Chen Miao would chat with the two children. Chen Dou also played with them. An hour and a half later, they arrived at the persimmon tree. When they arrived, the birds on the tree were frightened and flew away.
"There are so many more? Are they all harmed by birds?" Yang Yuemei muttered.
Brothers Chen Chunlai and Chen Lian climbed up the tree slowly, while the rest of the people were waiting below.
There are a lot of persimmons on the tree. Everyone wants to have more persimmons in their home, right?
Chen Tong saw that they were not giving him any help, and now he became anxious. He climbed up the tree very quickly. "Fourth sister, please continue."
Chen Long and Chen Tian were also a little anxious, but there were already three people on the tree. They were adults, and they were a little embarrassed to go up.
Chen Miao looked down and said, "Second brother, third brother, there is a persimmon tree not far over there."
Now the two brothers were happy, and the two families quickly passed by.
Chen Miao was playing nearby with her two children. She would pick up branches whenever she saw them. The most indispensable thing for country people is firewood. The corn stalks at home were not enough to burn, and they had to be fed to the little donkey.
Thinking of this, it is better to keep a small donkey, as there will be no need for more.
The two children watched their mother pick up branches, and they would also help her pick them up. The two younger ones, who were not yet one year old, still waddled like penguins when they walked. But they already knew how to help their mother with her work.
The third mother picked up a lot and put them away where she was carrying people. Seeing that it was getting late, she let the two children drink milk and eat steamed buns later.
After eating, the mother and son tied the remaining branches together. After a while, they carried it down the mountain. The basket was hung in front of them, as if they were being carried on their backs.
Chen Dou ran over and said, "Third sister, the persimmons are all gone. Big brother said there is a small persimmon tree next to it. I will dig it back and plant it in the yard next spring."
"Yeah. There are quite a few. One tree is enough for one family."
Chen Dou teased his two nephews.
Chen Xiaoyan was very happy to see the two baskets of persimmons at home. Yang Yuemei took a look at them and said, "Put them in three baskets and you and your brothers will take them home."
"Mom, what should I do if someone sees me?"
“If you see it, pick it yourself.”
Chen Xiaoyan smiled, that's right. She came over to pick it because she was greedy. But she immediately thought of what to do if there was no one at home to steal it.
"Mom, there is no one in our family. What if someone steals it? My third aunt said there are also wild jujubes. Just now I saw there are also mountain red dates. I want to pick them all. How about you go back and dry the persimmons?"
She wanted to go back, but she was afraid that there would be less mountain red and wild jujubes to pick. What if her second uncle and third uncle finished picking them?
"That's okay, you and your father can stay." Both sons are too practical, so it's better for the daughter to stay so that she can get more things.
When Chen Miao came over, he happened to see their mother carrying a basket on her back, so that was okay.
Chen Xiaoyan came over and said, "Third aunt, is there anything else? Let's go pick mountain reds?"
"There are also mountain chard, they are delicious. Let's go there together when your second uncle and third uncle come over."
Chen Xiaoyan was happy. Son of a bitch, she must pick more. If her elder brother and younger brother are not around, she can still climb the tree.
"Third aunt, I'm going to see my second uncle and the others." She was still holding a sack when she left. She was not afraid that there were many good things.
Here Chen Tong also wanted to go down the mountain to send her off. He looked at the third sister and the fourth sister. "I will send you back too."
He picked a basket and a half, and Chen Dou was afraid that he wouldn't be able to carry it. "Third sister, let's take it back."
"Go ahead, I picked a lot of other things too. There's really no need to do this. Eating too many persimmons can hurt your stomach."
The two siblings didn't know what hurt their stomachs, so they divided the two baskets of persimmons between them and went down carrying the baskets on their backs.
Chen Shan looked at Third Sister, "Xiao San, have you ever encountered wild boars, wolves or anything like that when you go up the mountain?"
"Yes, the land above is destroyed every year."
"Can you tell what it is?"
Chen Miao shook his head, "I'm not sure. It looks like it's a wild boar or something."
"Third sister, I will call you second brother and third brother and we will dig a trap in your field."
"Brother, it's freezing now, so it's hard to dig."
"It's okay. It's not too cold." As long as it can be harvested, after working for a year, it can be said that there is no meat at all. There was no separation before. How come you can eat eggs several times a year? My mother is very supportive of their brothers.
good.
After living on my own, I really couldn't bear to eat it. The eggs could be exchanged for salt when delivered to the town. The family's income depended on them, so of course they couldn't bear to eat them.
"Brother, it's okay to dig traps, but you must come together when you go up the mountain. If there is really any danger, there are more people and more solutions."
Chen Xiaoyan carried the basket to the persimmon tree. There were a lot of persimmons on this persimmon tree, but not as many as they picked just now.
"Second uncle, third uncle, and my third aunt said that there are also mountain cucumbers, mountain reds and wild jujubes. I think you have finished picking them. Would you like to go with them?"
Zhao Erya was shocked just now. They knew who this eldest niece was. She came here with a basket on her back and they were afraid that she would come and snatch it away. He was very happy when he heard that he was going to pick mountain cucumbers. If he sent this back to his parents' family, his parents would be happy.
.
"Xiaoyan, where are your persimmons?"
"My eldest brother and my mother were sent back, and my uncle and aunt were also sent back." Chen Xiaoyan had selfish motives, thinking that there would be fewer people left in their family. There are still two people in their family, so it would be better for them to pick mountain cucumbers.
Much.
Chen Long and Chen Tian also heard what their niece said, and when they came down, "You two sisters will also be sent back."
"My mother is staying at home. If she goes back at this time, someone will definitely see her. What if she goes in and steals when no one is home?"
Zhang Yanhong thought for a while, "I'll take it to my mother."
Zhao Erya also nodded, it was indeed a good idea.
Chen Xiaoyan disagreed. She was afraid that there would be fewer milk delivery families, so it was better to give it to her own home. She couldn't let her mother deliver it to her grandma's family anyway. She had worked so hard to pick it.
The two brothers helped the two sisters carry the basket.
"Second uncle, third uncle, let's go there quickly, my third aunt is still waiting."
Chen Miao saw that only two brothers came over, and knew that they were also sent back.
Chen Shan and his two brothers talked about digging traps, and of course they were all willing to do so. Even if there were no big things, it would be fine if they could eat rabbit meat. A few years ago, when my father went to work in the town during the off-season, he always brought
Come back with some meat and order it again in the village. Anyway, you can eat a few pieces.
It can’t be done now, it’s too chaotic outside. Dad doesn’t go to work, and he can’t bear to spend money to buy meat.
After walking for an hour, I saw the Sandberg tree, which was also an old tree. Although they had picked some, there were still quite a few.
Chen Xiaoyan yelled and ran over, "Dad, hurry up. The sandalwood is turning red, it's so beautiful."
The sandalwood tree is quite thick, but the three brothers had already agreed on the road that one of them would go up to pick it, and the rest would be picked up from the ground, and they would be divided equally.
Chen Long was nimble and quickly climbed up the tree. Chen Yan knew she couldn't get too much, so she picked up and ate at the same time. It can be said that what she picked up was not as much as she ate.
This is my niece, and it’s hard to say anything as an uncle. I just tasted it, and although it is delicious, it is also sour. I want to eat more of this thing, but I can’t eat it.
