Chapter 52: Hazel Mushroom Picking
The two went up the mountain from a nearby path, with Lu Fengqin leading the way in front and Su Mo following behind.
The mountain here belongs to a section of the Wanda Mountain Range, called Bukai Mountain.
The Lujia Village Production Brigade is distributed horizontally along the foot of Bukai Mountain. From the head of the village to the end of the village, there are several paths up the mountain, so I didn't meet anyone else along the way.
While walking, Su Mo chatted with Lu Fengqin: "Fengqin, have you gone to school?" ”
"Yes, it's the second grade." Lu Fengqin said, a little proud. Many girls in the brigade didn't go to school, but she did.
At this time, children go to school late, and most of them are sent to school at the age of eight or nine. At this time, elementary school was a five-year system, a two-year junior high school system, and a two-year high school system.
"Then why didn't you go to school today?" If she skips school in order to accompany her to the autumn harvest, then she is guilty.
"It's still the autumn harvest holiday, and it will take two days to resume school." Lu Fengqin said.
At this time, education is more casual, and schools in rural areas will have a long autumn harvest holiday when the autumn harvest arrives.
"Oh, how much does it cost you to go to school?" Su Mo was a little curious.
"Tuition and miscellaneous fees are one dollar a semester, and books are five cents, and one semester is five cents." Lu Fengqin said.
Su Mo nodded, that was really not expensive. You must know that in later generations, there are many sky-high aristocratic schools, and kindergartens are also very expensive, and the common people also jokingly call them "preschool college students", which means that the tuition fee for kindergarten for a year is more expensive than that of college students.
"Did your brother and sister go to school?"
"The second sister didn't go, I'll go again next year, and the eldest brother went this year." The second sister Lu Fengqin said refers to her sister Lu Aiqin, and the eldest brother refers to Lu Weiguo's eldest son Lu Guodong.
Both of them are 7 years old, and the male goes to school a year earlier than the female, although the Lu family is not patriarchal, but in the overall atmosphere, it is still a little more male.
"So where did they go? Why don't you go to harvest autumn together? ”
"The second sister and the eldest brother went to hunt pigweed." Lu Fengqin said that if she didn't want to take her third aunt to harvest autumn, she would also have to go to pigweed to earn work.
Su Mo was embarrassed, it seemed that she delayed Lu Fengqin to fight pigweed.
"By the way, what kind of pigweed are you shooting? Is it a particular kind of grass? ”
Su Mo was very curious when she read the novel, every novel says that pigweed, what is this pigweed?
Lu Fengqin pursed her lips and snickered, the third aunt is really from a big city, and she doesn't even know about pigweed.
"There are many kinds of pigweed, as long as the pig can eat it, it can be. We generally look for chickweed, purslane, folded ear root, bitter horseweed, ryegrass, those old people do not eat camellia, can also be dug up as pigweed. Lu Fengqin still answered carefully.
Su Mo smiled embarrassedly, "The third aunt hasn't seen this, so I'm a little curious." ”
"It's okay, my mother said, the third aunt came from a big city, it's normal not to know this."
The two chatted all the way, and after more than half an hour, they came to the periphery of Bukai Mountain. At this time, the leaves also begin to yellow, it is the most beautiful season, the whole mountain is turned on the color mode, yellow yellow, red red, green green, colorful people feel like they are in the painting.
Whether it is the original owner or Su Mo, they are all southerners, and it is rare to see such a beautiful scenery, so I can't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful!" ”
Lu Fengqin looked around, but she didn't see where the beauty came from.
"Third aunt, are you going to pick hazel mushrooms?" Lu Fengqin asked.
"Yes, but it's not necessarily hazelnut mushrooms, you can pick whatever you have." Su Mo said.
In the forest, feeling the rich wood-based energy around him, Su Mo's whole person was comfortable.
"Well, I know where there are hazelnut mushrooms, I picked them some time ago, and there are many small ones there. Third aunt, I'll take you there. After Lu Fengqin finished speaking, she led the way in front.
Su Mo hurriedly followed, and as he walked, he also reached out and kept touching the plants around him to absorb energy.
Ten or twenty minutes later, Lu Fengqin took Su Mo to a shady slope, "Third aunt, this is it, I was here some time ago, picking a large basket of hazelnut mushrooms. ”
Su Mo nodded, the two of them found it in this area, and soon found a piece of hazelnut mushrooms, although it was sparse, but there were a lot of them, and the two hurriedly squatted down to mine.
Soon, both of them were covered with a layer of hazelnut mushrooms on their back baskets.
At this time, there was a sound of talking not far away, and three little girls came chattering, and when they saw Lu Fengqin, they raised their voices and shouted: "Lu Fengqin, what are you doing there?" Is it hazel mushroom picking? ”
When Lu Fengqin heard the voice, she quickly stood up, stretched out her hands, and looked like a guard: "Lu Lanhua, this place was discovered by us first, you go to other places to find it." ”
Lu Lanhua pursed her lips disdainfully, "The mountain belongs to everyone, why can't we pick what you find." As he spoke, he continued on his way.
When she got closer, she found that the person next to Lu Fengqin was not her sister, but a good-looking adult.
"Lu Fengqin, who is this person?"
"My third aunt." Lu Fengqin straightened her chest, her third uncle was the pride of their family.
Everyone in Lujia Village knew that Lu Changzheng was an officer, and the children were afraid of him, so they were a little frightened by Su Mo, the officer's wife. Seeing that Su Mo didn't speak, but just looked at them fixedly, the three of them all retreated.
"Then you can pick it, let's go and have a look elsewhere." After Lu Lanhua finished speaking, she took the other two away.
"How often do they bully you?" After the person left, Su Mo asked in a low voice.
"No, the main thing is that her milk doesn't deal with my milk, so she doesn't deal with me either." Lu Fengqin said. Her father is the branch secretary, her father is an accountant, and the third uncle is still an officer, and there are really not many children in the team who dare to bully her.
Lu Lanhua is Li Cuihua's eldest granddaughter.
"Third aunt, let's hurry up and pick it, otherwise someone will come again in a while." Lu Fengqin said.
"Okay, then we'll divide the mining, I'll look for this side, you look for that side." Su Mo said.
After separating from Lu Fengqin, Su Mo was looking for hazel mushrooms while absorbing the wood-based energy of the weeds on the ground and the surrounding trees.
The weeds are going to die in the winter anyway, so she absorbs them all, and she absorbs about one-fifth of the trees in each tree, leaving them enough energy to survive the winter. Some look at the tree that is not very vibrant, and she will secretly send some energy to it.
After finding the hazel mushroom, wherever there was mycelium around it, Su Mo would use the ability to spawn, and soon, another hazel mushroom grew out of the ground. While picking it up, Su Mo put most of the hazelnut mushrooms into the space, and only a small part was put into the back basket.
After finding all this slope, Su Mo's back basket already has most of the back basket, and it is estimated that there are two back baskets in the space.
At this time, Lu Fengqin also shouted in the distance, "Third aunt, have you finished looking over there?" ”
"I don't have it anymore, but what about you?" Su Mo said as she walked towards Lu Fengqin.
"I'm done with that." Lu Fengqin responded. The children who are used to turning in the mountains are extremely fast, and soon, Lu Fengqin arrived at Su Mo's side.
"Third aunt, how much did you pick?"
Su Mo put down the back basket and showed it to her, Lu Fengqin was very happy to see that most of the back basket was completed, and the task given to her by her grandmother could be completed.
"I also have a half-back basket." Lu Fengqin also handed her back basket to Su Mo to see.
"It's not too early, let's go back first." Su Mo said, the time is almost 11 o'clock, and it will take an hour to walk back from here.
After arriving home, Su Mo asked Lu Fengqin to wait in the yard for a while, and she went back to the house, pretending to be from the house, but in fact, she took a small handful of about seven or eight fruit candies from the space to Lu Fengqin.
Lu Fengqin was very happy to see that there were so many fruit candies, and went home happily.
Before leaving, he shouted loudly: "Third aunt, I will take you to pick pine nuts and chestnuts and walnuts in the afternoon." ”
