Into the mountains
The autumn morning was foggy, and the light veil-like fog drifted with the wind, shrouding the mountain in mist, and the clouds and mist shrouded the mountain with a veil of mystery.
Walking in the mountains and forests, this hazy feeling has a kind of comfort in a fairyland, which is refreshing.
Autumn harvest and winter storage, this is the season.
The weather was cold, and all the things in the field were collected, and only a poor open space remained, all empty, without a little life, and lifeless.
It adds a sense of depression to autumn.
There are a lot of people who get up early today, because they are going to the mountains to pick chestnuts, late autumn, the chestnuts in the mountains and forests are ripe, and there are also round seeds, which are also a kind of chestnuts.
These things, stir-fried, can be used as small snacks after cooking, and the children and women in the village like them.
Every year at this time, when the fog clears and the sun comes out, the children will take a small basket and carry a small cloth bag on their backs to go up the mountain to pick up, and eat while picking up, often forgetting the time, and when it comes to going home, they find that they have not picked up much in a day, and they have eaten it all.
There are still many wild fruits on the mountain, they can pick them back to satisfy their hunger, where is there any fruit in the countryside, this thing, they only know, there are wild fruits on the mountain, sweet.
Rural people don't have spare money to buy these miscellaneous things, they are careful to calculate, every cent is used on the blade, if there is fruit, it is also brought by others, people come to visit you, bring you something.
Every time they can go to the mountain, the children are very happy, and there is a very important reason that the chestnuts, pine nuts, balls, etc. they pick up can be taken to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy, in exchange for a little money to subsidize the family, there are many children in the family, and the adults will send them to the mountains to pick up more, and the promise is to buy them a little fruit candy.
At this time, fruit candy costs two cents a pound, and only during the New Year's holidays will I go to the town's supply and marketing cooperatives to weigh a little bit to entertain guests.
Children can only be given one or two by adults, the rest are locked, after eating, they can only swallow saliva to taste, smash it, smash it, lick their hands, they will also pull the door, stand outside the door and look at the locked cabinet.
The preciousness of this time, put it in the future generations, is not cherished, the children do not like to eat sugar, lick it and throw it away, there are many patterns, squint, lose heart.
The world of drunken gold fans is not as good as the smoke of cooking in the countryside.
Mo Shiyu stayed at home, and after taking care of the vegetable garden, she felt that it was okay, so she thought about going to the mountains to take a stroll, "Yufeng." ”
Mo Shiyu shouted into the room, "What's wrong." ”
Gong Yufeng installed a light bulb in the house, this light bulb was on and flickered a little, the estimated life was approaching, he was free today, moved a ladder, and changed it with a light bulb.
As soon as I landed, I heard her voice.
Mo Shiyu clapped her hands, swept her apron, and came in.
"I want to go to the mountains to play, you said before that I am not safe alone, and you don't let me go out with them, today, you are free, the weather is still so good, take me on a trip." Mo Shiyu looked at the man in front of him with longing eyes.
Gong Yufeng couldn't stand her such a cute expression, his ears were red, and he turned his head a little uncomfortably, Mo Shiyu twisted in front of him, "It's okay, I want to go, please." ”
Mo Shiyu folded his hands and begged him in a posture of please, Gong Yufeng couldn't stand her appearance, nodded, and agreed, Mo Shiyu turned around happily, "Yes, you can go out, I'll change my clothes, right away." ”
The tone was a little excited, and she couldn't wait to try it, she had only been in the mountain once, and it was a few years ago, so she couldn't be happy.
It's like a little girl picking mushrooms, very happy.
jumped up and down to change his clothes, and his movements were very fast, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
Mo Shiyu was carrying a basket, and Gong Yufeng next to him was also carrying a basket, they were not here to pick up things, they were just trying to be happy and let go of the wind.
There are people on the road, all carrying baskets and baskets, this kind of activity is not only carried out in their village, but also in many villages, it is a large-scale collective activity, their goals are the same, and the direction of action is also unusually consistent.
Some people even brought lunch boxes on the mountain, planning to stay on the mountain at noon, so that they can pick up a lot more, and the amount will be more in a day, but this is also a very hard thing, you have to bend down to pick it up, and you have to look for it, and after a while, your back hurts, and they have a hope, money.
Therefore, they are very happy and happy, and even if they are physically tired, they are spiritually rich.
Mo Shiyu inquired, the purchase price of a pound of supply and marketing cooperatives is five cents, they pick up dozens of catties a day, at most two or three yuan a day, besides, there are more and more people who come to pick up, and more and more people go to sell, and the supply and marketing cooperatives will lower the price, and it is estimated that they will only have a few cents a day.
It is an advantage to start with a large number of people, especially for families with large family members, and the short-term income is a considerable amount.
There is no hope in the future, so they are fighting for time, speed, and physical endurance, and there is no income in the countryside, and it is impossible to rely on the food in the field to maintain the expenses of a large family.
The peasant family, raising a few chickens and ducks at home, relying on eggs and duck eggs to buy some money, spending every day, whether there is a source or not, can only think of other ways to make the family feel better.
Saving is the fine tradition of rural people, is the method of raising children, saving food, so that children can eat a mouthful of food, this is the most true idea in the hearts of all parents.
When Mo Shiyu stepped into the woods, he felt the chill from the mountains, with a hint of refreshment in the cold.
The whole person is refreshed, and the brain is clearer than ever.
There are many children in the woods, they are running and playing wantonly, and when they are children, they are really the most innocent time, they are unrestrained, they don't have to think about anything, they just need to play.
The forest in front of her was full of people, Mo Shiyu didn't like to be lively, she pulled Gong Yufeng and went in the other direction to find a quiet place.
There are a lot of chestnut and pine trees in the mountains, and every year new saplings take root, so you don't have to worry at all, they will fight for these.
Walking almost to a place where there were fewer people, Mo Shiyu stopped, "That's it, there are few people, and there is no fuss." ”
"Well, that's here, you don't have to run far."
"Got it, it's verbose." Mo Shiyu patted the hand he put on his head, and every time he had a feeling, he regarded her as a daughter, and the longer they got along, the more obvious this feeling became, and Gong Yufeng's verbose level was about to catch up with the old woman.
Mother-in-law's, very annoying, at first I thought he cared about himself, but after a long time, I felt that this man was really a mother-in-law, and one thing had to be nagged for a long time.
You can only listen to him patiently, otherwise he will hold you for longer, so let's be a little more cooperative.
