Hard times have room

Chapter 400
After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set in the west, and Pauline was walking among the groves. Through the gaps between the trees, she could see a village not far away.

About ten minutes later, Paulin had walked outside her yard, easily opened her bamboo fence door, carried her schoolbag, and entered her yard.

Now both Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang are still busy in the fields, and they don't even know that Paulin has gone home for the holiday.

Because her vacation time is really random, there is never a fixed time, the shortest time is only 20 days in school, the longest time is 35 days, these are recorded in her notepad .

Paulin took out the key from the space and opened the door of her main room. She didn't rush into the room, but put her schoolbag on the table and went directly to the back of the room.

Not to see if her sweet potatoes are planted, but to see the three bamboo rats at home, and I don't know how many are still alive.

After bypassing the kitchen, the first thing that catches the eye is her vegetable field, which is lush and lush. Obviously, now the sweet potato vines have been buried and grown, and they are of the kind that grow very well, or else , Now the sweet potato vines in the ground will not be so lush and green. Although it has not yet reached the stage where the vine branches are intertwined, this thing is growing fast, and it will not be long before it is time.

Her purpose was not for the vegetable field, she only looked carefully for a few times, then looked away and focused on a nest next to the kitchen.

The top is covered with thatch and surrounded by mud bricks. It looks very simple, but it also reveals a unique rural atmosphere. Anyway, she doesn't hate it, she still thinks it's a little cute.

As soon as the thatch covered with it was lifted, the few inside seemed to feel something, and moved a few times uneasy, and finally chose to squeeze into a ball and huddle together, in order to resist the current uneasiness.

In the past, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang both fed these little things three times a day. They were about to eat, and these little guys could start eating. Now this is not the light of the previous plan. Obviously, it makes them very upset.

Bao Lin herself was stunned by the little cuties crowded inside. That's right, when I came back this time, there were not only a few bamboo rats, but two more.

The little ones are now tightly huddled in their mother's arms, and their little tails are trembling, which is very cute.

Take out two tender bamboo shoots from the space and feed them to the two new members, but unfortunately these two little guys don't give much face, not even a look.

Even if she personally took bamboo shoots to tease them, it was the same, poking her butt and moving her head, but her head was always buried in their mother's arms.

In the end, the bamboo shoots were eaten by two more timid bamboo rats. She couldn't tell which was which, but she could barely tell the difference before. Because of her size, one was pregnant with a cub and had a big belly. The bigger one, the one that hasn't grown much, the smallest, the male one, which is neither too small nor too small, just right in the middle.

Nearly a month has passed now, and the three bamboo rats have become almost the same size, and they are all looking at the fat, very cute bamboo rats, and it is strange that she can recognize them.

Besides, what her family is feeding now is food, not pets. Good-looking is good-looking, cute is cute, but in the end, it still has to fall into their stomachs, so it is better not to spend too much time and have any feelings.

But one thing is good. The bamboo rat in her family doesn't look very smart, and is very afraid of people. Usually, when feeding things, they just bury their heads in cooking, which gives her a very wooden feeling, unlike cats and dogs. When you look at them, they are clever, and when you look at them, you feel that their eyes are looking at themselves, and they are very knowledgeable. This kind of thing is easy to have feelings and be reluctant.

This way, when it comes time to eat meat, you can also eat happily.

After seeing the bamboo rat, Paulin put some bamboo leaves in it and covered them with thatch again. She had to hurry up because her time at home was limited.

When she got back to the main room, Pauline ignored the schoolbag on the table and left with the basket on her back.

She plans to go to the back mountain to see. If there are still mushrooms to pick up, she will go to the forest to pick up mushrooms. If there are no mushrooms, she will go to dig wild vegetables. Now that the wild vegetables are so long and tender, it is a good time.

By the way, the peach blossom trees in the peach blossom forest in the village should have already fully bloomed, and I don't know if there are still flowers in bloom. She is not demanding, just leave a little bit for her.

Well, she has nothing to do in her spare time. She intends to pick some, then dry it in water and drink it, or keep the powder for fun. It's all good.

Now that there are so few recreational activities, picking flowers is one of the few hobbies she can continue to maintain. She is not limited to peach blossoms, other wild flowers can also be used, anyway, as long as they are non-toxic and edible, she will pick them.

She didn't dislike even the white flowers on the thorny vine branches, and collected a bag full of dried petals, although they looked a little ugly after drying.

There are not only white flowers on the thorns and vines, but also pink and red ones in other varieties. They are all thorny, and they are pretty good-looking. However, the white ones are the most, and the pink and red ones are ground into powder and put in a jar.

Now in her space, the bottles and jars that used to hold small snacks are now all filled with dried flowers she dried and dried powder.

Although she hasn't figured out how to use these dried petals and powder, she can put them in the space and watch them gradually increase from less to more, which is not a kind of happiness.

After arriving at the back mountain, Paulin first went to the Taolin. Sure enough, the ground was in a mess, and the petals fell to the ground and fell into mud. Now it is in the process of generation.

Only scattered peach branches are decorated with a few delicate peach blossoms, one or two, not many on a single tree, but a whole peach forest, connected together, is very impressive.

In addition to peach blossoms, most of the peach trees are fresh green leaves. Last autumn, all the leaves on the peach tree turned yellow and returned to the earth. Now the green clothes are draped over the peach tree again. When the wind blows, the tree seems to be He trembled again, in disbelief.

After seeing the peach grove, Paulin's heart that she couldn't let go of finally came to the ground. Next, she went directly to the small woods in the back mountain to see if the mushrooms in the woods grew.

Logically speaking, it didn't grow. When she went home last time, there were too many mushrooms in the mountains. Generally speaking, the mushrooms in the village grow once every two or three months, and they can last for about a month at most. .

The main reason is that the rainwater is not enough when the mushrooms grow. If the rainwater is sufficient, the mushrooms will grow a lot and it will last a long time. The only disadvantage is that it is not easy to dry. It can only be eaten at home. , At this time, it's usually Pauline's carnival, the kind that stays in the woods to pick up mushrooms without stopping.

If there is little rain, or if it does not rain for a long time, it may be over in ten days.
