Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 54

Mrs. Xue and the others sat in the bullock cart and did not dare to walk too fast. They walked for more than an hour before arriving at the venue.Mrs. Xue supported Huixin to get off the car, Mrs. Zhu helped to carry the burden, and then several of them walked into the ginseng yard.

Ever since her sons and daughters-in-law left, Mrs. Chen has not let go of her heart. Now that she sees the daughters-in-law coming in with the help of the daughters-in-law, she finally feels relieved. "Quickly, go into the house, Huixin, how are you doing?" the old lady took her daughter's hand and asked.

It has been four months since Huixin got married, she has never left her mother since she was a child, and now she has not seen her mother for four months, plus she was wronged at Tao's house, she burst into tears.He fell into his mother's arms and began to cry.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Chen knew that her daughter might be wronged, so she couldn't help but sighed. "Come on, let's talk in the first room. After all, this place is not as good as the original home. I didn't want you to come here, but mother really misses you." Mrs. Chen grabbed her daughter's hand and walked into the room.

Hui Xin wiped her tears, followed her mother into the house, and looked around the room.These five houses are smaller than the ones at home, and they are still wooden houses, so they won't be too warm in winter.I also feel sorry for my parents. At such an age, I still have to suffer such a crime.Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu followed into the house, while Zhixin and Zhiming went to visit the venue, and Wenhan naturally went with them.

The ladies sat on the kang, and Mrs. Chen asked how Huixin was doing at Tao's house.Hui Xin didn't say anything, she just kept crying, and here Xue Shi and Zhu Shi talked about what they saw and heard in Tao's house. "Mother, that old lady of the Tao family is really hateful, seeing Huixin's good nature, she just runs on Huixin like this."

Chen still sighed, "I guessed about this a long time ago. She didn't want to see Huixin, so naturally she couldn't treat Huixin well. It's just that Huixin is pregnant now, and they won't let it go. That's all, first Let's stay at home for a while, just to see the attitude of the New Year. He said at the beginning that he wanted to separate the family. Come pick me up, we won't go back, mother just happens to be close to my daughter for a few more days."

Mrs. Zhu went out and brought back some things, which were intended to be given to the Tao family.I was a little angry at Tao's house just now, so I didn't take these things out at all, and now I took them all back. "Mom, it's almost noon, I'll go and clean up the fish and rabbits. Today at noon, let's get some food to feed Huixin."

Mrs. Chen nodded after seeing it, "Leave more fish for Huixin, but Huixin is not allowed to eat rabbits. Women can't eat rabbits when they are pregnant. Be careful to give birth to a child with a three-petal mouth." There is such a saying in this old rule, pregnancy There are many things a woman can't eat.For example, dog meat, children love to bite, rabbits, children eat three-lobed mouths, ducks, children eat hands and feet without distinction.Although these are unscientific, people still believe in them and implement them resolutely.

Mrs. Zhu nodded, "If Mother doesn't tell me, I'll forget it. Okay, I'll marinate one of the rabbits, don't stew them all. I'll stew all the fish, let Huixin eat some." Saying that, Zhu Mrs. Xue went out, and Mrs. Xue followed after seeing it. "Mom, it's time to cook soon, I'll help."

Jinghan and the others were not in the house, but ran into the woods again.Few people come to this forest, so there are a lot of medicinal materials, and they have to go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials every day. "Second brother, it's almost noon, so let's do this for today."

Wen Cheng looked at the medicinal materials in the back basket, "Okay, that's it, go home. Big brother should be back soon, and my little aunt can come back with me. It's been a while since we haven't seen my little aunt." , Wen Cheng carried the basket on his back, and led Jing Han, Jing Wan, Jing Xian, Wen Xuan and Wen Chang to the house.

As they were walking, suddenly a pheasant came out of the grass and passed by them. "Pheasant." Wen Cheng took out the slingshot from his pocket, and shot the good projectile in the direction where the pheasant fell.This slingshot is a rope made of animal tendons. The specially treated animal tendons are very elastic, so this time, the shot can be quite far.

Jinghan also took out her slingshot, and similarly fired three projectiles at the place where the pheasant fell.This three-shot shooting method is Zhixin's special skill, but Jing Han is the one who learned the best.

There was a sound of a pheasant eating pain in the grass, Wen Cheng and the others hurriedly ran into the grass, only to see the pheasant lying on the ground with its legs still kicking, and blood pouring out of its head.Wen Cheng picked up the pheasant, "It's awesome, now there are delicious ones."

Looking at the pheasant, Jinghan sighed in her heart the benefits of living on the mountain.In Northeast China, there is a saying that when a roe deer is beaten with a stick, the fish is scooped up with a scoop, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot.This is to say that the former Northeast, now living in the mountains, can really experience such a feeling.Pheasants are very common in the mountains. Sometimes Zhixin will play a few tricks, and almost all of them can get pheasants.This pheasant has a habit called horizontal grass, that is to say, as long as there is a wooden stick lying there on the way the pheasant walks, it will go around.So as long as you find out where the pheasants often come and go, put two sticks horizontally, leave a hole in the middle of the two sticks, and then tie a cover, you can usually catch pheasants.However, like today, it was the first time they had caught pheasants by themselves, so everyone was very excited.

Carrying the pheasant and continuing to walk home, not long after, they arrived at the gate of the venue, entered the door, and came to the house, and saw Mrs. Chen, Huixin and Jingya chatting there. "Grandma, look, we hunted a pheasant, just to save it for my little aunt's health." Wen Cheng showed the pheasant to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen saw that the pheasant was not too small, and it weighed about three to four catties. "You guys are really capable. Okay, I have already stewed rabbits at noon today. Let's save the chicken for the night. We are in the mountains, and there is nothing wrong with it." Otherwise, I have to get some game to entertain your little aunt." Chen said with a smile.

Huixin was no longer sad at this time, and looked at the nephews and nieces in front of her, she was also very happy, "Jinghan, Jingwan, Jingxian, come quickly, let aunt look at you. Why is it all dark? Are you running up the mountain all day long? Jinghan, don't make Jingwan and Jingxian wild, they're all like tomboys." Huixin joked.

Jing Wan sat next to her little aunt, her temperament was stronger than Jing Ya's, but she was not as wild as Jing Han, she was between the two of them. "Little aunt, it's okay, there must be something to do, otherwise it would be too boring to be idle. We are still young, so we can't sit still like the eldest sister. When we have free time in winter, we will be able to support ourselves."

Jingxian was different, she also moved to Huixin's side, "Little aunt, the second sister said that girls have to be tough so that they won't be bullied in the future. I think the second sister is doing very well. Today the second sister shoots a slingshot , It can be fired three times in a row, which is awesome."

After listening to Jingxian's words, Huixin couldn't help but nodded when she thought of herself again, "That's right, girls should be more aggressive, but your second sister is a bit too much. Jingxian, you can't just be like your second sister. Did you hear that?"

Jing Han was listening, and wanted to roll her eyes helplessly.Her temperament is like this, and when she comes to the mountain, there are so many good things that attract her, how can she not be wild?Every day, she felt that if she was not allowed to go into the mountains to get something, she would feel uncomfortable all over.She just loves to drag things at home, there is no way.

Mrs. Chen quickly hugged Jinghan, and said with a smile, "Don't say we Jinghan, if it wasn't for Jinghan, our family would not know where to squat now. How can we have food and shelter like now? Can you still eat these wild game?" This is true, if it wasn't for Jing Han's idea to see the reference, they would just be renting a house now, and the family would save money from food and expenses, right?How could it be imagined that now, just selling fish can earn three hundred renminbi a day, and with the addition of prey from time to time, it can also sell a lot of silver.Waiting for the autumn, I can still get 30 taels of silver. Now it seems that the 30 taels are the net leftover. Calculated this year, I can earn 50 taels.If you add a mallet, you can buy a house and land in a few years.

"Grandma, don't talk about it in the future. It's just an idea I came up with suddenly. To go up the mountain, daddy and third uncle have to agree to do it, and the brothers are also able to live a stable life. I didn't either." What are you doing?" Jing Han doesn't take the credit, as a little girl, no matter how capable she is, it's useless if her father and brother are incompetent.

Mrs. Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay, don't talk about it. After all, our family has a few good children, and they are all willing to endure hardships. Grandma is content with you grandchildren."

At this time, Zhixin and the others also came back from the outside. Zhiming was carrying a stick on his shoulder, and there was a snake coiled on it.After seeing it, Mrs. Chen said, "Didn't I say that these things are not easy to hurt. Let them go."

"Mother, I don't want to hurt it. It's the one who chased me all the time. It's looking for death, so we can't blame us." Just now the brothers were walking, and the snake came out of the grass and followed Zhiming all the time. He raised his head and spat out the letter, wanting to bite someone, how could Zhiming and Zhixin let it go, just hit him and finished.If the children encounter this, or the people who come to work in the field accidentally encounter it, they may be bitten.

Jinghan saw that the snake was not small, and then remembered the pheasant they had killed, and just in time thought of a good dish. "Grandma, let's use this snake and pheasant soup tonight, dragon and phoenix soup, it's a great tonic. Let my little aunt drink more, it's the best to replenish her body."

"As long as you have a lot of ideas, why don't you still have dragon and phoenix soup? Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's try it too. What does this dragon and phoenix soup taste like?" Mrs. Chen agreed. Anyway, I can eat it anyway, and it's good to eat it differently.
