The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang and Song Jinsheng came to the shady side of the hillside and picked a handful of wood ear mushrooms from a dead tree trunk. These were all good things. They took them back to dry and stored them to eat slowly.

In addition to wood ear mushrooms and silkworms, we also collected several medicinal herbs along the way.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Song Jinsheng didn't dare let Song Yuntang stay in the mountains any longer, and urged her to go home quickly, otherwise it would be dangerous if she encountered wild beasts.

Song Yuntang came down the mountain with a feeling of not having achieved enough. Smoke was already rising from the kitchens of every household. Farmers who had been working since sunrise had returned home one after another. Children in patched clothes were playing at their doorsteps, and occasionally one could hear the crowing of a rooster or the barking of a dog.

Looking at the scene around him, Song Yuntang curled his lips slightly.

Many young people who lived in cities in their previous lives yearn for this kind of rural life with a sense of home because of the great pressure of life.

At first, she didn't quite understand.

Now I seem to understand a little.

Ignoring the issue of food and clothing, this lifestyle, which is physically tiring but mentally relaxed, is indeed fascinating.

Walking past several houses at the foot of the mountain, Song Jinsheng greeted everyone he met enthusiastically, while Song Yuntang looked straight ahead and ignored the strange looks others gave him.

After returning home, Song Jinsheng spread the fungus directly on the long table outside the kitchen, while Song Yuntang took out one third of the silkworms, washed them again, and put them on a plate and brought them to the kitchen.

"This is a silkworm. It can be fried, cooked, or stewed."

Since Lin Zhaozhao left, this was the first sentence Song Yuntang took the initiative to say to her, and Zhao Qiao'e felt a little relieved in her heart.

"Okay, put it on the stove. I'll cut some meat and fry it in some oil later."

Song Yuntang nodded, and when he saw Zhao Qiao'e go to the beam to get the meat, he went around to the back of the stove.

"I'll help you light the fire."

Zhao Qiao'e, who was taking the meat, glanced at her and almost dropped it on the ground.

"I don't need your help in the kitchen."

Song Yuntang said calmly, "Don't worry, the kitchen won't burn."

Although I have never cooked on the stove, I have learned it through watching it many times.

In her opinion, it was not difficult.

Seeing that Song Yuntang insisted, Zhao Qiao'e did not object and let her burn it. After all, the room would be filled with smoke and she would be smoked out.

Song Jinsheng processed all the herbs in the basket as instructed by Song Yuntang. He turned around and saw her sitting behind the stove with her eyelids twitching.

Not so good.

It looks like the kitchen is in trouble.

He approached Zhao Qiao'e, who was washing dried meat, and asked quietly, "Mom, why did you let your sister cook?"

"Just burn it, what's the big deal?" Zhao Qiao'e said calmly.

Song Jinsheng lowered his voice again, "It's so dry, aren't you afraid she'll set the kitchen on fire?"

Zhao Qiao'e listened, looked cautiously towards the kitchen, and approached Song Jinsheng and said, "Don't worry, she won't get burned."

There is a skill to making a fire. She can make the stove filled with smoke so that the house cannot be lit.

Song Jinsheng showed his big white teeth and gave Zhao Qiao'e a thumbs up.

Song Yuntang was cooking porridge behind the stove. The expected thick smoke did not come out of the kitchen. Song Jinsheng looked towards the kitchen with some surprise.

"Tang'er, you performed well today."

Song Yuntang clapped his hands and stood up from behind the stove.

"Little tricks."

Seeing her sweaty appearance, Zhao Qiao'e hurriedly said, "Tang'er, the kitchen is hot, go outside to get some fresh air. There are only two dishes left, I can do it myself."

"it is good."

Song Yuntang nodded and left the kitchen.

……

In addition to brown rice porridge, dinner also included a bowl of wild vegetable soup and a small dish of stir-fried silkworms with pork slices.

Although there are not many slices of meat, they add a lot of aroma.

As soon as Liu Xiangyun saw the fried silkworms being served on the table, no matter how delicious they tasted, she still leaned back.

"Mom, what kind of bug is this?"

"Tang'er said this is earthworm. I don't know if it will taste good when cooked. You all should try it." Zhao Qiao'e said while looking at everyone.

Song Yuntang was the first to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a silkworm and put it into his mouth, eating it without changing his expression.

Seeing this, Zhuzi and Zhuzhu each picked up one and put it in their mouths.

After chewing twice, the originally bitter melon-like face suddenly became bright.

"It's crispy and tender, and quite delicious." Zhuzi looked at Song Yuntang, "Sister, are these silkworms also dug from the mountains?"

Song Yuntang hummed.

"It has high nutritional value, eat more."

Liu Xiangyun, who was standing by, heard this and also extended her chopsticks towards the silkworm.

……

On the day agreed to pick up the silver needles, Song Yuntang got up early and put the herbs he had collected over the past few days into his backpack.

After finishing her meal, she looked at the people present.

"I'm going into town today. Is there anything I need to bring back from home?"

Zhao Qiao'e thought for a moment and said, "I've embroidered more than a dozen handkerchiefs recently. Tang'er, please help me take them to Chen's Cloth Shop."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay."

"By the way, buy two pairs of soles according to your and your sister-in-law's feet. The shoes you are wearing are from last year. It's time to replace them with a new pair."

Liu Xiangyun on the side waved her hands and said, "Mom, I don't need them. My pair can still be worn. Just make one for my sister."

"If we're going to do it, we'll do it. It's settled." Song Jinbao looked at Song Jinsheng, "Second brother, don't go to the fields today. Accompany your sister to the town."

"it is good."

"No need!" Song Yuntang said, "I can go by myself. Second brother has a lot of things to do, so I won't delay him."

After hesitating for a moment, Song Jinbao nodded.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

"I know."

Zhao Qiao'e put the handkerchief she had embroidered into a bundle and put it into the backpack that Song Yuntang had prepared.

"Tang'er, just take the oxcart. It's safer and won't be so hot."

Song Yuntang said okay and reached out to take the backpack, but Song Jinsheng grabbed it in his hand.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the village entrance."

She didn't refuse. Since her brother was willing to pamper her, she would just accept it. At most, she would just be nicer to him in the future.

The two of them went out, and when they were a little further away, Song Jinsheng looked in the direction of Song Yuntang, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Tang'er, can you please stop thinking about the Lin family all the time?"

Song Yuntang glanced at him.

"I didn't think so."

Song Jinsheng pursed his lips and said, "I know I should trust you, but every time you went to town before, it was for the Lin family. Now I am always worried that you will really be accepted back into the Lin family."

Song Yuntang smiled, "Why? Are you jealous of me having a good life?"

Song Jinsheng was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer her question for a moment. In the end, he could only speak dryly.

"You know that's not what I meant."

Song Yuntang curled his lips and said nothing.

Song Jinsheng was a little anxious. "There's really no good in returning to the Lin family. First of all, you are not related by blood. If you return to the Lin family again, they may not treat you sincerely. Secondly, Zhao Zhao is too powerful. If she plays tricks on you, you will be wronged in the Lin family with your personality."
