Quick wear greedy little koi

The two of them didn't know how many times they went back and forth. When Lin Xi came back, he saw the yard full of mushrooms and wild vegetables, but in much smaller quantities.

Lin Xi: Are these two planning to pick all the mushrooms on the mountain?

How many times do you have to go up and down the mountain to get so many mushrooms? How tiring is that?

Qiu Qiang and Xin Jin were walking back easily with the bamboo baskets on their backs. The baskets were too small, so they could still carry them, but unfortunately they couldn't put them down.

Seeing their mother, the two of them ran over.

"Mom, you're back? Are you tired?"

Lin Xi was helping to process the mushrooms that they had not dried, picking out the poisonous mushrooms that were inedible.

Xinjin put down the bamboo basket and poured water for her mother, "Mom, drink."

Lin Xi drank it in one gulp. "Thank you, Nannan. The water Nannan poured is sweet and comfortable to drink."

"Sister, I want to drink too." He also went out to work, so why did he pour water for his mother and not for him?

Lin Xi slapped her directly, "If you want to drink, go pour it yourself. Don't you realize that your sister is already very tired?"

Qiu Qiang ( ??? ? ??? )

I feel so wronged, but I don’t say it.

Lin Xi cleaned up the mushrooms on the ground, then took over the two people's bamboo baskets, poured out the mushrooms in the baskets, and checked which ones were inedible.

Qiu Qiang's bamboo basket was filled with mushrooms. The more mushrooms there were, the more at ease she felt.

I also took Xinjin's small bamboo basket and poured out everything inside. Suddenly I saw...

He frowned slightly, a little uncertain, and put it aside to dry and wait for Brother Zhuang to come back.

Seeing the two people resting, Lin Xi said, "Second brother, are you tired?"

"Mom, I'm not tired, what's the matter?"

"If you are not tired, just go up the mountain and pick some mushrooms. Mom will stew chicken with mushrooms to reward you in the evening."

If she didn't need to cook, she would have gone up the mountain. Ever since she had this dream, she hoped that there would be a lot of food at home, the more the better, and the more at ease she would feel.

"Mom, I'll go now." When Qiu Qiang heard that they were going to stew chicken with mushrooms in the evening, he immediately became energetic.

"Second brother, I'll go with you." There are delicious foods, why is there no share for her?

"Nannan, you are tired, rest at home." Lin Xi looked at Nannan, whose hair was wet and she looked tired.

"Mom, I'm not tired. I'm strong enough now. I asked my second brother to take my eldest brother's bamboo basket, but he refused to give it to me."

Xinjin started to tell tales, saying that she no longer liked her small bamboo basket and wanted a big one.

"Are you really not tired?" Lin Xi still didn't quite believe it.

Xinjin shook his head.

Qiu Qiang was also very surprised, "Mom, I don't feel tired today. I feel energetic and strong. My bamboo basket is too small."

Lin Xi: “???”

She said cautiously, "Why don't you take your father's bamboo basket up there?"

Qiu Qiang slapped his forehead, wondering why he didn’t think of it and went straight to get his father’s bamboo basket.

Xin Jin looked at Qiu Qiang's honest slap and felt pain just from hearing it.

Xinjin also directly took her eldest brother's bamboo basket. Her second brother's bamboo basket was bigger than her eldest brother's and was taller than her, so she couldn't carry it.

But the eldest brother’s bamboo basket was also very big, and it looked almost as tall as Xinjin.

Looking at Lin Xi, she laughed, "Nannan, this bamboo basket is too big and heavy."

"Mom, it's okay. If it's too heavy, I'll let my second brother take it."

Lin Xi thought about it and agreed, as the second child has always been strong.

Qiu Qiang: Is there no one who cares about my life or death?

"Okay, then you two should be careful and don't go into the mountains."

The two nodded and left.

Qiu Qiang held the bamboo baskets. He thought that since he was very strong now, he could just take two down to avoid going back and forth. He could pick up half a basket while climbing the mountain.

Lin Xi is quite energetic now. While cooking, he takes out the charcoal fire and grills the jerky. This can be kept for a long time and can be eaten directly.

But this is not enough firewood, and we need to collect more dry firewood.

That is, food can be preserved, but how to solve the water problem? There is no water in a drought. Without water, many things...

Wait for Brother Zhuang to come back and talk to him to see if there is any good solution.

When Lin Xi had almost finished packing her things, Qiu Zhuang came back, but Qiu Qiang and Nannan had not returned yet.

"Brother Zhuang, Lao Er and Nan Nan are picking mushrooms in the mountains. Do you want to go and see them?"

"It's okay, Xiaoqiang is very smart. As long as we don't go into the deep mountains, we'll be fine."

As for Qiu Qiang, Qiu Zhuang admired his great strength, which was almost as strong as that of an adult.

Lin Xi also nodded. That was right. His son had been very strong since he was young. He thought of something and took out something from the mushroom.

"Brother Zhuang, look at this..." She was a little uncertain.

Qiu Zhuang took it casually, glanced at it and went back to work on the things in his hands, "It's just mushrooms..."

His brain suddenly came back to his senses, and he turned around and looked at it carefully. He swallowed and pretended to be calm, "Xiao Xi, where did you get this?"

This is Lingzhi! Such a precious thing, it is as big as a palm. The last time I saw such a big one was decades ago, when someone in the village went up the mountain to pick it and was showing it off.

During that period, people could be seen on the mountain at any time except at night, and the animals were so scared that they dared not come out.

"This was picked by Nannan. She thought it was a mushroom and put it together. I only found it when I was cleaning it up."

Seeing Qiu Zhuang's expression, he knew her guess was right, "Brother Zhuang, sell this and get through this difficult time first. When the time comes, when our daughter gets married, we'll prepare more dowry for her."

As long as the person is still there, everything else is easy to deal with. If the person is gone, nothing is useful.

Qiu Zhuang nodded and packed up his things. He didn't know how to use this thing, but he would go and ask tomorrow morning.

While being excited, she couldn't help but retort, "Nannan is still young, why would she get married? She can just find a live-in son-in-law when the time comes."

He would stay at home every day to see who could bully his daughter and he would beat him to death.

Lin Xi rolled his eyes and said, let’s talk about it later. There are still more than ten years.

Just ignore Qiu Zhuang.

After putting the Ganoderma lucidum away, Qiu Zhuang started to make bamboo baskets for catching fish. He got up quickly today and had already made two. But there is no such thing as too much food, so he made a few more and put them aside so that he could catch more fish later.

When Qiu Qiang and Xin Jin came back from mushroom picking, they saw his father making a bamboo basket in the yard.

Qiu Qiang put down the two bamboo baskets and ran to his father.

"Dad, the bamboo basket you gave me is too small. I want a bigger one." Now this one can no longer satisfy him and he hates it.

Xin Jin also said, "Dad, I want a bigger one, this one is too small."

She is stronger now and the old small bamboo basket can no longer satisfy her.

Qiu Zhuang looked at the two people strangely. The two before were fine, why did they suddenly want to change? He looked at the bamboo basket that Qiu Qiang put down. It was his own and it was very big.
