Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Su Mu and Su Bai regretted so much that they only brought a backpack. Looking at the many mushrooms in front of them, they felt like they saw meat but couldn't eat it. They were itching all over. It was too uncomfortable.

"Sister, my backpack is full too. If I put more in it, it will break."

Su Chi muttered to himself. At this moment, he really wished that he had carried the same big backpack as his elder brother and the others when he went into the mountains today. His small backpack was too small.

There are still so many mushrooms on the mountain that have not been picked yet.

Su He glanced at Su Chi, then looked at the three of them's backpacks, and sure enough, they were already full.

She picked the last large chicken mushroom at her feet, patted the dead leaves on it, and put it carefully into the backpack.

I saw that my backpack was already full and there was no more space.

"Okay, let's go back today. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we'll come back."

As Su He spoke, she lifted Su Chi's small backpack and asked him to carry it.

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

Suddenly, a flapping sound was heard in the bushes not far away, and it was particularly loud in the quiet mountain forest.

Several people looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

I picked up pheasant eggs in this mountain last time. From the sound...it seems there must be pheasants in the bushes.

"Shh..."

Su He raised a finger to his lips and gestured to several people.

Everyone was very excited. They put down the baskets on their backs and moved towards the place where the sound was made.

Su He looked forward and picked up a stick as thick as his wrist. The pheasant's pecks were very painful.

But I picked up so many chicken mushrooms today. If I can catch this pheasant, it will be a perfect match. I will make chicken mushroom and pheasant soup tonight and let everyone taste it.

Su He couldn't help swallowing when he thought of this. He was determined to get this pheasant.

The few of them walked closer and closer to the bushes and accidentally stepped on dry branches that made noises.

With a "flutter" sound, a big bird flew up from the dense bushes. It had a pointed beak and colorful feathers. The most special thing about it was the long and thin tail behind it, which looked like arrow feathers. At first glance, it didn't look as docile as a domestic chicken, but rather fierce.

"It's going to run away, quick!"

Su He threw the stick in her hand in the direction it flew, but unfortunately she missed. Just when she felt regretful and thought that the pheasant she had caught was about to fly away.

A mixed gun flashed by and hit the pheasant that was about to disappear in front of it quickly and accurately.

The pheasant fell to the ground with a "whoosh".

Several people looked in the direction where the stick flew from, and saw that Su Mu was still in the same posture as when he threw the stick. They saw that several people were looking at them in amazement.

He scratched his head sheepishly, his face slightly reddened, and he smiled sheepishly, "I was just... afraid it would run away, so I threw the stick away in a moment of anxiety."

"Hahaha......"

Several people looked at the pheasant that fell to the ground and burst into laughter.

"Brother, you are so awesome!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't miss it."

"We've got pheasant to eat tonight!"

Su Chi cheered even more.

Su He pulled a vine from the side, tied up the pheasant, and held it in his hand.

"Let's go. If we don't get down the mountain now, it will be too late to get home."

A few people started to go down the mountain along the same path they came from.

The mountain road was wet and slippery after the rain, and the grass and trees on both sides were so dense that there was almost no road.

This time, Su Mu was walking in front again, and Su Bai was at the end.

Su He was in the middle, and as they walked, he kept reminding Su Chi to be careful, because if he missed a step, it would be a disaster.

Su Chi responded to Su He's words as he walked. He was carrying the mushrooms that his sister said were delicious, so he would be very careful.

A few people went down the mountain and picked some wild vegetables by the river and covered their backpacks with them.

When they got home, Old Man Su and his friends were not there. Old Lady Su and Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were peeling bamboo shoots in the yard.

They were not needed for farm work at the moment, so when they had some free time, they went to the hillside behind to pick bamboo shoots, thinking that the more they could pick, the better, as they could be preserved by drying them.

Knowing that this thing is edible and tastes good, it is definitely a reserve food. It’s okay to stockpile more. After a few days, the bamboo shoots will become old and inedible.

"You guys are back. Wow, you picked up so many mushrooms."

Seeing them coming back, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo immediately stood up and helped them put down the backpacks behind them.

"Yes, mother, look what else we brought?"

Su Chi took Xie's hand mysteriously and pushed aside one of the backpacks covered with wild vegetables.

A pheasant suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Xie's eyes widened, and she pointed at the pheasant and shouted, "This is a pheasant! You caught a pheasant!"

"Mom, look, these kids caught a pheasant!"

Mrs. Xie turned around and shouted to Old Mrs. Su in surprise.

"Oh, it really is a pheasant, and it's quite fat!"

Mrs. Luo looked at the pheasant with a look of joy on her face.

Old Mrs. Su walked forward to take a look and was also very happy, her eyes narrowed into a line.

Although Su He would buy some pig intestines every time he went to town, he bought less pork. After all, the Su family had just made some money by selling dried fruits.

But it was still far from enough compared to the foreign debts, so we just bought some cheap big bones and pig offal.

The rest was to buy fat meat to make lard, and save the money earned to pay off debts in the future.

There are many people in the family, so enough for everyone to eat is enough to satisfy their cravings.

"Tonight I'll make you some chicken mushroom and pheasant soup. I guarantee you'll enjoy it so much that you'll swallow your tongue."

Su He's words made everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, then we'll all be waiting."

Su He is a good cook, even wild vegetables taste good when cooked by her.

She said it was delicious, so it must be good.

"Then I'll take care of this pheasant later."

Su Mu, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but speak.

Now that his father and grandfather are not at home, he will definitely be the one to take care of the work. When he was the same age as A Chi, he followed the adults and helped with the work. These were easy tasks for him.

Su He nodded slightly and planned to clean the mushrooms first.

They found a few large basins, filled them with water, pulled over the backpack and poured out all the mushrooms, then they began to wash them.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo quickened their movements and hurriedly processed the bamboo shoots they had just picked.

Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Su got up and went into the kitchen, lit a fire and boiled a pot of water to use for blanching the bamboo shoots later.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other, and for a while everyone in the yard was talking and laughing.
