Zhujia Village is not very large, from the head of the village to the end of the village, there are only twenty or thirty households, built around the foot of Taidang Mountain.

In addition to this one village, there are several large villages next to it, mainly with the surnames Zhu, Li and Liu. Because it is not from the same ancestor, there is no saying that the same surname does not intermarry, but when looking at each other, you really need to inquire, don't marry to a family tree.

Taidang Mountain is quite large, stretching for more than a dozen villages, except for farming, basically all rely on this mountain to live.

However, because of the large mountain, fierce beasts are easy to emerge in the mountain, and everyone only dares to move under the mountain, and does not dare to go too far inside.

Except for disaster years, basically no one will fight for their lives.

Ye Yuran didn't want to explore, she followed the memory of the original owner and walked towards the familiar path.

"Mother, you see, there are wild fruits there. Li's eyes were sharp, and he saw it immediately.

Ye Yuran glanced at her finger and also saw a square, just behind a bush tree, usually blocked by branches and leaves, so she didn't see it.

At this moment, I don't know why, a gust of wind blew, and the blades of grass shook slightly, until they showed traces.

Ye Yuran: It can't be my golden finger at work, right?

Li picked up a thicker branch, pushed the bushes away, and saw a small low tree crawling with this thumb-sized red fruit.

She picked one off and happily sent it to Ye Yuran: "Mother, look, was it this fruit that you made jam last time?"

"Well, that's it. Ye Yuran searched in the memory of the original owner, but he didn't find the name of this fruit, "I don't know what the name of this fruit is, it's quite delicious to make jam." ”

"Well, this is a little red fruit, that's what we call it over there, but I heard the second sister-in-law say that they seem to call it thumb fruit over there, and Zhujia Village didn't hear anyone call its name, they were all wild fruits and wild fruits, anyway, they were all called casually......" Li said casually, happily picking it into the cloth bag, "Fortunately, I brought the cloth bag today, otherwise this kind of fruit is placed in the back basket and is easy to crush." ”

Lee's cloth pocket is a bit like a "tie", that is, a long strip of cloth with a bag sewn on the front and back, and then put it on the shoulder or around the neck.

When the women here go out, they seem to like to bring such a "hitchhiker", which is basically made of home-made burlap.

is also the original owner, because it is a daughter-in-law bought from other places, and does not know how to make this kind of thing, or after a few daughters-in-law enter the door, there is more such "hitchhiker" in the house, but the original owner is not used to it, so there is no such thing in her room.

After a while, two large bowls were filled in the two cloth bags in front and back, which made Li happy.

"Mother, if we are lucky and find a few more, we will be able to fill it up, and we can make a big pot when we go back. ”

"This kind of thing is easy to break if it is not put away, and it is useless to do too much. Although she didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, Ye Yuran still said it.

Li Shi secretly glanced at her: "Mother, anyway, we have picked everything, let's make a little more when we go back? ”

"Cheng, if you don't dislike the trouble, you can do it yourself, and I will teach you when the time comes. ”

Li immediately laughed again: "Mother, you are so good! I know that you love me the most, don't worry, I will definitely do it myself when I go back, and my mother will teach me how to do it by the side." ”

Just as they were about to leave, Ye Yuran saw that a little farther away, there seemed to be a bird's nest, and she was a little too far away.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and see. ”

"Ah, mother, what are you going to do? don't walk around, this forest is very big, it's easy to get lost if you don't follow the road......"

Ye Yuran approached, stood on tiptoe, and the branches above his head reached down, and sure enough, he saw the shadow of a bird's egg inside, a total of six.

It's just that some are too small, the thumb is a little bigger, and there are so many people in the family, one person is not enough.

"Mother, what were you picking up just now?"

Ye Yuran stretched out her hand to show her.

"Bird eggs?!" Li Shi was surprised, "Mother, you are so good, you found bird eggs so quickly, let me tell you, I have been up the mountain so many times, and I have never found such a thing." ”

Ye Yuran asked her to put it in her cloth pocket and not touch it.

"Mother, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem. Li also salivated and asked, "Mother, can you share a bird's egg with me at night?"

"Bird egg soup at night, one mouthful per person. Ye Yuran said.

"Really?!Great, mother, I thought you would cook it for my little sister, but we couldn't eat it." Hey, hey, hey...... The egg soup is also made, anyway, just take a bite of me. ”

Is it possible to sell you by sharing a bite of your food? Ye Yuran really wanted to ask her this, but considering the image of the original owner, she still kept her mouth shut.

"Mother, there are wild vegetables here. Lee also found some wild vegetables that had been picked and missed.

The shepherd's cabbage grows scattered, but one by one it is quite large, and they are like a ribbon that burrows from the side of the road into the deep forest.

Walking all the way, pulling all the way, Ye Yuran saw that she was pulling wild vegetables with a big belly, and said: "You still stand, look around to see if there are any wild fruits to pick, with such a big belly, it's not easy to dig." ”

"It's okay, mother, people work in the field with a belly bigger than me, what am I, and I occasionally come out to do activities. "Li is not stupid, he is usually lazy, but he doesn't work hard in front of his mother-in-law, so what about looking for a cigarette?

"Then if you don't feel well, get up and walk around, don't squat all the time. ”

"Okay, mother. Li Shi thinks that today's mother-in-law is really not ordinarily good, no wonder this fall has made her mother-in-law better?

If that were the case, she should have let her mother-in-law fall.

Ye Yuran looked up and found that there seemed to be a somewhat familiar plant in the grass not far away, she was a little unsure, but she still walked over.

Li saw her mother-in-law digging something, and was a little curious: "Mother, what are you digging?"

Without tools in his hand, Ye Yuran could only find a wooden stick and pry the soil open by brute force.

Although it was a little laborious, there were some red-skinned shadows inside, that round appearance, although he couldn't see the whole picture, Ye Yuran still recognized it at a glance - what is it not a sweet potato?

Although it was a little different from the one she bought in the supermarket, she had seen the sweet potatoes with mud in the countryside, and it was like this, but it was bigger than this.

"I saw a small animal gnawing on this last time, and I thought, if animals can eat it, can we eat it too?"

Li was a little confused: "Mother, are you hungry and stupid? How can we eat animals that eat? If that's the case, wouldn't we all be able to eat pigweed?"

"Aren't we okay to eat some things that feed pigs?" Ye Yuran retorted to her.

"But that's because pigs can eat what we eat. ”

"Then how do you know that we humans can't eat what pigs can eat?"

Li was dumbfounded by her question.
