Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 32
It was only then that Fang remembered that there was another problem.Luojia Village is backed by a mountain, and there are many mountain products in the mountain, such as chestnut trees and jujube trees, as well as wild pears and hawthorns.There are still wild beasts in the deep mountain. For safety, the mountain is usually sealed. Only after the autumn harvest is over every year, when the villagers are organized to go into the mountain to pick up the autumn, the mountain will be opened. The fear is that someone will be greedy for that. Mountain goods, if you enter the mountain rashly, it doesn't matter if you don't make money, but it's a big deal if you lose your life.

Of course Fang refused to waste this opportunity, nodded and said: "Tomorrow my family will go with you."

"Alright, I'll call you when I leave in the morning." Because the Fang family was still eating, Changhui Niang couldn't sit still, so seeing the news, she patted her butt and went home.

Luo Tiandu used to live in the lake area, and he didn't like to pick any autumn, but the aunt who lived next door to her was very hardworking and thrifty, every late autumn, the cotton was all picked, some families were too busy, the cotton stalks were still piled up in the field, That aunt would wrap around her bag to pick up unwanted cotton, and she could pick up dozens of catties in one winter. She guessed that this should be considered a kind of picking up autumn.

She is very fond of this kind of behavior of picking up free mountain goods, and immediately expressed to Fang's willingness to follow tomorrow.

Fang Shi had just finished working in the field, and she was a little tired. She was an adult, and she couldn't bear it, not to mention that Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu were still children, and they had been busy with her and Luo Baisu for more than a month. Must be tired.Originally, she only planned to go to the mountain with Luo Baisu, and the two children would stay at home to rest for two days, but Luo Tian was arguing to go, she got a little annoyed by the quarrel, and said:
"I'm almost exhausted. If it wasn't for saving money, I went to the mountains to pick up some New Year's goods for the New Year. I would rather stay at home and rest. I really don't know what you think. You don't know how to enjoy the blessings. You have to follow Go, do you think going into the mountains is fun?"

Having said that, when Fang was preparing the dry food for going into the mountains tomorrow, he still prepared two more.

Early the next morning, Changhui Niang really came to ask Fang Shi to go into the mountain together.

Fang and Luo Baisu each carried a large back basket, and took a sack, wrapped the dry food prepared yesterday in cloth, put them in the back basket, and followed Changhui Niang to the big banyan tree in the village. A lot of people have already gathered one after another, all carrying baskets, ready to go into the mountains to pick up autumn, some simply picked baskets from both ends of the pole, only a few old hunters in the village, took weapons such as hunting bows and crossbows , ready to go into the mountains to hunt some game, that's it, these hunters can only try their luck on the mountainside, hunting some small animals such as hares and weasels, and are not allowed to enter the deep mountains.In the past, there was a hunter in the village. Relying on his own skills, he refused to listen to dissuasion, and single-handedly broke into the deep mountain, but he never came out again. Cloth and pieces of leftover giblets were dragged all over the place, and the scene left several people who saw the scene unable to eat for days.

After that, Lizheng forbade anyone from entering the deep mountain.

After a while, all the people who want to go into the mountain, Lizheng told them to turn over as usual, nothing more than to pay attention to safety, not to go too far into the mountain, especially for the few hunters who went to the mountain to hunt, Lizheng emphasized repeatedly.

Because those who pick up autumn are only at the foot of the mountain, and they can pick something back when they see it. There is no danger. Slowly, nothing can be picked up.

The Fang family and Changhui Niang walked together with several families that were closer to the village. Except Changhui was too young and Changhui Niang didn't bring them out, the other families all brought their children out. , Picking up things is the most suitable, even adults may not be able to keep up with their speed.

Luo Tian followed Fang's side, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few little ghosts in the village gathering together, sneaking around, as if discussing something in a low voice, then rushed behind her and said in unison:
"A vicious girl, a debt collector, a lazy ghost who hates death!"

Those few were all famous leather monkeys in the village, and they were loud and loud. When they shouted together, they could be heard half a mile away.

Luo Tian didn't say anything yet, the faces of the adults who followed him changed, and he said to Fang in a rather embarrassed way: "Children are ignorant, fifth sister-in-law don't care about it." After speaking, he grabbed his naughty ghost, He was beaten twice, of course, this was just for show, and he didn't use too much force.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as domestic violence. It is really normal for parents to beat their children. No matter adults or children, they don’t think it’s unusual, and no one thinks there’s anything wrong. Even the children themselves take it for granted. Hit, cry a few times, and then act like a normal person, sometimes beat hard, give candy or make something delicious, turn around and coax it and it's over.Luo Tiandu is also deeply persecuted by this system now, because now Yao shi finds her extremely displeasing, and wants to slap her whenever he gets the chance.

Although the leather monkeys were suppressed by the adults with force, they still winked at Luo Tian while the adults were not paying attention, opened their mouths and silently repeated the newly edited jokes over and over again, their innocence was a bit hateful.

Luo Tian even pretended not to see it, and kept doing psychological training for herself secretly. She is a mature adult and can't seriously care about a few children, but Fang's face sank.

Changhui Niang knew about the entanglement, so she could only persuade her in a low voice at this time: "Don't be angry, fortunately, the child is still young, in two years, who will remember this, besides, your family is smart and smart. It's cute, and it won't be difficult in the future."

Because there were so many children around, Chang Hui Niang didn't speak bluntly, she was referring to Luo Tiandu's future marriage.When people like them marry a daughter-in-law, the most important thing is reputation. If a girl's family has the reputation of being a wicked woman, no matter how capable she is, no one is willing to marry her.

Fang sighed, and said: "Where is this grandma! I wish I could ruin my granddaughter's reputation and stay at home without getting married. What good will she get?"

Changhui Niang also sighed silently, the Luo family is in a bad mood, it's really hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

Fortunately, we will soon reach the foot of the mountain, Changhui Niang said: "Relax, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let's focus on picking more autumn fruits today, that's the big deal."

At this time, the mountain was golden, and when the wind blew, the leaves "rusted" and made a rustling sound. There were tall tallow trees growing on both sides of the mountain road. Round white fruit inside.

Luo Tiandu looked at the large tallow tree forest, his eyes were all shining.What else are you picking?This piece of Chinese tallow tree forest alone is worth enough.

In the era when she was a child, supplies were tight, and everything was distributed according to the plan, and she had to pay for a few catties of kerosene to light the lamp. She was too young, and her parents were afraid that she would become short-sighted, so they had to light two lamps every time. Naturally, the kerosene was used up quickly. When it ran out, there was no ticket to buy it, so they went to the village to collect black tallow seeds, dried them and sent them to the oil factory to be pressed into oil. There was no shortage of lamp oil, and later when electric lamps became popular, few people picked tallow seeds.

After she came here, the supplies were even poorer. Most people in the village closed their doors to sleep when it got dark. Firstly, they had to get up early to work, and secondly, it meant saving lamp oil.At least, when there was no family separation before, if Luo Baisu wanted to light a lamp to read a book, Yao would stop him.When Fang bought seeds last time, he also made a pot of tung oil, which cost thirty cents a catty. Every time Luo Baisu read a book, he could only light an oil lamp. The light was not much bigger than a bean. It was jumping and jumping, she was worried that her father hadn't finished his book, what should he do if his eyes were nearsighted?There are no "Weikang" glasses for him here.

Now that's all right, how many tallow tree seeds will there be in such a large forest of black tallow trees?How much oil should be squeezed?At least Luo Baisu no longer needs to spend extra money on lamp oil for reading at night, which can save a lot of money.

She looked around behind, stopped and walked and watched the tallow forest drooling, and gradually fell behind the crowd, Fang turned around and waited for her: "What are you walking around by yourself, follow up quickly, or go away I lost it, but I have no time to find you."

Luo Tiandu responded, and ran a few steps to catch up with Fang Shi.

After entering the mountain, the mountain road is gentle, but the road is a bit narrow. The man carries the burden at the head, the child walks in the middle, the woman pushes behind, and after walking about a cup of tea, they come to a slightly open area. This is where they are today. destination.

There are many wild fruit trees around, wild pears, jujubes, apples and hawthorns, but they are not ripe yet, hanging on the branches with some greenness and heavyness. Although there are many wild fruits, most of them have bad taste. He is also small.Luo Tiandu picked up a wild apple, wiped it off with his sleeve, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "Ah bah", and spat it out again.The wild apple was so hard and sour that her teeth hurt from biting it, and everyone around her laughed.

"Mother, this doesn't taste good." Luo Tiandu held the wild apple he had bitten into in his hand, he couldn't eat it, he didn't want to throw it away, and he didn't care if he didn't throw it away.

"You child, you are impatient. No one eats these. You should try this wild date. It tastes good."

After Fang finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe, picked a red wild date and handed it to her. It was really sweet and moist, but it was smaller, but it tasted very good.

While speaking, some people had already rolled up their sleeves, climbed up the tree three times, and shook the branches vigorously. There were also those who couldn't climb trees, but had great strength, swung a thick branch, and beat at the bottom.Immediately, wild jujubes and hawthorns fell down one after another like rain, and some of them hit people's heads. From time to time, they heard the people who were hit scream "Ouch, ouch". Pick up the fruit and throw it into the basket.

After a while, all the wild fruits on the trees were shaken down, even those few wild pear and apple trees were no exception.It turns out that fruit trees are most taboo on rotten branches, otherwise they will not bear fruit in the coming year. Although the fruits produced by those wild pear trees are not delicious, they can’t help but have good teeth and sour ones. Pick some and wait for the snow to freeze. Outside, you can eat it all winter.Besides, people stay at home throughout the winter, and they still have to eat every day when they don’t work. What is not to eat?
