The second brigade has a total of 2,600 acres of land, but fortunately, there are many people working.

In the spring ploughing season, regardless of men and women, even schools take advantage of the May Day holiday to be busy with farming, so don't look at the land, the planting is not slow.

Within a few days, a large area of land was planted, and there were some leftovers of land and brains, just leave a few people to harvest them.

After the land in the team is planted, it is the turn of each family to keep their own land.

In contrast, it is more difficult to keep the land for yourself, because you have to use a pickaxe to dig the ground without a plough stick.

The Xu family's half an acre of land took Xu Shiyan more than three days, and it was all planted.

There is no way, a person is plowing the ground and opening ditches, and he is planing and planting, and it is too grinding back and forth.

Millet, millet, and two rows of red beans were planted.

The place is small, you can only plant everything, and you don't have to be embarrassed to eat at home, otherwise there is no place to buy it.

The Xu family's self-reserved land is in Xiaonangou, also south of Fort Mountain, farther than Datian of the Second Brigade, close to Shangen'er.

After finishing his own little work, Xu Shiyan saw that it was still early, so he went into the forest to pick large leaf celery.

At the beginning of spring, every household is short of vegetables to eat, and there is no choice but to go into the mountains to gather wild vegetables.

In early May, it is a good time for all kinds of wild vegetables in the mountains, such as large-leaved celery, swallows, ploughshares, millet seeds, mountain spinach, etc., can be eaten.

Among them, large-leaved celery is the most popular.

Large-leaved celery, also known as mountain celery, is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in clusters with turquoise or purple stems.

The leaves are three obovate compound leaves, the back of the leaves is shiny, with small white flowers, similar to celery flowers, and the large-leaved celery has a very special aroma.

Big-leaf celery can be fried, mixed, and dipped in sauce, and the best thing is to make dumplings.

At the time before Xu Shiyan's rebirth, all kinds of wild vegetables had become pure natural and pollution-free green food.

Every spring, there are piles of wild vegetables sold in the market, and the big-leaf celery costs more than ten yuan a catty.

Even so, there are many people who buy it.

In addition, some people use wild vegetables as a gift for relatives and friends.

At this time of the year, I either buy or go up to the mountains to get some wild vegetables such as large-leaved celery and send them to distant relatives and friends.

At that time, the express delivery industry was developed, and fresh food arrived in two days, and people from afar could also taste the delicious food of the Northeast.

But at the moment, eating wild vegetables is just a helpless choice.

Who let the vegetable garden have nothing but green onions and leeks? What else can you eat without eating wild vegetables?

The dried vegetables dried in autumn have also been eaten, and the potatoes have sprouted for a long time, who dares to eat them?

Pickles all day long, green onions dipped in sauce, no one can stand it, who doesn't have red eyes when they see wild vegetables?

At this time, the wild grass in the forest is growing wildly, and the purple, white, and yellow flowers in the forest are swaying in the wind.

The young leaves of the branches have just spit out new green, not yet fully unfolded, and there are still young shoots with a little yellow background, and they are full of spring breath.

I don't know what kind of bird it is in the forest, but it is chirping in the branches, and the squeaking is quite pleasant.

On the hillside in the distance, the pink reflection of the mountain is just right, bright and moving, bright as clouds.

Xu Shiyan was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so he only lowered his head and looked among the trees.

Sure enough, not far into the forest, there were several large leaf celery in front.

Nowadays, everyone has no choice but to go into the mountains to eat a few handfuls of vegetables at home, and no one points to selling big-leaf celery to make money.

Therefore, the wild vegetables have not been defeated, and they are all very thick.

Waiting for another thirty years, there will be more people picking vegetables on the mountain than vegetables, and the vegetables are almost as thin as the line, all of them are single.

Pull aside the grass around the celery with your hands, then grab the roots, sway it from side to side and pull down vigorously, and a handful of celery is in your hand.

Two or three piers passed, and I couldn't take it in my hand.

Pick up a piece of bark or find a file from the ground, also called elderberry or pencil grass, tie up the large-leaved celery, throw it in the pocket with rice, and continue walking.

Xu Shiyan was walking forward with his head down, and suddenly a big bird flew up from the grass in front of him.

As soon as Xu Shiyan saw the feather, he knew that it was a female pheasant.

Pheasants mostly nest in bushes or grasses, and this is the time when pheasants lay eggs and hatch chicks.

It is estimated that Xu Shiyan came over to pick vegetables and startled the female pheasant in the nest, so he fluttered and flew away.

Xu Shiyan walked quickly to the grass where the pheasant flew, searched carefully, and found a nest.

There were six or seven wild eggs with green shells, a circle smaller than the eggs.

The pheasant has flown away and can't catch it, it's not winter at this time, it's not easy to catch the pheasant, then take the eggs, anyway, the pheasant will lay eggs again.

Xu Shiyan was not polite, and directly picked up the eggs and put them in his pocket.

After picking up seven wild eggs, I walked forward and picked up a few handfuls of large-leaved celery, and the diagonal pocket could not hold anything.

Xu Shiyan had no choice but to walk back, but just a few steps away, he saw a tuft of grass in front of him.

The grass, much like a clover, was much shorter, with a tender red stem that was slightly transparent in the sun.

Three small triangular leaves, a bit like a hoe to shovel the ground.

This kind of grass, their local people call it sour hoe board, the whole plant is edible, the taste is sweet and sour, children like it very much.

Xu Shiyan squatted down, took off the cluster of acid hoe boards, and brought it back to the sixth child to eat.

That girl has loved eating these things since she was a child, and she hasn't changed since she grew up.

After walking a few steps further, he saw a few more clusters, and Xu Shiyan didn't care about them, he took them all off and carefully put them in his pocket.

A trip into the mountain can be regarded as a full harvest, and Xu Shiyan went down the mountain with his bag to go home satisfied.

When Xu Shiyan returned home, he found that Xu Shiqin was also at home, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why did you get off work so early today?" ”

Yavin

Xu Shiyan remembered that it was almost six o'clock when the sixth child went home in the past, but it was just five o'clock, why did he go home?

"Third brother, I've been back at this time for a few days, and the shop is not busy, so the master asked me to go home early.

You've been busy lately late, so I don't know. ”

Xu Shiqin held a small piece of clothing in his hand, and was sewing it stitch by stitch. You don't have to look at it to know that it was made for Xu Haiyuan's little guy.

Su Anying's milk is good, Xu Haiyuan's kid was born fat, and he has grown a lot over the past few days, and the clothes he originally made are small.

When Zhou Guilan and Su Anying were making clothes, they kept their spare heads.

But no one thought that the child would be born so fat, grow so fast, and the clothes were not big enough, so there was no need to wear them at this time.

Xu Shiqin took a torn piece of Su Anying's clothes and cut them to make a set of small clothes for her little nephew.

It happened that the weather was hot, and I couldn't wear the jacket and pants, so I simply made it single.

"I forgot this morning, I knew to take it to the store, there is a sewing machine in the store, and this little thing will be bald in a few clicks."

Xu Shiqin said as she stitched the last few stitches and then bit off the thread.

Xu Shiqin's words reminded Xu Shiyan at once.

"I remember that I had a sewing ticket at home, so I had to buy a sewing machine and come back, so it was convenient to use."

When Xu Shiyan went to give Guo Shouye a gift a year ago, he got a stack of tickets, including a sewing ticket.

At that time, I thought about moving, it was too troublesome to buy, and I was busy moving here, and Su Anying couldn't use it, so I forgot about it.
