Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 49 Going up the mountain
"Okay, then I'll give you some of my pickled duck eggs to try." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
"Hey, I heard that your grandson caught a snake and wanted to give it to your granddaughter to play with?"
Mrs. Lin remembered this and asked hurriedly.
"Oh my! This scared our whole family! How can children these days be so bold that they even dare to catch snakes?"
Old Mrs. Liu still felt a lingering fear when she thought of this incident. Oh my God, who would have known that the three-year-old Guoan was so brave that he even dared to catch a snake.
Thinking of the slippery snake, Mrs. Lin glanced at Guoan who was watching ants moving on the ground. How could he be so brave when he looked so well-behaved?
"Then you have to keep an eye on him. But the snakes are hibernating now, so I don't think any will come out."
Guoan, who was watching the ants moving, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, with a look of disapproval on his face. He had already made a nest. Wherever there were black snakes and white snakes, they had already found their home.
Chongchong is so cute and chubby, why are grandma and the others so scared?
Guoan couldn't figure it out with his little head.
Seven days later, Yuan Lao Da and Yuan Lao San finally replaced all the rotten wooden boards on the roof, and are now helping the villagers go up the mountain to select wood to replace the rafters.
Yuan Laoer and his sister-in-law Ye Wan plowed the entire acre of land, applied fertilizer, and planted cabbage and radishes.
Yuan Laosi also settled down in the academy in the town, preparing for next year's examination.
The three boys have had two days off now and have some free time, so Old Lady Liu took them up the mountain to chop firewood in preparation for the winter.
When Yaoyao heard them going up the mountain, she babbled and called out that she wanted to follow them.
Old Lady Liu knew her precious granddaughter's temperament. She said that if she wanted to go, she must go with her. So she asked Yuan Lao San to weave a big basket, scraped off the burrs inside, sewed a layer of soft gauze inside, and also sewn a mosquito-proof cloth on top. Yaoyao could lie in it safely without being bitten by mosquitoes.
Except for the third daughter-in-law who was hiding from work, everyone in the family went up the mountain to prepare for winter.
The mountains of Lihua Village are rich in resources, with many wild fruits and vegetables, as well as many wild animals. However, these wild animals are very alert. When they hear human voices from afar, they will run away so far away that you can't even see their shadow.
Old Man Yuan and Old Second Yuan were chopping firewood, while Old Lady Liu took her two daughters-in-law and a few boys to look for wild vegetables, and then try their luck to see if they could catch any wild animals.
Shen Chulan put Yaoyao on the ground and asked Guoan to look after her.
Guoan leaned into the big basket and looked at his sister who was struggling with her feet. Her mouth was covered with saliva. Guoan took out a square bib from his arms and wiped the saliva off his sister.
"Hehe, sister is eating her toes." Guoan clapped his hands.
Yaoyao rolled her eyes. She didn't want to eat the feet either. It was a child's instinct and there was nothing she could do about it.
Shen Chulan saw a small piece of earth rising high on the ground. She squatted down and pulled away the pine leaves and saw mushrooms.
I continued to remove the pine leaves and saw that they were densely packed with mushrooms. I had disturbed the mushroom nest!
"Mom, look what I found?" Shen Chulan shouted.
"What!" Old Lady Liu came forward with a sack in her hand. "Oh my! We've disturbed the mushroom den! There are so many mushrooms! If dried, they weigh over three kilograms. They're enough to last us the entire winter."
On the other side, Guoping made a new discovery, "Grandma, I found a lot of potatoes!"
Old Mrs. Liu rushed over without stopping, and when she saw a whole patch of potatoes in the soil, she slapped her thigh.
"Oh my, there are so many potatoes. Ye Wan, quickly take some boys and dig them up. May our ancestors and God bless you."
Yaoyao sucked her toes and smiled sweetly. This was just the beginning. She still had a lot of things to take out.
Guoan, who had been paying attention to his sister, saw that his sister smiled. He caught a bug with many legs from somewhere and handed it to Yaoyao. His round eyes were full of innocence and childishness.
"Sister, this bug has so many legs and they're so special. I'll give it to you to play with."
Yaoyao frowned and slapped the centipede away from Guoan's hand. This naughty kid dared to catch anything for her to play with. Is she so bored?
"Sister, don't you like this bug?" Guoan curled his lips and started digging around in the dirt again.
Xiao Hei, who was standing by, looked ashamed as he saw Guoan catch another earthworm. He quickly held down his hand and slapped him a few times.
Why is this child so worrying?
It’s fine to catch snakes and centipedes, but why would you catch such a disgusting thing and put it in front of its owner?
Old Lady Liu and Shen Chulan here pulled out three large sacks of mushrooms, both with smiles on their faces. Ye Wan and a few boys had also dug out a whole piece of potatoes, which weighed more than 400 kilograms.
The smile on Old Lady Liu's face never ceased. What did this mean? It meant she had an extra guarantee for the winter. Potatoes were large and filling, and they could be fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, or boiled, and they tasted great.
Now there are not enough sacks, so I have to go home and get some.
"Guoping, go home and get some sacks. Remember to bring the cart from home so no one can see us."
Guoping understood what was going on and went down the mountain to get a sack.
When he got home, the third son's wife was not at home. Guoping took out a dozen large sacks from the utility room, pushed the cart out of the backyard, went out through the back door and went up the mountain to avoid people.
There were nearly twenty bags of potatoes. Old Man Yuan and Old Man Yuan ignored the firewood they had chopped and hurriedly pushed the potatoes down the mountain and back to the yard.
When the sun rose, Old Lady Liu and her two daughters-in-law continued to stay on the mountain.
"Huh huh huh~"
Yaoyao was hungry and waved at Shen Chulan.
When Shen Chulan heard Yaoyao's cry, she quickly put down the work in her hands and walked over.
This well-behaved look made Shen Chulan feel particularly guilty. They had been in the mountains for so long and had never heard Yaoyao cry. She quickly unbuttoned her clothes and fed Yaoyao some food.
Yaoyao, who was full, babbled and pointed in a direction with her chubby little hand. Shen Chulan looked in the direction Yaoyao pointed and saw that the tree trunks in the bushes were densely covered with black things.
She walked over with Yaoyao in her arms, squatted down, and parted the bushes before she could see clearly what the black thing was.
It turned out to be wood ear.
Like mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms can be stored for a long time after being dried. They are crispy and delicious and are especially delicious when eaten cold or stewed.
Shen Chulan hugged Yaoyao and kissed her hard a few times, "Are these all gifts from Yaoyao?"
That’s right, where can we get mushrooms and fungus at this time?
Shen Chulan was increasingly shocked by Yaoyao's abilities. She had never expected her daughter to be so capable. However, when she thought about the wild animals vying for a seat on the Yuan family's table...
"Ahhhhh~"
Yaoyao pointed in another direction. Shen Chulan hurried over and followed the direction Yaoyao pointed all the way until she stopped at the location of three trees.
Shen Chulan lowered her head and searched the three trees for a while, but didn't find anything.
Yaoyao pointed towards the sky.
Shen Chulan looked up and her pupils shrank.
