222. Help
Getting the sweetness, the monkeys began to work hard under the command of the water lotus.
Even the fifth master had to sigh, "Good guy, this is okay, I knew that monkeys can also help, and I used to suggest that the team raise more monkeys. ”
Zheng Furong smiled, one is that he thinks that his granddaughter has the ability, and even a little monkey can make friends, let alone let the animals help with the work.
"Fifth master, this is a bad word, to say in my heart, this monkey is not something that anyone can control, and my granddaughter has this ability, if these monkey cubs can't get it, maybe there will be a big trouble in the heavenly palace, is this to ask them to help, or are they busy cleaning up the mess they have made?
So ah, this animal is also divided into people to raise, you see that we didn't raise the little monkey, and people still took the initiative to help.
Let's hurry over and help, otherwise the three children will be a little too busy. ”
With the addition of the monkeys, the five people below are indeed a little busy, the main tree is the main battlefield of the monkeys, it is too simple to get things down, the little paws are pulled, and the pine cones have to fall one after another.
For a while, the forest looked at a lively scene, the old man and the child were busy under the tree, and the laughter and laughter formed a strange combination with the monkeys scurrying around the tree, but this picture was also surprisingly harmonious, as if humans and animals were born like this.
Shuilian looked at the pine cones in this place underground, and simply asked the two old men to pour the pine nuts specifically, it would be more convenient to take this thing back, as for the pine cones themselves, there was no shortage of burning ones at home, so they stayed in place, and they returned to the soil as if the leaves had fallen back to the roots, so that the soil under the big tree continued to be fertile.
Song Chengyu was a little puzzled, "Grandpa, you said that such a big forest, the people in Tunzi can harvest whatever they plant here, you see that the soil is all black, it is absolutely fertile, and you can harvest whatever you plant."
Zheng Furong sighed, "I guess I didn't expect it, don't say anything else, just plant some bud rice at the edge of the field, you say that it must be no problem to eat green corn, but no one plants it, people's thoughts are still at the level of collective labor and collective harvest, and how strict it is to grasp capitalism now, everyone doesn't have the courage to do it."
But at this time, it depends on who is bold and who can eat a full stomach, you see that Shuilian and your grandfather are not here to farm, so our family will not have to worry about the problem of eating.
Alas, don't you know that when grandpa came with you, he was still worried about this, to be honest, I was really hungry and scared in those years, I guess you are still young and have no memory......"
Song Chengyu sighed, "Grandpa, how can I not remember, I still remember that at that time, the family drank porridge, and it was easy to make some cornmeal cakes according to the head, and it was not big, my cake was often robbed by my brothers and sisters at home, alas, my dad gave me his share, he could only be hungry, and I can't forget it until now......"
What he didn't say was that because of this incident at that time, the old lady didn't sigh at grandma's scolding, he was also young at that time, if he was killed now, he wouldn't be able to eat, his father still had to go to work, how could he have the strength to work if he didn't eat a full stomach, and now he feels that he has really grown up and has begun to recall the past.
Old and young chatting while working, this morning passed really fast, and when the water lotus looked back, by the way, the pine nuts were about to collect half a sack, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to rest first, she took out the pot and went to the stream to wash, planning to find some mushrooms for everyone to boil some mushroom soup and eat it with steamed buns.
Shi and Cheng Yu couldn't sit still, these two guys also followed to the stream, washing hands is secondary, the two people mainly want to play in the water, although it is autumn, this autumn tiger is not covered, if it is hot, it is also spicy, they stayed in the woods all morning, even if they were not exposed to the sun, but after all, there was still a sweat on their bodies, so the two of them played with water while scrubbing their bodies.
"Hey, Brother Cheng Yu, there are fish and shrimp ...... here"
Song Chengyu himself also discovered the New World, "Hey, there are crabs here, water lotus, you go get mushrooms first, my brother and I will see if we can get some fish and shrimp, and the soup will be good and delicious at that time." ”
You can find something to eat everywhere in the depths of the mountain, but the water lotus still prefers mountain mushrooms, which are more delicious to eat at leisure.
The fifth master and Zheng Furong couldn't sit still, the two of them were busy picking mushrooms around with baskets, this thing is a dish in winter when it is dried, and more importantly, it can be sold for money.
Shuilian hasn't been to the city to sell things for a long time, so the old man is also worried about the family's expenses, after all, there are many people in the family, and the rest of the heavy labor needs to be consumed.
Shuilian is also harvesting while picking here, and she also knows the current situation at home, the consumption is quite large, just counting on the little money that Song Wenbo earns, the family doesn't want to have new clothes to wear, after all, he has a lot of thoughts over there, she still works hard to earn money to support this family.
When she came back from picking mushrooms, she saw the stone beckoning to him from a distance, but the little guy didn't make a sound, looking at the brother's expression, he couldn't help but feel warm, and it was estimated that the child had found something good.
Walked over quickly, "Sister, hurry up and receive this Wang Ba into the space, I heard that this thing has been made up for the most, and the process of turning back has been sold......"
This was the first time she had seen a living Wang Ba, and she didn't expect that there was such a thing in the boundary of their family, did it mean that there might be this thing in the river downstream?
Nodding, he hurriedly put things in, Song Chengyu was busy catching crabs, this is the season for crabs, maybe because there are fewer people here, the number of crabs is more than they imagined.
"Sister, you go cook first, let's take the crabs home to eat, I really didn't expect that there is this in the stream in the mountains, just to help our family improve their lives......"
After the monkeys ate the fruit, they began to repeat their morning's labor, and even the fifth master had to sigh, this thing is too psychic.
The water lotus took the half-sized fish they caught from the stones and made the soup base, and added mushrooms and wild chives to the taste, which even the monkeys in the trees could not help but revel in the taste.
Zheng Furong looked at the expression of the monkey on the tree and smiled, "Fifth master, you look at these little things and know how to smell the aroma, look at their gluttony, they are almost catching up with children......"
The water used in the soup made by the water lotus is the spring water in the space, so the taste of the soup is not only delicious, but also the monkeys on the trees run down to stand by in the hope of receiving a reward.
"Hehe, you little gluttonous cats, the rest of the pot is yours, grandpa, let's drink these, let's go home and make it ourselves, it just so happened that Brother Cheng Yu caught a lot of crabs, and cooked it with some wine at night, not to mention how beautiful it tasted."
Zheng Furong smiled and nodded, "Well, our granddaughter knows how to eat, let's give the rest to the monkeys to drink, anyway, people have made a lot of effort today, they should be rewarded with some delicious food, let them continue tomorrow." ”
When the water lotus and they left, the monkeys were tired of loosening their legs, and the water lotus was a little embarrassed to let the family work in vain, so she divided the sugar in her pocket one by one.
"Wukong, I want to thank you today, tomorrow I will bring good food over, and you will come over to help."
Cheng Yu smiled and shook his head, "It is estimated that the monkey has never been so tired when it grows so big, maybe it won't have the strength to work tomorrow." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the monkeys who had eaten the candy, as if they had been stimulated again, jumped happily on the branches, as if they were eating not sugar, but delicacies.
The things that go back are basically carried by several people in turn, Shuilian is a little bitter in her heart, how good it would be if she came here alone, it would be effortless to take these things back, but she couldn't deprive everyone of the joy of the autumn harvest, forget it, be tired, be tired, you have to let them experience what it means to share hardship, otherwise you won't remember the good times of childhood.
Their harvest today made Song Wenbo's eyes red with envy, and the little money he earned was not as much as the old man and the child who went into the mountains to make pine nuts, not to mention the delicious food that the children brought back.
Shuilian can think about it, she will have to act alone with the stone tomorrow, otherwise the speed will be a little slow, and she won't get it back.
"Grandpa, if you don't let Ah Da and Ah Er go with you to pick pine nuts tomorrow, and I will go with Shi to pick grapes, or if we don't hurry up, the grapes will fall."
Song Wenbo nodded, "That's right, but isn't it safe like this, can you two follow the old wolf?" ”
Shui Lian nodded confidently, "Of course it's no problem, and the wolves are nearby, and there are monkeys to help us, if there is any danger, they will warn us, and besides, the place where my brother picks grapes is not far from my grandfather's place, if there is anything to take care of each other, you can come back early in the evening, just in time to go in and pick us up." ”
Because they caught the crabs, the old lady cooked the crabs first, and asked the two sisters and brothers to send some to a few good families.
"Wenbo, why don't you go to your second uncle at night to talk about it, let him follow him into the mountain, so that he can have more income, as for this delay in work, let them weigh it and see which one is suitable."
When Liang Shoulin and the others knew that there were monkeys on the mountain to help, the three of them simply felt that it was not appropriate to go to work, and went into picking pine nuts together, which was much more valuable than a day's work.
"Second uncle, if you can go over, then I will be much more relieved, you can rest assured to pick pine nuts, let the sister and brother get grapes, so that the two of us can drink."
Liang Shoulin and they were all a little embarrassed, "What is this, you have good things to take with our family, it is enough that you have good things to take with our family, our family has benefited a lot in the past few years, you will work with confidence tomorrow, these people are under the control of our three masters." ”
