It's February, but Phoenix Mountain is as bright and bright as spring in March.

Most of the pine trees are planted on the mountain, a lot of small pine mushrooms under the pine trees are exposed, like a small umbrella, before approaching the smell of pine in the mountains and the fragrance of pine mushrooms, Sichuan pepper looks at the heart of joy, put down the bamboo basket and start picking pine mushrooms, these are good things, pure natural and pollution-free mushrooms whether they make dumplings or stew soup are first-class fresh, and even can be made into pine mushroom sauce, can be kept for a long time.

There are also a few fruit trees in the pine forest, the height is different and scattered, and before it has sprouted, the pepper recognizes a few pear trees and jujube trees and peach trees, and the other few are not easy to identify for the time being.

Except for this forest, there are small patches of farmland that have not yet been cultivated, and each piece of land is relatively smooth.

There are also fences inserted in the four places, which looks very exquisite.

A clear spring flows down from the top of the mountain, spreading down from the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain converges into a lake, standing on the edge of the pine forest, you can vaguely see the small pavilion by the lake.

It's a bit like Tiger Roaring Hill, but it's much bigger than Tiger Roaring Hill.

The place that Mr. Chang chose is really good.

Xu is the villagers under the mountain can not go up the mountain, no one comes to pick the pine mushrooms under the pine forest, Sichuan pepper on the edge of the pine forest on the side of the pine forest to pick most of the basket of various kinds of mushrooms, the most is the pine mushroom, the pine mushroom can be stored for a long time after drying, and the stewed chicken is particularly delicious.

Just thinking about it, two figures were cast in front of him, Hua Jiao was startled, and hurriedly looked back, it was a pair of young men and women, the two were looking at her curiously, the little girl had a grass ring on her head, gesticulating, and making a wah-wah sound in her mouth, the young man asked: "She asked you, but Mr. is a guest?" ”

"Exactly, who are you?" Pepper asked.

"We are the people next to Mr." The young man pointed to the grass house, "Sir, let us come and pick you up." ”

The little girl stepped forward and took the bamboo basket on the back of the pepper, put it on the young man's back, and pointed to the grass house, wow wow wow la, Hua Jiao didn't understand a word, the young man continued to translate: "She asked you to teach her how to make mushrooms, we only eat pumpkin rice all year round." ”

Eat pumpkin rice all year round......

Hua Jiao instantly felt that they were too pitiful, and asked, "What do you call them?" ”

"My name is Ah Shan, and her name is Ah Xiu." The young man said.

Hua Jiao came to his senses and asked, "Where do you live?" ”

She saw three grass huts all over the mountain.

Last night, Mr. Chang said to go to the cellar to sleep, could it be that they also sleep in the cellar?

"We're over there." Ahsan pointed to the farmland and limped forward, "We live in a cave. ”

Only then did the pepper see clearly that there were indeed two holes in the cave under the cliff opposite, trees were planted next to the cave, there was a piece of farmland in front of the door, the cave was facing south and north, and there were only a few pieces of farmland separated from the grass house, Ah Shan walked in front with a bamboo basket on his back, and Ah Xiu stepped forward to hold the arm of the pepper affectionately, Ah Shan looked back at the two of them: "Ah Xiu faces me and my husband all day long, and he is happy to see a woman, don't be surprised." ”

"No, it won't." Huajiao couldn't help but look at the little girl, the little girl looked very delicate, probably because she was not a common person, the smile on her face was very natural and innocent, like an uncarved jade, Huajiao shook the little girl's hand, and said warmly, "My name is Huajiao, you just call me by name." ”

Her hands were rough and calloused, and they were not at all delicate as the girl's.

No need to guess, it must be because of the perennial work.

Ah Xiu was very happy, and shouted wah-la-wah.

Hua Jiao responded with a smile.

Ah Shan scratched his head and turned around and said, "It should be called Sister Huajiao, right?" ”

The little girl made a muffled voice that the pepper didn't understand.

"It's the same name." Sichuan pepper.

Probably has been immersed in the Pei family for a long time, and she likes these two young people very much.

Especially this Ah Xiu.

Back to the grass house, Pei Zezheng hugged the child and chatted with Chang Chuan, seeing the three of them coming back, Chang Chuancai introduced Pei Ze: "Both of them are abandoned babies sent to me by others when they were children, one is mute, the other is lame, I will stay to help me take care of Phoenix Mountain, yesterday the two of them turned the ground behind the mountain, I didn't let them come." ”

Pei Ze glanced at the two of them and said with emotion: "Over the years, the master has not had an easy time. ”

He became a father and knew how difficult it was to raise a child.

What's more, his master raised two abandoned babies so big with a single person, and only he knew the bitterness.

"It's a life, if you can keep it, try to keep it, and live one more day." Chang Chuan touched Brother Xuan'er's white and chubby little hands, and said disapprerovingly, "Don't talk about two before, even if there are more masters, you can raise them, but now it's not good, leave the two of them to be companions with me, to be honest, if Ah Xiu wasn't a dumb person, I still want you to take it out to marry a good family!" ”

"Sir, Ah Xiu is not dumb, she can speak!" Ahsan is right.

"Hmph, as long as you kid can understand, I've been listening to it for fifteen years, and I haven't understood a word." Chang Chuan glanced at Ah Shan, "I just said, and I didn't really take her away, what are you excited about?" Quick, go chop some firewood, let my apprentice and daughter-in-law make dumplings for you to eat today, you two monkey cubs are blessed. ”

Ahsan answered the call and walked out.

"Master, the two of them are a good match." Pei Ze said, "Why do you want to break up people's homes, it's not as beautiful as adults." ”

"What do you know?" Chang Chuan glared at Pei Ze, "If the two of them get married, they have to have children, what should they do if they have children?" Who solves the future of their children, you? If you agree, I will marry them. ”

"As long as Master says a word, I will do my best." Pei Ze looked calm.

"Trouble, trouble!" Chang Chuan shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.

Pei Ze walked to Huajiao with the child in his arms and said in a low voice: "Why don't we keep a matchmaker for them?" ”

Ah Xiu looked at it with clear eyes.

"You take the bacon off for me first." Huajiao pointed to the beam of the house and said with a smile, "Eat first, and then keep the media." ”

She also felt that Ah Xiu was destined to be Ah Shan's daughter-in-law by nature.

Pei Ze reached out and took off the bacon and handed it to the peppercorns.

Sichuan Jiao looked at the bacon over and over again, and asked Pei Ze: "Do you know how to handle bacon?" "She won't!

"A little." Pei Ze handed the child to Sichuan Pepper, rolled up his sleeves and processed the bacon himself, "Master doesn't eat meat, why do you still make bacon?" ”

"I hit a wild boar a year ago, and I couldn't finish it, so I hung up." Ah Shan stepped in with firewood, and when he heard that he wanted to make dumplings to eat, his eyes lit up, "We cooked a pot of pork, we ate it for three days, and we had diarrhea, Mr. said, we are dog's belly can't hold ghee, so we won't let us eat it, these bacon have been sent one after another, and this piece is left." ”
