In summer, the days are long, and when the end of summer is approaching, Qi Bao can't sit still.No, after a light rain, Qi Bao also muttered about going into the mountain.

He would come here every summer, Grandma Zhou must have had a lot of persuasion, but in the end she couldn't hold back Qi Bao.

After tidying up, Qi Bao and Zhou Tao went into the mountain.Grandma Zhou originally wanted to follow, he always wanted to follow in the past, but he was getting older and his legs and feet were not very good since the beginning of this year, how could Qi Bao and Zhou Tao dare to let him enter the mountain.Don't fall again when the time comes, the two of them are not enough to take care of him alone.

Grandma Zhou also understood the matter, but she was worried about Qi Bao, so she had to tell Zhou Tao to tell him again and again, afraid of bumping into each other.

Zhou Tao agreed with "Alas", while winking at Qi Bao: I don't know, I thought you were born to Grandma!

Qi Bao also smiled and winked at him: What's wrong, Nanny is just with me, are you envious, jealous?

Zhou Tao snorted twice, disapproving.

Both of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes, covering them tightly from head to toe. There are many branches on the mountain, and it hurts to scratch them.In particular, there are some plants with thorns that cannot be named. The thorns on the stems are all with small barbs. Itchy and painful.

Qi Bao had suffered from this in previous years, this year Grandma Zhou let him wrap him like a rice dumpling, it was hotter than getting scratched.Besides, who knows what kind of weird insects and animals are hidden on the mountain. If they are poisonous, being bitten is no joke.

It rained the day before, and the mountain was slippery. To be honest, it was not a good time to go into the mountain.But it was also at this time that the mushrooms on the mountain had absorbed enough water vapor and popped their heads one after another.

The mountain was muddy, and cloth shoes were both expensive and slippery, so Aunt Zhou put thick cloth socks on both of their feet, and put on finely woven straw sandals, although they were still a bit rough, especially for Qi Bao. For his little chubby feet, he felt a little flustered no matter what, but there was no other way, so Grandma Zhou had to put another layer of cotton cloth on him, which was better.

I don’t know if it will cause prickly heat, or research on prickly heat powder or something, haha, have you returned to your baby age!

Aunt Zhou was about to pull Qi Bao to tell him, Zhou Tao patted his forehead helplessly, "Grandma, if you keep nagging, we will have to go out in the afternoon."

Grandma Zhou blushed, "Stinky boy, I still think we are nagging. Grandma didn't say anything, and I didn't bring you any water. That thing is heavy and takes up space. There are many fruits on our mountain, and we pick them when we are thirsty. Eat it!"

Zhou Tao had already stepped out of the door, and was turning around to urge Qi Bao to leave quickly. Hearing what Grandma Zhou said, he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Grandma, we all know that you take good care of your house at home, and we will bring you mushrooms at noon." Come back, let's go."

Without waiting for Grandma Zhou to reply, Zhou Tao hastily dragged Qi Bao away. "Grandma gets more verbose as she gets older."

Qi Bao laughed and said: "You are not allowed to despise Mammy, Mammy cares about us."

"How dare I, I don't dare to let Dad know this, he can beat me to death with a whip." This damn child, the shadow of being beaten when he was young is still there.

The Qi family was originally far away from the village, and the house was halfway up the mountain. It was a house with two entrances.Qi Bao lived in the inner house with Zhou's grandma, Zhou's father, Zhou Tao, and the cook lived in the outer house.

Qi Bao and the two went directly from the mountain halfway up the mountain and passed a neat apple orchard. Both of them had built roads to facilitate the car to get in and out.

This road is very easy to walk, but the villagers do not go up the mountain from this side, but climb up from the other side of the steep hillside.They all understand that plums in the melon field need to avoid suspicion. After all, they kindly let you enter the mountain, but in the end they lost the fruit. No one looks good.

Going up from Qijiazhuangzi, after a while, you can see a small courtyard.This yard is where Father Zhou lived when he was cutting branches. The yard is not big, and the adobe house is just a temporary residence and has not been repaired.

"Father." Zhou Tao hadn't seen Father Zhou for a long time, since he passed by here, he wanted to say hello anyway.

"Oh, here we come." Father Zhou was drying hazelnuts in the yard, and he saw most of Zhou Tao's head poking over the low wall.

Qi Bao also greeted, "Father, we are passing by to see you."

The two opened the door and entered the yard. Zhou Tao put down the back basket and took out two pairs of cloth shoes and a gown from it, which Grandma Zhou had put in before. "Father, Grandma told you to pay for your shoes, and asked us to bring you two more pairs. She also said that you haven't been back in the past few days, and told you to go back when you find time."

In fact, Grandma Zhou's original words were: Tell the old man that there are only a few steps to go, and he won't even go home, so let's go to Changshan in the future, and don't come back if he doesn't come back.

"My grandma misses you!" Zhou Tao teased, seeing that Father Zhou was flattered and silent.

"Stinky boy," Zhou Daddy is the master who dares to greet Zhou Tao with anything in his hand, "you dare to laugh at anyone!"

Then he turned back and asked Qi Bao, "Bao'er, when you encounter a place with dense grass, you must knock first, look at it, and don't be frightened. There are no poisonous snakes on our mountain, so we have to leave some, you know No?"

Qi Bao hurriedly nodded in response.

Father Zhou turned around and beat Zhou Tao again, telling Zhou Tao to take good care of Qi Bao before letting the two of them leave.

After leaving the small courtyard for a while, Zhou Tao dared to speak, "I am definitely raised by my stepfather and stepmother, why are they both kissing you?" He squeezed Qi Bao's chubby face, "Is it true? I didn't gain flesh, most likely, I see your body is full of pitiful flesh, it's so rare."

Qi Bao patted his hand away. Recently, this kid has become more and more fond of pinching his flesh. If they were not both boys, he would have thought that this guy had some plans for him.

"Don't touch your hands, be careful that you won't get married in the future!"

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with touching it twice. Besides, I'm a real man, and it's not me who wants to marry. Wait, brother, I can bring you a brother back in two years. "

Qi Bao despised him, "Isn't it the old man Xu's family at the foot of the mountain..."

Zhou Tao has nothing to admit, "What's the matter, see brother, I have a brother, are you envious?"

Qi Bao curled his lips, thinking of that classic Internet language: Go ahead, you youngsters!

He said that he didn't want to disturb the foundation, even if he lived his whole life, it was better than forcing himself to accept a man.

After passing the apple orchard, you have to walk a mountain road to another orchard. This section of the road is not particularly difficult to walk, but because it rained the day before, the road is muddy and slippery, which makes it more difficult to walk.Grandma Zhou's straw sandals played a great role at this time, especially when facing the muddy road.

Zhou Tao grabbed the little chubby Dun'er's hand and pulled him to a flat place before he took a deep breath.Although it is convenient to walk with straw sandals, it is really not easy to pull such a heavy person up the mountain.

"Master, aren't you always talking about losing weight? Why haven't you seen you lose weight for so long?"

Qi Baocai ignored his complaints. Once he got up the mountain, his eyesight was not enough. "Taozi, look over there, is there any mushroom?"

Zhou Tao took a closer look and found that there was indeed a small group of children hiding not far away. "It's Lei Wozi."

Cheerfully ran to pick a bunch, these things always appear in piles, and they are big, this small piece, picked up half the basket.This thing looks like steamed buns as a whole, and it will fall over with the slightest touch.Because it often jumps out of the soil after thunder in rainy days, it is named Leiwozi.

In fact, the villagers often call it a horse dung bag. The specific reason for the name is unknown, but Qi Bao felt that he lost his appetite when he heard the name, so he only asked Zhou Tao to call it Leiwozi.Although after such a regulation, in fact, every time he heard Lei Wozi, the first thing he thought of was the bag of horse manure.

There is no way, the inferiority of memory.

"Go home and ask grandma to fry sauce for us to eat." Unlike other mushrooms, Leiwozi can be dried and preserved until winter. The best way to eat it is to pick it up and eat it with fried sauce.

Because the forest here is close to the orchard, few villagers come here, only mushrooms and hazelnuts are left.Father Zhou often picks hazelnuts in this area, but he hasn't touched mushrooms much.

The sun has risen again, and the dew in the forest is gradually rising, and the place with dense grass is surrounded by mist from a distance.The two walked deep into the forest, slapping the grass in front of them with branches while walking, searching for mushrooms that might be hidden in every corner with concentrated expressions, and didn't even find the trouser legs pierced by dew.

After about half a stick of incense, Qi Bao and the others picked up a lot of sticky mushrooms.This thing doesn't need to drill into the grass and undergrowth, it only grows on flat grass.Mucus is secreted from the umbrella surface, which sticks to the nearby leaves and grass as a camouflage, and you can't find it if you don't look carefully. This is also the wisdom of plants.

The taste of this kind of mushroom is still good, but it is not easy to clean up. You need to tear off the mask on the umbrella surface to expose the white meat inside before you can fry it with sauce or stew.

The advantage of this thing is that it reproduces quickly and grows a lot, and it can grow until the end of summer.

"The sticky dumplings are all put in my basket, and they will be destroyed, and it will be even more difficult to deal with other mushrooms." Zhou Tao explained, and checked the sticky mushrooms in the small basket that Qi Bao was carrying into his own. In the big back basket.

"What about Lei Wozi?" Lei Wozi was also in Zhou Tao's basket.

"It's okay, I took the leaves and covered them, and the sticky mushrooms are all on top of the leaves."

Qi Bao raised his head and looked, and sure enough, the edges of the leaves were exposed. "Oh, it's quite a lot. No Shen, let me recite Shen's words."

Zhou Tao glanced at the fat on his body, "You have a small body, but you need meat, how can you carry it on your back?"

Qi Bao snorted, so he didn't care about the brute force.

After entering the big forest, the two separated.Some people have already walked through the woods, and the villagers really use the sickle and sticks they hold in their hands while walking to cut down the weeds and put them in a pile, or suppress them and trample them firmly.It is not only convenient for myself to walk when I go back, but also for people who come later.

There were few weeds in the woods, but they were trampled by the villagers who passed by earlier, and they were naked.Zhou Tao didn't stick to Qi Bao either. Anyway, there were no big beasts in the woods. Snakes and the like might have already been scared away. Besides, they weren't too far away from him, so he could run wherever he wanted.
