Chapter 16: Pheasant
After going down the mountain, Yu Qing's two families went home separately.
In the afternoon, he asked for leave and did not go to work, Xu Xiaoyi saw that there was not much water in the tank, so he went to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.
Xu Xiaoren looked at the house and saw that there was not much firewood at home, so he picked up an axe and hugged a bunch of wooden sticks and began to chop firewood.
Zhang Guihua squatted in the yard, thinking of the bitter vegetables in the morning, she swallowed her saliva: "Mom, let's go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables now, anyway, we are idle at home and have nothing to do." β
Yu Qing was also idle, thinking of her empty pocket, she nodded and got up.
"Mom, I'm going too, I'm going to walk around the mountains and see if I can catch pheasants." Xu Xiaoming followed up and said that in the past, he often followed his father to the mountains to hunt and improve the food for the family.
Now that his father is gone, then this responsibility should come to him.
Yu Qing has no opinion, anyway, just don't delay her digging wild vegetables: "Okay, the third child will follow along, the second daughter-in-law, you can rest at home, it's inconvenient to go up the mountain with a big belly." β
Zhang Guihua is now pregnant, and she will give birth in three or four months, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so it is not a trivial matter if she falls.
Yu Qing didn't want to go, but she had to take care of her.
When Zhang Guihua heard that her mother-in-law didn't let her go, she was immediately overjoyed: "Mom, you didn't let me go, so can't you dig up this wild vegetable and give it to me." β
Yu Qing rolled her eyes when she heard this, nodded, and took Li Mei, her third son, little daughter and granddaughter up the mountain.
At this point in time, everyone was working in the fields, and they walked all the way to the mountains, and they didn't meet a single figure.
When he arrived at the mountain, Xu Xiaoming looked at Yu Qing and said, "Mom, I'll go see if there are any pheasants around here." β
Yu Qing answered, and began to look for wild vegetables around.
There are a lot of wild vegetables on the mountains of Xujiawan, mainly this thing is not delicious for the villagers, in this era, everyone basically does not put oil in cooking, this is no oil, the taste of wild vegetables is very unpalatable.
[Found wild bitter herbs, twenty meters away from the host.] γ
Yu Qing heard the sound of instructions and followed, and after walking twenty meters, she saw a large pile of bitter herbs.
Xu Xuehua followed Yu Qing, and when she saw this pile of bitter vegetables, she was overjoyed, and immediately ran over: "Mom, there are a lot of bitter vegetables here." β
Li Mei and Lotus Ye walked behind them, and they were also happy when they saw this pile: "Mom, you are so good, you can find so many wild vegetables at once." β
Lotus Ye is also full of admiration, her milk is amazing, and she can find a lot of them every time.
Yu Qing didn't think so, if there was no system, she wouldn't be so powerful: "Okay, hurry up and dig wild vegetables." β
As soon as Yu Qing spoke, Li Mei and the others immediately squatted down and began to dig up this pile of bitter vegetables.
Seeing that they began to dig wild vegetables, Yu Qing carried the basket on her back and said, "You guys are digging here, I'll go to other places to take a look." β
Li Mei listened to her mother-in-law's words and responded: "Okay." β
Yu Qing turned around and left.
With so many people, she couldn't secretly dig up wild vegetables and sell them.
After separating from Li Mei and the others, Yu Qing took the shovel and was full of energy under the prompting of the system.
γFound wild shepherd's cabbage.γ γ
γFound wild shepherd's cabbage.γ γ
[Found wild bitter herbs, ten meters away from the host.] γ
[Discover new wild vegetables, gray cabbage, two two one points. γ
As the mechanical sound sounded, Yu Qing's face was excited, humming a little song and digging wild vegetables.
The original remaining seventy points, as the afternoon walked, the points grew, from seventy to one hundred and thirty-eight points.
On the way, Yu Qing also picked up a few wild eggs, but she couldn't see the pheasants.
"Mom, Mom, let's eat pheasant meat at night, my third brother shot a pheasant." Xu Xuehua shouted loudly on the mountain.
Yu Qing immediately responded when she heard the voice, and then walked towards Xu Xuehua and the others with the basket on her back.
When Xu Xiaoming saw his mother, he looked a little proud, and immediately carried a hen to invite credit: "Mom, this is the pheasant I caught, let's eat it tonight, right?" β
"Okay, let's eat stewed pheasant soup tonight." Yu Qing agreed.
At this time, Xu Xuehua's eyes lit up: "Mom, can you really eat pheasant?" β
Xu Xiaoming was also excited, according to his previous experience, he would definitely have to take it to the town to change clothes if he got pheasant meat.
"Mom, can we really eat pheasant?" Xu Xiaoming's face was looking forward to it.
Lotus Ye raised her head and looked at her with bright eyes: "Grandma, can I eat broth at night?" β
Yu Qing promised: "If you can eat meat, let's go home now, and then grandma will make meat for you." β
As soon as these words came out, several small ones were all beautiful.
One by one, they ran down the mountain excitedly.
Li Mei saw her mother-in-law carrying the basket on her back, and hurriedly reached out to help Yu Qing carry it.
Yu Qing was embarrassed to let her carry two, so she quickly refused, and then walked down the mountain.
Li Mei saw her mother-in-law gone, and hurriedly walked over, looking at her mother-in-law's back, Li Mei felt that her mother-in-law had changed and become better.
Not only did she save the malt milk essence for her son to eat, but now she also feels sorry for her and doesn't let her carry the basket, her mother-in-law is so good.
Yu Qing walked in front of her, turned her head to look at Li Mei, and was startled by Li Mei's teary eyes.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Yu Qing slipped on the soles of her feet and asked staggeringly.
Li Mei stretched out her hand and immediately helped Yu Qing, and then slowly opened her mouth: "Mom, you are so good." β
Yu Qing was dumbfounded, what does this mean.
Li Mei continued: "Mom, I will always remember your kindness to me, you can rest assured that Xiaoyi and I will definitely work hard in the future, and I will also strive to honor you with full centimeters." β
Yu Qing was even more stunned, this eldest daughter-in-law didn't have some serious illness, she didn't do anything.
Li Mei didn't know that her mother-in-law had taken her for a psychopath.
At the bottom of the mountain, the villagers who were working in the fields happened to have also finished their work.
Yu Qing had just walked a few steps when she saw a girl walking towards her, her eyes fixed on her.
The girl had two braids, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and she looked different from the people in the village, white and clean, and looked handsome and tight.
"Auntie." Xu Xiulan saw Yu Qing say hello.
Before she could talk more, she was pulled away by Sun Hong, the daughter-in-law of the captain.
"You dead girl, you hurry up and clear my heart, now that Xiaoren is married, he is with everyone else behind your back, why don't you know to wake up.
What is so good about such a man, let you keep thinking, can you have some ambition, you are going to be angry with me. Sun Hong felt uncomfortable when she saw that her daughter was very depressed all day long.
Then Xu Xiaoren is not a good thing, when he was with her daughter, the two of them got along well, and they married Zhang Guihua when they turned around.
I'm really angry with her.
"Tell me about you, this girl, what a smart person, why do you make friends and lack hearts, one is your object, the other is your good friend, the two of you are together under your nose, alas." The more Sun Hong talked, the more angry he became.
Xu Xiulan's eyes were red, and her heart was a little painful: "Mom, don't say it, I will forget Brother Xiaoren in the future." β
She and Xu Xiaoren grew up together, they can be described as childhood sweethearts, and the two like each other and secretly deal with each other.
When Sun Hong knew, she didn't support her daughter and Xu Xiaoren being together, Xu Xiaoren's mother Yu Qing was a person who couldn't live, and she was very selfish and scoundrel.
Xu Chengyan can hunt, and occasionally go to the mountains to hunt to subsidize his family.
The sons of the family are also capable, and they get a full-time job every day, and it stands to reason that their family should be one of the best in the village.
But Yu Qing is a person who loves to dress up, is greedy, wears flowers and branches all day long, and exchanges food for food.
