Chapter 627: Going up the mountain together
"On the seventh day of July, if you don't pick hazelnuts, you will beat pears." Every year in the "summer" season, all kinds of mountain goods and wild fruits are ripe and ready to be picked.
Before the summer day, the brigade had a uniform rule: no one was allowed to go up the mountain to pick hazelnuts and pears to ensure that the fruits were fully ripe and would not be 'robbed'.
Now that the summer has passed, in a few days, Zhang's mother's birthday on the twentieth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar has also arrived, and naturally there are still mountain goods and wild fruits waiting for Zhang Guoqing and them to come back.
In the past, some people could pick two or three sacks of hazelnuts, plus other wild fruits. In addition to selling to the acquisition station, every household cat winter is not short of these foods and snacks.
And now. The periphery of Daqingshan has also been excavated and over-harvested in the past two or three years. It is unlikely that you will recuperate in a few years and want to be green again, and it is unlikely that you will have a lot of fruit.
But Kiko doesn't think so.
After eating breakfast, they looked at Zhang Guoqing, a "capable man", with expectant eyes, eager to go into the depths of the mountainside. If it weren't for the frequent wolf howling sounds, a few half-sized children would have entered the mountain long ago.
Zhang Guoqing didn't sleep all night last night, and he really didn't want to take them up the mountain. But I thought of the dense hazelnuts in the mountains, the cute bitter girls handfuls of them, the mountain grapes in the ditch, the clumps of hazelnut mushrooms under the oak trees, and the black fungus on the trees.
He was really reluctant to give up! There is another reason why he is not happy. He didn't believe that the dozen or so Orions in the brigade hadn't noticed. It is estimated that they all remained silent tacitly, planning to harvest the spring wheat and then go up the mountain privately.
In this case, then his family will collect a wave first, and see if those people can keep it? If it's cheap and good, it really feels that Daqingshan is the backyard of their Orion's house.
Zhang Guoqing was silent for a moment, and said to Xizi and Ziwen: "Xizi went to find your Uncle Qingshan, and Ziwen went to find your Uncle Qingfeng, be careful not to show your feet." Let them take a day off, and say that I have something to look for them. If they hesitate, you say it's okay to wait and don't worry. ”
Xizi and Ziwen looked at each other and smiled, "Uncle (uncle), I know how to do it." ”
Zhang Guoqing smiled, and then ordered: "In this operation, tell the outside world that your aunt will take you up the mountain to pick herbs and prepare them for the team's health center." ”
"Understood!" The two cousins grinned.
"Alright, you go and do your errands. Don't tell your younger siblings just yet, stay steady. After Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked them to go out first.
Watching the two of them leave, he walked towards the hall and glanced at Zhou Jiao and Ping'an. The young couple left their son and sneaked home.
Xiao Ping'an was excited. His dad finally took himself up the mountain! It's a lot of meat, a lot of wild fruit. Thinking of this, the villain's big eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile.
As soon as Zhou Jiao entered the house, she frowned lightly and said in a low voice: "I slept in the car for a long time, but you are different, can't you go up the mountain tomorrow?" ”
Since Zhang Guoqing has planned it, he has no intention of changing it. He smiled and said, "Why don't you go into the house, can you try to see if your man can do it?" ”
Zhou Jiao scolded with a smile: "Color embryo! ”
"You see you're thinking too much. Rest assured, I'll come back when I'm tired. Hurry up and change into long clothes and trousers, and bring my son's small bow and clothes. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded and quickly ran to the living room to prepare. With so many children in the past, precautionary powder is indispensable. In addition to snakes and insects on the mountain, there are also buzzing wasps that are the most terrifying. Especially in this season, mosquitoes are a big handful, and if you are not careful, it is a big bag, and it will itch for several days after applying the medicine.
When she came out, Zhou Jiao had already changed into old clothes, carrying a big black bag and a bamboo basket on her back. This image made Zhang Guoqing laugh.
"If you dare to laugh, I'll feed you a handful of medicine!"
Yo~ This is not possible! Zhang Guoqing immediately coaxed: "My daughter-in-law is naturally beautiful, how to dress up and look good." Why do you think you're so pretty? ”
"Open your eyes and tell nonsense!" Zhou Jiao smiled and glanced at him.
Zhang Guoqing looked around and shouted, "Who said that?" There is a fatal temptation to show uniforms. ”
Zhou Jiao saw that he ran away as soon as he finished speaking, and hurriedly chased after him. This guy is dead! My mind is getting dirtier and dirtier, and I think about messy things all day long!
The couple entered the old courtyard in a fight, and immediately pretended to be not the same person just now. Entering the hall, Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingfeng, two cousins, had been waiting there for a long time.
"Little Five, are you going up the mountain? What do we need to bring? ”
Zhang Guoqing listened to Zhang Qingshan's question, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of wild fruits in the mountains not far from the periphery. Let's go see it today, and you can arrange it for our younger brothers in the evening. ”
Zhang Qingshan knew it when he heard this. The three of them had to steal this matter for a day or two first, and then they had to bring the villagers over to finish it.
He pulled Qingfeng back to change his outfit first, and he had to bring the sack at home. The two of them left in a hurry, but Zhang Guoqing had a headache!
Looking at the young men and half-grown girls in the hall. Boy! There are almost thirty of twenty people. At the moment, Quan looked at himself with a smirk.
What else could he say? Go, go! I still want to go to the mountains tomorrow to collect another day, but now it seems that it is still forgotten, and it is estimated that I will be tossed by these bear children, and there is not much left.
By the time the thirty or so people were ready to take precautions, it was already an hour later.
If so many people go out, it will definitely attract attention. Especially during the summer vacation this year, the people in the team who can let their children go to school are from good families and cherish their children. These elementary school students didn't go to the field, and occasionally cut pigweed, herded cattle or something to earn some work.
If he saw so many of them going up the mountain, especially if his uncle was still among them, these little radish heads would definitely follow. Not to mention that it takes effort to take care of the children from home, and everything that is picked at home has to be handed over to the public.
Without waiting for Zhang Guoqing's arrangement, Xizi, Tie Dan and Ziwen, who were thinking carefully, and a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys asked their younger brothers and sisters to act separately and gather somewhere in Daqingshan.
At this time, Zhou Jiao did not allow Ping'an to follow his brothers, hugged him in his arms with a strap, secretly stuffed his son with a pack of drugs, and pointed to the small gourd hanging around his neck.
Heian Yuan still felt a little shy that he was a manly man in his arms, and he couldn't care about what he thought when he saw the situation, and his eyes lit up.
- Is he free to try?
Zhou Jiao whispered as she walked: "Remember the prerequisites." ”
Xiao Ping'an nodded happily. Isn't it just that you can't be exposed until the moment of crisis? Wait for him and let his dad avoid outsiders. That's not a lot of opportunity!
What his son thinks, Zhou Jiao knows everything about it. She smiled, "After all, what you learn on paper is nothing, and you will recognize a few herbs with me first, and then ask your father to teach you how to survive in the forest." ”
This will be peaceful, retract the smile, and nod earnestly. He remembered his mom saying that hunting was secondary, and survival skills in the wild kept him alive. This is the purpose of returning to my hometown this time!
