Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 29
The bamboo grove Xiao Ting picked happened to be filled twice in her basket, so she poured all the bamboo fungus into Jing Niang's big basket, fortunately, all the cakes she brought in the morning were eaten at this moment.

At this time, Xiaocao and Jingniang also finished peeling the bamboo shoots, and put them all in the big bag that Jingniang used to hold the millet, which was more than half of the bag, and it looked like it weighed a hundred catties.Xiao Ting looked a little worried, how can I get it back.

Looking up at the direction of the sun, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon.So he talked to Jingniang again about going to the woods behind, but he couldn't get his daughter back, so he agreed again.

They kept the grass here to watch the bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus, and took a rest by the way. After all, they were tired after peeling the bamboo shoots for more than two hours.

The couple went to the bamboo forest behind.Xiao Ting sighed while walking, this ancient tree is good, tall and big.There are trees on this mountain. I guess there are pheasants, rabbits, foxes and so on. In short, I have thought about all kinds of possibilities in my mind, maybe there are fungus, mushrooms and so on.It's just that these things are usually released after rainy days.The weather has been relatively warm and sunny these days.So I gave up the idea of ​​looking for mushrooms and fungus.

The two women watched while walking, Jing Niang mainly wanted to look at the things around her, she and her daughter had to take good care of her daughter when they came out.Xiao Ting, on the other hand, was looking for something that could be brought home and sold for money.

Tired from walking, Xiao Ting and Jing Niang sat under a big tree to rest.Even though Xiao Ting sat down, her eyes were still rolling.There are all kinds of animals in the woods, so she thought, why not dig a hole and make a trap, maybe there will be meat to eat in a few days.He did what he said, and dragged Jingniang up to dig a hole.Otherwise, Jing Niang said when she was at home, and she listened to her daughter.So the couple cut down trees and dug a hole.It's just that chopping trees with a kitchen knife is really troublesome, and Jingniang's mouth is throbbing with pain.Xiao Ting watched her mother struggling with chopping with a kitchen knife, and thought of buying a good knife when she sold it.

After cutting down a tree that Xiao Ting needed, Jing Niang looked at the gnawing kitchen knife distressedly, and her heart ached.You must know that the knife was bought for ten copper coins with a hard heart.

With the cooperation of Jingniang and Xiaoting, it took half an hour to dig a hole in a place with a little more grass in the woods, and Xiaoting planted some sharper branches under the hole.The top was covered with grass casually, and then walked back, it is estimated that Xiaocao is waiting anxiously at this moment.

The two of them walked back to discuss how to transport the bamboo shoots back.Xiao Ting thought about it, cut two bamboos, and used some vines to make a rope, tied the bamboos together, and put the bag on it, so that it would be much more convenient to drag it back.

So look around for better vines.Suddenly on the right front, Xiao Ting faintly saw something similar to a sweet potato vine. You must know that if it is really a sweet potato, it will be well-developed.She has been here for so long, there is no sweet potato at home, and she has never seen sweet potatoes in the market. She didn't see sweet potatoes at the village chief's cousin's house or Aunt Wang's last time, thinking that there must be no sweet potatoes in this place.It would be much easier if it were really sweet potatoes. You should know that this stuff is easy to feed and reproduces quickly.A sweet potato, cut into many sections, buried in the soil, can grow many in the future.And when these things are full, in the future, I can make dried sweet potatoes, sliced ​​sweet potatoes, sweet potato powder, thicken it when cooking, baked sweet potatoes can be sold for anything, can also make candied sweet potatoes, etc.

So he hurried up to confirm, and it turned out that it was really a sweet potato. This guy was so excited that he couldn't speak.You must know that she has loved sweet potato rice since she was a child. At that time, her father said that it was something she didn't eat when she was young. There was no rice to eat, so she could only eat sweet potato rice. At that time, she envied her father and said, I am so happy that I can eat sweet potato rice every day.

"Mother, this is a sweet potato. It's good. Let's get it back. This vine can also be used to raise pigs, and it's fresh and tender. It can also be cooked and eaten." While talking, Guan's mother wanted to pick up a knife and dig sweet potatoes.

In fact, that piece was not much, just a few sweet potato vines, and a total of twenty relatively large sweet potatoes were dug up, each of which weighed more than a catty.She wants to keep some here and come digging when the time comes.In their yard, she is going to dig a hole to plant sweet potatoes.

The couple got some vines, packed sweet potatoes, and walked back. Xiaocao was waiting there, and the three quickly chopped bamboo, tied the bamboo shoot bag to the bamboo, and dragged it down the mountain.

This time I went up the mountain and harvested a big bag of bamboo shoots, a big basket of bamboo fungus, and more than [-] big sweet potatoes, which can be called a bumper harvest.

When the three of them passed by Aunt Wang's house, Xiaocao went back. Xiaoting took two bamboo shoots and asked Xiaocao to go home to cook and eat, and told her how to do it, and borrowed a small hoe to go home.

Xiao Ting thought to herself that she would not be able to go back anyway, forget it, she will be Xiaohua from now on, and she will live as Xiaohua from now on, and she can no longer treat herself as another person, after all how good this family treats her, She still understands how much she feels, and she also knows how to be grateful. From now on, it will be like this. From now on, Xiao Ting will be Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua will be Xiao Ting, and she will live on instead of Xiao Hua.

When the two returned home, it was almost time to make dinner. At this time, many people came home after finishing their work. On the way, someone looked at Xiao Hua's face curiously, because their family had a lot of trouble a few days ago. Just in time to see if she's getting better.

The weather changed as it said, the sun was still shining at noon in the morning, but now it was overcast, the weather was gray and a little depressing, and it was estimated that it would rain drizzle at night.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the house, Xiao Hua thought about planting sweet potatoes in the yard, and when she saw her grandma cooking, she begged her mother to help her reclaim the yard, took out the small hoe she borrowed from Aunt Wang's house, and followed her The mother's rear is working hard.No matter how much can be done before dark, it counts as much as it can be cultivated before it rains.And when it rains, she can also plant her sweet potatoes by the way, which is nourished by the spring rain, which is great, and saves her from watering.

The couple didn’t actually reclaim much before dark, only about 50 pings, not even a piece of land, but fortunately, the yard is big, even if so much has been reclaimed, you can still feel the emptiness of the yard.

A few days ago, one of the pheasants had been killed by Mrs. Ruan, and it was hung to dry like bacon. According to Mrs. Ruan’s intention, when Xiao Hua’s grandpa’s grave is visited tomorrow, let her grandpa taste some , After all, life is not good these days, usually wild vegetables, pancakes made of rough noodles, plus a few wild fruits.It's rare this year to have meat, so let her grandpa try it too.I don't have any complaints about this little flower, I just feel a little pity in my heart that she missed a few pieces of meat.But it doesn't matter, this is filial piety, there is still some of it, you can eat more in the future, and your life will be better.

As for the other one that was used to incubate eggs, I don’t know if it was because of environmental changes. The pheasant did not cooperate at all, and one of the remaining 6 eggs was pecked by the pheasant. Dare to let it continue to hatch, and if an egg is broken, she feels distressed to death. You must know that the egg Xiaohua is sold for a penny, and you can buy 3 white flour steamed buns.
