In the afternoon, Gu Liang started his plan to fetch water, and secretly took the saw away when his family wasn't paying attention. It's not that Gu Liang didn't want to be aboveboard, but in this era of low productivity, these are rural treasures. Unless Gu Liang has a legitimate reason, it's unlikely to take it out. And now Gu Liang has little influence, even if Old Lady Gu favors him, he can't take it out at will, if it falls, it will be a big loss. Gu Liang walked around the main road to avoid pedestrians. In this early spring season, men are basically plowing in the fields, and women are basically either at home washing clothes for the winter, or weeding in the vegetable garden to prepare for planting vegetables. The fields are thriving, prosperous, and full of vitality. Looking at this scene, Gu Liang felt like staying there forever, but it was impossible for people to stay here, not to mention that the famine had only been going on for a few years.

When he came to the big bamboo forest in the back mountain, Gu Liang found out that this bamboo forest was public in the village and had no owner. Since the bamboo forest was close to the village, people often came and went, and there were fields next to the bamboo forest, so basically there would be no wild animals, and it was relatively safe. In this era, wild animals in the mountains were very prosperous and abundant, and jackals, tigers and leopards were really encountered. Old Lady Gu often educated Gu Liang and others at home, telling them not to go deep into the mountains, and it was best not to go up the mountain in the afternoon. Aunt Li's husband from the same village died in the mountains because of wolves, and his death was quite cruel.

Gu Liang chose to saw trees at the edge of the bamboo forest, because it could prevent the bamboo from getting stuck and unable to fall down after being sawed off. Bamboo is easy to saw, but now the saw is a bit huge for the 10-year-old Gu Liang, and it is not easy to operate. After working for an hour, Gu Liang sawed off five bamboos and got nearly 100 bamboo tubes.

As for the bamboos with too many branches and too thin and short bamboo tubes, Gu Liang was too lazy to use them. After all, there is a long time to come, and there are many bamboos, so naturally the good ones should be used first. All these 100 bamboo tubes were placed in the space by Gu Liang, and he was going to add water after a few days.

It was getting late, and Gu Liang took a saw to the place where he cut pig grass and cut a lot of pig grass. It must be said that this place where he cut pig grass is indeed a good place, with few people and a lot of grass. It takes less than half an hour to cut pig grass in other places, and the leaves of the mulberry tree grown here are also good pig food. The pigs eat them and they are delicious. They are worthy of being ancient pigs. If they are modern rural pigs, they eat better than humans and become picky eaters.

As for Gu Dabao who told him about this place, his family has a lot of work to do. He cuts pig grass, cuts pig grass, and cooks pig food. It is also very hard for a child under ten years old, but what can he do in this era?

In the next few days, Gu Liang spent one or two hours every day in the bamboo forest to saw bamboos as usual. Although no one noticed, Gu Liang's wife Chen still found clues.

"Where have you been playing these days? Why are your clothes dirty? Tell me if you went to the mountains," Chen asked.

"No, mother. It's hard to get pig grass recently. I walked a long way to get it full. It will be fine in a few days when the temperature rises." Gu Liang's real age is 30 years old. He is very good at fooling people and can speak freely. He is worthy of being an office worker who has been dealing with leaders for a long time.

Chen saw that he answered fluently and his eyes were firm and he didn't dodge, so she believed it. Little did she know that under this 10-year-old body, there was a workplace fryer who was older than him.

This morning, Gu Liang went to the bamboo forest as usual and found a handful of tender green on the ground.

"It's bamboo shoots," Gu Liang was happy. This is a good thing. Bamboo shoots are seasonal vegetables. They are only available in this season of the year and are also one of the mountain delicacies. People in the south have an inexplicable fondness for bamboo shoots, which are a symbol of spring. Bamboo shoots are crispy and tender with a sweet taste, which is rare.

Gu Liang used a bamboo stick to dig up the soil and wanted to take it home. Stir-fried bamboo shoots alone are a rare delicacy, and even brown rice can become delicious.

Gu Liang found a few bamboo shoots one after another and spent half an hour. He estimated that there would be one or two meals, so he was ready to go home. It’s not that he doesn’t saw bamboo anymore, but bamboo shoots, once unearthed, will start to age with the passage of time. It’s best to put them in the pot within one or two hours, otherwise they will be hard, lose their crisp and tender taste, and lose their freshness.

Gu Liang couldn’t bear to give up trying new things, so he carried bamboo shoots on his back and went home.

When he got home, he gave the basket to Chen. Chen thought it was pig grass at first, but it turned out to be bamboo shoots. He knew that Gu Liang had gone up the mountain, so he was furious and was ready to pick up the broom to teach Gu Liang a lesson.

Gu Liang stood

He was so scared that he screamed and screamed. He didn't expect Chen to react so strongly. He hadn't been chased and beaten for more than 20 years. Gu Liang hid and called grandma. At this point, he could only move this person.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you chasing and beating my good grandson like this?" Old Mrs. Gu asked angrily while hugging Gu Liang.

"Mom, this child repeatedly told him not to go up the mountain. Look, he actually ran up the mountain today. What if... " Chen looked at his mother-in-law's questioning face, and her momentum instantly dropped by more than half. After all, his mother-in-law has the final say in this family.

"Grandma, didn't I see that there were no vegetables at home? I thought that bamboo shoots should be out in this season, so I ran to the bamboo forest behind to look for them, and I really found them." Gu Liang blinked his big watery eyes at this time, and his face was coquettish, which made people feel distressed. The older Gu Liang gets, the more handy he is at acting coquettish and cute.

Seeing the good grandson like this, old lady Gu immediately felt distressed and said angrily: "What's there to beat? The child is kind-hearted. He knows that there is no food at home, so he takes the initiative to add a dish to the family. Besides, the child didn't go to the deep mountains. What's so scary about the bamboo forest behind? As for you, I see that you have ruined the only seedling of my Gu family. I wonder where you can find me another one."

Although old lady Gu is not particularly patriarchal, in this era, old lady Gu's thoughts must still love this grandson more. Sometimes she would secretly stuff an egg into Gu Liang and let Gu Liang eat it in a place where no one is around.

In fact, the other people in the Gu family also knew it well, but no one refuted it. They all knew that Gu Liang was the old lady's favorite. However, recently everyone felt that Gu Liang had changed a lot. In the past, he always showed off in front of his sisters, such as Da Ni and Er Ni, when he ate eggs, which made them cry with greed. Recently, Gu Liang took the initiative to divide the eggs into four petals with cotton thread and give them to his sisters, which eased the relationship between the brothers and sisters.

Gu Liang felt that as a person who had received nine years of compulsory education, the imprint of gender equality was deeply rooted in his heart, and he did not want to follow the old social system. However, Gu Liang was very greedy in this era of food and clothing shortages, and he was reluctant to give all of it to his sister, so he would keep a petal for himself to satisfy his craving. (Gu Liang's OS: Actually, I did it for my own physical development, not because I was greedy-_-)
