Chapter 16: Meeting
Unexpectedly, Komatsu was taken aback, and his head shook like a rattle.
Zhang Sijiu smiled: "If you don't take me, I'll tell the second aunt." ”
Komatsu's eyes widened: I never expected you to be such a big sister!
But Xiao Song still shook his head in horror: "Eldest sister, they are all male babies, and female babies can't go." ”
Zhang Sijiu raised his eyebrows: Oh?
Xiaobai whispered: "They all go down to the river bare-butt!" ”
Zhang Sijiu: ......
She squinted at Xiao Song: "Let's not talk about you first, Xiao Song is still so young, you let him go down to the river too?" ”
Children who grow up by the river will naturally be able to water. They have less reverence for water.
As the saying goes, those who drown know how to water.
Xiao Song hurriedly shook his head: "No! I don't dare! He guards his clothes on the shore! If he dares to go into the water, I'll beat him! ”
Xiaobai covered his buttocks and said resolutely: "Don't go into the water!" ”
Zhang Sijiu looked at the two brothers: ...... Komatsu, have you ever thought that you shouldn't go into the water either?
She thought about it for a moment and decided to look at the two brothers, "Don't go to play in the water in the future." The fish can't be touched, it's tanned, so it's better to follow me to find a way to make money. ”
Xiao Song obviously knew the situation at home, and became interested: "Sister, do you have a way to make money?" ”
Xiaobai also looked at Zhang Sijiu with round eyes.
Zhang Sijiu looked at the rain curtain and really had an idea in his heart: "After the rain, there are fungi in the bamboo forest, let's wait for the rain to stop and go to see if the fungi are raised. ”
There are no bacteria in the county. This kind of seasonal fresh food, there will always be someone to buy it.
Komatsu was a little disappointed: "Fungi? I guess no one buys it. Every family has it. And it's not uncommon. ”
Zhang Sijiu pinched his cheek: "Even if you buy a copper coin, it's money." Do you understand how much you know? ”
Otherwise, you can add a dish to your home! Mushrooms are rich in amino acids and are also a rare delicacy! It's much stronger than vegetable leaves!
Xiaobai was the first to be persuaded: "A copper coin is also money!" ”
In addition to mushrooms, there are also fungus.
Almost every household here raises spring silkworms, although the silkworms have been cocooned and harvested this season, but the mulberry tree is still lush as a companion of silkworm raising.
When Zhang Sijiu was mowing the grass at the edge of the field, he saw dried fungus on the mulberry tree.
The fungus is also a good thing, and it can be stored and eaten in the winter after it is dried. It can also be eaten freshly blanched and stir-fried.
Zhang Sijiu can only think of these two things at present.
Now that I know it, I have already finished molting, and there is no place for the cicadas to pick it up.
Even silkworm sand, every household is now dried and sold out.
Not to mention herbs. All the precious points and valuable points have long been dug up.
If you take the road of traditional Chinese medicine, it will not work.
Those stories that can easily make a fortune by crossing over are really just stories.
In fact, in order to support their families, the aborigines did not let go of any place where they could make money.
However, maybe after exchanging information with Yang Yuanding, the situation will be much better. His family is better, and he probably can learn more about contemporary times.
Tomorrow is the time to meet Yang Yuanding, and I don't know if the rain will stop at that time.
The rain ended up raining all day.
It didn't stop until the second half of the night.
When Zhang Sijiu woke up the next morning, the eaves were still dripping.
However, the air is really fresh. The smell of grass and trees is also strong. Take a deep breath and feel your heart clear.
It's still a little cloudy, but there's already a clear upset.
Zhang Sijiu picked up the basket and went out to mow the grass.
The family's inventory is about to run out, and if you don't go out to mow the grass anymore, the chickens, ducks and pigs at home will have nothing to eat.
But before he reached the door, Zhaoyin had already shouted outside the door: "Jiu Niang!" Jiuniang! Did you get up? Mow the lawn! ”
Zhang Sijiu answered, and then opened the door and went out.
Komatsu Xiaobai is still snooze, and she didn't call them.
The road outside became a little muddy because of the rain, and even accumulated small puddles, Zhang Sijiu and Zhaoyin carefully avoided the muddy places all the way and walked towards the river.
The grass by the river has grown a lot taller. It's wet, a handful of water.
Put it in a back basket, carry it on your back, and your clothes will get wet.
Zhaoyin skillfully pinched a few taro leaves, padd the side of the back basket against the back and carried water under the back basket, so as to avoid this problem.
Zhang Sijiu watched from the side, and suddenly admired: The wisdom of the working people is really ingenious.
She praised CMB: "CMB, you are so smart. ”
CMB "hehe" smiled: "I don't have to change my clothes when they get wet, so I have to find a way." But you remember, when picking taro leaves, only pick the old ones, and don't pick the young leaves, otherwise you will be scolded. ”
Zhang Sijiu nodded.
After mowing the grass, Zhang Sijiu noticed a lot of things washed up on the riverbank.
There were tattered wood, swollen chickens and ducks, and even dead fish.
Zhang Sijiu suddenly came to his senses: "Zhaoyin, let's go out again in a while and go to the river to pick up some wood." Let's see if there are any snails or something. ”
Zhaoyin didn't look down on the bit of wood: "These can't be burned for long." As for the snails, there won't be many of them here, but there are only a lot of them in the ditch. But you can't eat it, so there's no need to pick it up. ”
"It won't take long to burn." In harsh living conditions, stockpiling supplies is a must. Zhang Sijiu does not dislike it.
As for the snails, Zhang Sijiu planned to feed the chickens and ducks. That's how they lay more eggs!
And, most crucially, she was waiting by the river this morning.
How good is it that there is no delay between the two?
Zhaoyin hesitated: "Then I'll ask my mother." She didn't even let me out. ”
Zhang Sijiu nodded, not reluctantly.
In the end, CMB failed to come out again, but Zhang Sijiu brought Komatsu and Kobai.
Xiao Song Xiaobai was very excited, and his posture was like going to the river to hunt for treasure, which gave Zhang Sijiu the illusion that these were two wild horses that had taken off the leash.
Xu didn't stop it, because he had to hold the little pumpkin to feed, and he didn't have the time to take care of his two sons.
After a few days of milk, the little pumpkin has obviously begun to grow meat, the wrinkled skin is stretched out, revealing ruddy and fair, and when the eyes are opened, they are round like two black grapes. It's so good-looking that Qiao Niang can't help but dislike her iron eggs: "It's black and ugly!" ”
Xu also loves it very much, and is even more reluctant to delay the opportunity to milk a little pumpkin - Qiao Niang is barely able to milk two children now, but in two months, it may not be okay.
Now the little pumpkin eats more bites, grows stronger, and will be able to survive more when we are weaned and eat rice cereal in the future.
Zhang Sijiu took his two cousins all the way to the edge of the river.
The river beach is already bustling with activity.
There were still rotten trees floating on the river, and the men rowed boats to catch them.
There are also those who want to enter the county seat, and they are also waiting on the shore to take a boat.
Xiao Song looked at the people who were fishing for wood on the river, and he was ambitious: "In the future, when I grow up, I will also drive a boat to fish for big wood!" ”
Zhang Sijiu didn't laugh at him: "Okay, but now let's pick up a little branch." Go ahead, you're a man in the family, don't be lazy. ”
Calling for child labor or something, Zhang Sijiu has no psychological burden at all: he is also a child labor now!
For a good life, every family member must work hard and fight for it all their lives!
