Chapter 23

The dead are the most important, Kong Zhongyou brought out the dead. Even if he was not satisfied, no one would say anything, but you can imagine what he thought in his heart.

"Village Chief, I know you are for my own good and everyone is taking care of me, but the more I do this, the less I can't take advantage of everyone. My parents have gone, and I don't want their share. Now is a difficult time, and we should work together to overcome the difficulties.

Although I am a little weak person, I also want to do my best. I remember everyone's good deeds in my heart."

After hearing Jiang Xinyu say this, the people who were dissatisfied just now felt embarrassed, and their expressions were a little bit huge.

"Xinyu, it's okay, you'd better keep it." Kong Zhongyou advised.

"Missary chief, I really can't ask for it. Just give me what I should give me, thank you."

Speaking of this, Kong Zhongyou no longer persuaded him. The team leader there was Zhou Lihong's father, Zhou Jiaxing, who weighed six taels of sweet potato noodles and poured them into the Shengzi she brought over.

Why is this called a lever? The capacity of this iron container is one liter.

Jiang Xinyu went to the side again and distributed a pound of dried sweet potatoes and a pound of dried wax melons.

I sent the food home and looked at the noodles that had not been delivered. But I couldn't wait anymore. I came back to steam it later. I carried the basket on my back, took a hatchet, and hugged him to find Wang Ailing.

Their family lined up in front of her, so the brother and sister packed up their supplies and were waiting for her.

The three of them didn't joke along the way and rushed to the mountains.

Boys are more familiar with the mountains than them.

Wang Xiaolong led the way in front, and the two followed behind. Now that they entered the mountain, Jiang Xinyu also had the intention to speak. He approached Wang Ailing, "Sister, I'm giving away the dough. I'll steam buns to you tonight."

"Why are you, a prodigal girl, still steaming buns? You should eat porridge all day, just like the cafeteria, so that you can hold on for a few more days."

"Sister, I'm greedy. This time."

"You, you can live your life by yourself in the future, so you have to be more refined."

"Listen tonight, just click me to knock on the door."

"You steam in the middle of the night, that's safe."

"Well, I'm obedient. I'll give it to you after steaming it, and I'll ask you to help me push the mill."

"Yeah." Wang Ailing did not refuse.

Jiang Xinyu looked at her watch and had been away for more than two hours. Haven’t arrived yet?

"It'll be here soon, don't worry about you two." Wang Xiaolong seemed to be able to feel the two of them were anxious and turned around to comfort them.

Now the trees here are obviously much denser, there are even more dead branches under your feet, and there are many trunks that have been blown down by the wind. Others can't get them back, so I can do it myself. I come here alone in a few days and take them back. This saves a lot of time to cut branches.

Jiang Xinyu looked around curiously, and there was nothing to eat.

"There is a small valley ahead. Let's go there to see it. I tell you two, if there are fewer people, you can't come."

Both of them nodded, and Jiang Xinyu suddenly found a gray rabbit running over.

"Brother Xiaolong, there are still hares here."

"Well, some, I just can't catch this rabbit."

After walking for another ten minutes, I finally arrived at the valley that Wang Xiaolong mentioned. It was similar to the valley he went to. The mountain opposite was not a poor mountain. (The so-called poor mountain is all stones.) The mountain is not steep and there is a lot of vegetation on it.

"Okay, you two look around, don't be too far away from me."

The three of them moved forward in a triangle. Jiang Xinyu saw a lot of mountain dishes, which can be eaten, and now they will take them back as long as they can be eaten. No one has come here yet, and when they react, they will have to pass through the border like locusts.

I searched for more than an hour, but I didn't find anything.

Slowly he went up the gentle slope, and finally Jiang Xinyu discovered the yam. And it was a large piece.

"Brother Xiaolong, sister, come here quickly, there is something good here."

When the two of them heard Jiang Xinyu's words, they both ran over. They saw densely covered seedlings with frost and many small beans on them.

"Xinyu, what is this?" Wang Ailing asked.

"Sister, this is yam, a Chinese medicine, just like sweet potatoes, they all eat rhizomes. I'll dig it for you to see."

Jiang Xinyu put down the basket, took out the hatchet, cut off the seedlings, and then dig them.

After a while, the fat yam pole was exposed.

"Sister, this is it. The porridge is soft and glutinous inside. It can be eaten by steaming, stir-frying, and cooking."

"Xinyu, I'll do it, you have little strength."

Jiang Xinyu immediately stood up and moved out of the position. "Brother Xiaolong, you have to be careful and don't break it."

Wang Xiaolong nodded. This is what Jiang Xinyu knew even if he didn't say it.

It was like sweet potatoes, one by one, and within a while, this plant was dug out and filled in half a basket.

The three of them were excited now. Wang Xiaolong also brought a machete and Wang Ailing joined in. Jiang Xinyu had nothing to do, so she turned around and found that there was really a lot of yam.

Wang Xiaolong has been in the mountains for a long time and is still very experienced. He also brought two snakeskin bags. After two hours of use, the three of them were filled with the baskets and two snakeskin bags. It was all past three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Let's go, let's come early tomorrow." Wang Xiaolong said that, using the seedlings to cover the place he had just dug.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinyu understood that she wanted to take it alone, so she liked it.

In fact, it looks like a basket, but not much. The yam is quite long and can only be placed vertically. But that's it. Jiang Xinyu had been useless for a long time before she stood up.

"Xinyu, can you do it?"

"Okay, absolutely, go."

The two of them were still following Wang Xiaolong, "Sister, we will be responsible for digging tomorrow, and let the uncle come to carry it in the afternoon. I have a flashlight at home. This was the last time I went to the city to buy it at the scrap station."

"Okay." Before Wang Ailing's turn to answer, Wang Xiaolong turned around and agreed.

Because I carry the basket, the speed is much slower than when I came here, which is also great, at least I don’t have to worry about meeting someone.

It was seven o'clock in the evening that three people returned to the village.

The Wang family's parents had been anxious for a long time, and they were relieved to see their son and daughter coming back safely.

Along the way, Jiang Xinyu had already told Wang Ailing how to add yam to cook porridge, and she also specifically told her that it would itch if the juice stuck to her hands when peeling. It didn't matter.

So when Wang Ailing came back, she asked her mother to burn the fire, and she peeled the yam skin. An hour later, the family took yam porridge.

Wang Jianqiang said, "This is a good thing. This year can pass with peace of mind."
