Chapter 15: Luck Crash
September is both harvest season and sowing season, and in this busy farming season, the big guys are still busy harvesting and sowing seeds in the fields.
The rumors that were originally boiling in the village gradually subsided and began to get busy under the suppression of several village cadres.
At this time, most people do not have any other sense of autonomy. The world is big, and the food is the biggest. Raising land can support themselves, so farming has become their top priority.
A good harvest means that you can fill your stomach with other things.
……
Su Wangyun, who moved out of Su's old house, was also busy.
The thatched hut that has been cleaned up has become more popular in the deserted.
In the muddy pond, Su Wangyun stood in the middle of the green lotus leaves with his trouser legs rolled, bending down and folding a few long lotus roots.
Su Niancheng on the edge of the pond looked at it with a blank look, and when he saw the long lotus root, his eyes lit up, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "There really is a lotus root!" ”
Su Wangyun folded seven or eight roots, but he didn't fold them anymore, and he couldn't finish eating them if he had more.
Fresh lotus root will lose moisture in two days at most, and it will be easy to spoil after a short time.
Anyway, there is a pond at the back of the house, and if you want to eat it and pick it again, you don't need to pick so many at once.
At noon, I ate Su Wangyun's simple fried lotus root slices, which were mixed with fungus and wild vegetables picked in the wetlands on the mountain, and fried a big bowl.
There is a lack of seasoning, there is no oil when stir-frying, only a little salt is put in, and the taste can only be considered average.
With a bowl of coarse dough cakes, the two children ate with bulging stomachs and a satisfied face.
There was not much food in the house, and when he was separated from Su Lao's house, in addition to the things in his own house, when the rear panel car was about to be pushed away, Su Wangyun also sneaked into the kitchen and transported some rice noodles, pots and pans.
Worried about being discovered by the second aunt and Mrs. Su, Su Wangyun didn't dare to pick the lock of the cabinet where the grain was placed, and only took the things on the surface.
It is estimated that the second aunt, who got up the next morning to make breakfast and found that there were fewer pots and pans, is still scolding.
Su Wangyun doesn't care, it's just that she still has to raise a child right now, and feeding her stomach is what she should think about now.
"Sister, what are you doing here?"
Su Nianqing was still holding a piece of dough cake in her hand, squatting on the ground, looking at the hoe that Su Wangyun borrowed from next door, and asked curiously.
I don't know if it was because of the sudden separation from Su Lao's house, so that the little girl who was originally dissatisfied with Su Wangyun's pimples began to be willing to call Su Wangyun's sister.
Su Wangyun came in with a hoe, and when he heard this, he said, "Open two plots of land, plant some vegetables, and collect some vegetables to eat before winter comes." ”
This is a decision she made after thinking about it from a long-term perspective.
In the open yard of her house, she opened a few vegetable plots, and it happened that she had pea seeds in her hands that were found in the old house, which were suitable for planting in this season and could mature in November and December.
Although farming now is just a drop in the bucket, it is better than eating nothing at all.
Su Niancheng followed behind Su Wangyun with his little hands behind his back, followed Su Nianqing's example, squatted on the ground, and looked up at Su Wangyun who was walking around.
The family is really poor, and there is not even a stool to sit on.
Su Wangyun supported his tired waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at a vegetable patch that had just been opened after a busy afternoon, turned his head to look at the two radish heads who were helping to pick up stones next to him, and suddenly asked,
"Where's your second brother?"
Yes, Su Wangyun, who had been busy all day, suddenly remembered Su Wangjing, who had no one early in the morning.
Su Niancheng carefully hugged the broken stone, and was about to throw it out, when he heard his sister's question, he said without thinking, "Second brother went out to play." ”
Looking at the sun that was about to set, Su Wangyun gave up the idea of continuing to open the land, and turned around to prepare dinner, which was no different from lunch, with lotus root slices mixed with fried fungus and wild vegetables, and cooked a pot of white porridge.
Su Wangjing almost stepped on the dinner point back, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of lotus roots, walked in with a big grin, and asked in a loud voice, "It's so fragrant!" Sister, what are you cooking? ”
Su Wangyun took the twins to nest in the narrow kitchen, there were no tables and chairs, so he could only sit on the stove and move three fairly flat stones outside as stools.
Su Wangjing, who came in from outside, relied on the tall figure of the young man, and at a glance saw the fried lotus root on the stove and the rice porridge in the two small bowls, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Ha just eats, I came back just in time." ”
As he spoke, Su Wangjing leaned towards the stove, but saw the empty bottom of the pot, "Sister, why is it gone?" Didn't you cook my portion? ”
Su Wangjing didn't give up looking left and right, the kitchen was just a little bigger, and the pot was just like that, sure Su Wangyun really didn't leave him a copy, Su Wangjing stared, and seemed a little incredulous.
"Sister?"
Su Wangyun ignored him, and he shouted expectantly.
Su Wangyun slowly drank the last mouthful of porridge, drove the remaining vegetables in the bowl into the bowl of the two little radish heads, whispered to the two of them to eat slowly, wiped his mouth again, and then got up to look at Su Wangjing, who was standing dryly.
said, "There are no idlers at home, and if you want to eat, you have to work." ”
Running out all day long, Shenlong saw the head and the end, and the family was still worried, and if he didn't help, he wanted to eat, which was not so good.
Su Wangjing stared dryly, as if he didn't expect his sister to say this, and said dryly, "But... I'm your brother! ”
"It's useless for you to be my own father, do you see that piece of land? If you want to eat, you will open two pieces of land tomorrow. Su Wangyun pointed to the freshly opened vegetable patch in the yard and said.
Farming is really tiring.
Before it was dark, Su Wangyun boiled some hot water, beckoned the two little ones to come over and wash, and went back to the house to sleep after washing before it was completely dark.
After dark, there is no electricity, no entertainment, Ronggen Village at this point in time, in order to save money for oil lamps and candles, most families will choose to go to bed.
In the morning, the sky was bright.
Su Wangjing didn't know if he had listened to Su Wangyun's words, and the next day, he got up at the right time.
As soon as Su Wangyun made breakfast, he followed cheekily, snorted a big bowl of porridge, nibbled on a piece of dough cake with lotus root slices, and sighed with satisfaction.
"Sister, why didn't you find out before... The food you cooked... It's not so delicious! ”
Su Wangyun ignored him, wrapped the sickle in a cloth, put the basket on his back, and said, "Remember to open the ground, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, have lunch in the pot, and eat it when it's hot at noon." ”
She had to go up the mountain, and the little food that came out of Su's old mansion was gone after making lunch at noon today.
She wanted to go to the mountains to see if there were any wild grains of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and dig a little bit to count.
Eat people with a soft mouth and take people with short hands. After Su Wangjing filled his stomach, he didn't run outside again, stayed in the yard honestly, and worked with the twins.
Nian Cheng and Nian Qing are also obedient, and they don't need Su Wangyun to worry too much.
Ronggen Village is backed by a mountain range, and in front of the mountain range is a large forest, on which the villagers of Ronggen Village have relied for generations to survive.
In the mountains and forests, most hunters who can hunt often come and go, and a little on the periphery, women and children also come and go to pick wild vegetables, wild fruits, or hunt birds.
So Su Wangyun met a lot of villagers who went into the mountains along the way, and there were traces of excavation in more places on the periphery, and most of the wild vegetables were dug up.
The probability that Su Wangyun can dig potatoes and sweet potatoes is almost zero, so after thinking about it, he didn't stop and continued to go deeper.
The further you go inside, there is no trace of what others have visited, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds and thorns.
There was silence in my ears, the sound of birds chirping, and the sound of the shade of the trees being swayed by the wind, which was exceptionally silent.
Su Wangyun looked back and didn't go inside.
She was afraid that there would be no traces of human activity here, and that wild beasts would be infested.
Under the cover of the dense forest, except for a few stars and zero points of the sun's rays, the ground was wet, as if it had just rained.
Among the weeds, there are many wild mushrooms attached to rotting trees and wetlands.
Su Wangyun didn't know these fungi, and he didn't dare to pick them easily, for fear of being poisonous.
She only cut some chicken mushrooms, fungus, and some wild vegetables she knew, and scavenged several places with a sickle, but she couldn't dig up the sweet potatoes she wanted.
Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day, Su Wangyun was a little deflated.
Sure enough, what is written in the book is a lie, what heroine digs up potatoes and sweet potatoes as soon as she enters the mountain, and there is even a probability of picking up a hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum.
She was hoping to try her luck, but after searching all morning, she didn't find anything else except the common wild vegetables and mushrooms.
At that time, the hare that came out from time to time saw that she was greedy, but she could only watch it disappear quickly in front of her, impotent and furious.
I don't know how to hunt, I don't have any luck, and I don't even dare to pick the wild vines I just came across, and the bunches of green grapes hanging from the trees.
But the vine was too tall, and there were some green snakes wrapped around the branches, and they were spitting out snake letters, and they were entwined.
Su Wangyun was already afraid of snakes, looking at at at least four snakes wrapped around the vines, he spat snake letters at her, his scalp was numb, and he ran away.
Su Wangyun, who was carrying a basket of wild vegetables and fungus, was ready to go home.
This trip she figured out, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, it also requires skills, it is not something that can be done casually, if it is really so easy, wouldn't everyone in Ronggen Village be able to make a fortune by relying on this mountain.
Su Wangyun, who was walking down the mountain, was thinking about what was going to happen next, when he suddenly heard a sound in front of him and looked up.
In the thin and shallow shadows of the trees, as if he saw something, the light-colored pupils dilated for a moment, and he took two steps back, stunned.
