Because I fought with the wild boar for 300 rounds yesterday, I was quiet and a little tired, so I didn't go up the mountain today. It's a rare time to sleep a little more in the morning. When she got up, Xin'er had already made breakfast. I boiled millet porridge and warmed the buns she brought back from town yesterday.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and I think that I can dig bamboo shoots as well. It just so happened that there was nothing to do today, so Quiet planned to take three small ones to dig bamboo shoots. drank the last mouthful of porridge and said to the three little ones: "It's okay today, after eating, my sister will take you to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest in a while." ”

Jiaming asked without raising his head: "Digging bamboo shoots?" What are bamboo shoots? What are you digging for? ”

"You'll know when the time comes, eat your meal!"

The bamboo forest is directly behind the quiet house, two or three hundred meters away. There is more than this bamboo forest in Qingshan Village, but the others are on the other side of the village, far away from Jingjing's house. This bamboo forest is not too big, because few people come here, and there are many wild grasses around the bamboo forest, so the road is not very easy to walk.

In the spring, the weather is getting warmer, and wild vegetables are emerging from the ground. Bitter spring, bitter spring, for the common people, the most difficult thing is winter, but the most bitter is spring. Because there are still stored autumn vegetables to eat in winter, and in spring, there is really nothing, so you can only eat pickles at once, and Jing's house does not even have a single pickle.

Walked for an hour before coming to the edge of the bamboo forest, because there is almost no one here, the wild vegetables are relatively large, there are shepherd's cabbage, mother-in-law Ding, small wild onions, and wild leeks sister and brother are nimble, digging a basket of camellia shallots and leeks, digging two or two big buses, quietly hands on the waist, slightly tilting his head, looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, he remembers very well when he was in power, he also bought bamboo shoots in the vegetable market, the uncle said that spring bamboo shoots are better than autumn bamboo shoots, and there are a lot of spring bamboo shoots, probably this season.

In my quiet memory, I haven't eaten this bamboo shoot, probably this kind of food hasn't been discovered yet, maybe it hasn't been discovered by the people here! Tell your younger siblings to march to the bamboo forest.

"Eldest sister, there are no wild vegetables in this bamboo forest, I have come to look for them before, but what are the bamboo shoots you are talking about? I don't know" Seeing the eldest sister with peace of mind, her face was full of excitement, and she couldn't help but remind

"You stupid girl, can the eldest sister still know that there are no wild vegetables in this bamboo forest? Didn't you say that? We don't dig wild vegetables today, our main purpose today is to dig bamboo," he said with a quiet smile.

"Big sister, are you stupid? Bamboo is inedible, it can't be bitten, and I used to sneak around when I was hungry and thought about whether I could eat it? As a result, my teeth hurt," Jia Ming said as he looked at the eldest sister with a serious face.

"Xin'er, Jiaming, Jiayue, do you say that this wild vegetable is old and delicious, or is it tender and delicious?"

"Of course it's tender and delicious, but the old ones are astringent and bitter, and Yueyue doesn't like them," the little girl said and pouted, expressing that she really didn't like it.

Anxin, perhaps thinking of those difficult days, touched Jiayue's head with pity, and said to her gently: "Fourth sister, don't worry, from now on we will never eat that astringent and bitter wild vegetable soup again." The eldest sister bought a lot of rice and noodles, and the fourth sister made whatever she wanted to eat, and the second sister made it for you. I promise to raise you white and tender, chubby. ”

The little girl may have listened to the words of the second sister, or maybe she thought of the rice noodles at home that could not be eaten The little girl grinned and squinted her eyes.

The four sisters and brothers had already entered the middle of the bamboo forest while talking. Jiaming's eyes lit up as he stared at a bamboo shoot that had just emerged from the soil and said, "Sister, is this what you said about edible bamboo shoots?" ”

Quietly patted Jiaming's head: "My third brother is smart, right!" This is the bamboo shoot that the eldest sister said, we dig this kind of bamboo shoots that are just about to emerge, and they can't dig anymore if they have come out, and they are too old and not delicious, so they have long bamboo."

How many children got tattoos and dug them up? Even the voice of the voice is much quieter, I am afraid that the ecological big will come, others are not children are selfish, but their own families can't take care of it, where can they take care of others? The four sisters and brothers dug and dug the clothes, and soon filled the two back baskets they brought. That's all, it's still peeled. Leave peace of mind with two small ones to continue digging, quietly send these home first, until sunset in the West Mountain, run back and forth six or seven times, the bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest are almost dug up, the sisters and brothers didn't even eat lunch, and now they are also hungry before the heart is close to the back.

Quietly straightened up, clapped his hands, and said to the little ones who were still bending down to look for it: "Okay, okay, it's not too early, let's go home for dinner, this bamboo curtain is like this, and the bamboo shoots that can be dug are almost dug up, and tomorrow we will go to other bamboo forests and go around." Saying that, he took the lead in carrying a back basket and folding a bamboo pole and cutting a bamboo pole and a peace of mind platform, and the other one has a lot of water, and a back basket weighs fifty or sixty pounds, he is reluctant to let the second sister carry such a heavy little girl, small bones, and small meat If it is crushed, he will be distressed.

Quietly looked around, there are still some bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest, and it is not a problem to dig three or five frames. But you can't dig anymore, you can't do that thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, right? You have to leave some bamboo shoots and bamboo for this bamboo forest, you can't eat for yourself, and you can't kill other people's bamboo!

When I got home, the sun had already set, and it was about four or five o'clock. "Eldest sister, I'm going to cook, you can get these bamboo shoots, I don't know how to do it." As he spoke, Anxin put on his apron and entered the stove room.

"Don't be in a hurry with these bamboo shoots first, and then get them after dinner. Isn't there meat at home, let's have a good meal today. Isn't this old saying that it's not as delicious as dumplings. Today, let's eat dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage. ”

When they heard that dumplings were eaten at night, the two little ones immediately cheered. They still ate dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and at that time, everyone only got two or three, and they didn't even taste the taste, so they were gone. Now that the eldest sister says that she wants to make dumplings to eat, it's no wonder that they are unhappy!

Quiet and noodles, peace of mind to chop the filling, the noodles are reconciled, and the stuffing is also chopped. A large piece of pork, chopped two handfuls of shepherd's cabbage, and mixed with a large bowl of dumpling filling. Everything was ready, the two sisters worked together, and in less than half an hour, the white and chubby dumplings were wrapped.

The cauldron had already been filled with water, Jia Ming was sitting in front of the stove pit boiling fire water to boil the dumplings, quietly while making dumplings, he turned his head to the two little ones and said: "I'll give you a riddle, guess a kind of food, listen!" A flock of big white geese jumped into the river together, washing the hot water first, and then passing the cold water. Guess what? ”

"Big sister... Big sister, I know. It's dumplings, right? Jiaming looked at Jing Jing with an expectant face.

"It's still our Jiaming who is the smartest, and if you guess it right, it's dumplings!" The quiet affirmation and praise made Jiaming very happy. The grin showed eight neat little white teeth.

Two pots full of ingot-like dumplings were served on the table, and a pot of thick dumpling soup was served. The four sisters and brothers ate and drank, all with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.
