Compared to Lin Jingnan's excitement, Xie Rui seemed much calmer.

He did it himself, and it's not like he hasn't done it in other places before, so he knows it well.

This time, the conditions are poor and the weather is not good. There should be very few finished products. Be pessimistic, maybe there will be no finished products.

Thinking of this, he calmed down.

Open the kiln calmly and take out the tiles inside.

Just as he thought, he took them all out, but only three pieces were finished, and they didn't look very good. Lin Jingnan's face turned pale. Seeing this, his mood fell to the bottom.

"Is this okay? How about we burn it once? Or come back when the weather clears up?" His voice lost some vitality.

"No, that's fine." Xie Rui didn't want to wait too long, as it would take time to make corresponding preparations.

"Help me call Brother Chen over here now." As the representative of the educated youth spot, Chen Donghua needs to tell him first.

Xie Rui waited for Chen Donghua with the finished product. When Chen Donghua was pulled over by Lin Jingnan, he didn't know what to do. He didn't say anything. He just said that there was something he wanted to see, so he pulled him over. A little helpless: "You slow down, is the matter so urgent?"

The anxious Lin Jingnan nodded fiercely: "It's very urgent, let's hurry up!"

This tile kiln was built in a deserted Wangliao. After Xie Rui repaired it, he built this experimental kiln next to it. The place is a bit remote and suitable for him.

Chen Donghua was dragged here helplessly. When he saw the thing in Xie Rui's hand and heard him say: "This is the tile I burned", the brilliance in his eyes made Xie Rui All stuck.

After staying in the village for so long, doesn't Chen Donghua want to go back

He thought, he dreamed of it, but he had no chance, so he could only get rid of those thoughts and work here in a down-to-earth manner.

Let yourself think on the bright side. Generally speaking, it is still possible here. As long as you work hard, you can fill your stomach and leave a little to supplement your family. It's much better, but if there is a chance to go back, his heart will be hot again. After staying in the countryside for 8 years, he is deeper than they thought, maybe the opportunity to return to the city has come.

Just as they thought, Zhang Chengye was very excited and expressed his strong support. However, he was not overwhelmed by joy. He was very cautious, fearing that the joy would be in vain.

He asked about the process, went to see Xie Rui's mold, kiln, and the rest of the failed products in his place, and after asking what he needed, he asked his son to help them and asked Xie Rui to burn it again. With finished products, he has more confidence to hold a village meeting and put this matter on the agenda.

With his son watching, it is definitely impossible to learn the core technology, but it can guarantee that what Xie Rui and the others said is true, instead of getting it back from other places first, and then pretending to lie to him, it will be a waste of time Manpower and material resources, but nothing.

Xie Rui is well aware of his thoughts, but he appreciates this approach. He knows himself, so it is impossible to deceive people, but if it is an unfamiliar stranger, it is always good to be cautious.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Su Hui went into the mountains with a basket to pick up mushrooms. This kind of weather is not suitable for chopping firewood. If she had the name of chopping firewood, people would think that there was something wrong with her. There is too much rain now. It's too heavy to carry, and it's not convenient to carry it. However, because of the rain, many treasures appeared in the forest. Whenever there is free time, many people will drag their families into the mountains. Just be careful not to go deep into the mountains. Go, it's pretty safe.

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo also came along, and Dawei was spinning around behind his buttocks.

Su Hui went to the bamboo forest first, dug up a few bamboo shoots, and planned to make stir-fried bamboo shoots, or use them to make soup.

While she was digging bamboo shoots, the two brothers were digging wild vegetables beside the bamboo forest. There was a stream beside the bamboo forest. Scanning around, I found a surprise.

There were two soft-shelled turtles that weighed one catty lying motionless by the stream, and one was easily overlooked if one was not paying attention.

Su Hui caught it, put the turtle at the bottom of the basket, and put the bamboo shoots on top, then went to find the two brothers, piled wild vegetables on top to cover the things below, and called them down the mountain.

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo didn't want to go back so soon, Zhang Baoguo looked at his empty backpack and said, "Mom, we're right here, don't go far, and wait for mom to come back."

My mother didn't allow them to go here before, and they only went to the low, discontinuous hillside to dig wild vegetables. This place is connected to the deep mountain behind, and it's easy to go deep.

Zhang Weiguo nodded beside him: "I'll continue digging wild vegetables, we won't go far, we'll just wait here for mom to come back."

The small hill they were on, because it was close to the bamboo forest, didn't have much to gain. There were only three of them, mother and son, but Zhao Xialan was there in front of them, and there were others further ahead. If they shouted loudly, someone would hear them.

Thinking of this, Su Hui nodded: "Don't be impulsive, don't count your words, pay attention, I'll be back soon."

She touched Dawei's head: "Please watch them."

"Wow!" Dawei yelled, sticking out his tongue.

Seeing the serious mother and Dawei, the two brothers looked embarrassed, making Dawei seem to really understand.

Su Hui walked home quickly with two soft-shelled turtles on her back.

Zhang Anguo was at home, and Zhang Dingguo didn't know where he went. Su Hui put the two soft-shelled turtles in a bucket, covered them to prevent them from running out, and told Zhang Anguo not to tease the two soft-shelled turtles. Be careful of biting people and go back later. When I went back, I saw the two brothers surrounded by what they were looking at.

"What are you looking at?"

"look."

Zhang Weiguo's face was full of fear and excitement. Just now he was not careful, he was too close to the snake and was almost bitten. Fortunately, Dawei was alert and yelled to remind him. He waved the stick in his hand reflexively. , the snake was thrown out by him, and then he was besieged by his elder brother with stones and Dawei, and was crushed to death.

This snake is Zhuyeqing, it is poisonous, and the poison is quite strong.

Su Hui frowned, her heart skipped a beat.

This snake is not big, it was almost smashed into a puddle of meat, but what if Dawei didn't find it in time

There are no big animals in this mountain, but these poisonous snakes really need to be more careful.

"Dawei did a good job." Su Hui patted Dawei's head, "Baoguo also did a good job, protecting my brother, but you must be more careful next time. You are not very old, you should pay more attention to safety, Wei Guo, you go running with your elder brother every day after you go back, don’t be lazy anymore, don’t think that I didn’t know you stopped halfway, and, I won’t allow it in the future, you are absolutely not allowed to enter the mountain, you know?”

The two brothers hummed obediently.

Summer is the time when snakes and insects are active. Su Hui checked the long-sleeved trousers they were wearing. They also had sachets made by her. There were things in the sachets to repel mosquitoes, but if they approached actively, and If it is too close, it is natural for them to attack. The power of this sachet should be adjusted again.

Thinking of this, Su Hui led them to walk quickly and caught up with Zhao Xialan in front.

She was holding a bag with a lot of mushrooms in it. They were all kinds of mushrooms. After returning home, they would be washed and dried in the sun, and they could be stored for a long time. During those three years, some people survived by relying on these dried mushrooms. most difficult moment.

Seeing Su Hui coming, Zhao Xialan waved her hand and asked, "Didn't you go dig bamboo shoots just now, where are the bamboo shoots?"

"At home, I just went back for a trip."

"So fast!" The few times I went into the mountain with her, she gained more than herself, and I don't know how she did it. She has such sharp eyesight and quick hands, she hasn't noticed what is there, she has already started.

Su Hui did not explain this beautiful misunderstanding.

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo didn't say anything either.

This kind of private harvest is not suitable for sharing.

After saying hello, Su Hui chose another direction and took the brothers to pick mushrooms. She walked in front and stirred the grass with a wooden stick. If there was something inside, she would run out, and Dawei would hurry up. Half a year old, she followed her feet, pricked up her ears, and listened to the movement around her.

Su Hui is teaching the two brothers to recognize plants.

They recognize most of the edible mushrooms, as well as the wild vegetables, but there are some they haven't picked before.

Some things, those who don't know them will only treat them as weeds, but they are actually very useful.

The first thing Su Hui taught was all kinds of plants that can repel mosquitoes.

Zhang Baoguo suddenly realized, no wonder there were no mosquitoes this year.

Zhao Xialan felt that she was lucky, this was already the second litter of wild eggs she found, she counted, there were three, four just now, adding up to seven, enough for their family to eat two meals, after going back Just make an egg and mushroom soup, they will definitely like it.

Putting the eggs away, she looked around subconsciously. There was no one, and the others were separated from her by a certain distance, so she probably didn't notice. She wanted to ask if they had any extra gains, but the words came out of her mouth , Swallowed it back again, making a fortune in a muffled voice, if she doesn't ask, others don't ask him either.

Everyone rejoices in the season of picking mushrooms, and they will never eat too much, but when it rains heavily, they cannot go into the mountains. It’s okay to say light rain, but it’s more dangerous to go into the mountains when it rains heavily. All kinds of accidents are easy to happen.

Su Hui and the others have harvested a lot, adding up, it is estimated that they can weigh over a hundred catties after drying, and they have been busy for several days.

Zhang Fenghua came, holding a large bowl covered with a leaf in his hand.

Zhang Gen caught a ricefield eel in the paddy field, which was very fat and weighed several kilograms. After burning it, he asked Li Manfen to give some to the second child's family.

It wasn't raining outside, but the weather was cloudy, and it seemed that the posture would continue.

Zhang Baoguo played with Dawei in the yard, teasing him with a bone.

"Woof, woof, woof!" Dawei yelled twice, and then he smelled Zhang Fenghua, who had also been there before, so he didn't yell again.

Zhang Fenghua was taken aback: "Baoguo, is Second Aunt home? Grandpa asked me to bring food over."

"In the kitchen." At this point, I'm cooking inside.

The two entered the room, and as soon as they entered the room, they could smell the aroma of food.

"It smells so good!" Zhang Fenghua couldn't help swallowing, the smell is even more fragrant than the roasted rice field eel made by grandma! what is it
