Chapter 21 Digging Bamboo Shoots

When we came back from the county in the afternoon, we threw more than 20 bundles of red hundred-yuan bills on the kang. I took off my shoes and sat on the kang. Zhi took pictures of me and the money with his mobile phone under the kang.

Jiang Zhi really didn't want me as a daughter-in-law who often twitches, so he took a few photos of me with his mobile phone, and I posed in all kinds of poses I could think of.

In the end, my aunt couldn't stand it anymore when she entered the house, and said to count the money quickly, and people will come to withdraw the money in a while.I just stopped.I also faintly heard my aunt complaining to Jiang Zhi, "How can you be so used to a daughter-in-law." I was embarrassed.

Honestly and my aunt counted the money that should be given by each family in advance, and counted several times for fear of making a mistake.After our family finished dinner, people came to withdraw money one after another.

These gossip villagers didn't leave after taking the money, and when they inquired about our buying a house here, we always told the outside world that we bought it for my mother-in-law and came here for my aunt.

After a while, the village elder also came.Taking this opportunity, he also announced to everyone that I bought a house, and also gave me Lao Jiatou's land and pine forest.

After hearing this, everyone did not express any opinion. They were too busy with their own fields, pine forests, and fungus, so they had no time to think about others.

Of course there are exceptions, such as Chen Cuihua.

She came here by herself today, she was the first one to come, and she didn't leave after taking the money, she just waited by the side, watched others come to withdraw the money, went up to ask how much they sold, and then muttered beside her Calculated, it helped us calculate how much it cost to collect the mountain goods this time.

Do you think that Comrade Chen Cuihua is just looking for trouble?Does it have anything to do with how much money we spent collecting mountain goods?I just heard that we spent another 20 yuan to buy Lao Jiatou's house, so I was not happy, and I muttered in my mouth, why are we so picky with so much money, why are we so rich and take advantage of us.

What do you say we have money to do with you? Is this hatred of the rich?
So when the village head announced that Lao Jiatou’s house was sold to us and gave us the land and pine forest as a gift, she quit.

She jumped out against it. "Village chief, that's not okay. 20 is the money to buy a house. They are so rich, how can they give away land and pine forests?" This is to make us spend more money to buy land and pine forests

Seeing her jumping out, the village head said, "Whoever buys this house, I will give him Lao Jiatou's land and pine forest. If you don't agree to give them away, you can buy it with 20 yuan. You Didn’t you say that 20 is the money to buy a house? If you can’t give away the land and pine forest, then I will give you the house and nothing else. When will you be able to hand in the 20? Our village is still waiting for the money to be used Woolen cloth."

Chen Cuihua immediately fell silent after listening to it, she really had nothing to look for.

The village head saw that no one was talking, so he said to Jiang Zhi, "If you have time, let your little uncle take you to recognize the pine forest. We are a family in the village, so we can't make a mistake. There is still land, you will find it this year. There is no rush to plant rice. You can discuss with your little uncle to see if you can plant some other crops. If you come back next year, you can plant rice together." After saying this, he got up and left .

Everyone saw that the village chief had left, and they all dispersed.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Zhi told his aunt that he wanted to go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow morning. The aunt said yes and sent her uncle to accompany her.

The next morning we came to the edge of the bamboo forest.I was so excited looking at the bamboo forest, this is the first time I dig bamboo shoots in this life.Jiang Zhi was worried about my irritability, so he took my hand before entering the bamboo forest and said, "I will enter the bamboo forest later, follow me closely."

I hurriedly nodded obediently.

The little uncle got into the bamboo forest first, and we followed, weaving and climbing along a hillside among the tall bamboos. In the bamboo forest, except for the tall and green bamboos, there were overgrown weeds everywhere. A small wildflower came into view.

The little uncle introduced to us as he walked, there are two types of spring bamboo shoots, one is thin and pointed shoots, you don’t need to dig with a hoe, but grab the roots with your hands and pull them out.This kind of bamboo shoots can be eaten dried or freshly fried.The other kind takes a lot of effort and must be carefully dug out with a hoe. Generally, it is made into smoked bamboo shoots, because this kind of bamboo shoots have astringent taste when eaten fresh, which is not delicious.After that, my uncle told us some tricks of digging spring bamboo shoots.

The little uncle opened the way with a firewood knife, Jiang Zhi carried a hoe on his shoulder, and I carried a big bamboo basket in my hand.I followed them while enjoying the scenery along the way. In my eyes, a piece of weeds and a handful of small flowers are also very attractive.Seeing that I was falling behind, Jiang Zhi turned his head and tried to pull me away. Suddenly, he looked behind me and said to me, "Don't move." He raised his hoe and threw it at the tree behind me.

I was startled, and looking back at the place where his hoe hit, it was a snake with its head smashed out.I immediately felt goose bumps all over my body, and I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.Without knowing it, I met the first snake in my life.

The little uncle saw us stop and walked back to see what was going on.Seeing the dead snake, he said, "It's terrified, it's okay, it's a flower snake, and it's not poisonous. In our bamboo forest, there are no poisonous snakes, so it's very safe." Snake, "This can't be wasted, let your aunt stew it when you go back."

Although it is not poisonous, I am still afraid.After that, I didn't dare to raise Erzheng again, and pulled Jiang Zhi's clothes with my hands, fearing that there would be another snake.Jiang Zhi also became more careful, observing his surroundings carefully.

But after a while, our tense atmosphere was replaced by the novelty of digging bamboo shoots.

We searched hard behind the little uncle. My uncle has sharp eyes and can always find bamboo shoots. We help dig out fat and fresh bamboo shoots, put them in the basket I took, and the basket will arrive in Jiangzhi soon. I have it in my hand, because the bamboo shoots are too big, and the basket is already full without digging a few.The basket is too heavy for me to carry it.

I handed the basket to Jiang Zhi, empty-handed, looking for traces of bamboo shoots everywhere.Often when I was looking for bamboo shoots, I saw a snake-like shadow next to the bamboo, and I screamed. When everyone came, I realized that it was not a snake, but a grass branch.

I sent a false alarm this morning, and I couldn't find a single bamboo shoot, and I was tired of shouting.

When I sat down to rest, I accidentally saw a pointed head protruding from the pile of fallen leaves next to me.

It's bamboo shoots, this time I let out a happy scream, urging Jiang Zhi to quickly dig with a hoe.

We dug in the bamboo forest all morning and harvested a lot.When I came back, Jiang Zhi was carrying a full basket, carrying a hoe on his shoulders and walking side by side with my uncle. I proudly hugged the bamboo shoots I found in front, and showed off to my aunt all the way home.

I am very happy today, because I really like this kind of adventure, the feeling of treasure hunting.Of course I prefer the taste of bamboo shoots.

My aunt was also very happy to see us returning with a full load. Seeing my uncle still holding a flower snake in his hand, she said it was delicious. She stewed this snake at noon, and let us try it.

When the snake meat was on the table at noon, I looked at this small plate, like a snake and a scorpion.My aunt said that the snake is too small, so Jiang Zhi and I should eat more.My chopsticks were determined not to stick to the snake meat. Jiang Zhi only took one bite and stopped moving his chopsticks.

My aunt saw that we didn't eat it, and was very puzzled. Could it be that the cooking was not delicious?She also put a piece of meat in her mouth, it tasted very good.He asked Jiang Zhi, "Why don't you eat it, don't you like it?"

"I like it, auntie. Snake meat is delicious. I will save it for a while and finish the meal slowly." Jiang Zhi said the last sentence to me.

The little uncle and the little aunt just looked at me ambiguously, does this have something to do with my dime, why are you looking at me!

My aunt and uncle went into the house to rest without saying a word, and when they left, they laughed and said, "These two children have such a good relationship." Afterwards, Jiang Zhi and I were left in the room, struggling with the snake .

Jiang Zhi ate very slowly today, I finished eating, and he was still chewing slowly, I just waited for Jiang Zhi to finish eating, so I could clean up the table.

At my aunt's house, I have to behave. If Jiang Zhi does everything, my aunt will definitely say that my niece and daughter-in-law are not good.How virtuous I am.

When I was narcissistic, Jiang Zhi kissed me, I was stunned, this is too bold, in broad daylight, he became lustful, I was thinking whether I was struggling, or I just followed, I felt Jiang Zhi put something into my mouth, I chewed it subconsciously, and it was meat, the meat was fine and delicate, and my lips and teeth were fragrant.

When I realized it was snake meat, I looked at Jiang Zhi.Jiang Zhi had already sat up straight, slowly holding a piece of snake meat with his chopsticks, about to put it into his mouth.

I yelled, stepped forward and ate the snake meat that Jiang Zhi was about to put into his mouth, stretched out my hand to the plate, dragged the plate in front of me, picked up the chopsticks again, and started "one piece for me, one piece for you" Divide the spoils.Jiang Zhi looked at me helplessly.I ignored Jiang Zhi's gaze, and quickly attacked the snake meat in my bowl, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

I looked at my empty bowl, and turned to look at Jiang Zhi pitifully.Jiang Zhi couldn't stand my eyes in the end, and fed me the snake meat piece by piece.Looking at the gentle eyes Jiang Zhi looked at me, I kissed Jiang Zhi's cheek with my oily mouth, and also sweetly said "Hubby, you are so kind".

The snake was not that big, Jiang Zhi didn't eat a few bites at all, I ate it all.I looked at the empty plate and thought angrily, why is this snake so small!
