It was still early, and Lin Zichen and the others did not go home immediately after having enough pine hair, but followed behind Lin Zixi and looked for wild fruits in the bushes.

Lin Zichen didn't have much interest in wild fruits, but when he saw that Lin Zixi liked to eat them so much, he fulfilled Lin Zixi's wish.

Another group of children on the mountain was also busy, and like Lin Zixi, they were looking for wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

Lin Zichen's eyes were sharp, and he saw several fruitful wild fruit trees at once.

After breaking off all the wild fruits with branches and leaves, Lin Zichen's hands were full of wild fruits, thinking that it would be enough for Lin Zixi to satisfy his hunger alone, so he didn't continue to look for it.

"Xiaoxi, Ah Xia, have you picked enough wild fruits, you have to prepare to go back." Lin Zichen stood in the place where he was brushing his loose hair and shouted loudly.

"Eh, I'll be back right away." Lin Axia's voice came from a bush not far away.

After a few sounds, Lin Axia came out of the dense bushes, holding several wild fruits in her hands, and the results were fruitful.

The two waited in place for a few minutes, and Lin Zixi also ran back with a full embrace of wild fruits.

Lin Zichen saw that there were so many wild fruits, and it was not easy to take the scattered ones, but fortunately, the wild fruits were picked together with branches and leaves, so Lin Zichen pulled out a thatch and tied up the wild fruits, hung them on an iron rake, and carried them home with pine hair.

It was a shortcut to go down the mountain, and this method also excited another group of children to follow suit.

When Lin Zichen's sister and brother returned home, Li Weiyan and Lin Qingxiang had not yet returned home.

Stacking the pine feathers in the firewood room, Lin Zichen said to Lin Zixi: "Xiaoxi, you go to play, sister boil the bath water first, and then go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables later." ”

Lin Zixi shook his head and said, "Sister, you fill the pot with water, I'll make a fire, I can only play for a while when I go out to play at this time." ”

It's almost five o'clock, and it's almost dark, so I really can't play for long.

"Okay." Lin Zichen went into the kitchen, filled the cauldron with water, and let Lin Zixi light the fire, while she took the vegetable basket to pick vegetables.

When winter was about to begin, Li Weiyan pulled out all the cold-tolerant vegetables in the vegetable garden, took them home, cut them and dried them, and planted winter vegetables in the vacated vegetable plot.

Lin Zichen picked a few handfuls of peas, picked a handful of oily wheat vegetables, and left the vegetable garden.

Washing all the vegetables by the creek, it was already dark.

Lin Zichen stepped up and went home, "Xiaoxi, is the bath water hot, take a shower quickly when it's hot, it's much colder when it's dark, and you'll catch a cold." ”

"Okay, I'll go get the clothes." Lin Zixi, who was squatting in front of the stove to add firewood, heard Lin Zichen's question and answered loudly, threw the firewood in his hand into the stove, got up and ran to the room to find clothes and prepare to take a bath.

Lin Zichen put aside the washed dishes, brought a bucket to prepare bath water for Lin Zixi, and brought the bath water to the shower room.

Lin Zixi was taking a bath, Lin Zichen took a large plate of steamed rice to the warehouse to serve rice, washed the rice, lit a fire in another stove, and began to steam rice.

In this era, there was no household in Jiangchun Town that used a gas stove, so the original firewood was used for cooking and stir-frying.

In the near future, gas stoves will slowly make their way into rural households, and in the near future, with all kinds of electrical appliances, fewer and fewer people will use firewood to cook rice again, which will not only destroy the forest, but also make the kitchen full of soot.

In his last life, he ate rice cooked in a rice cooker for most of his life, and Lin Zichen deeply realized that only the meals cooked by firewood are really delicious, and only the meals cooked by firewood have the taste of fireworks in the world.

Lin Zixi took a bath slowly, Lin Zichen told him to watch the fire in the pot carefully, and he also took his clothes to take a bath.

Li Weiyan and Lin Qingxiang came back later than usual today, because today was the last day to go to that house to do odd jobs, and they had to pay for their work after finishing their work, so they were delayed a little time.

After getting paid, the couple was in a good mood, and on the way they were discussing that they would cut some meat tomorrow and come back to replenish the health of their two children.

As soon as Lin Zichen took a bath, he saw Li Weiyan coming back, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Li Weiyan was holding a bundle of soybean seedlings in his hand, "Mom, where did you pull the soybeans?" ”

Li Weiyan looked at the soybean seedlings in his hand and said, "Oh, this is our family's field that has no fertility, and there are so many soybeans growing in the whole field, and I don't know if I want to continue planting things next year." ”

Li Weiyan said something later, but Lin Zichen didn't listen to a word, and looked at the soybean seedlings with a pair of eyes, and almost didn't put them on.

Li Weiyan saw Lin Zichen staring at the soybean seedlings like a baby, and she was happy, and directly handed over the soybean seedlings to Lin Zichen to deal with, "These soybeans, you can do whatever you want, I don't bother to peel the soybean pods when I use them for cooking." ”

Lin Zichen happily took it, quickly plucked the soybean leaves, and then took a sickle to cut off the roots of the soybean seedlings.

"Mom, I'll go to the river to wash soybean seedlings." Lin Zichen shouted to Li Weiyan in the kitchen and rushed towards the stream.

"This kid is getting worse and worse." Lin Qingxiang, who came out of the main house, saw Lin Zichen's figure running out, and scolded with a smile. But in my heart, I thought that the child was still energetic and pleasing to the eye, unlike before, he had always been a wooden character, but he didn't expect to have a disease, and his temperament has changed a lot, but looking at Lin Zichen's current temperament, Lin Qingxiang still feels that it has become better.

When Lin Zichen saw the soybean seedlings in Li Weiyan's hand for the first time, he thought of the soybean seedlings in the space, the soybean seedlings that Li Weiyan brought back were about the same as the number of soybean seedlings in the space that she had worked so hard to "pull out".

"Oops, I forgot to bring the scythe." Looking at the soybean seedlings that didn't cut off the roots, Lin Zichen blamed himself a little for being too careless.

"Forget it, break it with your hands."

After a burst of "popping" sounds, he finally removed all the roots, and then hurriedly pulled out the leaves and cleaned them, and Lin Zichen flew home again.

"Mom, we're going to eat pods tonight." Lin Zichen sent the washed soybean seedlings, no, the soybean seedlings without leaves and roots should be called soybean pods, and sent them to Li Weiyan.

"If you eat a pod, you eat a pod." Li Weiyan took the soybean pods, took out the water in the cauldron, put the soybean pods into the pot, added clean water, and the water just overflowed the soybean pods.

Cover the pot and fill the stove with a few sticks of firewood, and the family of four waits for the soybean pods to be steamed while eating dinner.

There were a lot of soybean pods, and Li Weiyan turned it a few times with a spatula in the middle, and added a spoonful of salt to it by the way.

After eating a full meal, the soybean pods were not yet ripe, Li Weiyan drove Lin Qingxiang and his son out of the kitchen, let them go out and walk around to eat, and he brushed the pots and washed the dishes in the kitchen.

Half an hour later.

"The soybean pods are ready, wash your hands and eat them." Li Weiyan fished the soybean pods out of the pot, drained them, and put them in a basket.

Lin Zichen and Lin Zixi, who were watching the stars in the yard, heard this, and immediately washed their hands and ran into the kitchen.

"Wow~ It's so fragrant!" As soon as you enter the kitchen, you can smell the sweetness of soybean pods.

"Be careful." Li Weiyan slapped away Lin Zixi's small hand stretched out to the pod, glared and reminded.

Lin Zixi stuck out his tongue and stood obediently on the side, waiting for Li Weiyan to bring him the pods.

Li Weiyan gave Lin Zichen's sister and brother a few strings of soybean pods, sent the two out of the kitchen, and only then scooped a scoop of cold water to remove the temperature of the pods a little, and then brought the pods to the yard.

Lin Zichen's sister and brother took the pod and blew while walking out.

"Dad, here you go." Lin Zichen handed Lin Qingxiang a string of soybean pods that had been blown cold.

"Okay, Dad will also come and taste this late-ripening soybean pod." Lin Qingxiang took the soybean pod with satisfaction and tasted it.

"Well, this soybean pod is really good!" As soon as he entered, Lin Qingxiang was conquered by the deliciousness of the soybean pods, his eyes widened, he kept nodding, his mouth never stopped, and he dried up a string of soybean pods in a few clicks.

Lin Zixi also felt that tonight's soybean pods were particularly delicious, he stuck out his tongue while blowing, and ate all the soybean pods in his hand into his stomach in a few clicks.

"Mom, I still want it." Lin Zixi had a few crushed soybeans in the corner of his mouth, and ran towards the pods placed next to the well.
