Zhou Jiao's mood was very heavy. Seeing that it was approaching dark, Zhang Guoqing had not yet been seen. She secretly blamed her family for preparing too little dry food. I don't know if there is any medicine for the wound.

Staying for another night, she planned to find Zhao Dashan to lead the militia up the mountain. Although she knew that Zhang Guoqing was good at hunting, she was afraid that others would drag her feet.

As soon as Zhang Guoqing entered the courtyard, he shouted to his mother. As soon as he saw Zhang's mother, he smiled and winked.

Zhang's mother came to her senses, first pulled her two sons to take a closer look, and learned that except for a few other villages, there were a few external injuries, and all of them came back intact.

She was so happy that she hurriedly took her two daughters-in-law back to the kitchen to add vegetables. As for why the dish is added? Her old son winked at her and pinched her palm.

Zhang Guoqing pulled his eldest brother into the outer living room together, saw Zhou Jiao at the door, hurriedly looked behind him, gestured with his fingers, and the three of them immediately went in and closed the door.

Zhou Jiao looked at the two and asked them curiously, "What?" Got ginseng? Or find the baby? ”

Zhang Guoqing and the two brothers covered their mouths and laughed loudly. Before they could put down the basket they were carrying, the two of them pulled out a ball of things from their chests. No way, no one dares to put it in the basket. Especially Zhang Guoqing's basket, the little dry food that was scraped in the end is gone. Who made Zhou Jiao prepare richly. Fortunately, it's winter, so be careful that others can't see it.

Zhou Jiao looked at the two clumps of leaves bandaged things. After reaching out to untie it, he immediately understood that these two people had run deep into the mountains.

"I don't need to say that these two big ginsengs have been around for hundreds of years. The small one is fifty years old, and there are more than thirty years of roots. This purple lingzhi is relatively rare, and I am afraid that I can't estimate the age of this one, at least fifty years. The value is higher than this red reishi, and the age of the red reishi is about the same, not more than sixty years. Don't sell the remaining Xiaoduo's Ganoderma lucidum, soak in wine and drink it yourself. When sold, ginseng is more expensive than reishi. It's best to show it to Aunt Ye. ”

Zhang Guoqing packed the boss and handed it to him, asking him to hide it first. Let Zhou Jiao put the rest in the house and keep it for a look. Zhou Jiao nodded, picked it up and went back to the room and put it into the space.

"Big brother, yours are all sold. Even if I need it in the future, I still have it. Daddy's hundred-year-old ginseng is still half of it. It's useless to keep it. You discuss it with your sister-in-law, if you want to sell it, let's go to the county seat as soon as possible to find someone to see how much it is worth? If the price is right, it will be sold, and if it is not suitable, it will be sold in the provincial capital in the next two days. ”

Zhang Guofu shook his head, "You don't need to discuss it with her." When my father comes back, show him and we'll go to the county seat. ”

After the two discussed, Zhang Guofu went back to his house first.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly took the clothes handed to him by Zhou Jiao. Run to the shower. I feel like I'm getting bad every day for the past two days. Running the mountains to hunt prey is all sweat. The first day was okay, he was able to take off his coat. The next morning, I made an excuse to find a place. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and he took his eldest brother and the two of them to the first line of the sky. I finally found it and hurried back. There were things on their bodies, and neither of the two brothers dared to take off their coats. If Uncle Zhang doesn't come back today, he will also find an excuse to run home.

Zhang Guoqing took a bath and thought about it. To be a thief is really weak-hearted.

Zhou Jiao took advantage of no one and closed the door of the inner room. took out the purple lingzhi, she really hadn't seen what she had just picked. Think about the two brothers carrying this thing in their arms, and they are afraid that others will find out and crush it. It must have been a comedic picture. See that the time is about the same, and put it back into space. I took the child back to the outer room and waited for him to come back.

"Jiaojiao, I'll take you up the mountain in a few days. I don't know a lot of herbs, and they look the same as grass. And let's not buy meat, it's a waste of it. I'll call you to collect it, and I guess it won't take much time to make us use it for a few years. I am still the main force in this hunting, and I have fought a lot, and I estimate that I have a lot of points. The blind bear asked me for a bear's paw, and I kept this for you to eat. I didn't ask for anything else. Wait until we go up the mountain to fight ourselves. ”

"Okay, you can watch. Don't change the subject now. Didn't you team up with someone else? How did you get out? Don't tell me about these herbs, they are not from the mountains. ”

Zhang Guoqing picked her up and sat on his lap, and smiled, "It's not a deep mountain." If it's dangerous, will I take my big brother there? Rest assured, I promise you safety first, absolutely do. Early this morning, I saw that many people were too tired to do anything, so I told the old hunter to take my eldest brother to see the front first. Let them come up late. As soon as my two brothers left, we ran as fast as we could, and I knew the main road very well. If there was any danger, it would have been gone.

I've always wanted to find a chance to go up and see if it's Ganoderma lucidum, didn't I climb a tree in the past? I saw that there seemed to be medicinal herbs under the hillside, and if I had a chance, I took my eldest brother to take a look. The two flipped through for a while, and the eldest brother found that there was ginseng. We took it and hid it in our chests, and we ran to the front and waited for them. In order not to be suspicious, I also shot a wild boar. Do you know how to eat that purple reishi? Do you want me to inquire? ”

Zhou Jiao shook her head, "No." I'll take care of it. Put it first. I'm not in a hurry to eat now. Wait for peace in the future. Let's stew porridge as a family and drink it, this thing is effective for long-term use. Ginseng, you take it to Grandpa Wang and ask him to help soak the wine, he should have a secret method. The longer this wine lasts, the better. ”

"Okay, last time he said that there will be 100-year-old ginseng not to sell in the future, help me soak the wine. I'll look for him when I get back to the county. Your almighty space can't hold wine. Haha, if you put it in and take it out, it's still exactly the same. It's really fun. ”

Zhou Jiao heard footsteps and hurriedly got off his lap.

After a while, Zhang's mother came in with a confinement meal and asked Zhou Jiao to eat first. Pulling Zhang Guoqing to run inside, he was overjoyed when he learned that the two brothers had such a big harvest. Don't make a big deal. After repeated instructions, he urged Zhang Guoqing and the two brothers to go over and bring back wild things.

Zhang Guoqing went out of the room and walked out of the courtyard with his eldest brother. If there is no accident, it should be in the drying field. The two of them muttered all the way, laughing from time to time. After the villagers who passed by said hello, they couldn't help but look back. sighed again and again that the relationship between the Zhang brothers was really good.

In the drying field, Dad Zhang repeatedly rejected the kindness of the old captain. Since everyone went up the mountain together, it didn't make sense that his little five could get an extra share. For the sake of this thing, their young couple is not willing to make people blush and waste their favor in vain.

The old captain and Accountant Zhang looked at each other and knew it in their hearts. Even if Zhang Guoqing decides for himself, he will refuse. After thinking about it, when the men were all clean, cut the bones, and cleaned the meat, they began to weigh the total number with a scale. Except for the rewards for those who participate in the hunt, the rest are based on the head.

As soon as Accountant Zhang saw Zhang Guoqing coming, he hurriedly beckoned, called him, and explained the situation to him, and sure enough, he refused. Burst out laughing.

The whole village was busy burying pots and lighting fires in the drying field, and the women's director directed the women of the village to stew bones and stewed meat. The meat had not yet been divided, and the smell had already spread, causing the children of all sizes in the village to happily wander around a few stoves.

As it gets late, the men light bonfires around several corners. The fiery heat dispelled the cold, and the nearby families moved out of their tables and stools. The people who came back with the meat they had received were also out to help. Uncle Captain had already asked people to prepare drinks.

Zhang Guoqing carried the bamboo basket and walked home quickly, as soon as he got to the kitchen and put it away, he didn't have time to say a few words, he went all the way back to the bedroom and saw Zhou Jiao feeding his son. suddenly thought that she was still out, and there was really no one to take care of her son.

"What's wrong? In a hurry? ”

"Alas...... It's a pity. I was going to take you to see the bonfires in the village. When I saw my son, I remembered that there was no one to take care of my son. Mother, they're ready to go. Now there is no one in the whole village, and they are all gathered in the drying field. Very lively. The village was full of joy. It's been two years since it's been so lively. Only we, Zhangjia Village, are the only villages around here that will celebrate with the whole village. Maybe it's the last hunting dinner. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled and pushed him, "You go." I don't like to be too noisy. Just to accompany my son. Come back and tell me the same thing. ”

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and didn't say anything more about the topic. No matter where you are, if you don't have her by your side, no matter how lively you are, you won't feel joy. took off her shoes and leaned on the kang, watching her feed her son, holding her son and singing a song, Zhang Guoqing smiled. Listen to the song and sing along loudly.

made Zhou Jiao laugh. As soon as the interest came, they ran to the kang with their son in their arms, and the two of them took turns singing no matter what song. The singing and laughter surprised Zhang's mother, who came in to take care of her grandson, and laughed along.

"Hurry up, Xiao Wu will take Jiaojiao over. Uncle Captain asked the two of you to go over and join in the fun. Peace be handed over to me. My mother just ate it. Hurry up. ”

Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao, and immediately pulled her up, "Put on your sheepskin jacket." Let's go over and take a look and come back to accompany my mother, you can't bear it after staying for a long time. ”

Mother Zhang watched the little couple run out neatly dressed, and immediately shook her head and laughed.

Walking on the dirt road, Zhang Guoqing hugged Zhou Jiao and slowly slowed down, the drying field was lively in the distance, and the sound was heard from afar. The closer I got to see that on the mound where the old captain usually stood at the front of the drying field, there were two villagers playing two-person turns. I also saw someone holding an erhu audition, which was as lively as the New Year.

Zhang Guoqing mischievously came up with an idea with Zhou Jiao. watched Zhou Jiao take out two bundles of firecrackers from her coat, took over the hand, pulled her to the back of the mound of soil in the drying field, lit the firecrackers and pulled her away.

Suddenly, there was a crackling and crackling sound, one after another, resounding through the sky, which was deafening. Everyone is still curious about where the sound of firecrackers came from? The children all ran behind the mound, hoping to pick up the ones that didn't explode and play with them.

Zhang Guoqing took another set of firecrackers from Zhou Jiao, took her hand and walked to the captain's uncle's table.

The table near saw them coming, and there was something they didn't understand. Looking at the firecrackers in Zhang Guoqing's hand, they all laughed.

Zhang Guoqing put the firecrackers on the table, looked at the elders on the table, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's very lively." Add some joy. I'll fight again later. ”

The old captain stood up and pulled them by the way, insisting that they sit down.

Zhou Jiao saw that Huang Cuilan and the others were already waving, and hurriedly said, "Third grandfather, this position is not for his juniors to sit down." Let Xiao Wu pour wine for you elders, and don't let him sit down. You drink slowly. I'll run to my sister-in-law first. ”

The old captain watched her finish speaking, ran away like a rabbit, and laughed, "Xiao Wu, listen to your little daughter-in-law, pour wine for us old guys." ”

Zhou Jiao ran to sit down next to Huang Cuilan, and joked in front of a large table of women, always happy. After a while, I mingled with everyone.

Listen to the jokes and watch the performances on the mound opposite. Zhou Jiao thought that she would remember this group of lovely villagers for the rest of her life. Life has given them hardship, but they have been believing in a better tomorrow with blood and sweat, and they are full of hope for life.
