Chapter 17: super lucky
Chapter 17 Super Lucky
They packed two full sacks of mushrooms, tied the openings, and the beard collars could be picked up like a load.
There are also a lot of wild bamboos in the wild. They then broke some bamboo shoots, not many, about 20 catties, but enough for a 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, put them in a basket, and prepared to take them home and plant them in the corner of the yard.
Aunt Li Shiyi saw three shrubs full of red and bright fruits, and said happily: "I'll pick the fishing rods and soak them and bring them back to Ah Xiang and Ah Lin to eat. Children love to eat this!"
Zhao Liya saw that it turned out to be a raspberry, taller than a human being. The trunk, as thick as two thumbs, was about 1.67 meters long and hung down curvedly, not like a fishing rod.
The three trees they saw had lush branches and leaves, full and numerous fruits, each of which was almost the size of a thumb, shaped like a strawberry, bright red, and very lovable.
But there are many thorns growing on both the branches and the leaves.
Zhao Liya hurriedly said: "Aunt Eleven be careful."
Aunt Li Shiyi smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we country people are used to it, why are we afraid of this? Hey, don't come here, you have to be careful!"
She wrapped them in big leaves and said: "It's a pity that you came at the wrong time. The bubble in March has passed. When there are many, it is called many! At the foot of the mountain and in the valley, there are large areas. Insanely sweet!"
Zhao Liya laughed: "Really? Then next year we will be lucky!"
Aunt Li Shishi boldly reassured: "Oh, that's it! I'll take you to pick it when the time comes, children like it the most!"
"That's good, thank you Aunt Eleven!"
"Haha, no thanks, no thanks, you child is very polite and courteous, you are worthy of being an official lady, I love you like this, and people admire you just by looking at them."
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 diverted away with other words.
Zhao Liya curled her lips slightly, and naturally dropped the topic.
She actually didn't care about it, after all, she wasn't the official lady before. But Hu Ling had good intentions, and she accepted it.
The three of them returned with a full load and returned to the village around three o'clock in the afternoon.
It was also unfortunate that I ran into Mrs. Gu San at the entrance of the village.
Gu Sansao couldn't help but glanced into their back baskets and the two sacks, "Hey, where are you going? You're lucky."
At this time, the benefits of being a native of Aunt Li Shishi are revealed, and Aunt Li Shishi smiled and said haha: "It's okay, I picked some mushrooms and bamboo shoots, there is no way, the vegetable garden If you are naked and have no food to eat, don't think of a way!"
Where could Mrs. Gu San speak anything else?
The whole family has no food to eat, this is for emergency use, you want it too? Then, do you give some of the vegetables in your vegetable garden to others?
The most important thing is that even if she asks, Aunt Li Shiyi will definitely refuse with confidence. She dared to be arrogant with the Zhao family, but she didn't dare to do this to Aunt Li Shishi.
The local folk customs are tough, and all villages and villages are particularly united. They are really competitive, and even the county magistrate has to give in.
Sister-in-law Gu snorted, and walked away with a displeased face.
Aunt Li Shiyi frowned when she saw it, "Your family is the best in this Yancun village. Some families are really ugly!"
Zhao Liya smiled, and said sweetly: "Our family is the luckiest, 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 the obviously relaxed expressions of his parents, and then stepped forward to take their things with a smile on his face, "I'll come, I'll come, are you tired? Go wash your hands, wipe your face and drink a cup of herbal tea." Huo, all the food is left for you, are you hungry? Go and eat quickly."
Zhao Liya's heart warmed up, and she 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. We can't finish eating them and spread out the mushrooms to dry later." Dry. I also brought a lot of bamboo shoots back.”
"That's good, that's good"
Zhao Xiang and Mrs. Deng became happy after hearing what she said.
After washing her hands and coming back, Aunt Li Shiyi took out the fishing rod she picked up and soaked it for the two children.
The two children looked at the bright red and plump fruit, which was really beautiful, and the faint sweet smell rushed into their noses. Both of them became a little greedy, but they didn't ask for it immediately, and they all looked at Deng Shi eagerly.
The grown-ups had a panoramic view of their expressions and couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Li Shiyi boasted happily: "Oh, it's so painful! You don't have to be polite to give it to you, take it and eat it, it's sweet."
Mrs. Deng also hurriedly said with a smile: "Accept it, thank you, Eleventh Aunt. Eleventh Sister-in-law, thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Aunt Li Shiyi waved her hand with a smile, Zhao Liya asked her to eat, and she went.
Mrs. Deng was going to serve them hot meals, but Zhao Liya didn't let her do it herself.
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin happily ate the soaked fishing rod, the fresh and sweet taste filled their mouths, the two of them smiled with satisfaction and went to feed Zhao Xiang and Deng again. "It's really sweet, father and mother, you should try it too!"
Zhao Xiang and Deng laughed and tasted it, and praised them and the wild fruit. The whole family laughed and had a good time.
Zhao Liya and the others hurriedly poured out the fir tree fungus and red fungus after eating, planning to pick out the intact and fat ones and spread them out to dry with a dustpan, and eat them if they didn't grow well.
Anyway, if it doesn’t look good, it doesn’t affect the taste, but of course you have to pick the right ones for drying.
The bamboo shoots are not peeled for the time being, and put together with the shells in the storage room next to the kitchen.
Just stack it in the corner.
The corner of the wall is grounded, the temperature is low, and the bamboo shoots with shells will not be damaged after three or four days.
While everyone was sorting out the fungus, Hu Ling took a fishing net and three bamboo cages for catching fish and planned to go to the river to try his luck.
With luck, I can add more dishes tonight.
The attraction of fishing to children can be imagined.
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin's eyes lit up immediately.
"Father, mother, I want to go too!"
"I want, too!"
Ms. Deng was taken aback, "No, no! The depth of the river is too dangerous. You are too young to go near the river."
The two children "Mother" were very disappointed.
Zhao Liya thought for a while, stood up and said with a smile: "Mother, I will go too, I will watch Xiang'er and Lin'er, don't worry!"
"Oh! 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 care of them. Besides, they are not young anymore, they are sensible and know what they can and cannot do."
Ms. Deng moved her lips and smiled helplessly: "All right, then be careful!"
The two children cheered, Qi Qi agreed, and couldn't wait to drag the elder brother and the elder sister to urge them to leave, and they were extremely anxious.
Seeing them go, Zhao Xiangfang said softly: "Don't control them too tightly, they should get used to everything here."
Deng nodded and smiled softly: "I see, master."
