Chapter 49: Picking Tree Mushrooms
Xu Zhiyong's family was also discussing what happened just now on the way back to the village, and they all felt that Fu Qiaoyue had no good intentions, and Deng Alian told her son and daughter-in-law to be careful when they encounter people in a big house in the future.
Xu Hui probably guessed the reason why Fu Qiaoyue and their attitude suddenly changed, the biggest change in the family was that they set up a stall and did a small business, and only this profitable business could get their eyes.
Was that Xu Zhigao kicked in the head by a donkey? How embarrassed he was, how could he hit the idea here, Xu Hui wanted to see what they were going to do, how to ask for the fish soup recipe.
The seeds have been in the field for more than ten days, Xu Zhiyong will go to the field when he is free, and when he doesn't have to catch the market and don't need to practice calligraphy, Xu Hui will beg her father to take her to the ground, she will carry a small basket, dig some dandelions on the side of the mountain, and pick some wild vegetables.
After a spring rain, Zhou Xiaomei wanted to go to the wild fruit trees at the head of the village to see if she could pick mushrooms.
This mushroom is different from the hazelnut mushrooms on the mountain, it is relatively clean, the color is also light, and it is generally clustered, and the fresh tree mushrooms taste good when fried.
"Mother, you take me, I promise not to run around!" Xu Hui even prepared the basket, and the little girl tied two bags on her head, tilting her head and blinking her big eyes, which made people unbearable to refuse.
"You mean what you say, can't you run around and hear me?" Zhou Xiaomei guessed that many people would go to the woods today, afraid that their daughters would be bumped into or bullied by other people's children.
"Why don't I go and change into my second brother's old clothes and order a few more pockmarks!" Xu Hui saw that her mother was a little hesitant, so in order not to lose this opportunity, she asked for her opinion.
"You don't have to pretend to be a boy in the village, I'll go with you, Huihui remember not to leave me, if you don't obey this time, you will really not be allowed to go out in the future!" After Deng Alian cleaned up the kitchen, she was worried about her granddaughter and planned to go with their mother and daughter.
Xu Hui repeatedly assured that she wanted to pick mushrooms today and didn't want to do anything else.
The three of them went to the woods and saw many people bending down to look for mushrooms, Xu Hui put his hand on the pergola and looked around: "Milk, there are few people over there!" ”
"Where there are few people, they may have been picked, or there are no mushrooms at all!" Deng Alian said.
"Master, there aren't many mushrooms left in this patch, you go downhill, turn a corner downhill, and there are mushrooms in the grass through that patch." Hibiscus commands in space.
"Milk, there are too many people here, I'm afraid there are no mushrooms left, let's change places!"
Deng Alian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also know that even if there are mushrooms here, they have been picked almost enough, and they have also picked mushrooms here in previous years, and there seems to be no place for mushrooms to grow in this vicinity.
"You come with me!" Xu Hui took Deng Alian's hand, walked around the woods, and walked through the grass according to the guidance of the brown hibiscus, and there were more than a dozen trees in front of them that were about to die in some years.
"Huihui, how can there be mushrooms here?" Deng Alian wants to go back, and now she may be able to pick up a few pieces of mushrooms when she goes back, and she can fry a plate at noon.
"Look there!" Xu Hui searched hard, and finally found a cluster of mushrooms.
There are really mushrooms here, Deng Alian walked over and brushed aside the leaves and branches, reached out and picked the mushrooms, with the first cluster of mushrooms, there will be a second cluster, Zhou Xiaomei also looked for it carefully, Xu Hui separated from them a little, and the hibiscus reminded her that there was fungus on the dead wood behind her, and there was also a small piece of mushroom there.
Deng Alian and Zhou Xiaomei walked around a few trees, the basket was almost full, and when they turned around to look for Xu Hui, they couldn't find anyone.
"Huihui!" Deng Alian exclaimed in surprise and almost threw the basket out of her hand.
Zhou Xiaomei was also anxious, why did the kung fu girl disappear in a blink of an eye?
"Milk, mother, am I here? There are mushrooms too, and lichens! ”
The two of them walked up to Xu Hui and saw that her small basket contained black lichen.
"Huihui, this thing is not delicious!" Shiling Village, and even the entire Dongjing Kingdom, have no habit of eating this thing, and they don't bother to pick it when they see it in the mountains.
"Eating it is good for the body, it tastes good when it is done, you can eat it cold and stir-fried, and I will make it for you to eat when you go home!"
The Xu family has slowly become accustomed to Xu Hui's lichen for eating strange things, from the original shepherd's cabbage to the artichoke and now the black lichen.
A few people returned the way they came, and saw more and more people in the woods, and some of the baskets were empty.
At this time, there are few mushrooms and there are many people on average, and at this time, sharp-eyed people see the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a basket of mushrooms, and their eyes are about to pop out!
"Auntie, where did you pick your mushrooms!" Qian Yuping, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Li family, came over and asked.
"Just across the grass!" Anyway, there are no mushrooms over there, so Deng Alian won't hide it.
"Really?" Qian Yuping is a man of action, she ran to the opposite side with her legs, it had just rained the day before, and the ground was still very slippery, plus she only thought about the mushrooms and didn't even look at the road, thinking that whoever could get to the opposite side as soon as possible pick a basket of mushrooms like the Zhou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and didn't pay attention to her feet at all.
Her people slipped and fell, and the basket was thrown out, and the few mushrooms that she had finally picked did not know where they fell, because it was downhill, and she rolled several times before stopping, and her head and clothes were covered with grass blades and dead branches.
Xu Hui held back a smile, this person didn't care about anything in order to pick mushrooms.
Qian Yuping, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, sprinkled all his anger on Deng Alian: "Auntie, why didn't you tell me that the road here is slippery and downhill!" Fall me to death, ouch my arm, my foot is probably broken! ”
"Qingshi daughter-in-law, it's good for you to tell you where I picked the mushrooms, and you want me to tell you where it is not easy to walk, where is there a downhill, why don't you let me carry you over!" If it weren't for Mrs. Li's face, Deng Alian would have to scold her.
She didn't marry Shiling Village on the first day, didn't she even know that there was a downhill slope here? It only rained yesterday and walked carelessly, who is to blame!
"How can you talk like that? If you hadn't said there were mushrooms on the other side, would I have been able to run that way? Can you fall if you don't run? ”
"If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have talked much, forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you, if you want to go home, I'll let Xiaomei help you go back, if you don't go back, we'll go first!" Deng Alian took the basket in her daughter-in-law's hand, that Qian Yuping's eyes were about to be on the mushrooms, today's mushrooms can't be given to her, if they give it, it seems that they have done something wrong.
Qian Yuping wanted Zhou Xiaomei to carry it, but Xu Hui was coquettish: "Mother, I can't walk, you carry me!" ”
How can outsiders have a daughter, Zhou Xiaomei squatted down, Xu Hui lay on her back and turned around and didn't forget to call Qian Yuping: "Auntie, let's go!" ”
The dead girl of the Zhou family is not a big person, and there are a lot of ghosts, Qian Yuping limped home with the support of another woman.
