Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 36, Questioning

Halfway up the mountain.

Lao Qi led the children to work hard, knowing that this thing can be eaten as a vegetable. In addition to filling the basket, they even picked up a large pile half the height of a person, hoping to wait for Xiaoqing and the others to come down and use the basket.

"Haha, what are you thinking? With so many of us, how can we still come down empty-handed? But you can do it!"

The fourth child was holding the roe deer, having a great time.

"Look, there is still a cub in his stomach. My sister said that the horns of this male roe deer can just be cut off and sold!"

"Wow, roe deer! Big roe deer, there is meat to eat!"

Zhao Chong was very hungry. Seeing this roe deer, the Zhao family got some before, but he never had a chance to eat it. He just listened to his friends in the village bragging about how delicious the roe deer was.

"Achong, let's take this roe deer home and raise it. It's not a meat eater. If you want to eat meat, sister-in-law will find a way. Keeping this roe deer can make a lot of money!"

"Hee hee, I listen to sister-in-law!"

The half-grown boy bared his small white teeth and smiled honestly.

The current sister-in-law is really nice, she is like a different person, gentle and laughing, she is no longer the previous sister-in-law who was eccentric and didn't care about their life or death.

A few people tied the wild ferns piled up on the ground with ropes, resisted them on their bodies, walked down the mountain, and then passed the area where the indigo fruit was growing. Xiaoqing hesitated, and the elder brother said directly: "We resist the things, and this is the best way to go." It’s time for dinner, and there’s no one on the road, so many things you’ve saved are eye-catching, so pick them up first, and we’ll pick you up later.”

Chen Qili is worthy of being the big brother. He arranged things thoughtfully and in an orderly manner. He was humble and loyal. He just didn't know what happened to the girl from the Bai family after he went back that day. He opened his mouth to ask, but he still thought about finding a time to ask, his elder brother was thin-skinned, so he would not talk about it for fear of being suffocated.

Lao Qi stayed on the mountain with a few children and Xiaoqing. Although it is not far from the foot of the mountain, if something happens, his sister Jingui is as expensive as an eyeball, "Little sister, let me tell you, you Don't think there are many things on this mountain, so you can sneak up the mountain by yourself, brother can tell you that you can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to go up the mountain by yourself! Do you hear me!"

A few people ate the dry food they carried in the morning, and there was no water, so they choked on their necks. They picked a dried indigo fruit and ate it without any taste.

"Brother, don't worry, there are at least three of us together. If there is no man, we will definitely not go deep."

Xiaoqing broke off the dry food and chewed it carefully, she was gentle and good-looking.

"It's just that there are really a lot of goods in this mountain. If it is finished, it will not be smaller than the harvest of one year's farming. Some of them can be planted with seeds, so except for the busy season, we really need to put in more effort here. .”

"That's not difficult. At first we said that we would spend time tidying up your house before opening up wasteland, and if it's a big deal, we'll hire someone to do it. We'll go up the mountain tomorrow!"

"Wow, that's great, Brother Qinong, you are so kind!"

"I like to go up the mountain. There are so many delicious things on the mountain! Sister-in-law, is that bracken delicious? I just tasted it secretly. It's a bit bitter. It's not as delicious as this black blind man."

Zhao Dou opened his mouth, his whole mouth turned black and purple because he ate too much blue indigo fruit, it was so scary.

"Haha, your mouth is black, like a big salamander!" Zhao Chong laughed at him, but he didn't feel any better, even his face was smudged.

"Tch, you too, your face looks like a big dog!"

The laughter of the children, the chirping of birds in the forest, the fragrance of the soil, standing on the mountain, taking a deep breath, feel relaxed and happy.

Xiaoqing thought, this is where she took root. In the next three years, she will turn the deep mountains into a treasure house and the barren land into fertile fields. Before the influx of refugees and robbers, she will have her own world!
The indigo bushes actually stretched out for a long distance. While picking them, they made marks for fear that they might not find the way back.

"This fruit can be used to make preserved fruit, jam, boil fructose, brew fruit wine, make fruit vinegar, or chop it up and mix it with cornmeal or white flour to make steamed cakes. I'm sure you can't get enough of it."

"Sister-in-law, can you do all these?"

"Of course."

"Then sister-in-law, I asked you not to be angry, why didn't you cook for us before? Mother is exhausted from cooking every day, why don't you care about mother?"
