to go down the mountain unhappy. She saw that Su Qiqi was always looking at the back mountain, she thought that Su Qiqi wanted to go to the mountain to find other wild fruits to eat, so she kindly reminded her: "Qiqi, the wild fruits on the nearby mountains have been picked, don't look at it, it is difficult to find delicious wild fruits on the mountain." Not only are there no wild fruits to eat on the mountain, but the pears on the pear tree behind our house are not ripe, and when they read the "novel" ybdu, they will be stolen! It's really infuriating! ”

Listening to Su Qiuyin's self-talk, Su Qiqi smiled. Yinzi thought she was right, so she immediately approached her and said, "Qiqi, don't be sad. After a month, the camellia seeds are ripe, we can go to pick chestnuts and eat them, and then I will call you. ”

It's really a cute little sister, Su Qiqi smiled again and nodded and asked Yinzi: "Yinzi, are the hairy chestnuts delicious?" ”

As soon as she finished asking, Yinzi replied to her with a sympathetic face: "Qiqi hasn't eaten hairy chestnuts for a long time, right?" Have you forgotten the taste of hairy chestnuts? It's sweet and delicious when eaten raw. You can also fry it to eat, so you can stay for a long time, and it is still very fragrant. However, if you fry and eat, you have to go to the mountains to pick it up, and the mountain is too small! ”

Since there are them in the mountains, you should pick up more of them, right? Su Qiqi asked her again: "Then will your brother and them pick it up?" ”

Yinzi nodded happily: "The eldest brother and the second brother will pick it up, and my mother will hang it up and keep it for the New Year!" Last year, they picked it up and you forgot what I gave me to eat? ”

Su Qiqi seemed to remember such an event in Qiqi's memory, so she nodded and said, "I can't remember it clearly!" I'm sick and dizzy, and I can't eat a lot of things. ”

Hearing her say this, Yinzi said even more sympathetically: "Qiqi is really pitiful! But in the future, it will be fine, you will not get sick again, and you can eat a lot of things. I really want to celebrate the New Year, there will be delicious food at that time! ”

This snack is always eaten in my heart! Children in this era are happier than her era without the drag of homework, right? Su Qiqi smiled when he heard this: "The child is looking forward to the New Year!" ”

Yinzi listened to her words and asked curiously: "Qiqi, aren't you looking forward to the New Year?" ”

Su Qiqi smiled and said, "Looking forward to it!" How good it is to celebrate the New Year, we will be a year older in a year! When we grow up, we will go to the mountains to pick chestnuts by ourselves! ”

Yinzi said happily: "My mother said that she would make me new clothes for the New Year, so I want to celebrate the New Year." However, Qiqi, when you grow up, you can go to the mountains to pick chestnuts and fruits, but I can't. ”

Su Qiqi asked her incomprehensibly, "Why can't you go?" ”

Yinzi thinks Qiqi is really strange, aren't all the people in this village like this? So she said, "Am I a girl?" When a girl grows up, she has to prepare to find her in-law's family, but she can't go up the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to marry a good family. You boys can go up the mountain! ”

Su Qiqi has a black line: I haven't been in this world for many days, and I will always forget that this body was raised as a boy! Besides, a seven-year-old child knows that he wants to find his in-laws, is this ancient too precocious?

The two walked along the embankment by the river, and Yinzi pointed to the fern seedlings in the distance and said, "Qiqi, there are a lot of bracken there!" Let's pick it back and eat it, and if we add some lard, it tastes good! ”

Su Qiqi had never picked wild vegetables in his previous life, but he heard many people say that wild vegetables have to be fried with a lot of oil to be delicious. But in her own poor family, except for her dishes, which can be seen oily, Su Ercheng and his wife's dishes are all eaten with soy sauce as oil. Many novels write about eating wild vegetables, but can this wild vegetables really be eaten without oil?

Hearing that Yinzi was going to pick wild vegetables, even if she wasn't interested, she didn't want to discourage Yinzi's enthusiasm. Whether it's useful or not, let's pick it back first. So I had to say happily, "Well, let's go and pick it." ”

The two happily went down the dam, and in the haystack on the small sand dunes by the river, one of them picked a large handful of fern seedlings before going up to the embankment.

"Yinzi, Qiqi! You're also here to hunt pigweed? Qiqi, your family doesn't raise pigs, did you help Yinzi pick them? A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked in front of her, with a gentle face and an affectionate tone. Su Qiqi took a closer look, it was Qiqi's lobby sister Lanzi.

"Eldest sister, you hit so much pigweed? You're so capable. After Su Qiqi greeted Yinzi and Lanzi, she also took the initiative to call her.

Lanzi was carrying a basket of pigweed on her back and was asking her two little cousins and little cousins, and she asked Su Qiqi with concern: "Qiqi, are you finally cured?" Ah, that's great, I can come out and play more often in the future. ”

Lanzi's face seemed to be full of genuine concern, much kinder than the impression of Da Boe. Su Qiqi smiled and said, "Thank you, eldest sister!" I'm a lot better. ”

Lanzi is different from her mother, and the Su family's grandmother is obviously patriarchal, and she is not a favored person at home. So his temperament is like Su Dacheng, more diligent and gentle. Seeing Su Qiqi say thank you to her, she was very happy: "Well, it seems that it's really good, and now you can come and play, it's great." But Qiqi is really well-behaved, and he is just a little sick, so he knows that he has come to help Yinzi with pigweed! ”

Hearing the topic mentioned by the lobby sister again, the black line on Su Qiqi's head suddenly rose! She looked at Yinzi, who immediately blushed and said, "Eldest sister, Qiqi and I are picking wild vegetables!" ”

"What? Are you picking wild vegetables? Is this going to be picked back and eaten? Lanzi finally reacted, and she smiled and told them: "Yinzi, this fern seedling can be used as a wild vegetable when it is tender, and that is only in spring." I can't eat it now, I'm getting tendons, and it's almost the same as making pigweed! ”

That is to say, she, Su Qiqi, a child who grew up in the vast world of the countryside, used pigweed as a wild vegetable? God punished her to come to this backward countryside so that she could clearly distinguish what is a wild vegetable and what is a pig vegetable, right?
