Chapter 40, the heart is firm
"Grandma, this thing is really edible. Mei Xue said with a look of surprise.
"Of course, these things are all over the ground, everywhere, you see, it's all over the hills behind here. He pointed to the back wall of the house that he had dug out of his house. 、
Mei Xue swallowed the iron loquat after a few chews, "Grandma, these things are much sweeter than those fruits sold on the street." ”
"No, the fruit on the street sells so expensive, it's sweet and watery, it's much better than the fruit. When Grandma He heard Mei Xue's words, she was very happy.
No one is happier than others liking things from their village.
It's like getting a kind of recognition.
"Milk, I'll pick more and use it as fruit for you. "The village eats wild fruits from the mountains, and to be honest, there is really nothing sweet, all with a hint of sourness.
Of course, this is also Mei Xue's own imagination.
"No, you can pick it if you like it, there are more delicious fruits in the mountains, and in a few days, the plums and grapes, plums, and oranges on the mountain can be eaten, if you like it, grandma will take you to pick it at that time." ”
There is a lot to eat in the mountains, and you can find something to eat almost all year round.
That's why the children they gave birth to here survived the catastrophe in those years.
It's not so easy outside, didn't Mei Xue and her family come to the next village to escape the disaster at that time?
When she heard her grandmother say that there were so many delicious foods, Mei Xue's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I see it." ”
"Haha, you don't know where it grows, you see, isn't there a sour orange tree in front of our yard, that thing quenches your thirst, it's too sour. ”
Grandma He began to count the wild fruit trees she found to Mei Xue.
Like who's family has any fruit trees, she knows it very well.
After listening, Mei Xue's eyes lit up even more.
"Grandma, what can I eat now?" this is what Mei Xue is most concerned about.
"What you can eat now is plums, but it's still a little sour, if you want to eat it, it's okay, and grandma will take you to your grandmother's house in a while, she has a white plum tree at home, I think I can eat it, it's not so sour." ”
White plum is the same as bayberry, it is a plum, but it is white when it is ripe, and the people in the village call it white plum.
At first, it is the same as a normal plum, it is all blue, and the more ripe it is, the whiter it becomes, and it is not sour.
"Yes, yes. "Mei Xue is very happy.
But if Grandma doesn't pick these iron loquat on the ground, then don't pick them, anyway, she doesn't like to eat sweet things.
After explaining Mei Xue's doubts, Grandma He went to work on the pigweed again, and Mei Xue also went to help Grandma light the fire after cleaning all around.
Keep the pig food in it, and it can be used to feed the pigs at night.
I have to say that the pigs in the village are very finely raised.
No worse than people.
After the family work was cleaned up, Mei Xue went directly to the grandmother with her grandmother.
When the grandmother heard that they were going to pick plums, she was reluctant.
Who is Mei Xue, she can see through the thoughts of the eldest grandmother at a glance.
Immediately told my grandmother that it was too hot and that we would go back in the afternoon.
Went straight home with my grandmother.
Grandma He still didn't understand what Mei Xue meant, "Your grandma is such a person, forget it, forget it, grandma will take you to the mountain behind your Xilian aunt to see the big bayberry tree in her house, if it's ripe, you can pick some and taste it." ”
Grandma He is actually quite uncomfortable in her heart, this sister-in-law is still so unliable.
If it's herself, forget it, but thanks to her Xiaoxue, it won't work.
"In the future, you will not go forward to make up for your grandmother's side. She couldn't say it if it was too obvious, but it was still okay not to let Xiaoxue suffer this anger.
"Well, it's all up to grandma. Mei Xue nodded, "Milk, don't we have plum trees on our own mountain?" If you have it at home, you don't need to ask your grandmother to beg others.
"Yes, but it's not very cooked, and it's a little sour to pick it up and eat it now, why don't you take it to see it?"
Of course, Mei Xue had no opinion, "Okay, grandma, let's get ready, let's go up the mountain." "She hasn't been to her own mountain yet.
Speaking of this, Grandma He thought of one thing, "Xiaoxue, when Junqi comes back, let him accompany you to move your household registration, and then you can also get to Tianshan Mountain, even if it is not much, but it is not your own, and you will not go back often if you put it in the next village." ”
Mei Xue really didn't know about this. "Grandma, do I still have land at home? Why haven't I heard my mother talk about it?"
As soon as she heard Mei Xue's words, Grandma He patted her own mind, "Look, I forgot, your parents are not locals, and there must be no land, but you also have to move your hukou over, and you can divide the land in the village when the time comes." ”
Married into their Hejia Village is the person of Hejia Village, and the village will definitely divide the fields and mountains for Xiaoxue.
In the past two years, there have been a lot of people in the village who have married off, and the idle fields and mountains can be divided.
One in and one out, very reasonable.
"Well, it's all up to grandma. Mei Xue was very happy that she could still get the land, which I really didn't expect.
The mother-in-law and grandson went out with two small baskets on their backs.
After they went out, a figure watched not far away, with some regret and struggle in his eyes, but none of these affected the two who went out.
There are two mountains in Grandma He's family, one is near and the other is dangerous, but they are busy working on the nearby mountain on weekdays.
Of course, the dangerous mountain is not that it is dangerous, but that it is close to the deepest mountain range, where there is the famous Wolf Mountain, and legend has it that there are wolves there.
When she came to the place where the creek diverted, Grandma He took Mei Xue to the fork of the creek, "Xiaoxue, we have to take this path." ”
Mei Xue looked at it, the mountains here are not high, and the trees on the mountain are small, all of them are small trees and vines.
"Grandma, are you tired, do you want to rest for a while?" Mei Xue said with some worry.
Grandma He shook her head, "What is this road, I think back then, grandma could call back and forth a few times a day." Grandma He gasped and whispered to Xiaoxue.
A kind of show-off, you know.
Mei Xue only smiled silently, and took out a bamboo bucket from her back basket, a small section is a kettle made by the people in the village, "Grandma, drink some water." ”
All she brings from home is space water, which can greatly improve her grandmother's system, but it won't be solved in a while, but she has slowly added a lot to the house.
Wait, and by next year Grandma's body will be in the best condition.
Taking the pot in Xiaoxue's hand, Grandma He drank most of it unceremoniously, the mountains are full of water, and she will fill it after drinking.
"It's much better to drink water, let's go, we have to come back early, or lunch will be delayed." Grandma He said with a smile.
With the replenishment of space water, Grandma He walked much easier this time than just now.
