Gu Huayue snuggled in Zhu Yanqu's arms, smiling sweetly, "Auntie, what are we going to do next?" ”

Zhu Yanqu hugged her and lowered his eyes to look at her.

Her eyelashes were long, blinking slightly, and her grape-like eyes were more agile.

Hua Yue is like a sister for seven points, especially when she laughs, her expression is very similar.

Holding the continuation of his sister, Zhu Yanqu's nose was slightly sour, "The sky is clear, go find some game." ”

Gu Huayue bowed her head obediently, "Mmmm, let's go find hairy potatoes and dig bamboo shoots." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yanqu gently stroked Gu Huayue's hair and stroked her eyebrows.

Gu Huayue raised her head to look at her aunt and saw that her aunt's eyes were slightly red.

"Go change your shoes."

Gu Huayue followed Zhu Yanqu to the bamboo shoe rack, and took a pair of black, white and red animal skins to change into.

Zhu Yanqu looked at Zhu Xingguo and Zhou Dongsheng, who were also changing shoes, and suddenly thought of something.

"There are many villagers who don't want their children to learn the language of the wild aborigines, because there are not many students."

Zhu Xingguo had a question, "Then, do you still want to learn?" ”

Zhu Yanqu lowered her eyelids, probably because she thought it was easy for her to learn, and the villagers felt that they would not have anything to do with the barbarian natives.

simply don't ask the child to go to school, and pay two pennies.

The invited master could get twenty wen a month for four or five hours a day, just to speak to the foreigners.

all politely rejected Yan Qingzhong, and even the three daughters invited had the intention of retreating.

You can't force people to do it.

Yan Qingzhong told Xi Quan, and Xi Quan sighed.

Zhu Yanqu didn't hear about this matter again, "It depends on the situation!" ”

"Okay." Zhu Xingguo nodded and turned to look at Zhou Dongsheng.

-

"Yanqu."

Outside the house, there was a voice of ingenuity.

Zhu Xingguo went to open the door and saw a lot of people walking towards the entrance of the village.

All of them have a happy face, carrying a bamboo basket in their hands, carrying a basket on their shoulders, and walking lightly.

Yan Qiaoxin stood at the door of the house, and beside her stood a middle-aged woman and a woman she had never seen before.

He only knew his mother.

Zhu Xingguo turned around, went to see Zhu Yanqu who had already come, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

Zhu Yanqu gently pushed Gu Huayue to Zhu Xingguo's side, and whispered to Gu Huayue, "Huayue, let Brother Rang lead you." ”

Zhu Yanqu watched many people go to the entrance of the village, raised his feet and walked in front of Yan Qiaoxin, "Where are you going?" ”

"I found white taro and sweet potatoes three miles away, and my uncle asked everyone to dig them."

Zhu Yanqu lifted the basket at the door and looked at the three children, "Let's go too." ”

"Okay." The three children nodded, holding hands happily, and walked in front of the adults.

Yan Qiaoxin looked at Zhu Yanqu with partial eyes and snorted.

In the end, because my mother and sister-in-law were there, I didn't ask.

Zhu Yanqu noticed it, tilted his head to look at her, and saw that her expression was wrong.

I had to suppress the doubts in my heart and follow them into the pine forest in front of the village entrance.

It's remote here, and it's too far to go back and forth, so Zhu Yanqu hasn't been here.

Hunting, looking for wild vegetables and fruits, are basically in the back mountain bamboo forests, pine forests, and the mountains after the wasteland.

The plants in the forest were lush and misty because of the rain.

The ground was covered with moss and fallen pine needles.

Intricate shoe prints, bypassing animal droppings.

From time to time, Zhu Yanqu reminded the three lively children to pay attention to the safety of their feet.

Out of the pine forest, and then over the weedy flats.

Facing the dazzling light reflected in the layers of dark clouds.

After walking for nearly half an hour, I came to a misty forest.

Verdant grasses, shrubs, bushes among thorns.

As far as the eye can see, sweet potatoes and potatoes grow.

The clumps of tubers have fat leaves, and red tubers emerge from the fertile soil.

The villagers scattered and went to dig, humming a little song as they went.

Yan Qiaoxin, her mother, and her second sister-in-law all went to the south to dig sweet potatoes.

After walking a few steps, he found that Zhu Yanqu was still in place, his eyes were erviant.

Hurriedly turned back and walked to her side, "Yanqu, let's dig some roots and go back!" ”

Zhu Yanqu looked at her sideways, walked to the potato and squatted down, pulling up the rhizome on it, revealing the fat fruit wrapped in black soil.

"What's your name?"

"Sweet potato," Yan Qiaoxin replied, frowning at Zhu Yanqu.

"Where's this?" Zhu Yanqu pulled up the sweet potato vine and used a wooden stick to dig out the old roots in the soil.

Sincere eyes looked at her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"White taro." Yan Qiaoxin's eyes trembled slightly, and there was doubt in her eyes.

She also put down the bamboo basket and squatted down, looked at the white taro in the black soil, reached out to pick one up, and patted the soil on it.

"It's all old, so I can only use it to raise seedlings."

Zhu Yanqu raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qiaoxin's delicate eyes, "Qiaoxin, you have been here for so long, it is the first time you have discovered this?" ”

"Well, I grew up in the field, and I know what white taro looks like, this forest, I've been here a few times, but I haven't seen it, but this morning Uncle told us that there are a lot of white taro and sweet potatoes growing here."

She frowned slightly, stared at Zhu Yanqu, and whispered, "I know you have questions, but now, only by living here, maybe, after a long time, we will have an answer." ”

Zhu Yanqu lifted his eyelids, thinking a lot, "Answer? ”

The solemn gaze moved away from Yan Qiaoxin's haggard face.

I pulled out the sweet potato vines and put them in a bamboo basket, and dug up the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Walking towards Zhuangyuanshu, he told the three children who followed him to watch their steps.

Zhu Xingguo noticed that the villagers in Zhaohua Village did not dig the champion potatoes, and he asked in a low voice, "Why don't they dig this?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Yanqu shook his head, squatted down and dug up the roots with bud points, and put them in the bamboo basket.

Yan Qiaoxin dug up the required roots, and walked over to Zhu Yanqu with a bamboo basket.

Yan Qiaoxin was gently pushed by her second sister-in-law Yang Honglan, and she looked sideways at her second sister-in-law in confusion.

I saw the second sister-in-law pouting to Zhu Yanqu Nunu.

Yan Qiaoxin looked at Zhu Yanqu's thin back, walked to her and squatted down, watching her clean the dirt on the purple-red roots.

"Yanqu, this smell is unpleasant and smelly."

"This is the champion potato, you can eat it."

Zhu Yanqu looked at the clear, black and white eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "It grows faster, and it can be used as fodder." ”

Zhu Yanqu raised his eyes to look at Yan Qiaoxin, "What you said smelled bad was Nan Jiang, which was similar to it." ”

Zhu Yanqu has had an extensive understanding of agricultural production in the local area when he studied the local dialects.

In addition, there is an analysis of planting techniques for each type of crop in the [Treasure Pavilion], so it is more thorough to understand.

Yan Qiaoxin was silent for a moment, and looked up to look at her mother and second sister-in-law.

Xu Manyue looked at her daughter's eyes, and hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Girl, how to plant this when you dig it back?" ”

"It grows at will, and it can survive in barren land." Zhu Yanqu's voice fell.

I saw that Yan Qiaoxin and Xu Manyue dug a few plants and put them in the bamboo basket.

"We believe in girls," Xu Manyue smiled and looked approvingly at her little daughter.

Compared with those daughters who all make a living from farming and are picky in every way, they have a good impression of Zhu Yanqu.
