Chapter 7: Picking Chestnuts in the Mountains
Just a few days after the frost fell, a white layer of snow and frost hung on the mountains and forests in the early morning.
The hazy fog shrouded the entire mountain, surrounded by mountains, and the wooden houses standing on the mountainside really give people a feeling of isolation from the world and cultivating immortals in the dense forest.
The layers of mountains and mountains, which can not be seen at a glance, and the mountains outside the mountains, make Ruan Qing feel that there is a kind of "at first, the mountains are mountains, and the water is water, and then in the past, the mountains are not mountains, and the water is not water, and now, I see the mountains or the mountains, and the water is still water." ”
These days, the greenhouse has been done, just in front of the place, more than a dozen acres of land, rented three or four cultivators, suddenly, one day for you to turn the land well, but also burn money, just a day of machine plus labor, a day to five hundred yuan, plus film to build a steel frame, spent tens of thousands of dollars.
This mountain and forest are windy, the trees are windy, and they can't split the bamboo and wood shelves, just this matter, my mother has been talking in her ears for a long time, Huang Mu thought she was playing a little trouble, but she didn't expect that this girl was more than a dozen acres of land, which was time-consuming and laborious and costly, yes, my mother was afraid of spending money.
But it's hard to collect the water, and my mother has no choice but to regret it, so she can only talk in her ear, with the left ear in and the right ear out.
The thanks thing is that she has set up the Five Spirit Array, from the paddy field in front of the door to the entire mountain behind the house, with her house as the center, it seems to be refracted around, forming a large array.
Every day, there is a Reiki factor floating in the air.
In just a few days, the seeds in the greenhouse have sprouted.
Before that, I have to think about other things that can make money, and I can't sit and eat the mountains and wait for the vegetables in the greenhouse.
"Mom, where are you taking Lele, dressed like a small zongzi."
"A few days ago, I was making a fuss about going to the mountains to pick up chestnuts, I don't have time, my family has spent so much money these days, thinking that picking up some chestnuts to sell, and I can also make up for your loophole." Huang Mu snorted a few times.
Here it is again, "Mom, what are you distressed about the money I paid, I haven't been distressed yet." ”
"What do you say, you are a loser, don't you earn our family's money, my flesh hurts, oops, no, no, when I think of this, my heart hurts."
Mom's slamming the door is similar to the miser's strict prisoner.
"I'll go with you." Just look at what other good things are in the mountains, selling chestnuts is indeed an income, and I don't know how the chestnut trees that have been nourished by the aura are good.
"If you don't open your mouth, I have to call you to go, earn back my greenhouse money, and go up the mountain to hunt chestnuts." When Huang Mu thought of what happened a few days ago, this anger blocked her chest again, and she roared angrily.
Well, it's full of energy, nothing wrong.
In addition to a forest on the hill behind their house, there are also a few chestnut trees, locust trees, winter jujube trees and the like, all of which were transplanted from the mountains by my father when they were young, and after more than ten years, they have long been able to bear fruit.
I have to say that these trees are really powerful, and the fruits that hang every winter are seven or eight hundred catties, not to mention that after so many years, they have bred so many seedlings, not to mention the yield.
Now is the season of chestnut fruiting, and it is estimated that it will be lost in a few days.
Lele was excited, he was finally going up the mountain after looking forward to it for so long, he held a small basket in his hand, and a pair of small gloves were placed in the basket, and no one let him help him, so he twisted his little ass and climbed up.
After all, when she was young, she grew up in the mountains, and with the blessing of her true qi, she walked like a fly, and left the four of them behind after a while.
The chestnut tree is in the place near the mountain col, there is a flat land there, and my father planted all the fruit trees there, standing on the stones, looking down, she saw a tall tree, lush, exuding the vitality of playing, in her eyes, it is the aura of the wood spirit that lingers in circles and circles.
Lele couldn't climb anymore, lying on Ruan Jingtian's back, seeing her, he shouted vigorously, "Auntie, auntie, don't run!" ”
"Grandpa, let's work harder, compare my aunt to down, rush!"
"Lele, don't make trouble, in this mountain, where is it easy to run, don't embarrass your grandfather, you want to chase your aunt, come down and run by yourself." Ruan Taoyuan slapped him on the buttocks.
"No, no, grandpa is on his back, Lele is tired, and he has no strength."
Suddenly, Lele pointed to the big tree in the distance and shouted, "Chestnut, chestnut, Lele's favorite chestnut, grandpa, you let Lele down, Lele is going to pick up chestnuts." ”
The child is making a fuss like this, and after a while, he said that he had no strength, and when he saw something new, the excitement came again, and I have to say, this child is really energetic.
"Lele, slow down." Ruan Taoyuan followed behind him, shouting.
"There is an aunt, Mom, don't worry about it." Lele didn't look back and ran away.
Several people are wearing rubber shoes under their feet, this mountain road is full of thorn bushes, one is not careful, it will be pierced into the shoes, only wearing rubber shoes, the feet can be protected from the pain of skin and flesh, but it will also be stuffy feet.
Ruan Qing carried Lele on his back and shuttled through the forest, like a deer in the forest, with brisk feet and no roughness.
As soon as I entered the forest, I remembered the sound of "rustling, rustling" in my ears, close to the mountain col, the style here is extraordinary, even if it is a tall chestnut tree, it also sways with the wind, and the wind blows, the chestnuts hanging on the tree are smashed down one by one, comparable to a falling object from a high altitude, which hurts to the brain.
Thanks to Ruan Qing's agility, he avoided the chestnut rain, "Wow, auntie, there are a lot of chestnuts." ”
There is no need to fight, the ground is densely packed with chestnuts, not to mention looking up, the fruits on the trees are full of hanging, there is no gap at all, the whole forest is covered in pitch black, black and pressed, I don't know I think it's going to rain.
"Auntie, I want to beat chestnuts, and I want to see chestnut rain." Lele was occupied by the scene just now, and wanted to enjoy a chestnut rain.
"Then you find a place to hide, put on your hat, and spread your umbrella." Ruan Qing was also eager to try, this tree full of chestnuts, she also wanted to hear that.
I found a stick in my hand and chose the largest chestnut tree, Ruan Qing held the stick in his hand, and with a "snap" sound, it knocked on the trunk, and the trunk made a "buzz" sound, and the whole tree trembled, and the woods suddenly sounded "Boom, Boom", those with thorny shells wrapped in fat chestnuts, like raindrops, crackling and falling to the ground, this pleasant sound, Ruan Qing listened to it very decompressed.
Seeing that no chestnuts had fallen, Lele came out of the side and shouted, "Comrade Xiao Ruan, are you safe?" ”
Looking at the little guy's scared and golden eyes, Ruan Qingle said, "It's safe, Captain Lele, you can come out." ”
In the past two days, they watched the PAW team again, and the kid was so fascinated that the family had to call him the orchestra leader.
After confirming that no chestnuts had fallen, Lele stepped on the cat's steps, squatting on the ground, the fleshy little face thief pulled cute, the chin was squeezed out, and the chubby little hands were wearing blue gloves, putting the chestnuts into the basket one by one.
"Auntie, it's like a little hedgehog, with thorns on the outside and a hard shell on the inside."
At this time, my parents also came, and Ruan Taoyuan followed, "How do I think there are more of them this year than last year." ”
Huang Mu smacked her tongue, looked at the chestnuts in the ground, and there were squirrels and other small things scurrying around in the forest, and felt that she should have brought a basket today, and the basket was simply too small, not enough to fit at all.
I heard that the chestnuts in this market are sold for seven or eight yuan a catty, and the chestnuts in this forest have to be sold for how much.
Suddenly, Huang Mu, who saw the money open, the haze that had been pressed in her heart for a few days lingered.
The smile on his face is going to the back of his ears.
