Chapter 22 Digging Bamboo Shoots

When we came back from the county in the afternoon, we threw more than 20 bundles of red hundred-yuan bills on the kang, I took off my shoes and sat on the kang, opened the bundles like a rich man, spread the money around me, and asked Jiang Zhi to take a photo of me and the money with my mobile phone under the kang.

Jiang Zhi really didn't have a trick for me, a daughter-in-law who often smoked, so he took a few photos of me with his mobile phone, and I posed in various poses that I could think of.

In the end, the aunt couldn't stand it anymore when she entered the house, and said that she would quickly count the money one by one, and people would come to withdraw the money in a while. That's when I stopped. I also faintly heard my aunt's complaint to Jiang Zhi, "How can you be so accustomed to your daughter-in-law." "I'm embarrassed.

Honestly, I counted the money that should be given to each family in advance, and counted it several times, but I was afraid of making a mistake. When our family finished dinner, people came to withdraw the money one after another.

These gossiping villagers didn't leave after taking the money, and when they inquired about us buying a house here, we all said that it was for my mother-in-law, and we came to my aunt.

After a while, the village chief uncle also came. He took this opportunity to announce to everyone that I had bought a house, and Lao Jiatou's land and pine forest were also given to me.

After hearing this, everyone didn't express any opinions, their own land, pine forests, and fungus were too busy, so how could they have time to worry about others.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Chen Cuihua.

She came by herself today, the earliest, and she didn't leave after taking the money, just waiting by the side, watching others come to withdraw the money, so she stepped forward to ask how much they sold, and then she muttered to the side and calculated, helping us calculate how much it cost to collect the mountain goods this time.

Do you say that this Comrade Chen Cuihua is not looking for trouble. Does the amount of money we spend on collecting mountain goods have anything to do with her? I just heard that we spent another 200,000 yuan to buy Lao Jiatou's house, so I was not happy, and I muttered in a low voice, why is there so much money and still picking it up, and why is it so rich and taking advantage of us.

You say we have money, what does it matter to you, is this a hatred of the rich?

So after the village chief announced that Lao Jiatou's house had been sold to us and given us land and pine forests, she quit.

She jumped out against it. "Village chief, that's not good, 200,000 is the money to buy a house, they are so rich, how can they still send land and pine forests." This is to make us pay for more land and pine forests

When the village chief saw that she was jumping out, he said, "No matter who buys this house, I will give him Lao Jiatou's land and pine forest." If you don't agree to give them away, you will take out 200,000 yuan to buy it. Didn't you say that 200,000 yuan is the money to buy a house, and if you can't give land and pine forests, then I'll give you a house and nothing else. When will you be able to hand over the 200,000 yuan, our village will still wait for this money to be used. ”

Chen Cuihua immediately fell silent after listening to it, she really had nothing to look for.

The village chief saw that no one was saying anything, so he said to Jiang Zhi again, "If you are free, let your brother-in-law lead you to recognize the pine forest." We have a family in the village, but we can't be mistaken. There is also land, you are not in a hurry to plant rice this year. You and your brother-in-law discuss whether you can plant some other crops, and if you come back next year, you can plant rice together. With that, he got up and left.

Everyone saw that the village chief had left, and they all dispersed.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Zhi said to his aunt that he wanted to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest tomorrow morning, and his aunt said okay and sent his aunt to accompany him.

The next morning we came to the edge of the bamboo forest. I was so excited to look at the bamboo forest, this was the first time I had dug bamboo shoots in my life. Jiang Zhi was worried about my frizzy nature, so he took my hand before entering the bamboo forest and said, "You will enter the bamboo forest in a while, follow me." ”

I quickly nodded obediently.

My sister-in-law was the first to burrow into the bamboo forest, and we followed, crawling up a hillside among the tall bamboos, which were overgrown with weeds, occasionally smelling a faint scent of flowers, and sometimes a few small wildflowers.

My sister-in-law introduced us as she walked, and there are two kinds of spring bamboo shoots, one is a small bamboo shoot with a thin and sharp point, which does not need to be dug with a hoe, but grabbed by hand and pulled out. This bamboo shoot can be eaten dried or freshly fried with meat. The other is a bit labor-intensive, and must be carefully dug out with a hoe, and it is generally made into smoked bamboo shoots, because this kind of bamboo shoots have some astringency when eaten fresh, and they are not delicious. After that, my sister-in-law told us some tips on digging bamboo shoots.

The sister-in-law used a knife to chop wood in front of him, Jiang Zhi carried a hoe on his shoulder, and I carried a big bamboo basket in my hand. I followed them while admiring the scenery along the way, and in my eyes, a patch of weeds and a handful of small flowers were also attractive. Jiang Zhi saw that I was lagging behind, so he turned around and wanted to pull me away, and suddenly he looked behind me with a condensed expression, and said to me: "Don't move." "Pick up the hoe and smash it into the tree behind me.

I was startled, and looked back at the place where his hoe had hit, and it was a snake with its head smashed. I immediately felt goosebumps all over my body, and I broke out in a cold sweat. Without knowing it, I met the first snake in this life.

The sister-in-law saw us stop and walked back to see what was going on. When he saw the dead snake, he said, "I'm frightened, it's okay, this is a flower snake, it's not poisonous." There are no poisonous snakes in our bamboo forest, and it is very safe. As he spoke, he stepped forward and mentioned the dead snake, "This can't be wasted, go back and let your aunt stew it." ”

It's not poisonous, but I'm still afraid. After that, I didn't dare to raise Erzheng, and dragged the hem of Jiang Zhi's clothes in my hand, afraid that there would be another snake. Jiang Zhi also became more cautious, carefully observing the surroundings.

But after a while, our tense atmosphere was replaced by the novelty of digging bamboo shoots.

We followed the little brother-in-law and searched hard, the little brother-in-law has very sharp eyes, and can always find bamboo shoots, so we help dig out the fat and tender bamboo shoots, and put them in the basket I took, and the basket will be in Jiang Zhi's hands after a while, because the bamboo shoots are too big, and the basket has been filled without digging a few. The basket was too heavy, and I had a hard time carrying it.

I handed the basket to Jiang Zhi, empty-handed, looking for traces of bamboo shoots everywhere. Often when looking for bamboo shoots, I saw a shadow like a snake next to the bamboo, so I screamed, and when everyone came, I found that it was a snake, it was a grass branch.

I sent a false alarm this morning, and I didn't find a single bamboo shoot, and I was tired.

When I sat down to rest, I accidentally saw a pointed head peeking out of the pile of fallen leaves next to me.

It's bamboo shoots, and this time I let out a scream of joy, urging Jiang Zhi to dig with a hoe.

We dug in the bamboo forest all morning and harvested a lot. When I came back, Jiang Zhi walked side by side with my sister-in-law with a full basket and a hoe on my shoulder, and I proudly held the bamboo shoots I found in front of me, all the way home to show off with my aunt.

I'm very happy today because I love the feeling of adventure, treasure hunting. Of course, I prefer the taste of bamboo shoots.

My aunt was also very happy to see us return with a full load, and when she saw that her husband was still carrying a flower snake in her hand, she said that this was delicious, and stewed this snake at noon, so that we could try it.

When the snake meat is served at noon, I look at this small plate, which is like a snake and scorpion. My aunt said that the snake was too small, so let me and Jiang Zhi eat more. My chopsticks resolutely did not stretch out on the snake meat, and Jiang Zhi only ate one bite and then stopped moving.

My aunt saw that we didn't eat it, and I wondered, could it be that it was not delicious? She also put a piece of meat in her mouth, and it tasted very good. asked Jiang Zhi, "Why don't you eat it, don't you like it?" ”

"I like it, auntie, the snake meat is delicious, I'll save it for a while and finish the meal and taste it slowly." Jiang Zhi's last sentence was addressed to me.

My sister-in-law and my aunt looked at me ambiguously, does this have anything to do with me, what do you want me to do!

The aunt and the sister-in-law went into the house to rest after eating without squeaking, and when they left, they laughed quietly and said, "These two children have a really good relationship." "After that, Jiang Zhi and I were left here in the room, tangled with snake meat.

Jiang Zhi ate very slowly today, I finished eating, he was still chewing and swallowing slowly, I was waiting for Jiang Zhi to finish eating, and I would clean up the table.

I have to behave at my aunt's house, if I let Jiang Zhi do everything, my aunt will definitely say that my nephew and daughter-in-law are not good. How virtuous I am.

When I was self-absorbed, Jiang Zhi kissed me, I was stunned, this is too bold, in broad daylight, he was lustful, I was thinking about whether I was struggling, or from it, I felt Jiang Zhi cross something into my mouth, I subconsciously chewed it and my stomach was now, it was meat, the meat was delicate, and the lips and teeth were fragrant.

When I realized that it was snake meat, I looked at Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi had already sat up straight, holding chopsticks and slowly holding a piece of snake meat to be put into his mouth.

I screamed, stepped forward and ate the snake meat that Jiang Zhi was about to enter his mouth in one bite, and his hand also reached out to the plate, dragged the plate in front of me, picked up the chopsticks again, and began to "I have a piece, you have a piece" to divide the spoils. Jiang Zhi looked at me helplessly. I ignored Jiang Zhi's eyes and quickly attacked the snake meat in my bowl, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

I looked at my empty bowl, and then turned my head to look at Jiang Zhi pitifully. Jiang Zhi finally couldn't stand my eyes, and fed me piece by piece with snake meat. Looking at Jiang Zhi's gentle eyes looking at me, I kissed Jiang Zhi's face with my oily mouth, and also gave me the sweet words of "Husband, you are so good".

The snake was not big, Jiang Zhi didn't eat a few bites at all, and ate it all for me. I looked at the empty plate and thought to my chagrin that this snake was so small!
