Da Song a knife

Chapter 16
Unexpectedly, Xiao Song was taken aback and shook his head like a rattle.

Zhang Sijiu smiled: "If you don't take me with you, I'll tell Second Aunt."

Xiaosong's eyes widened: I never thought you were such a big sister!
But Xiaosong still shook his head in horror: "Eldest sister, they are all boys, girls are not allowed to go."

Zhang Sijiu raised his eyebrows: Oh?
Xiaobai whispered: "They all went into the river naked!"

Zhang Sijiu: ...

She squinted at Xiaosong: "Let's not talk about you first, Xiaosong is still so young, you let him go into the river too?"

Children who grow up by the river naturally know water.They are less in awe of water.

As the saying goes, those who drown are those who can swim.

Xiao Song quickly shook his head: "No! I dare not! He guards his clothes on the shore! If he dares to enter the water, I will beat him!"

Xiaobai covered his buttocks and said resolutely, "Don't go into the water!"

Zhang Sijiu looked at the two brothers: ...Xiao Song, have you ever thought that you shouldn't go into the water?

She thought about it, and decided to look at the two brothers, "Don't play in the water in the future. You can't touch the fish, and you are tanned. Why don't you follow me to find a way to make money."

Xiaosong obviously knew the situation at home, and immediately became interested: "Sister, can you make money?"

Xiao Bai also looked at Zhang Sijiu with round eyes.

Looking at the rain screen, Zhang Sijiu really had an idea in his mind: "After the rain, there are fungi in the bamboo forest. Let's go and see if the fungi have sprouted after the rain stops. When they bloom, pick them up and sell them in the county."

There are no bacteria in the county.There will always be people buying this kind of seasonal fresh goods.

Xiao Song was a little disappointed: "Mushrooms? I guess no one buys them. Every family has them. It's not rare."

Zhang Sijiu pinched his cheeks: "Even if you buy a copper coin, it's still money. Do you understand that a small amount pays off?"

Otherwise, it’s okay to add a dish to your home!Mushrooms are rich in amino acids and are also a rare delicacy!It is much better than vegetable leaves!
Xiaobai was the first to be persuaded: "A copper coin is also money!"

In addition to mushrooms, there are fungus.

Almost every household here raises spring silkworms. Although the silkworms have already cocooned and harvested this season, the mulberry trees are still lush and lush as a companion to silkworm rearing.

When Zhang Sijiu was mowing grass at the edge of the field, he saw dried fungus on the mulberry tree.

Fungus is also a good thing, and it can be stored in the winter to eat after drying.It can also be boiled fresh and fried.

Zhang Sijiu could only think of these two things at the moment.

Now that I know it, the molting has already been completed, and there is nowhere to pick up the cicada slough.

Even silkworm excrement is dried and sold out in every household.

Not to mention herbs.Anything that is precious and valuable has been dug out long ago.

Taking the road of traditional Chinese medicine will not work.

Those stories about getting rich easily by time travel are really just stories.

In fact, in order to support their families, the aborigines never let go of any place that can make money.

However, maybe after exchanging information with Yang Yuanding, the situation will be much better.His family is better off, and he probably knows more contemporary information.

Tomorrow is the time to meet Yang Yuanding, and I don't know if the rain will stop by then.

It ended up raining all day long.

It didn't stop until midnight.

When Zhang Sijiu got up the next morning, the eaves were still dripping.

However, the air is really fresh.The taste of grass is also strong.Taking a deep breath, I just feel that my lungs are clear.

The sky is still a bit cloudy, but it's already showing signs of clearing up.

Zhang Sijiu picked up his pannier and went out to mow the grass.

The stock at home is going to run out, and if I don’t go out to mow the grass, there will be no food for the chickens, ducks and pigs at home.

But before reaching the door, Zhaoyin shouted outside the door: "Jiu Niang! Jiu Niang! Are you up yet! Go mowing the grass!"

Zhang Sijiu responded, then opened the door and went out.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai were still snoozing, but she didn't call them.

The road outside became somewhat muddy due to the rain, and even puddles were accumulated. Zhang Sijiu and Zhao Yin carefully avoided places with a lot of mud and walked towards the river.

The grass on the riverside grew taller again.It's just wet, touch a handful of water.

If you put it in a basket and carry it on your back, your clothes will get wet.

Zhaoyin skillfully pinched a few pieces of taro leaves, and put them on the side of the pannier against the back and under the pannier to hold water, so as to avoid this problem.

Zhang Sijiu watched from the side, spontaneously admiring: the wisdom of the working people is really ingenious.

She praised Zhaoyin: "Zhaoyin, you are really smart."

Zhaoyin smiled "hehe" and said, "You have to find a way to change your clothes when they get wet. But remember, when picking taro leaves, only pick the old ones, don't pick the young ones, or you will be scolded."

Zhang Sijiu nodded.

After cutting the grass, Zhang Sijiu noticed a lot of things washed up on the edge of the river beach.

There are broken logs, swollen chickens and ducks, and even dead fish.

Zhang Sijiu suddenly regained his energy: "Zhaoyin, let's come out again later, go to the river to pick up some wood. Then see if there are any snails or something."

Zhaoyin looked down on the little wood: "These won't last long. As for snails, there aren't many here, only in the small river ditches. But they can't be eaten, so there's no need to pick them up."

"It won't take long to burn." Under the harsh living conditions, stockpiling supplies is a must.Zhang Sijiu didn't dislike it.

As for the snails, Zhang Sijiu planned to feed the chickens and ducks.Only in this way can they lay more eggs!

And, most importantly, she was going to wait for someone by the river this morning.

How good is this without delay?
Zhaoyin hesitated: "Then I'll ask my mother. She might let me go out."

Zhang Sijiu nodded, not reluctantly.

In the end, Zhaoyin failed to come out again, but Zhang Sijiu took Xiaosong and Xiaobai with him.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai were very excited, as if they were going to hunt for treasure by the river, Zhang Sijiu had the illusion that they were two wild horses that had run loose.

Mrs. Xu didn't stop her either, because she had to hold the little pumpkin to breastfeed, so she didn't have time to take care of her two sons.

After eating milk for a few days, the little pumpkin has obviously begun to grow flesh, and the wrinkled skin is stretched out, revealing rosy and fair skin. When the eyes are opened, they are round like two black grapes.It is so beautiful that Qiao Niang can't help but dislike her iron egg: "It's dark and ugly!"

Mrs. Xu loves her too much, and she is even more reluctant to miss the chance to nurse the little pumpkin—Qiaoniang is barely able to breastfeed two children now, but in two months, she may not be able to do so.

Now the little pumpkin eats more and grows stronger. In the future, if we wean off the milk and eat rice cereal, it will be better for survival.

Zhang Sijiu took his two cousins ​​all the way to the edge of the river.

The river beach is already lively at the moment.

There were still rotten trees washed down from the mountains floating on the river, and the men rowed boats to fish them.

Those who want to enter the county are also waiting for the boat on the shore.

Xiao Song looked at the people fishing for logs on the river, and said with pride: "When I grow up, I will also sail a boat to catch big logs!"

Zhang Sijiu didn't laugh at him: "Okay, but let's pick up some small branches first. Go, you are a man in the family, don't be lazy."

Zhang Sijiu has no psychological burden at all about employing child labor: he is also a child laborer now!
For a better life, every family member must work hard and fight for it all his life!
