Xu Huaiyi's words of 'can survive the whole winter' are too inflammatory, the villagers are all enthusiastic when they listen to it, they are full of energy, looking at the overflowing acorn trees, their eyes are shining, this mountain is full of grain, or picked up for nothing, who can not be excited?

Some of the older ones were already weeping with joy.

There are also people who mutter, "There is no endless road to heaven......"

Village Chief Xu was also excited, and the voice he shouted out was agitated, "Don't be stunned, big guys, what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and hit the acorns and pull them hard at home! ”

At this order, the villagers immediately ran feverishly to the acorn trees, holding the pole and slapping it vigorously, the momentum, not only looking at the hot enthusiasm of the lover, but also like the fierce ferocity of the enemy, in short, the emotions are very complex and difficult to describe.

The corners of Xu Huaiyi's eyes twitched, and he also followed the general trend and led his son to get busy.

The acorn trees are tall and luxuriant, and there are many of them, so the villagers don't have to fight or rob, they are only busy with their own acres and three-points of land.

After a violent blow like a storm, the acorns crackled and fell to the ground like hailstones, and the children rushed over, picking them up into the basket with their hands and feet, and then pouring them into the sacks, and then repeating the same action until the sacks were no longer filled.

Village Chief Xu shouted at the top of his voice, "Leave the old and frail, responsible for beating acorns, the children help pick them up, the young and strong ones back back, don't be tired, don't be afraid of trouble, this is all life-saving food, carry it home is our own, I really can't hold it, don't hold it hard, I'm tired, but I put the cart before the horse, I have to rest, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, I just turn the brothers at home to each other, take turns to catch my breath......"

The villagers responded loudly, but their legs and feet ran as fast as ever.

"All of them have bright eyes, pay attention to the soles of their feet, if anyone falls and is injured, it is not worth it, and they will not be able to help the family at that time, and they will have to become a drag!"

This is true, and those who listen to it can't help but be a little more careful, and don't dare to be impatient and frizzy anymore, and only greedy for speed.

"Don't worry, there are mountains all over here, and you can still run with long legs? If you are greedy and chew more, each family should also weigh the situation of each family, how much you can eat, how much you can carry, otherwise, you will be tired from your busy work, and in the end you will not be able to take it away! Let's just eat enough, Huaiyi said, this acorn powder is handled, it is not numb or astringent, and it can only temporarily replace the food, it is not suitable for long-term eating, or wheat and beans to raise people, and the big guys have a number in their hearts......"

When everyone heard this, their enthusiasm did not diminish much, and they were still busy.

They can't think about the future at the moment, and they can't see the long-term, so they can get through the difficulties in front of them first, and then talk about it.

Therefore, the villagers went down the mountain again and again, even if they were tired and had sore backs and legs, they were happy.

Xu Huaiyi also carried it home twice, but he avoided everyone, took advantage of opportunism, saved the heavy process in the middle, and only made some efforts at both ends.

Rao is pretentious, he is also tired, especially his shoulders, carrying hundreds of pounds of sacks, the pressure is red and swollen, after all, he can save some strength to carry the bag with the help of the RV, but he still has to walk with his legs and feet, which cannot be saved in any way.

Gu Huanxi felt distressed, so he persuaded, "Don't carry it back, there are only a few people in our family, and we can't eat too much, so there's no need." ”

Xu Huaiyi estimated the load of the mule cart, poured a few mouthfuls of water, and stood up again, "I'll go and carry it again, at least I have to make up for the little amount consumed on the road before, otherwise, I won't be able to fool outsiders." ”

Gu Huanxi swallowed back the words that he was about to say.

When Xu Huaiyi left, he also felt sorry for her, "You just deal with it, just do it, wait for me to come back, I'll clean it up slowly, you accompany our daughter to play in the car." ”

Gu Huanxi nodded perfunctorily, he took the men up the mountain to beat acorns tiredly, and the women stayed at home and were busy like spinning tops without stopping, no matter how big her heart was, she was embarrassed to go into the car to hide and relax.

She taught the women how to deal with acorns without bitterness, fetched water from the well, soaked them over and over again, dried them again, removed the shells, until they were ground into powder, and after sifting, they were acorn noodles, which could be directly steamed and rolled noodles, or mixed with other grains to eat, and then finer, they could also be made into acorn tofu, mixed with seasonings, which could be used as a vegetable and a staple food, and the taste was better.

From the morning, busy to the afternoon, these things, not too strenuous but very cumbersome, the same without any steps can not work, especially the test of patience and careful, not good handling, the acorn noodles made are not only bitter, but also rough, difficult to swallow.

The taste is not affected by the main thing, the most important thing is that eating it like that can cause symptoms such as indigestion and even allergies.

If that's the case, it will go against Xu Huaiyi's original intention, and good intentions will do bad things.

Therefore, Gu Huanxi repeatedly told him several times, he must soak for a long enough time, and he can't be greedy for speed, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses.

The women are basically obedient, there are a few disappreciative voices, and they are quickly forced to press down by the people in the family.

It was getting late, and when Xu Huaiyi came back, he didn't carry a sack, but used a simple small trailer and dragged it with a hemp rope.

Gu Xiaoyu followed behind, his little face was flushed, his forehead was full of sweat, his eyes were still bright and bright, he was carrying a chicken in one hand and a basket in the other, and the basket was filled with chestnuts with burrs.

Gu Huanxi had already prepared food and drink, first handed over the warm soy milk, and then stuffed a piece of chestnut cake into the mouths of the two of them, and waited for the two of them to cushion their stomachs and relieve their breath before urging them to take a bath.

There is also a place for bathing, and their family of four has a separate room, of course, it is the kind of stone house without a roof, but it is enough to have a shelter.

Gu Huanxi sat outside, guarding the door, while handling the chickens brought back, planning to make a chestnut stew at night, which was delicious and replenished.

When the two of them came out refreshingly, the chicken was already stewed in the casserole, the flames licked the bottom of the pot, the chicken soup was bubbling, and the fragrance hooked the gluttonous worms in the stomach, but soothed the fatigue of the whole body.

Xu Huaiyi leaned comfortably on the recliner, teasing his waking daughter.

Gu Xiaoyu sat next to Gu Huanxi, sat on the horse, and told her about the trivial things that happened on the mountain, and did not forget to add firewood in her hands.

Gu Huanxi listened patiently, and occasionally asked a question, no matter how boring it was, the two of them talked carefully next to each other like this, and they actually found it interesting.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the villagers have rushed back one after another, and those who see this scene will inevitably feel a little envious, and they can't tell what they are envious, but they are strangely hot.
