As soon as Xu Qingmu and his family got home, they hurriedly closed the door, and then changed their smiling faces.

As soon as the Xu Shuxin sisters saw this, they knew that the matter of selling mushrooms was done.

"Dad, how much did you sell for?" Xu Shuyan couldn't wait to ask.

Xu Shuxin intimately brought cool boiling water to her father and mother with her eldest sister.

"Daddy, you drink water first." Xu Shuxin said.

"Thank you Yueyue and Xinxin."

Xu Qingmu took the bowl and poured it into his mouth tons by tons.

He walked all the way, but he died of thirst.

Cui Lanhua is the same, she finished drinking a bowl and handed the bowl to Xu Shuyue, "Boss, pour another bowl for my mother." ”

Xu Shuyue took the bowl and asked her father, "Dad, do you still want it?" ”

Xu Qingmu waved his hand, "No need." ”

Xu Shuyue went to pour water.

Xu Qingmu sat under the eaves of the hall and was not in a hurry to speak.

After the eldest girl came back from pouring water, she opened her mouth to tell the story of selling mushrooms from the beginning.

"Didn't your eldest sister and my younger sister and I save someone on the day we came back? I thought that since we had all gone to the commune, it would be better to go and see him, your grandfather Zhao was still lying in the hospital, and a family member of a patient in the same ward as him saw that our fungus was good, so they all bought it, and the price given was higher than in the supply and marketing cooperative. ”

Cui Lanhua nodded, "Your father left some fungi for Grandpa Zhao, and the rest was sold to that person, and your Grandpa Zhao also helped negotiate the price, and in the end it was four cents a catty, I heard that the price of the black market can reach five cents or even six cents, but the black market is dangerous, and your Grandpa Zhao asked us not to go." ”

Xu Shuxin nodded, "We can't take risks." ”

Although their family is having a hard time now, it is not worth the risk.

But it would be nice to know someone who specializes in the black market, so that you don't have to venture into the black market yourself, and you can sell good things to each other if you have something in your hand.

Although the price will be lower than selling on the black market, it is safe.

Xu Shuxin guessed that the person who bought all of Daddy's chicken fir mushrooms may be in the black market, even if he is not in the black market, what he did should be related to speculation.

Otherwise, who in ordinary people will buy so many fungi at once?

Sure enough, the next second her father said, "The man secretly told me that if I find something fresh in the future, I can take it to him, and he will accept it." ”

"Then Dad, take us up the mountain after work, bring Xinxin with you, we will definitely find good things!" Xu Shuyan answered immediately.

Xu Shuxin nodded.

There are not a lot of good things in the mountains, and their home is close to the mountains, so wouldn't it be stupid not to take advantage of such good conditions?

Xu Qingmu was also moved, but he was still worried about the danger in the mountains.

There may be few tigers, but wild boars and poisonous snakes are real, and in the past, every autumn, wild boars came down the mountain to harm the crops.

That is, in recent years, the militia of the brigade has organized hunting, and there are fewer wild boars going down the mountain.

"Dad, let's not go into the mountains, just look outside, aren't there many people in the team looking for mushrooms and chopping firewood on the periphery?" Xu Shuxin persuaded him.

Xu Shuyan also nodded wildly, "Yes, Dad, as long as you don't go into the mountains, it's really not that dangerous." ”

Seeing that the girls wanted to go, he had to agree.

But even if you say yes, you won't be able to go right away.

Xu Qingmu took out all the money from selling mushrooms and asked a few girls to count.

The seven sisters, one for each and me, finally counted out a full four yuan.

"Ten pounds of those mushrooms?" Xu Shuxin asked.

Xu Qingmu replied, "After leaving some for Grandpa Zhao, it was almost ten catties, and the other party gave some." ”

After counting the money, Xu Shuxin and the others became more eager to go to the mountains to find good things.

But it's useless to be urgent, because they still have to work.

Only when they go to work can they have food to eat, so it is not okay not to go to work.

Because there is meat to eat at night, whether it is Xu Shuyue or Xu Qingmu, they are very energetic to work.

The people who were farming with him next to him looked at Xu Shuyue, who was quick with his hands and feet, and couldn't help but say to Cui Lanhua: "Now that you are separated, the children can eat enough, and it is really good to work." ”

Cui Lanhua didn't know how to answer when she heard this.

If you want to say yes, doesn't it mean that her parents-in-law abused her children when they didn't separate from the family?

Although it is true, if this word reaches the ears of the people on the other side of the old mansion, it will be another right and wrong.

Cui Lanhua is very satisfied with the peaceful days now, and she doesn't want to provoke the people over there.

Therefore, she just smiled and did not speak.

The man obviously knew what kind of character Cui Lanhua was, and he didn't expect her to answer, so he went to talk to others after saying this.

Farm work is hard work, and if you only know how to work with your head and don't find something to share your energy, you will feel even more tired.

So the man couldn't stop talking, and he went to talk to the others again.

In the evening, the smell of meat came from Xu Qingmu's house.

Fortunately, their family lives on the edge of the village, far away from other families, Cui Lanhua specially closed the doors and windows of the kitchen tightly when she stewed rabbits, and the fragrance did not spread much.

The rabbit was skinned and cut into small pieces.

Cui Lanhua's cooking skills are not very good, just put salt and marinate for a while, and then add water to stew.

She didn't even put the oil, because there was only a little bit of oil at home, and it was still given by the third grandmother's family, and she was reluctant to put it.

The family can't buy an iron pot now, it's still the same clay pot, and Cui Lanhua stewed the rabbit meat and added wild vegetables directly to it.

The third grandmother's house had a small table with a broken leg, and Xu Qingmu took it over and tinkered with it, and it became their family's dinner table.

It's just that the stool hasn't been made yet, and the family can only stand around the dining table to eat.

When the meal was put on the table, Xu Shuxin's eyes lit up.

After Xu Qingmu said that he could start and picked up a piece of meat by himself, the sisters went to the rabbit meat clip.

Xu Shuyu's meat was reluctant to eat when it reached his mouth, but took a deep breath, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Xu Shuyue said to her, "Are you satisfied just by smelling it?" If you don't hurry up, we'll all finish the meat in a while, and you won't have anything to eat. ”

That being said, she didn't grab the meat, nor did she pull it into her bowl.

Not only Xu Shuyue, but also the following ones, did not appear to grab food.

A hare weighs at most three pounds after peeling the skin and removing the internal organs, and when it is cut into small pieces, one person does not get much meat.

But in addition to the rabbit meat on the first chopsticks, the sisters took the initiative to pick up wild vegetables later.

Because it is cooked with meat, wild vegetables, which are usually difficult to eat, become delicious.

Looking at the sensible appearance of the girls, Xu Qingmu was very pleased.

He said, "Eat them all, and if there is any meat or fish in the future, we will all stay and eat." ”

Xu Shuyu was the first to disagree, "That's not good, let's sell it for money." ”

At this meal, the Xu Shuxin sisters were very satisfied.

Especially Xu Shuyu, if it weren't for the bones that she couldn't eat, she wanted to swallow the bones.

She sighed, "If only I could have meat to eat every day in the future!" ”
