Chapter 11 Poisonous Mushrooms
Shuangxi’s mother hurriedly came to Liu Cuifen’s house and said to Liu Cuifen:
"Sister! I just saw Mrs. Cui working in the fields. I think we should take this opportunity to go by her house and have a look! I heard that she is over two years old and almost three years old and can't walk yet. Maybe she is like Big Pepper said
Is he a cripple?"
Liu Cuifen patted her thigh and said, "Sister-in-law! We want to get together! It's a good time to go there now. Since Mrs. Cui is not at home, we don't have to return the gift. Let's just take a look and leave!"
Liu Cuifen settled the children and walked out with Shuangxi's mother while saying, "It's not that I'm not particular, I really can't come up with anything to return the gift! Otherwise, I would have gone over to have a look!"
The two women have always been thinking about the new baby girl in the Qi family.
They have been paying attention to the child's condition, but they have never seen the child.
Out of curiosity, they wanted to see the child.
The two of them walked to Qi's house.
Suddenly, Shuangxi's mother stopped.
"Sister! I still feel uncomfortable if I go there empty-handed like this. Please bring something with you!"
"What to bring? There is nothing at home." Liu Cuifen said.
Shuangxi's mother thought for a while and said, "Let's do that! Your eldest brother picked up some mushrooms on the mountain yesterday, and the two big ones were as big as the mouth of a bowl! You should be able to handle such big mushrooms! You and I will take them over one by one, no?
Even if it’s embarrassing, it’s considered a return favor. What do you think?”
"Then why are you embarrassed?" Liu Cuifen said this, but she was happy in her heart.
Giving it away is better than not giving it away! She guessed that Mr. Cui would not be picky. After all, in the years of famine, life was difficult for every family.
Shuangxi's mother ran home, put two big mushrooms in a cloth bag, and went to Qi's house with Liu Cuifen.
…
"Bang bang bang!"
Xiao Kexin was busy cooking when she heard someone knocking on the door, so she went to the yard to take a look.
"Is Sister-in-law Cui at home?" a woman's voice said outside the gate.
The voice was unfamiliar, but it sounded friendly.
She guessed that she was a neighbor of the Qi family, so she opened the courtyard door.
What caught my eye were two women with sallow faces and thin muscles, who seemed to be about the same age as my mother.
"Are you going to leave? Are you...their daughter?" Liu Cuifen was very surprised.
The little girl in front of them is not only not ugly, but also very good-looking. She looks at them with a pair of big eyes, which is very cute.
Is this child the child Dajiao was talking about? She wondered.
She almost asked you if you were the child picked up by their family?
"Yeah! My name is Fubao." Xiao Kexin nodded seriously.
Sure enough it is!
What Big Chili Pepper said was really unacceptable. How could this child be what she said?
"My mother has gone to the fields to collect corn! Auntie, come in and sit in the house!" Qi Kexin asked the two aunties to sit in the house.
"This kid speaks so fluently and looks good."
Shuangxi's mother couldn't help but say.
She has never seen a child under three years old speak so fluently.
The two women looked at each other and clearly said:
This kid is very polite, not to mention Mrs. Cui likes it, they all like it.
"Thank you for the compliment, auntie!" Xiao Kexin looked at them with a smile.
"Ouch! Your little mouth is so sweet! Haha!"
The two women looked at the little girl who looked like a human being and smiled from ear to ear.
"Auntie, come in and sit down!" Xiao Kexin politely gave in again.
"No! We just came to see you. We should have come here a long time ago, but there are too many things at home! These are the mushrooms we picked up for you."
Shuangxi's mother handed a cloth bag to Xiao Kexin.
Ke Xin did not pick it up and said: "Auntie, keep it to eat! My mother said that mushrooms are difficult to pick. You need to go far into the mountains to pick them."
"It's worthless, you can't get rid of it, but we can't get anything good, so just accept it!" Liu Cuifen stuffed the cloth bag into Qi Kexin's hand.
Liu Cuifen and Shuangxi's mother were still a little embarrassed.
When they gave birth to a baby, Mrs. Cui gave them eggs, but when Ms. Cui gave birth to a daughter, they only gave her two mushrooms.
But there was nothing I could do. After two years of famine, my family had nothing, so I could only be thick-skinned.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiao Kexin accepted the mushroom.
"You little girl is so sensible."
Liu Cuifen couldn't help but kiss Xiao Kexin on her forehead.
Shuangxi's mother also looked at Xiao Kexin with joy.
"Good boy! Stay at home, my aunt is back!" Liu Cuifen lovingly patted Kexin's little head.
"Okay. Thank you, aunt."
…
After Shuangxi's mother and Liu Cuifen left, Qi Kexin was surprised when she opened the cloth bag.
These two big mushrooms turned out to be poisonous mushrooms called Amanita leucophylla!
Having studied Chinese medicinal materials in her previous life, she was well aware of the properties of various plants, and she could tell that they were poisonous mushrooms at a glance.
I think the two aunts must not know the white poisonous umbrella. It would be terrible if they eat it by mistake!
So I used my short legs to catch up.
I really caught up.
She was so tired that she asked out of breath: "Auntie, do you still have these mushrooms at your home?"
"No more! I only collected these two. Little girl, when your uncle collects more, I will give them to you immediately."
Shuangxi’s mother didn’t expect it to be a poisonous mushroom, and thought the little girl was coming to ask for it again!
Xiao Kexin shook her head vigorously, "Auntie! I'm not here to ask for mushrooms. I want to tell you that these are poisonous mushrooms. You must not eat these mushrooms!"
Shuangxi's mother and Liu Cuifen were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a moment and looked at each other.
Poisonous mushrooms can kill people!
He calmed down and asked:
"Fubao! Who did you hear about poisonous mushrooms?"
"Yes! Who did you listen to?"
"I know you!" Xiao Kexin looked serious.
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two women bent over laughing.
How can such a young child recognize poisonous mushrooms? Emotions are just a child's nonsense.
Suddenly my heart was relieved.
They would never believe that a three-year-old child could identify poisonous mushrooms.
In addition, according to common sense, poisonous mushrooms are brightly colored, but their mushrooms are ordinary gray-white.
"Auntie, if you don't believe me, ask someone! It's really a poisonous mushroom! You can't eat it!" Qi Ke felt anxious when he saw that they didn't take it seriously.
"Fubao, don't worry, let's identify it again."
Shuangxi's mother took out the poisonous mushrooms from the cloth bag and carefully identified them with Liu Cuifen.
It doesn't look like a poisonous mushroom at all.
They decided to find some elderly people in the village to show them. The elderly people have been through many things and should know them.
"Fu Bao! We won't eat it, don't worry. Go back! Let's take the mushrooms and find someone to identify them." Shuangxi's mother patted her child's little head and said with a smile.
"Auntie! No matter what others say, you don't want to eat." Xiao Kexin turned around and told her as she walked back.
"Don't worry! We won't eat."
Shuangxi Ma and Liu Cuifen put the mushrooms in their cloth pockets and turned around to ask the old village chief to take a look.
When they turned around, they found Big Chili Pepper standing behind them.
So I asked Dajiao to help me identify it.
Chapter completed!
