Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren
Chapter 149 What a Good Thing
This herb is extremely common in the wild mountains and wilderness, but not everyone can recognize its value. For Bai Xiuqin, it is a rare and good medicinal material, especially in such an environment, it is very important to be able to strengthen the body and prevent diseases.
This is a great treasure. Dig it out quickly and store it in the space for future use.
Although she knew that there would not be many such opportunities, each time she had them she would cherish everything in front of her even more.
He carefully pulled up each Adenophora plant after another, cleaned off the dirt on the surface, and placed them in his own unique storage ring.
After a busy period, she collected more than a hundred Adenophora spp. of varying sizes.
Some are thicker and stronger than fingers, while others are much thinner and weaker, but no matter the size, they are all rare medicines.
Thinking about providing more security for myself and those around me, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.
After resting for a while, Bai Xiuqin felt strange: in such a large forest, she didn't encounter a single wild animal, not even a rabbit or a pheasant.
This was in stark contrast to the bustling scene of the past, making the surroundings seem unusually quiet.
In fact, there are exceptions. Yesterday, Xue’s father and son killed a lot of prey while hunting. Maybe there was something wrong with the direction they chose to explore.
Perhaps it is because the geographical location here is indeed remote, or perhaps the animals have become extremely alert. In any case, it seems that it is no longer easy to catch anything.
In that case, forget it.
After all, you won’t go hungry.
After all, there are many other sources of food besides hunting.
Thinking of this, I felt a lot more relaxed.
He took out a pheasant and a hare from the space, intending to go back and stew potatoes to improve the food for his family.
During this period, the family's food supply mainly relied on gathering and occasional small-scale hunting. Being able to eat fresh meat and vegetables was naturally a big surprise.
Take advantage of the opportunity to supplement your nutrition now, there are so many good things in the mountains.
Except for the elderly who are too old to stay and look after the children, everyone in the village is looking for food in the mountains.
In order to make everyone eat better, everyone is doing their best to make their own contribution.
In just two days, almost every household had harvested a bountiful harvest.
Whether it is vegetables, fruits, or even some rare flowers and plants that are hard to see in normal times, they are all brought home, which not only enriches the daily dining table, but also adds countless fun.
After eating and drinking their fill, both adults and children looked full of energy.
The whole village is filled with laughter and joy. Even when facing unknown challenges, as long as our hearts are connected, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
Goudan and his grandmother would send some wild vegetables from the mountains to Bai Xiuqin's home every day. These vegetables were washed clean in the stream before being sent.
Bai Xiuqin is always touched every time she receives this unexpected surprise, but she also knows that she cannot always rely on others for help.
Bai Xiuqin said that it was not necessary to send it, but although she agreed, she still sent it as usual the next day. There was really nothing she could do about it.
Perhaps in the hearts of simple villagers, sharing is the greatest happiness!
When he got to the mountain, Goudan was as happy as if he had returned to paradise. He went up at least twice a day and brought back anything edible.
Whether it is ripe fruits or green leaves, in his eyes they all become precious resources.
In his world, the plants and trees all over the mountains and fields are divided into only two categories: edible and inedible.
The former means livelihood, while the latter represents exploration.
The interweaving of the two constitutes his most original and profound understanding of the world.
When he came across unfamiliar but nice-looking plants, he would pick a few and bring them back for his grandmother to identify.
If grandma said it was edible, he would pick some more; if she said it was not edible, he would just throw it away.
Through continuous learning and accumulation, Goudan gradually grew into a true "field expert".
The grandfather and grandson cooperated perfectly.
Goudan went up the mountain to dig for treasures, and his grandmother sorted them out at home - those that needed to be dried were put in the sun, and those suitable for pickling were put into ceramic jars for storage, so that they could be eaten during the escape in the future.
It is this relationship of mutual understanding and support that keeps the two hearts closely connected.
Since the last incident, the internal relationship within Ma Dazui's family has changed.
The originally peaceful life was suddenly broken, and the balance of power among family members was readjusted.
Today, Ma Dazui is still the boss of the family, but under the new order, Liu Ya's status has jumped to second place.
This is not only a recognition of women's abilities, but also brings more hope to the family.
When the two brothers learned that it was their sister who used her head to support their mother and prevent her from falling, they felt endless gratitude in their hearts.
They believed that if Liu Ya had not stepped forward at the critical moment, their mother would have met with an accident.
From that day on, the two brothers treated their sister even more lovingly.
During these days, the two brothers tried their best to let Liu Ya stay at home to rest, while they went out to find food to ensure the family's dietary needs.
Su Mingxiang rested in the cave for only one day before deciding that she couldn't stay idle any longer. She picked up the basket from home and joined her brothers to go up the mountain to search for food.
When the village chief heard the story of Goudan bravely saving Su Dongyue by holding her on his head, he was deeply moved and brought some food and freshly picked fruits and vegetables to Goudan's home as a thank you gift.
However, during this visit, Su Dongyue, mother, daughter and two others were not seen coming together.
Goudan's grandmother was very dissatisfied with this and secretly decided to make the mother and daughter pay the price for their indifference at that time.
Whenever the old woman thought of the scene where her young and frail grandson had to use his tiny head to support an adult who was much bigger than his body, her heart was filled with anger; what made her even more angry was that the mother and daughter not only did not show a trace of gratitude, but instead made a big fuss at the scene, increasing the already heavy pressure on the child!
From then on, the villagers began to care for and take care of this hardworking and kind child more and more. Every time they found something good, they would think of leaving some for Goudan to share with him and his family.
When Su Mingxiang woke up again after serious consideration, Bai Xiuqin had an in-depth conversation with him alone about how they were discovered by the bandits that day.
Recalling the situation at that time, Su Mingxiang said that everyone had unanimously chosen this relatively hidden and safe place as a temporary settlement after collective discussion. During this period, when he was about to find his mother to confirm the next direction of action, he suddenly realized that there were many strangers following him.
Under such circumstances, one of the girls named Su Dongyue followed him closely and refused to leave.
