The old lady said, "Auntie, what are you carrying?" "Nothing, just bamboo shoots growing. I took my daughter-in-law to dig some." "You dug quite a lot. It looks like there should be a lot of bamboo shoots this year." "Not much. We dug for a whole day to dig this much. Sister Zhao, if you want to eat, just take some. It's not a precious thing." "Sister-in-law, how can I be so embarrassed? I'll go dig it tomorrow and return it to you." The old woman said as she took out two fat bamboo shoots from the sack. "It's okay. We are all family. Just take it. You don't have to return it." Mrs. Gu said to her neighbor with a smile...

"Grandma, you're back." Gu Liang ran to Mrs. Gu and prepared to help him carry it, but he was too weak to lift it.

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Liang helping him carry things, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She felt that her grandson was becoming more and more sensible. When did it start? It seemed that it was after he fell and stayed in bed last month...

Mrs. Gu started to cook after returning home. Gu Liang's mother and second aunt were processing bamboo shoots and helping to peel them. When the sun was about to set, the rice was cooked, and the men of the Gu family also came back from the fields in a hurry.

Dinner was a bamboo shoot banquet, which actually only had three dishes, bamboo shoot soup, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and cold bamboo shoots. The whole family enjoyed the meal, but in Gu Liang's eyes, it was just like a panda ordering takeout - bamboo shoots were home.

At dinner, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu were discussing tomorrow's affairs. Mrs. Gu said that the villagers had seen them digging bamboo shoots today, and it was estimated that everyone in the village would be ready to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow morning. By then, there would be many people and few bamboo shoots, and there would not be much to find after a whole day.

"Mom, since everyone in the village knows that bamboo shoots have grown, there will definitely be a lot of people digging bamboo shoots tomorrow. Why don't we go to the foot of Dahei Mountain to dig while everyone is running to the back mountain? There are many bamboo forests there, and there must be few people who want to go there now." Chen said

"What the eldest daughter-in-law said is right, I think so too. Instead of going to the back mountain to compete with others, it is better to go to a place with fewer people and farther away."

At this time, Mrs. Li next to her had a little idea. It would take more than an hour to go to Dahei Mountain, and she would have to carry such a heavy thing when she came back. She didn't want to spend this effort. So she said to Mrs. Gu with a smile: "Mom, if you guys go, I won't go tomorrow. You guys will be gone all day tomorrow, and there has to be a woman to take care of the house. If you guys leave, there will be no one to cook for Dad tomorrow, so why don't I stay at home and take care of Gu Liang and Dani." Mrs. Li felt that what she said was perfect. She could be lazy and at the same time appear to be thoughtful.

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes at her second daughter-in-law, and she saw through her little thoughts at a glance. People who want to be lazy always have sufficient and fancy reasons. I am too lazy to expose them, but I can't really let her be lazy, so I said: "Second daughter-in-law is right. There must be someone at home, and the bamboo shoots must be cooked and dried overnight, otherwise the bamboo shoots will become hard overnight, and the roots will become inedible, leaving only the tips tender. In this way, your sister-in-law and I will go to bed after dinner. Second daughter-in-law, you wash the bowls and cut and cook these bamboo shoots overnight."

Li originally wanted to be lazy, but it turned out that this laziness didn't seem to be stolen. The work of cooking bamboo shoots is not easy to do. You have to watch it from the side to prevent the pot from overflowing and sticking. Because the amount of cooking is large and there is more than one pot of bamboo shoots, it will take three times to cook until the middle of the night.

Gu Liang heard that his family was going to the back mountain. He also had an idea. Since he came to this world, he has been wandering around this small place in the village and has not been to other places. He just wants to go to the mountains. Isn't it said that you live by the mountains and eat by the mountains, and live by the sea and eat by the sea. Going to the mountains by yourself might lead to some discoveries and useful things. Isn't it like this in novels and videos? Going to the mountains, you can see 100-year-old ginseng, 1,000-year-old ganoderma lucidum, etc., and become rich from then on.

"Grandma, I want to go too. Can you let me go with you?"

"Why are you going? You can't carry it, and you can't walk." Gu Liang's mother spoke quickly, thinking that Gu Liang was being childish.

"Mom, I promise I can walk, just let me go. Grandma, please persuade my mother. Although I can't carry it, I can help you get a hoe or something when I come back, okay? I'm grown up, and I want to see everything." Gu Liang felt that his grandmother was the breakthrough point, so he changed direction and acted like a spoiled child to his grandmother.

Sure enough, when Old Lady Gu saw him like this, how could she not agree? She nodded and said, "That's right, Liang'er is so old, he should go everywhere. Boys don't

I can stay at home all day like a girl. "

Gu Liang was very happy and thanked his grandmother. Da Ni and Er Ni also wanted to go, but they were rejected because they were too young.

After dinner, the Gu family members were busy with their own things. Gu Liang also went to bed early. His mother said that he had to get up early the next day and asked him to go to bed quickly. Since Gu Liang traveled back to ancient times The quality of sleep has always been very good. I start to feel sleepy after it gets dark. The previous life of partying in the middle of the night has gone to ashes. Now, as soon as I lie down on the bed, the sleepiness spreads all over my body and I fall asleep immediately.

The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Gu Liang was woken up by his mother, who told him to get up quickly and leave immediately after dinner. Old lady Gu and his mother got up earlier. The brown rice porridge was ready, so the three of them ate first. When Gu Liang got dressed, washed up, and went to the table, old lady Gu had finished eating and was baking dry biscuits for lunch, while his mother was packing sacks and checking hoes.

When Gu Liang finished his meal, the sky was already blue and white, and the moon was still in the sky, so the three of them were ready to go out. . At this time, Dabao's mother and his grandmother from next door also came over with hoes. It turned out that Mrs. Gu thought it was safer with more people, so she called Dabao's mother and others over.

Then the five of them set off. When they passed the paddy fields along the way, there were already people plowing the fields. The weak light of the sun shone on the plowed paddy fields, reflecting like a mirror, and the ripples stirred by the breeze were as smooth as silk.

Although such a scenery is beautiful, it can't stop Gu Liang and his friends. Soon, the dew on the grass by the roadside had wet their trouser legs, and there was some sweat on their foreheads. Gu Liang still followed closely behind. Since he asked to come here, he couldn't hold back.
