Chapter 012: Digging Bamboo Shoots
"I know where, Uncle Wu, I'll take you there." After Zhao He finished speaking, he said hello to Bai Qian before leading everyone in another direction.
Bai Qian took his little brother and little sister to find something nearby to put up the pot, and after walking for so long, everyone was hungry, so they prepared things first, and everyone could eat them when they came back.
When she was sorting out her things, she found that many people in the village had brought Chinese cabbage over, and there were a lot of one or two trees added to the family, but Bai Qian still felt that it was not enough.
They are all big men, and they don't care if they eat the food in their stomachs, but fortunately there is meat left over from yesterday, so I washed the rice first and added it to a large pot of water to boil.
Bai Xin watched the fire, and Bai Zixuan kept picking up some dry firewood around.
"Little brother, don't go far, just pick it up around here." Bai Qian was about to cut the meat, she decided to stew the Chinese cabbage, saw Xiao Xuan's figure, and admonished.
"Eldest sister, I know, I'll pick it up here." Bai Zixuan turned his head and smiled, "Eldest sister, there is really a lot of dry firewood here, unlike us at home, we have to go to the mountain to pick it up, and the people around the mountain have been picked up, and I usually don't pick up any firewood." β
"Well, your brother-in-law lives alone here, and he doesn't usually burn fires, of course there are more than outside." Bai Qiantou didn't raise his head back.
"Eldest sister, is my brother-in-law good to you?" Bai Zixuan was full of firewood in his arms and ran to her to ask.
Bai Qian stopped the movement in her hand, looking at this little brother who was ten years younger than her, even the little sister looked at it curiously, she reached out and pinched the little brother's thin face and smiled, "You little fart, what can you do?" β
"Eldest sister, if your brother-in-law treats you badly, then we would rather not have his silver, than let you follow him, the younger brother will work hard to earn silver in the future, so that the father, eldest sister, and younger sister can live a good life."
"Then tell the eldest sister, how are you going to make money and let everyone in the family live a good life?" Bai Qian raised her eyebrows, looking at such a little brother, she wanted to tease him.
"I, I...... I'll be able to make money when I grow up, and I'm sure I'll be able to make a good life for everyone. Bai Zixuan was in a hurry, he didn't know how to make money, he just wanted to grow up quickly, become an adult like his father, and earn money to support his family.
Bai Qian looked at him anxiously, and laughed out loud, "Eldest sister teases you, our Zixuan will be a man in the future, and he will definitely be able to earn a lot of silver, but now that you are still young, don't think about this, your brother-in-law is very good to me, didn't you also see it?" That's an honest man. β
"What to talk to your brother and sister, it's good to be honest, don't bully others." Bai Zhou walked over, just heard Bai Qian's words, and scolded with a smile.
Bai Qian: "......"
She didn't do anything, she just kept her mouth shut.
Bai Zixuan snickered with Bai Xin, and the eldest sister said that her brother-in-law had bad things for her mother to catch.
In the face of the snickering of the two little children, Bai shallow stroked her forehead, she is not so naΓ―ve!
Zhao He and Uncle Wu and a group of them soon came back with a handful of bamboos, and their mouths opened wide in shock as they looked at their large lineup.
Is this cutting down the entire mountain of trees?
"Daughter-in-law, there is a big bamboo forest on that side, and I haven't cut it down." Zhao He threw the bamboo on his shoulder to the ground, looked at his daughter-in-law and replied with a smirk.
Bai Qian stepped forward to take a look at these bamboos, they really looked good, but he didn't expect that there were so many bamboos here, and then his eyes lit up.
What does it mean to have bamboo?
It's winter, and it's the season for bamboo shoots to be harvested!!
"Zhao He, where did you cut these bamboos, can you take me over to see?"
Facing his daughter-in-law's bright eyes, Zhao He touched the back of his head, "I'll take my daughter-in-law over." β
After saying that, I remembered that he had to build a house with everyone.
"Go, it doesn't matter if you don't have one, you should take the white girl to relax, hahaha......" Uncle Zhao laughed after speaking.
The men of the village were used to joking and laughed along.
Bai Qian is even a modern person, but he is teased by so many people, and his face is red.
Pick up the bamboo basket and go first, Zhao He was also in a good mood when he saw this, stepped forward to catch up with her, took the bamboo basket and put it on his back, and walked in front carefully.
This road has just been walked by everyone, so it is not so difficult to walk, and the two of them did not walk long before they came to the place where the bamboo was chopped.
"Wow, there's so much bamboo here." Bai Qian looked at the bamboo that had been cut down a lot around him, but there were still many bamboos that had not grown tall, or did not grow well.
"On this mountain, there is only bamboo here, what is my daughter-in-law looking for here?" Zhao He put the things on the ground and looked at his daughter-in-law puzzled.
The daughter-in-law is so good-looking, no matter how you look at it, she can't get enough of it, and the more she looks at it, the better she looks.
"Idiot, you have to look at me like this again, be careful that I ignore you." Bai Qian was a little embarrassed to be looked at by him like this, so he had to say angrily.
"Daughter-in-law, I just like to watch it." Zhao He said that this was really what he said in his heart, and he never lied.
Bai Qian decided not to discuss this issue with him, looked around for a while, and looked at the bamboo shoots that popped up and was overjoyed, sure enough, there were bamboo shoots.
"Nerd, come over with a hoe and dig it all back."
"Daughter-in-law, what are you digging these things for? These things don't taste good. "Zhao He is used to calling his daughter-in-law a nerd when he has a time.
He didn't understand why his daughter-in-law suddenly wanted to dig these things back, but his daughter-in-law's words, although he didn't know how to break them, he was still very obedient and started digging.
There are a lot of bamboo shoots, and the two of them dug a small half after digging for a long time, looking at the bamboo shoots in one place, Bai Qian was a little dumbfounded, and unconsciously dug so much.
Glancing at the man who was still moving, she hurriedly spoke, "Idiot, stop, don't dig anymore, how can we get back so much?" β
Zhao He straightened up and swept around, also a little dumbfounded, why did they dig so much?
"Daughter-in-law, I don't know what to do."
Bai Qian sighed, if he didn't go back, the family should be in a hurry, everyone knew that the two of them were here, and they hadn't gone back after such a long time, they should also be looked for, Bai Qian, who figured it out, was not very worried.
She asked Zhao He to put all the dug bamboo shoots together, good guy, this big pile is enough for the whole village to eat.
looked at the sky, thinking that waiting was also waiting, she sat on the side and taught Zhao He to deal with these bamboo shoots, to be honest, she loves to eat these things, but she really doesn't like to clean up.
The main thing is that I hate the hairs on the bamboo shoots too much, and if it is so small on the hand, it will really make people crazy.
"You pay attention, don't get the little hair on it, don't look harmless with these things, but it's amazing, if you stick it on your hand, it will be very troublesome."
"Daughter-in-law, I'll be careful, just watch from the side, it's too close." Zhao He said with a smile, listening to his daughter-in-law's words and carefully cleaning up.
When they had cleaned up a dozen or so roots, Bai Qian finally heard someone call them.
"Zhao boy, what are you two doing here? These things are not delicious, and they are prickly on the hands, and it is very troublesome to get on the hands. β
Doctor He walked over with a medicine on his back, followed by his son, the two of them were embarrassed, but seeing that the back basket was full, it should be a good harvest.
