Chapter 119 After the Autumn Harvest
The red beans they brought back had been cleaned up by Wang Cuijuan and Wang Dongmei.
After drinking the ginger soup, the two of them lay in the house for the whole day.
This day was the happiest day in Chen Sanlin’s twenty years of life!
It seemed like his wife had become a different person, and she was acting so coquettishly that he could hardly bear it.
Especially at night, she wouldn't let me sleep without a kiss, and she kept leaning against me.
And... touching me randomly.
If Chen Sanlin hadn't been so righteous, he would have stumbled a long time ago...
Of course, the main reason is that Xu Wenyan is still sick.
But with such a sweet and soft daughter-in-law, Chen Sanlin really feels that his life has reached its peak.
After staying in the quilt for a whole day, Xu Wenyan felt much more awake the next day. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, he didn't feel anything else.
"Wife, you're awake." Chen Sanlin smiled gently at Xu Wenyan: "Kiss."
Looking at Chen Sanlin's mouth approaching, Xu Wenyan frowned and looked at him with disgust.
"roll."
Chen Sanlin was kicked off the bed.
He sat on the ground with a confused look on his face until Xu Wenyan got dressed and went out.
Then he laughed.
This is my wife!
"Wife, are you still dizzy? Do you want to eat something? Do you want to drink some water? Do you want to..."
"Uncle. You're awake!!!"
Several little ones swarmed up and hugged Xu Wenyan and cried.
"Wow, little uncle, why didn't you come back all night? Sister Rongrong, and my sister are all very worried about you." Chen Dong cried the loudest. He didn't sleep the whole night yesterday and just stayed by the stove.
After learning that Xu Wenyan was ill, the little guy became even sadder, but he didn't dare to disturb his uncle. Today he finally saw him.
Xu Wenyan was very pleased to see that the children cared about him so much.
"Wenyan, come and drink this red bean porridge." There was only a little rice at home, so Wang Cuijuan cooked such a big bowl of it, all for Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan was not pretentious. He picked up the bamboo tube and drank it in a few gulps. He hadn't eaten anything the whole day yesterday and was really hungry.
"Feeling better?"
Xu Wenyan nodded and said, "Yeah, much better. Where are my second uncle and Xiaohu?"
"The heavy rain yesterday caused the hillside behind to collapse a little. They are planning to fix it with some wood, otherwise it will affect this side."
"oh oh."
The rain came heavily, but fortunately everyone followed Xu Wenyan's advice and built drainage ditches around the house, so the house was not flooded.
Moreover, this shelter was carefully built brick by brick, and was better than the houses they lived in in the village, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand the heavy rain.
It was cloudy for two days before the sun came out.
There were still a lot of red beans on the opposite mountain, which were given to Chen Sanlin, Zhou Jianye and Xiaohu. They went out early in the morning carrying backpacks and cloth bags. Everyone attached great importance to this staple food.
Xu Wenyan went to see how the wood ears on the dead trees grew. Since they were not far away, Xu Wenyan brought Rong Xiaoliu and Rongrong, brother and sister, with him.
"Brother Xu, I saw it." Rong Xiaoliu was walking in the front and smiled happily when he saw the wood ear on the dead tree.
It was the first time for both the brother and sister to pick mushrooms, so it seemed particularly novel to them.
"Then don't pick the ones that are smiling, leave them to grow longer."
After such a heavy rain, the wood ears on the dead trees grew well, and each one was as big as half a palm.
Xu Wenyan also saw many light brown mushrooms growing under the Qinggang tree. These were wild Qinggang mushrooms. The mushrooms were of different sizes. Although this wild mushroom is edible, it is slightly poisonous.
It is not recommended to eat this kind of food if you are not absolutely sure.
"Brother Xu, come and see what this is."
Hearing Rong Xiaoliu's voice, Xu Wenyan ignored the patches of Cynomolgus.
I saw a piece of green fungus growing on a stone. Xu Wenyan was delighted: "This is ground fungus, also called rosary algae, it can be eaten."
"Mushroom, ground mushroom, are there also water mushrooms?" Rongrong asked puzzledly.
Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, both of these fungus can be eaten and they are both delicious. Let's pick some more and take them back. They can be preserved for a long time after being dried."
Xu Wenyan also saw soybean-sized mushrooms on the rotten wood. It was indeed autumn, and these mushrooms began to sprout.
I estimate that it will take only a few days to pick mushrooms. Now if we eat sparingly, we will have enough food to get through the winter.
After returning home, I fried bacon and rabbit meat with two kinds of wood ears. There were four dishes on the table. Today, I also steamed and stewed rice, which was a rare meal to celebrate the autumn harvest.
Zhou Jianye picked up the bamboo tube, which actually contained some wild fruits to give the water some flavor: "As an elder, I would like to say a few words. The most important reason why we can survive in this mountain is our concerted efforts.
Of course, the most important thing is that my nephew and his wife are both capable people. I wish us a better life!"
"it is good!"
Everyone was cheering below, and everyone talked about the difficulties they had experienced in the past six months. Many people shed tears.
Xu Wenyan turned his head and looked at Chen Sanlin and smiled.
It’s really cool how this big guy has taken care of himself over the past six months.
