Chapter 118 The Sweet and Sour Unexpected Harvest

In the early morning, the mountains and forests are filled with mist. Unknown birds are used to getting up early, squatting on the branches, combing their feathers and singing loudly. The whole world is extremely peaceful and beautiful.

Old man Tai woke up from his sleep due to the noise, shook his sore shoulders and neck, and glanced up at the still noisy bird, which was so startled that the bird immediately spread its wings and flew away.

He raised his head and looked around, but saw his eldest son sleeping by the campfire with a hatchet in his arms. He frowned. He wanted to see the children in the shack, but he heard Yang Lihua suddenly shouting.

"Where are the pearls!"

The old man suddenly jumped up and asked, "Isn't Zhuzhu sleeping inside?"

Yang Lihua shook her head desperately, her face turned pale with fright. She had been in a daze just now, and when she reached out and touched her daughter, she was no longer by her side!

At this moment, Tai Jizu was also awakened.

As soon as the three of them split up to look for it, the big black horse kicked out from the nearby woods with a sesame ball on its back, followed by a little girl, isn't it just Zhuzhu?

"Zhuzhu!" Mr. Tai and the three rushed over immediately.

Yang Lihua got angry with her daughter for the first time, slapped her on the butt, and cursed, "Where did you run away! This is the forest, what if a tiger snatches you away!"

Zhuzhu held a lot of small white flowers in her arms. After being beaten like this, they all fell to the ground.

She jumped directly into Grandpa's arms, and hugged Grandpa's neck skillfully, like a golden monkey hanging on a big tree.

"Grandpa, help me, mother is beading!"

The old man was also worried. He wanted to reprimand his granddaughter but was reluctant, so he could only sigh in the end.

"Next time you want to play, you must wake up Grandpa."

Zhuzhu curled up her neck and nodded vigorously, then pointed at the little flowers and said aggrievedly, "The flowers smell so good. Zhuzhu picked a lot of them. I want to sew them into my mother's pillow so that she can sleep with the fragrance."

Yang Lihua already regretted beating her child, and she felt even more guilty after hearing this.

Parents may be disappointed or angry because their children do not meet their expectations, but in their children's hearts, their love for their parents will not be compromised by anything.

She stretched out her hand to rub her daughter's little head, and responded with a choked sob, "Zhuzhu, mother don't want to be flamboyant. Next time, don't run around. If you are well, mother will be happy."

Zhu Zhu seemed to understand, she hesitated for a while, then leaned out, and smacked her mother's face, "Mother is not angry, Zhu Zhu is obedient."

The old man and others felt sour in their hearts. The last time Zhuzhu was kidnapped, it had become an indelible shadow for the family. No one could bear it happening again.

Tai Jizu was happy that his daughter had recovered, and thinking that his daughter liked to be in the mountains, he suggested, "Father, you've come here, let's go to Mother's grave?"

"Okay, there's no need to clean up here. Let's take a walk and then go home." Mr. Tai naturally agreed.

The family simply ate something and went to the top of the mountain with a basket on their backs.

Of course, Sesame Ball had to follow, but the big black horse was left to watch "home" and eat more tender grass along the way.

There were no roads in the forest, but the Tai family walked a lot, and gradually stepped on a small mountain road.

Zhuzhu didn't want her family to carry her back either, she jumped up and down behind her two elder brothers, occasionally picked a small flower and laughed crisply, which made the whole family feel happy.

Soon, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain. Tai Jizu and Yang Lihua personally pulled out the weeds on the grave and gave Zhuzhu a few pieces of snacks.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue ran around, dug up some colorful wild flowers, and planted them around the grave.

Zhuzhu sat in her grandfather's arms, and her grandfather and grandson sat in front of the grave as usual, looking at the scenery in the distance for a long time...

Old lady Tai is a typical peasant woman who escaped from the famine in the south and married into the Tai family in order to survive.

But her husband was away in the army, and he only came back in a day or two. It was very difficult for her to pull the children to farm and live. In order to support the family, she had to develop a vigorous and bold temperament.

Therefore, after marrying a daughter-in-law in the family, she scolded whenever she should, and taught when she should teach, but she never let her daughter-in-law be wronged and suffered.

Yang Lihua missed her mother-in-law very much, especially after her mother-in-law passed away and she became the head of the family.

She thought she was well-educated and well-mannered, but when walking around the village and interacting with outsiders, sometimes she had no reason to speak and could only speak loudly and aggressively.

Therefore, she also understood the difficulties of her mother-in-law for so many years.

At this moment, while she was busy, she talked to her mother-in-law about the changes in the family.

Zhuzhu has become smarter, and there is no shortage of food and drink at home. Her brother-in-law has become more successful, and her sister-in-law has divorced her natal family and built a new yard.

Firstly, I wanted to report the good news to my mother-in-law, who was under the influence of Jiuquan. Secondly, I also asked my mother-in-law to continue to protect the safety and health of the family, especially Tai Jiye and Tai Yongan who are still outside.

I don’t know if the old lady under Jiuquan really heard it, but before leaving, Sesame Ball called to the grave several times...

It is not difficult to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down the mountain.

The old man was afraid that his granddaughter would fall, so when he went down the mountain, he stuffed the fat girl into a wicker basket and carried it on his back.

The two brats Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue never knew what danger was, and they were still walking fast ahead.

Yang Lihua was worried and shouted twice.

As a result, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue did not respond. Instead, they followed Sesame Ball and ran into the nearby woods.

Tai Jizu was afraid of insects and snakes, so he quickly followed, only to hear two boys cheering loudly.

"Mom, there are wild berries here, they are all red!"

"Grandpa, sister, come quickly!"

The family hurried over, and it turned out that there was actually a cave in the woods, hiding a small sunny hillside with no trees, but the ground was covered with wild berry seedlings with roots attached, and the small fruits were ripe and red. The leaves are like rubies inlaid on the green blanket.

"Oh, it's really rare, there are so many red berries!"

Yang Lihua was also overjoyed, and kept shouting, "There are so many, we can't finish them even if we pick them back, we can make jam. I just want to give Manager Min a gift in return!"

Tai Jizu walked around the hillside and saw no footprints of wild beasts, so he asked the old man to put Zhuzhu down.

Zhuzhu was so anxious that when she landed, she ran over with her little fat legs and picked a red berry, and then put it directly into her grandfather's mouth.

The old man was smiling, he couldn't taste the sourness of the berries at all, and in his heart, the berries were sweeter than honey!
The family felt like they had discovered a treasure, picking and eating, and soon their teeth fell out. The sour feeling when they closed their mouths was indescribable.

But in this wild berry field, almost all the red fruits were put into baskets, filled to the brim...

After returning to the temporary camp in the small valley, the big black horse immediately came up to meet him, sneezing, wagging its tail, and scratching its hooves, as if very angry.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue thought the big black horse was angry because they couldn't go up the mountain together, so they quickly fed it red berries.

The big black horse was greedy, but slowly lost its temper.

The old man saw that something was wrong and gave Tai Jizu a wink.
