Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 90 This is a Kiss

Chen Weidong, Shitou and Bingzi were walking on the mountain ridge. The mountain ridge is actually the edge of the mountain. As long as it is a big mountain, there will be edges. This edge is a natural mountain road.

Therefore, when people living in the mountains walk on mountain roads, they usually walk along the edge of the mountain, that is, the ridge.

Carrying the backpack, Chen Weidong untied the leashes of the two dogs. Although the road they were taking back was the same one they had taken here, it was undoubtedly safer with two dogs leading the way.

Along the way, the three of them walked and stopped, but they didn't encounter any setbacks. At about four o'clock, Chen Weidong brought Shitou and Bingzi back to the village and put the Platycodon and Gastrodia elata into the yard.

Chen Weidong tied up the dog and touched the white tiger at home.

Then, looking at Shitou and Bingzi who were panting, Chen Weidong asked Shitou and Bingzi to come over tomorrow to clean the herbs, and then let them go back to rest.
Shitou and Bingzi were carrying over 100 to 200 kilograms of stuff, especially after carrying it back from the mountains. Even if they were very strong, they could not hold on any longer.

As soon as the two put down the sacks, they immediately sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. It was only after Liu Xueting brought two bowls of water, which they gulped down, that they felt better.

"okay!"

Shitou and Bingzi nodded and left.

"You should drink some too. This is honey water."

Liu Xueting said with concern, and then she saw two wild ducks on the ground, so she went to the kitchen, boiled water, and prepared to cook the wild ducks.

Chen Weidong gulped down the drink, then followed Liu Xueting into the kitchen and found that the children were not at home. The four puppies were also not at home. They were probably out playing with the little ones.

Looking at Liu Xueting who was busy in front of the earthen stove, the firelight from the earthen stove fell on her, roasting her cheeks red.

Chen Weidong's restless heart in the morning rose up again!

After a while, Liu Xueting got up and prepared to scoop water, and Chen Weidong hugged Liu Xueting from behind.

Liu Xueting's body froze, and she said shyly, "Be careful, the children may see us!"

Chen Weidong rested his head on her shoulder, rubbed her hair, and said softly: "Don't worry! The little ones are playing outside and won't come back so early."

"Besides, we are husband and wife!"

Chen Weidong said.

There are too many children at home, which is not convenient whether it is day or night.

Chen Weidong had already planned in his mind that once he had enough money, he would build two more rooms so that the children could sleep by themselves. It would be really troublesome for them to all lie on one big kang!

Liu Xueting's face turned red, and her tone became unnatural. She felt a little awkward doing such an intimate action in broad daylight.

"Can you please let me go? I'm still busy. What will happen if someone sees me?"

Liu Xueting felt her whole body go limp, and she didn't hear anything Chen Weidong said.

"No, just hold it like this, it's so nice."

Chen Weidong looked at Liu Xueting's coquettish expression and became more and more aggressive: "Wife, seeing how hard your man works, shouldn't you reward me?"

"Huh? Ah? Reward? What reward?" Liu Xueting's mind went blank and she didn't know where she was.

"Come, give me a kiss."

Chen Weidong smiled and said that his little southern wife was quite interesting. No wonder people said that southern women were very gentle. If his elder brother treated his sister-in-law like this, he would probably slap him in the face.

Liu Xueting refused.

Of course Chen Weidong knew that his wife was embarrassed, so he forcefully turned her head over and gave her a hard kiss.

"Oh! Daddy, shame on you for eating mom's saliva again!"

Suddenly, Si Ni's babyish voice was heard from the kitchen door.

Suddenly hearing the little guy's voice, Liu Xueting panicked and her cheeks, ears and neck turned red.
He pushed Chen Weidongcheng away, then walked out of the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Just at this moment, Da Ni came in holding Liu Ni, Er Ni, San Ni, and Wu Ni, and the four puppies followed them happily.

"Mom, it's okay. I have to go get busy!"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Chen Weidong, not noticing at all that Liu Ni, who was held in Dani's arms, was stretching out her little hands for her mother to hug her.

Chen Weidong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Why was this Si Ni her again...

"Big sister, second sister, Dad just ate..."

Si Ni was just about to tell her elder and second sisters what had just happened when suddenly, her body felt lighter and then a big head nudged into her arms, making her burst into laughter and unable to speak anymore.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Chen Weidong urged and threatened.

"Hehe, I won't say anymore. Hehe, Dad, hehe, I won't say anymore..."

Si Ni laughed and begged for mercy.

"Dad, I want one too! I want one too!"

Xiaowu was so envious that he pulled Chen Weidong's trouser leg and begged him repeatedly.

"Dad~"

Even Xiaoliu in Dani's arms stretched out his little hands, stared at his legs, and struggled out of Dani's arms.

"it is good."

Chen Weidong smiled, put Si Ni down, picked up Wu Ni, and nuzzled her belly.
"Dad~"

"Dad~"

Liu Ni pulled his trouser leg. Chen Weidong teased Wu Ni, glanced at Liu Ni who could only cry, and fulfilled her wish by teasing the little baby.

When Chen Weidong was teasing the two little ones, Si Ni quietly walked to the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister and whispered: "Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, I will tell you a secret, Dad just ate Mom's saliva!"

"what?"

Erni was shocked, "Why?"

Si Ni said in a baby voice: "I don't know either. I've seen it twice! Is it because mommy's saliva is sweet?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Dani didn’t understand the reason either, but it was definitely not the same reason as Si Ni’s.

"No, Si Ni wants to give it a try."

Si Ni turned around and walked into the kang room, and saw Liu Xueting sitting on the kang, busy with needlework.

"Mother?"

Liu Xueting had just calmed down from her panic when she heard Si Ni's voice.

He started jumping up and down again, feeling like a thief who had been caught.

She kept telling herself that she and Chen Weidong were already an old married couple and had six children, so why should she be so shy?
This trick works when no one is around.
But my daughter caught me. If this gets out, it will be so embarrassing!
It’s all Chen Weidong’s fault. No one would hug each other in broad daylight.

"Mommy mommy?"

Si Ni called out several times before Liu Xueting came to her senses: "Why are you here instead of playing outside?"

"Mom, I want to taste your saliva, too."

Si Ni said.

"what?"

Liu Xueting didn't understand what Si Ni meant.

"I've seen my dad eat it several times, I want to try it too..." "Uh..."

"What's going on in this kid's little head?"

Liu Xueting stared at Si Ni with a serious face and warned: "Don't tell anyone about this. Do you hear me?"

It’s not that Liu Xueting likes to be mean to children. In the past, when Chen Weidong beat the children, she was the one who protected them and loved them.
It’s just that Chen Weidong suddenly became very nice to the children. They ate better and the little ones became more lively. In order to control the children, Liu Xueting had to be stricter, otherwise these little ones would become lawless!

"Ah."

Si Ni was shocked. Her mother was rarely mean to others, but she was actually mean to her. Her mouth drooped and she almost cried.

"If I hear you say that, I'm going to beat your ass to pieces! Remember that?"

Liu Xueting warned again, and seeing Si Ni's pitiful appearance, she softened a little: "Be obedient!"

"I heard you, Mom~ Si Ni, be obedient."

Si Ni was kicked out.

Second sister Ni was standing outside the room. She was also very curious about why Daddy ate Mommy's saliva. Seeing Si Ni coming out with a pouty mouth and a very aggrieved look, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did Mommy scold you?"

Si Ni nodded, then hugged Er Ni and really cried.

After all, he is still a child under four years old. No matter what, he is just a child. If his mother scolds him, he will still be afraid, cry, and seek comfort.

Dani and Erni comforted her for a while.

Chen Weidongcheng heard the crying and came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dad, Mom is mean to me!"

Si Ni cried.

"why?"

"I... wuwu... want to learn... wuwu... from daddy to eat... wuwu... mom's saliva... wuwu... before I even say anything... wuwu... she's already mean to me... wuwu..." Si Ni said while crying, looking extremely aggrieved.

Chen Weidong couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and said sternly: "You little fool, you are talking nonsense, if mom doesn't scold you, who will you scold?

Chen Weidong thought about it and felt that it was necessary to explain it to the children. Otherwise, if this matter got out, others would think he was a pervert.

"Si Ni, Daddy is not eating Mommy's saliva, Daddy is kissing Mommy."

Chen Weidong put Si Ni on the ground, held her shoulders, and said seriously, "Dad loves Mom, and Mom loves Dad, so Dad kissed Mom. This is an expression of love. Do you understand?"

"Dad, what is love?"

Si Ni looked at Chen Weidong with her eyes wide open, tears still on her face.

Chen Weidong was confused by the questions. These little guys asked too many questions.

Looking at the little girls, each with a curious look in their eyes, Chen Weidong patted his forehead and gave a brief explanation. Of course, he just gave a brief explanation, and they will naturally understand when they grow up!
"Do you understand?"

Chen Weidong asked.

"No."

Not only Si Ni, but also Da Ni and Er Ni shook their heads. Although the two sisters seemed sensible, they were still little girls of six or seven years old after all.

"Anyway, just remember that Daddy doesn't eat Mommy's saliva. Daddy just kisses Mommy."

In the end, Chen Weidong was too lazy to explain.

"I understand."

Suddenly Dani said.

"What do you unserstand?"

Chen Weidong and a few other little ones looked at Dani.

Dani said with some pride: "I understand, Dad, you were kissing Mom!"

"Oh? This is a kiss?"

The little guys looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

"Still, elder sister knows more..."

……

After dealing with the little guys, Chen Weidong smiled bitterly while looking at the hot water in the pot.
Then kill the duck and pluck its feathers!

A few little kids came running over!

After a busy night, the family of eight finished their meal and lay down on the kang.

The next day, Chen Weidong had just finished feeding the puppies at home, and the family of eight had just finished breakfast.

Shitou and Bingzi ran over happily.

"Brother Weidong, Sister Xueting!"

Chen Weidong nodded to the two people: "Here we are! Let's deal with the Gastrodia elata and Platycodon first."

"Brother Weidong, just tell us how to deal with it, we will listen to you!"

"It's very simple. First, use water to clean the Platycodon grandiflorum and Gastrodia elata."

"I'll steam the Platycodon grandiflorum and dry it in the sun later. As for the Gastrodia elata, I'll wash it and sell it directly in the county town!"

Chen Weidong said slowly.

In fact, the price of dried Gastrodia elata is more than twice that of wet Gastrodia elata, because Gastrodia elata needs to be steamed and dried three times before it can be finished, so the price is the highest.
However, it is too troublesome to deal with, so it is better to wash it and sell it directly. This way, when the money is in hand, some can be divided between the two people, and Shitou and Bingzi will work harder.

As for Platycodon grandiflorum, it needs to be steamed and dried in the sun, because it is cheap and no one will buy it if it is not processed.
Because medicinal materials are not easy to preserve and are prone to mold, and Gastrodia elata is expensive, purchasing stations generally handle it themselves.

Chen Weidong divided the work among Shitou and Bingzi. Shitou was responsible for fetching water, while he and Bingzi were responsible for washing the medicinal materials, steaming the Platycodon grandiflorum, and drying it in the sun.

Washing medicinal materials is not an easy job. You need to use a brush to brush off the mud on Platycodon and Gastrodia elata.

Soon the house became busy. Liu Xueting sent the little ones out to play and helped out.

Very quickly! More than 100 kilograms of Platycodon grandiflorum were washed, steamed, and dried in the sun.

After washing more than 200 kilograms of Gastrodia elata, there were about 200 kilograms left, which were directly put into the sack.

Chen Weidong led out the donkey, put on the donkey saddle, said hello to Liu Xueting, and then set off with Tianma.

Chen Weidong did not bring Shitou and Dashan with him. The two of them weighed 300 to 400 kilograms, and the donkey cart would have been too slow without them.
It would be better for Chen Weidong to go alone and come back quickly. After about three or four hours, Chen Weidong arrived at the purchasing station with ease.

After weighing, there were still 220 kilograms of Gastrodia elata left, and the price was 3.6 cents per kilogram, which was much higher than Chen Weidong had guessed. As for the processed product, it was one yuan per kilogram, nearly three times higher.

Two hundred and twenty kilograms were sold for a total of seventy-nine and twenty cents, a price much higher than Chen Weidong expected.

After getting the money, Chen Weidong did not stay long. He chatted with the master at the purchasing station. Then, seeing a bun shop, he spent 20 cents and bought two buns. He ate them while driving the donkey cart back.

On the way, when passing by Yangshutun, I saw a family in the village slaughtering a pig.

Yangshutun is a big village, close to the county town. There is not much entertainment these days, so people like to watch the fun, especially the slaughter of pigs.
When Chen Weidong was driving his donkey cart past, he thought there was a fight going on. But when he saw many rural women carrying baskets and heard the screams of pigs, he realized that someone was slaughtering pigs.

I didn't buy any meat in the county town just now, but if I see a pig slaughter, I will definitely buy more, because the price of slaughtering pigs in the countryside is cheaper, no tickets are required, and the pork is all local pork, fat and delicious.
