Amid the laughter of several people, the pine nuts in the small pot on the clay stove began to crackle and pop.

Goudan picked up a cracked pine nut from the ground, wiped it on his sleeve, and put it directly into his mouth.

"Be careful not to get burned!" Guangdan reminded worriedly, and then began to scoop the pine nuts dancing in the pot into a clean bamboo dustpan.

Wumao was no longer concerned with his work at this time. He found a pine nut with a big crack and squatted beside it, eating it with relish.

"Little girl! Dog hair! Come here! Fresh pine nuts are out of the pot! Grandma!!!" Guangdan looked at the slightly burnt pine nuts and grinned, showing his little white teeth.

Grandma Lin poked her head out of the kitchen and saw the children eating enthusiastically, so she walked over out of curiosity.

"How do you know this?" Grandma Lin was surprised and reached out to take a pine nut and put it in her mouth and chewed it for a few times.

Goumao'er and Xiaoya were eating breakfast nearby. Guangdan was so scared that he immediately gave the task of looking after the children to Goudan.

"It's just a little burnt, but it's quite delicious." Goudan tasted it seriously.

"The heat is still not right. I guess the fire was too big at the back." Guangdan picked out the burnt ones and tilted his head to admire his work.

"How about we try it again?" Wumaoer was eager to try it. He took the bamboo spoon from Guangdan's hand and prepared to fry it himself this time!

"Okay, I'll control the fire." Guangdan's arms were already tired, so he needed to take a break.

This five-cent guy thought he had got a good job and his face was full of excitement.

The pine nuts in the second pot were obviously much better than those in the first pot. Guangdan and Wumao were very satisfied with it. However, since they brought back too many pine cones, they had to find someone to help them.

With their pockets full of opened pine nuts, the two men went to the back mountain carrying baskets on their backs. Their main purpose was not to work, but to find Brother Gouwei.

Gouwei, who was chopping dead branches with a sickle, was suddenly surrounded by two little guys. He stopped what he was doing, somewhat puzzled.

"Brother, here! Eat!" Guangdaner generously took out a handful of pine nuts from his trouser pocket and put them in his brother's hand.

"What is this? From the pine tree?" Gouwei looked at them for a few seconds, then took one and put it in his mouth uncertainly.

"We fried it ourselves, isn't it good?" Wumao shook his head proudly, and Xiaojiujiu also shook his head.

"Brother, it's delicious, isn't it? When we go back in the evening, can you help us fry it? It's faster to fry it in a big pot, and we two are too weak." Guangdan said aggrievedly. Only the eldest brother in the family was easy to talk to.

"Sure, it's really delicious. After I chop the dead branches here and wait for grandma to finish cooking, I will use the remaining fire to fry it for you." Gouwei agreed immediately.

As the eldest brother, he usually doesn't do much for his younger brothers. Now that they finally ask him for help, shouldn't he help?

Speaking of Gouwei, since he is the oldest boy of this generation, there is several years age gap between him and his younger brothers, and they basically cannot play together.

But he doesn’t get along very well with his uncle who is of the same age as he has very different personalities, so the only friends he gets along well with are basically kids in the village.

Gouwei felt comfortable knowing that his younger brother was so close to him, and thought that he was also a useful person!

"Thank you, big brother. We will give you some when the time comes and save it for the winter!!!" Guangdan's little face was full of excitement. In his eyes, big brother was the best person in the family!

"Okay, I'm going to work. You guys go pick up firewood nearby!" Gouwei was worried that the sickle would hurt the little guys, so he quickly drove them away.

These days Fang Cuihua and Cao Lian no longer come to the back mountain to collect firewood, because the firewood for the winter is basically gone.

Their main job now is to harvest the cabbages and radishes from the fields.

In addition to making them into dried vegetables, some should also be stored in the cellar.

In fact, in some warmer places in the south, cabbage is basically not harvested. There is even a saying that cabbage is delicious only after it has been snowed in.

But it’s not the same in Lingxi Prefecture. The temperature is extremely low in winter, and if the fruits are not harvested, they will basically freeze to death.

As soon as Fang Cuihua came back, she saw the pine nuts in the small winnowing basket in the yard. They looked burnt but not crispy, which meant they were ripe.

"Did Guangdan do it?" He asked Goudan in the main room curiously while cracking pine nuts.

"Well, second brother is very smart. He succeeded in one go. Mom, did you see that? This one has a crack!" Goudaner showed off with a big pine nut in his hand.

"That boy only thinks about these messy things!" Fang Cuihua said and sneered.

But after putting down the pine nuts in his hand, he squatted beside the pine cones and started peeling them in no time.

Seeing her sister-in-law busy, Cao Lian also came over. Before Guangdan knew anything, the two of them quickly picked all the pine nuts off.

Seeing that the pine nuts are really edible, the family turned a blind eye to Gouwei helping to fry the pine nuts.

After all, as long as farmers in the mountains have the strength, they will never lack firewood.

The pine nuts that came out of the pot in the evening immediately amazed everyone in the family. After all, people in the village have thought about pine nuts before, but these little things are just too chewy!

Older people can even have their teeth knocked out! This is no joke!

"Gudan, is this all your own idea? How did the crack come about?" Grandpa Lin muttered curiously while eating the hot pine nuts.

Grandpa Lin has been in a good mood recently. This time, his family made several hundred dollars from digging Matsutake mushrooms, which made the villagers look up to their Lin family.

Then, as for Daya’s issue, the eldest daughter-in-law went to the Fang family and used force to resolve it. Now I feel that there is still some hope in life.

Now when I look at Guangdaner, I start to see things through a filter. I feel that all these things happened because Guangdaner found the Matsutake mushrooms, which turned things around for my family.

When he heard his grandfather asking, Guangdan said with a bright face: "Grandpa, this is our family's exclusive secret technique, no one else knows it!"

Goudaner reminded him in time: "Wumao knows."

Uh, how should I respond to this?

Silence, silence is Cambridge tonight——

"It's okay, it's okay, Grandpa. Is it delicious? If you like it, I'll get some more tomorrow." Guangdaner flattered immediately.

"Be careful." Grandpa Lin nodded slightly.

He knew that even if he didn't let this kid do it, he would still wander around the village causing trouble.

Grandpa's idea is really unfair to us Baldy. Ever since he took over this body and this identity, he has been working hard every day to make money and improve his life.

Try hard to bring the Lin family to a level of food and clothing. After all, achieving moderate prosperity is still a long way to go!
