This person came to the door, and the other party's request was not too much, Wu Hongsheng muttered for a while, and then nodded and agreed.

"My family, in fact, when I went to the mountains to pick wild chestnuts yesterday, I also had this idea."

"We are all sons and daughters, besides, we have to live so close, we should help each other. If you don't mind, let's go now. ”

"It's still a long way from those mountains, and we have to walk for more than two hours to get there."

Hearing Wu Hongsheng say this, Niu Caigao smiled happily at that time.

All right!

It's really good.

Niu Caigao suddenly felt that marrying his three daughters into this family's family was really not a loss!

Relying on this layer of in-law relationship, Niu Caigao believes that the people in his family will still be able to survive this winter smoothly.

The cow who thought like this was high, and his brows were loosened.

He couldn't wait to get up from that chair, and then impatiently urged his two sons.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, you guys hurry back! Tell all the men and all the women in the house to come and come if they can! And, baskets, baskets,...... Anything that can hold something, bring it! All of us have to go out and pick chestnuts! ”

As soon as Niu Caigao's two sons heard this, they hurried back home.

Seeing that the Niu family was doing things so actively, Duan Wenyan, who originally looked down on Mao Lizi, couldn't help it at this time.

In his opinion, hairy chestnuts are not a fine grain. It's not as good as the meat.

However, steamed chestnut stewed chicken, fried chestnut stewed duck, that is an extremely nourishing dish!

He's a lot older.

Some time ago, he suffered serious physical losses.

He had long wanted to make up for his body.

Now, there are ready-made hairy chestnuts in front of him, and if he doesn't want it, he is a bastard who doesn't know how to take advantage of others.

So, Duan Wenyan also began to urge, several of his children.

"Are you elm heads?"

"It's so cold now, time waits for no one! Everyone else has gone home to inform their families, why don't you think about doing it? ”

"Hurry up! Call me all the young adults in the family! And bring those baskets, baskets! If you have the strength to do it, bring me all the carts! ”

Many people in this folk society usually use that kind of one-wheeled cart to deliver goods.

Pushing this kind of cart is the kind of old handle that is used to pushing carts.

When they push this kind of cart, two children sit on the cart, and then take hundreds of pounds of goods, and the adults in the cart can carry it.

Duan Wenyan had already thought about it.

Let the head of your family push a small wheelbarrow over.

On the small wheelbarrow, you can generally put four or five hundred pounds of things.

If his family dispatches more than 100 people, and each person brings dozens or even hundreds of catties of hairy chestnuts, then their Duan family will not have to worry about starving to death this winter.

This hairy chestnut is boiled with the belt meat, and it is all eaten.

Thinking of this, Duan Wenyan also stood up urgently.

"Son, you go back now, and call your brothers, your daughter-in-law, and everyone else who can be called!"

Duan Yude heard his father's order, so he hurriedly ran outside.

Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, more than 100 Duan family members, all Niu family members, all dragged their families with their mouths, and all kinds of men and burlap bags stood at the door of Wu's house.

Wu Hongsheng saw that they were all coming.

He sighed softly and told them with a serious face.

"Before I take you to pick chestnuts together, I have to say all the ugly things in front of me."

"Those hairy chestnuts are wild. Some places are denser, others are more sparse. Moreover, when I went to pick hairy chestnuts the day before yesterday, I visually inspected them, and several mountains were covered with hairy chestnuts. There is a limit to what can be eaten. Therefore, it is up to you to pick as much as you can. But if you know that you are cheating and cheating, and you pick fewer chestnuts, don't be jealous of those who pick a lot. ”

"In short, whether you can survive this winter depends on how many chestnuts you can pick......"

After listening to what he said, everyone had their own thoughts.

They already knew that there were a number of hairy chestnuts growing on the mountain!

Those who can run to the front must have more things to pick.

Those who are one step behind, or who are physically inadequate, and cannot persevere, will receive less food.

Therefore, after they each told their families, more than 200 of them set off with more than 20 men from the Wu family.

Although there was no snow outside. However, the sky in late autumn was dark and gloomy.

The temperature in the forest is already lower. Under the fierce cold wind, everyone froze like a small quail.

Wu Hongsheng was old, and when he came out, he wore a bearskin coat.

He wore a bearskin coat, and some of the other men of the Wu family were either wrapped in wolf skin jackets or rabbit skins.

In short, the clothes they wore were much warmer than the others.

They walk like they fly, others can't.

Gradually, some women who were weaker fell behind. Thankfully, they weren't left behind.

After walking for more than 4 hours and climbing seven or eight hills, more than 200 of them finally saw the wild chestnut forest in front of them.

Seeing the hairy chestnuts falling on the ground, the Duan family and the Niu family, who couldn't hold back their excitement for a long time, rushed over and began to pick them up.

And the men of the Wu family are very rich in hunting experience.

They were split into two teams.

A team of ten people picked chestnuts on the ground. Or just take a knife, climb up to the chestnut tree, and knock down those hairy chestnuts directly.

And the ten people of the other team are dedicated to guarding the work.

At the four corners of the east, west, north and south, there were almost three men stationed.

The two men stood on either side of the tree with their backs directly against the tree. In their hands, they all held large knives tightly.

The other man climbed to the big tree, holding the bow and crossbow tightly in his hand, with a pair of sharp eyes, staring at the surroundings very alertly.

They have been hunting in the forest for so many years, and what they are most afraid of is the tiger.

Anyone who has been in close contact with a tiger basically knows that the tiger is a very ferocious animal.

The tiger is very large.

Their two front paws are about the size of an adult's head.

Moreover, an adult tiger is almost seven or eight hundred pounds!

If you want to kill a tiger, you need at least 20 men to work together.

Moreover, every man must have a bow and crossbow in his hand.
