The Strongest Dad in the 1980s: Fu Bao is the daughter of Heaven

Chen Feng was about to go find Chen De and Da Lu, but he was slightly startled when he heard his mother's voice.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother Chen asked: "A Feng, how is our family's income now? Do we have enough money?"

Chen Feng paused slightly, then nodded quickly, "Rich man, what's wrong?"

But before Mother Chen could say anything, Chen Feng asked again: "Do you miss your grandparents and uncle?"

Mother Chen nodded, "I think, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't think I can go home to see them."

"The National Day is just around the corner. Let's go find them then. No matter how we move, they will be nearby," Chen Feng said.

He plans to dry the mulberry leaves in their home and sell them. In this way, there will not be much left to deal with the house. It will be more convenient when everyone has a holiday during the National Day.

Mother Chen nodded, "Okay, let's go see them on National Day."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

He was about to leave, but he still looked back at his mother and said in a comforting voice: "Mom, don't worry too much. I'll go to the village committee team tomorrow to see if there is any letter from my uncle."

Letters from their side are generally not sent to the village. They are sent to the brigade. Then someone from the village goes to the brigade and may bring them back. If not, someone needs to check them every once in a while.

Mother Chen was also afraid that Chen Feng would be worried, so she smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I know, don't worry about me, I'm fine, you go play, I will give Tangtang a bath later."

"Ah."

……

Probably because Chen's mother was worried about this matter, she didn't sleep well at night.

The next day, Chen Feng got up with Tangtang first, and then continued to work on Mumu and Phellinus mulberry.

The three brothers Chen Feng all knew that Phellinus mulberry was valuable. Before going to the city, they planned to visit all the hills near the village to look for wood.

"Then you go!" Mother Chen said to Chen Feng after hearing about it, "I just happen to be taking Tangtang up the mountain to pick chestnuts. Last time I went to the nunnery, there were quite a lot. It would be a waste if I didn't pick them."

After hearing this, Chen Feng also said: "Then if we are free, we can go over there and pick the chestnuts back and fry them to eat."

Stir-fried chestnuts with sand, basically without adding sugar, are very fragrant and soft, and have a completely different texture than directly simmering them with water.

Mother Chen nodded, "Sure, let's do it!"

After Chen Feng and the others left, Chen's mother took Tangtang and asked Zhang Cuilian to go up the mountain together.

No one knew about that place, and the two of them didn't want to tell anyone. They wanted to focus on their own family first.

After noon, when the sun set to the west, they walked to the village.

"Cuilian, tell me, there are still so many chestnuts in the mountains. Should we get more and sell them in the town?" Mother Chen said as they were about to get home.

Zhang Cuilian nodded quickly, "That's okay! There are a lot of chestnuts in the mountains. Let's pick more tomorrow and sell them all."

Mother Chen thought so too, so she nodded, "Sure, let's do it."

Although chestnuts grow in the mountains, not every village has chestnuts in the mountains.

For example, the wild chestnuts in their mountains are actually not really wild, but were cultivated artificially in the past. Later, after constant upgrading, they became wild and no one cared about them.

As for the chestnuts they are picking from Baiyingan, they were still managed before. The yield is large and the taste is good. It is better to pick them and sell them than to waste them in the mountains.

So, for two consecutive days, they both got up early and went to the mountains.

Originally, Chen's mother felt that this trip was very hard. She didn't want Tangtang to follow her, so she asked other people in the village to take a look and give her a lunch.

But when Tangtang heard this, she quickly shook her head, "No, no, Tangtang wants to go too."

In the end, Mother Chen could only bring the person with her.

Fortunately, Tangtang was used to walking on mountain roads and had endless energy. She walked most of the mountain roads by herself without feeling tired.

Mother Chen has been coming and going in the past few days, looking at chestnuts and peeling burrs in the mountains. She feels terribly tired, but she sees Tangtang enjoying herself.

She couldn't help but joked: "This kid, Tangtang, is really not afraid of getting tired."

Zhang Cuilian was also surprised, "Yes, this child can still walk. We who work in the fields every day are not as good as a child."

Mother Chen smiled and said, "Maybe when I was in the nunnery, I followed my teacher around a lot!"

Zhang Cuilian had only this possibility after thinking about it.

……

After picking enough chestnuts to carry to the town to sell, Chen's mother made an appointment with Zhang Cuilian and went together the next day.

Of course, the little gossip Tangtang also followed.

However, unlike the last time, Tangtang went empty-handed, this time she also brought her little puppet.

Seeing this, Chen's mother asked her, "Tangtang, let's not take it out. What if it is lost?"

Tangtang shook her head, "No, Tangtang will protect it."

Although Zhang Cuilian didn't know the situation of the wooden doll, she saw Tangtang holding it and persuaded her, "Let her take it with her. What does she have to do?"

Mother Chen nodded, "Okay, you take it, and your Uncle Zhang and I will sell chestnuts."

"Uh-huh."

Feeling hungry, Mother Chen also packed a bag of fried chestnuts and rice as her lunch ration.

……

When the three of them arrived in the town, it was still very early. There were not many people in the market and on the sidewalks, and there were still many stalls.

Zhang Cuilian quickly found a place, "Let's stay here! It's just right here."

Mother Chen nodded, "Sure, here it is."

Mother Chen also brought a small pony, which was convenient for Tangtang to sit on.

"Come on, Tangtang, sit here and don't run around. Grandma and your uncle sold the chestnuts, let's go home!"

Tangtang is also well-behaved. Knowing that the adults are busy with business, she obediently sits on the edge and touches her little doll.

No one knows what the little puppet Tangtang does. The Chen family, mother and son, only regard it as a toy that has been around Tangtang since she was a child, so she takes it with her wherever she goes.

So when Tangtang was talking to the little puppet, Mother Chen didn't feel at ease.

"Xiaobao, be good." Tangtang patted the little puppet and played happily.

Seeing this, Zhang Cuilian laughed, "Hey," "This kid is quite happy playing by himself."

Mother Chen nodded, "Well, she is a very well-behaved child. She can play with someone else, and she can also play by herself. Let's leave her alone and work first!"

Chestnuts are something that everyone is familiar with and are not expensive. In addition, many people don’t have them at home, so Mrs. Chen and the others sell them for two or three cents a pound, and many people come to buy them.

After a while, baskets of dozens of kilograms of chestnuts had bottomed out.

It had been a long time since Mrs. Chen had been out selling anything. She was a little happy to see chestnuts bottoming out so quickly. “It was quite fast. I sold so much at once.”

Zhang Cuilian smiled and said: "Everyone has come out at this point to buy things."

Mother Chen nodded, "Well, it shouldn't take long for us to sell out."

As the sun got higher and higher, only a small basket of chestnuts that the two brought out was left.

After that, they had lunch first.

Lunch was simple, just chestnuts and some dry rice, with some pickles.

Mother Chen gave Tangtang to peel the chestnut shells so that she could eat them more easily.

At this moment, Tangtang suddenly raised her head and looked not far away.

"Eldest sister?" she shouted in confusion.

Then, a figure appeared in front of them.
