Chapter 4: Wild Fruits

Luo Manjing didn't respond when she heard this, because she knew that even if her grandfather talked to the eldest aunt and the second uncle, they would definitely not change anything, so she didn't report any hope at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cattail didn't have so many ideas, she walked ahead happily, then turned to look at her sister and grandfather, and said crisply: "Grandpa, sister, hurry up." ”

Luo Manjing saw the cattail's happy appearance, so she burst into a smile and trotted up, "Cattail, you walk slowly, it's not good if you fall." ”

Luo Xiangpu walked on her little short legs and said happily: "Sister, this road is not steep, how can I fall, not to mention that we often come here, I am already familiar with it." ”

Luo Manjing stopped talking.

She had forgotten that when they were young, they did often come to the back mountains, either to collect some firewood or wild fruits, so the road was really familiar.

It's just that since she left this small mountain village, she hasn't come back for many years, and this mountain road has naturally become a little unfamiliar.

Now that I am stepping on this mountain path again, I can't tell you how much emotion I can't put into words.

Luo Yougen looked at the two little granddaughters jumping up and down in the back, and finally had a smile on his face, he always felt that what he owed was cranberry and cattail, but it was a pity that his wife had never waited to see the two of them, and he always felt that their mother disappeared inexplicably, and it was a little unlucky.

And his youngest son Luo Jianye didn't go home because of this incident, so he was afraid of touching the scene and thinking of his missing wife.

For Luo Jianye, they love each other very much, but now they can't see their son all year round, so the old woman feels more and more that these two granddaughters are an eyesore.

Every time he thought of this, Luo Yougen couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, the most bitter are these two children.

My mother is gone, my father doesn't come back all year round, and he hardly sees each other, and he is busy doing all the chores for the family every day at home.

It's a pity that he himself is a little powerless, after all, they live together as a family, and his remarks alone don't play much role, in fact, he is also to blame, he handed over all the money to the old woman to manage, so in the end, the old woman is the master of the house, and his words are no longer useful.

Luo Manjing naturally didn't know that her grandfather Luo Yougen had thought so much, she held the cattail's little hand and walked happily on the mountain trail, this kind of life has been something she hasn't experienced for a long time, and now she does it again, she only feels that the years are quiet and the present world is stable.

She was very glad that she was back, and this time she must change the fate of her sister, and also change her tragic fate.

"Sister, look, there seem to be plums there, let's go and have a look." Cattail happily pointed to the front right.

Luo Manjing looked in the direction she pointed and found that there was indeed a plum tree, only to see red wild plums hanging on the tree.

"Our cattails are so amazing, I saw the plums all of a sudden, let's go, let's go over and pick them." Luo Manjing is also very happy, you must know that in this era of material scarcity, it is already very good to have these wild fruits to eat.

Luo Yougen looked at the direction the sisters were walking, and his face was full of smiles, "You two slow down, wait for grandpa, I'll pick with you." As he spoke, he hurried up.

It's just that there aren't many plums on this plum tree, and it's estimated that they've been picked several times.

But Cattail is still very happy, usually she and her sister can only eat some porridge and leftovers, even the wild fruits they picked before were taken away by their grandmother to their cousins and cousins, obviously they picked them, but they didn't have their share, but she still likes to go up the mountain with her sister, so they can pick wild fruits and eat one or two secretly.

Luo Manjing looked at her sister's happy appearance, and hurriedly picked out the largest and reddest plum, wiped it with the hem of her clothes, and handed it to the cattail and said, "Cattail, try it quickly and see if it tastes good." ”

Luo Xiangpu smelled the faint fruity aroma, and couldn't help but take a bite temptingly, "Sister, this plum is so delicious, sour and sweet, you should also taste it quickly." As he spoke, he also picked one and handed it to Luo Manjing.

Luo Manjing took it with a smile, and picked one of the cattails and handed it to Luo Yougen, "Grandpa, you can taste it too." ”

Luo Yougen looked at the innocent and lively appearance of the little cattail, and happily took the plum, "Okay, grandpa also taste it, come, let's eat and walk." ”

"Okay, let's go ahead, I remember there is an apricot tree in front of me, and I don't know if there is any fruit left." Today, as soon as I arrived in the mountains, I picked wild fruits, so the cattails were in high spirits.

Luo Manjing had actually forgotten what was on this mountain, so she followed directly behind Cattail and walked forward.

Sure enough, they hadn't walked long before they saw an apricot tree, but unfortunately there were only a few apricots on the tree, and it seemed that the fruit on the tree had already been harvested.

There is no way, there is really not much to eat in these days, so these wild fruit trees on the mountain, as long as there are wild fruits, they will be picked by people, and they are already very lucky to be able to pick plums before.

Cattail's mood was a little depressed, "I didn't expect it to have been picked, and the last time we came, there were still a lot of green fruits." ”

Luo Manjing gently rubbed her little head and said, "Look, we have already picked plums, which means that our luck is already very good, let's go ahead and take a look, maybe we can pick up wild eggs." She remembered that there were a lot of pheasants in the mountains, so there must have been a lot of wild eggs.

Cattail's mood improved a little, "Sister, then let's move on." ”

Luo Yougen also carried a basket today, and when he saw the two sisters walking with a smile, he said directly with confidence: "You two sisters take a look at yourself, and I'll cut some pigweed here and go back." ”

Luo Manjing nodded directly and said to him: "Okay grandpa, you cut here for a while, and I and Cattail will go to the front to take a look, if there is no harvest, we will come over again to help cut the pigweed." ”

Luo Yougen waved his hand and said, "No need, you two sisters just go to the front and take a good look, I can finish cutting this pigweed alone." ”

Cattail ran over with her little short legs, "Grandpa, my sister and I will come over to help later, so you cut it slowly first." ”

Looking at such a sensible sister, Luo Manjing's face was full of relief, but this year's sister is already ten years old, but unfortunately she has been malnourished, so cattails look like a seven or eight-year-old child, so she also very much hopes that she can gain something today.
