Chen Tong knew he had to tell them, but he didn't say anything even though he didn't want to.
He entered the main room, opened the lid of the pot, and inside there was a pancake with three-height noodles. He didn't care about anything at this moment. He just steamed the pickles today and started eating them in big and small bites.
Chen Dou was washing his hands and face outside. Chen Xiaoyan would not give up until she got the news.
"Auntie, have you gone up the mountain?"
"Yes, I will follow your third aunt. If it were just your uncle, we wouldn't dare." Chen Dou was a down-to-earth person, so he just said it without thinking too much.
When Chen Xiaoyan heard that it was the third aunt, she was very happy. They didn't dare to go. They would definitely be able to go with the third aunt.
"Auntie, I'm going back."
Chen Dou came in to eat and Chen Tong curled his lips, "Fourth sister, she must have gone to find her sister-in-law, there is no good one."
Chen Dou ignored him. Of course he knew what he was like. In fact, what my mother said yesterday was right. If my nephews and nieces come over and ask for it, can I really not give it to them? It’s tiring to go up the mountain, pick it, and carry it down. I really don’t want to give it to others.
. Let them pick it off themselves.
"Fourth sister, tell her that third sister will take her up the mountain, and they will go find third sister. The weather is getting colder and colder, and then third sister will be reluctant to take Yunshan and Yunxin up the mountain."
Chen Dou also came to his senses, his face was ugly, really, why did he tell the third sister? If he couldn't, he would take Yunshan and the others at home, and the third sister might not be willing to let him go.
This time I didn't even bother to eat anymore, and hurriedly ran to find the third sister.
Chen Miao asked Chen Dou to eat at home and stir-fry cabbage steamed buns.
"Third Sister, I was stupid and didn't pay attention, so I told Xiaoyan that it was you who took us up the mountain. Third Sister, they should also come to find you."
"Talking while eating." Looking at the girl's embarrassed expression, she didn't think anything was wrong.
"Third sister, eldest brother and the others will definitely ask you to go up the mountain with them."
"Yeah. It's okay. I've finished all my work. You can also go up the mountain. After you finish eating, go tell the second brother and the third brother that we will go together tomorrow."
Chen Dou immediately understood that it was getting colder day by day. If the eldest brother and his friends were to go tomorrow, the second brother and the third brother's family would also know that they would all come to see the third sister. It would be safer to go together.
Chen Dou finished eating a steamed bun and wanted to leave, "Don't worry, I'm full. It won't take long."
Mainly because the eldest brother's family hasn't come to look for him yet, so he's afraid that he's just being sentimental and won't be used by others? It won't be a good idea to tell the other two brothers at that time.
The Yun Xin brothers watched their aunt eating with smiles. Chen Miao looked at his two sons and took out a steamed bun and gave each of them a piece, so that they didn't have to watch others eat.
After Chen Shan finished his dinner, Yang Yuemei urged, "Go find Chen Miao and ask them to take them up the mountain with you. There is no good thing. Good things are only for the younger siblings. Aren't nephews and nieces close to each other?"
He didn't want to listen to his wife, so he stood up and left.
When I arrived at Sanmei's door, I happened to meet the younger sister.
"Brother."
"Where is your third sister?"
"Brother, I'm here. Chen Dou, go and tell the second brother and the third brother that it will be early tomorrow."
Chen Dou ran away obediently.
Chen Shan also knew that he wanted to call his two brothers together. "Third sister, you will go up the mountain with me tomorrow. Xiaoyan said there are persimmons?"
"Yes, there are also hawthorns, wild dates and so on. Let's go up there and take a look tomorrow."
Chen Shan nodded and left. Yang Yuemei was very anxious, seeing the man coming back so soon. "You told Chen Miao!"
"Yeah. The second and third sons will go together tomorrow."
"Huh, how much do the three families have to share?"
Chen Shan just let her talk and went to bed on his own.
Chen Xiaoyan was really happy to hear that she went up the mountain. She wanted to eat persimmons.
Chen Dou told his two brothers that they would meet at the third sister's house early tomorrow.
Zhang Yanhong curled her lips, "They must have put away all the good things. They came here to please me when they had nothing to offer."
Chen Long didn't say anything. He really didn't think there was anything on the mountain, so we could all go there together.
The third child and his wife thought the same as the second child, and they thought it was nothing. Anyway, the current chores at home were cooking vegetables in the yard and grinding corn, so it was nothing major, so it was good to go and have a look.
The next morning, Chen Miao fed the livestock at home, but would not let the chickens, ducks and geese out for fear of someone stealing them. Now is the time for fattening. Although they no longer lay eggs, others would not let them out if it was cheaper.
After everything is put away, I still hold the can. If it's late, I can get some hot water for my sons to drink.
Take them there today, and whoever wants to go can go alone.
Just after packing up, two siblings, Chen Dou and Chen Tong, also came over. "Third sister, let's go up and have a look." Chen Dou also brought a small pickaxe to dig yams.
Yang Yuemei looked at the three children and knew of course that they all wanted to go. They were no longer young, so they could go with them. If there were really good things, they could get more. "They all carry baskets, and each one carries two sacks.
.”
They were a family of five walking towards Chen Miao's house, and met the third and fourth children. Zhao Erya did not take the children with him. He asked the eldest daughter to grind corn at home. She was afraid that she would have nothing to eat if she went up the mountain, and would also delay the family's work.
.
"Sister-in-law, are you all going?"
Chen Xiaoyan immediately agreed, "Third aunt, my uncle, and my aunt have brought back a lot of persimmons. I have seen them all. We are old and can carry a lot."
"That's really a lot?" Zhao Erya was moved.
Yang Yuemei immediately answered, "It's quite a lot. Who knows if there are any more on the mountain? Couldn't they have picked them all?"
Zhao Erya nodded, "That's right. If it's really too much, I'll go up there tomorrow."
When we arrived at Chen Miao's door, the second son and his wife had already arrived.
"Uncle, aunt, are you going too?" Chen Xiaoyan curled her lips and asked, why are you still going to grab them when there are already so many?
"Can you care?" Chen Tong rolled his eyes.
Chen Miao heard the commotion and came out with a basket on her back. The two children looked at so many people curiously.
Chen Miao just nodded, "Let's go."
When the child was born, her parents' brothers and sisters-in-law came over to take a look. In fact, it was not a good idea to do this in the countryside. It was because Chen Miao did not have an in-laws and the man was not around yet, so her parents' family ignored her.
Chen Xiaoyan came to Chen Miao's side and said, "Third aunt, are there still many persimmons on the mountain?"
"There are still some, but they are all from the tops of trees, so they are not enough."
Chen Xiaoyan curled her lips, knowing it would be like this. "Third aunt, what else is good?"
"There are mountain reds, wild dates, chestnuts and yams, but I haven't found anything else."
"And Shanlihong? I want to eat it."
Chen Miao didn't say anything. It would be better to pick more. Life is too hard now and the children can't eat much. We can't blame them for being greedy. It's just that life is really bad.
"Third aunt, what are you doing holding the jar?"
"Yunxin and the others need to drink water, but cold water won't do."
The relationship between the three sisters-in-law was not good, and it was just superficial. They chatted with each other on the way, and the three brothers also talked and agreed to go to open up wasteland together next year.
