The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 9 Moon Shadow Mountain

Erxing is the second son of the eldest brother's family, Yue Zhixing, who is 9 years old this year.

They were surprised when they heard that their little aunt was going up the mountain. She had never been to the mountain before, and she had never done such work as digging wild vegetables.

But if my little aunt wants to go, they will accompany her and protect her.

Yueying Mountain is right next to Yueying Village. It is a mountain with a low altitude. It covers an extremely large area. The villagers only dare to move around the periphery. It is said that there are large beasts deep in the forest, and it is easy to get lost. Except for the hunters in the village, no one People dare to go inside.

Going up the mountain, many people are digging wild vegetables here.

During a severe drought, people almost don’t have enough water to drink. There is no extra water to irrigate farmland, and there is no way to grow vegetables.

That is to say, old forests like Yueying Mountain can still grow wild vegetables, and the drought in my own field is so dry that weeds can hardly grow anymore.

Fortunately, their village is backed by Yueying Mountain, so they don't starve to death. I heard that many places have already begun to flee famine.

When they arrived at the place, after telling Haoyue Mingzhu not to run around, Dagao began to squat on the ground and dig wild vegetables. Erxing looked around to see if he could be lucky enough to find wild eggs or bird eggs to improve his food.

Erxing is a very nimble boy. He can climb up a tree with just one scurry, just like a monkey.

Most children in the village can climb trees, but it is rare for them to climb as fast and as high as Erxing.

If you want to find bird eggs, you have to climb to higher places. The children have already dug out the low bird nests, and there are no eggs at all.

The birds also learned to be smart and built their nests higher and higher.

Erxing is good at climbing trees, so he can find bird eggs almost every time, which makes the children in the village envious.

In the past, some children wanted to snatch Erxing's eggs, but after being beaten by Erxing several times, they no longer dared to do so.

Despite his young age, Erxing was a very fierce fighter, the type who would risk his life in a fight. Moreover, this kid was extremely agile, and even kids a few years older than him couldn't beat him.

Yue Mingzhu watched Er Xing climbing the tree and sighed in her heart, this child is extremely talented. He is a good material for martial arts and cannot be wasted.

Just as he was thinking about it, Er Xing's excited voice came from the tree, "Little aunt, big brother, I found bird eggs. There are eight of them. I have never found so many eggs in one nest."

"Er Xing is really awesome." Yue Mingzhu praised Er Xing.

Erxing's eyes instantly brightened. Her little aunt had never praised her before.

The people digging wild vegetables under the trees were also envious, but they didn't have this skill and could only dig wild vegetables honestly.

After taking out the eggs, Erxing came down from the tree and carefully put the eggs into his backpack.

I thought, I can add some food to my little aunt in the evening and give her a good supplement.

Yue Mingzhu asked Erxing to accompany her for a stroll in the woods.

When she walked to a place where no one was around, she took out a pheasant from the space and threw it on the ground. She pretended to be surprised and shouted, "Erxing, there is a pheasant!"

The pheasant was probably a little confused and stupid. Erxing reacted very quickly. He jumped forward and pounced on the pheasant.

"Little aunt, little aunt, I caught a pheasant, I caught a pheasant." Erxing was almost crazy with joy.

This is pheasant, it is meat. He goes up the mountain almost every day, but he has never caught a pheasant.

The first time my little aunt went up the mountain, he caught a pheasant. From now on, he would often drag her up the mountain.

Erxing felt happy.

Da Gao came over quickly when he heard the noise. When he saw the pheasant in his second brother's hand, his mouth watered.The second brother is really awesome.

People in the village also gathered around. Although it was awesome to pick out bird eggs, it was not unusual. Almost every child in the family had picked out eggs. But pheasants were different. So many people went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables every day. Pheasants are very good at this thing. , when they see people, they will run away without a trace and will not approach people at all. Except for the hunters in the village, almost no one can catch the prey.

Erxing is so lucky.

A cheeky boy came over and said, "Er Xing, you are really good. This pheasant is really fat and must have a lot of meat. When your stew is ready, give me a piece of meat."

It’s almost hard to drink porridge these days. Meat is something I don’t dare to think about. During the New Year, I can only dip some minced meat into it. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

"Er Xing Er Xing, we have a good relationship, you can give me a piece too." More and more boys gathered around Er Xing begging for meat.

"Go, go, go, go, we don't have enough to eat at home." Erxing is not stupid, he will not give away the meat after being complimented with a few words.

Today we dug out bird eggs and caught pheasants. Da Gao and Er Xing quickly dug some wild vegetables and took their little aunt down the mountain.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them shouted excitedly: "Grandma, Grandma, we caught a pheasant today!"

Mrs. Wang came out of the house and saw that Erxing was holding a pheasant in his hand.

Normally, if you catch a pheasant, it is impossible for your family to eat it. If you sell it, you can get dozens of pennies. But seeing the expectant looks and swallowing looks of a few little ones, the old lady softened her heart. .

When she announced that she had stewed for dinner, the little ones jumped three feet high with excitement.

Mrs. Su quickly picked up the knife and killed the chicken. Her cooking skills were not as good as those of her elder sister-in-law, so her elder sister-in-law was in charge of the cooking tonight. She killed the chickens and set the fire.

There were many people in the family, and one pheasant was simply not enough to eat, so I cut up a few large radishes left over from the winter and stewed them in a large pot.

The big pot was steaming and the aroma was so fragrant that the boys stopped playing around and just waited for the meal to begin.

This aroma can drive the neighbors crazy. This family is really good. Yesterday they stewed old hens and today they stewed pheasants. Who are they going to be hungry for? The children at home were clamoring for meat yesterday, and today they are clamoring for rice. I almost couldn't eat anymore. I couldn't find the money to buy meat. I beat the child until he stopped.

Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, finally dinner is served.

A large pot of stewed chicken with radish was brought to the table, and multigrain pancakes were also made. It was almost as good as the Chinese New Year. No, it was not as good as the Chinese New Year last year.

According to the financial conditions of Yue Mingzhu's family, it should be okay to eat some meat every once in a while, but all the delicious food is eaten by Yue Mingzhu, who has to support Yue Mingxuan's studies, and Yue Pengfei, who is enjoying the autumn wind.

The expenses are really high. How can we spend all the money on food? It would be nice to have enough food.

Although the children were very greedy, they almost all ate the carrots in a tacit agreement and gave the meat to the little aunt. This is a family tradition that does not need to be announced.

The radish dipped in chicken flavor was also very fragrant, and the children were satisfied with it.

Yue Mingzhu could only put another piece of meat into everyone's bowl, "Everyone eats meat. I want to lose weight. I can't eat so much. If it's still the same as before, how can I lose weight?"

Mrs. Wang understood clearly that her daughter was determined to lose weight, and she seemed to be more sensible than before after going through that experience.

Although she felt sorry for her daughter, she knew in her heart that it was a good thing for her to be sensible. She would eventually get married, and her mother-in-law would not pamper her daughter like her own family, just like Mrs. Zhang, alas!
"Eat, eat, Zhuzhu lets you eat, you just eat. If you eat meat, you have to protect Zhuzhu even more. You know, Zhuzhu is a girl. If anyone dares to bully Zhuzhu, you have to give it to me even if you risk your life." Protect."

Mrs. Wang is worried. Her daughter is too simple and does not understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. She doesn't know how she will be punished by Zhang's widow in the future. Humph, if Zhang dares to bully her daughter, she will bring someone to beat her up.

Everyone ate happily, not to mention a few kids, even the adults had full stomachs.

After eating, the two sisters-in-law worked more efficiently.

Old man Lian Yue took out his cigarette rod and sat comfortably in the yard, smoking.
