There is a mountain in her arms

Grandma Jiang showed off her cooking skills at noon and prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain them.

Spicy rabbit head is a must-have, and everyone in the Jiang family loves to eat it.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried rabbit meat, steamed pork with rice flour, steamed spare ribs with rice flour, and stir-fried meat with sauerkraut and green vegetables.

"Auntie, this is too sumptuous and expensive!"

Song Niao looked at the table full of delicious food and felt a little embarrassed.

"These are nothing special, except for the pork and ribs, which are all caught in the mountains and are cheap. Try my cooking, I wonder if you like it?"

Grandma Jiang didn't care at all and greeted her warmly.

Grandpa Jiang sat in the first seat and started eating with his chopsticks. Wang Quan couldn't wait to pick up a rabbit head and start eating it.

He knew Grandma Jiang’s cooking skills, and it was much more delicious than what his grandmother at home made.

Song Niao was very satisfied with the meal. As she had to rush home, she told Wang Quan that she would pick him up in a few days, and then left with the pastries made by Grandma Jiang.

An An helped Wang Quan put his luggage in his room, and then took him to the village. Wang Quan was very curious about the small mountain village, like a curious baby.

The next day, he pestered Jiang Yichen to go up the mountain. Grandpa Jiang had just finished finishing the table in An An's room and smiled.

"Okay! Let's go together. I'm going up the mountain to prepare firewood."

"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang!"

Grandpa Jiang took the three of them up the mountain. Along the way, Jiang Yichen kept telling him about the dangers of the mountain, but did not break Wang Quan's enthusiasm.

All right! City kids are just bold!

Since An An had only a little experience, he took Wang Quan for a stroll in the woods and introduced him to the mountain products.

"there's noise!"

"Giggle cluck..."

"Pheasant! Sister, the old rules are, you can't do it, I'll do it!"

An An's eyes lit up and she excluded her sister first.

"understood!"

Jiang Yicheng rolled her eyes. It was really unreasonable! Not only did he not let her take action, but he also forced her to go up the mountain.

"Brother Quan, watch me!"

An An wanted to show off in front of Wang Quan, so he carefully found the trace of the pheasant, picked up two small stones, and aimed at the pheasant.

"Boom!"

"Giggle cluck..."

"Ran?"

An An blushed a little, he actually missed. He quickly continued to aim, "this time" both stones hit the target. One hit the leg and the other hit the head.

"I got it, I got it! An An, I'll pick it up for you."

An An still felt embarrassed, but Wang Quan happily ran over to pick up the pheasant. An An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he met his sister's half-smile, he subconsciously turned away.

"Brother Quan, I'll teach you how to use a slingshot!"

"Good! Good!"

Jiang Yicheng threw the pheasant into the backpack and ran after the two men. After all, Wang Quan was older, stronger, and a boy, so he found the target in a short while.

The two men crouched down and saw a gray rabbit. One of them aimed at a leg and crouched behind a tree.

"three!"

"Snapped"

"Clap"

Wang Quan missed and hit the rabbit twice more, both of which hit the rabbit. The rabbit was frightened and trembled twice in the air, then limped away when it fell.

"Chase!"

Wang Quan hurriedly chased after it, accidentally tripped, and then pounced on the rabbit and pinned it under him.

"bump!"

"Brother Quan, are you okay?"

"Huh? It's okay! I've got the rabbit pinned down. Come and have a look."

An An wanted to help him up, but he was still thinking about the rabbit. An An pulled the rabbit out from under his arm, and the rabbit pretended to be dead at first, then jumped around as soon as it was thrown into the backpack.

"Brother Quan, it's still alive after you pressed it like that."

"An An, come and see what tripped me. It's hard."

Wang Quan rubbed his knees, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sister, what is this?"

An An used his feet to push the snow away and kicked out half of something growing in the soil. The surface had many stems, dark brown, and where An An stepped on it, snow-white juice was exposed.

Jiang Yichen's eyes lit up. He used a wooden stick to scoop out a piece of snow, then dug a distance along the mark left by An An's kick.

"Yam? This is wild yam. An An, go to grandpa and get a sickle to dig it."

"it is good!"

When An An heard that it was a good thing, he ran away like a gust of wind.

"Sister Cheng, this is yam, why is it a little different from what I eat?"

"This is wild, of course it's different, you found it by accident. Then ask my grandma to make yam ribs, yam cakes, and yam cakes."

"Just listening to this makes me drool. Sister Cheng, you know so much. Have you eaten all of these?"

"No, I read it in a book. Who told you not to read more books?"

"I will, definitely, in the future."

"Chengcheng, are there really yams?"

Grandpa Jiang rushed over, but didn't see An An.

"Yeah! Grandpa, where's An An?"

"I didn't bring a sickle today, only a hatchet. I asked him to go back and get a shovel and a backpack. I'll try using the hatchet first, and try not to damage the roots."

Grandpa Jiang used the hatchet to dig gently along the yam. When he dug halfway, he saw the trace of another yam. He did not stop and continued to dig forward. When he reached the top, he saw two more yam.

"So long? It looks like about one meter!"

It was the first time that An An saw such long wild yam and was a little surprised.

"Hmm! This one is broken, otherwise it shouldn't be broken."

Grandpa Jiang gently took it out of the pit, put it aside, and continued digging.

"Sister Cheng, let's dig too!"

"We dig it up easily, and the broken ones don't last long and are prone to deterioration."

"Wang Quan, don't do it. There's mucus in it. It will itch if it gets stuck."

Grandpa Jiang didn't even raise his head, and didn't want him to do it. Soon he dug out two roots. At this time, Grandma Jiang was pulled over by An An, and she was still a little out of breath.

"So long? Looks like there's a big nest here."

"Well, it's just right that you're here. Let's dig together. Children, help us put the yams we dug into bags. Be careful not to break them."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yicheng helped push away the snow in front and cleaned up the surroundings. An An and Wang Quan helped pack the bags.

Soon, there were several bags piled up around them. Seeing that the bags they brought were almost full, Grandpa Jiang deliberately discussed with Grandma Jiang.

"My dear, go back and cook first! An'an, you and Wang Quan take your prey home first, then go to my great grandfather's house and ask them to come here to dig yams. Oh, do it quietly and ask them to bring tools."

Grandma Jiang was confused at first. It was not time for dinner yet! Grandpa Jiang winked at her and pointed at Jiang Yicheng.

"Well, it's time to go back and prepare. An An, sister will stay here with grandpa, you two come down the mountain with me."

Grandma Jiang pinched An An's little hand, and he immediately understood.

"Brother Quan, this pheasant is hard to pluck. Let's help grandma later."

"Should we carry some yams back? How can we get so many down the mountain?"

"Then let's put a few broken ones in a backpack! Let's go call our great grandfather and uncle to help get them down the mountain. Let's go and call them."

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"

Wang Quan was tricked into going down the mountain, and when they could no longer be seen, Jiang Yichen waved his hand and entered the space.

"Grandpa, take a break! Leave these for Great Grandpa and the others. Do you want me to load the firewood as well?"

"Forget it, I'd better go and continue chopping wood! You can lead them over later and we'll go straight down the mountain."

"it is good!"

Grandpa Jiang had just cut a few branches when Grandpa Jiang and his wife brought Jiang Zitao up the mountain.

"Zitao is here too?"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Second brother, the eldest brother is still repairing the road, and his wife is preparing a big meal for the whole family. Zitao was worried about us going up the mountain, so he followed us."

"Ask Cheng Cheng to take you there. It was Wang Quan who found it. Cheng Cheng, you stay by the side and watch. Come back when it's time to eat."

"Hey!"

Jiang Yichen led the other three over there, and Grandma Jiang directly dug open the nest.

"Ha! You really are not old or young! Cheng Cheng, does your family still want it?"

"Grandma, my family has enough. We don't eat it every day, so we don't need much. These are all yours."

"Good! Good! We are benefiting from your help again. Hurry up and start digging. Zitao, take your time and don't get your hands dirty."

"Ok!"

After they finished digging, Jiang Yicheng helped them pack it up. After a while, Zhou Lanhua also caught up.

"Why are you here too? Is the meal ready?"

"Mom, let's just have a simple lunch. I made some pancakes and fried some vegetables. I put some rice in the pot. Just ask Qingqing to watch the fire. I think with more people, we can work faster, and you can get down the mountain earlier."

"Hey! Lanhua, you are really getting better and better at living. Mother is waiting to enjoy the good life!"

"Mom, you and Dad just wait!"

"Haha! Cheng Cheng heard it, she can testify for you!"

"Yes, grandma, I heard it, I will be your witness!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The four of them dug together and cleared the place in an hour.

The ground was filled with four bags, and there were still a few broken ones left. Jiang Weiguo also came up at this time, and without saying a word, he carried a bag down the mountain.

"Dad, our ox cart is just down the mountain. I'll carry a bag down first, you guys wait for a while."

Grandma Jiang packed up the broken ones and looked at the three bags of yams.

"My dear, let's carry one bag each and walk slowly! The old man is also very tired from repairing the road. He must be tired from running back and forth several times!"

"Okay! Zitao, you and your mother carry one bag."

"Wait, let me try first."

Jiang Zitao is 1.7 meters tall, and he can walk very fast just after getting rid of the bag.

"Good! Finally I didn't have to eat dry food. Lanhua, just carry that half bag. Chengcheng also needs to go home for dinner. Don't delay her."

"Okay, mother!"

When Jiang Weiguo rushed back, he saw that his son was also able to carry a bag. He felt so relieved. When he heard that his parents were carrying a bag, he immediately went to take it.

After Jiang Yichen followed them down the mountain, he hurried home to eat.

When they got home, An An and Wang Quan were both standing by the stove. It turned out that Grandma Jiang had buried a beggar's chicken in the stove with them and asked them to watch the fire.

At noon they had pork ribs and yam, beggar's chicken, and Jiang Yichen drank several bowls of soup.

Wang Quan wanted to go out and play in the afternoon, but Jiang Yichen stopped him.

"Wang Quan, how did you do on the exam this time?"

"Sister Orange, didn't I tell you?"

Wang Quan was a little confused, he seemed to have said it!

"Brother Quan, you told me this at night."

An An no longer wants to see Brother Quan because Jiang Zixiao said at noon that calling him that sounded effeminate.

"Ah? Really? I forgot. Sister Cheng, I did pretty well in the exam this time. I ranked tenth! I'm thirty places higher than when I entered the class. How's that? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Wang Quan was a little proud. This was his best result so far, and his mother rewarded him with a hundred yuan for it.

"It's not bad! Next year, keep up the good work and try to get into the top five!"

"Sister Cheng, the goal you set for me is too high. I don't know how much effort I put in to get to the tenth place. I don't even dare to think about getting into the top five."

"You'll be a rich second-generation in the future, so this won't be a piece of cake. What if you inherit your mother's business and compete with the domestic industry? I wonder how many times more effort you'll have to put in than now?"

"Sister Cheng, you really think highly of me!"

"I'm afraid you'll bring shame upon your mother. In a word, do you dare?"

"Sister Cheng, please don't provoke me. I really don't think that far."

"Wang Quan, do you know what Wang Quanfugui means?"

"After I heard what you said that time, I looked it up. But I couldn't find out what it meant anywhere."

"It means holding supreme power and enjoying a rich and comfortable life. The first time I heard your name, I thought of this word. Later, I met your mother and occasionally heard you talk about family matters. I think your starting point is very suitable to become such a person. Why don't you want to?"

Wang Quan's mouth opened into an O shape.

"Sister Cheng, you have such high expectations of me! Just because of what you said, I will definitely give it a try."

"That's right. Come on, do this comprehensive exercise book. Come on!"

"Sister Orange! This is a bit beyond the scope!"

"It's okay! I've also prepared a book for you. This is one I've read before."

Wang Quan looked at An An with some resentment, and An An immediately took out his winter vacation homework.

"Brother Quan, I plan to finish my winter vacation homework in the next two days. Otherwise, we won't be able to have fun in peace. Let's work hard together!"

"traitor!"

"That's what we call a wise man who knows the times! Just a friendly reminder, my sister doesn't seek personal gain. Work hard, young man!"

The yard became completely quiet. Jiang Yichen was reading, while An An and Wang Quan were doing their homework.

Grandma Jiang was processing the broken yams in the kitchen while Grandpa Jiang continued to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

In the next few days, An An took Wang Quan fishing, picked wild duck eggs with him wearing rain boots, dug winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and even caught birds in the open space halfway up the mountain.

But I have to do half a day of homework at home in the afternoon, but I have Grandma Jiang’s delicious food to feed me.

Sometimes it is pastries, sometimes it is fried sweet potato balls and dried fish, sometimes it is roasted chicken legs, and sometimes it is fried fragrant pine nuts and sweet chestnuts.

When Song Niao drove to pick him up, he was reluctant to leave.

"Mom, it's still early for the New Year, why did you come to pick me up so soon? I want to play for a few more days."

Song Niao was speechless. Looking at his obvious double chin, it seemed that the food had been very good during this period.

"Oh! If your grandma hadn't urged me every day, I wouldn't want to bother you, young master! There's still a week until the New Year, and your father will be back."

"Why did he come back so early? In previous years, wouldn't he be busy until the 27th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month?"

Wang Quan was a little dissatisfied. He didn't come home when he wanted him to before, and now he comes back so early when he doesn't want him to come back now.

"How can you talk like that? That's your dad! He heard from your class teacher that you performed very well this year and your grades improved a lot, so he specially cut back on his work to come back and accompany you."

"Tsk! You act like you're such a big shot. Ouch! Fine, I'll just go back and accompany him with reluctance!"

Wang Quan was about to show off when Jiang Yicheng knocked him on the head and he immediately changed his tone. Song Niao looked very satisfied, finally someone could deal with him.

"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, thank you for your hospitality these days. I'm going home first. Don't be too tired during the New Year. See you next year!"

Wang Quan was so respectful and polite to the old couple that Song Niao felt jealous.

"Hey! Be good at home and come to my house for dinner tomorrow. Grandma Jiang will make you something delicious."

"Hey!"

When Wang Quan heard this, he responded loudly. When he left, Grandma Jiang specially packed a few of his favorite foods and told him to eat them quickly, otherwise they would taste bad.
