The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 3 Discussion
"Little grass, let's pick it quickly. After picking it, we will go back and dry it. We can sell it on the market day." Then he started picking it.

After more than an hour of picking, the two people finally picked the fungus from the tree and put them into the basket. The baskets and baskets of the two were full of fungus.

After the two put away the fungus, they carried the basket on their backs and went down the mountain with the basket.

When I arrived at Xiaocao's house, Xiaocao said: "Ling'er, I don't know how to make this fungus. Wait for me first. After I put away the wild vegetables, I will go home with you to make fungus. Then you will sell it for money." You can just divide it up with me later.”

"Well, go in quickly! I'll wait for you to come out."

After a while, Xiaocao came out, "Ling'er, let's go!"

After arriving at Su Ling's house, "Xiaocao, sit down for a while, and I'll tell you what to do with the fungus after I feed the chicken."

"Okay, do you need my help?"

"No, just sit down, I'll be fine in a while."

After a while, Su Ling finished feeding the chicken, that is, cut up wild vegetables and fed them with wheat husks.

"Xiaocao, I've finished feeding. Come here quickly. I'll make fungus dishes for you to eat first. After you try it, you'll know what I said is right."

"Okay, I'll help you light the fire." Then he went to the kitchen.

After Su Ling washed the fungus, he tore it into small pieces, "Xiaocao, help me start the fire first."

"Ok."

After the pot was heated up, Su Ling put in the oil, and when the oil was hot, put the fungus in and stir-fried, then added salt. At this time, there were few seasonings, so he had no choice but to make do with it.After a few minutes, a pot of fragrant fungus will be fried.

"Well, it's delicious, but I don't know how it tastes like?" Xiaocao said.

"Of course it's delicious. It smells so good. Can it not taste good? You idiot. Come on, try it quickly." He said and handed a pair of chopsticks to Xiaocao.

"Not bad, it's quite delicious. It's better than the dishes we usually eat, but I don't know if we can sell them for money."

"Let's fix it first, and try it when the time comes. Even if we can't sell it, we can eat it ourselves! It's so delicious! Isn't it!"

"Yes, well, teach me how to do it quickly, we can finish it early, and we can rest for a while! Today is really tiring."

"Actually, there is no need to do it. We just need to hang it out and let it dry. There is no sun these days, but luckily it hasn't rained. Let's hang it in my yard. , I'll put it away at night, and from An's point of view, it should be ready in three to five days." Su Ling said.

"Okay, let's do it! Go get some more baskets that can hold the fungus, and I will spread the fungus." Xiaocao said.

After a quarter of an hour, the two of them dried all the fungus.

"I really hope that these fungus can be exchanged for some money, so that the family can live better. If I can really exchange money, I will go to pick more and save the money for my elder brother to marry a wife." Xiaocao said to herself The language arrives.

"It will definitely sell for money, you have to trust me."

Xiaocao's eldest brother is already 16 years old, the age to say goodbye, because the family is poor, no parents are willing to marry their daughter into such a family.Xiaocao's family is also a typical poor family in Huaxi Village, similar to Su Ling's family. There are many members in the family. There is an elder brother Li Dashu, a second elder brother Li Daye, and a younger brother named Li.

Xiaozhi, she is the third child in the family.Xiaocao's family is an outsider, not a local. During the famine, her parents were displaced to Huaxi Village, and settled here. Because they are outsiders, the family has no land, so they can only open up wasteland by themselves, Xiaocao His parents relied on their strength to open up two acres of wasteland, and these two acres of wasteland have supported their four siblings all these years.

"Brother Li is such a nice person, he will definitely marry a wife, Xiaocao, you don't have to worry." Su Ling said.

"I hope! I have to go back first, there is still work at home! Tomorrow we will go to pick wild vegetables and fungus together, and you will call me then." Xiaocao hurried away after finishing speaking.

In the evening, people who had worked all day came back in twos and threes.After Su Ling quickly cleaned up the housework, he washed the mushrooms, made a mushroom soup, and stir-fried a fungus.

When Su's father and Su's mother arrived home, what they saw was: the yard was cleaned up, and when they entered the kitchen, several pots of cooked vegetables were placed on the stove, and they hadn't had time to put them out.Su Ling turned around and saw her parents, "Father and mother, you are back! Wait a little longer, I can eat after I arrange the food, you go wash your hands first."

Su's mother looked at Su's father with red eyes and said, "Father, you can see that the child has changed after a fall and worked harder. It's useless for us to be parents!"

"Don't think so much, no matter how she changes, she is still our daughter." Father Su said.

Over there Su Ling was already busy, and after setting up the food, he called out: "Father, brother, it's time to eat, Xiao He has gone somewhere, I'll go out and call her."

Over there, Su Ho quickly ran into the hall, "Sister, you don't need to call me, I'm back, I'm so hungry! Can I eat?"

"You know how to eat, be careful to become a chubby girl." Su Ling said to Su Ho with a smile.

"How can it be so easy to become a fat girl! Sis, you talk nonsense."

"I'm back! You've been running crazy all day, and tomorrow I'll go digging wild vegetables with your sister." Mother Su scolded Su Ho.

"Mom, I don't want to go, I want to climb the mountain, and I have to get up so early, I can't get up anymore." Su Ho said coquettishly.

"No, you are so old, it's time to help. Your brother and sister already know how to help the family with such a big deal as you, and it's your father who spoils you." Su's mother said and gave Su's father a look. .

"What's none of my business again?" Su's father was so innocent, he picked up a piece of fungus and put it in his mouth, "Well, it smells so sweet, Ling'er, what is this?"

"This is called fungus. It's picked in the mountains. It's very nutritious." Su Ling said: "By the way, Dad, I plan to pick more. I'll dry it and bring it to the market to see if I can sell it. sell away?"

"This dark one, is it possible?" Su Dong said.

"Brother, you have to try it before you talk." Su Ling said.

"It's really delicious. Someone will definitely buy it by then, sister, I believe in you." Su Ho smacked his lips and said.

"Father and mother, I think so. Now the work in the field is about the same. I want to start tomorrow. Let my elder brother accompany me up the mountain to pick fungus and mushrooms. If Heer wants to go, he will follow. After all, there are many people and strength." What!"

"Father, the work in the field is about to finish, let Donger accompany Ling'er! This way I can feel more at ease." Mother Su said.

"Alright then, you three brothers and sisters can go together tomorrow!" Father Su said.
