Mai Yonghai told his sister that there was no intermarriage between the same surname and that merchants could take concubines, but the children born to them did not have the right to share the property.

When the four of them had gathered, Maiwan led them back from another road, catching a roe deer and two rabbits on the way. Mai Xiaohuan also found a large patch of wild sweet potatoes, she pretended not to know, and asked in surprise: "Second brother, what is this?" ”

Mai Yonghai glanced in the direction of his sister's finger and said with a smile: "This is a potato, and after a month, you can dig it home and feed it to cattle and sheep." ”

People can eat it, too! And the nutritional value is quite high, so why not put it on the table?

"Second brother, haven't you tasted what it tastes like?" Mai Xiaohuan really hoped that the second brother would taste it, so that his proposal would be easy to pass.

Mai Yonghai glared at his sister, he is not a rabbit on the mountain, he has to try everything, but when he was herding cattle, he saw that those animals liked to eat, and there was nothing to do, he would dig some back every autumn, and he didn't dare to give too much to the old cow at one time, for fear that it would break.

It seems that there are a lot of treasures that can be excavated on this mountain! Mai Xiao made up his mind that he would often go up the mountain in the future, even if he couldn't make a fortune, he could always improve his food!

When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Mai Yonghai and his brothers picked some wild vegetables and cut a few bundles of grass and carried them on their shoulders. Mai Xiaohuan lay on her father's broad back for the first time, swaying all the way home, and when she got home, she was already asleep.

Shan Cuihua picked up Mai Xiaohuan, who was sleeping, and complained to her husband: "Look at the tired child, don't take her out next time." ”

Mai Wan just smirked, the little girl was having a good time today, Xiaozui was not idle, even if she refused to take her next time she went up the mountain, I am afraid she would think of following.

"Mother, what do you think Xiao Huan brought back?" Mai Xiaofang took things out of her sister's back basket in the same way, crushed mulberries, blackened mushrooms, messy wild fruits, only wolfberries were wrapped in a cloth, and the rest of the things could no longer be seen in their original appearance.

Mai Xiaohuan slept until dinner, if someone hadn't called her, it was estimated that she would have slept until tomorrow morning. After running for a day and sleeping a lot, Mai Xiaohuan really felt hungry, she ate a lot, nibbled on mountain chicken, and drank a bowl full of wild vegetable soup. Compared to the usual amount of food, both in terms of quality and quantity, it is much more.

Shan Cuihua originally wanted to say at the dinner table that she would never be allowed to follow her up the mountain again, but she couldn't help but change her mind when she saw this scene. It's not bad to let her go to the foot of the mountain when she has nothing to do in the future, but it is absolutely not okay to go into the mountain alone, Shan Cuihua warned Mai Xiaohuan that if she was found out by herself entering the mountain alone, she would not want to go out in the future.

Anyway, the sweet potatoes and mushrooms are not in the mountains, you can see them halfway up the mountain, as long as you are careful, how can it be so easy to be discovered by others, Mai Xiaohuan nodded obediently, and agreed to the conditions of her mother.

Mai Xiaofang asked her why she picked so many wolfberries? Even if I have a belly of theoretical knowledge, I can't say it! In the eyes of his family, he is a child who has little knowledge and should not understand anything, how to explain it?

"I've heard people say it's a kind of medicinal herb, and I don't know what it cures." Mai Yonghai explained vaguely. Mai Xiaohuan, who is at the bottom of this sentence, also remembered how to make up an excuse: "I also listened to what Xiucai said, it can make people's bodies get better faster, and if they are energetic, they can also soak in water and drink." "It's okay to chew without soaking in water, but Mai Xiaohuan didn't dare to say too much, for fear of arousing suspicion from others.

There are a lot of wolfberries on the mountain, Shan Cuihua told the men in the family to pick some back when they go up the mountain, Mai Yonghai asked his sister what to do with the beehive, and Mai Xiaohuan directly said to soak in water and drink. Everyone came over to laugh at her, and thought she knew a lot! It turns out that there is only one way, and everything is used to soak in water.

I do know a lot, but it's just more troublesome to explain, hey! Let them misunderstand!

"Yo! It's all eaten, our mother wants to eat pheasant today, let me come over and ask, since you are all stewed, I'll serve it ready-made. Wu didn't need to be greeted by others, and sat at the dinner table, waiting for Shan Cuihua's reply.

She deliberately came to block Shan Cuihua today, who asked her to take out the promised fabric until now, and asked for something in the name of her mother-in-law, to see how embarrassed she was not to give it. As for the rabbit they sent over, tomorrow we will let our own family take it to the market and sell it, and we can exchange it for some copper plates!

Shan Cuihua used her brain a little to know why this concubine came, did she think it would be good under the banner of her mother-in-law? It's weird to eat her own set.

"It's unfortunate that my sister-in-law came, you see that our pheasants have eaten only the bone shelf, a total of two, we stewed one at home, and was bought by Xiucai Niangzi just now. The rabbit Xiaohuan sisters want to play with it, I'm sorry, let the sister-in-law run for nothing. ”

Wu Shi laughed dryly, and his eyes changed his words: "Look at my memory, our mother wants to eat roe deer meat, and it doesn't need much, just have two hind legs." ”

How much meat can a roe deer have, what is left of the two hind legs, at this time Shan Cuihua felt a little aggrieved, after her husband came back, she picked the fattest rabbit and let the eldest son send it to his mother-in-law, and stewed a pheasant at his own house, and distributed half a rabbit to the third family. A few live rabbits were going to be kept, and the roe deer was thinking of sending it to the restaurant tomorrow for two dollars, but he didn't expect it to be remembered.

Mai Xiaofang "snapped" and threw her chopsticks and asked Wu: "Uncle and two cousins are idle at home, you want to eat roe deer and go to the mountains to fight by yourself!" What are you doing staring at my house? Our family also wants to sell roe deer for Xiao Huan to catch a few pairs of medicine to drink! It's okay to give you the roe deer, and the aunt will give you the money! ”

Mai Xiaofang stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Wu, if she wanted to eat roe deer meat, she could buy it with money.

What kind of medicine does that girl take! Maybe one day I'll get sick and I'll be gone! Wu looked at Mai Xiaohuan with disgust, hey! This girl's complexion is much better than a few days ago, although she hasn't become stronger all of a sudden, and she looks more pleasing to the eye than before.

She won't take out a copper plate for Mai Xiaofang to kill the Wu family, and her best thing is to buckle the unfilial hat for her two younger siblings, so she opened her mouth and said: "I haven't heard that any family needs money to send food to mother-in-law and grandmother, Xiaofang is really filial!" ”

The eldest mother is too bullying, Mai Xiaohuan held down the second sister who wanted to jump up and salute the Wu family a few words, and said slowly: "My grandmother can eat whatever she wants, as long as there is something at home, we should send it over, but it is too insincere to just send food, I followed the eldest mother to accompany my grandmother for a few days." Second sister, you help me bring the medicine, every morning and evening, trouble my aunt to help me boil up, my aunt let my cousin live with me! In case I get sick in the middle of the night, it's easier to call someone. ”

You are convenient, our whole family is about to suffer, once there is something I can't say clearly. Wu came in a hurry and went in a gloomy manner, without getting any cheapness.
