The trees in the forest were getting denser and denser, and the two of them never met anyone else. Ning Yue was not in a hurry to go up the mountain today. The two of them also picked some miscellaneous mushrooms along the way.
"We really lost money this year. We missed a lot of mushrooms."
Who would have imagined that as a teacher, you have to work during a long vacation? It’s so hard!
Xu Yansheng didn't know about her selling matsutake mushrooms, so he just thought she was saying that her family didn't have any stock of the mushrooms she usually ate.
Xu Yansheng plucked dead leaves in the dead grass and said, "If you like to eat, you can buy some in the village. It won't be short of what you eat." After saying that, he got another big pine mushroom. The pine trees on Mangshan Mountain are definitely the best. It is one of the most abundant tree species. Therefore, as long as you go up the mountain during the picking season, you can pick a lot of pine mushrooms almost every time.
Ning Yue said nothing and continued to pick mushrooms. Near noon, she finally arrived at the place where Ning Yue had marked the place with ginseng.
"You said you saw an old ginseng tree, which one were you referring to?" Xu Yansheng pointed to a small piece of ginseng leaf and said with a confused look on his face.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yue actually pointed out one to him, "Here, that's the one. There are fruits on it. I think it has the largest leaves and the largest number of years. I just don't know how old it is."
Xu Yansheng was about to explode. In this small piece, he saw at least seven ginsengs, all with six compound leaves. This meant that these ginsengs were at least six years old. Moreover, based on his only knowledge, these ginsengs were Ginseng is definitely more than just six years old.
"What to do now?"
Ning Yue said in surprise: "What else can we do? Dig it out slowly, just be careful not to hurt the roots."
Xu Yansheng looked at the small hoe and rake handed over by Ning Yue, and looked at the ginseng tree with the lushest leaves in a daze, "Don't you need to tie it with a red string?"
Ning Yue: "...If you want to tie it, it's not impossible."
As she spoke, she took out a red rope and tied it to the ginseng stem, and signaled to Xu Yansheng, "That's it."
Xu Yansheng:......
After holding it in for a long time, he finally spoke again, "How about we choose a small one to practice. I'm really inexperienced."
Ning Yue looked at the several ginsengs on the ground, and finally nodded, "Then just dig up one. The one closest to you is suitable."
Only then did Xu Yansheng dare to pick up the hoe. It was not because he was timid, but because Ning Yue said that this ginseng tree was intended to be given to grandpa. If the ginseng was damaged, it would not be perfect.
His movements were always cautious, and from time to time he would wipe the sweat on his head with his sleeves, and his movements were gentle and gentle.
Ning Yue couldn't tell the age of the ginseng just by looking at the leaves, but when Xu Yansheng pulled the ginseng out of the soil bit by bit, she was somewhat convinced that this small tree had grown into a human shape!
After the ginseng was completely unearthed, Xu Yansheng quickly and carefully handed the ginseng to Ning Yue. Ning Yue carefully counted the ginseng. There must be at least thirty or forty densely packed reed bowls, which means that this ginseng tree is at least forty years old. Around.
"This time, just dig up the biggest one, and leave the rest alone. It's not good for us to take over too many of the things we were born to grow."
Moreover, these ginseng seeds are already mature, and some have fallen to the ground. She not only picked some from the ground just now, but also picked all the ones left on the stems. Throwing these into the space, it won't take long for her to A lot of ginseng will grow in the space.
Xu Yansheng nodded. They were not in a hurry. If they wanted to exchange these ginseng for money, let them grow like this. Maybe these ginseng could grow in the forest for a hundred or two hundred years!
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xu Yansheng rested for a while and then moved on to the obviously larger ginseng tree in the middle.
Ning Yue used a small rake to help dig up the soil. As time passed, the ginseng tree slowly revealed its true colors.
It is a white and plump human figure with extremely long ginseng whiskers. It weighs at least five or six ounces when picked up. Looking at the countless reed bowls, it must be at least more than two hundred years old.
After Xu Yansheng dug two ginseng trees, he felt that all his strength was exhausted, so he simply sat down on the ground and took two deep breaths.
Ning Yue took out the moss she had prepared and wrapped the ginseng in it, then carefully put it into her backpack.
"Hey, I wasn't nervous at first. I was worried because of you. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Xu Yansheng: "Do you blame me? You said you wanted to dig ginseng when we were already on the mountain. I wasn't even prepared. You don't know that when I held the hoe, my palms were all sweaty, for fear of accidentally digging any ginseng." The ginseng whiskers are broken by the hoe!"
As he spoke, he himself smiled.
Ning Yue also found it a bit funny, "Okay, okay, let's go down the mountain quickly, go to the river to catch two fish on the way, and go back to make fish stew for you."
Xu Yansheng wanted to say that the fish in the river were full of fish, and it was not easy to catch them by himself, but he suddenly thought that since the two of them moved, they could eat fresh fish from time to time, and Ning Yue would just bring them back after going out for a walk. of……
"Okay, I want to eat braised food."
The couple leisurely went down the mountain, caught two fish in the river and returned home. Ning Yue was thinking about what kind of gift she should prepare for her parents-in-law, whom she had never met before.
Because of Du Qiaoyu, an enthusiastic person, when Du Taohua's son was one month old, the villagers finally knew why Du Taohua could go home.
After Jiang Longsheng learned that she had been caught and raped by his own mother and sister, he had to accept the reality, listened to his family, and divorced her.
As for the child in her belly, although Du Taohua kept saying that it was his, the Jiang family did not believe it, especially Jiang's mother and Jiang Xiaomei, who were firmly opposed to him having this child. Jiang Xiaomei said very harshly, "Brother, if you want that child , no matter whether he is your biological child or not, you will wear this cuckold forever."
He has no children, and his brother and Du Taohua didn't hold a wedding. At most, this matter was regarded as a love affair. Jiang Longsheng took advantage. At least he slept with a big girl for nothing. With this child, let alone what others think of him. Now, it’s hard for him to get another wife!
However, Jiang Longsheng was indeed the person Du Taohua longed for and wanted to marry once she was reborn. Until Du Taohua gave birth to the child and he saw the child's appearance with his own eyes, Jiang Longsheng gave up.
I can't say that the child looks nothing like him, I can only say that they are nothing alike.
The child has single eyelids, not even double eyelids. Du Taohua and Jiang Longsheng both have double eyelids.
And Wang Shuyuan was smiling all day long, his eyes narrowed to a slit. That was not a smile, it was because he had small eyes, but Du Taohua and Jiang Longsheng both had big eyes.
Then there is the mouth, nose, and ears. There is really nothing like Jiang Longsheng.
