Chapter 58

It won't be long before autumn, Zhao Liya simply bought some fine and thick cotton cloth, and also bought a few pieces of leather, which can be inlaid on the soles of shoes to keep them warm.

A few quilts have also been reserved, and they will be picked up in half a month.

Now is the season when there are many kinds of mushrooms, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling plan to go to the mountains to look for them.

No matter what kind of mushroom, if you find it and take it home to dry, it will be an extra dish in winter.It is also good to stir-fry or make some mushroom sauce in daily life.

You don't have to go out of your way to look for rare Hericium erinaceus and morel mushrooms, and you don't have to go to such remote mountains.Widow Qu also went to the mountains to look for mushrooms in previous years, so everyone simply went together.

Widow Qu, Qu Yutao, Aunt Li Shiyi, Deng Shi, Zhao Xiang and the two children all went up the mountain.

The two children have been here for so long, and they haven't been to the mountains yet, so they are very unhappy. With two chubby puppies, Dabao and Xiaobao, it's a lot of fun for the whole family to go out.

In this way, it's not a serious search for mushrooms, it's just an autumn excursion.

Deng Shi and Zhao Xiang were very happy. When he was in the capital, he was busy with government affairs, and it was rare for his family to have the opportunity to go out like this. Unexpectedly, it has come true today.

Many wild fruits in the mountains are ripe at this time of year. Zhao Liya actually knows a lot of them, but she dare not show that she knows them.

Fortunately, Aunt Li Shiyi and Widow Qu knew each other.

They talked about edible wild fruits, and Zhao Liya, Qu Yutao, and Hu Ling picked a lot of them. The two children were so excited, eating wild fruits and catching grasshoppers, wishing they could roll all over the mountain like two puppies. Silver bell-like laughter floated all over the hillside.

What's strange is that two chubby puppies, who were so small, managed to drive a hare out of the grass!
When the two children saw the wild rabbit running out of the grass in a panic, they were almost crazy: "Ahh! Rabbit! Rabbit!"

The hare must have been frightened out of their wits by their screams and panicked, bumping headfirst into Hu Ling's leg, and fell backwards somersaulting, Hu Ling quickly caught him.

Everyone laughed, the live version of "waiting for rabbits" is rare, and we can add more vegetables at night.

In the fir forest, among the thick fir leaves, we found a lot of red fungus and fir tree fungus, and a kind of gray bag fungus.

After half a day, the two backpacks were full.

A few wild persimmon trees scattered among forests and mountains, and mountain grapes climbing on large trees with luxuriant branches were also found.

Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Let's remember this place, and come over to pick these mountain grapes and persimmons when they are ripe."

Aunt Li Shiyi laughed and said, "Oh, there's no need to memorize these things. There are many in the mountains. There are also many in Zahu Village. If you want it, let me know when the time comes." , Let the villagers take you to pick it off!"

Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Really? Then I will remember it!"

"Okay," Aunt Li Shiyi laughed heartily, "I'll go with you then!"

The big guy went home in the afternoon and dealt with all kinds of bacteria. The fat rabbit was also killed. In the evening, it was fried with ginger, onion and garlic, and the mushroom was fried with vegetables. It was very appetizing. The fruits of your own labor are different.

Zhao Liya and the others searched for mushrooms in the mountains for several days, and the harvest was full. The dustpan in the yard was full of sun, and the mushrooms were full of fresh fragrance under the sun.

When it is dried, put it away. In winter, stew soup, make dry pot, stir-fry meat, and vegetarian stir-fry are not all good things.

They were lucky, and found two more Ganoderma lucidum.Although one plant is only slightly larger than the palm of your hand, it is Ganoderma lucidum after all. It is dried and kept. When stewing soup, cut a piece and put it in, which is also nourishing for the body.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, Aunt Li Shiyi was thinking about going back.

Although she asked someone to take care of the vegetable garden and fields at home, she still had to go back and have a look.Furthermore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. Although her husband is gone, the family is still there. She always has to go back to meet the occasion. Her married daughter will also go home before the festival, and then worship the ancestors together. .

So Deng discussed with Zhao Liya and prepared a very rich gift for her to take back.

Zhao Liya made a special trip to the city and bought two boxes of moon cakes, two boxes of snacks, five or six catties of pork belly, and several catties of sun-dried mushrooms picked a few days ago.

Zhao Liya also gave her her wages, which was three months in August, six silver coins, and Zhao Liya gave her another one more, which was regarded as a red envelope.

Reluctantly, Deng reminded her again and again: "Sister-in-law is reluctant to stay at home and stay for a few more days after the festival, but don't forget to come again! If you are not here, we will be very bored."

Zhao Liya also smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if Aunt Eleven doesn't come, we will pick it up when the time comes, Aunt Eleven will be embarrassed not to come."

Everyone who said it laughed, and Aunt Li Shiyi also nodded with a smile: "Come on, definitely come!"

The Zhao family really welcomes her, she can feel it naturally.She is also happy to live here, relaxed and not bored.

Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Qu Yutao personally sent her back.Zhao Liya actually felt quite guilty in her heart. She had her own thoughts, and leaving Aunt Eleven behind was actually a shield.With Aunt Li Shiyi here, the Gu family had a lot of scruples, and they blocked so much trouble for them.

When Aunt Li Shiyi returned to the village, everyone saw that she was radiant, and that she had brought so many things back, as well as wages. They all envied her and said she was very lucky!Aunt Li Shiyi was also very proud, and she boasted a lot about how good the Zhao family was.

Everyone said: "The Zhao family is good, why don't you say it?"

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, every family is willing to buy a box of moon cakes, cut a few catties of meat or kill a chicken, thanks to the Zhao family's blessing!

Aunt Li Shiyi’s daughter, Li Xiaoying, married in Pan’s family in Bajiaozhai, which is adjacent to Zaihu Village. Her son-in-law Pan Erzhu, her grandson and granddaughter Liang Geer and Xiaoduo went back to her natal home to see her before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Excellent, now I know that she is working in Yancun.

Although the land of the two villages borders each other, each family is busy with their own affairs on weekdays. Naturally, it is impossible to inquire about the affairs of the natal family or go back to the natal family every day, unless there is something wrong.

Li Xiaoying feels sorry for her mother alone. When she comes back with her husband and children on New Year's Day, she will bring a lot of New Year's gifts. The only thing she feels guilty about is that all the money in the family is in the hands of her mother-in-law. , but this cannot be given to the mother.

Unexpectedly, when she came back this time, her mother actually brought out moon cakes, pastries, and even peanut candies for her children, but Li Xiaoying was startled, and said hurriedly: "Mother, what are you doing with so many things? They eat them." It’s the same if you don’t eat it, kids, it’s too wasteful! You have to keep the money for yourself!”
