Tian Qingqing carried the small basket on his back, thinking about it while walking out.
coaxed Hao Lanxin to like her, but she was sad!
The four items that were cut, except for Fu Zhenhai's fish money, the other three were all clear ways to give money to the family. Now it's all blocked, no matter how much space she has, no matter how much money she has in her hand, there's no reason to take it out!
What kind of way to make money? Not only has nothing to do with "capitalism", can't cut the "tail", but still has to give money to the family every day?
Money, money, money!!
Why is it that all you think about is money?
Could it be that he has traveled through more than three months and come to his relatives, and in the depths of his soul, he is still nostalgic for the materialistic era of Ling Yuanyuan's period and the time when money was piled up with flowers, looking forward to having a lot of money in his hands, and then living the life of the rich second generation who has clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth? However, at that time, I hated that kind of life, right?
During Liang Yuanyuan's period, she did spend time in a pile of money. But that kind of life did not bring her happiness, she often held a lot of renminbi in her hand, but her mind imagined the poverty of Tian Miaomiao's period - imagining that helpless, sad, helpless face.
Yes, even now, that face that she will never forget for two lifetimes often comes to her mind, making her fight for it and fight for it.
It was the former Tian Miaomiao period, when Tian Miaomiao was in the first and second grades of elementary school. One day at noon, Tian Miaomiao had to pay two cents and five cents for books or tuition and miscellaneous fees, I can't remember clearly, I only remember that there was no at home at that time, so my mother Hao Lanxin went to borrow it, but when she came back, her hand was empty.
Tian Miaomiao wiped her tears when she saw that she didn't borrow money. Because it will be handed over to the teacher in the afternoon.
When Tian Miaomiao looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, she was stunned: her mother's brows were wrinkled into pimples, and her face was full of sorrow, helplessness and helplessness, as if she was about to break her skin and rush to squeeze out.
Tian Miaomiao was so frightened that she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried "wow".
Since then, that face has been imprinted in Tian Miaomiao's heart.
Hao Lanxin patted Tian Miaomiao's back, pushed her aside, and walked out again.
After coming back, he handed Tian Miaomiao two cents and five cents of wet banknotes.
Later, Tian Miaomiao learned that when her mother went out for the first time, she walked three houses in a row, and when she saw that the doors were closed, she raised her hand several times to knock, but put her hand down again - her honest mother was afraid that she would disturb people's lunch break by borrowing money from others!
When he came back, he saw his daughter's tears, so he gritted his teeth and went out again and knocked on the door of his aunt's house......
This incident touched Tian Miaomiao a lot, and every time she recalled it, her mother's appearance of standing in front of someone's door under the scorching sun at noon, raising her hand to knock but not daring to knock, came to mind......
Perhaps it was because of this incident that when Tian Miaomiao crossed for the second time, she chose her childhood and her sister Tian Qingqing, who was five years older than herself.
Two cents and a half cents!
My mother stood in front of the neighbor's door three times for two cents and five cents, and when she wanted to knock on the door but did not dare to knock, she raised and lowered her hand and lowered it, and put it down and raised it again......
Maybe it was because of these two cents and five cents, because of that sad face, in Tian Qingqing's subconscious, he had the idea of letting his mother have more money and see money every day!
Otherwise, Tian Qingqing's persistence can't even be understood by herself.
Now my mother has a passbook of 3,000 yuan, but she is reluctant to spend any of it. Because that's a special payment for building a big house, and it's not enough.
Building a big house was brought up by himself, and he is still insisting on it. If you want to keep your mother from worrying, you must do your best to find a way for your mother to see money often.
It's like selling fishing in the spring, it's not much every day, four, five, six, it's not conspicuous, and my mother can still see money every day, and she has a smile on her face every day.
The croppers of this period did not expect to be rich and rich, but only wanted to have a full stomach, have pocket money in their hands, and do nothing else!
She really misses those spring days.
Tian Qingqing unconsciously walked to the edge of the idle land that he had cultivated - strictly speaking, he had reclaimed it with a big belly.
Five parts of the land were taken, and the middle of it was grain. Yesterday it was cut off as the tail of capitalism, and Gu Miao was gone--I don't know which hard-working member of the society carried him to the livestock shed of the production team. Grain seedlings are good forage, and after passing the scales, you can earn a few cents.
Tian Qingqing's heart was sour, and he didn't have the heart to look at the second and third pieces...... She knew that none of the idle places on the edge of the village were spared, and it only increased her sorrow to watch.
Tian Qingqing turned to the edge of the gourd ditch again, there were reed grass and dun grass, she was ready to complete the task here - anyway, no matter how well the grass was cut, the little sheep was not interested, the grass in the space was fresh and tender, that was its favorite. Eat once a night, and basically don't move your mouth much outside during the day.
Chopping and chopping, I suddenly saw a neat and clean Zhizhi Pi lying on the tip of a reed grass.
This discovery made Tian Qingqing's eyes light up, and he hurriedly looked at a red wattle not far away, and found that there were also three or four on it. Looking at the plane tree next to him, there are also a lot of lying on the tree.
Wow!
It turns out that it is the peak season of unearthing!
As the name suggests, knowing the skin is the last skin that the larva sheds, also called cicada molting.
The larvae of the known are also called the known turtle, and the locals call it "knowing the ghost" or "knowing the crawling child"
is no stranger to Tian Qingqing, Ling Yuanyuan studied entomology in her previous life.
It is known to be an insect of the cicada family.
At the end of June each year, the larvae begin to emerge into adults, with a maximum lifespan of about 60 to 70 days. In late July, the female adults begin to lay eggs, and the peak oviposition is in early to mid-August, when the eggs are mostly laid on the shoots with a thickness of 4 to 5 mm.
The tiny larvae hatch from the eggs and stay on the branches, where the autumn wind blows them off. As soon as you get to the surface, look for soft soil and drill down. Drill into the roots of the tree and suck the sap of the roots to get by. It takes as little as two or three years or more than ten years for the larvae to grow from larvae to adults.
From larvae to adults, they molt five times, four of which take place underground, and the last time they emerge from the soil and climb onto trees or tall plants, where they shed their dry pale yellow shells (this is the skin and cicada moult) before becoming adults.
It is known that the skin is a Chinese herbal medicine, which has a good anticonvulsant and sedative effect. It can also relieve wind and relieve the surface, relieve cough, treat dry throat itching and cough. And it's expensive. I don't know if there are any acquisitions during this period, so I'll go to the county seat tomorrow and ask.
The nutritional value of the ghost is also very rich, the sex is cold, the taste is fragrant, the dry protein content is more than 70%, and the fat is about 7%. Vitamins and various beneficial trace elements are higher than general meat products. It is also known that the high-quality process of protein is very high, and it is easy to be absorbed and utilized by the human body.
In the previous life, during the Ling Yuanyuan period, Zhizhi had already been put on the high-end dining table. Ling Yuanyuan, who is very picky about eating, eats a lot.
Recalling this, Tian Qingqing's eyes lit up: It is now the end of June and the beginning of July, and it is the prosperous time when the ghost is unearthed, why not make a fuss on the ghost and the skin to ease the atmosphere at home!
Suddenly remembered that when he ate praying mantis egg masses in the spring, his father Tian Dalin had promised that when Mai had a ghost child, he would lead them to touch it and come back to make food. I've been busy these days, and I've forgotten about this.
Right! I'm grinding my father tonight!
Tian Qingqing was happy in her heart, and hurriedly cut down a basket of weeds, picked the skin on the tip of the grass and red wattles, and took it home.
"Dad, you know that the skin is everywhere, and you haven't led us to touch the ghosts?"
At dinner, Tian Qingqing said to Tian Dalin.
Tian Dalin slapped his head, "Oh, I forgot about this stubble." Let's do it, dinner is early today, let's eat quickly, let's go after dinner, how about it? ”
When Tian Youqiu heard this, he happily "snorted". My father led him to find out about the ghost, and this was the first time in this family.
"Dad, it's going to be completely dark in a while, we just have an electric baton at home, you take it, I'll borrow the fourth uncle's." Tian Youqiu said. Seeing that Tian Dalin nodded, he happily drank the porridge in the bowl in three sips, got up and went out.
Xiao Miaomiao heard the words, and after eating, she grabbed Tian Qingqing's hand and refused to leave a step.
However, when he left, he was still fooled by Hao Lanxin and hugged away. It is said that children are frightened by their sharp-eyed eyes and unclean sights until they are three years old, so it is best not to go outside the village at night.
Tian Qingqing called the black girl. She knew that the brunette would help with this quasi. Because the dog's eyes can see clearly at night.
A group of four people, each holding a canned food bottle, soon came to the south of the pit pond in the south of the village. There is a small grove here, which is full of moist and steaming soil, which is perfect for the reproduction of Zhizhi.
There are already people touching it, but most of them are children.
As soon as the father and son arrived in the grove, they immediately became excited, Tian Youqiu and Tian Dalin, each holding a flashlight on the ground and trees.
Don't look at the skin on the grass, red wattles, and trees, but if you really want to touch it, you can't catch it. Because I know that the ghost is not out of the hole in a time period, and crawls everywhere after coming out. You happen to climb out of it, or you happen to climb up a tree, and sometimes you do, but not every tree.
And now it's just dark, strictly speaking, it should be dusk, most of the ghosts haven't come out yet, but they are not far from the ground, and they are digging holes to reach the ground!
At this time, those who have found the ghost can find a shovel or shovel, and dig up the surface aimlessly and gently, and they should be able to see the large and small holes in the ground!
And in the cave, there must be a ghost. You can find a small stick, or just use your finger to stick it into the hole, and when you know that the ghost is grasping it, you can lift it lightly, and it will come out.
However, Tian Dalin and the others only brought a canned bottle containing the devil, and they didn't bring any digging tools at all. It is a veritable "touch" to know the ghost. (To be continued) RS
