Chapter 38 Where are the mushrooms growing where sweetie goes?
Xiaojiu stared at the lump in Su Xiaotian's hand for a long time, then smiled and said, "Isn't it just a lump?"
Although Su Xiaotian didn't see what it was, she felt that it was definitely not a lump.
However, she cared about mushrooms and did not put too much thought on the hard lumps. She just put the hard lumps at the bottom of the small basket and continued to pick mushrooms with her butt stuck out.
The two little ones were happily picking mushrooms in the forest near their brothers.
Soon, the small basket was full.
She looked around and saw Su Ciliang not far away.
"Second brother, second brother, what should I do if my basket is full?"
Su Xiaotian's soft and waxy voice reached Su Ciliang's ears.
Su Ciliang looked back and saw that no, the mushrooms in Xiaotian's basket were already sprouting.
When did so many mushrooms grow on the mountain?
When he was mowing the grass, why didn't he see any mushrooms?
Things like mushrooms are rare among people in the village. Generally, it’s good to pick a few to make soup. How can you pick up so many?
"Tiantian, you are so lucky. How did you find so many so quickly?"
"Second brother, I discovered that wherever Tiantian goes, mushrooms grow!" Xiao Jiu said a little depressed.
Among the baskets of mushrooms, he found less than five in total, and Xiao Tiantian found the others.
Su Ciliang laughed loudly: "Xiaojiu, what you said is so funny. Can you still step on mushrooms with Tiantian's feet?"
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself, second brother, everything I said is true." Xiao Jiu pouted and said.
"I believe, I believe!" Although he didn't love Xiao Jiu as much as he did Xiao Tiantian, he was still a biological brother, so Su Ciliang didn't hit him.
"That's pretty much it!"
"You two continue to pick mushrooms. If you find anything, pile it up together. After we finish cutting the pigweed, put it on the basket and take it back together." Su Ciliang thought for a while and arranged for the two little ones to continue picking mushrooms (playing)
I am busy cutting pigweed!
However, when he quickly cut a basket full of pigweed, he was surprised to find that the two little ones had gotten a bunch of mushrooms.
He looked at the pile of mushrooms in surprise and blinked desperately, doubting that he had seen it wrong.
However, even if he blinked many times in succession, the mushrooms were still piled on the ground.
"Brother, what's wrong with your eyes?" Xiaojiu couldn't help but ask as she watched her own brother blinking his eyes desperately.
"Xiaojiu, these, these are the mushrooms you picked? Did you two fall into the pile of mushrooms?"
"I've already told you that wherever Tiantian goes, mushrooms grow, and every time there is a big clump..." Xiao Jiu became even more depressed.
Although the two of them were walking together, he just couldn't see it. Tiantian always saw the mushroom bushes, which made him wonder what was wrong with his eyes!
"Second brother, do you think Brother Ninth and I are so good!" Su Xiaotian deliberately looked like she was begging for praise: "I am the luckiest kid!"
Su Ciliang digested it for a long time before nodding mechanically: "Xiao Tiantian is the luckiest child!"
Unlucky to get so many mushrooms?
Just these mushrooms, dried, are enough for my whole family to eat several meals.
When he takes it home, grandma will be shocked, right?
Wait, how do you bring back so many mushrooms?
Su Ciliang was a quick thinker, and he quickly shouted from a distance: "Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, you two, come here quickly, I have something for you to do."
The two brothers quickly ran over following Su Ciliang's voice. When they saw a bunch of mushrooms, their jaws almost dropped in surprise.
They also often go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, but they have never seen so many picked at one time.
Who is so capable?
Why haven't you noticed it before?
"Where are your baskets? Bring them over, each of you can fill half a basket of mushrooms, cover them with grass and carry them home first," Su Ciliang arranged.
The two brothers watched with bewildered expressions as Su Ciliang poured the grass out of their basket, put the mushrooms in, and then lightly covered them with a layer of grass. They still didn't realize what was going on.
"Second brother, am I dazzled?" Su Wurang couldn't help but ask.
But he was hit hard by Su Ciliang.
"You're stupid, you put them all in the basket, how can you be dazzled? We Xiaotian are very capable, we found so many." Su Ciliang grinned almost to his ears.
Mushrooms are a good thing, but they are very rare. I am lucky today.
Seeing Xiao Si and Xiao Wu happily going down the mountain carrying mushrooms on their backs, Su Ciliang touched the little knot on Su Xiaotian's head and said, "Xiao Tian is really capable!"
At this time, Su Xiaotian said again: "Second brother, there is a small piece of ladle in the ravine ahead."
Piao'er is a kind of wild strawberry, and people here are used to calling it Piao'er!
Sour and sweet, it is a rare delicacy for children.
However, there are few people on the mountain. Even if the boys of the Su family often run around in the mountain, they are rarely seen.
"Lao'er? Real or fake?" Su Ciliang asked with sparkling eyes.
He has run on this mountain countless times, so why didn't he know there was a Lao'er nearby?
Besides, even if there is one, it has been taken away long ago. How can one still wait for them to come?
Su Xiaotian said solemnly: "Of course it's true. I saw it earlier. After you finish cutting the pigweed, let's go pick it!"
"Okay, it's still early. Second brother will mow the grass for a while. You and Xiaojiu can play together and don't go too far." Su Ciliang warned and started mowing again.
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were sent down the mountain by him. Their tasks had not been completed yet, so he had to help them do it.
When Xiao Si and Xiao Wu came back, Su Xiaotian found some more mushrooms. Fortunately, there were not many, so they just hid them in a basket and took them with them.
But what surprised them was that they actually picked a small pile of scoops.
"Second brother, where did you find it?" Xiaosi asked.
"Not far ahead. We will pick all the mature ones and wait for the rest to grow in two days. Come back then." Su Ciliang said with a big smile.
"Fourth brother, brother, you guys have a try, it's so sweet!" Su Xiaotian held the ladle in her tender white hands and brought it to the two brothers.
In this era, material is scarce and there is almost no fruit. Wild fruits are the greatest happiness for children.
The two boys took the red gourd from their sister's hand, looked left and right, almost salivated, but still couldn't bear to eat it.
"Eat the little sweet, brother won't eat it!" In the end, Su Wurang decided not to eat it and left it to his sister.
"I've already eaten. You and fourth brother can taste it first, and take the rest home to eat with grandma and eldest daddy." Su Xiaotian smiled with a crooked smile, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
.
Su Wurang felt that this was the sweetest wild fruit he had ever eaten in his life. So many years later, when he recalled the taste of wild strawberries that year, he still remembered it freshly.
