Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Chapter 74 74 Going up the mountain

After coming out of the cotton field, Chen Miao put the two children into the basket, and the mother and son went up the mountain.

Seeing that the sweet potato field was destroyed, she looked around carefully and determined that it was a wild boar.

The soybeans and sorghum on this land were damaged last year, and they were destroyed again this year. It's really disappointing to think about it.

But it's not good to just sit back and wait here. Looking at the soil being dug up, it should only be a matter of a day or two. Don't wait, let's talk about it when it happens.

I didn't expect to find traces. Then follow along and see if you can gain anything.

In fact, animals and people are the same. They are used to eating and running. Of course they will come again after tasting the sweetness.

I didn't hear any movement from the two children for a while. I looked back and saw that they were asleep.

Take in the space and let them sleep well. This way you can speed up.

I followed the traces and found some Japanese melon vines. I guess they were those I planted and lost last year, so I picked them all and put them away.

But the more I think about it, the angrier I get. If you don't eat the Japanese melons, you insist on destroying my food rations. This is undoubtedly stealing food from the tiger's mouth.

Chen Miao's speed became faster. This tone must be unbearable. I found a lot of good things on the road and I was not in the mood to pack them away. I saw yam, which is definitely a good thing. It is best for children to eat in winter.

They are all on the mountain. If you have time to collect, you must find a way to recover your losses, otherwise it will be too much of a loss.

"Huh? There are also chestnut trees?" Chen Miao was even more happy now. She ate chestnuts to supplement iron, which was just right for her child at this age.

This thing won't run away, and it will still have to find the thing that harms its rations.

Chen Miao walked faster and faster, but after walking for a long time, she still didn't notice. She was not herself now, but she didn't have the qualifications to be willful.

When the two children woke up, Chen Miao took them out. He decided to go back and pick up chestnuts, so that the children could come down and play for a while.

The shells of chestnuts were full of thorns, so Chen Miao found two small gloves and put them on them. Of course the two children found it strange, "These are for protecting the hands, they can't be taken off."

The two children saw that their mother was wearing it, but even though they were curious, they did not take it off.

"You guys wait obediently and help mother pick it up later."

There is a straight tree trunk as thick as an arm in the space. It was collected before and is only this long.

But this chestnut tree must be many years old and very tall. When you drop a stick on it, the chestnuts will fall down like a thunderbolt.

The outer shell of the chestnuts that fell on the ground broke open, which saved trouble.

It was getting late, so I just wanted to play with my two children, so I stopped after a few beats.

Seeing his two sons looking at him excitedly, Chen Miao smiled. "Come on."

She was responsible for peeling them, and the two little ones excitedly took the chestnuts from their mother's hands and put them into the basket.

There were a lot of chestnuts on the ground, and it took the mother and son more than an hour to pick them up. It was really late, and it was not safe to go back too late.

The chestnuts were put away and the two children stood in the basket. The mother and her son went down the mountain.

Seeing a large field of wild jujubes, Chen Miao smiled and asked the two of them if they wanted more.

Maybe the two children still remember what happened last time, and they didn’t even want anything.

It was almost dark when we got home. The chickens, ducks and geese were waiting outside, with the old ones taking care of them. This year, the ducklings and chickens were not taught by Chen Miao.

Put them in. Use cornmeal mixed with vegetables, so that the eggs will be laid more quickly.

The little donkey was fed once, and now the mother and son were cooking.

I gave them steamed egg custard, and I made rice porridge and stir-fried vegetables.

I had just fed the two children, but I hadn't eaten yet. I heard a knock on the door outside. It must have been my second brother coming to deliver the donkey cart.

Looking at the little donkey eating very hard, does it mean that the animal is not fed? If the animal is not fed, it is them.

The next day after the chickens, ducks and geese went out, mother and son went up the mountain again. Now it was more attractive to pick up wild goods.

Chen Long came to borrow the donkey cart again. However, the door was locked and he did not come back after waiting for a long time. He searched around the fields and found no one. He left very unhappy.

The mother and son went directly to collect chestnuts this time. They had to collect all the chestnuts before digging yams.

In the morning, they had almost picked it up in half a day, and the two children were no longer willing to do it. After all, they were tired of the repetitive tasks.

The mother and son entered the space and after eating, they went to bed and Chen Miao came out to continue. If the things picked up for free were not put away, they would really feel like they were at a loss. People all have this little idea of ​​taking advantage.

After putting everything away, I walked inside again. It was not late today and I had time. I just happened to take a look inside.

When Chen Miao met three wild boars, they were also stunned for a moment.

It's really a narrow road for enemies. I was looking for it when I met it.

The two children also woke up. Chen Miao comforted them in a low voice and let them play with their toys.

An electric baton also appeared in her hand. This is the safest and most guaranteed item. It only needs to be touched and it can completely solve the problem.

After picking up the three wild boars, Chen Miao smiled and put away the electric batons. It was another harvest. She didn't like eating wild boar, so she thought she would buy meat this year. I just kept this thing, and I will definitely use it in the future.

He released the two children and continued walking inside. The hawthorns were now red, and they looked particularly beautiful from a distance. Chen Miao smiled and looked back at his two sons.

The two younger ones also looked at the beautiful red color, but they didn’t ask for it this time.

"This is Hawthorn. Isn't it beautiful?"

Two small nods.

"They are also very sour, just like the wild dates you ate last time."

The two brothers looked at their mother. Although they couldn't speak, they already knew what their mother meant.

Chen Miao did not want her children to eat hawthorn. In her impression, children who have not yet grown teeth will not grow well if they eat sour food.

But this hawthorn looks really beautiful, and it has not been eaten by birds. Small animals are also afraid of acid.

I stopped under the hawthorn tree and picked the big, red ones.

She handed one to each of her two sons. The two little ones just took it in their hands and did not put it in their mouths this time.

Chen Miao smiled and took off one and took a bite, her face wrinkled together, it was so sour.

The two little ones raised their heads and looked at their mother's expressions, their little faces also wrinkled together.

"It's too sour to eat."

Chen Miao picked some and went back to feed Chen Dou. If it wasn't so chaotic now, I really wanted to sell hawthorns.

Forget it, it won't sell for much. There is a hawthorn tree not far away, and there are really many of it. The flowers of this thing bloom and fall year after year, and the fruits also fall overnight.

After walking inside again for half an hour, I saw a persimmon tree, which has good fruit.

The persimmons now are bright red and very beautiful. "Yunshan Yunxin, these beautiful ones are called persimmons. Although they are not edible yet, they will taste sweet after they soften for a while."

The persimmons are still hard and too astringent to eat. But they are easier to work with now. Peel and dry the persimmons to make them taste better and are very suitable for snacks.
