Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Without saying a word, Sun Wan led everyone to the back mountain.

When we arrived at the red pine forest, even though everyone was mentally prepared, we were still shocked by the scene before us.

very beautiful!

The fiery red pine trees against the golden soil look like a beautiful painting.

Unfortunately, none of them were educated, so they couldn't speak those flowery words and could only exclaim in amazement.

Zhu Xiuqin had seen this before and was relatively calm.

She sat down and began to pick up the pine cones that were shaped like little towers on the ground.

Seeing this, everyone bent down and picked it up.

The men found that the tree was full of pine cones, so they tightened their belts and climbed up the tree.

The children were not willing to give up and rushed to join in the tree climbing.

For a moment, the originally quiet pine forest became extremely lively.

The squirrels in the tree hole were frightened by the scene and started chirping, which attracted Sun Wan's attention.

She squinted her eyes and moved closer to the pine tree trunk, only to see a dark hole inside...

Sun Wan mustered up her courage and kicked the loose and swaying old pine tree away.

Hey!

In an instant, pine cones and pine cones poured out like waterfalls!

The two squirrels screamed, whooshed into the nearby grass and disappeared without a trace.

The sudden appearance of the little squirrel made Sun Wan's heart tighten, but then the pine cones and pine cones all over the ground quickly diverted her attention.

Seeing this, other people came forward curiously to check the tree hole, fearing that there were hibernating snakes and insects hiding inside. They carefully used branches to explore the way first, and only after driving away the squirrels did they dare to reach in and explore.

Coincidentally, two hibernating snakes were discovered.

But before the snake could react, Zhang Daniu grabbed it and dealt with it neatly.

He grinned, threw the snake into the basket behind him, and announced, "Snake soup is served tonight!"

The adults were fine with it, but the children were so scared that they got goosebumps all over their bodies, shook their heads, and refused to taste the snake meat no matter what.

Especially Xiao Fuzi, whose little face was wrinkled and he touched his arm while avoiding Zhang Daniu.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Daniu laughed out loud and deliberately waved the snake to tease Xiao Fuzi.

Xiao Fuzi's terrified scream suddenly resounded throughout the mountains and forests.

Everyone laughed again.

On the other side, Su Guiying climbed up the pine tree in no time with a small basket hanging around her waist.

She shook the trunk hard, and pine cones fell like raindrops.

Fortunately, pine cones are light, so even if they hit someone, the damage wouldn't be too serious.

Everyone was busy picking up the fallen pine cones under the tree, and no one noticed Su Guiying on the tree.

Unexpectedly, Su Guiying slipped, her body suddenly leaned back, and then she fell along with the broken branch.

"what!"

Su Guiying screamed in surprise.

Chi Dong, who was standing under the tree, subconsciously looked up and saw a black shadow coming towards his head.

Chi Dong: “…”

He stepped back suddenly and instinctively stretched out his hands to catch it, but as a result, he stepped back right below where Su Guiying fell.

Most of Su Guiying's body fell heavily on Chi Dong!

"Ouch!"

The two half-grown children fell down together and cried out in pain.

The adults were all shocked. Chi Niang's face turned pale and she staggered over to help her son up.

Although Su Guiying and Chi Dong fell all over the place, fortunately they were not seriously injured, just a little dizzy.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves hugging each other tightly. Their faces turned red and they jumped away like frightened rabbits.

Chi Niang hugged her son nervously, and Sun Wan also hurried over, helped her daughter up and examined her carefully.

The two mothers finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that both children were fine.

Sun Wan looked up at the place where her daughter fell and found that it was a broken branch of the old pine tree.

Fortunately, Su Guiying did not climb very high, and no more serious consequences were caused.

Sun Wan patted Su Guiying's shoulder again: "Girl, why are you so wild!"

"No more tree climbing today, and never again!"

Su Guiying was still frightened and did not dare to talk back when her mother scolded her. She just nodded obediently.

Seeing that her son was safe and sound, Chi Niang felt much more at ease.

Seeing Aunt Sun blaming the little girl, she quickly went over to ease the atmosphere: "Children, being lively and energetic is their true nature."

After this incident, all the children were forbidden by the adults in the family to climb trees and could only pick up fallen pine cones around the roots of the trees.

Everyone dug until the evening. As the sky gradually darkened, the pine cones could no longer be seen in the woods. They said goodbye to the pine forest with reluctance.

Thanks to the lightness of pine cones, each person didn't feel the weight even when carrying two or three baskets.

When they got home, everyone put the pine cones in the cleaned house and opened the windows and doors to let some air in, for fear that the pine nuts would be spoiled.

Ye Lao San led Lin Xiangxiang into the house, his eyes full of anticipation: "Little sister, look, these are all pine nuts, remember?"

Lin Xiangxiang seemed not to understand. She looked up at her brother in confusion, then lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers boredly.

Seeing his little sister like this, Ye Laosan couldn't help but feel anxious.

The four brothers and sisters of the Ye family joined Darong Village halfway through their journey. They worked very hard so that they could integrate with the group as soon as possible.

Seeing that his younger sister had such an opportunity to lead everyone to make a lot of money, but she looked dazed and didn't understand anything, Ye Laosan was very anxious.

He grabbed a handful of pine nuts and placed them in Lin Xiangxiang's hands, his tone concealing a hint of anxiety: "Little sister, can you take a closer look and tidy up these treasures?"

Lin Xiangxiang stared at the pine nuts in her palm, frowned, and suddenly got angry.

He snorted, raised his hand, scattered all the pine nuts on the ground, turned around and rushed out.

When Ye Laosan saw her wasting things like this, he became furious.

He suddenly grabbed Lin Xiangxiang's shoulders, and his voice unconsciously increased: "Little sister, you have to be obedient!"

However, this harsh attitude inadvertently touched the fear memory deep in Lin Xiangxiang's heart.

Lin Xiangxiang suddenly covered her ears and screamed. The shrill and terrified voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone outside.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er rushed in in a panic, only to see Lin Xiangxiang curled up in the corner, holding her head with her hands, trembling all over, while Ye Lao San, who was standing beside her, looked at a loss.

Third Brother Ye seemed flustered. Seeing the crowd rushing in, his heart tightened. His hands and feet hung in the air at a loss, muttering, "I really didn't mean it..."

"I just want my little sister to finish these tasks smoothly, I..."

At this point, Third Brother Ye's throat seemed to be blocked and he could no longer utter a word.

He sighed deeply, held his head in regret, sat down in the corner, and was as silent as a stone.

Big Brother Ye walked over and lightly kicked Third Brother Ye, his eyes full of reproach. He then picked up Lin Xiangxiang and apologized to everyone:

"I'm really sorry, my little sister's condition... I'm afraid it's disappointing to everyone."

Hearing this, everyone hurried to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay, we understand Miss Ye."

"I originally wanted to give it a try today. If it doesn't work, forget it. If we can make this thing, it's a treasure. We can just sell it as is!"

It's just a small profit.
