The strong men have all gone out to do farm work, and the rest are old and weak, who stay at home to look after the yard.

When those people saw Zisu walking into the mountains with a hoe taller than their own, everyone's eyes were full of pity, but people are poor and short-sighted, no matter how much they pity them, they are just pity .

In fact, Zi Su had noticed those dense kudzu leaves that looked like a net when she went to the farmland with Tao Sandi last night.Before she thought of sending Tao Sandi and Tao Simei to pick up rice, she had planned that today she would go up the mountain to dig kudzu.

You must know that compared with those wild fruits that are eye-watering, although this kudzu root is not as filling as sweet potatoes and potatoes, it has a lot of starch content, so it is no problem to fill your stomach in a short time.

Zisu aimed at a main vine, and then groped along that main vine. She didn't know how far she walked, but when she looked up again, there were already leaves covering the sky and the sun was shining through the leaves. The gap shone on her face, casting a layer of mottled light and shadow.

In the previous life, this was a very good oxygen bar, but in this life...Zisu smiled, picked up the hoe beside her, carefully pushed aside the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, and poked them up one by one.

She remembered watching a TV program and said that you should not use heavy force to poke out the small roots on the side, so that you can poke out the big stems.

Thanks to this young body exercise, the seven-year-old girl did not feel tired after digging for more than half an hour.When Zisu looked at the pile of soil that was higher than her own, she imitated her grandfather's appearance in the village when she was young, spit into the palm of her hand, and continued to dig.

After digging for another quarter of an hour, a light brown color like a tree root suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and Zisu was overjoyed.Throwing away the hoe, he lay down on his stomach, loosening the soil with his hands.

Good guy, the kudzu root she dug up weighed twenty or thirty catties.

Zisu hugged the kudzu root that was not much lighter than her and smiled very happily, God, just watch.Not only do I want to live, I also want to live well.

Putting the Big Macs away, Zisu pushed the dug soil back into the pit, and walked back against the kudzu root.

When approaching the village entrance, I met the village chief, Tao Tugen.

"Zisu, what are you doing dragging a tree root back?"

Zisu looked at the village chief who was dark and strong, and smiled sweetly, "Go home to boil water."

The village head looked at Zisu suspiciously. He knew the situation of Aunt Tao’s family better than anyone else. Hearing that Zisu said that water was used to boil water, he couldn’t help being stunned. Water full?

It wasn't that Zisu didn't want to tell the village chief the truth, she just thought that her family was the poorest in the village, and if people knew that the kudzu root was edible, they might lose their share.

Besides, kudzu vines are difficult to dig, and most of the kudzu vines you see are actually false branches.Also, maybe you find the main vine, but when you dig down, there's nothing.

"I am back."

Zisu yelled, but she didn't see Mrs. Tao responding, and she didn't care.

He took a hatchet and cut off a third of the kudzu root, put the cut part in a basket, and walked along the road behind the house to the only well in the village.

Passing by three houses on the way, it was strange to see her carrying a tree root that had been cut into several sections in a basket.

There are only about [-] households in Taojia Village, and most of these [-] households are named Tao, only a few of them moved later and have different surnames.

"Zisu, what are you doing?"

The person who asked the question was Tao Youtian's old lady. The old lady leaned under the eaves and looked at the perilla in a small basket, smacking her toothless mouth.

"Grandma, I picked up some food in the mountains, washed it, and cooked it for my younger brothers and younger sisters." Zisu replied to Mrs. Tao Youtian's words while fetching water from the well.

"Girl, things in the mountains can't be messed up." The old lady's pine-bark-like face showed a look of surprise, and she said repeatedly, "Some things are so poisonous that they will eat dead people."

Zisu said without turning her head, "That's better than starving to death."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady stopped talking.

Isn't that right, according to the situation of Mrs. Tao's house, she would be starved to death if she was not poisoned.

The old lady sighed, seeing Zisu carry the washed wooden thing in a basket and walk back, she sighed long and turned her face away in embarrassment.

Perilla was peeled with a knife, cut into finger-sized dices, water was added to the pot, and flint was found to light the fire.

She had just lit a stove, and Tao Sandi's cheers rang in her ears.

"Second sister, second sister, we are back."

Zisu wanted to find a cloth to wipe her hands, but after looking up at the unrecognizable cloth towel, she wiped it twice on her body and went out.

"Second Sister, Second Sister, what do you give us to eat?" The third younger brother was more lively than the fourth younger sister, he put the basket in his hand into Zisu's hand, and said hurriedly.

Zisu looked at the bowl of Yuli that was gathered together in the basket, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Second sister, I have it too." Fourth sister timidly raised the basket in her hand to Zisu.

Although there are not many, it is not impossible to raise seedlings in the coming year.

Zisu smiled, took Simei's basket, and gave her a big smile, "Simei is really capable."

Tao Simei gave her a sweet smile.

Only at this time did Su realize that Aunt Tao was looking for them. Seeing her look like she was about to collapse in the wind, Zisu sighed and said softly, "Go inside and rest for a while, I've found some food. It will be fine soon."

Aunt Tao nodded.

"It's really fragrant, Second Sister, what did you do?" The third brother stood by the pot, almost reaching the edge of the stove, and kept looking into the pot.The fourth younger sister on the side also took her hand and looked up the stove frequently.

"Things that can fill your stomach like sweet potatoes." Zisu fetched water from a wooden basin, and at the same time took a handkerchief to wash the faces of the third brother and fourth sister, then changed the basin of water, twisted the handkerchief and handed it To Aunt Tao who looked over with a smile on one side. "Wash your face."

Aunt Tao raised her head and looked at her. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything. She took her handkerchief and wiped her face before getting up to pour water.

"I'll do it." Zisu rushed ahead of her and poured out the water in the wooden basin.

"Okay, second sister?"

The two children stared at the pot, and their mouths hurriedly urged.

"Okay, here's for you to eat." Zisu put away the wooden basin in her hand, took out four rough porcelain bowls, and filled them up for the third brother and four sisters, but her and Aunt Tao's bowls were empty. It's shallower.

"Come on, let's eat."

Tao Third Brother and Tao Fourth Sister cheered, took the bowl in her hand, and stuffed it into their mouths regardless of whether it was hot or not. It was so hot that their mouths were crooked, but they had happy smiles on their faces.

"It's delicious, sweet and a little sour." The third brother looked at Aunt Tao and said, "Mother, hurry up and eat."

Aunt Tao nodded with a smile, and was about to eat, but there was another heart-wrenching cough.

Zisu looked at her coughing face, and sighed secretly, she had to find money to see a doctor for her, otherwise she would really die, even if she had supernatural abilities, she might not be able to protect these two little buns ah!
