70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 176 White Eyed Wolf

"What are you shouting for? I'm afraid people don't know what to do!" Xu's mother became angry when she saw Fan Min like that.

"Zhonggui and I go to work every day, and we can drink porridge when we go home exhausted. Both children are sallow and emaciated. Xiao Nian, you caught this pheasant on the mountain today. See if you can do it. Let Wei Min and his siblings eat some too, they are your nephews and nieces just like Lan Hua and Wei Guo!" Fan Min didn't dare to refute Xu's mother's words, so he directly used Xie Xiaonian as a breakthrough point.

"Auntie and I fought together?" Wei Guo saw that Auntie's tone was not good, so he said hastily.

"Without your aunt, would you be able to call?" Fan Min said directly, regardless of whether Wei Guo was a child or not.

"No matter how angry you are with the child, no matter who beats it, you can't honor my old woman. Let me tell you, it's affection for you to eat, and it's duty not to eat it for you. You still provoked it, and you eat the little one You don’t have much to read, I think you are a white-eyed wolf. If you want to mess with me, go home and do it.” Seeing Fan Min’s appearance, Xu’s mother angrily picked up a broom and started chasing him away.

Xie Xiaonian saw the report of Xu's mother's combat strength, and drove them away with three slaps, and stepped forward and said, "Mother, why don't you send some to the second sister-in-law's house later."

"What to give, don't give, originally I thought about giving their family a bowl, but now I say no, I won't give it. When did her family give me meat once? The stuff with shallow eyelids is only a few If the sky doesn't take advantage, I won't be able to sit still." Mother Xu said angrily.

Xie Xiaonian saw that Xu's mother was so angry, so she didn't say anything, she was not a holy mother anyway, and she never saw Wei Min and the others were hungry.

For the next month, as long as the weather is good, Xie Xiaonian will take the orchids up the mountain to gather herbs and recognize them, and Weiguo will also go up the mountain to check the prey on the rest day and after school in the afternoon. Although there are not many hunted, but a week Can catch one or two too.

Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, every time the prey is brought back, the sister-in-law will deal with it directly.

In order to prevent others from smelling the smell of meat from her house, sister-in-law and Lan Hua usually wait until midnight to cook the meat, and when they eat it the next day, they put it on the steamer to heat it up, and other houses don’t smell anything Taste it.

Because Xie Xiaonian is pregnant, when the pheasant is caught, the sister-in-law will give it to Xie Xiaonian, or just prepare it and serve some to Xie Xiaonian.

And almost all the wild eggs were given to Xie Xiaonian, although she usually hunts, and there is no shortage in the space, but they are still kept, and it is not in vain for her to teach Weiguo.

Because Xu's mother believed that pregnant women should not eat rabbit meat, otherwise the child would have a three-petal mouth, so Xu's mother never let Xie Xiaonian eat rabbit meat, even soup.

Although Xie Xiaonian knew that this was unscientific, seeing how much Xu's mother attached importance to it, she didn't argue with Xu's mother. After all, this idea was already deeply ingrained in Xu's mother's mind, and Xie Xiaonian couldn't explain it in a few words.

However, Xie Xiaonian does often eat rabbit meat in the space. She knew in her previous life that not only pregnant women can eat rabbit meat, but rabbit meat is also good for her body.

This day, Xie Xiaonian was playing at his sister-in-law's house, when he saw Wei Guo came back from the mountain, this time, two little rabbits fell into the trap, probably just over a month old.

Because the family often eats meat recently, the sister-in-law doesn't care about this little thing anymore. Looking at the little rabbit who is not running very quickly, she said to Weiguo: "Why do you bring such a small rabbit back? Just let it go. Is it, there is no meat in eating it, and it is not enough effort."

After hearing what his mother said, Weiguo also felt a little embarrassed. At that time, he only thought the little rabbit was cute, so he brought it back.

Wei Guo scratched his head, and said to his mother: "What are you going to do, why don't I put it back on the mountain?"

"Sister-in-law, since you brought them all back, and they look very energetic, why don't you just raise them, and you can eat meat when they grow up. Moreover, rabbits reproduce quickly. If you keep them, you won't be able to hunt even in winter. When the time comes, there will be no shortage of meat at home." Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian suggested.

"It's good, but it's a wild rabbit, not a domestic rabbit. I don't know if it can be raised, and there is no one in the village who raises rabbits." Li Suxin said uncertainly.

"Why can't I live? You see, these rabbits can live in the wind and sun and rain on the mountain, and they can certainly be raised at home. As long as you pay attention to hygiene and don't let the rabbits get sick, it's fine, and the rabbits don't Are they also raised by wild rabbits? Raising them will cost some grass and vegetable leaves every day. It is an income to feed them, and nothing will be lost if they are not fed." Xie Xiaonian persuaded.

"Mother, let's try raising one. Even if these two rabbits are put on the mountain, they probably won't be able to find their own mother. I don't know if they can survive by then." Lan Hua also persuaded.

The sister-in-law saw that both children wanted to raise them, and as Xiao Nian said, these animals can live on the mountain, and they should be able to raise them at home.

And now it is almost summer, there are a lot of wild vegetables and weeds on the mountain, and there are also a lot of green vegetables in the vegetable field, which is enough to feed.

Thinking of this, Li Suxin said to the two of them: "It's okay to raise it, but you have to do the work of mowing, feeding grass, and cleaning by yourself. Now that you have raised it, let's try to feed it."

"Okay, mother, don't worry, we must take good care of it, and when we catch wild rabbits in the future, we will keep only the big one, so that they can live better with the big rabbits leading them." Wei Guo said happily .

After Weimin and Taohua, who went out to play at night, came back, they were also very happy to see the little rabbit in the cage. After all, children like such a small and cute little rabbit very much.

"April 8th, pick honeysuckle", because honeysuckle will bloom from 9 to [-] in the morning, and the honeysuckle used as medicine is a flower bud that is about to bloom, so it is best to harvest it in the early morning, so that the harvested honeysuckle can have a high yield. Good quality.

So since the honeysuckle on the mountain could be picked, Xie Xiaonian would lead the orchids up the mountain every morning at dawn.

Because the villagers also pick honeysuckle, so this day, the two went to a valley that Xie Xiaonian stepped on last year. Although the place is a bit remote, people don't often go there, and it is full of medicinal materials, especially in pieces. The honeysuckle flowers are very pleasing to look at, so don't be afraid that someone will snatch them.

"Auntie, there are too many here! How do you finish picking them?" Lan Hua looked at so many honeysuckle in the valley, swallowed her saliva and said.

"Of course we can't finish picking, and we're not greedy, as long as we pick enough, but if you want to earn some pocket money, you can also pick more and sell them to the buying station." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Can it really be sold for money? How much can it be sold for a catty?" Lan Hua hurriedly asked after hearing that honeysuckle can be sold for the first time.

"There are a lot of honeysuckle on the mountain here, so the price is not too high. If it is dried in the sun, it is only about 5 cents a catty." The honeysuckle is not weighed after drying, so Xie Xiaonian doesn't feel too much cost-effective.

"5 cents is not a lot. Anyway, it's okay to be idle. If you can earn 5 cents, it's [-] cents. When Weiguo and the others rest, I will bring them to pick them. They will definitely be willing." Lan Hua felt that [-] cents was quite a lot. , no cost anyway.

"Come pick it if you want, it's a waste if you don't pick it."

After the two picked for a while, they suddenly heard noises and voices not far away.

"Who, there must be ghosts!" Lan Hua heard the voice, ran to Xie Xiaonian's side in fright, her voice trembling.

"It's broad daylight, what the hell is going on, let's go and have a look." After saying that, Xie Xiaonian walked not far away.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, why are you?" Xie Xiaonian looked at the two people in front of him and asked in surprise.

Seeing someone coming, Er Ya threw the hoe in her hand in fright, and looked at Xie Xiaonian anxiously.

"I did all of this. If you want to report it, you can report it to me, but please pretend that you didn't see Erya. She is still young and I forced her here." Big Ya looked at the two of them, Pretend to be strong and beg.

"Don't worry, we will pretend we didn't see it! But you have to pay attention in the future. Although people don't come here often, it's not like no one comes here." Xie Xiaonian looked at the crops that had grown in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, we have nothing to do. When we separated, we shared the little food, and our family is still living in the cafeteria. The work points my parents earned are not enough to eat, let alone house, that’s why I thought about planting some food on the mountain.”

Because she knew that Xie Xiaonian had made dumplings for three and four, so the big girl didn't have that much defense against Xie Xiaonian, and directly believed Xie Xiaonian's words.

"It's not impossible for you to be in this kind of land, but don't leave any evidence, so that even if this crop is discovered in the future, no one will think that you planted it." Xie Xiaonian warned.

"Auntie, didn't you say that honeysuckle can be sold for money? Anyway, there are so many of them in the valley, why don't they pick and sell them for money? The food they grow is still too early to harvest!" Lan Hua saw that the two were skinny and skinny. Her clothes were also patched, so she whispered to Xie Xiaonian.

"Are you willing?" Lan Hua was thinking of selling honeysuckle for money just now, but now she is thinking of giving it to someone else, which really surprised Xie Xiaonian.

"What is there to be reluctant about? This valley is not my home, and there are so many honeysuckle here, I can't finish picking them!" Lan Hua said with a blushing face.

"Well, then you can talk to them, but you have to teach them what to pick and how to dry them, and I won't interfere!"

"Well, okay, I'll teach them." Lan Hua felt that she had done something good, and replied with sparkling eyes.

Xie Xiaonian saw that Lanhua had gone to talk to Daya and Erya, so she turned around and went to pick honeysuckle.

"Auntie, I have an appointment with Da Ya Er Ya, we will go up the mountain together tomorrow morning." On the way back, Lan Hua said excitedly.

"Well, I won't go up the mountain tomorrow, the three of you can go together!" Xie Xiaonian replied.

"Ah, why, little aunt, are you angry because I made the decision and asked Daya and the others to follow us?" Lan Hua hurriedly stopped when she heard that Xie Xiaonian would not go, and said awkwardly.
