In the afternoon, Chu Yue went to the medical clinic to call Lu Yufang, then took a mule cart to Banpo Village.
Also accompanying them were Tiedan and Chu Wenzhu. Yun Cuihe had to cook for several people at night, so she watched them at home.
Not long after, several people returned to Banpo Village and stopped at the old house.
"Brother Dagui, please take the mule home to feed him some food first. I'll go see my grandma. I'll come back later to take the basket and go to the mountain to have a look."
As Chu Yue said this, she pulled Xiaozhu and Lu Yufang to jump out of the mule cart.
"good."
After Lu Dagui finished speaking, he drove the mule cart up the mountain.
"Grandma, we are back!"
Lu Yufang stood outside the yard and shouted.
The people in the room heard the sound and hurriedly went out. When they saw Lu Yufang and Chu Yue, Wang Xuelan and Lu Tiesheng's faces were full of surprise.
"Yufang and Yueyue are back, come in quickly."
When they arrived at the house, Wang Xuelan poured water for the two of them. Chu Yue took a drink from the cup and took out the two new sets of clothes that Yun Cuihe had made for the two elders.
"Grandma, this dress was made by my mother. She had to take care of her family and it was inconvenient for her to come back, so she asked me to bring it back. She said it was a thank you for your hard work and you helped look after the house."
Wang Xuelan stroked the fabric of the new clothes. It was soft and comfortable. No one with less than one or two hundred yuan would not be able to make clothes made of this kind of material.
The patterns on the clothes are also beautiful. I have never seen anyone in Banpo Village wearing such fine clothes.
Although Wang Xuelan liked it in her heart, she still said, "We are not short of clothes. Your father and I still have a change of clothes. These clothes are not cheap, right?"
Chu Yue smiled lightly and said, "It's also my mother's wish. Grandpa should keep it. From now on, I will have to worry about grandpa taking care of the family."
Wang Xuelan glanced at her.
"You kid, why are you so polite to your grandma?"
After greeting each other for a while, Chu Yue checked Ping'an's pulse on the two elders before returning to her home.
I haven't been back for more than a month, but the house is still clean. I think it's because the two old people come up to clean it from time to time.
Vegetables are also planted in the vegetable plots inside and outside the courtyard, including spinach, beans, pumpkins, winter melons, and celery. The soybeans given by my grandma last year are also sown with seeds.
These vegetables were planted by Lu Dagui and Yun Cuihe when Chu Yue was still providing disaster relief. They were later handed over to Wang Xuelan and Lu Tiesheng to take care of.
"Brother Dagui, do you want to go to the mountains with us?" Chu Yue said as she walked out of the kitchen carrying a basket.
Lu Dagui hurriedly went to the kitchen, put on the basket on his back, and held Tie Dan in one hand.
"Let's go together. It's hard to come back and pick up more food to eat."
"Yueyue, are you ready?"
At this moment, Lu Yufang's voice sounded outside the hospital.
Chu Yue carried the basket and pulled Chu Wenzhu out of the courtyard, "Here we come."
Kuroki didn't take anything, but followed a few people from a distance with his sword in his arms as usual.
Chu Yue and the others had long been accustomed to his presence, so they did not pay too much attention to him.
"It rained for a while last night, and I don't know if there are any fungi growing in the mountains."
"You'll find out if you look for it."
Chu Yue held Chu Wenzhu with one hand and looked around. After the beginning of spring, many green buds appeared on the plants in the mountains, which looked full of life.
"There is a locust tree here, but it's a pity that it's nothing." She looked at the locust tree in front of her with regret on her face.
Sophora japonica can be used to make sophora japonica cakes and dumplings.
Chu Yue was not very fond of the taste of Sophora japonica before, because she hadn't eaten it for a long time, but she wanted to taste this taste.
Lu Yufang said as she walked forward, "Everyone has been hungry all winter. If there is food in the mountains, we must pick it up. I'm afraid the buds will be picked just after they grow."
Chu Wenzhu on the side suddenly pointed to the top of the tree and said, "Sister, look, there are some locust flowers there, but they are too high."
Chu Yue looked intently and saw that the Sophora japonica tree was very tall, with white petals faintly visible among the lush green leaves.
"The locust flowers bloomed really early this year."
Lu Dagui raised his head and said, "Maybe the weather is warming up quickly, and it's not like there haven't been flowers blooming in February and March in previous years."
Chu Yue hurriedly looked behind her, "Heimu, come here."
Heimu is a martial arts practitioner and has very good ears. Even though he was far away, he heard what they were saying just now. He saw him stepping on the surrounding tree trunks and jumping up to the locust tree.
Tiedan watched Heimu climb up the tree easily, and opened his mouth slightly in surprise, his eyes full of admiration and envy.
"Uncle Kuroki is so awesome!"
It can still fly.
From now on, he will have to get up earlier to practice Kung Fu, preferably at the same time as Brother Xingping and Brother Xingan. He will also be as good as Uncle Kuroki in the future!
After a while, Kuroki jumped down from the tree.
He came to Chu Yue and opened his pocket, which contained a pocket full of locust flowers.
Although the shops in the town are slowly reopening, due to the disaster last year, there are still not many people cooking.
Usually even if I want to eat something different, there is nowhere to buy it.
With a face full of joy, Chu Yue unfolded the cloth in the basket, wrapped the locust flowers and placed them at one end of the basket.
"When we get back, I'll make sophora flower cakes for you to eat."
The group of people continued walking into the mountains. The forest was very clean and they walked a long way without seeing any edible wild vegetables.
Because Kuroki was by their side, several people felt at ease and were not afraid at all because they were about to enter the deep mountains.
Chu Yue looked at the people around her.
"Let's just go around here and look for it. There's no road ahead. It's not safe to go further into the mountains."
"good."
Several people were scattered in the forest looking for him.
After a while, Chu Wenzhu found several mushrooms at the foot of a big tree.
"Sister, are these mushrooms edible?"
She heard from her sister that not all mushrooms can be eaten.
Chu Yue looked in the direction Chu Wenzhu pointed, then immediately stepped forward, reached out and picked all five mushrooms and put them into the basket.
"This is a wild mushroom, edible."
Seeing that some of the mushrooms he found were edible, Chu Wenzhu felt very happy and became more energetic in searching.
After a while, I found a few more mushrooms.
"Sister, there are more here."
The two gathered the mushrooms and put them in the basket. Chu Yue looked at Chu Wenzhu and said, "Xiao Zhu is really lucky today."
Chu Wenzhu smiled and continued searching in the mountains.
After a moment, the little girl looked back and saw Chu Yue staring intently at a dry tree stump, so she followed her gaze.
The next moment, the little girl's voice full of surprise reached her ears.
"Sister, you found the big mushroom!"
After she finished speaking, she held up her little skirt and ran in the direction of several "big mushrooms". These big mushrooms were either dark brown or gray-brown. She squatted down, reached out and touched the caps of the mushrooms. Then he gathered one up.
"Sister, these mushrooms are so hard."
