Through the wild age

They spent the whole summer in the fragrance of wine, and the summer was almost over in a blink of an eye.The high temperature has just faded, and the harvest season has not yet arrived. Now this time is the most leisurely and comfortable time of the year.

Chen Qiao remembered that in the spring, where they found ginger, there seemed to be a lot of fruit trees growing on that mountain. Now in this season, many fruits are about to mature slowly.

Picking a good sunny day, Chen Qiao walked over the mountains and ridges again. This time they went as a family of four. Anyway, Baya had nothing to do recently, so he generously sacrificed his back to meet his needs. The youngest son's wish about going up the mountain.

If it was before, Chen Qiao would still prefer rainy days. The sunny days in summer are always too dry, the sun is so strong that people's faces are oily and sweaty, which is very uncomfortable.But now, when it rains, he can try not to go out as much as possible.Because there is no umbrella, let alone a car or something.Although it is uncomfortable on a sunny day, it is always a lot more convenient to go out.

This time they went on the right path. There are many wild fruits on the mountain, some of which are very sweet.They just picked a few to quench their thirst. Anyway, they still have to fight here when they come back, so let’s talk about it then.

It was the first time for Macy to go up the mountain. He looked here and there along the way, and felt that everything was new. He clamored to climb off Baya’s back and run by himself, but the two parents disagreed. The summer has not really passed yet. , I don't know what will be in the grass.

When they got to the area with less weeds, Mai Xi wanted to get down and walk on his own, but they couldn't stand his trouble, so the two parents compromised.

But after walking for a while, he sadly returned to his father's back.

"Why did you go back again? Didn't you mean to leave by yourself?" Chen Qiao felt strange.

"I can't see it."

"What?"

"You can't see anything standing on the ground." Mai Xi said dejectedly.

The reason is simple—he is too short, and there are many vegetation on the mountain, but when he stands on the ground, his vision becomes very narrow, so he can't see anything.

"Hahaha..." Dila laughed unkindly, and Maixi turned her head to ignore him.

Chen Qiao and Baya couldn't help but find it funny too, their youngest son is such a real treasure.

Dila was also familiar with the way, leading the way, Baya walked in the middle with Maixi on his back, and Chen Qiao was behind.

"Look, it's that piece of ginger."

"Here we are, let's see what's nearby." The few of them climbed the nearest hill, standing high and looking far away.

"Oh, look what is that? Haha, it can't be corn, right?" Chen Qiao muttered something that the others couldn't understand, and then rushed towards the corn field recklessly, even sticking the stick. Throw it aside and don't want it.Baya followed behind and sweated for him, but didn't say anything. He somewhat understood Chen Qiao's character.Whoever dares to pour cold water on him when he is excited will definitely be very unlucky.

Chen Qiao broke off a corn cob and gnawed it with her mouth.Well, the granules are still full, although it looks a little malnourished, take good care of it in the future, and it will get better.

"Is this edible?" Eddie followed his lead and gnawed a piece of corn. This kind of corn is not suitable for eating raw, and it definitely won't be very delicious in the mouth, so he was a little disappointed. I don't know if Chen Qiao is more excited. What.

"This thing is not eaten like this. I'll get it for you when I get home. It's a good thing, haha."

Chen Qiao is in a good mood today, corn, finally there is corn to eat... He wants to eat boiled corn, roasted corn, and if he can't finish it, he will dry it and grind it into corn flour, oh oh, and then he will eat corn cakes, haha... Life is so good!

This large piece of corn, as far as their family is concerned, must be endless. Chen Qiao doesn't want to tell other people in the tribe for the time being, because the corn can only be planted after it is fully mature.

In order to avoid the corn being picked before it is fully ripe, Chen Qiao decided to be selfish. Next year, he will grow some corn and share it with everyone.

It's a little far away from their village. Seeing that the sun has risen to the top of their heads, they have to hurry up and go back after picking enough corn.

On the way back, because everyone was carrying things on their backs, Mai Xi often got down and walked for a while. That's it, it was still very hard for a four-year-old child.Now he finally believed his father's words that he was too young to go up the mountain, and he decided to listen to his father's words in the future. Going up the mountain was really exhausting.

When they returned home with tired steps, the sun had already set. The four of them went to the stream to take a bath, and then went home to prepare dinner.

Chen Qiao still made the dinner. He set up a clay pot to cook a pot of mushroom and egg soup, then washed a few corns, skewered them with wooden sticks, and roasted them in front of the fire, spreading some honey on them while roasting.You know, in their lives, honey is definitely a good thing.

When the aroma of corn wafted through the air and slowly filled the entire yard, Chen Qiao first picked up the first roasted corn and handed it to his drooling youngest son, Mai Xi, and the second one to him who wanted to drool but had to hold back The eldest son Dila, the third handed to the patriarch Baya who looked not drooling, as always, and the last one was his own.

The corn in this season is still very tender, the tender corn kernels are roasted and soft, accompanied by the sweetness of honey, it is really... so delicious!

Macy and Dilla let go of their stomachs and ate to their heart's content. Their mouths were a little dry, so they drank a bowl of egg soup.Chen Qiao and Baya were a bit more pitiful, except for the first one that was smeared with honey, the rest were all sprinkled with salt and dismissed.That's it, Chen Qiao ate a bunch of roasted corn by himself.

Baya also likes to eat corn. At the beginning, he really doubted whether this food would be delicious, but it turned out that in the field of food, he only needs to trust Chen Qiao.Well, there are still a lot in the field over there. Before winter comes, let’s pick them all and go home.

After eating and drinking enough, the family can go to sleep in the house again. Their house is now more and more comfortable. There are beds, tables and stools, and everything they should have. Zhang rattan mat.The two children had been tired all day, and now they fell into a deep sleep as soon as they got into bed.

A while ago, when there was nothing to do, Chen Qiao was making winter bedding. He and Baya had to make a bed, and Dilla and Macy’s bed had to be thicker. Now that the cornfields are found, there is no time to do these. , Let’s make do with last year’s before winter comes.

But what Chen Qiao can't imagine now is that the second half of this year will be much busier than he imagined.
