Chapter 156: Lion's Mane Mushroom

Shen Guodong walked while turning Zhou Wanwan on the night, and Le Hehe turned into a human-shaped seat and went to the back garden to explore.

Zhao Xiaosan'er was depressed for a while and then came back to life, shaking his little bald head and following him, "Nan, my mother planted an Yimei tree, and the flowers are bigger than my fist, I'll pick them for you tomorrow!" ”

If he dares to pick off Aunt Zhao's precious flowers, just wait for his ass to be beaten and bloom!

"I don't like big flowers, I like small ones, like that." Zhou Wanwan casually pointed to a dandelion flower blooming in the grass next to her.

"Just this color? I see that your little quilt and collar are purple flowers. "Zhao Xiaosan'er's delicate strength is manifested in all aspects," it is a wild chrysanthemum. ”

"Well, I love wild chrysanthemums too. I like it of any color. Zhou Wanwan nodded.

Li Xiuhua likes purple wild chrysanthemums, she always embroiders a few flowers on the corners of the things she makes for Zhou Wanwan, and Zhou Wanwan will embroider a few on the clothes she makes in order to commemorate her.

"You are a big boy, what are you doing around the little girl when you don't work? Hurry up and get to work! Shen Guodong was very unhappy with this little fart that suddenly ran out.

"You didn't go to work either." Zhao Xiaosan'er muttered quietly.

"Lao Tzu turned over half of the garden in one go, if you can do this, come out and play!"

"When I grow up, I can too!" Zhao Xiaosan'er had a small chest, and his big round eyes were round.

"Then when you're older, come and play with you! Don't hang around here now! ”

Zhao Xiaosan'er was so angry with Shen Guodong that his cheeks puffed out, and he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

Shen Guodong strode away from him proudly. defeated Zhao Xiaosan'er again.

Zhou Wanwan asked Shen Guodong to hold her around the back garden, which is also very large, with more than two acres of land. Because no one planted it for two or three years, the artemisia grass grew tall and bloomed with some wild flowers.

Outside the back shoji is the North Wasteland, because this side is far away from the North Dagouzi, and there is a messy stone pile blocking it, and even the people who herd cattle and pigs do not come. Therefore, the area outside the shoji that is surrounded by stone piles and windbreaks can basically be counted as the scope of their back garden.

There was a large pile of rotten wood on the side of the back shovel, which was probably pulled by the team for Wang Cripple to make firewood. There is a toilet downwind of the shoji side. It had just been repaired by Zhou Yang and them, and there was a pile of newly dug manure next to it, which Zhou Chen used when he planned to plant autumn cabbage.

The more I watched it every night, the more I liked it here. Big enough. Private, with a great view and a good view. It's okay to look at the farmland outside the yard and the woods of the four seasons.

Shen Guodong asked Zhao Xiaosan'er to move a small bench to the front and put Zhou Wanwan on it. I burrowed into waist-high grass to pick flowers for her.

Zhao Xiaosan looked at Zhou Wanwan from the five steps specified by Shen Guodong. I don't mind Shen Guodong supporting him if he has a job, and disgusting his rogue behavior if he doesn't have a job.

Zhou Wanwan used a little effort to make Zhao Xiaosan'er turn around, and then took the time to turn around.

Shen Guodong came out of the artemisia grass with a large handful of wild flowers, and pointed out the handful of small blue grass flowers in the middle to Zhou Wanwan, "I didn't find the purple one, this one is similar to purple, next Sunday, Brother Shen will go to Xiaohan Mountain to find you a lot of purple ones!" ”

"I like the blue ones too!" Zhou Wanwan sat obediently on the small bench and smiled sweetly. Quietly hide the dirty little hands in the sleeves.

Shen Guodong was immediately happy, "Yes! I knew you liked it! ”

Zhao Xiaosan'er drilled around in the grass. "Nan, I didn't find you."

"Keep looking! I can't find it! Shen Guodong shouted to him one step ahead of Zhou Wanwan. This kid is far away, so it's better not to bury it in the grass.

"Oops! What's this?! Zhao Xiaosan'er screamed, completely smashing Shen Guodong's plot to get rid of him.

Zhao Xiaosan'er found a few rotten logs in the grass almost taller than him, and the wood was covered with lion's mane mushrooms.

At first, a few people didn't know what it was, but when they saw that it was white and clean, everyone agreed that it might be delicious.

It wasn't until the evening when Aunt Zhao came to give them rapeseed that she recognized that this was Lion's Mane mushroom.

Lion's mane mushrooms are rarely picked on Xiaohan Mountain, and it takes a few years to hear that someone picks this mushroom during the season when a large number of mushrooms grow every year.

Lion's mane mushrooms have very high requirements for the growing environment, not only the humidity and light must be suitable, but also the ventilation must be good, so most of them grow on dead tall trees, which are difficult for people to find and not easy to pick.

Rare is expensive, "monkey head in the mountains, shark fin in the sea", in this era before artificial breeding, eating monkey head is a very luxurious thing. So don't talk about these children, even Aunt Zhao also saw it when she was young, and she never touched it.

The monkey heads on several trees were picked, and three large pots were picked, the big ones were as big as Zhao Xiaosan'er's head. This is very accurate data, Zhao Erzhuan has repeatedly compared his brother's head.

"It's so old, but you can eat it for days!" Zhao Xiaosan'er staggered around several large pots of mushrooms. This is what he found!

"Nan Nan asked me to find Yoyo, and I found a lot of mushrooms for her!" Zhao Xiaosan'er was extremely proud, and glanced at Shen Guodong provocatively.

"That's it! Let's all go home! It's been a long time, and your dad can't come back to see you and he won't kick you. Aunt Zhao hurriedly intercepted Zhao Xiaosan'er's words, and let this kid continue to speak, this mushroom will become his.

It's not easy to have a few children, and you can't take advantage of them. Aunt Zhao hurriedly beckoned her sons home.

"My dad said that let's come and help Brother Yangzi and them often these days, so that they won't kick us." Zhao Xiaosan'er was not convinced.

"Then we have to go home and eat! Shoot you again! Aunt Zhao made a gesture to beat Zhao Xiaosan'er, her hand was raised high, but it didn't fall.

Zhao Xiaosan'er hugged Aunt Zhao's leg and smiled coquettishly, at first glance, she was too favored at home, and she was not afraid of his mother's slap at all.

"Fifth aunt, I still have work to do with Da Zhuang and Erzhuo, let them eat here, and they can help us work for a while after eating, or I will have to go to work tomorrow, and I won't have time to do the work at home again." Zhou Yang also saw what Aunt Zhao meant, and left the Zhao brothers to eat at home in disguise.

"Let them come after eating!" Aunt Zhao insisted on bringing her three sons back. She knows too well how much this child can eat, Zhou Yang and the others have a little bit of food, and they have to eat it for this kid in her family, and they must not be allowed to eat here.

Aunt Zhao was very persistent, Zhao Dazhuang and Zhao Erzhuan also insisted on refusing to stay, and Zhou Yang could only compromise.

The mother and son of the Zhao family were about to leave, Zhou Chen found a pot and picked up a pot of lion's mane mushrooms for them, Aunt Zhao said that she would not accept anything, and finally looked at a few children It was really sincere, Zhou Wanwan's little arm hugged her neck and begged her: "Take it back and stew it for my brother." ”

She softened her heart, so she took two small ones, "It doesn't need so much, just take two and taste them." ”

Before leaving, Aunt Zhao carefully taught Zhou Chen how to spread out these lion's mane mushrooms, and break them into small pieces tomorrow to dry, "I can eat them for a winter!" ”

He also told a few children that this matter could not be said casually, they lived in a dilapidated house in Wang Cripple, and the people in the team had no idea, if they knew that they had these old monkey heads for nothing, it would be bad if they had those shallow eyes to come to find trouble.

I'm not afraid to find trouble, but it's better to have less to do.

Zhou Yang nodded a few times and gratefully sent Aunt Zhao away.

After Aunt Zhao went home, she repeatedly taught Uncle Zhao and her three sons to do a good job of confidentiality, so that for a long time in the future, Zhao Xiaosan'er didn't dare to answer casually in front of outsiders, for fear of revealing her mouth and letting people take her out and have no place to live.

Around such a large number of monkey heads, several children were very happy.

Shen Guodong picked up a face compared to Zhou Wanwan, "It's not as white as our family." ”

"More than Brother Shen!" Zhou Wanwan immediately countered him.

"I'm not a monkey!"

"I'm not a monkey either! Why are you comparing me to it? "Zhou Wanwan is not happy.

Shen Guodong laughed and picked up Zhou Wanwan and kissed her flawless little brain like white jade.

"Eat monkey head at night!" Zhou Wanwan pushed away Shen Guodong's head and threw herself on Zhou Chen.

"Yes, eat monkey heads! Eat while it's fresh! Zhou Yang clapped, "It just so happened that Xiao Er caught a few pheasants from the mountains yesterday, let's make pheasant stew monkey head, and eat a meal of millet dry rice!" ”

Although he has lived a difficult life since he was a child, Zhou Yang's attitude towards life has always been very atmospheric. Whether it is food or money, as long as it is not wasted, he will use it very happily for his younger brothers and sisters, especially in terms of food, and let them eat it at a time. It will never be like many parents at this time, picking and saving good things, and never giving their children anything to eat.

Zhou Yang's habit is also inherited from Li Xiuhua. Even if she only has two bowls of noodles in her hand, she will also make a meal of noodles for the children who can't eat a bite of fine food all year round, so that they can eat happily.

Instead of being like other people, take out a handful or two to make a meal of batter for them, and then repeatedly talk to the children about how hard-won this batter is, and how difficult it is for parents to save for you.

This habit of hers has been criticized by many people, and even her mother-in-law has said that she will not live. However, she allows her children to be full and happy even in the days of extreme material scarcity, without any sense of lack and guilt, and they do not feel how heavy and difficult life is, but can always feel a lot of beauty from it.

Therefore, the Zhou Yang brothers were immersed in the beauty created by their mother throughout their childhood, even if they were poor and hard, they would not be burdened by the material, but knew how to enjoy the material things in life and know how to appreciate the beautiful things around them.
