Chapter 57: Ascending the mountain after being scolded

Although he got Luo Zhengfen's permission to accompany the guests, Kong Xiaoyu didn't dare to take it seriously, and after greeting the two female guests, Kong Xingming, who followed the beginning of love and peeked at Niu Guizhi from time to time, went directly to the stove room to cook and cook.

Once again, she clearly remembered the blurred beautiful face of her aunt in her memory, and Yu Mingyue also wanted to leave, but she was held in her arms by Niu Guihua, but she couldn't get out.

Listening to the adults talking and laughing, Yu Mingyue, who personally experienced the blind date party of her uncle in her previous life, was bored, and she was also a little helpless.

The eldest aunt's obviously contrived smirk, I don't know how I can't hear my grandmother, who is aware of everything, if my grandmother can find out about this early, maybe in a previous life

"Alas~" Grandpa is right, everything has a cause and effect, and grandma and uncle will inevitably choose the aunt's cow Guizhi, which is the cause of the illegal change between them.

Yu Mingyue accidentally sighed, but it made Luo Zhengfen, who had never liked her, unhappy.

"Dead girl, sigh at a young age, it's really unlucky." Luo Zhengfen pulled his face and scolded, and pointed out the door with a cold face: "Go, go and play with your inseparable cousin Xiaoyan, don't block me here." ”

Kong Mingfu just came in from outside the gate and just listened to Luo Zhengfen's words.

He was extremely angry in his heart, but today was the day when his eldest son and daughter-in-law came to see the house, and he couldn't get angry.

While walking towards the courtyard, Kong Mingfu looked at Yu Mingyue with a doting smile: "Xiaoyue, go to the stove room to help your mother pick vegetables, and ask your uncle to give you barbecue." "I'm afraid the child is worried that she will quarrel with her grandmother.

With this thought, when Kong Mingfu felt even more sorry for Yu Mingyue, he glanced at Luo Zhengfen, who was sitting on the stump and was a little uncomfortable, with a warning in that glance that only Luo Zhengfen could understand.

Luo Zhengfen was originally afraid that Kong Mingfu would lose face for her right away, but when she heard that Kong Mingfu actually asked Yu Mingyue to go to the stove room to cook meat to eat, the anger in her heart rose again.

"What kind of meat to eat, I'm not afraid of eating it on a hot day, you have to have some spectrum if you pet this girl." Meat is eaten when entertaining guests, and today the eldest son brought back two mouths without his permission, and it is difficult for the guests themselves to say anything, but they must teach him a good lesson at night.

Yu Mingyue didn't know what Luo Zhengfen thought in her heart, but from the words on Luo Zhengfen's face, Yu Mingyue clearly knew that she couldn't hide in the stove room anymore.

"Grandpa, I want to go and play with Sister Xiaoyan, I'll come back later." Yu Mingyue broke free from the arms of Niu Guihua, who was a little embarrassed, and turned her head to smile sweetly at the three people who were sitting: "Grandma, auntie, I'm going to play." ”

After speaking, Yu Mingyue ran into the courtyard like a normal child ready to have fun, and when she passed by her grandfather Kong Mingfu, she smiled sweetly at him: "Grandpa remember to tell my mother, I won't run around." ”

When Kong Mingfu ran out of the gate, Yu Mingyue's sweet smile just now was still there, and only tears welled up from her big eyes. Tears, but when her small delicate little round face was wet in a moment, Yu Mingyue burrowed into a hidden corner outside the wall.

Even if it has become a habit to be harshly criticized by her grandmother in this life, she still needs to be quiet before she can face others normally and calmly.

At this time, it was only nine o'clock, and there were two meals in the countryside in the morning and evening, and if you wanted to have breakfast, you had to wait until after twelve o'clock, and Yu Mingyue, who had dried her tears after crying, was ready to take her cousin Yu Mingyan up the mountain.

In August, there are fewer wild mushrooms in the mountains, but the two nuts of persimmons, pine nuts and cone chestnuts in the mountains are already ripe.

Fresh persimmons are very astringent and inedible, but when they are picked home and placed in the open air to dry until the next morning, they are dried in the wind several times, and when they turn dark black, they will become sweet and sandy like persimmons, which is a delicious snack.

Even if you sell it in the city, you can sell it, after all, in modern times, there are many people who sell it, the price is cheaper than persimmons, but the taste and nutrition are not up to persimmons.

Cone chestnut should actually be regarded as a variety of wild chestnut, when fresh, the outer layer of the thorn shell is like a chestnut, but the size is only as small as the tip of an adult's index finger, but the taste is similar to that of chestnut, after cooking, put it in a large iron pot and add sugar to fry, it is very much the taste of modern sugar fried chestnut.

Not to mention pine nuts, which are one of the most famous varieties of nuts, and the nutrition is rare and rich. Yu Mingyue is now the time to grow her body, and she is going to pick up some and eat them for herself and her cousin, and also give some to her pregnant mother, which will be good for her mother and little brother.

While walking and making these plans, Yu Mingyue had wind under her feet, and her intention to go up the mountain became more firm.

When Yu Mingyue walked into the courtyard, Yu Tianxiang was drying clothes.

"Grandpa, my little sister Yan." As soon as she entered the door, Yu Mingyue's gaze swept straight to the clothes hanging between the three pomegranate trees.

Seeing that most of the hemp ropes pulled up between the three big pomegranate trees in the courtyard were cousin's diapers and aunt's clothes, Yu Mingyue frowned slightly.

The father-in-law washed the diapers for his granddaughter, and he had to help his daughter-in-law wash the clothes, and the eldest aunt was really too lazy to talk.

"Yo, why didn't Xiaoyue go into the city to sell money today, didn't your mother help you collect the money yesterday?" Seeing his granddaughter peeking at the clothes hanging from time to time, Yu Tianxiang, who was very helpless in his heart, was a little uncomfortable, although he only slightly wrinkled his thick black sword eyebrows, but the word "Chuan" appeared between his eyebrows because of the wrinkles.

Finding the embarrassment flashing on her grandfather's face, Yu Mingyue hurriedly turned her gaze, looked around as if looking for someone, and replied: "I didn't sell vegetables, today my uncle is the new daughter-in-law, so I followed my mother to my grandfather's house to play." ”

"Oh." Yu Tianxiang understood, thought of the little granddaughter's question just now, and chuckled: "Hehe, your little sister Yan thought that you were selling vegetables, and she followed your eldest father into the field next to the vegetable garden early in the morning to pull the moon motherwort, why don't you send your grandfather in to play with her?" ”

"Grandpa, you're busy, I know the way myself, and I'm not as timid as Sister Xiaoyan, hehe." When Yu Mingyue declined, she also made a naughty joke by the way, hoping to make her grandfather happy.

Yu Tianxiang knew that Yu Mingyue was bold, but he still sent Yu Mingyue, who had taken a small hoe and a small snakeskin bag at his house, out of the door.

"Xiaoyue, remember to promise grandpa's words, you and Xiaoyan are not allowed to run around."

Looking at the hoe in Yu Mingyue's hand and the snakeskin bag that was folded and tied with a thin rope, Yu Tianxiang thought something wrong. He always felt that Yu Mingyue's statement that he planned to use that bag to fill the moon mother grass, and that it was convenient to shovel the roots of the moon mother grass with a hoe was a bit weird.

When she turned the corner and got out of Yu Tianxiang's line of sight, Yu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Picking up a small hoe, Yu Mingyue also had a whim. Earlier, I often went to the mountains to collect fungi, and from time to time I could meet a fat and big hare, or a pheasant that burrowed into the bushes when I saw people, so Yu Mingyue suddenly had the idea of digging traps to catch rabbits and pheasants.

Yu Mingyue had never done it when she was a child in her previous life, and basically no one in this village did it, until she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she had seen an old hunter living in the mountains do those traps, and this time she suddenly wanted to try it herself.

If she can catch a few rabbits of any size, then she really doesn't have to worry that the rabbits in the family are of the same sex and can't give birth to cubs, and the more rabbits there are, the less likely it is that they are all of the same sex.

If you can catch pheasants or something, give your mother a soup to replenish your body when you die, raise them alive, and slowly make up the number, you can start the wild fowl breeding business in advance.

Thinking of these from time to time, they arrived in the field next to Yu Tianxiang's vegetable garden, and after Yu Mingyue greeted Yu Zhiwan, who was hoeing grass in the field, she pulled Yu Mingyan to the edge of the river and muttered about their plan to go up the mountain this time.

"I heard my uncle say that now the pine nuts and cone chestnuts on the mountain are ripe, so we will go up the mountain today to pick them, and we can eat some and sell them for money." Yu Mingyue didn't dare to tell all the plans, thinking that Yu Mingyan was just a child, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide her words, so she would reveal her mouth in front of adults.

has the temptation of wild fruits, and Yu Mingyan has always been obedient to her cousin Yu Mingyue, where will there be unwillingness at this time, so she nodded happily: "Well, Xiaoyue, you can go wherever you say, I will listen to you." ”

After nodding firmly, she glanced at Yu Zhizong who was working, and Yu Mingyan expressed her worries: "My dad won't agree, right, if we secretly go to climb the mountain, will we be beaten when we come back?" Thinking of Yu Tianxiang's majestic face when he was angry, Yu Mingyan shrunk her neck.

It is unlikely that he will be beaten, but if he is discovered, he will be scolded.

"No, let's go quietly, just don't tell the adults when we come back, I'll bring it into the city and sell it quietly, and we'll pay two cents." Of course, Yu Mingyue would not say the result she knew earlier, and coaxed Yu Mingyan to settle down in a few words.

Today's Yu Zhizong is very honest, only hearing Yu Mingyue and them say that they want to go to the fields in the lower reaches of the river to pull the moon motherweed, he completely believes it. The lower reaches of the river are just below the road outside Yu Mingyue's house, and Yu Zhizong is not worried.

With the small basket that Yu Mingyan used to hold the moon motherwort, Yu Mingyue sisters went up the mountain along the cattle road, and the two of them were only an hour away, and they arrived in the mountains farther than the original fungus.

Wild persimmons, pine nuts and cone chestnuts grow only in the mountains and forests where mushrooms are picked up on a daily basis, and it is also a good place to dig traps and set traps.

Because these places are not easy for people to come on weekdays, even if they are cutting firewood or herding cattle and sheep, they do not like to go deep into the mountains, unless they are professional hunters or people who need to cut down big trees to build houses.

But in this season, before autumn has passed, there are no people who want to build houses and cut down trees, and there are even fewer people looking for hunting in this era, otherwise the hares on the mountains would not be so common.

After more than ten years, it is popular to eat green local products in the city, and when the game begins to go crazy and become popular, not to mention the wild rabbits and pheasants that are often encountered in the mountains, it is not easy to encounter one of the hare feathers and pheasant feathers.
