Song Hongguo teased her son with her mouth, but she seriously thought about what could replace pig grass and feed pigs to gain weight quickly.
When I caught a glimpse of the small pond in the front yard, I suddenly felt blessed.
Why did you forget the water hyacinth?
The system reminded aloud, "Water hyacinth is an invasive alien species. It will flood in the future and cause river congestion. The relevant departments had to intervene and finally remove it. It cost a lot of money at that time."
Now that Song Hongguo thought of water hyacinth, she had heard of these things. Water hyacinth had once been a scourge, but its original introduction had its own rationality and necessity.
It's times like this.
The emergence of water hyacinth has greatly alleviated the pressure of feed. Because it reproduces quickly and does not occupy land, it is an ideal feed for livestock in the south.
In the north, it is not popular.
"Special times require special things." Song Hongguo was not too worried. "We must first overcome the current difficulties before we can plan for the future. Besides, these are all controllable. There is little water in the north, so even if we want to flood, we don't have the conditions. and opportunity.”
Hearing this, the system didn't stop him anymore.
Song Hongguo bought some water hyacinth from the mall and threw it into the pond when the two little guys were not paying attention. There are many aquatic plants standing in the pond, including reeds, cattails, and lotus. There are also some water lilies floating on the water. , with a few water hyacinths mixed in among them, they are inconspicuous at all, but if no intervention is taken, it will not be long before the water hyacinths dominate this place.
After breakfast, Song Hongguo led the two children up the mountain.
After walking along the water stream for a while, after entering the Huanghua Valley, the temperature became obviously cooler. On the steep slopes on both sides, various vegetation also saw a bit of green. It was impossible to find wild vegetables that could be eaten. , the search scope of the children in the village has long been expanded to this area, and the land being harvested is extremely clean.
The water in the stream is still clear, but there are no fish. The battle to catch fish last time lasted for several days. Every household has a big harvest, and drying the fish can also fool them for a while.
"There are no fish." Ling Yuan's little face did not hide his regret. When he went out, he took all the fish nets with him and wondered if he could catch any. He couldn't eat enough of yesterday's grilled fish.
Ling Zhi also kept staring at the stream, even more disappointed than his younger brother.
When Song Hongguo saw this, she comforted herself and said, "Maybe there are some in the ponds in the mountains."
No, she still had to throw a few in to give her children a good time.
When Ling Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up with anticipation, "Really?"
Song Hongguo nodded naturally.
Ling Zhi asked doubtfully, "Are there any ponds in the mountains?"
Song Hongguo explained, "There are stone mines in the mountains here. After the stones are mined, many puddles of different sizes are left. When it rains, water is stored. Over time, it becomes a pond, and there are also some natural low-lying areas. At this place, the water flows together and forms a pool. People in the village don’t go there often, so there should be fish there.”
Ling Zhi's face finally lit up with hope.
However, for him, going up the mountain is not only for fishing, but also for more important activities, such as digging yams, looking for wild vegetables, and collecting firewood. If he can catch pheasants and rabbits, it will be even more perfect.
But Song Hongguo’s original intention was to travel around, eat and drink...
So, the two of them kept working and persuading.
"Xiao Zhi, why are you picking up so much firewood? It's so tiring to drag it along the way. Throw it away first. If you can't bear it, we can pick it up when we go back."
"What if someone picks it up? Forget it, you don't have to worry about it, it's not heavy."
"Then there's no need to dig up wild vegetables, right? Our family really doesn't lack these. We have them on our private plot. Besides, the vegetables are growing in the backyard. It's enough to just eat them."
"You can dry it and keep it for winter, or feed it to chickens and geese. It won't be wasted."
"There's really no need to hunt for yams. People in the village have dug them countless times before. How can there be any left?"
"Just try it, just in case you encounter it."
Even when he stopped to rest, Ling Zhi's eyes never rested. He held a stick in his hand and scratched in the grass, trying to see if there were any hidden rabbits.
Song Hongguo, "..."
Her son is so hard-working and capable, which makes her seem a bit indolent and greedy for enjoyment.
Finally, she couldn't bear to let them down, so she had to ask the system to help find yams. Fortunately, there were still some fish that slipped through the net. After working for a long time, she finally dug out a few yams.
I was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but listening to the brothers' cries of surprise made it all worth it no matter how exhausted I was.
Next, she bought some rabbits from the mall and deliberately released them on the road so that the two children could see them. They chased them excitedly and had a great time.
With her help in surrounding them, they caught two. Lingzhi was so happy that he giggled out loud. He finally looked like a seven or eight-year-old child without the maturity of a young man.
Near noon, Song Hongguo finally found a good place to set up camp. There were several tall cotinus trees growing around it. The trees were beautiful in shape and had thick trunks. They looked to be old. The area where the trees hugged each other was flat and about 20 years old. It's a square meter with only some rocks to climb on, which is just convenient for sitting.
The best thing is that standing on the boulder at the edge, you can overlook the beautiful scenery below the mountain. Not far away, there is a stream falling from the height, forming a small pool at the corner, making it easy to get water.
Song Hongguo built a simple stove with stones and directed the two little guys to collect some firewood nearby. She carried an aluminum pot to fetch water. At the same time, she put some fish in the pool, and then pretended to be surprised and greeted her. The brothers came to catch fish.
The system teased, "You worked really hard to entertain your children. You put in so many dramas for yourself along the way. Have you forgotten that we are live broadcasting..."
Song Hongguo, "..."
She really forgot.
"So? I was ridiculed by the entire Internet?"
The system hurriedly asked, "How could it be? On the contrary, everyone praises you as a kind-hearted and good mother who spares no effort to make her children happy."
Song Hongguo was dubious, "Really?"
It feels like irony.
The system patted its chest and said, "It's absolutely true. In later generations, parents will pay more attention to themselves. Few people are willing to devote too much time and thought to their children."
Hearing this, Song Hongguo became interested, "How could it be? When I came here, when I was a parent, I almost always revolved around my children after work, and most of my efforts were spent on my children, especially when I was a mother. , it’s not uncommon to sacrifice one’s hobbies, time, and even future for the sake of children.”
The system said in a complicated tone, "It may be that things must be reversed when they go to extremes. When parents pay too much, what they get in the end is not satisfactory. The more they pay, the more disappointed they become. The children are not grateful and appreciative. Some even accuse parents of being too disciplined and restrictive." If there are too many, it’s so rebellious and chilling, and if there are too many of these, parents will gradually pay more attention to their own development and enjoyment.”
Song Hongguo frowned and asked, "Isn't the biological relationship very indifferent?"
The system sighed, "Not only kinship, but in later generations, many people have turned themselves into an island. They are used to and even enjoy loneliness, and no longer like to socialize."
Song Hongguo was speechless for a moment.
