Chapter 38: The Whole Family
At this time, as the head of Jing Tian's family, Zi'er spoke, he said, "Auntie, uncle, you just listen to my sister!" Let's do this together, sell it and share the money together. Otherwise, we'd rather not be in the business. "Alright! Although Jing Tian is the eldest sister, she is the eldest son, although she is only nine years old, she has also begun to take responsibility since her brother, like a little man. Jing Tian suddenly had a feeling that my family had just grown up...... Uh, it's a bad thing.
Jing Tian also said that Lian Ji Shao's family was going to leave in five days and wanted to take more goods away, and these honest people were focused on how to stock up on others.
The most anxious is the aunt, for fear that she will not meet the requirements of others and complain. The room was noisy, and after a while, Grandma Jing, who was taking a lunch break in the east room opposite, also looked for the excitement. said that it was Grandma Jing, and Li Jingshi was not yet fifty years old. After listening to what happened, she slapped the board directly, except for Li Shushan, who couldn't get off the kang in the past five days, everyone else went to pick mountain goods. Da Anzi went to take care of the work in the field in the morning, and then went up the mountain to help.
In fact, in a team, this kind of thing that only needs execution does not need different voices at all, just one person makes the decision, and then everyone executes it is the most efficient. In this small team composed of Jing Tian's four and his aunt's family, Grandma Jing, who is the most senior, became the team leader.
Grandma Jing also affirmed Jing Tian's wit in calling Qiang Taoren "brain platinum" with her rich life experience, and solemnly instructed a large family to keep it a secret.
Jing Tian looked at Grandma Jing's bright eyes and didn't say much. In fact, Grandma Jing's arrangement was not the most efficient, but this usually kind and amiable elder had a kind of spirit of being ordered in danger, and even his back was straightened. She thought it would be nice. A family is working towards a common goal and listening to the same voice.
The initial agreement was reached, and it was the end of the day. These days, in order to pick up Qiang peaches, Grandma Jing and Uncle Jing have made a lot of baskets, which can just come in handy. Because of the different locations to be busy, everyone was divided into two teams. The aunt took the second Li Le, the fourth Li Feng and the little De'er team. They are picking peaches on the gentle slope near the foot of the mountain, and they don't expect Xiaosi and Xiaode to do much work, the bottom of the hill is relatively safe, and they can play by themselves. The others followed Jing Tian up the mountain together, picking fungus and mushrooms.
Originally, Jing Tian wanted Sister Ran to stay at home to help with the work, but Sister Ran insisted on going up the mountain, and Jing Tian left her alone. Except for principled or major issues of right and wrong, Jing Tian will not ask his younger siblings what they must do. She will put forward her own opinions and suggestions, and if they still insist, then respect the other person's wishes. If you hit the south wall and know that it hurts, you will always turn back. If they really have the courage to tear down the south wall and go head-on, Jing Tian will want to smile and encourage, maybe they will create another deed.
Even at the hottest time of the day, the woods are refreshing. Chen Liang still took the lead in front alone, followed by the third boy Li Ye, then Jing Zi and Jing Ran, Jing Tian watched behind them, and finally the eldest cousin Li An pressed the formation. Among them, Chen Liang and Li An both have two baskets for one person, and one for each of the rest.
The group first came to the place where Jing Tian and Chen Liang picked the fungus in the morning. In the morning, Jing Tian observed that the forest where he picked the fungus was a small piece, and after the shallow mountain stream, there was a large number of trees with fungus growing on it.
Sister Ran is a girl after all, so Jing Tian asked her to be responsible for picking the big leaves and spreading them at the roots of the tree with fungus to pick up the fungus picked by others. Speaking of this large-leaf plant is also unique, the plants at the northern foot of the mountain generally have relatively little light, and the leaves of the plants are not too large, but this plant has two leaves the size of an adult's palm. Jing Tian didn't know the name of this plant, it was about one to two meters tall, and there was a main trunk in the middle, and layers of leaves grew around the main trunk.
At Jing Tian's request, Chen Liang "snapped" twice and knocked out four natural simple wooden shovels. Jing Tian asked Da'an, Sanxiaozi and Xiaozi to break three large leaves first, spread them at the root of the first tree he was going to pick, and then began to pick fungus. Gently dragging the ear piece of the fungus with one hand, and pushing with a small wooden shovel in the other, a complete fungus fell onto the big leaf, eliminating the step of collecting it, and at least doubling the speed.
Sister Ran ran around like a butterfly wearing flowers, she first broke a lot of large leaves, and found the root of the fungus to place it. Then she kept an eye on the progress of the other three people picking the fungus, and when she saw which large leaf was fuller, she hurried over to pick up the fungus that occasionally fell on the ground, and poured the fungus into the basket with the leaves.
Jing Tian explained a few words to these people, and after seeing that everyone was in full swing, she pulled Chen Liang to pick mushrooms. There are many kinds of mushrooms in the mountains, and it takes a lot of effort to identify them. So Jing Tian asked Chen Liang for help. However, he didn't hide his secrets, Jing Tian told Chen Liang in detail all the methods he knew about identifying whether mushrooms were poisonous or not, and also demonstrated how to pick a few.
She was careful not to damage the roots when picking the mushrooms, and each cluster left a relatively small mushroom that she didn't finish. Jing Tian picked a few places, and just wanted to remind Chen Liang, but she didn't expect her to raise her head and find out. Chen Liang not only picks faster than himself, but also picks only the big ones, and leaves at least one in each cluster.
Hey? Working with smart people is worry-free! Jing Tian sighed silently.
It had been busy for nearly two hours, and the sun was already in the west, and in another hour, I am afraid it would be dark. Because he was worried about things, Jing Tian decided to get busy here today. Previously, because they were looking for mushroom picking, they had already left the mountain stream some distance, and now it was almost dark, and she had to come back to meet Da'an and them.
This afternoon, everyone worked hard and brought eight baskets, which were basically filled to six. Jing Tian picked mushrooms here and took a total of three baskets. There were two of them, and the last one was half a basket. Da Anzi also packed four and a half baskets of fungus they picked. Jing Tian was extremely satisfied with the fruits of this afternoon's labor, so he beckoned everyone to go down the mountain and go home.
At the foot of the mountain, I called Xiao Er and Xiao Si, who were still picking Qiang peaches, to go home together. Half an hour ago, the aunt led Xiao De'er home first, she picked some wild vegetables, and she had to go home to cook first.
The group happily returned to the aunt's house with the basket on their backs, the rice was not yet ready, but they could already smell the aroma of rice. Originally, at noon, when Jing Tian said that he would eat rice and boiled eggs for dinner tonight, the aunt was reluctant, and she reluctantly agreed after Jing Tian's various coquettish face-shedding soft and hard treatments. Jing Tian put most of the basket of mushrooms he was carrying under the wall of the hall, said to his eldest uncle to go out, and called Chen Liang to go out together.
