reborn at sixty

Chapter 219 222. Help
After gaining the sweetness, the monkey group began to work hard under the command of Shui Lian.

Even the fifth master had to admire, "Good guy, this is okay. I knew monkeys could help, and I suggested that the team raise more monkeys. After this autumn, I won't be able to collect too many pine nuts. "

Zheng Furong chuckled, one reason is that his granddaughter is capable, even a little monkey can make friends, let alone let animals help with work.

"Fifth Master, this statement is wrong. To be honest, not everyone can control this monkey. Only my granddaughter has this ability. If these monkey cubs can't handle it, they may cause a big disturbance in the heaven. This is to ask them to help Ah, still busy cleaning up the mess they made?

So, the animals are raised by people. You see, we didn't raise the little monkeys, but they still took the initiative to help.

Let's hurry over to help, otherwise the three children will be overwhelmed. "

With the addition of the monkey group, the five people below are indeed a little busy. The main tree is the main battlefield of other monkeys. It is too easy to get things down. With a little paw, the pine cones have to fall off one after another. fall.

For a while, there was a lively scene in the forest. The old people and children were busy under the tree. The laughter and the monkeys running around on the tree formed a weird combination, but this kind of picture was also surprisingly harmonious. As if humans and animals were born this way.

Shui Lian looked at the pine cones in the ground, so she simply asked the two old men to dump the pine nuts. It would be more convenient to take this thing back. As for the pine cones themselves, there is no shortage of burnt ones at home, so they stayed where they were. It is as if the leaves fall back to the soil and let the soil under the big tree continue to fertilize.

Song Chengyu was a little puzzled, "Grandpa, you said that in such a big forest, the people in the village can harvest whatever they want here. Look at the soil, which is black and definitely fertile. Everything you plant can yield a good harvest.

Zheng Furong sighed, "I guess I didn't expect it. Don't say anything else, just plant some corn on the edge of the field at home. You say it's no problem to eat green corn, but there is no one to plant it. People's thinking is still stuck." At the level of collective labor and collective harvest, besides how strict capitalism is now, everyone doesn't have the guts to do so.

But at this time, it depends on whoever is brave enough to eat. You see, Shuilian and your great-grandfather are farming here, so our family doesn't have to worry about food.

Sigh, you don't know that when grandpa came here with you, he still worried about this matter. To be honest, I was really hungry and scared in those few years. I guess you are still young and don't have much memory..."

Song Chengyu sighed, "Grandpa, how can I have no memory? I still remember that the family drank porridge at that time, and it was so easy to make some cornmeal pancakes. They were not big, and my pancakes were often eaten by my brothers and sisters at home. It was snatched away, alas, my dad gave me his own share, he can only starve himself, I can't forget this until now..."

What he didn't say was that because of this incident, the old lady hadn't lightened up on grandma's scolding. He was young at that time. If he was killed now, he wouldn't be able to eat. His father still has to go to work. How can he work without a full stomach? Ah, now he feels that he has really grown up, and he has begun to recall the past.

Young and old chatted while working, this morning went by really fast, when Shui Lian turned her head to look, shit, the pine nuts were almost collected half a sack, she hurriedly told everyone to rest first, she took out the pot, and arrived Going to wash by the stream, I plan to find some mushrooms and make some mushroom soup for everyone to eat with steamed buns.

Shitou and Chengyu couldn't sit still, these two fellows also followed to the stream, washing hands was the second priority, the two mainly wanted to play in the water, although it was autumn, the autumn tiger was not covered, if it was hot, it would be poisonous, they After staying in the woods all morning, even though they were not exposed to the sun, they were still covered in sweat after all, so the two of them played with water while scrubbing their bodies.

"Hey, Brother Cheng Yu, there are fish and shrimp in it..."

Song Chengyu himself discovered the New World, "Hey, there are still crabs here, water lotus, you go get mushrooms first, and my brother and I will see if we can get some fish and shrimp. It will be delicious to make soup then."

You can find edible things everywhere in the depths of the mountains, but water lotus still prefers mountain mushrooms, which are more delicious when eaten fresh.

Fifth Master and Zheng Furong couldn't sit still anymore, they were busy picking mushrooms around with their baskets on their shoulders, this thing is a dish in winter after drying, and more importantly, it can be sold for money.

It has been a long time since Shui Lian went to the city to sell things, so the old man is also worried about the expenses of the family. After all, there are many people in the family, and there are not two heavy laborers. The rest needs to be consumed. The father and daughter were exhausted.

Shui Lian is picking and harvesting at the same time. She is also aware of the current situation of the family, and the consumption is quite high. Just relying on the little money Song Wenbo earns, the family will not even think about having new clothes to wear, after all, on his side She has a lot of thoughts, so she should work hard to earn money to support the family.

When she came back after picking the mushrooms, she saw Shi Shi waving at him from a distance, but the little guy didn't make a sound. Seeing his younger brother's expression, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, probably the kid found something good.

Walked over quickly, "Sister, hurry up and put this bastard in the space, I heard that this thing is the most up-to-date, and it will be sold later..."

This was the first time she saw a live bastard, and she didn't expect that there was such a thing in their land, did it mean that there might be such a thing in the downstream river?

Nodding, he quickly put the things in. Song Chengyu was busy catching crabs. This is the season when crabs are plump. Perhaps because there are few people here, the number of crabs is more than they imagined. .

"Sister, go cook first, and then we'll bring crabs home to eat. I really didn't expect this to be in the stream in the mountain. It just helps our family improve our life..."

After the monkeys ate the fruit, they started to repeat their work in the morning. Even the fifth master had to sigh, this thing is too psychic.

Shui Lian took the half-sized fish they caught with stones to make the soup base, and added mushrooms and wild chives to it. The taste even the monkeys on the tree couldn't help but be intoxicated.

Zheng Furong looked at the expression of the monkey on the tree and laughed, "Fifth Master, look at these little things and you know how to smell the fragrance. Look at their greedy appearance, they are almost as good as children..."

The water made by the water lotus is the spring water in the space, so the taste of the soup is not only delicious, but even the monkeys on the tree ran down and stood by, hoping to get a reward.

"Hehe, you little greedy cats, the rest of the pot is all you, grandpa, let's just drink this, and let's go home and make it ourselves. Brother Cheng Yu just caught a lot of crabs and cooked them tonight. Drink it with some wine, the taste is not to mention how beautiful it is.”

Zheng Furong nodded with a smile, "Well, our granddaughter knows how to eat. Let the monkeys drink the rest. Anyway, they have put in a lot of effort today. It is time to reward them with something delicious. Let them continue tomorrow."

When Shuilian and the others left, the monkeys were so tired that their legs stretched loose. Shuilian was a little embarrassed to let her work for nothing, so she divided the candies in her pocket one by one.

"Wukong, I want to thank you all today. I will bring delicious food over tomorrow, and you guys are still here to help."

Cheng Yu shook his head with a smile, "It is estimated that the monkey has never been so tired when it grows up. Maybe it will not have the strength to work tomorrow."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the monkeys who ate the candy seemed to be stimulant again, jumping happily on the branches, as if what they ate were not candy, but delicacies.

The things that went back were basically carried by several people in turn, and Shui Lian felt a little bitter in her heart. It would be great if she came here alone. It would be effortless to take these things back, but she could not deprive her of them. The joy of everyone's autumn harvest, forget it, let's be tired if you are tired, you have to let them experience what it means to share hardships, otherwise they won't remember the good times of childhood.

Today's bumper harvest made Song Wenbo's eyes turn red with envy. The little money he earned from working so hard over there was not as much as the old man and his children earned by going to the mountains to get pine nuts, let alone the children who brought the pine nuts. The deliciousness came back.

Shui Lian has made up her mind, tomorrow she has to act alone with Shi Shi, otherwise the speed will be a bit slow, and she hasn't gotten back what she wanted.

"Grandpa, why don't Ada and Aer go pick pine nuts with you tomorrow, and Shitou and I go to get grapes. Otherwise, if we don't hurry up, the grapes will fall."

Song Wenbo nodded, "That's the reason, but isn't it safe? Can you two follow the old wolf?"

Shui Lian nodded confidently, "Of course it's no problem, and the wolves are nearby, and there are monkeys to help us. If there is any danger, they will warn us. Besides, the place where my brother picks grapes is far away from grandpa and the others." That place is not far away, if there is anything we can take care of each other, if you come back early at night, you can just go in and meet us."

Because they caught crabs and came over, the old lady cooked the crabs first and asked the siblings to send some to some good ones.

"Wenbo, why don't you talk to your second uncle at night and ask him to follow him into the mountains, so that you can get more income. As for the delay in work, let them weigh it and see which one is suitable."

When Liang Shoulin and the others knew that there were monkeys coming to help on the mountain, the three of them simply felt that it was inappropriate to go to work, and went to pick pine nuts together, which was worth more than a day's work.

"Second Uncle, if you can go there, then I will feel more at ease. You can go pick pine nuts without worry, and let the siblings go to get grapes. This way, we can drink wine."

Liang Shoulin and the others were a little embarrassed, "What's this? It's enough for you to bring our family with you. In the past few years, our family has benefited a lot from your daughter. Tomorrow, you can go to work without worry. These people belong to the family." Our father is in charge of the three."
