Liang Caixia knew that it was nothing to give just this little thing. But it depends on who it is. The eldest daughter-in-law must not be able to do it.
"No, I'll ask your father to bring me a pound of alkaline noodles tomorrow."
Now Chen Xiaoyan didn't know what to say. She really didn't want it for herself. She saw her grandparents entering the house, and her uncle stared at her fiercely. She had no choice but to go home. She even looked back when she left.
I glanced at the persimmons on the windowsill. Far away, I also saw the persimmons drying on the roof.
This is wrong. There is no persimmon tree at home. So many persimmons were definitely not given by others.
Thinking of this, she ran home. "Mom, my grandma said there is no alkaline noodles. I asked my father to bring her a pound back when he went to town."
Yang Yuemei frowned and looked very unhappy, "I don't know how many alkaline noodles there are at home? They must be for the third child's family."
Chen Xiaoyan can't think about anything else now, her mind is full of persimmons. "Mom, I just went to my grandmother's house and saw a lot of persimmons, and I even dried the persimmons on the roof of a house."
Yang Yuemei was stunned for a moment, "Where did it come from?"
"I don't know either. I asked, but my brother-in-law didn't tell me, and my grandma didn't say anything either."
"Two old immortals, their own grandchildren also protect their food, shouldn't they be given to their grandchildren? It's really not a thing."
Yang Yuemei was cursing and was very angry, but Chen Shan happened to come out and hear her.
"Shut up, keep talking nonsense and hurt you." Although it is unfilial, some people say that parents are not good enough even if they are daughters-in-law.
Yang Yuemei pouted, she really didn't dare to confront him on this matter.
But he was not idle, "Go to your mother's place and ask where the persimmons come from? There are a lot of them? We three children also want to eat something delicious. I want to ask the old Zhang family for a persimmon tree. Tell me there are no
.You go and ask if you can give me a persimmon tree.”
Chen Shan shook his head, "In a few days."
He also wants to eat persimmons. There is nothing to eat all year round. In fact, it would be great if a persimmon tree could be planted. I will ask later.
How could Yang Yuemei not know about her husband? She thought for a moment, "There is no alkaline noodles at home. Go to town and ask for a pound of milk from him."
Chen Shan nodded. He was thinking about the persimmons now. He had heard from his eldest daughter in the house just now that so many of them must not have been given by someone else. That would be Shan Shan alone. His father went to buy furniture for Chen San's family today and was not at home.
Mom can’t go out either. So only Chen Tong and Chen Dou picked it back. I asked if it came from the mountain and went there myself, hoping to satisfy the children’s hunger.
Chen Tong was a little anxious after his eldest niece left, "Mom, don't tell others that persimmons are picked from the mountains. I still want to pick them."
"Your brother, nephews and nieces are not outsiders either. We have enough at home to eat. Eating too many persimmons will hurt your stomach."
Chen Tong was unhappy. He wanted to eat something so sweet. He could eat it all day long. The amount at home would not be enough, and there wasn’t much left on the mountain.
How could Liang Caixia not know what her youngest son is like? "Tell your three brothers later and let them pick it by themselves. If they all come over, can you not give it to them?"
Chen Tong stopped talking and thought about asking the third sister to pick mountain chard seeds tomorrow. The third sister said that there was only one cinderella tree and she wanted to pick more.
"Mom, I'm going to Third Sister's house to push persimmons."
Liang Caixia didn't care. He could go if he wanted to.
Chen Miao has already prepared rice here, and the millet porridge can be eaten by two children. It is also good to have one egg for each person.
Just after I finished eating, I heard a knock on the door and helped Chen Tong get into the car.
"Third sister. Just now Chen Xiaoyan saw Persimmon at home, and my mother said she should tell her three brothers."
Chen Miao had no objection. The old persimmon tree had grown a few saplings. They would bring them back in the spring of next year and plant them one by one in the yard. They would be able to eat persimmons in three years.
"Third sister, let's go pick mountain chard tomorrow. Mom has lost all the chub you gave her."
"Well, I'll go tomorrow."
Now Chen Tong was happy and pushed the cart home.
During dinner in the evening, we talked about going to pick mountain cucumbers tomorrow.
"Look carefully. There are wolves on the mountain. Several people similar to your elder brother died on the mountain." Chen Dongsheng said.
"Dad, my third sister often goes up the mountain. Anyway, we didn't see a single rabbit today. My third sister told us to be careful, and we all obeyed."
They had just finished breakfast the next day. It was a bit cold today, so Chen Miao put on thin cotton clothes for the two children. She brought a jar and a flint so that they could drink hot water.
We went directly to the mountain fungus tree. Chen Miao watched his brother and sister pick fungus under the tree. He accompanied his two children to pick fungus. There were two logs behind the house at home. They were brought back the year before last. They might not be ventilated.
, there are not many fungus on the tree.
I didn't notice it last time, but there were quite a lot of it. It's still food after all. It would be best if I could exchange it for money.
I also found a lot of mushrooms. I don’t dare to eat them because I don’t know if they are poisonous. A little fungus would be good.
Siblings Chen Dou and Chen Tong really picked a lot and had a full basket.
"Third sister, there are several saplings sprouting from the roots of the tree, can we dig them back?" Chen Dou asked.
"Okay, there are a few persimmon trees, but they are not available now. Even if you dig them back, they won't survive. You still have to wait until spring next year. Come on, let's go back."
It was already noon, I had already fed my two children, and I didn’t plan to stay in the mountains any longer.
"Third sister, there are a lot of wild dates, can we pick some?"
"Hurry up, it's cold today, I'm afraid Yunshan and the others will catch a cold."
When the three of them went down the mountain, the brother and sister separated each other with half a basket, so it would be easier to carry them on their backs.
Chen Tong will pick wild jujubes when he sees them. "Third Sister, you can eat the sweet and sour ones."
"I won't eat it, it's sour."
Chen Tong gave it to his two nephews, but the two brothers didn't want it, but they still remembered that they had eaten it last time and it was not delicious.
Chen Xiaoyan had been staring at her grandma's house. She didn't see her old uncle going out. She had eaten two meals at home and didn't eat at noon. She stared at her grandma's house. She actually saw her old aunt and uncle carrying a basket into the house.
This must be when she went to the mountains to pick persimmons. She was scratching her head and felt so cruel that she wanted to go and see it even if she was scolded.
Chen Tong was so arrogant that he called his fourth sister to enter his house directly.
As soon as they came out, they saw Chen Xiaoyan coming in. I felt lucky that they were not allowed to see Shan Dingzi.
"Auntie, what were you and my uncle doing? I saw you guys coming back with a basket on your back."
"What do you care about?" Before Chen Dou could say anything, Chen Tong shouted back.
"Uncle, did you pick these persimmons from the mountain?" Dad said last night that some of his friends secretly went up the mountain when they were young and never came down. The village organized people to look for them. They said they saw the head and refused to let them go.
They go up the mountain.
But it’s really hard not to let them go when there’s something delicious to eat. Old aunts and uncles can go, so why can’t they?
