"Why are you so useless? Why don't you get the corn down the mountain?" Wang Sufen gave Li Muwu an impatient look. As someone who saw the branches stretch and shrink at will without kneeling down, Wang Sufen felt that Li Muwu was a little too cowardly.

Holding his knees and shaking his legs, Li Muwu rolled and stood up, but looking at the lost corn and potatoes, he still felt a little dizzy in his eyes. Li Muwu trembled and pointed to the grain on the ground, his lips trembling: "Is this made by our girl?"

Wang Sufen nodded proudly: "Our daughter is very old, and my mother said that she was given birth by a god. But you can't tell others about this, and Mu Sen is not allowed to tell it. And all the sons of our family are all It's getting bigger and bigger every year, and I'm not sure when will you expose this matter, shut up for me, do you hear me?"

Li Muwu gave Wang Sufen a dull look: "You don't know if I'm strict or not?"

Wang Sufen remembered her husband's character of not being able to hit two farts with one stick, and was relieved immediately, she grabbed her waist, waved the hoe in her hand, and looked at the attitude of Mrs. Li: "I am here to harvest food, Hurry up and transport down, as much as you can transport before it gets dark!"

When Li Muwu picked up a handful of rice and was about to throw it into the basket, he suddenly saw a rice bowl wrapped in blue cloth, and quickly took it out and handed it to Wang Sufen: "I was scared and forgot, this is the rice my mother brought you. You hurry up and rest for a while, put the child down and crawl on the ground, you are always tired and panicked while carrying her."

Hearing this, Wang Sufen looked at Li Muwu with inexhaustible words: "I'm afraid to put her on the ground, and when I look back on the mountain, she will turn it into corn." But as soon as the words fell, Wang Sufen remembered that Zhen Zhen had made several meters long on her back. The branches seem to be unsafe with her back.

Wang Sufen took off her back towel and put Zhen Zhen in the basket brought by Li Muwu: "Send your daughter home to let Osmanthus watch her. If I go back late, let Osmanthus cook her an egg custard to eat."

Li Muwu responded, put some potatoes that weighed about the same weight as Zhen Zhen in the basket in front, put the pole on his back, and walked down the mountain with great strides.

Sitting in the wobbly basket, Zhen Zhen grabbed the edge of the basket curiously and looked out, this ancient and lush forest is full of rich products, there are dozens of wild fruits that people know and eat frequently. When the fruit is not yet ripe, the red, yellow and green ones are particularly beautiful hanging on the tree. Zhen Zhen looked at the wild fruit, and then raised her head to look at the not-so-big pine cone growing on the tree.

Thinking of the smell of fried pine nuts at home during Chinese New Year, Zhen Zhen couldn't stop drooling, several pine cones on the tree grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye under Zhen Zhen's gaze, and the nuts fell off the tree when they became full. Down into the basket.

Zhen Zhen didn't know whether she was called a talent or an ability, she didn't seem to need to practice, just like breathing, eating and drinking, she seemed to know how to do it by nature. Such an interesting talent makes Zhen Zhen just like a child who just got a new toy, so she will never get tired of trying again and again.

Capsule fruit, raspberry, shandingzi, sand fruit, sorbus, wild hawthorn, grape and kiwi, the green wild fruit ripens quickly, the decayed fruit is full again, the ripe fruit is sweeter, every kind of wild fruit is sweet. Fall down when the taste is the best, and rush into the embrace of Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen looked at the more and more wild fruits in the basket, her smiling eyes turned into a crescent moon, while Li Muwu, who was carrying the burden, felt more and more wrong as he walked, why does the pole always fall backwards?

Pulling the pole forward and walking several dozen meters, the basket at the back fell again, Li Muwu finally reacted, and he hurriedly turned back to look at Zhen Zhen in the basket.

saw Zhen Zhen sitting firmly with a pine tower in her arms, she didn't know how much she ate in the basket, her face was like a small cat, red juice, purple juice, green juice intertwined , cute and somewhat funny. And around Zhen Zhen, there are seven or eight pine towers, and there are half a basket full of various fruits.

Seeing that the lantern fruit, which was broken in the past, hung tough on the pine tower without any signs of breaking the skin, Li Muwu turned his head back with difficulty, dragged the pole forward and back to restore the balance, and suddenly ran away quickly. Get up: "Mother...Mother..."

At the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Li tied the carriage to the tree, and she couldn't help but pick up the small shovel she brought with her to dig up wild vegetables in the surrounding area. As soon as she put the dug-in mother-in-law on the carriage, she heard her son's ghost crying and wolf howling from a distance.

Mrs. Li shook her head angrily: "I haven't seen anything in the world! If I had half of his brother's brain, I could worry less about it all these years."

As soon as she finished muttering, Mrs. Li saw Li Muwu appearing in her line of sight as if being chased by a wolf, and saw him rushing down from the mountain in a hurry, the soil baskets in front of and behind him swayed up and down, even the contents inside. Potatoes flew out.

The starving old lady Li was willing to spoil things like this, and she wanted to scold him as soon as her face changed, but when she was about to speak, she suddenly saw something in the back basket that looked familiar: the braids with red head ropes, The blue coat, the tender white skin, the big eyes like black grapes...

All of a sudden, Mrs. Li couldn't remember what potatoes, what food, and all she had in her mind was the granddaughter she had been waiting for for many years: "Li Muwu, if you dare to throw my granddaughter out of the basket, I will interrupt. Your dog's leg!" The mother's roar finally made Li Muwu sober up, he quickly regained his senses, and his footsteps slowed down.

Seeing that there was no one around quietly, Mrs. Li couldn't help but scolded her face: "I didn't tell you everything before, why are you scared like this?"

"No..." Li Muwu swallowed hard, not knowing how to explain to his mother: the first wave of shock has passed, and now he is going through the second round.

Li Muwu gave Li Muwu a blank look, and Mrs. Li went over to pick up Zhen Zhen and looked at the half basket of things, but Mrs. Li was quite curious: "How come the sand fruits are ripe in August? Where did you pick the pine cones? It's small, it's quite early to be cooked." While talking, Mrs. Li picked up a sand fruit and ate it up.

"No..." Li Muwu struggled to organize the language, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted mercilessly by Mrs. Li: "This year, the sand fruit is sweet and the water is still high, you can pick it up after you finish moving the grain. , I scraped it with a spoon and fed it to Zhen Zhen.”

"But……"

"How much did you eat for Zhen Zhen? Look how dirty this little face is." While speaking, Mrs. Li pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom, poured some water from the kettle, and rubbed Zhen Zhen's little face a few times. Wipe clean.

Seeing that Mrs. Li finally finished speaking like a series of cannons, Li Muwu had a chance to speak: "I don't know where these wild fruits were picked. When I turned around and saw half a basket of things, my legs were so frightened."

"Frightened and running so fast!" Mrs. Li couldn't help but grumble. She looked at the wild fruits in the basket, and even a few potatoes. It was estimated that Li Muwu threw them out, but she didn't know why. All fell into the back basket.

She has even seen vegetables growing out of thin air, but Mrs. Li really didn't take half a basket of wild fruits to heart, she urged Li Muwu to say, "You go up the mountain to pick something up, I'll go to your Aunt Li's house in front of you and ask her to help with the Zhen is going home. It's already afternoon, it's too late."

Mrs. Li hugged Zhen Zhen and walked away quickly, Li Muwu swayed up the mountain with his eyes straight, fortunately, the road to his own field went smoothly, Li Muwu would not go wrong even if he closed his eyes , In addition, it doesn't take a brain to pick things, so although Li Muwu's head is a mess, he still fills half a truckload of food before dark.

Although there was still some light on the horizon, it was almost dark on the mountain, so Li Muwu hurriedly loaded two baskets of corn and led Wang Sufen down the mountain.

Mrs. Li was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette bag. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law came down, she quickly lifted the felt cloth and asked Li Muwu to pour the corn into it.

The family took advantage of the last dim light in the sky to finally arrive home before it was dark. Li Muwu opened the door and drove the carriage in, and all the people in the family came out when they heard the movement.

"Grandma, you said that we should wait at home to arrange work for us, but we waited all afternoon, and we didn't have anything to do except watch Zhen Zhen?" Mingbei complained first when he saw his grandma.

"Zhen Zhen is very well-behaved, she never makes trouble, what's the use for you?" Smelling the smell of the food in the house, Mrs. Li didn't even have the heart to hate her grandson, she dexterously jumped off the carriage : "Go back to the house to eat first."

After washing her face and hands, Wang Sufen hurried back to the east room to see Zhen Zhen. At this time, Zhen Zhen had already eaten the egg custard and fell asleep sweetly, Wang Sufen took a pillow and blocked another layer outside, and then went out to eat.

The dinner in the evening was the rabbit meat stewed with potato cubes and wild vegetable dumplings left over at noon. Although Mingbei insisted that Mrs. Li said to eat hard today, Osmanthus did not believe his words. Now that the years are so difficult, there is only so much food in the family, and there is nowhere to buy it. If hadn't thought about parents and grandma going out all afternoon, would definitely be tired. Osmanthus was reluctant to serve even wild vegetable dumplings. With such a good dish as rabbit stewed potatoes, we should save food.

Mrs. Li was eating potatoes soaked in the aroma of meat and listening to Mingbei's ramble about the osmanthus, while Mingdong looked at Mrs. Li and stopped talking. Mrs. Li just pretended that she didn't see his eyes. The wine was very sweet.

After dinner, Mrs. Li wiped her mouth and saw several grandchildren yawning about to go to bed, so she hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't sleep first, go out to work with me." Mingdong and Mingxi: "Tomorrow you two should quit your job when you get your salary."

Ming Dong said quickly, "Honey, I still have more than half a month before school starts. Is it a bit early to quit work now?"

Looking at the eldest grandson, Mrs. Li showed a rare and pleasant look: "I will go to Bingcheng in a few days. You also take a two-day break. By the way, help me with my work at home." After listening to Mrs. Li, Dong had to answer. .

Remembering that some of my grandson's classmates were admitted to college, Mrs. Li asked again, "Have all of your classmates bought tickets? Are you going to start school together?"

Mingdong said quickly: "Wang Jianguo was admitted to Bingcheng University of Technology two days later than our agricultural university, but Li Aijun's Bingcheng University of Technology started the same day as me. We took the notice and opened the letter of introduction and already bought it. Tickets are available, and Wang Jianguo will also go with us, so that we can be a companion."

When Mrs. Li heard that they were going together, she was relieved. She got off the kang and turned on the electric light. She greeted the family members and said, "Hurry up and go out to work by the light." He turned around and said to Ming Dong, "Big brother is reluctant to use electricity when he reads books at night. What are you doing now, you can actually use our light bulbs."

Mrs. Li didn't say a word. She walked to the carriage with her hands behind her back, and pulled down the felt cloth covering it, revealing half the carload of corn, potatoes and cabbage.

Mingnan and Mingbei rushed to the carriage in two steps, they touched the cabbage, picked up two more corns, and looked back at Mrs. Li in disbelief: "Mother, this is all from our family? "

Madam Li looked at her family who had turned into fools, and smiled very satisfied: "It's all from our family!"

"Where did it come from?" Ming Dong couldn't help but ask as he helped his eyes on his nose.

Looking at the eldest grandson, who was always calm, Mrs. Li did not change her face and heartbeat: "Your uncle heard that our family has no food supply, and specially asked his comrades to buy food from the south and send it to us."

Mingdong always felt that something was wrong, and wanted to ask a few more questions. Mrs. Li seemed to see through his thoughts and blocked his mouth preemptively: "Your uncle is taking advantage of the public and using the big money to transport food. The truck helped us bring the food back, and he and his comrades took a great risk. We didn't dare to make a big deal of pulling the food, and we could only dump the things back a little bit quietly. Remember this, don't let it go Outsiders know that if someone implicates your uncle, I will not give him food for a month."

The three brothers Mingxi, Mingnan and Mingbei hurriedly nodded their heads as if smashing garlic: "Damn, don't worry, we promise not to talk about it!" Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction and looked at Mingdong again. Mingdong smiled helplessly: "Daddy, I know the seriousness, and it is specified that the uncle can't take this risk."

Then Mrs. Li smiled: "Put the cabbage and potatoes in the cellar, and pile the corn in the backyard. When you are at home tomorrow, you will peel the corn and throw it in the backyard to dry."

Mu Wu saw that the boys in the family had already started to work in full swing, and couldn't help but asked, "Why don't you send some to Mu Sen's family first?"

Mrs. Li took out her cigarette bag and took two puffs. Seeing that the children had all gone to the backyard, she whispered, "We still have ten kilograms of cornmeal and thirty kilograms of sweet potato noodles left in our house. You should give half of these to his family first. Go to the emergency, and let him come over to get the food after we have dumped all the food back. Your brother of the province believes that you really have to follow to pull the food, and it will be revealed by then."

Wang Sufen looked at Mrs. Li with admiration: "Mother, your head is so good!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Li raised her head proudly: "If it wasn't for my cleverness, Zhen Zhen would be able to entrust her to our family!"
