The happy little days of the Ye family

After talking about Chenchen, Ye Qingqing began to pack the things he brought back from the mountain.

I picked a lot of mushrooms and my family couldn’t finish them all.

Ye Qingqing packed up half of the basket and took it to his own home to eat.

The rest is taken to the backyard to dry, and after drying it can be sold for money.

Save the largest bamboo shoots for pickling in the evening, and the remaining smaller ones can be saved for later eating.

Ye Qingqing only kept a small part of the wild vegetables, and gave the rest to Aunt Chen.

Ye Qingqing saw Aunt Chen picking beans and planned to make fried beans with bacon and boiled celery for lunch. Anyway, one person couldn't eat much.

Seeing that Chenchen was not very clingy, Ye Qingqing planned to go to the back mountain with Ye Qingmei tomorrow.

Maybe she hasn't eaten bamboo rats for a long time, so it would be nice to get a few for a change.

Ye Qingqing looked at the black beans and small flowers at his feet. The two dogs had grown to be about the same size as big yellow and small yellow.

Tang Xiaojing would occasionally take them to the mountains for hunting, and now they were two majestic hounds.

Ye Qingqing looked at them with interest, "It's up to you tomorrow."

The next morning, while Ye Qingqing was still having breakfast, Ye Qingmei had already come to look for her.

"Qingqing, I'm here, do you miss me?"

Ye Qingmei often comes over to play with Ye Qingqing. Heidou and Xiaohua at home don't bark when they see her, and even gently wag their tails at her to express welcome.

Ye Qingqing rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not your second cousin. What do you want me to do?"

"Huh, you little heartless kid, you just miss your Tang Xiaojing." Ye Qingmei was not to be outdone, her mouth was very sharp.

The two bickered for a while, and Ye Qingmei urged again:

"Hurry up, you're always dragging your feet."

"I know, it's getting more and more verbose."

Ye Qingqing quickly drank the porridge in the bowl in one go, then took it to the hydrolysis side and rinsed it casually a few times.

This porridge has a clear soup with little water and no oil stains. It will be clean after just two rinses.

After returning to the kitchen, Ye Qingqing took another larger bowl and hurried back to the house.

With yesterday's experience, Ye Qingqing quickly expressed the milk this time. Then he changed into old clothes full of patches.

After walking to the bedside and kissing Chenchen's little face, Ye Qingqing reluctantly went out.

As soon as they were cleaned up, Aunt Chen came back with the washed diapers.

"Aunt Chen, please take care of me in the morning. I have squeezed the milk and put it on the table in the room."

"Okay, I'll be watching Chenchen."

The little guy is still just a little baby who only drinks milk and sleeps. She can easily take care of it by herself.

Picking up the hoe and basket, Ye Qingqing shouted with great force.

"Qingmei, let's go, let's go to the back mountain to catch bamboo rats."

Ye Qingmei played with her little sisters' hands happily, "Let's go catch bamboo rats."

When Heidou and Xiaohua saw Ye Qingqing and Ye Qingmei going out, they quickly followed them out.

Aunt Chen couldn't help laughing when she saw that they were both mothers and acting like children:

"These two girls look like little girls."

However, the two of them can still act like little girls, which shows that they married well and were not bullied or wasted.

The bamboo forest is in the middle of the back mountain. On the way up the mountain, the sisters picked mushrooms.

When the two of them left yesterday, all the mushrooms on the mountain had been picked up, and after just one night, many mushrooms had grown again.

Although the newly grown mushrooms are small, the mushrooms that have not yet grown up taste better.

Big mushrooms are beautiful to look at, but they don’t taste as good as these small mushrooms.

Ye Qingqing usually dries the large mushrooms and sells them, while keeping the small mushrooms for his own consumption.

The mountain behind was owned by the government, not their own. The two of them did not wait for the mushrooms to grow up, and put them all into their own baskets.

Ye Qingqing was picking mushrooms when he suddenly discovered three wild yams.

The vines of these yams have withered, no wonder they have not been discovered.

If Ye Qingqing hadn't dug up yams while digging for fungi, he wouldn't have discovered it.

"Xiao Qingmei, come here quickly."

After discovering something good, Ye Qingqing quickly waved to the little sisters.

Seeing Ye Qingqing smiling brightly, Ye Qingmei knew she had found something good again and trotted over.

The two sisters quickly swung their hoes and dug out all three yams in a few clicks.

The vines of the yam have withered, and the yam below has not grown much. But the three trees added together are enough for two families to have a meal each.

There were fewer people picking mushrooms today than yesterday. When they walked to the bamboo forest, Ye Qingqing had already picked half a basket of mushrooms.

Unlike mushrooms, bamboo shoots can grow right away the next day. There were only a few people in the bamboo forest today.

Bamboo rats usually hide in holes to sleep during the day and come out to eat bamboo at night.

In addition, there are many people in the bamboo forest these two days, so they dare not come out and wander around during the day.

But with the two dogs Heidou and Xiaohua, they can be found even if they hide in the ground.

Black beans and small flowers were sniffing left and right in the bamboo forest.

After a while, Black Bean started to bark. The two sisters went over and took a look, and sure enough there was a hole.

Then the little flowers not far away started screaming, and Ye Qingqing found another bamboo rat hole.

Not long after, Heidou and Xiaohua found three bamboo rat holes in total.

Ye Qingqing looked at the excited little sister and said to her with a smile:

"Xiao Qingmei, let's block these bamboo rat holes, leaving only one outlet, and then smoke these little guys out."

"I know, just like catching voles, smoke them out. Look at me, when I was a kid, I didn't follow my brother and the others to catch mice in the fields."

Ye Qingmei moved very quickly, and within a short time, under the leadership of Heidou and Xiaohua, the two bamboo rat holes were blocked.

Ye Qingqing also found some half-dried weeds.

The two sisters squatted at the entrance of the cave, one of them lit the weeds on fire, and the other fanned into the entrance of the cave, trying to blow all the smoke into the cave.

The two dogs stared at the hole in front of them eagerly.

After smoking for a while, Ye Qingqing heard movement coming from inside, and quickly took an empty basket to cover the entrance of the cave.

Not long after, a total of five bamboo rats, two large and three small, ran out of the hole.

Ye Qingmei looked at the bamboo rat in the basket with surprise.

"These bamboo rats are so big. The big one weighs four or five kilograms, and the small one weighs nearly two kilograms."

"Qingqing, look at these two big ones, they are so fat. They look a bit like rabbits from the back."

"Looking at how hopeless you are, if you follow me from now on, I will ensure that you enjoy the food and drink spicy food."

"Yes, yes, you are still awesome."

Ye Qingqing took out two sacks and packed these bamboo rats that were ready to escape from prison.

Ye Qingqing asked for three of them, and put the others, one large and one small, into another sack and gave them to Ye Qingmei.

The two walked around in the bamboo forest again, dug out a few young bamboo shoots that had just grown, and then went back satisfied.
