The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 4 Chicken Feet Fruit

In the east wing, the Dafang family who were guarding Zhao Youliang didn't know what was happening in the main room.

"Brother, when will you return to the academy?"

Carefully feeding her father the spring water in the bowl, Zhao Yunxi turned around and saw his two silent brothers.

The two silent brothers looked at the bed together, and Zhao Youliang turned around to see it.

He whispered: "I'm fine now. You go back to the academy first. Boss, prepare well for next year's exam. The hope of the family lies in you."

"Dad, you have a good rest, I know that. I will go back to the academy when you feel better. Don't worry about the exam!"

After hearing the eldest son's affirmative answer, Zhao Youliang closed his eyes and rested peacefully.

After a while, slight snoring was heard in the quiet room. The three siblings quietly exited the room.

Seeing that the confidence and vitality of the day were obviously gone, Zhao Yunxi stepped forward and took his eldest brother's young, slender but warm and strong hand.

Zhao Yunzheng, who was looking at the night sky in deep contemplation, looked at the little man beside him. His heart, which had been impetuous just a second ago, was now calm.

The three siblings were sitting in the yard, enjoying the tranquility of the summer night sky with their eyes closed. The breeze blows on my face, and the worries in my heart seem to be blown away by the evening breeze.

The next morning, Zhao Yunzheng, who was having breakfast, asked to go back to the academy. Reading is business, so Old Zhaotou naturally has no reason to object.

After the meal, Brother Zhao Yunzheng went back to the house to pack his luggage. Zhao Yuntong said to Zhao Yunxi: "Xiaojiu, let's go to the woods to find mountain products later. Then we will sell them to my uncle to buy supplements."

The breeze rustled the leaves. The forest to the east of Shatin Village was a place where villagers often went to cut firewood and collect mountain products.

Zhao Yuntong took Xiaojiu's hand and jumped up and down in the forest. Zhao Yunxi ran in the woods for a while, breathing in the fresh air, and the annoyance in his heart was reduced a lot.

Looking at the constant changes in the mottled tree shadows in front of him, Zhao Yunxi suddenly felt eyes staring at him from behind, and he was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up.

Turning around suddenly, I could vaguely see a person hiding in the adult-sized tree not far away. Zhao Yunxi hid under the tree trunk, walked around the tree from behind, and stretched out his hand to pull out the person behind the tree.

The person hiding behind the tree was startled. He didn't expect to be discovered. He looked at Zhao Yunxi with panic in his eyes and ran away involuntarily.

Zhao Yunxi looked puzzled at the thin Zhao Yunxuan who was wearing coarse cloth and many patched clothes.

"Second sister, what are you doing behind us?"

The woman said timidly: "I was watching you go into the forest, and I was worried about you. If you don't want me to follow, I'll leave right now."

As he spoke, he stirred the hem of his clothes with his hands, and then raised his feet to leave.

Zhao Yunxi grabbed the panicked woman and said, "Second sister, if you want to join us, just tell us directly. It's a bit scary for you to follow us like this."

Zhao Yunxi looked at the timid and timid second sister, who did not have a strong sense of presence in the family.

The third uncle and the third aunt preferred the eldest daughter and doted on the younger son. Zhao Yunxuan, the second child, received less attention and love.

Zhao Yunxuan held a stick to clear the way ahead, and the three people walking together in the forest found a lot of wild animals.

After walking for a while, Zhao Yunxuan suddenly stopped in front of a big tree and kicked off her shoes neatly.

He spread his hands and spit some saliva, then rubbed his hands together. He hugged the trunk and climbed up. After a while, he climbed to a tree trunk. He sat down with his legs spread, reached for the brown and ugly fruit, picked it and ate it. Zhao Yunxi looked at the big tree that was more than ten meters high in front of him and was dumbfounded by the second sister's operation.

Zhao Yunxuan threw the bundled branches down the tree trunk and said, "Wuyue Xiaojiu, get out of the way, don't hit you. This is a chicken claw fruit. I've eaten it before and it's edible."

As soon as the two heard this, they looked at each other under the tree, ran towards the tree, kicked off their shoes and climbed up. Zhao Yunxuan looked at the operations of the two sisters and shouted in fear from the tree.

She shouted in horror: "Don't come up, I'll pick it for you. Xiaojiu, get down quickly, you two will fall down later."

Zhao Yunxi didn't listen at all. He held the tree trunk with both hands and stepped hard with his feet. After stepping firmly, he stretched his left and right hands upwards alternately. Then his stomach and buttocks surged upwards, and his feet moved upwards.

Zhao Yunxi climbed the tree after learning the way of a caterpillar. Zhao Yuntong followed and climbed up in the same way.

Zhao Yunxuan watched the two sisters climb up smoothly and took a deep breath. She touched her heart and said fearfully: "Xiaojiu, if you are injured, I will definitely get beaten when I go back."

Zhao Yunxi sat obediently on the tree trunk, holding her legs tightly together. She was afraid of death, right? Said: "Don't worry! I'm still very good at climbing trees."

Zhao Yunxi suddenly thought of something. If this thing is edible, it must also be sold.

Think "get rich" silently in your mind

"Get rich, I've never seen this thing before. What is it?"

Zhao Yunxi asked the system.

"Back to the host, after scanning, it turns out that this tree is the Hovenia truncatula tree. Its fruits can be eaten raw, or brewed into wine to make wine. The seeds inside the fruits also have high medical value."

As he spoke, he called up the information for Zhao Yunxi to check.

Thoughts flashed quickly, since it has so many uses, it can't be sold. This thing is wild, so you just need to put some effort into picking it back. If you can't sell it at the market, you can try it at the drug store.

The space can be used to store things, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to move it home. Thinking of this, Zhao Yunxi's hands moved faster.

He said to the two sisters: "Second and third sisters, let's pick more and take them back! Yesterday, the lobby uncle and Dr. Sun's family helped us. Let's send some chicken feet fruits to thank them."

"Okay." Zhao Yunxuan said: "Then you can make the branches longer so that they can be bundled and carried back later."

The three sisters cleaned up the tree trunks they were sitting on before stopping. Zhao Yunxuan took the lead to get down from the tree and reached down to protect the two sisters. After they came down safely, Zhao Yunxuan turned around to clean up the chicken feet fruits on the ground.

The three of them looked at the fruits here, and Zhao Yunxuan scratched her head helplessly, "There are so many, just a small backpack, we can't finish it. Why don't you wait for me here, and I will run back and get another basket. "

"Second sister, I have a solution. Come and help me."

Zhao Yunxi walked to the vine in front and pulled it. Zhao Yuntong and Zhao Yuntong immediately went to help when they saw it. The three of them tied up the chicken feet fruits with vines.

The three of them trampled down a small tree that was as thick as an adult's wrist, and hung two bundles of chicken claw fruits from a vine neatly on one end of the wooden stick. Zhao Yuntong packed a basket of fruits, while Zhao Yunxi was reluctant to part with the remaining chicken feet fruits, so he walked away holding a small bundle.

The three of them staggered through the woods, passing villagers who were still working in the fields and saying hello with a smile.

Then he carried the things and walked forward. When the children walked away, the discussion behind them became louder.
