After breakfast, Zhang Baoguo and Su Hui went to school. Zhang Weiguo was told not to go out to play. He stayed at home with his younger brother to watch the house. Zhang Anguo was quiet and nestled in the corner of the yard. He could play for half a day watching a nest of ants. Zhang Weiguo took Zhang Dingguo to play. pebbles.

These round stones were collected with great difficulty on the mountain.

After returning from class, Su Hui looked at the three children in the family with satisfaction. She asked Su Qianming to help find a watchdog, but she hadn't found it yet. She raised it later, and there was no need to worry so much if there were only children at home.

For lunch, Su Hui made the little bit of meat left over when she checked in, and stuffed a pot of multigrain rice, oil, salt and soy sauce, adding what needed to be added, but the rice was not ready yet, and the four children had already gathered around, eager to wait.

Zhang Dingguo's small face seemed to be glowing: "Mom, can we all eat this kind of food in the future? It's great to move out!"

Zhang Weiguo was also swallowing his saliva, a lot of rice!

Zhang Anguo: "Mom, it smells so good..."

Zhang Baoguo: "..." He sniffed and looked at the bamboo basket in the corner.

The bamboo basket was full of sweet potatoes, and the rice was placed in the cabinet. He opened the cabinet, looked at it, and made a calculation in his heart. It should be okay, right

After this period of adaptation, Su Hui has basically mastered all the abilities of the original body. In terms of cooking, there is no need to overcook or overcook. She is willing to cut ingredients. Compared with before, the improvement of cooking skills is naked visible.

After a beautiful meal, the youngest twins, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo, have the habit of taking a nap. Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo don’t take a nap. Every now and then, I have to bring something back, or some dead branches, or maybe a handful of wild vegetables.

Su Hui didn't take a nap either. She was so energetic now that she didn't need a lunch break to recharge her energy. She put on her hat, put on her clothes, and went up the mountain with a hatchet in her hand and a bamboo basket on her back.

This uphill is not to go to the small dirt slope at the back, there is basically no firewood there, and children will go there.

One of the purposes of her going into the mountain is to collect some firewood, and the other is to see if there are any herbs, or game. This house belongs to her own family. Could it be that others are helping her to do it while she is leisurely doing other things

How do other people see her.

Winter is a good time to gather firewood and cut grass, because the moisture content is the lowest at this time, and it will not take long to return to the water.

And because of the regulations, they can't chop firewood, they can only trim the branches on the trees, and the trees at the entrance are basically pruned clean, so they can only walk into the mountain.

There are very few snakes and insects in this season, so you won't be accidentally injured even if you cut grass. Not long after entering the mountain, you can see a few figures in the distance when you return quickly.

Su Hui quickened her pace and walked faster and faster.

For more than a month, I have persisted in breathing. Compared with the original, the change has been great. The original body is also used to rough work. It is no problem to pick up a hundred catties. Now, it is easy to relax two hundred catties. This is not the end , After a long time, it is impossible to talk about a successful cultivation base, and infinite strength is right in front of you.

After walking for half an hour, Su Hui didn't see anyone else, so she stopped.

Where there are fewer people, there is more to be gained.

There must be more things in the deeper place, but at present it is still dangerous for her, not suitable.

When going down the mountain, besides firewood, there were some plants on Su Hui's back basket that others thought were the roots of weeds, and a pheasant weighing one catty was pressed in the middle. When it came out, Su Hui threw the stone in his hand, and it hit the pheasant's foot. The foot was injured and he couldn't walk, so he flopped a few times, but she finally caught it.

This pheasant chicken is a little less, the stew should be very delicious, it would be better to add some dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms or something.

— Su Hui, who was thinking about how to improve her food every day, thought so.

When she went back, Su Zhong came and took a hoe to help her level the private land. It was a wasteland before, but now it has been roughly tidied up, but there are still many stones and roots.

Seeing her, Su Zhong wiped his sweat: "Sister, you are back, mom is inside, and there are a few aunts from your village."

The original father, Su Qianming, was a barefoot doctor in the next village, and his mother, Tian Siyi, was an ordinary peasant woman who had always been in poor health. She suffered a serious crime when she gave birth to twins.

Yuanshen also has an older brother, Su Zhong, who married his sister-in-law Chang Xiaohe and gave birth to two sons.

Today, Tian Siyi and Su Zhong came here.

Tian Siyi was worried about her daughter, and thought that her daughter had just moved, and there was nothing at home, so she exchanged some bamboo shoots pickled by others.

Su Hui put the firewood on the pile, went into the house and saw Tian Siyi, her original mother, and three sister-in-laws from the same village.

They are here to visit.

There are now five brick and tile houses in the village, originally there were only four.

One is the family of the captain. Needless to say, the other is Zhang Bai’s family. His family has a son who has entered the city. He is an honorable worker. Going to be a soldier, the last one is the Chen family with a different surname. There are many sons in his family, and six of them are adults. Brick and tile houses are not surprising, and now, there is a new brick and tile house.

They came in to look at the house. The floor was made of new bricks and the walls were made of old bricks, but because they were neatly arranged, it didn't look chaotic, but it had a different kind of beauty.

The place is big enough, with four rooms. Now that their children are still young, they can't live in so many rooms, so two rooms are left empty.

This made many people look eagerly. Nowadays, every household has a lot of people sleeping together in one room. It is very common for Su Hui and his family to have a family of five. Some of them have no place, and there are also two couples. Those who live in the same room are separated by a curtain. When doing business at night, the other couple will go out for a walk. When they go back, the couple who were at home will go out for a walk. This is funny to say, but it is The helplessness of reality.

Looking at this empty, bright and clean brick and tile house now, can you not be jealous

It's just that if you want to say sour words, you can't say it.

This is a subsidy for martyrs who died for the country. Needless to say, the status of soldiers at this time, everyone is proud of having soldiers in their families.

Even if you are jealous, you can't say anything slanderous, otherwise the nature will be serious.

So when Su Hui came back, she saw them sitting together weaving straw sandals in harmony, with the four children beside them.

"Girl, you are back."

Zhang Anguo ran up to her slowly: "Mom, are you thirsty? I'll pour you some water."

This ushered in praise: "This child is really good."

"Caring, although I didn't give birth to a daughter as a little padded jacket, it's almost the same."

After receiving the praise, Zhang Anguo's small face was a little shy, but his eyes looked at Su Hui with sparkling eyes, hoping to get his mother's reward.

Su Hui smiled and stroked his soft hair: "It's very caring."

She turned to look at Zhang Weiguo and Zhang Dingguo: "The other children are more naughty, but they are also very sensible."

At this time, the sun was still in the middle of the mountain. Although there was no clock to know the exact time, it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mom, I still have firewood on the mountain and haven't brought it back. I'll go and bring it back first." Su Hui said after drinking.

Tian Siyi hurriedly stood up: "Call your brother to go together, go early and return early."

As soon as he said that, Su Zhong immediately put down his hoe and set off together with a pole and rope.

Su Hui had already packed up before, there were more people, and some more grass came back. After coming back and forth, the sun only had a tail, and the sky darkened, and the aunts who had gathered together at home all went home to cook. Yes, their food is also on the pot.

Seeing them coming back, Tian Siyi came out of the kitchen: "You guys are back, I've almost finished the meal, come and see the meeting, your brother and I have also gone home."

Su Huiliu said, "Mom, you and brother stay here for dinner, and then go back after eating."

Tian Siyi waved her hand: "Then it will be dark, and the road will be difficult to travel." At this time, food is precious, and no one will go to other people's houses to buy food. She loves her daughter, and she doesn't want to eat the food of her daughter and grandchildren, even though she said that the food should be distributed quickly. Yes, but only the daughter earns full work points, and the other children can't count on it, how much food can be distributed.

Su Zhong also meant the same thing: "Sister, your sister-in-law must have prepared meals for us. There are still some things that haven't been prepared here. I'll come back tomorrow."

"I put the pickled bamboo shoots on your cabinet, remember to put them away." Tian Siyi remembered, and touched her four grandchildren one by one: "Grandma has gone back, and I will come to see you some other day."

"Grandma, I will miss you." Zhang Weiguo has the sweetest mouth. Every time grandma comes, there will be delicious food for them at home. Just like this time, he brought a bagful of fried soybeans for them. He likes it. Grandma, much better than grandma, grandma will only let them give things to others.

Su Hui went to take out the pheasant that was in the back basket before, and stuffed it into Su Zhong's hand: "Take it back, my mother was ill for so long before, so I gave her the stew."

Tian Siyi wanted to refuse, but Su Wei turned coldly: "Mom, if you don't accept me, you don't recognize me as a daughter. Xiaojing doesn't even want anything for you."

Having said that, Tian Siyi could only swallow the words in her mouth, looked at her daughter, her eyes were slightly red: "Okay, okay, can't Mom accept it, why don't we stop here..."

Watching them leave quickly, taking advantage of their figures returning before dark, Su Hui went back to the kitchen, looked at a pot of sweet potato and wild vegetable soup, and there was no meaty smell in the pot: "..."

Go for a walk on the mountain tomorrow!
