With the leftover broth from last night and drinking the freshly boiled brown rice porridge in the morning, the family happily finished breakfast. Tong Chen was going to the school as usual, and now was not the busy season for farming, and the Su family didn't have to go to the fields to work. Tong Yi and Nan Nan have new playmates, and they are very happy to play with Xiaoxue.

Su Shi took the embroidery basket out of the house, sat on the edge of the south wall and began to embroider some patterns. Su's embroidery is very good, and there is no one in the entire Tongjia Village who is better at embroidery than her. The land in the second room of the Tong family is very small, and the food produced is very barely subsisting, so the Su family spends his free time embroidering patterns to supplement the family.

Su Miaoqing looked at the drawings embroidered by Su Shi, and there were a few simple patterns on them, which were quite popular nowadays.

"Mother, is this trick selling well?" Su Miaoqing asked.

Su Shi raised his head and smiled: "Now they are all sold like this, and they can't be said to be good or bad, my mother's embroidery is still over, and this one can be sold for five or six big money." "She can basically embroider one a day, but this thing can't be sold as much as you embroider, so it can't be used as a long-term income supplement for the family.

"Mother, I'll draw a pattern, mother to see if I can embroider?" Su Miaoqing picked up a stone and drew it on the ground one by one, she drew a stick figure of a begonia, although it didn't look very different from Su's embroidery, but after a closer look, she felt that the flower she drew would be more aura if it was embroidered.

Su Shi carefully measured Su Miaoqing's drawing, and his eyes showed surprise, "Miaoqing, what kind of flower is this?" It's so beautiful, if you embroider this into a pattern, you will definitely sell it at a good price in the county. ”

Su Miaoqing pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Mother! I don't know this flower, but I usually see it when I go up the mountain, so I write it down. If my mother thinks it can be used, I can still draw several kinds of it. ”

Su Miaoqing has no doubts about Su Miaoqing's statement, Su Miaoqing has shown unusual intelligence since she was a child, and she often teaches Nan Nan to draw some common things on the ground when she has nothing to do on weekdays.

Although I haven't figured out how to make money yet, if Su Shi embroiders it according to his own painting and can sell it for more money, then the family's income can be a little more, and he can't become fat in one bite, and if he wants to make money, he still has to take it step by step.

Seeing that Su Shi was immersed in embroidery, Su Miaoqing said: "Mother, I'll go for a walk in the mountains and see if there is any harvest from the traps I dug before." ”

Su Miaoqing used to go up the mountain alone, Su Shi didn't doubt him, and saw that she was wrapped in thick gauze on her forehead, and wanted to tell her to rest at home for a few more days before going up the mountain. Su Miaoqing knew what Su wanted to say at a glance, and said directly: "Mother, this wound is not in the way, I will go up the mountain with Xiaoxue today, with it, what other accidents can there be?" ”

Tong Yi, who was playing happily on the side, couldn't help but feel good when he heard that Su Miaoqing was going up the mountain, and he came over: "Sister Miaoqing, I'm going too." ”

Su Miaoqing knew that Tong Yi was an idle master, and he used to follow him to the mountains from time to time, so he didn't stop him, and nodded and agreed. Nan Nan's earnest eyes stared at Su Miaoqing, and even Tong Rui was eager to try. Su Miaoqing didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and said directly: "Brother Rui, you watch Nan Nan go to the field to get some wild vegetables." ”

Tong Rui's bright eyes were covered with a layer of gray, and his own body, even if he went up the mountain, he couldn't help Miaoqing, but he was very capable of becoming a burden.

Su Miaoqing saw that his mood was instantly low, and comforted: "Brother Rui, wait for your body to get better, let's go into the mountains every day to hunt game!" I was afraid that Tong Rui would think that he was perfunctory to him, and said: "You haven't seen any serious doctors in this body, wait for our family to become rich, find a powerful Lang Zhong to prescribe a few medicines for you, and drink it!" ”

Tong Rui raised his head and grinned: "Go, go, I will take care of my family." ”

Xiaoxue had already been ready to go, and from the time Su Miaoqing said that she was going to the mountain, it rushed to the gate of the courtyard. Tong Yi carried a basket, took a hemp rope and a machete, and also stood at the gate of the courtyard.

The two-bedroom house of the Tong family is located at the foot of the mountain, some distance away from the village, and when there is nothing to do on weekdays, the people in the village generally do not come here, so that the existence of Xiaoxue does not need to be concealed, just be vigilant on weekdays.

Su Miaoqing is too familiar with this mountain, and she found a few traps dug before, but she was unlucky, and there was no prey in it. Like these traps dug by the villagers, it is rare to hunt prey on weekdays, and those who go up the mountain to hunt game, at most, they can get a pheasant or a hare. But now it's different, with Xiaoxue here, isn't the prey still handy?

Sure enough, they had only walked five or six miles up the mountain, and Xiaoxue bared her teeth and roared, Su Miaoqing knew that this was Xiaoxue who had discovered the prey, in the past, when the two of them were walking in the mountains, the meat was hunted by Xiaoxue.

Su Miaoqing hadn't found out where the prey was, so Tong Yi excitedly put down the basket on his back, clenched the machete in his hand, and was about to touch it forward. Bold and careful, quick to react, this Tong Yi has a good body. Su Miaoqing immediately decided in her heart that she couldn't bury Tong Yi in the future, and she had to take an opportunity to teach him some fist and foot kung fu no matter what.

Tong Yi was still in front of the cat, Su Miaoqing stretched out her hand and grabbed him, and gestured to Xiaoxue with her eyes, Tong Yi immediately reacted, standing still, and made a sound that startled the prey. Xiaoxue crawled on the ground for a long time, jumped suddenly, and the speed was so fast that people only felt that there were white flowers in front of them, and in an instant, they came back with a small flower feather pheasant, and the pheasant's wings were still fluttering, proving that it was not dead.

When Xiaoxue was crawling, Su Miaoqing communicated with it in her heart and let it catch it alive, originally she just had the attitude of trying to see if she really had the same heart with Xiaoxue, but the result proved that her conjecture was correct, it seems that God is really attached to herself, this is a special ability, right? Although I can only communicate with Xiaoxue.

"Sister Miaoqing, let's take a look around, I heard my father say before, pheasants usually don't go too far from the nest to feed on weekdays, if we're lucky, maybe we can catch one." Tong Yi's eyes flashed with excitement.

Su Miaoqing nodded, and the two of them searched carefully from the place where they caught the pheasant.

"Found it, found it." Tong Yi shouted happily, "Sister Miaoqing, I found a nest of wild eggs, there are eight of them!" ”

After coming out for a while, the harvest is not small, Su Miaoqing doesn't plan to go inside, this game is still fresh and delicious, the amount of food for these people at home is not large, and they can't finish eating too much, and it won't be fresh if they put it away, there are still ten days left in this big set once every half a month, and it can't be sold for money even if you want to, besides, there is Xiaoxue, are you afraid that there will be no game to eat?

Tong Yi was very satisfied with being able to catch a seven or eight pound Hualing pheasant in such a short time, and Su Miaoqing said that when he went back, he nodded and agreed without hesitation. A pheasant, a nest of wild eggs, a lot of income!

When she went back, Xiaoxue didn't go with her, and Su Miaoqing told it to let it eat enough in the mountains by itself and wait until the evening to come back. There are a lot of people going up the mountain at this time, and if they are seen and have bad intentions, then it will be troublesome. Moreover, Xiaoxue has a large amount of food, and the family can't afford to raise it at this time, so she can only let it forage for food first!
