After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Liu Miao and Tao Ya had just woken up, and their brains were still a little slow.

Hearing this, his eyes widened instantly.

"Has the wind died down and the rain subsided?"

"Did Rongrong go up the mountain to pick chestnuts on this day?"

After the two of them finished talking, they didn't even bother to put on their clothes and ran to the door.

Su Qiaoqiao said with a smile on her face:

“Well, the wind has died down, and the rain has lightened up a little.

My eldest sister dresses warmly when she goes out.

With down jackets, masks, raincoats and deerskin boots, you won’t catch a cold.

Before we left, my eldest sister said that if we were lucky enough to kill a pheasant, we would have chestnut roast chicken tonight!"

Su Qiaoqiao had never eaten chestnut roast chicken, so after the chestnuts were brought back, the eldest sister didn't let them eat them.

Not only could she eat it today, but it was also roasted with pheasant. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

My eldest sister has great cooking skills and everything she makes is delicious.

I wonder what the chestnut roast chicken tastes like, but it should be comparable to the braised pork, right?

Thinking of this, Su Qiaoqiao hurried out again.

She did not forget the task her elder sister gave her in the morning.

She had to learn how to grow bean sprouts, and she had to work with her third sister to dig some frozen soil and pile it next to the kang.

My eldest sister said, let’s try and grow some vegetables.

If we can grow them, we won’t have to eat radishes, cabbages and dried vegetables all the time.

Tao Ya and Liu Miao ignored Su Qiaoqiao. When they saw that the north wind had stopped and the rain seemed to have subsided a little, they couldn't help but want to go home and take a look.

They had no time to eat at this moment. After looking at each other, they put on their straw raincoats and hats tacitly.

Before leaving, he said to Su Qiaoqiao and Su Manman who were digging behind the eaves:

"Qiaoqiao Manman, let's go home first and come back in the evening!"

Su Manman was digging the soil with great effort using the hoe that her eldest sister had just bought and had not yet had time to use.

Hearing this, he looked up at them, then nodded and continued to work.

Su Qiaoqiao, who was standing next to her, was digging with great effort with a shovel that was taller than her.

Unfortunately, the ground was frozen too hard and she was too weak to dig.

In other words, she didn't even dig through the surface of the ice.

But she was not discouraged, because her third sister told her that if she could dig up some soil and grow vegetables in the winter, she could sell them for a lot of money.

When the time comes to calculate her wages, it will definitely be much more than what she earns from making hair ornaments and brooches.

With this motivation, Su Qiaoqiao was still full of energy even though her hands were burning and painful.

As for Su Jinhong, who wanted to help but was not well yet, he was reading a book in his own kang room.

Because Su Manman told him in the morning that she hoped he could pass the county exam next year and then go to the provincial capital to take the exam.

They wanted to follow and see what Jinhui's current situation was.

Su Jinhong, who was placed with high hopes, also missed his youngest brother, so he could only sit there and memorize the book that Baili Zheng gave him word for word.

When I get tired, I stay away from books and think about how my mother died.

Time passed quickly as the siblings were busy.

Su Rongrong and Dahu also came to the mountain known for its many ferocious beasts.

She stood at the foot of the mountain, barely able to lift her feet.

The deerskin boots that Baili Zheng gave her were extremely waterproof, but the rain continued to fall that day.

If you stand in one place for a long time, the water on your moccasins and the rain on the ground will condense together.

Along the way, she almost couldn't walk several times, and had to rely on Dahu to pull her with a wooden stick.

At this time, Da Hu saw that the ice under her feet had begun to solidify, so he pulled the wooden stick in his hand and took two steps towards her.

"Miss Rongrong, let's go. It's not suitable for us to stand in one place for a long time in this weather."

Su Rongrong looked up at the mountain again. The originally lush flowers, plants and trees were now covered with icicles hanging upside down.

If she were traveling and saw this scene, she would definitely stop to appreciate it and take some photos to record this rare beauty.

It's a pity that she lives here, and the inconvenience brought by the icicles makes her have no time to appreciate it.

After hearing what Da Hu said, she took a deep breath, then stomped her feet on the spot, waiting until the ice on her shoes was less, before continuing to move forward.

Along the way, she led the way and Dahu pulled her towards the chestnut tree.

When she arrived under the chestnut tree, she looked at the chestnut balls that had fallen to the ground and were covered in ice, and felt it was a pity.

Then I looked at the remaining ones on the tree and was glad that I came here today.

Otherwise, she estimated that when the ice melted, the fruits on the trees would be eaten by the small animals that came out to look for food.

As an attendant of the Duke's son, Dahu is very capable.

Without waiting for Su Rongrong to speak, he had already climbed up the tree swiftly.

"Miss Rongrong, I'll pick the icicles and chestnut balls and throw them on the ground. You just pick them up and put them in the backpack."

"Okay, throw it away, and I'll pick it up together later!"

Su Rongrong replied while standing under the tree, then looked around.

She wanted to see if she could bring back a pheasant.

Although there is no shortage of meat at home now, since she has come out, she naturally hopes to get as much as possible.

Pheasants don't need to hibernate and come out to look for food every day.

But she also knew that the best time was in the early morning when it was almost light, and it was a little late now.

But she still held on to a lucky mentality, thinking, what if?

What if she happened to come across a pheasant foraging, or a pheasant's nest?

Pheasants are easiest to catch on freezing rainy days like this.

Its fur is frozen and wet, so it can't fly, and even if it runs, it probably won't be able to run fast.

The big tiger on the tree has sharp eyes. From his high vantage point, he can see the surrounding environment clearly at a glance.

He was seen throwing frozen chestnut balls on the ground and saying:

"Miss Rongrong, go about a hundred meters to the southeast. There should be a pheasant nest under the frozen weeds. Look for it."

Su Rongrong, who was originally looking around, did not suspect anything and walked directly in the direction he said.

When she got there, the first thing she saw was pheasant feathers under a cluster of icicles.

It went smoothly and she caught two pheasants.

No, I should say I picked up two pheasants.

The two pheasants were not in good condition, their feathers were wet and frozen.

He looked listless and felt as if he was about to freeze to death.

By the way, there are also a few frozen pheasant eggs.

When she returned carrying the two pheasants, there were already quite a few chestnut balls covered with icicles scattered on the ground.

This time, Da Hu didn't say where there were other pheasants. After picking fruits from one tree, he quickly switched to another one.

Su Rongrong picked up all the things on the ground and put them into her backpack.

After picking up all the chickens, he threw the pheasants there, closed the bamboo cover, and continued to wander around.

This time, she went a little further, but unfortunately gained nothing.

Estimating the time, she continued walking back, still looking left and right.

As a result, because he was not paying attention when walking, he tripped over some vines and fell forward.
