The sun is rising and it’s another busy day.
Yu Ying then tore off her shirt, which was already out of shape. He tore a strip of cloth and gave it to Fu An and asked him to cover Luo Shi's eyes.
When Yu Ying put her basket on her back and was about to go out to pick plum blossoms, Fu An said that she wanted to go too.
He puffed out his thin chest, looked like a little man, and said in a loud voice: "I will not be shameless and eat your food in vain. I am also capable of working. If you go into the mountains, I will go in."
Yu Ying glanced at Fu An. Although he was small, he was very capable and was not necessarily a burden.
It's just that the mountains are very dangerous, so I still have some concerns about taking him with me.
She glanced at Roche. Seeing Luo Shi's hesitant expression, he knew that he was worried about his grandson, but he didn't know how to speak.
Yu Ying didn't hesitate anymore and said, "No need."
But who knew that Fu An was a stubborn person, but he said: "Then I don't need you to take me with you. It's not like I haven't been there myself!"
Luo Shi remembered that his grandson secretly ran into the mountains for his stuttering, so he became anxious when he heard it: "How can you go by yourself? If you want to go, you can only go with your aunt!"
Yu Ying:......
After a moment of silence, she looked at Fu An and said, "If you want to enter the mountain, you must listen to me, otherwise you will go into the mountain by yourself."
But Fu An didn't hesitate at all and said, "If you are willing to take me there, I will listen to you."
Yu Ying exhaled and asked him to get ready: "Find a stick and hold it in your hand. Pick a few pieces of mint and rub the juice into it and apply it on your ankles, wrists, and the top of your neck to prevent mosquito bites in the mountains."
Hearing this, Fu An quickly picked a few leaves, rubbed them vigorously in his palms, and then applied them to the places Yu Ying mentioned. After applying them, he also found a thicker dead branch.
Yu Ying glanced at Fu'an, who had been prepared, and was about to go out. Suddenly she seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at the little tail behind her, and bent down to face her.
His face was serious, but his voice was gentle: "You can't go into the mountain. Just wait at home for us to come back."
When Fu Ning heard that she couldn't go, his face suddenly became listless.
I washed my face and combed my messy hair neatly. After braiding my hair, my face suddenly became more delicate. If you keep up with your nutrition and gradually make your face whiter and fatter, you will definitely be a beautiful little girl in the future.
With a fairy-like uncle like Fu Wei, the appearance of the two children will not be much different.
Yu Ying thought for a while, but still didn't trust the little girl, so she pulled her to Luo Shi's side and told her again: "Wait at home with grandma. When I come back, I will make jelly for you."
Although the little girl was reluctant, she still nodded.
Yu Ying carried the basket and Fu An out of the house. The old and the young were walking on the road, making people look at them a few times.
Yu Ying still went to the place where she picked sage fruits the day before yesterday.
She didn't pick much that day, and she didn't pick any that were unripe. They should be ripe in two days. A large patch of lily fruits would allow her to make jelly several times.
Yu Ying split the thorny bush and asked Fu An to follow her.
When he started picking fruits, Yu Ying taught him how to distinguish male and female fruits: "Fruit has a flat surface, the one with a round bottom is a male, and the one with an oval bottom is a female fruit. This kind of fruit is a female fruit."
Yu Ying picked one and showed it to him.
Fu An was stunned for a few breaths, and then he said in surprise: "Why are the fruits divided into male and female?!"
Yu Ying remembered that she had asked her grandfather the same question when she was a child. She felt a little nostalgic for a moment, and the look on her face gradually became gentle: "There are many magical things in the world. For example, there is an animal in the sea called Haima, also called Luolongzi. They are the offspring of males, and of course females are also required, but the offspring are all born from males.”
Fu An's eyes widened in surprise, and then he said: "You must be tricking me.
Yu Ying's voice was slow: "If you haven't seen something before, it may not be fake, it's just that you haven't seen it yet."
Fu An was still dubious, and Yu Ying did not continue to educate him about science, but started to work.
Fu An glanced at Yu Ying who was picking carefully beside him, thought for a while, and asked: "Then how do you know?"
“The more you see, the more you will know more, and you will naturally understand.”
Fu An curled his lips, thinking that this answer was the same as no answer, so he didn't ask any more questions, but went to pick the fruits and judge them according to what she said.
Although she didn't ask any more questions, she still couldn't help but think about the truth or falsehood of what she just said.
If it was true, how many things in this world did he not know?
Thinking of what she said, one can learn more after seeing more, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Lingshui Village.
But if he lived in Lingshui Village all his life, how could he have the opportunity to see all those strange things?
The two of them quickly filled their baskets to about seventy percent full, and Yu Ying stopped picking and went to look for some herbs.
Fu An carefully identified the herbs she picked, then rummaged through the weeds, and when he found them, he pulled out all the roots.
Although he is small, he is very powerful.
Yu Ying saw that it was almost done, and when she was about to go back, Fu An suddenly heard a voice of surprise: "Come here and take a look, what is this?!"
Yu Ying turned around and saw Fu An, a few feet away, poking at the weeds with a stick, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
Yu Ying walked over curiously, and when she got closer, she discovered that it was a nest of eggs. The eggs in this nest are larger than quail eggs, about ten or so.
Yu Ying was afraid of any danger nearby and wouldn't let him in, but she walked in cautiously. After taking a closer look, I found that there were gray-brown feathers around the egg nest, which should be the nest of wild pheasant eggs.
Yu Ying was overjoyed. She knelt down to pick up the wild pheasant eggs and said to Fu An, "Come here and put these eggs in your clothes."
Fu An immediately lifted up his clothes and stood beside her.
Yu Ying picked them up one by one and put them into Fu An's clothes gently.
After picking up eleven eggs and there were still four in the nest, Yu Ying stopped.
"Why didn't you pick it up?" Fu An wondered.
Yu Ying covered the egg nest with weeds and said, "You have to leave a thin line when doing things. Eggs will breed pheasants, and pheasants will lay eggs, so there will be an inexhaustible supply."
Fu An pondered the meaning of this sentence for a moment, but because he had not yet understood such a profound truth at his age, he did not understand it well.
Yu Ying glanced at him and didn't explain much.
Then he looked at the wild pheasant eggs in his arms, with a smile on his face: "When I get back, I'll make nightshade and egg drop soup."
She picked a small handful of common white cauliflower, also called fake chili cauliflower, and used it to make egg drop soup, which was not only delicious but also extremely nutritious.
Today was a fruitful day. I returned to Fu's house. Before I even entered the yard, Fu An's excited voice came into the yard: "Grandma, sister, I'm back!"
Hearing the sound, Fu Ning, who was playing in the dirt, immediately stood up and looked out of the yard. When he saw them coming back, he trotted out.
Fu An saw his sister running towards him like a little butterfly, and he trotted towards her happily, but the next moment, his sister walked right past him and ran towards Yu behind him.
Fu An's smiling face suddenly stiffened.
Fu Ning ran up to Yu Ying, raised her little face, and looked at her with dazzling big eyes, full of expectation.
Yu Ying saw that her face was dirty again, and he knew that she had gone to play in the dirt in the yard by herself again.
Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, Yu Ying smiled and said warmly, "Let's go back and make delicious food."
The little girl also had a smile on her face, and then she timidly reached out and pulled Yu Ying's sleeve.
Yu Ying glanced at the hand in her sleeve, then opened her hand, took her little hand, and walked into the yard.
When Fu Ning saw his sister getting close to others and no longer getting close to him, her head drooped and her face fell.
Not happy anymore.
After returning to the yard, Yu Ying took out a few handfuls of rice, put half a can of water in to cook porridge, and asked Fu An to watch the fire before she went to pack everything away.
It's not thick or thin, just right. I put in three or four red mushrooms and cooked it for a while before putting the pot on the stove on the ground. While the porridge was still boiling, Yu Ying cracked three wild pheasant eggs and stirred them into the porridge. Finally, she added salt. The aroma suddenly spread out in the courtyard.
The fragrance fills the courtyard.
