Chapter 23: Finding Bird Eggs

"Okay, let's eat first! We can eat this later. We have already eaten two steamed buns!" Wang Guifang took the puff pastry from their hands and distributed the steamed buns and pancakes to the three of them.

"Two steamed buns and a pancake per person. If you don't have enough, come to me for more."

Liu Xiaoxiao didn't like eating this kind of pancake at first. The multi-grain pancake baked at home would become very hard when it got cold. But since everyone was eating it, it seemed bad for her not to eat it. Besides, she was really hungry. In the end, she ate three steamed buns, half a pancake, and the other half was the steamed bun she exchanged with Daya.

After a short rest after dinner, the aunt-in-law called everyone to get up again to continue picking tea leaves. Liu Xiaoxiao was in good spirits after resting for such a long time, and was enthusiastic about picking the buds, but she was soon led astray by Liu Wenxuan.

Because her third brother asked her to go rob a bird's nest, she knew it! She had grown up in the city with her parents and had never robbed a bird's nest before. She had to go to such a lively event! She said hello to Wang Guifang and ran off to play.

When their aunt sent Daya to find them and told them it was time to go back, they had already reaped a lot of rewards. They had dug out four bird nests and obtained 12 bird eggs, plus four large sparrows that Liu Wenxuan shot down with a slingshot.

"We can have more meals when we get back." Liu Wenxuan followed her because she thought her second sister was lucky, and now she has gained so much.

In the past, if he and his friends in the village had searched for a whole day, they might not have found so many bird eggs.

"Wow! Auntie, you guys are so amazing! We just went out to play for a while, and you picked so much!" She looked at the medium-sized backpack she brought and it was almost full.

"What do you mean by a while? You've been gone for an hour and a half." San Ya said angrily, thinking that they went out to play without her, so she had to pick tea leaves with her aunt.

"Has it been that long?" Liu Xiaoxiao looked at her third brother in confusion. Her third brother nodded silently and whispered that it was about the same.

At this time, my aunt came out and said, "Have you had enough fun? Take your things and go back."

The way back always feels faster than the way in. Liu Xiaoxiao felt like she hadn't walked long before she got home.

As soon as I entered the house, my aunt went to dry the picked tea leaves.

"Isn't this tea going to be fried?" Liu Xiaoxiao remembered that all the tea picked had to be fried!

"Let's fry it tomorrow. Let the moisture in the tea leaves dry out today. It's been very hot since it's been in the basket all the time and it will go bad." I saw my aunt take the tea leaves out of the basket and spread them evenly into several winnowing baskets.

Liu Xiaoxiao also stepped forward to help. She felt that the tea leaves inside were really hot, and she was afraid that if it took a little longer, the tea leaves would be ripe.

Liu Wenxuan, as usual, ran to show off his work to his grandparents as soon as possible.

Seeing that they had picked more tea leaves than in previous years, Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, you've worked hard this time. I'll make you fried bird eggs tonight."

"I've contributed too, okay? Grandma, you can't be partial. Help me cook the sparrows too."

"Your thing is very difficult to handle. Clean it up yourself and give it to me."

"Okay." Liu Wenxuan happily ran to deal with his bird.

"Grandma, are you going to fry the tea leaves tomorrow? Can you call me along? I want to learn too." Liu Xiaoxiao probably knew a little about it. She heard that it had to be fried in a pan.

"Of course! I'm just afraid you won't be able to get up by then," Grandma Liu said teasingly while looking at Liu Xiaoxiao.
