After all, she was hungry for a long time, but she also wanted the children to eat more, but seeing Xue'er's sensible face, she couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, Mei Sanniang just raised her hand, Mei Xue trembled, and her hands began to tremble.

Mei Sanniang was also stunned when she saw this scene, and then noticed the bruises on Mei Xue's wrists.

"Thank you... Cher..."

Seeing her mother accept it, Xue'er couldn't help but be happy.

Five bird eggs are the only protein left in the family, Mei Sanniang thought about it, and took out three in her hand and put them in Mei Xue's hand, "These three are for you, the child is still growing his body, I don't eat it for a long time, and it is superfluous to eat." ”

"Mother..."

"It's not fast to eat, it's fishy when it's cold, and it's not delicious. After eating, follow me to pick some wild vegetables. ”

Mei Xue thought she had heard it wrong, her eyes widened for a few seconds, and she heard it right, this was what her mother said, so she hurriedly expressed her attitude, "Okay, listen to my mother." ”

As always, Mei Xue listened to her mother's words very much, but after her mother went crazy, she didn't remember Xue'er and Guitang, and she had to be beaten if she couldn't eat enough all day long, not to mention that her mother would take them to find food, and now that her mother is sober, she can still dig wild vegetables, of course she is happy.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, there is a lot of game in the mountains, and the wild vegetables after the rain are even more crazy to emerge out, and the grass grows taller than half a person.

When she went out, Mei Sanniang also specially said hello to Brother Erzhu, borrowed a bamboo basket, smoothed the shovel, and prepared to pick more while it was cool after the rain.

After the rain, the road was very slippery, Mei Sanniang picked up a wooden stick and handed it to Mei Xue, and she bent a yellow wattle pole to knock off the stagnant water in front of her.

The dense grass is full of mushrooms, and Mei Sanniang still knows some of them, and as for the red umbrella umbrella of Enchanting Yan'er, she knocked them off one by one.

"It's unacceptable! The more beautiful it is, the more toxic it is. Chicken fir mushrooms like this are edible. ”

Mei Sanniang picked one with one hand and put it in the basket, Mei Xue was not idle at this time, the little baby's eyes were sharp, and she helped Mei Sanniang see where there were wild mushrooms.

At a glance, the trunk of the tree not far away was covered with black things, so he called out to Mei Sanniang in confusion, "Mother, what is that?" ”

Mei Sanniang, who was bending down to pick up the chicken fir fungus, heard the movement, straightened up, and saw that the dead wood was covered with black fungus, and without saying a word, she lifted her trouser legs and ran up, "Isn't this fungus?" Cher is awesome. ”

Mei Xue smiled happily, the first time she saw her mother smile so brightly.

"Mother, I'm looking for somewhere else."

"Okay, you take the stick and beat the stagnant water, don't get your trouser legs wet."

"Okay."

The girl who was released was happy like a wild monkey, scurrying around in the mountains, and she didn't know what to be happy about, while Mei Sanniang continued to pick fungus.

It's really not her boasting that the road is slippery on a rainy day, Zhun Er will fall to the sky if she doesn't pay attention, fortunately, there are many trees on the mountain, Mei Sanniang stepped on the grass and picked a basket of tree trunks.

"Mother, there are a lot of mushrooms here." Not far away, Mei Xue's crisp voice was heard.

Mei Sanniang hurriedly ran away when she heard this, before she thought that if she picked too much, she would give some to Brother Erzhu, but she didn't expect so much after the rain.

When I thought of the mushroom feast, I was full of energy, and I hurriedly ran but forgot that the mountain road was slippery, and the mushrooms were sprinkled on the ground, and my hands and trouser legs were full of mud.

Mei Xue heard the movement and hurriedly ran over, anxiously looking at Mei Sanniang who fell to the ground on her side, for fear that her mother would knock her head on the ground, so she hurriedly reached out to help, but the child had little strength and couldn't lift it, so her eyes couldn't help but flow down in a hurry.

"Don't cry! There was no burp, and the crying was ugly. ”

After Mei Sanniang wiped the tears from the corners of Xue'er's eyes with her clean sleeves, she sighed in her heart, fortunately, it was the butt pier that fell, so she climbed up through the trunk of the tree, and it was gratifying that Mei Xue, the child, was surprisingly sensible, and said that if she didn't cry, she wouldn't cry, "Tsk, your butt hurts, don't see it, don't run around on rainy days in the future, otherwise you will end up like this." ”

Mei Xue sniffed and nodded repeatedly.

"If you feel sorry for your mother, pick up the mushrooms on the ground, and I'll slow down first."

When Mei Sanniang came to her senses, Mei Xue packed it all up, and handed her the wooden stick in her hand.

"Mother, the road is slippery after the rain, and I will be left to break up the stagnant water."

"Okay."

Mei Sanniang's voice was gentle, and she took the wooden stick softly.

The two of them went one after the other, Mei Xue was responsible for breaking up the stagnant water in the grass, and Mei Sanniang followed behind with a wooden stick, limping down the mountain.

Passing by Xu Erzhu's house, Mei Sanniang looked in, and did not see the figure of Brother Erzhu, but looked forward to a big lady.

"Go, go, go, go to another house, our second pillar can't stand the toss."

"Erzhu Niang, I didn't..." Before he finished speaking, he pushed Mei Sanniang out.

"Don't come! Our family is poor and can't afford to raise a few people, so let go of the second pillar! He still has to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

Turning around, the second pillar of his mother closed the door with a "bang".

"Mother."

"It's okay, let's go home." Mei Sanniang picked up the basket and walked home.

She prepares to dry the picked fungus for later use, and the fresh chicken fir mushrooms are used to cook the soup.

"Xue'er, you go wash the mushrooms and cook the mushroom soup later."

When Mei Xue heard that the mushroom soup was cooking, the whole person jumped up and ran happily to the hall, "Brother, we have mushroom soup to drink." ”

Outside the house, Mei Sanniang spread the freshly picked fungus in a dustpan, found a ventilated place and put it away, and waited for the sun to dry it for a few hours.

At this time, seeing that Mei Xue hadn't moved, she called into the house, "Xue'er, have the mushrooms been washed?" ”

Hearing her mother's shout, Mei Xue didn't dare to delay for a moment, for fear that her mother would be angry and leave her and her younger brother behind.

"Wash the mud and bring the mushrooms in, and I'll go set up a fire."

After Mei Sanniang gave the order, Mei Xue moved tightly.

Mei Sanniang picked up some dry firewood and went into the house, set up a fire, and then scooped a bowl of water and poured it into the big iron pot, and waited for the water to boil and put the mushrooms, which was rude, simple and labor-saving.

"Mother, the mushrooms are washed."

Taking the basket, Mei Sanniang poured all the chicken fir mushrooms into the pot and boiled over high heat, "You can eat it later, go wash two bowls." ”

The division of labor between the two is clear, and Mei Sanniang saves a lot of effort and waits for it to be cooked.

"Sanniang, what are you cooking? Seeing white smoke coming from your chimney, come and eat. I don't know when, Xu Erzhu leaned against the threshold and looked at Sanniang, who was concentrating on cooking.

"Brother Erzhu? What are you doing here. ”

"What's cooking?"

Xu Erzhu took a look inside, there were a lot of mushrooms in the pot, and the boiling hot water kept boiling.

"Eating mushrooms? This stuff makes up! ”

"I just passed by your house and wanted to send you some, but unfortunately... Your mother..."Mei Sanniang stirred it in the pot, and stopped talking.

"Sanniang, my mother is anxious, although she is a little prejudiced against you, but she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart from the bottom of her heart, so I won't bring some potatoes to see you."

"You're not making claims? Didn't your mother pick up my skin if she knew," Mei Sanniang took the potato, picked up a stone and put it next to the second pillar, "Sit down for a while, cook it and drink a bowl, by the way, I dried some fungus and took some home." ”
