Liu Xiaomei also looked at Meizi with a complicated expression, how carefree she was in the past, and she always envied her good fortune at that time.

It seems that no matter how good the blessing of the girl is, she has to do what she has to do when she gets married. Mother is right, it is not wrong to learn more work to live a living.

Chrysanthemum felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she diverted the topic and told them how to make chrysanthemum tea, and the pillows only need to be washed and dried.

The three of them laughed again.

There are so many things to do this year, and this chrysanthemum picking activity is no longer as leisurely as last autumn.

Chrysanthemum kept pinching the chrysanthemum with both hands, and as soon as the movement became fast, it became a pinch. She felt like a tea picker, her hands flying and moving up and down.

Meizi and Liu Xiaomei also sped up the movements of their hands, and in order to pick more, the three of them gradually separated again, and each went in one direction.

After picking chrysanthemums for a while, she saw that the basket and basket were full, although they were fluffy, but the flowers were not easy to press, so she shouted to Meizi and Liu Xiaomei: "I want to go home first." I've got to cook breakfast. ”

As he spoke, he did not wait for them to answer, but turned and hurried home.

On the way, when I looked up, I found that the mountain behind my house was another splendid place, and the oak leaves of the mountain were green, yellow, orange and red, forming a picture that was not inferior to the maple forest

It turned out that before I knew it, I had been here for a whole year.

She couldn't help but feel a little like a dream, and then looked at the blue brick house under the mountain, this heart was steady, this is her home!

Zheng Changhe, Yang and Aoki went to the wheat field early in the morning.

When Chrysanthemum got home, she hurriedly boiled a pot of corn paste, cooked it half-cooked, and pressed some primer in the stove to let it simmer slowly.

Then she took the wild chrysanthemums she picked back to the river and washed them, dried them, and steamed them; Follow and feed the pigs and chickens.

After a while, my father and brother came back for breakfast.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly served the rice, but fortunately there was no need to stir-fry.

This is all thanks to the usual diligence, the pickled cowpeas, pickled water chestnut vegetables, pickled melons, pickled cucumbers, chili flakes, stewed hot sauce, plus salted duck eggs, really want to be all put on the table, also half a table.

But no one will put so many pickles out of it, but they will eat like this today and like that tomorrow.

Seeing the chrysanthemum's busy appearance, Aoki asked, "Are you going to pinch the wild chrysanthemum?" Cooking breakfast like this? Mother, you can come home early tomorrow morning to cook, and you won't be bad for working alone, so that you are tired, and the chrysanthemums are also tired. ”

Zheng Changhe nodded again and again after hearing this, and Yang looked at the fine sweat on the chrysanthemum's forehead and agreed.

When Chrysanthemum saw them say this, she said, "When I was not in a hurry in the past, I felt that I couldn't spare time when I did this in the morning; I'm getting a little busier today, and I'm sure it's time to hurry. It's just that the clothes haven't been washed yet. Wait for noon to come back and wash. ”

Yang comforted: "It's just a little busy in the past two days, and when the acorns are almost picked up, it will not be possible to stay on the mountain all day." ”

The Zheng family was still a step late, and before they had dropped the bowl, they heard a commotion outside—everyone in the village had gone up the mountain to pick up acorns.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there is fighting.

Qingnan Village has always had simple people, but that is only when there is no conflict of interest; If there is really a conflict of interest, simple people will also be anxious, as evidenced by the land dispute between Li Mingtang and the Zheng family last time.

This acorn can be fed to pigs when it is picked up, and people can eat it after it is handled, who doesn't want to grab it?

The village chief Li Gengtian also had no choice, this thing was not easy to distinguish, he couldn't find a perfect way, and he was worried that the villagers would have conflicts over this thing, so he gathered people together and said something.

"Don't worry, I have an account in my heart - this acorn must be enough for everyone to pick up, whether your pigs eat it or people eat it enough - you can't eat acorn tofu every day, right?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

He added: "I just want to tell everyone, Sensei's eyes are shallow, and if you fight for this thing, it's all from the same village, it's not interesting." This little pig is not easy to catch, and the people who feed more pigs in our village have only four pigs; There are only two pigs less, and it is in vain to pick up more. A lot of acorn trees were planted this spring, and they will be planted next year, and they will be planted every year after that. What is there to grab. ”

Zhou Xiaozi said with a smile: "We understand the words of the village chief, if you want everyone to just pick it up, it will be a trouble." If I were to say yes, I wouldn't make a fuss. They are all from the same village, and they don't see anyone who looks down and looks up. Everyone who is diligent will pick up more, and lazy people will pick up less and blame. Right? ”

People are saying that this is the case.

Zhao San said with a smile: "If anyone doesn't stop at night and picks it up with a torch, I will obey him - even if he picks up all the acorns, I have no opinion." ”

Li Gengtian hurriedly said: "What are you talking nonsense? You should joke that there are really that stingy people, who don't know the severity, greedy for such a little cheap, and light a torch to pick up miles. If this burns the mountain, I'll see you cry—you will kill the man. Listen to me, no one is allowed to pick it up at night, and go home when it gets dark. Where is there such a thing? ”

People were shocked at this time, and Liandao would never light a torch to pick it up.

With the village chief's admonition, the fruit-picking activity was quite harmonious, and often several families gathered under a tree and did not quarrel.

Everyone rushed to the mountain behind the chrysanthemum's house, is this close to home, of course, it is to pick up the near place first, and then pick it up on the mountain in the distance.

After picking up enough loads, the men went home to pick them up, and the women continued to pick them up.

The man who turned back from home couldn't find his mother-in-law, and it was not good to call him "baby he (her) mother", so he could only call his name by pulling his throat, otherwise this mountain was full of "baby he (her) mother" and "baby he (her) father", who knows which one you called?

For a while, I heard the constant call from the mountain.

The Chrysanthemum family is naturally the most polished, her house is at the bottom of the mountain, the whole family set out, pick up enough loads, Zheng Changhe picked it back.

Those who are familiar with the Zheng family, such as Zhao San and Zhang Dazhuan, immediately picked the fruit directly to the Zheng family and put it aside, saving them from tossing back and forth. Later, even Liu Da Fat picked the fruit to the Zheng family - his daughter had a good time with chrysanthemums.

Others are embarrassed. It's not that I don't have enough friendship with the Zheng family, but the main thing is that there are several piles in the Zheng family's yard, so wouldn't it be coaxing to pick it up again.

Ju Bao followed Aoki to pick it up, and the two laughed for a while, they were all diligent last year, and there was only this year's mountain full of fruit pickers.

Zhang Huai, who was not far away, asked them what they were laughing at.

Aoki told him.

He didn't answer, just sighed in his heart, it was the time when Aoki was angry with him.

He asked Aoki if he had dug up some trees and planted them again.

Aoki said: "It's better to plant this thing on the mountain, it's too much space." Although I have a little space in my backyard, I still want to plant more fruit trees. I would like to tell the village chief to plant more open space on the mountain next year. After the tree is planted, it will have to be taken care of for a while, and it will not be able to leave it until it is alive. Therefore, this acorn cannot be picked up cleanly, and not a single mile is left. ”

Zhang Huai nodded and said that he would try to plant acorns to see if they could emerge. If it does, it will save you from looking for saplings all over the mountain. When the fallen fruit sprouts, it is not as good as the human seed.

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but light up in her eyes, and immediately said to him: "Brother Huaizi, this is a good idea. It may not be possible to grow it, but don't you have to try everything to make it happen? You might as well tell the village chief to get a piece of land to plant this thing, and think more about it when everyone is fine, and often find those old people with experience to take a look, maybe in the future, you can have as many acorn trees as you want. ”

She looked at Zhang Huaiyin's eyes suddenly lit up after listening to her words, and felt that her gaze was too hot, so she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

While thinking, whether it is Aoki or Zhang Huai, they are all smart, but they are just hindered by their knowledge and are not used to expanding their thinking. I often mentioned it, and they gradually bloomed.

Zhang Huai just said his thoughts casually, but he didn't expect not only to be praised by Chrysanthemum, but also to help come up with an idea and say this big thing.

When he saw Chrysanthemum bow her head, he seemed to be a little shy, and his heart suddenly softened, and his face turned red with joy, and he nodded at Chrysanthemum busily—regardless of whether she had lowered her head and couldn't see—and said that he must tell the village chief this.

Zheng Changhe, Zhang Dazhuan and Aoki also said that this is a good idea.

As he was talking, he saw the village chief Li Gengtian pick up a load of acorns and was about to go down the mountain, so he asked by the way: "What's the matter?" Look at how hot you two are, let me hear it too. ”

Zhang Huai and the others were overjoyed when they saw the village chief coming, so they told him what they had just said.

Li Gengtian was also so happy that he put down his burden, and said that this idea is good and proper, why didn't he remember it last year?

"This fruit can sprout when it falls to the ground, if we come to plant it, won't it produce more? That's a good idea. Alas! The two of you are studying, but it's not the same as usual, one idea after another. I see that this year's fish pond will definitely have a lot more fish than usual. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan couldn't close their mouths happily.

Li Gengtian turned his head to Zheng Changhe: "Changhe, I am a cheerful person, and I don't like to procrastinate the most." This method is good, let's take it as a big deal. But it's better to plant this thing on the side of the mountain, and the village will rent you a piece of land to grow it. Other people don't have as much land as yours - although I have more land, I have less land. Anyway, you can give as much rent as you want, and you can't plant your land in vain. What do you see? ”

Zheng Changhe hurriedly said: "What can't be done." If you look back, you can just draw out a piece of that piece of land, and I will plant a little less and save a little less. ”

Li Gengtian nodded with satisfaction and said to them: "When this matter is over, let's pick those large acorns for backup, and every family has to pick some for the village." Then I try to plant it. Alas! I'm going to go home and ask my dad when this acorn sprout will emerge. Usually we didn't care, no one cared! ”

Aoki smiled, "Don't be afraid, try a few more times." For example, some are deeper, some are shallow, some are planted in wet places, and some are planted in dry places. "Min.
