When the Shen family was busy, Shen Su'e took a few children into the mountains and picked a lot of wild fruits in addition to wild vegetables.

De Le was amazed and confused, why didn't she see anything when she and De Huan went into the mountain yesterday?There are even very few wild vegetables, but today, these wild fruits...things like raspberries, raspberries, and loquats all grew out overnight, as if they were agreed upon.

Not long after, the basket on Dele's shoulders was more than half full. Her aunt asked her if it was heavy and if she wanted to help carry it.
"No, it's not heavy at all," Dele said. "I used to go into the mountains to cut firewood. The wood carried on my shoulders was much heavier than these wild fruits."

Shen Su'e couldn't help feeling that rural girls were so pitiful. They started doing such heavy farm work at a young age and could not study like boys.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her daughter, thinking that she must let Lingbao learn how to read and find a way to let her go to the city and become a resident.

They walked up the mountain for a long time, and the milk baby tried hard to recall the surrounding environment, and finally found the place where she hid the pumpkin.

"Mom, shall we go here?" Xiao Lingbao said.

Nodding in response, Shen Su'e quickly followed behind her daughter.

"Auntie, Lingbao, be careful," Dele pulled his sister and struggled to follow them, "There is no road here, so don't go in, lest you accidentally encounter something scary. "

Shen Su'e said: "De Le, you and De Huan should wait outside. Don't follow them in. It's really not easy to get around here..."

Dele didn't worry about them, so he let his younger sister, who was too tired to walk, rest where she was before he followed in.

After passing a century-old tree, they walked about ten meters more, and Lingbao said in a cheerful voice: "Mother, this is it!"

Hearing Lingbao's voice, Dele was curious, wondering if Lingbao had found any mushrooms?Or wild vegetables... or wild fruits?
When she got closer, she saw a round thing in front of her aunt. It was very big and buried under various fallen leaves.

"what is this?"

When Dele asked, Shen Su'e had already patted away the fallen leaves covering the pumpkin.

Seeing the big yellow pumpkin in front of her, the corners of her lips raised, thinking that it was indeed a pumpkin grown by the gods!It was bigger than she imagined.

It seemed that she arrived in time. The big pumpkin was not discovered by others. She would move it home later and steamed a piece for Lingbao to eat. Unfortunately, there was no white flour now. If there was white flour, it would be better. Can make pumpkin pie.

"Nan, pumpkin?" Dele asked in disbelief, "How can there be pumpkins in this season? And there can't be pumpkins in the mountains..."

Hearing her words, Shen Su'e thought that she couldn't tell others about the gods, so she immediately pretended to be surprised, "It's really strange, why is there such a big pumpkin here?"

"That's right," Dele nodded again and again, exclaiming, "Pumpkins are clearly an autumn vegetable, but now it's spring!"

"It's really weird," Shen Su'e said after patting the pumpkin twice. "But since it grows in the mountains, it shouldn't have an owner, right? Let's move it down the mountain. It should be fine, right?"

Seeing his aunt turn to look at him, Dele was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly, "It must be wild if it grows in the mountains."

After finishing speaking, she asked: "But this pumpkin is so big, how do we move it down the mountain? How about I go down the mountain and ask my uncle and my father to help?"

"No need," Shen Su'e took out the kitchen knife from the basket, "I just happened to bring a pole and a kitchen knife. Cut this pumpkin in half and it should be able to be put into the basket. As long as it can be carried on a pole, I can carry it. Go down the mountain.”

While they were talking, Lingbao smelled something familiar, his eyes turned golden, and he looked at the ground around him.

Huh?Is it a carrot?No, it should be called "ginseng".

Thinking that eating ginseng could restore his spiritual power, Lingbao didn't think much about it. He grabbed the green ginseng leaves with one hand and dug into the soil with the other.

Shen Su'e cut the big pumpkin in half with difficulty and put it into the basket. When she turned to look for the little Lingbao, she found that she was digging on the ground. "Lingbao, what are you doing?"

"I'm digging ginseng." Milk Baby said.

Her mother was stunned for two seconds, "Huh? Ginseng?"

"Yeah! It's been dug out!" Lingbao's little hands were covered with mud. He grabbed the ginseng in his hand with a smile and shook it twice. "It seems to be bigger than the ginseng that big brother dug out before, mother. What do you think of kissing me?"

"It's really ginseng!" Shen Su'e said in surprise.

At such an old age, Dele still didn't know what ginseng was, so she asked curiously: "Auntie, what is ginseng? Is it edible? It looks a bit like a radish, but much smaller than a radish."

Shen Su'e explained: "Ginseng is a medicinal material."

"Oh, so it's a medicinal material? Can it cure colds and fevers?"

"Well... I'm not a doctor, so I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, it's just a kind of medicinal material. Okay, don't talk about it, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Shen Su'e bent over slightly, put one shoulder on the pole, and then stood up straight with one breath, "Okay, let's go!"

Lingbao looked at her mother's back, fearing that her mother would accidentally flash her waist, and her tone was worried and distressed, "Mother, is it heavy? How about Lingbao help you carry half of it?" Really strong..."

"Little fool, how many pounds does this weigh? I guess it's only sixty or seventy pounds. I'll be fine, don't worry."

"If mother feels uncomfortable, don't be brave."

Listening to her daughter's concerned words, Shen Su'e felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, if I can't pick it up anymore, I won't hold on."

It was more than an hour after they got home.

During this period, Dexi cried and wanted to eat mushrooms, "I want to eat it, I want to eat it, I have long been tired of eating cornbread, I want to eat this fragrant mushroom..."

"How many times have I said this? Your aunt and Lingbao discovered this mushroom. They haven't agreed to let us eat it yet. When will you eat it?"

Dexi seemed not to have heard what her grandma said at all, "You have to eat it, you have to eat it, I don't want to eat steamed buns, wuwu..."

"Then don't eat any of them!"

After Zhao Cuilan finished speaking displeasedly, she took the Wowotou in front of Dexi into the bowl with sweet potatoes in Tugen, and said, "You can eat Tugen, your grandma and Lingbao should be back soon."

Tugen had been eating white noodles for a while before, and now he took a bite of the steamed buns. He felt that the taste was incomparable to the noodles made by his grandma. The taste and texture were completely different. However, he was not as squeamish as Dexi, and was very I quickly finished one steamed bun.

After eating the corn bread, he also ate the sweet potatoes.

Dexi was still crying right now. Her two cousins ​​and her brother were all carrying their schoolbags to go to school. She was still making a fuss, with tears and runny noses saying: "If you don't give me mushrooms, I won’t study anymore! Wuwuwu..."

"Mom," Wang Chunmiao couldn't help but say, "How about cooking some fungi for Dexi to eat? It's not a particularly valuable thing. If she continues to cry and make noise like this, her voice will definitely become hoarse. Why are you going to study?"

Zhao Cuilan changed her usual indulgence and said, "Just don't read. I don't think this girl is the material for reading."
