When I got home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Su Xiaoxue got home, she started to work. She first went to the fields to pull out the weeds in the ground, then cut grass for the pigs and collected firewood.
We have two pigs at home, and they are now fat.
Although Father Su was not in good health, he put away his clothes, scooped water into the big pot, and started to boil water when it was getting dark.
When going to the field, Su Xiaoxue was carrying a backpack.
Su's mother went with her. They talked while digging weeds. They discussed going to the provincial capital for medical treatment in the evening and told him about it first to check in with him.
Mr. Su is a stubborn person. He never wants to owe anyone anything, and he certainly doesn't want to trade his daughter's happiness for anything. So the mother and daughter have to think of an excuse first to prevent him from thinking too much.
"Xue, you want to marry Qin Chi, isn't it... because of this?" When the mother and daughter were sitting on the edge of the field, Su's mother couldn't help but ask.
Su Xiaoxue knew her mother would ask this, so she smiled and said, "Mom, am I stupid? It's not like Qin Chi can cure Dad's illness. I chose him because he's good enough. It just so happens that his family is well off, and ours isn't. I wanted to ask him for help and send Dad to see a doctor first. The sooner the disease is cured, the better. You've seen it, although Qin Chi has several children, he's much better than many others."
Su's mother thought about it and said, "That's right, this Ah Chi is very polite and treats people well."
"Ah."
She stood up and brushed the dirt off the corners of her clothes. "Okay, I'm going to go to the mountains to cut some pig grass and see if I can pick some mushrooms."
"Ah."
-
Carrying a backpack and a sickle, Su Xiaoxue headed towards the mountains.
Since her rebirth, she has rarely gone up the mountain and only wandered around nearby.
There are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains here, and they taste good.
However, many people nowadays don’t know. They only know one or two things that are edible, and they dare not eat those that they don’t know.
Su Xiaoxue had memories of her past life and knew that there were some very delicious mushrooms that the villagers did not dare to pick in her previous life.
She thought that when she picked up enough, she could dry them and take them to the county town, where she could sell them for money.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxue felt full of energy.
When she arrived in the mountains, she first cut some grass for the pigs, and then began to drag the backpack and pick up grass along the way.
At this time, there are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains. Within two or three days, they can grow into a very large one. If they are not discovered in time, they will grow big quickly and then become old.
Because most people didn't recognize those mushrooms, Su Xiaoxue had no pressure picking them. After a while, her backpack was half full.
"Xiaoxue?" A voice came from behind.
Su Xiaoxue turned around and saw Xiaofang also coming over with a backpack on her back.
"Xiaofang, are you here to cut grass for the pigs too?"
Xiaofang nodded. "There's not much left at home. I just finished my work and came to cut some. It's quick anyway."
"Ah."
As the two were talking, they saw Su Lingling walking towards them not far away. She also brought a bamboo basket and was obviously here to cut grass for the pigs.
Although her uncle's family said they were very good to her as a daughter, she still did much more than her other two.
Just like cutting grass for pigs now, Su Lingling's two brothers are obviously very idle and her sister-in-law doesn't do much, but they still leave these things to Su Lingling.
In her previous life, Su Lingling wanted to marry Qin Chi. On the one hand, it was because she wanted to get rid of the days dominated by her family and live a good life.
Unfortunately, she became too confident and forgot her original intention.
Su Lingling came directly to them, looked at the mushrooms in Su Xiaoxue's backpack, and asked curiously: "What did you pick up?"
Xiaofang also looked when she heard the sound, and saw Su Xiaoxue's bamboo basket filled with many mushrooms.
"Xiaoxue, why did you pick up so many inedible mushrooms?" Xiaofang wondered, "What are you going to do if they are inedible?"
Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "It's okay. I heard it's edible, so I want to try it."
Xiaofang looked at her in surprise, "What if you can't eat it, and something happens if you eat it?"
"No, we just eat less. I heard it's edible."
There are a lot of mushrooms here. In the past, people, when they had nothing to eat or drink, would go to the mountains to pick up anything edible. However, I heard that someone died from eating mushrooms in the early years, so later many people dared not eat them indiscriminately, and only dared to pick common ones like chicken mushrooms and black fungus.
Even if the wood ear grows on a poisonous tree trunk, it will not be picked for fear that it may be poisonous.
Anyway, people are not as poor as before, and most people can still have enough to eat, so they naturally won’t choose mushrooms that may endanger their lives.
But how could they know that only people in their village dare not eat mushrooms indiscriminately, but outside, many kinds of mushrooms are highly praised and loved.
She wouldn't have known this if she hadn't gone to other places and seen it later.
Xiaofang wanted to persuade her, but Su Lingling said, "Why do you care about her? It's her business if she gets sick from eating. Why do you care so much?"
Xiaofang looked up at Su Lingling and said in annoyance, "I'm talking to Xiaoxue, not you. Why are you butting in?"
Su Lingling was naturally not a person with a good temper. When Xiaofang retorted, she directly scolded: "I saw that your kindness was taken for granted, so I advised you, but you are so good. Humph, I don't want to care about you. It's better to eat to death."
After Su Lingling finished speaking, she left angrily.
Xiaofang continued to care about Su Xiaoxue, and Su Xiaoxue did not hide it from her friend and told her that these mushrooms were edible.
"Didn't I go out these past two days? I saw someone selling it. He said it was delicious, but also very expensive."
Although their village is not far from the county town, most people have never been to the county town.
Like Su Xiaoxue, she had never been to the county town before the blind date. The first time she went to the county town was to follow her cousin on a blind date.
Xiaofang is the same. She has never been outside and the farthest place she has probably been is town.
Xiaofang was suspicious, "Is that so?"
She picked up a red-capped mushroom, which looked bright and colorful. "Can this be eaten?"
"Yes, I can."
"Don't they say that brightly colored ones can't be eaten?"
Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Although that's what I said, it doesn't represent everything. This is called red mushroom, and it's delicious. If you don't believe me, take some home and try it. It's expensive when sold outside."
Xiaofang quickly shook her head, "Forget it, forget it, I don't dare."
She knew that Su Xiaoxue would not lie to her, but most people would not try it casually because of their fear of the unknown.
Then, she picked up another plump yellow-orange mushroom and said, "What about this one? It looks so big. Can it be eaten?"
"Well, this is porcini, it's delicious."
Xiaofang curled her lips in disbelief, "Although it does look like it's edible, it would be bad if it turns out not to be edible."
"They're really edible." Su Xiaoxue said with a smile, "If you're afraid, just help me pick them. I'll eat some myself and sell the rest in the county town."
When Xiaofang heard this, she immediately agreed, "Okay."
Su Xiaoxue replied to her, "When you make money, don't be jealous of me!"
Xiaofang laughed, "I can't, but your sister might."
She meant something.
Su Xiaoxue looked in the direction where Su Lingling left and fell into deep thought.
After all, they are cousins. She still hopes that Su Lingling, after living two lives, can see things more clearly and stop fighting and competing. As long as she is doing well, her life will not be bad.
