Farming and reading family

Chen Hanyue is now very skilled in making medicine. After breakfast, she squats in front of the cave and makes medicine using a small clay stove. Although her mother and elder sister are injured, she feels that there is hope for such days.

After dinner, Chen Ke took a few children out to pick acorns. The children in the village have been doing this since they were young, but Gao’s family had been strict in the past, so the children had never gone up the mountain to pick anything.

Gao E wondered why the third brother and his wife hadn't come up yet. She didn't know if it was her illusion. Why did she feel that the air was a little humid when it was supposed to be a clear and crisp autumn day?

If it rains in autumn, it is very sticky and can last for several days at a time.

And the weather turns cold quickly after it rains.

So I also stocked up a lot of firewood.

That's still a lot to do.

They had to pick acorns every day, and in the afternoon the three brothers would go buy food. In the evening the third brother and his wife would go fishing and picking shrimps.

Not to mention that someone has to watch over the traps on the mountain, the wild boars in the traps have to be sent to Peng Can, and the caught fish also have to be processed.

Farmers have few idle months...

Gao E felt that farmers just chatted and basked in the sun, and their hands were always busy.

"Sister, why did you come out?" Chen Hanyue hurriedly stood up and supported her sister.

Chen Yuning smiled and looked at her second aunt: "Second aunt, my mother said we can peel acorns."

"You guys should just take a rest, especially your mother. The doctor told you not to overwork and to take good care of yourself." Gao E thought about the temperament of her eldest brother's family and was afraid of owing others.

"I've been resting for so long, it's okay to do something." Chen Yuning said stubbornly, "Besides, I have the tools to peel acorns, so it won't be tiring."

Seeing Chen Yuning was so stubborn, Gao E said, "Then... I'll peel as much as you want."

"Okay." Chen Yuning agreed happily.

Gao E gave Chen Yuning a small basket and asked her to peel it slowly. She knew that her second aunt did it on purpose.

It was almost noon when Chen Jie and Lei came up with their two children.

As soon as Lei entered the house, he sat down on the big stone beside the millstone and complained about his experience of returning home in the morning.

"What on earth is mother-in-law busy doing all day, inside and outside the house?" Mrs. Lei was very confused. "When we're not at home, she doesn't have to cook so much."

Gao E has not yet realized that her mother-in-law is only good at putting on a show. She looks very busy, but actually does nothing.

It seems that in the past, my eldest brother's family relied on me in obscurity at home.

"Then why don't you just ask her directly?" Gao E joked.

"I wouldn't dare." Lei admitted defeat. "Who knows if she said something wrong, she would burst into tears and talk about how hard she worked for the Chen family."

Gao E thought this was possible.

"Where is your father?" Lei turned around and didn't see Chen Jie, so she turned to ask Yan'er.

Chen Yan'er pointed to the third cave. Her father entered the cave as soon as he arrived at his second uncle's house.

"I'm going to take a nap too." Lei said and left.

Gao E knew that the couple were really sleepy, so she didn't call them for lunch.

As a result, before they finished their lunch, they heard a commotion outside, and Gao E instantly had a bad feeling.

"Gao E, come out here." Feng shouted at the top of her lungs outside.

Gao E and Chen Ke looked at each other.

"I'll go out and take a look." Chen Ke said as he put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"I'll go, I'll go." Chen Hanyue went even faster.

Gao E felt that Chen Hanyue was eager to see the world in chaos, so she had no choice but to stand up and say, "You all should eat well."

The children had no choice but to lower their heads and eat.

Chen Qing also stood up and followed.

"Gao E, you dare to harm me, why don't you dare come out?" Feng yelled outside.

Chen Hanyue ran ahead and opened the door. She saw several people from the Hu family standing outside. Feng was standing with her hands on her hips, looking very weak, but her face was flushed with anger.

"How did I hurt you?" Gao E was confused.

"Did you tell me that bamboo shoots are edible?" Feng pointed at Gao E's face. "Look at what happened to my family? My husband, my son, each of them has stomachaches and can't stand up, and they have diarrhea. Tell me, are you responsible for my actions?"

The Chen family members standing at the door looked at each other.

They also ate bamboo shoots, and they were really delicious. No one was hurt.

"How come my family members are fine after eating it?" Chen Hanyue asked, hands on her hips.

Gao E pulled Chen Hanyue back a little, not because she was afraid that she was too tough to get married, but because the adults were all here and there was no need for a little girl to step forward.

"Who knows if what you eat is bamboo shoots?" Feng retorted directly, "You can go to my house and see for yourself. My family had problems because we ate bamboo shoots."

All the people who came were members of the Hu family, but few of them directly stood on Feng's side. They just followed because their family members had a quarrel with others.

After all, they had seen the Feng family's duplicity, and they also knew that the Chen family had been very kind these two times.

"How did you eat it?" Gao E thought of a possibility.

"How else can we eat bamboo shoots? They can be eaten after they are cooked." Feng looked at Gao E with resentment. "You are really trying to harm me."

Gao E waited until Feng Shi fell silent before she slowly spoke, "You asked me what was in our stewed rice, and I said it was bamboo shoots. Is that a problem?"

"Then what you eat at home is not bamboo shoots at all. You lied to me." Feng didn't believe it.

The thing has a crispy and tender texture, but the taste is very ordinary, with a hint of green and astringent taste, but it is edible.

But who would have thought that after eating it, I would have a stomachache and diarrhea.

"What we eat at home is indeed bamboo shoots." Chen Ke was very sure.

"She is your wife, of course you help her to cheat people." Feng was angry.

Gao E knew why the Hu family had diarrhea.

The food they usually eat is not very oily. If they eat a lot of boiled bamboo shoots directly, the high oxalic acid and high fiber will indeed cause abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea.

This is also the reason why there are so many bamboo shoots in the village, but not many people eat them.

For them, even the basic carbohydrates and fats are not enough, let alone those wild delicacies.

"Since you said so, you are here to cause trouble, not to reason." Gao E looked at Feng's tantrum.

"Who is causing trouble? It's your family that harmed my family. If anything goes wrong, I will make you pay with your lives." Feng's face was ferocious.

"Han Yue, go and fry some bamboo shoots and let everyone who comes here try them. If anything goes wrong, I will take my own life." Gao E stared at Feng.

Feng is here to cause trouble, so there is no point in reasoning with her.

She also has no obligation to teach others to be smart.

"No, you have to cook it. That's how we cook it at home." Feng objected.

"You cook it at home, why should I cook it at home? I didn't tell you that bamboo shoots are to be cooked." Gao E laughed. "Our dispute is about bamboo shoots, not how to cook them. If you want to die, others must die with you?"

"You..." Feng's eyes widened.

Gao E sneered: "Since everyone is here, let's try it together, so that I won't be blamed for it later."
