Wei Lan rolled her eyes angrily, "You still ask?"

Jiang Lihua pursed her mouth, and she still couldn't hide her envy on her face, "If you want me to say, Gu Chao is definitely true love for you." ”

She pushed Wei Lan and continued: "If you don't say more, let's just say two yuan!" Looking at the whole brigade, which man is willing to buy a pair of shoes for two yuan for his mother-in-law? ”

"Live your own life, what do you compare to others?" Wei Lan's eyebrows raised slightly, and when she saw the two people approaching, she suddenly bent her eyes and said with a smile: "Maybe, there is a second person who loves his daughter-in-law?" Yes, Comrade Li Jiandang. ”

Wei Lan said earlier, Jiang Lihua was still a little confused, and when she heard Li Jiandang's name later, Jiang Lihua looked up in amazement, and looked straight at Li Jiandang behind Li Sangsang.

As soon as Li Jiandang came over, he didn't hear what they were saying at all, his eyes fell on Jiang Lihua, nodded instinctively, and answered "yes".

Jiang Lihua's face was flushed, her eyes turned to the side, and she didn't know what to say.

"What do you say? Why can't I understand? Li Sangsang tilted his head and glanced at a few people.

Li Sangsang came with Li Jiandang, and he didn't hear the content of Wei Lan's conversation.

Jiang Lihua blushed and didn't speak, Wei Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled and revealed the topic: "It's nothing." ”

Li Sangsang really didn't pursue it, stepped forward and opened his bow left and right, holding a person's arm with one hand, and took Wei Lan and Jiang Lihua forward, "Then let's go!" Looking at the rain today, hurry up and go back early! ”

"Your brother?" Wei Lan glanced back, and Li Jiandang followed closely behind with a bamboo basket on his back.

Li Sangsang explained: "My father said that he was afraid that the three of us girls would be in danger, so let my brother follow to protect him!" ”

"Oh, that's it!" Wei Lan's lips hooked up and she replied shallowly, and her eyes swept Jiang Lihua's eyes.

Poor Jiang Lihua, when she was usually the only one who was full of vigor and shame on others, she was blushing today.

After chatting with Wei Lan about two irrelevant gossip, Li Sangsang finally noticed the abnormal Jiang Lihua beside him.

Li Sangsang leaned forward and stretched his neck to look at Jiang Lihua, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Jiang Lihua: ......

Speak? What can she say?

It was not easy for her and Li Jiandang to be revealed, what if Wei Lan turned the topic to her again as soon as she opened her mouth?

Jiang Lihua was speechless for a while, suddenly looked ahead, pointed to the hillside in the distance and said: "Look, it's all foggy, maybe there will be heavy rain at noon!" Let's hurry! ”

After that, he broke free from Li Sangsang's arm and ran away.

"Huh! Huh! Li Sangsang raised her eyebrows and said a few times, but when Jiang Lihua stopped, she looked sideways at Wei Lan, "I think what Jiang Zhiqing said makes sense, so let's?" ”

Wei Lan nodded.

So, the three girls ran up the hillside path, and the big man Li Jiandang followed behind.

As long as the temperature is right, the shadow of mushrooms can be found all year round.

The sun was shining a few days ago, the ground was moist, and the area of dead wood and rotting grass was very suitable for mushroom growth.

Wei Lan casually pulled a wooden stick and pinched it in his hand, pushed aside a few withered yellow weeds, and really found a chicken fir.

Chicken fir is commonly found on the ground in coniferous and broad-leaved forests, or connected to termite nests, and there are stable ecological conditions in the nests, which are suitable for termites and chicken fungi to coexist.

The tea mountain bag is all laterite and hemp stone, and the soil quality is not particularly good, Wei Lan basically determined that there is a termite nest under this chicken fir.

This chicken fir is about eight to ten centimeters high, the top is dusty, and the mushroom umbrella has not been opened, which should be due to the rain yesterday and the temperature suddenly dropped again.

The chicken fir mushroom meat is thick and fat, the quality is fine and white, when the umbrella is not opened, the taste is fresh and sweet and crispy, and it is rich in a variety of trace elements such as protein and fat necessary for the human body, and has the title of the crown of the fungus.

It is a rare boutique, and the plant in front of me is still a pure natural growth.

Wei Lan was overjoyed, squatted down through the grass, used his hands and wooden sticks together, and dug along the edge of the mushroom rhizome.

Termite nests are usually 20 centimeters underground, and as long as termites do not move, they can still have new firs after a while.

Afraid of alarming the termite nest, Wei Lan didn't dig deeply, Mo Yue dug seven or eight centimeters, then broke the chicken fir halfway and filled the dug soil back in.

Li Sangsang found a large patch of straw mushrooms nearby, mostly the size of his thumb, and it was not easy to pick the finger length from it.

Li Sangsang worked hard for a while, looked up and saw that Wei Lan's face and hands were covered with red mud, and he was startled: "What are you doing?" Fell? ”

"Nope!" Wei Lan raised the chicken fir in his hand to show her, "Did you get anything from digging this?" ”

Rushing to the mouth of a large piece of straw mushroom Nunu, Li Sangsang stared at the chicken fir in Wei Lan's hand: "I know this mushroom, drinking soup can make people's eyebrows fresh ......"

Li Sangsang didn't know the value of chicken firs, he only knew that the chicken fir was delicious, and he was afraid that Wei Lan really didn't have any city mansion, so he would take it out stupidly, so he said a little more, "You come and pick some straw mushrooms with me, and go back to the straw mushrooms to dry and take them to the big canteen, so keep this for yourself." ”

Almost instantly, Wei Lan understood Li Sangsang's intentions.

When they came out, they said that they were stocking up on more ingredients for the big canteen, and if they suddenly changed their hexagram and said that they wanted to keep this chicken fir, Li Sangsang and Jiang Lihua might have opinions.

Wei Lan was still thinking about it just now, so she just spent some money to buy it.

Who would have expected that as soon as he dozed off, Li Sangsang would send a pillow.

Wei Lan smiled and nodded, and Li Sangsang was beside him, picking up straw mushrooms together.

"You go over there to find the fungus, don't follow me!"

On the other side, Jiang Lihua's eyebrows rose and she glared at Li Jiandang, who was following her.

This person is really, such a big place, he has to follow her, for fear that others will not be able to see his thoughts?

Jiang Lihua was a little annoyed, and at the same time had a strange feeling in her heart.

It's a little sweet, a little nervous, and a little awkward......

This strange feeling made Jiang Lihua feel irritable and inexplicable.

Seeing that she couldn't drive Li Jiandang away, she simply carried her small basket, turned around and left.

Li Jiandang followed closely, glanced at Li Sangsang's side, and explained in a low voice: "The two of them are together, safe, you are alone, I don't worry......"

Jiang Lihua's ears were slightly hot, and her voice was muffled and shy, "Who wants you to care?" Get away from me! ”

"Lihua!" Li Jiandang softened his voice, and regardless of whether Jiang Lihua could see it or not, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Wei Lan's side, "You see that they have already started to pick up straw mushrooms, and we still have nothing...... I don't mean to let you compare with them, but it's not okay to go back empty-handed? ”

Jiang Lihua paused when she heard the sound, followed to look at Wei Lan's side, and saw that Wei Lan and Li Sangsang were talking and laughing and busy, and suddenly felt a little mindful in her heart.

Yes, if she goes back empty-handed, not to mention whether Wei Lan will laugh at her, her face will definitely not look good.

Jiang Lihua pursed her lips, pretending to be impatient and asked Li Jiandang, "Do you have a way to find the fungus?" ”

"Of course!" Seeing that Jiang Lihua no longer resisted herself, Li Jiandang raised his thick eyebrows and wanted to hold Jiang Lihua's hand, but Jiang Lihua dodged with his backhand.

Li Jiandang scratched the back of his head with a smile, withdrew his hand and walked in front of Jiang Lihua with an arrow, "The hillside in front of me has few tea trees, a lot of turf, and a lot of vegetable mushrooms in previous years, and it rained yesterday, so there must be one." ”

"Ground vegetable mushrooms?"

Jiang Lihua said "Huh", she had heard of tea tree mushrooms, straw mushrooms or something, but it was the first time she had heard it for the first time, and she couldn't imagine what it looked like at all.

"The ground vegetable mushroom is also called ground fungus, and it also looks like fungus, that is...... It just looks like it has more moisture than fungus. Li Jiandang was stupid, and he thought for a while before he came up with such an explanation.

Saying this, Jiang Lihua was even more confused.

When she saw the vegetable mushroom with her own eyes, Jiang Lihua picked it up and looked at it.

It is dark green, wet and sticky, easy to break, not to mention, and covered with all kinds of small sand weeds.

It's not easy to clean up this thing.

"Are you sure, this is it? Can this be eaten? Jiang Lihua turned her head suspiciously to look at Li Jiandang.

Li Jiandang squatted on the side with a silly smile on his face, "That's it, it's delicious." ”

Okay, just make sure you can eat it.

Jiang Lihua rolled up her sleeves, opened her bow left and right, held the basket in one hand, and quickly picked it with the other.

The ground vegetable mushroom grows on the creeping ground, and Jiang Lihua can't pick it, and often throws it into the basket with weeds.

Li Jiandang watched from the side for a while, and couldn't help but teach her out loud, "Put your hand a little lighter, pinch a little and slowly take it up." ”

As he spoke, he made a show to Jiang Lihua.

Jiang Lihua frowned and retorted, "It's so slow, when will it take to pick up a basket?" ”

Li Jiandang was not scared of Jiang Lihua at all, and said with a smile: "Then although you pick it up quickly, when you go home to wash it, you will cry." ”

Jiang Lihua was indignant in her heart, glanced at the vegetable mushrooms in her basket that were stained with rotten grass leaves, and finally pouted, and honestly picked up the method that Li Jiandang said.

At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, it rained lightly again, and the three of them had a lot of harvest in the basket, so they planned to go home first, and when they came over another day, the straw mushrooms that had just poked out of the ground should also be picked.

The mushroom was not easy to deal with, Li Sangsang preached Jiang Lihua, Jiang Lihua said hello to Wei Lan and followed the Li family brothers and sisters.

Wei Lan put the small back basket on his neck, raised his two little hands above his head, and trotted back to block the rain.

As soon as he stepped on the fork in the ridge trail at the entrance of the village of the brigade, he bumped into Gu Chao who was walking with an umbrella.

"Brother Chao!"

"Hello." Gu Chao shouted, took two quick steps forward, and shrouded Wei Lan in the range of the umbrella.

The patched old black cloth umbrella blocked the light source while blocking the raindrops, and the little girl's ruddy little face was shrouded in a shadow because of running.

Gu Chao took Wei Lan's back basket and put it on his shoulder, and reached over with his big hand to just want to hold Wei Lan's hand, but Wei Lan hugged his arm.

Wei Lan hissed and pumped cold air, leaned forward and dragged Gu Chao home, "The sky is changing so fast, the light wind is blowing and the cold is dead!" Let's hurry up and hurry home! ”

Gu Chaoling's lips curled, and his expression was gentle, "Okay." ”

persuaded Wei Lan to walk slowly, swallowed back the words of being careful of falling, and let her drag him forward.

……

"Stop."

As the man's voice fell, the white Soviet car stopped on the side of the road.

Yan Yi lowered the window and squinted into the distance.

Zhang Xiaokui stretched his neck and glanced at it, a little uncertain: "That's Wei Zhiqing, right?" And Comrade Gu Chao. ”

On the ridge, a pair of men and women holding umbrellas walked away hand in hand.

Yanyi's thin lips tightened into a straight line, the hands under the sleeves tightened, and the sideways eyes swept towards Zhang Xiaokui.

Zhang Xiaokui was excited, for fear that they would kick him out, grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, sat at a right angle, and didn't dare to say a word nonsense.

Yanyi's gaze turned out of the window again, and it wasn't until the two figures disappeared that he retracted his gaze, "Drive." ”

"Yes!"

The car started again, the exhaust port of the parking space "Tengteng" spewed out a puff of green smoke, the wheels stirred up a burst of mud, and countless mud spots flew up and fell into the mud, not a little wave.

It's like him and her.

One is a trapped beast struggling in the mire, and the other is a bright moon hanging in the air.

The wet mud pool may reflect the light moon.

The trapped beast may hug Mingyue for a short time, but in the final analysis, it is still two passers-by.

Eventually, they will still part ways.

"Alas......"

The man's deep brow bones furrowed and loosened, loosened and wrinkled, and finally struggled only to let out a shallow sigh.

……

At home, Grandma Gu had just shoveled out half a bowl of rice from the rice bowl and was about to steam the rice, Wei Lan saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to put things down, "Grandma!" I'll make lunch today! ”

Wei Lan's cooking skills are good, and Grandma Gu relies on her a lot.

It's just that Wei Lan has just come back from the tea mountain bag, and the mud on her hands has not been washed off, so Grandma Gu inevitably followed behind and nagged a few words: "Didn't you mean picking up mushrooms?" Are you digging a cave? ”

Don't say it, just say this, Wei Lan pushed the basin containing rice on the table, pulled the bamboo basket from Gu Chao's shoulder, and showed the chicken fir to Grandma Gu like a treasure, "Grandma, look! ”

"You can't get such a good thing by digging a cave!" Wei Lan's eyebrows fluttered, and after a while, he stuffed the chicken fir to Gu Chao, "Brother Chao, you help me wash it!" Add one more dish at noon! ”

Grandma Gu chatted for a long time, and when she saw that Wei Lanle was in full swing, she didn't mean to talk to her at all, and suddenly felt a little bored.

Wei Lan was busy slicing the chicken fir fir, Grandma Gu suddenly fell silent, Wei Lan looked up curiously, and her thin black eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "What's wrong with Grandma?" I'm listening. ”

The confused and dazed little appearance made Grandma Gu feel choked inexplicably.

"The old woman is useless, and no one likes to listen to her words." Grandma Gu bluffed, took off her shirt and threw it to Wei Lan's hand, "You guys are busy, let the old woman be free." ”

Grandma Gu said that she wanted to be idle, but she sat at the door of the stove, pinching the tongs to help light the fire.

People often say that when the old man is old, he is an old child, Wei Lan has no grandparents since he was a child, and he has never realized it, but in Grandma Gu, he has a profound experience.

Stubbornness and willfulness are not a big problem, as long as they are in good health.

Wei Lan smiled helplessly, just as Gu Chao brought firewood into the house, the two met unexpectedly, and Wei Lan winked at him playfully.

The yellow eel was marinated early in the morning, Wei Lan cut a piece of fat skin from the beam, cut it into small cubes and put it in the pot to boil out the oil, and when the meat skin was browned and dry, take it out of the pot and pour in the green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
