It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 3 The Harvest on the Mountain

After dinner, Su Rui left Su Wan at home to watch Xiaoliu Su Chennan, and took the other siblings up the mountain to collect firewood.In the ancient winter, people would freeze to death in their original memory. Su Rui decided to save enough firewood for the winter.

Even though autumn has not yet entered, but the Su family siblings are small and weak, and they can't collect firewood for a day and burn it for half a month like other villagers, they can only accumulate it day by day.

Sujia Village is surrounded by mountains in the north. When there were no natural disasters in previous years, the villagers caught pheasants, rabbits, and occasionally wild boars from time to time.

Passing by the two waterfalls on the mountain now, the small one has dried up, and the big water flow is much smaller. If it does not rain, the villagers will have no water to drink for at most two months
Today, Su Rui plans to go a little farther to see if there are any wild animals that can be caught to nourish the younger siblings at home.Xiao Liu is about to turn a year old, and he is not as old as a half-month-old modern child, and he can't crawl, let alone talk.

Thinking of my colleague's eight-month-old child, he can already crawl all over the floor.

Still lack of nutrition, more protein should be added.

Suddenly hearing a rustling sound, Su Rui's hairs sprung up in shock, but it must not be a snake. In modern times, Su Rui is most afraid of molluscs.

"Brother, do you think this is the sound made by a snake?"

"Big sister, it's not a snake, it's a pheasant cuddling." Su Chenrui pushed through the grass, and saw a pheasant looking at him in panic.

"Oh, the pheasant is good, catch it back and make soup for you." As long as it is not a snake, Su Rui is very courageous.

Step forward and grab the pheasant.Seeing more than a dozen wild eggs under the pheasant, I thought to myself that the pheasants were so skinny, and it probably took a long time to hatch. I picked up the extra coat, spread it on the ground, and carefully placed the wild eggs on it. .

The pheasants were tied up with ropes woven from weeds, and put into third sister Su Qiao's basket.

The wild eggs were handed over to Su Ying, a girl with a calm personality and neither arrogance nor impetuosity.

"Third Sister, carry the pheasant on your back and don't fall. When you go back, kill the pheasant at the waterfall, and in the evening, the eldest sister will cook chicken soup for you to eat with lumps."

The little guys were very happy.

If you walk backwards, you will lose the luck you had at the beginning. Although you have encountered a rabbit, it is useless if you can't catch it.

When she was depressed, Su Rui found a plant with red fruits and five leaves in a shady place.

Excitedly ran over, shouting "stick"

Su Rui was in the team building of Hyundai Company and visited the ginseng planting base once.If I remember correctly, this must be ginseng, or wild ginseng with a higher value.

I remember that the tour guide said that when you see wild ginseng, you must shout loudly, the louder the better. The old man said that this is to tell wild ginseng that you have found him and tell him not to run away.And it is best to tie a red string to the wild ginseng, otherwise the essence of the ginseng doll may run away.

Su Rui didn't have a red string on her body, but she saw that Su Qiao had one tied around her head, so she took it off and tied it to the root of wild ginseng.

"Third Sister, Eldest Sister will buy you a beautiful velvet flower belt next time you go to the county."

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Su Ying looked at the elder sister, knelt in front of the plant, and gently removed the fallen leaves around

"This is wild ginseng, it can extend your life, and it's very valuable." Su Rui replied cautiously.

Su Chenrui learned calligraphy from his father, and his father often told them that someone dug up wild ginseng on the mountain, it is very rare!Rich businessmen from other places are willing to buy it.

"Second sister, elder brother, younger sister. We are going to get rich! Eldest sister can make you live a good life!"

Su Rui was very excited. She had been thinking that it would be fine to grow food in space, but if it was sold, it was a disaster year. There were so many refugees on the road, and they took out so much food to walk on the road. That is not a shining fat sheep. Well.

Gently digging the soil with her hands, the white and fat body of the wild ginseng has been exposed. Without special tools, Su Rui used a wooden stick to remove the sand bit by bit, and carefully found every ginseng whisker.

Two hours passed, and finally the whole wild ginseng was dug out. Looking at the size, Su Rui felt that it had been 100 years, if not 80 years.

Su Rui walked around again, it is said that there will always be several small ones growing near one big wild ginseng.

Sure enough, there were two small ones less than 100 meters away.

Su Rui asked the second sister to find some wet grass with roots.He quickly dug out the remaining two small wild ginseng.Together with the broken roots, they were taken into the space.

"Big sister, we dug it back. What's the use of these?" Su Chenrui looked at the big sister strangely.

"It's great. We wrapped the wild ginseng with wet grass roots to avoid water loss." Su Rui wrapped the wild ginseng carefully.

"Well, today is really full of harvest, there are pheasants to eat, and wild ginseng was dug up."

The Su family siblings happily walked towards the waterfall.

Su Rui found a relatively sharp stone, cut off the head of the pheasant, and buried the internal organs except the heart and liver. There was no way to remove the chicken feathers. She couldn't remove them without scalding them with boiling water.

The younger siblings looked for fallen branches nearby.

"I don't know how Wan'er and Chen Nan are doing at home." Su Chenrui carefully walked down the mountain with the firewood on his back.

"Sister Wan'er has always been well-behaved, she will definitely wait for us at home." Su Qiao whispered...

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a baby crying. Su Wan hurriedly greeted her from the main house when she heard the sound, "Eldest sister, you guys are back, and younger brother is hungry and crying all the time. Wan'er is stupid and doesn't know how to cook."

He touched Su Wan's aggrieved face.

"Our family Wan'er is already great. My sister believes that Wan'er will be able to cook well when she grows up."

Modern colleagues often teach these unmarried single dogs the experience of raising children, and the children must praise her for confidence.

Without Su Rui's explanation, Su Ying took the initiative to cook corn paste for Xiao Liu, and Su Chenrui packed up the firewood and put it in the firewood room.Su Qiao went into the house to coax Xiao Liu.

The children of the really poor have been in charge of the family early, and they are simply too sensible.Those who are sensible make Su Rui feel distressed. In modern times, these people are at the age of primary school, but in ancient times, farmers have to do housework.

Before Xiao Liu's meal was ready, Su Rui pretended to take the wild eggs and wild ginseng she picked up from the mountain into the side room, then turned around and put them into the space.

"Eldest sister put the wild eggs on the kang in the side room and covered them with cotton jackets. Don't move them. Elder sister wants to see if they can hatch chickens in a warm place."

"By the way, Miss Wild Ginseng is also hiding in a secret place, in case people from the old house come and search her out." The siblings agreed together.

Su Rui started to boil water, ready to remove the chicken feathers.

"Eldest sister, can I eat eggs in the future? Can Wan'er eat eggs? Sister Ya'er from the uncle's family said that eggs are delicious." Su Wan looked at Su Rui pitifully.

"Yes, we will have eggs in the future, and everyone will eat them. Boiled, fried, and steamed, there are all kinds of flavors." Su Rui felt very heartbroken...

"Wow..." the little girl exclaimed excitedly.
