Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 56, Reciprocity

Xiao Qing was thinking roughly, what to plant in those lands, what to plant in these lands, if such a good piece of land can be reclaimed on the mountain, if terraced fields can be developed, then her family will have more land, which can be planted There is also more food. She looked up at the terrain on the mountain. The road she came from was still relatively sloped, and it was too steep here.

When she looked away, Xiao Qing seemed to sense something was wrong in the woods. Was there a pair of eyes staring at her just now?When she looked up at the woods again, those eyes disappeared.

Xiao Qing was taken aback again, those eyes seemed to be human eyes, but they were weird, what were they?

Feeling that it was not safe in this deep mountain, Xiao Qing thought it was better to leave quickly, but his feet became faster.

But she can be sure of one thing, those eyes are not the strong man, there is no need for the strong man to hide, the deep mountains are indeed dangerous everywhere, this thing can quietly take away the food, when she is picking mushrooms, but I looked back a few times, but there was no sign of that thing.

The more Xiao Qing thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she left, left.

Without stopping for a moment, she hurried back to the place where she picked mushrooms.

When she came to Xiao Qing, she was startled by the two bamboo baskets in front of her. Two bloody pheasants were lying in her bamboo basket, and they were chickens with a broken neck. Flow the chestnuts into the bamboo basket.

Xiao Qing is dumbfounded now, is this...?
How rare are pheasants? The villagers on the border of Yaoshan can't find a single live animal in the mountains and plains. Two of them suddenly appeared here?
Is it for her?

She walked in and saw that these two were fat and big. Even if she searched all over the mountain, she might not be able to find them. She looked around, who would be kind enough to give her pheasants in this deep mountain, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find them. There is no shadow, quiet and silent.

Xiao Qing shouted at Kong Shan: "No matter what you are, thank you!"

After shouting, Xiao Qing unexpectedly found that his voice was trembling, and he knew how to reciprocate courtesy. What kind of animal is it?
She quickly carried the bamboo basket with chestnuts on her back and the bamboo basket with mushrooms in her arms, and left the deep mountain in a hurry.

She walked all the way and turned her head all the way, but she didn't see anything following her. When she came to the dogwood fruit tree, she turned her head and looked at the bottom of the deep mountain. The deep mountain was still lush and there was no sound at all.

Regarding this incident, although the other party didn't hurt her, he still didn't know what the other party was, which made people feel weird. Since the food could buy off this unknown beast, it also gave her the confidence to continue.

She saw that it was getting late, and when she got home she would cut mushrooms and send them to Laibin Restaurant, and when she came next time, she would bring some more food, these two pheasants are not cheap.

Xiao Qing went down the mountain.

Little did they know, behind her, there were several pairs of eyes staring at the direction in which she was going. Seeing her descending the mountain safely, several black shadows left.

After Xiao Qing went down the mountain, she didn't have time to rest all the way, the sun rose higher and higher, she didn't know how long it was.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Mrs. Zhou waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.

"Mother, mother!" Zhou started to cry from a long distance away, and ran towards her quickly.

Xiao Qing didn't expect her to be waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. This child is honest and thoughtful. It is the blessing of the original owner's eight lifetimes to have this daughter-in-law to serve her.

"Here, Xiao Chengniang, don't run, there are rocks on the ground, be careful to fall!"

Looking at the stones on the ground, Mrs. Zhou hurried to Xiao Qing, especially when she saw her mother going up the mountain with two bamboo baskets on her back, she was worried that her mother would faint when she went down the mountain.

"Mother, let me carry the bamboo basket for you!" Mrs. Zhou ran up to Xiao Qing and said.

But when she saw two pheasants in the bamboo basket, she asked in surprise, "Mother, are these... pheasants? Two, one?"

Xiao Qing was so tired that he couldn't breathe, and couldn't find the strength to talk to her, so he just nodded tacitly.

"Mother, you are really good. Not only can you enter the deep mountains, but you can also catch pheasants in the deep mountains, and you can pick so many chestnuts and mushrooms. Mother, I will definitely go into the deep mountains with you next time." Pass the bamboo basket on her back, carry it on her body, and then help her mother walk home.

Xiao Qing didn't want to fight with her, she was too tired from carrying two bamboo baskets, so give her the chestnuts and bamboo baskets, the chestnuts are already heavy, and with the addition of those two pheasants, she was about to be overwhelmed.

"Xiao Chengniang, go home and ask the children to get up and help mother cut up the mushrooms. Mother will go to the county to deliver to the guest restaurant later!"

"Okay, mother!" Zhou replied readily.

After Xiao Qing lost the chestnut and bamboo basket, his feet became lighter.

The way she walked early in the morning was already overloaded, and just as she was thinking, she was already home, and there were probably quite a few steps in the system mall.

After Xiao Qing got home, he sat in the yard to rest, and Mrs. Zhou put the chestnuts and bamboo baskets in the yard.

"Xiaolan, Xiaoyu, come out and see what mother caught in the mountains?" Mrs. Zhou walked into the grass shed with two pheasants in hand.

Qin's was cooking breakfast, Xiaoyu was lighting the fire, and the two came out with their heads poked out: "Sister-in-law, what did mother catch?"

When the two saw it, Qin looked at the two pheasants in surprise. There are pheasants in the mountains?Didn't it mean that the living things on the mountain were beaten up by Yaoshan Village, Fangjia Village and other villages?Mother caught pheasants, but also caught two?
"A few days ago, my mother caught wild pigeons in the woods behind the house. I didn't expect that my mother would catch a pheasant in the mountains a few days later? My mother is really amazing!" Qin said in amazement.

Qiao Yu stared at the two pheasants, thinking of the roast chicken they ate at noon yesterday, the taste of the roast chicken was still in his mouth.

"Wow, how did mother catch it? Are these pigeons and chickens lying down obediently and being caught by mother?" Qiao Yu asked confusedly.

The three laughed and sent the chicken into the grass shed together.

Xiao Qing was happy to see a few people, thinking that the pheasant was so big that he could just eat one, and the remaining one might as well be marinated, and then hoarded, so that he could take it out to eat when the dry winter came.

"Ms. Yuanyuan, after you have breakfast later, take off the feathers of these two chickens, keep one chicken and marinate it with salt, and stew the other chicken in soup at noon to nourish the body of the second classics." Xiao Qing ordered .

Qin frowned, that salt is more precious than chicken, is it really going to be salted?But when Mother said it, she had to listen.

"Okay mother, but mother, that salt is quite expensive..."

Xiao Qing smiled and said, "I'll go to the county and buy some later."

Qin thinks that her mother is good at spending money, but she can only obey her mother's words.

Mrs. Zhou put the chickens in the straw shed, and when they came out, she called Qiao Chengyangzi and Yuanyuan Shuiyuan who were still sleeping, and asked them to get up and pick mushrooms together.

Seeing that the meal was almost ready, Xiao Qing asked Mrs. Qin to go to the old horse's house in the village to call the donkey cart.

After two adults and a few children quickly cut the mushrooms, they stacked them layer by layer and put them back into the bamboo basket, looking neat and clean.

Xiao Qing was almost rested, Qin Shi baked a piece of wild vegetable cake with white flour for her before leaving, she drank another bowl of millet porridge, after eating in a hurry, she carried mushrooms and chili powder noodles on her back and walked to the entrance of the yard.

Just then the old horse's donkey cart also came to the village.
