Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Su He slowly stood up, dressed neatly, and then opened the door. She saw Old Lady Su sitting in the yard, facing her sideways. She was holding a stick in her hand and stirring something in a basin.

Su Chi squatted beside her, saying a few words from time to time. He seemed to be worried about disturbing Su He, so he deliberately lowered his voice.

Old Lady Su was the first to see Su He. A smile immediately appeared on her lips, and she spoke calmly:

"Ah He, wake up. How do you feel today? If you don't feel good, don't force yourself. Go back to bed and lie down."

Although Su He looked much better yesterday, Old Lady Su couldn't help but feel a little worried. She just wanted Su He not to force himself, after all, his health was more important.

"I'm fine. I got up and moved around a bit, and I feel stronger."

"What are you doing?"

There were only three of them in the yard. The rest of the family must have gone to work in the fields. The Su family didn't have many fields now, and with so many people working, it would take almost two or three days to finish the work.

"I'm helping grandma mix chicken dishes."

Su Chi stood up and ran to Su He, looked up and whispered to her.

There is only one hen left in the Su family now. It lays an egg every day. Su Chi loves her very much and will bring back any insects and chicken food he sees outside.

This is the only valuable thing in the house now, so we must take good care of it.

Moreover, the eggs can be exchanged for some household items, and can also provide Su He with an occasional snack to replenish his body.

Since everyone else in the Su family was busy, Su Chi tried to find ways to feed the hen better food every day so that it could lay an egg every day.

Even though these eggs are not worth much, they are very important to the Su family.

Every time the family made steamed eggs for Su He, Su He would secretly give a few bites to Su Chi, so Su Chi liked Su He the most.

"There are sweet potatoes cooked by grandma in the pot. Are you hungry? I'll get you one."

The Su family only eats two meals a day. The sweet potatoes cooked in the pot should be lunch to be delivered to the people working in the fields later.

Su He touched Su Chi's little head and shook his head. They had agreed last night that they would go out for a walk today. Su He had been thinking about this matter all the time and wanted to wash up quickly and go out early.

Seeing Su He shaking his head to refuse, Old Lady Su also spoke:

"Achi, go get a sweet potato from the pot for your sister. Aren't you going out later? How can you not eat?"

Su He is in poor health, and the Su family's concern for her is deeply rooted in their bones, fearing that she would feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

When Su Chi heard what Old Lady Su said, he started to run to the kitchen. Su He was a little amused and hurriedly held Su Chi back.

"I'm not hungry now, just take it with us to eat on the way out later."

Su He thought about taking the sweet potatoes and some water with her. She planned to go to the foot of the mountain to see if there was anything edible. The sweet potatoes would be her lunch.

It also saved her time running back and forth. If there was anything edible near the village, it would probably have been picked up by the villagers. She walked further towards the mountain to see the situation.

"Then don't walk too far. Come back when you get tired."

Old Mrs. Su said worriedly, "I'll go to the fields to deliver food later. There will be food in the pot. You can eat it directly when you are hungry."

Su He nodded, took the basin and went to the kitchen.

Although the weather is not cold now, it is still a little chilly in the morning and evening. Old Mrs. Su always boils some hot water in the pot for Su He.

After mixing the chicken and vegetables, Old Lady Su carried the basin and walked to the backyard. Su Chi followed her happily. He would check on the hens in this family every day before he felt at ease.

When he saw the hen lay eggs, he picked them up carefully and put them in a special basket for eggs.

When the two men came back after feeding the chickens, Su He had already washed up and found a backpack under the eaves.

He put the sweet potatoes and the kettle filled with water into the backpack, went into the house to get a small hoe, waved to Su Chi, and said to Old Lady Su:

"Grandma, my little brother and I are going out first."

When Su Chi saw Su He, who was already dressed, calling him to go out, he happily jumped towards her.

Seeing Su He carrying a backpack, he followed Su He and carried a basket under the eaves.

"Hey, be careful."

Old Mrs. Su chased them to the gate of the courtyard and shouted instructions to the two of them.

After the two men walked away, he closed the gate, picked up the basket, filled it with the cooked lunch, and prepared to deliver it to the Su family who were working in the fields.

Su He walked in front, and Su Chi showed her the way from behind, explaining:

"Look, sister. The place in front of you where I picked wild flowers for you yesterday. There is a small river further on. I caught the fish in that river last night."

Thinking of the delicious fish soup last night, Su Chi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was the most delicious fish soup he had ever eaten. He would go catch some fish later. His sister said that she would cook fish for him in the evening.

Looking up and seeing Su He looking into the distance, Su Chi continued:

"Walk along the stream, pass the forest in front, and you will almost reach the foot of the mountain. But Grandpa said there might be wild animals on the other side of the mountain. We can only watch from outside, but we can't go into the deep mountains."

After hearing Su Chi's words, Su He was a little confused. Why couldn't they go into the mountains? As the saying goes: live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the water, eat from the water.

Yunli Village is located in a remote area. Looking at the mountains in the distance, it should be rich in resources. Even if there are no treasures, there will always be some delicious food. Why can't we go in?

"I heard from my grandfather that there are man-eating monsters in the mountains. They are very scary."

After hearing what Su Chi said, Su He was very upset.

monster?

This sounds like a lie for children, but Su Chi is only seven years old this year. I guess they might be afraid that he might be disobedient and go into the mountains and get in danger, so they made up a story to trick him.

However, Su He was relatively unfamiliar with the environment here. She knew that even if she was only thinking about filling her stomach, she couldn't run into the mountains. However, she could still stroll around the outskirts of the mountain.

The spring sun is shining brightly at this time, and the temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot. The breeze that blows slowly on your face carries the fragrance of soil, and the sound of gurgling water in the distance is in your ears.

Su He narrowed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the comfort of the moment.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the small river where Su Chi mentioned to catch fish. The water was clear and they could see the bottom of the river at a glance. It was indeed not deep. No wonder the Su family felt at ease to let her come with Su Chi today.

But Su He planned to take a look at the other side of the mountain today. Just now, as she walked along the way, she found a lot of wild vegetables in the fields, all of which she recognized.

But she planned to go to the other side of the mountain first and pick some wild vegetables when she came back.

Su Chi didn't think too much about it. All he could see at the moment was the fish soup. He immediately rolled up his trousers and wanted to go down to the river.

Su He quickly grabbed him.

"Let's go ahead and take a look, and then catch some fish when we come back."
