They filled two sacks of mushrooms, tied them up, and Hu Ling could lift them up like a load.
There are a lot of wild bamboos in the wild, and they then broke off some bamboo shoots. It wasn't much, about twenty kilograms, but it was enough for the family to eat for at least three days.
Zhao Liya saw wild mint and perilla in the mountains, so she carefully dug a lot, carefully wrapped the roots with large leaves and put them in a basket, ready to take them home and plant them under the corner of the yard.
Aunt Li Shiyi saw three shrubs full of red fruits and said happily: "I'll pick those fishing rods and bring them back to Axiang, Alin and the others to eat. Children all love this!"
Zhao Liya took a look and saw that it was a raspberry. It was taller than a person. The main trunk was as thick as two thumbs and was about 1.67 meters long. It was hanging down in a curve. It didn't look like a fishing rod.
The three trees they saw had lush branches and leaves, and the fruits were full and abundant. Each one was almost the size of a thumb, shaped like a strawberry, bright red, and very attractive.
But there are many thorns growing on both the branches and leaves.
Zhao Liya hurriedly said: "Aunt Eleven, be careful with the stabbing."
Aunt Li Shiyi said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we country people have long been used to it, why are we afraid of this? Hey, don't come here, you have to be careful!"
While picking and wrapping them in big leaves, she added: "It's a pity that you came at the wrong time. The March bubbles have already passed. When there are more, they are called more! At the foot of some mountains and in the valleys, there are large tracts of them.
So sweet!”
Zhao Liya laughed: "Really? Then we will have a good meal next year!"
Aunt Li Shiyi boldly confirmed: "Oh, that's right! I will take you to pick it when the time comes. The children will like it best!"
"That's great, thank you Aunt Eleven!"
"Haha, no need to thank you, you kid is very polite and courteous. You are worthy of being an official lady. I love you like this. People admire you when they look at you."
Hu Ling was still listening to their gossip with a smile, but when he heard this, his face changed slightly, he coughed, and quickly called Aunt Li Shiyi loudly and distracted him with something else.
Zhao Liya curled her lips slightly and naturally dropped the topic.
She actually didn't care about it, after all, she wasn't the one who was an official lady before. However, Hu Ling meant well, and she accepted it.
The three people returned to the village with a full load and returned to the village around three o'clock in the afternoon.
It was also a coincidence that I met Gu Sansao at the entrance of the village.
Sister-in-law Gu couldn't help but glance at the two sacks in their baskets, "Hey, where are they going? You're lucky."
At this time, the advantages of Aunt Li Shiyi, a native local, were revealed. Aunt Li Shiyi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I picked some mushrooms and bamboo shoots. There's nothing I can do about it. There's nothing I can do about it in the vegetable garden."
There is no food to eat, so don’t think of a solution!”
Where else could Mrs. Gu say anything else?
The family has no food to eat, and this is for emergency use. Do you want it too? Then do you give some food from your garden to others?
The most important thing is that even if she opens her mouth, Aunt Li Eleven will definitely reject her with confidence. She dares to be arrogant with the Zhao family, but she does not dare to do this to Aunt Li Eleven.
The local folk customs are strong and fierce, and all villages and villages are very united. They are so vigorous that even the county magistrate has to give in.
Gu Sansao snorted and left with an unhappy look on her face.
Aunt Li Shiyi frowned when she saw it, "In Yancun, your family is the best, some families are really terrible!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said sweetly: "Our family has the best luck, otherwise we wouldn't know Aunt Eleven, Aunt Sanniang, and Uncle Ruan Gui."
Aunt Li Shiyi laughed heartily.
When the three of them returned home, Zhao Liya saw her father and mother's obviously relaxed expressions, and then stepped forward to take their things with a smile on her face, "I'll do it, I'll do it, are you tired? Go wash your hands, wipe your face, and have a cup of herbal tea."
Fire and food have been left for you. Are you hungry? Go and eat quickly..."
Zhao Liya felt warm in her heart and agreed with a smile: "We didn't go too far. We were lucky today. We picked a lot of mushrooms. Aunt Eleven said they were all very delicious. If we can't finish them, we can spread them out to dry the mushrooms later.
I also brought back a lot of dry and bamboo shoots..."
"That's good, that's good..."
Zhao Xiang and Deng became happy after hearing what she said was so relaxed and lively.
After washing her hands and coming back, Aunt Li Shiyi took out the fishing rod she picked and soaked it for the two children to eat.
The two children looked at the bright red and plump little fruit, which was really beautiful. The faint sweetness rushed into their noses. They both became a little greedy, but they did not go for it immediately. They both looked at Deng with eager eyes.
The adults had a clear view of their expressions and couldn't help but laugh.
Aunt Li Shiyi was so happy that she boasted: "Oh, it really hurts! Don't be polite when I give it to you. Take it and eat it. It's so sweet."
Mrs. Deng also hurriedly smiled and said: "Take it, thank you Aunt Eleven quickly. Sister-in-law Eleven, thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Aunt Li Eleven waved her hand with a smile. Zhao Liya asked her to eat, so she went.
Mrs. Deng wanted to go to heat food for them, but Zhao Liya didn't let her do it. She would do it herself.
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin happily ate the fishing rod dip, and the fresh and sweet taste filled their mouths. They smiled with satisfaction and hurriedly went to feed Zhao Xiang and Deng. "It's really sweet, Dad.
, Mom, you guys should try it too!”
Zhao Xiang and Deng laughed and tasted it, praising them and the wild fruits. The whole family laughed and enjoyed themselves.
After Zhao Liya and the others had eaten, they hurriedly poured out the fir tree fungi and red fungi, intending to select the ones that were intact and the fat ones, spread them out to dry with a dustpan, and eat the ones that were not so good.
Anyway, it doesn't affect the taste if it doesn't look good, but when drying food, of course you have to choose good ones.
Don’t peel the bamboo shoots yet, put them into the storage room next to the kitchen together with the shells.
Just pile them in the corner.
The corner of the wall is grounded and the temperature is low, and the bamboo shoots in the shell will not go bad if left for three or four days.
While everyone was sorting out the fungi, Hu Ling took his fishing net and three bamboo cages for catching fish and planned to go to the river to try his luck.
If you're lucky, you can add more food tonight.
It’s easy to imagine how attractive fishing is to children.
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"Dad, Mom, I want to go too!"
"I want, too!"
Deng was startled, "No, no! The water is too deep by the river and it's too dangerous. You are still young, so you can't go near the river."
"Mom..." The two children were disappointed.
Zhao Liya thought for a while, stood up and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll go too, I'll watch over Xiang'er and Lin'er, don't worry!"
"Oh! That's great!" The two children couldn't wait to cheer.
Deng frowned: "But -"
"Let them go," Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "A Ling and Ya'er will take good care of them. Besides, they are not young anymore and are sensible. They know what they can and cannot do."
Deng moved her lips and smiled helplessly: "Okay, then you should be careful!"
The two children cheered and agreed in unison. They couldn't wait to pull their brother and sister to hurry them away. They were extremely anxious.
Seeing them go, Zhao Xiangfang said warmly: "Don't control them too tightly. They should get used to everything here."
Mrs. Deng nodded and smiled softly: "I understand, Master." This chapter has been completed!
