If there is a doorway with many stones, several families nearby will sit there and chat together.
Sometimes after eating and washing the dishes, everyone would come out to continue chatting.
There are not many entertainment activities these days, and this situation is very common in the village.
After returning home, the family entered the main room and washed their hands and faces one by one.
Zhao Yulan called Qin Yun away and went to the West Room.
Qin Li and Qin Ying looked behind them, not daring to say anything.
Qin Dazhu and his two children said, "Xiaoyun picked a lot of wild vegetables today. How about we steam an extra vegetable tonight?"
"Okay, okay! I'm hungry, Dad."
As soon as he heard about the food, Qin Ying's attention was immediately diverted.
"Are you hungry? Wait a little longer until your mother and sister come over to do it together."
It's not that Qin Dazhu doesn't know how to do it, but it's Zhao Yulan or Qin Yun who has the final say on how much food he uses every day.
He was not very accurate in getting food, and once he poured enough cornmeal for three dinners into the pot in one meal.
Another time, even more shockingly, he had prepaid dinner for a week.
Therefore, Qin Dazhu really has no talent in this area.
Qin Li said from the side: "Dad, let's wash the vegetables first."
"Well, let's go to the yard to clean up the basket of vegetables first and remove the big chunks of soil from under the roots. We will also save some vegetables for dinner and put the rest in the east room."
When the father and son were sitting on a small bench in the yard, they were gathering the baskets of wild vegetables.
They discovered that none of these wild vegetables had any roots, let alone any clods of soil underneath.
Qin Dazhu thought it was only the upper layer that was like this, but it turned out that most of the wild vegetables at the bottom looked relatively clean and intact without roots.
"Dad, what is this? It looks a bit like a mushroom. Aren't the mushrooms in the mountains poisonous? Why did my sister pick this thing back?"
Qin Dazhu couldn't help but smile when he saw the oyster mushrooms in the bamboo basket.
"This is an oyster mushroom. It's not poisonous. It doesn't grow very often here, and it's relatively rare in the mountains. Xiaoyun is really lucky."
Qin Li looked proud, "That's her sister, no matter who it is."
"That's still my daughter."
Qin Ying came over at some point and said, "Dad, I want to eat this mushroom."
Qin Dazhu was about to agree, but paused and said, "Yingying, if you want to eat this for dinner, we have to ask your mother and your sister first, you know?"
"Okay, my sister will definitely let me eat it."
Westinghouse.
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the room, Zhao Yulan first touched Qin Yun's forehead to confirm that she had no fever, and then looked around her body.
"Mom, I'm fine."
"Of course I know you're fine. You're getting more and more courageous. Tell me, you went into the mountains alone without telling me. Do you know that you must tell me next time?"
"I promise I will definitely say hello to you before entering the mountains next time. Don't worry."
The mother and daughter exchanged pleasantries for a few more words before arriving in the yard.
Qin Dazhu told Zhao Yulan about the oyster mushrooms in the basket.
Qin Ying tugged at the corner of Qin Yun's clothes and looked at her eagerly, "Sister, I want to eat that mushroom."
Over there, Zhao Yulan was about to say save it for tomorrow morning and lunch, otherwise there would be no energy to work tomorrow.
Qin Yun has already agreed to his sister.
"Eat it, definitely eat it. If you look at it, you won't be able to put it away. If it goes bad, you can't eat it."
What else could Zhao Yulan say? Anyway, her daughter had found the things and it was good to eat them, so she wouldn’t have to worry about them.
"Mom, there are so many mushrooms, I can't finish them in one meal. Let's eat a little tonight, and the rest will be enough for tomorrow morning and tomorrow's lunch."
These words touched Zhao Yulan's heart, and the side dishes for the first two meals tomorrow were ready.
After that, the family started preparing dinner.
Corn batter batter plus steamed wild vegetables and steamed oyster mushrooms.
During dinner.
Qin Dazhu and Zhao Yulan were sitting at the door eating.
The neighbors noticed that they were chewing other things while drinking corn paste, so they asked Qin Dazhu what delicious food he was eating.
He smiled proudly and said: "My daughter picked wild vegetables from the mountains today, and there are also some oyster mushrooms. There are too few oyster mushrooms and they are not resistant to storage. I will eat the remaining ones tomorrow."
"Can you still find oyster mushrooms in the mountains? I haven't seen them in many years."
"No, my daughter is also lucky and we happened to meet her."
Qin Dazhu sneered in front of his neighbors.
Zhao Yulan has a low-key temperament and doesn't like to show off. Besides, it's not something that needs to be shown off.
She came back with the dishes and chopsticks to clean the pots and pans.
Qin Yun originally wanted to wash it for her, but Zhao Yulan said that she washed slowly and asked her to go out with her younger brothers and sisters.
It's getting dark outside, so there's actually nothing much to do.
But no matter the adults or children in the village, they couldn't sleep at this point.
The adults gathered together to chat and kill time, while the children gathered together to play games.
Qin Yun sat on the stone by the roadside, looking at his younger brothers and sisters, while thinking about how to improve the Qin family's life.
But after much thought, she still couldn't think of any good solution.
Even if she could find an excuse to take out all the cooked and raw food stored in the space, a family of five would not be able to survive for half a year even if they save some food.
In the memory of the original owner, she had never had enough food at this time.
When she turned sixteen, she was finally able to work in a brigade, but in the second half of that year she was preparing to go to high school.
In fact, she no longer wanted to study at that time.
Because the family was so poor that they couldn't find the reason to continue reading, but her mother, Zhao Yulan, insisted on letting her go.
Later, she went to college, got married and divorced, but her parents were losing weight day by day.
My younger brother and younger sister also had poor health and often got sick because they didn't have enough to eat when they were young.
The partners they found were also hard to explain, despising them as a drag, and eventually they got divorced.
The original owner himself was not in a good condition at the time and could not help them.
Later, she found a way to start a small business on her own, accumulating bit by bit, and gradually expanded the business, and money became a number to her.
She is also more able to take care of her younger siblings who are in poor health.
But even so, she could not save her relatives, and in the end she was left alone.
"Forget it, I'll just rely on the mountains to eat. I'll go into the mountains early tomorrow morning to look for food. I don't believe there's nothing else to eat besides those grasses."
"Well, go ahead Dayun, I support you!"
"Qin Xiaoyu, go read more posts on the mall's forum and help me see what other food I can pick."
Qin Yun paused and then added: "You can look at it from any era, as long as it's from the Dharma-ending world."
"But the mountains in Qinjia Village are full of herbs and wild vegetables. Look at the wild vegetables you picked yesterday, there are several kinds that can be used as herbs. The season for other wild fruits and so on has not yet arrived. There is no such thing in the mountains..."
