Zhang Xiaoliu happily followed up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but the reality was a bit shocking.His ability to pick mushrooms was probably automatically hidden, and he couldn't find mushrooms at all, and the ones he saw occasionally were picked by others.In the end, I can only act together with Zhao Zhengze, and when he finds mushrooms, he rushes to pick them.

At first, he was worried about whether he would pick poisonous mushrooms, but after reading it, he realized that his worries were all for nothing.There is only one kind of mushroom that everyone picks here now. The white umbrella leaf has a slightly gray stipe, and it is generally the size of an adult's palm. It is very similar to the oyster mushroom he has eaten in modern times, but it is not the same kind.No wonder every family only releases their children, there is no mistake in picking them, and there is no fear when there are many people on the mountain.

They didn't have a basket at home, so they had to pick out two dustpans.When it was almost ready, Zhang Xiaoliu saw that it weighed at least 50 kilograms, so he didn't pick any more.

Back at the door of the house, Zhao Zhengze put down his burden and turned the two dustpans upside down, and dumped all the mushrooms on the ground, which startled Zhang Xiaoliu.

"what are you doing?"

"Pour it out, pick them all up!" Zhao Zhengze said, not quite understanding his accusing eyes.

Wheat let out the chickens and watched them looking for food. At this time, he quickly came over to greet them, squatted down and picked up the mushrooms neatly one by one, cleaned up the grass clippings on the mushrooms, discolored or rotten, and threw them away. Drop it, and then put it in the dustpan again.

Only then did Zhang Xiaoliu realize that they were probably used to this way of tidying up.

"I forgot to pick again first, sorry." He scratched his head and said to Zhao Zhengze.In the past, they just picked the mushrooms to the river or the well and rinsed them with water. They were a little anxious when they saw him fall to the ground.

Zhao Zhengze smiled at him and packed up.

It didn't take long for the two of them to pick out the pile of mushrooms, Zhang Xiaoliu thought about it and went into the kitchen to cook porridge.This time he only used two-thirds of the usual rice, and used mushrooms to make up the rest.

Although there are a lot of mushrooms, I can't help but put them.After drinking mushroom porridge in the morning and eating fried mushrooms at noon, Zhang Xiaoliu inadvertently found that the mushrooms became a little greasy and their color changed in the afternoon.

"Mushrooms have not been stored for a long time, so they have to be thrown away the next morning." Zhao Zhengze also noticed his gaze and explained.

"It's a pity." The family is short of food, so it's really distressing that so many mushrooms have to be thrown away in vain.Zhang Xiaoliu thought for a while, then directed Zhao Zhengze to wash the mushrooms again, boiled a pot of water by himself, added a tablespoon of salt, boiled the mushrooms, drained the water, and spread them out under the ventilated roof.

"I've seen someone who can preserve it for a long time before. Brother Liu can do it too. It's amazing." Zhao Zhengze followed him all the way, admiring him very much.

"I don't know if I can let it go, I only heard it from others." Zhang Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed by his praise, and changed the subject to ask him: "I haven't been to the field for so long to see how the seedlings are growing. How is it?"

"It's pretty good, not worse than other people's. And the soybeans you planted are very tall."

There is nothing more gratifying than the harvest that the crops in the field may bring. Zhang Xiaoliu was smiling all day long, especially when he saw new green shoots growing from the planted saplings, he finally felt a sense of security in his heart. The feeling of seeing the moon when the clouds bloom.In another year at most, he will definitely make a huge change in the life of the family!

After the rain this time, there are more things to do.Beans, eggplant, and bitter gourd are the three treasures of the summer table. If you plant them before the rain, you may worry about soaking the seeds or seedlings, so you must hurry up at this time.There are other melons whose names cannot be named, anyway, Zhang Xiaoliu planted them after Dashun pointed them out.Fortunately, their vegetable garden is big enough, and the melons are planted around the fence to save the work of building a shelf later, and finally they can imitate the vegetables that other families have.

Although there is no harvest yet, their life is gradually getting better.The little chickens add excitement to the front of the house. The first greens planted in the vegetable field are already on the dining table, and the leeks are also growing at an astonishing speed after the rain.After making egg syrup every three days, everyone's complexion has become more and more rosy.

There was nothing to do at home, so Zhang Xiaoliu asked Maimai to take Xiaosong out to play with the children in the village.In the past, Mai Mai was either helping his elder brother at home or carrying his younger brother on his back. He was also weak and had little time to go out to play, and his temperament was very calm.Zhang Xiaoliu loves his sensible and strong appearance so much, now he is reluctant to keep him locked in the house.

He himself has no interest in playing with children of this age, and Zhao Zhengze is too old to be idle, and the two really support the family like adults.Zhang Xiaoliu began to learn how to cut shoe soles and make clothes, while Zhao Zhengze went up to the mountains almost every day to cut thorny weeds or pick up some branches and firewood for back home.Speaking of it, both of them have the side of planning for a rainy day, as long as they need to save things, they will never wait until they are in trouble before doing it.

If you don’t rush to plant in spring and harvest in autumn, this kind of rural life can occasionally remind Zhang Xiaoliu of the word “leisurely”, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, which once sounded incredible. adapted.He hoped that such a comfortable day could last for a few more days, but unfortunately, the sky never met people's wishes.

During the two days when they were busy planting melons and beans, Zhao Boma also jumped up and down for his son's marriage.This year, there are quite a few people in Xiaba Village who are in their [-]th or [-]th years of age and are eligible for marriage, but there are only a few young people in Togo, and the only few who are slightly passable in various conditions have already engaged in marriage.In this way, if Uncle Zhao wanted to find someone to marry his boy, he had to go to another village.

If it is said that it is not necessarily better to get married in the same village, the biggest advantage is that they know each other well, whether it is family background, appearance or character, they can know it well before getting married.If you find in-laws in other villages, you have to spend some time inquiring about them.It is said that the matchmaker can naturally tell the two parties to the sky, but people may not believe it all.Most of the time, trustworthy close relatives will be asked to go around the village under the guise of the name and inquire about the situation.

It is said that the matchmaker took over the job of the Zhao family years ago, but due to various conditions, there are not many suitable candidates.Uncle Zhao picked and picked, and chose a family surnamed Gao in Luojing Village.The elder brother of that family had just turned 15 years old and was almost two years younger than Zhao Zhengguang. Hearing what the matchmaker said was interesting.After the matchmaker passed on the word several times, it was finally decided this year, just waiting for the next six rites and the birthday horoscope.

Uncle Zhao was in a hurry to let the other party in, and he could still help with farm work in autumn.If you only enter the door at the end of the year, you just wait for the New Year, so the matchmaker is a little anxious.

The other party's father hesitated a little after being chased away like this, and repeatedly pushed back the time to come to see each other several times.At the end of the day, I couldn't match the eloquence of the matchmaker, so I finally brought my brother's uncle's family here.

It is also very particular about what to look at.One is to look at the appearance ability of the target of marriage, the other is to look at the front and back of the house, and the third is to look at the relatives of the elders and the same generation.Dad can't take care of my brother after he comes over, so of course he has to find a good family.No matter how much the dowry gift is, you can know the situation at home by looking at the house.If there are many elders in the family, it is unavoidable to be disciplined more. If there are many brothers in the same generation, one must consider how much money will be given in the future and fear that they will not get along well.

The Gao family watched it again, and they were generally satisfied.Although they live in an old house, the head of the family also hinted that they will build a new house after they get married and have a baby.It's just that the family's population is thinner, and the relatives who come to accompany me are all separated by generations.

When they go back, they will inquire carefully, and it turns out that the Zhao family is still raising a kid for their deceased brother!This kid only has an acre of land, neither a house nor savings, so he has Zhao Datian, an uncle who is the closest blood. Will he have to work hard to build a house and marry a brother in the future?Said that the relative is the eldest son, won't he have to bear this burden in the future?

At this time, marrying a brother and building a house is a major event in life. Many parents earn a dowry money after working hard all their lives. It is great to be able to build a new house.If it was that easy, how could someone not be called a brother because of their poor family?At that time, this burden will not be light.

The Gao family hesitated when they heard it. I heard that the boy was sent to someone else's house two months ago. Could it be that the Zhao family did it to deceive them?After mumbling like this, it dragged on for a few more days.Quietly entrusted someone to inquire about it, and for some reason it got to Uncle Zhao's ears.
