Chapter 11 Waiting for the Rabbit
"Dog, go and rest for a while." Nanzhi whispered softly at the sweaty dog.
The dog is still too young, and he is as weak as he has heatstroke. If the dog suffers, he will be afraid that he will lose half his life.
I remembered the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water that I despised and irresistible in the past, and it turned out to be a feng shui. Now it has become something I can't afford.
"Okay." Dog'er really felt tired. No matter how sensible he was, he was still a little baby.
After answering, he went to sit and play.
"Miss Liu, I want to borrow a donkey cart tomorrow. I want to take the chestnuts to the town and sell them for some food. Do you think you want to go with me?"
"Can chestnuts be sold at a good price?" Aunt Liu hesitated. She had also thought about this, but she was afraid that chestnuts would not be sold at any price. If they were sold at a low price, it would be better to eat them at home as food.
"The food price is rising so much now. Chestnuts can be sold for 5 cents per pound, and black noodles are now 5 cents per pound. I think I can buy more black noodles and store them." Nanzhi said.
"Black noodles are already 5 cents a pound?" Aunt Liu felt a little incredible. In previous years, when conditions were better, the family rarely ate black noodles because they were so angry that they were mostly people who couldn't eat them.
Nanzhi wiped her sweat and continued to explain, "Chen Mi has now reached eight cereals, the new rice has increased to 16 cereals per pound, white flour has increased by fifteen cereals, black flour has been reduced by five cereals, salt has been reduced by fifteen cereals per pound, and oil has been increased by forty cereals. I don't know what it will increase in the future."
Aunt Liu's heart sinks more and more, "Lin Girl, how long does it take to sell chestnuts in the town? I'll go with you."
"Tomorrow afternoon." Nanzhi nodded. She was still a little worried. If she really encountered something that robbed food, she would take the orphans and widows to deal with it. If Aunt Liu wanted to go, she would definitely bring the man from her family with her. In this way, she would not have to worry about any accidents.
It was not until they were about to go down the mountain that they found out that the dog was missing. Nanzhi felt panicked, afraid that something would happen.
He was immediately panicked and followed Aunt Liu and shouted about the dog.
"My mother! Mother! I'm here!"
After hearing the dog's voice from afar, the two of them felt relieved and looked for the sound.
Nanzhi was holding a small wooden stick in his hand and was originally angry and was about to scare Gou'er, but when he saw his appearance, he was stunned.
Due to long-term malnutrition, the dog is thin and small and looks a little taller, and is now sitting on the ground holding a fat, gray rabbit.
"Amma, Amma, rabbit." The dog grinned and looked at it with a mouthful of white teeth.
"Gou'er, where did you catch the rabbit?" Aunt Liu was so shocked that she was staring at the boss.
How old is this little doll this dog? How did he catch this big fat rabbit?
It seems that this rabbit has five or six pounds.
"The dog is shy, the rabbit is running over and hitting the tree." The dog grabbed the rabbit with both hands, for fear that it would run away, and grinned and explained the origin of the rabbit.
He kept listening to his mother and didn't run anywhere else. He was a good baby.
As a result, he saw a big rabbit running over and hit the chestnut tree.
Is this just waiting for the rabbit to shine into reality?
Nanzhi was full of question marks.
"Oh, what good luck do you have?" Aunt Liu said, "The West Mountain is so deserted. The wild vegetables that can be eaten have been picked. The dog can still pick a nest of pheasant eggs. Now the dog just comes here and picks up a big fat rabbit for free.
Nanzhi picked up the hare from Dog'er's arms, and weighed it, but it weighed five or six pounds. She sighed in her heart, "Look, she is indeed a non-Chief. Her cheap son picked up pheasant eggs and found straw mushrooms again. Now she has picked up such a fat rabbit for nothing. Why isn't it the European Emperor?
"My mother, my pants are wet." Dog blushed a little. He ran into this stupid rabbit as soon as he came over. Before he could swear, he was afraid that the rabbit would run away, so he kept holding it, but he couldn't hold back his pants.
Aunt Liu smiled when she heard Gou'er's words and said with a slight silly: "Don't be afraid of Gou'er, how could your mother be willing to spank you?"
With this rabbit, I felt more energetic when I went down the mountain with Nanzhi.
The rabbit was just knocked and there was nothing big about it. You can wait at home and pick some chestnuts and sell them together tomorrow.
It was already dark when I went down the mountain. On the road, I met a few people Nanzhi and said that they were going to Dongshan with Aunt Liu to dig some wild vegetables.
After returning home, Nanzhi dug half a bowl of chen rice in a grand manner, and cooked a pot of thick porridge with some chestnuts and potatoes.
"My mom, it smells so good." The dog took off his dirty pants and was just joking in the yard with his little butt. He smelled the smell and sucked his little nose into the kitchen.
"Okay, okay, go wash your hands and have a meal."
The mother and the mother were happy to eat, so they went to bed early after washing up.
Shen Dazhu was taken by his old woman to see what he had harvested today, and even the tobacco pipe almost fell to the ground.
A full of sacks of chestnuts made Shen Dazhu rub his eyes in disbelief.
"This, this, this, this, you brought it back?"
Didn’t the old woman say that she would follow Lin Yatou to dig wild vegetables and donkey grass today?
Seeing the old man stuttering, Aunt Liu proudly straightened her chest, "What about?"
"Where did you find so many chestnuts? Have you gone to rob?" Shen Dazhu pointed at the sack of chestnuts, his voice trembling.
"You old man, what are you talking about?" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes, "This was picked by Yatou Lin on the East Mountain. There is a large chestnut forest there."
"You have to tell Li Zheng about this. How many lives can a large area of chestnut forest save?" After that, he was about to put on his clothes and go out. As soon as he was about to move, he was grabbed by Aunt Liu.
"What are you doing, old woman? I told Li Zheng about this. How many lives can you save in the village? What are you doing with me?"
"You immortal, am I that kind of person?" Aunt Liu was also angry, "You need to be a good person? Lin Yatou told Li Zheng a long time ago, but she would take me to pick up some food for two days first."
Shen Dazhu scratched his head awkwardly, "I don't know this, don't I?"
Then Shen Dazhu changed his style to make Aunt Liu calm down.
The two families were lively, but there were a few faint lights on the East Mountain.
Wu was taking Old Man Li and Li Tian and others to wander on the East Mountain. During the day, she forgot to make some marks. When she first entered the mountain, she could still follow the road she drove by Nanzhi and the others. When she walked deeper, where could she find any traces of someone walking?
"Mr. Wu, what you said is true or false." Old Man Li smashed the pipette, and his tone could not hear any joy or anger.
This afternoon, Wu suddenly ran back and said that he had found a large chestnut forest on Dongshan.
Wu always thinks about being lazy, so why do he think about taking risks in Dongshan? He was slapped by Li Tian before saying that he was discovered by the little widow of the Shen family.
They hadn't seen the little widow much these two days, but they were afraid they were really busy picking chestnuts. Thinking of this, the whole family followed Wu into the mountain half-believingly.
I took ten baskets with my backpacks, hoping to fill them up and take them back.
As a result, I followed Wu for a long time, let alone the chestnut tree, and I didn’t even see a chestnut shell.
"Mother-in-law, believe me, there is really a chestnut forest on this mountain!" Wu was also a little panicked. Looking at his dark-faced mother-in-law, she explained in panic, for fear of being slapped by Li Tian again.
"How long have we all followed you on this mountain? Where is the chestnut forest?" Li Tian stared at Wu, as if she would swallow her alive if she didn't say it.
"I, I don't know either." Wu also felt wronged. He clearly saw it, why can't he find it now?
