Qu Xiaobai found out the small shovel at home, and put a half-human tall basket on his back, which is a necessary equipment for picking mushrooms on the mountain, they are all necessary for every household here, prepare things, and look back, Qu Xiaobai is happy.

Her younger brother Qu Xiaojiang is so good, he is fully armed, with a basket, shovel, and even a straw hat, this little guy is more active than her.

"Sister, let's go, I'm all right!" Qu Xiaojiang likes to play in the mountains, not only Qu Xiaojiang! There is no entertainment for the children here, and probably the only fun is to go up the mountain and down the river, whether it is fishing, mushroom picking, or digging birds' eggs in the trees, it is definitely the game they are most interested in.

Mushroom picking is certainly not a job in their minds, but only a game reward.

Qu Xiaobai locked the door, and the two of them ran into other children in the village just after walking a short distance, everyone looked at each other and smiled, all for the same purpose, picking mushrooms.

There is a kind of wild mountain mushroom called white fir on the mountain here, because of the regional temperature, there is no other place, it is a unique and rare thing, and because of the season, only this time is available, the yield is not high, because the taste is good, rare, in the provincial capital those places this is expensive game.

Every year at this time, there are dealers to buy, it has been three yuan in their place is simply a sky-high price, of course, this 1 catty is only dried dry goods, if you dig out fresh first, there is not so much money. Everyone is a little master sent by their parents to earn pocket money.

Qu Xiaobai took Qu Xiaojiang and more than a dozen children from the same village into the mountain together, they all received strict orders from their parents to only allow activities in the woodland in the middle of the mountainside, there are no wild beasts, insects and rats within this range, it belongs to the safe zone, and it is absolutely not allowed to cross in the dense forest above, because there are many wild beasts in the deep forest there, and adults dare not go alone. Don't say kids.

As soon as we arrived at the first realm, everyone had already scattered flowers and separated, and each circled a small piece of ground and began to rummage around, however, there are many wild mushrooms of all kinds, but the white fir is not a precious wild mountain mushroom that can be found everywhere, and the white fir will only occasionally pop up one or two, and the people who pick it will also cheer loudly, because the adults have already explained that the more white fir they pick, the better the reward they will get during the New Year.

All of them are like petty wealth fans, with a pair of small eyes shining brightly, and they are touching everywhere like searchlights.

Qu Xiaojiang looked at his sister's slow appearance, and couldn't help but be anxious, "Sister, hurry up!" Hurry up, or you'll be left with nothing in a while. For he had already heard the excited cheers of the people who had caught the white fir trees.

I'm afraid that I'll be late and return empty-handed.

Qu Xiaobai shook his head, "We're not here, guess you come with me." Go to the other side of the forest, there is no one there, we go there to pick, and we don't have to fight with others. "She wasn't going to fight anyone else here. He pointed to the fork in the woods, and there was a small grove of trees that went there.

But that place is generally reluctant to go, between the woods sparsely pulled, there is no dense shade, of course, it is not easy to find out the mushrooms and wild mountain mushrooms, in previous years there have also been people to search there, but unfortunately because no one has gone there for a long time to chop wood and step on mushrooms, pick wild fruits and the like, there are too many fallen leaves, the road is very difficult to walk, not to say, in the end, every time I get an empty-handed return.

After a long time, no one wants to go over there, knowing that working there for most of the day may not be as good as spending a few hours here in the woods and getting the harvest. Although the children are not stupid, they also know that it is a waste of time.

When Qu Xiaojiang heard this, his thick black eyebrows actually wrinkled into a Sichuan character, "Sister, it's not good over there, there's nothing." Let's go on this side anyway. Saying this, it also made him feel very embarrassed, after all, from childhood to adulthood, he grew up with his sister, and he really didn't want to go against his sister's will, you know that the bamboo basket is empty, and you have to go there with your sister, he doesn't want to see his sister disappointed, so he persuades.

Qu Xiaobai didn't care at all, she had her own purpose, just because everyone knew that there would be no white fir in that forest, and that person found it in this forest, a large piece of white fir trees, and more than 50 catties of dry goods that had been exposed to the sun, since she was reborn and came back, there was absolutely no reason to let it go.

"Let's go, let's go with me, there are too many people here, let's go over there to see the possibilities, and there are still some gains."

Qu Xiaojiang sighed, who let this be her sister, her sister brought him up since he was a child, disappointed, disappointed, just go to the forest with her sister to play, it's a big deal that she will dig out two more bird's nests, and then pick some of the mountain fruits that her sister likes, which can be regarded as a tooth sacrifice.

Qu Xiaobai looked at Qu Xiaojiang and looked old-fashioned, and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, sister has a hunch that our luck is very good today, if we pick wild mountain mushrooms and sell them for money, we will raise a little pig, and raise two more chickens, the chickens will lay eggs, and our family will have eggs to eat, and the piglets will be raised until the New Year, and they will be able to sell for money. ”

A beautiful vision is an impulse that can arouse hope, Qu Xiaobai is this policy, and his little brother has a natural love complex for small animals.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Qu Xiaojiang's eyes immediately lit up, and a little paw grabbed his sister's sleeve tightly and asked, "Really sister, do we also raise piglets and chickens in our family?" "He is a little pig in Zhao Erniu's house, who played very well with him, although the little guy is dirty, but he looks very cute, the curly little tail and fat body, and the appearance of burying his head in hard work, all make him feel very rare.

"Our task today is to save money to buy pigs and chickens!" Qu Xiaobai took Qu Xiaojiang to the other side of the forest, and met a child who asked them where to go?

She pointed to the forest, and everyone looked at the two siblings with the same eyes as if they were fools. Everyone knows that there will be no big harvest in that forest, and if these two sisters and brothers go over there, can they not be regarded as fools?

The two of them left everyone and walked into the woods, where the trees were not dense, sparse, and the ground in the woods was full of thick fallen leaves.

Qu Xiaojiang had already seen that there were actually two crooked necks and two bird's nests on the tree, he didn't care about anything else, so he went directly to climb the tree and dig out the bird's nest, this is what boys often do, two bird's nests, the harvest is quite rich, and he actually took out more than a dozen bird eggs. was put in the back basket by Qu Xiaojiang as a baby.

also picked a large handful of wild raspberries, which are also their specialties here, which are fully ripe at this time, this one is sweet and silky in the mouth, with a slight sourness, Qu Xiaojiang added a few and stuffed it into Qu Xiaobai's mouth, and the two of them ate with purple-red juice all over their hands.
