In the next two days, Qiao Nianyao followed her master into the mountains to identify and collect herbs.
Basically there is something gained every day.
For example, I dug up another old wild ginseng tree the next day.
Of course, it was because Qiao Nianyao had restrained herself and didn't want to scare her master, so it was just this one.
The rest were miscellaneous medicinal materials. Of course, Qiao Nianyao did not forget to carry a basket of wild eggs home from the mountains.
Today was the third day into the mountains and I encountered two more trees.
One of them was discovered by the little old man, well, it was Qiao Nianyao's guidance.
But the little old man was very happy.
Family members, who can understand that old ginseng from deep mountains, which you would never see even a single tree on weekdays, is now appearing in large numbers!
But the old man wouldn't let his sloppy disciple take action, he would do it himself.
Qiao Nianyao left him alone. After leaving it to his old man to dig for it, she went to collect herbs and wild eggs by herself.
Yesterday she picked up a big basket and brought it back. There was no shortage at home, so she picked it up today and brought it over to Lao Zhou's house when she got home.
It's already late at this time, it's time to get off work.
"Yao Yao, where did you get the wild eggs?" Chen Guihua looked at it and asked hurriedly.
Qiao Nianyao: "Mr. Ma and I went into the mountains to collect herbs, and we came across a pheasant nest. I stopped being polite to them and picked them all up."
She looked at sisters Lin Xiaohong and Lin Xiaoyue, and smiled: "I'll bring this basket of wild eggs for you to replenish."
There aren't many wild eggs in such a basket, but they weigh about three or four pounds.
It is also a rare source of nutrition.
"Auntie, we have something to eat. You can take it back and give it to your cousin." Lin Xiaohong said hurriedly.
Lin Xiaoyue also nodded, "We have some."
The chickens raised at home have also entered the egg-laying period. Although they cannot compare with the hens raised by Qiao Nianyao, they can still collect three to five eggs every day.
Aunt Song is a very successful woman. One of them wants to nurse a child and the other is pregnant, so they have a supply of eggs every other day.
Doudou and his great-nephews share a bowl of egg custard every day. Since they are all growing, it is considered a special treat.
As for others, including Aunt Song, they will be gone, and other eggs will be saved.
When you save enough to share one for the whole family, you can make up for it together for the whole family.
So basically there are no eggs that can be exchanged at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Unless the whole family is reluctant to eat, there will be no eggs left.
In the past, Aunt Song was reluctant to eat because her conditions were limited.
It was also because Chen Guihua subsidized her natal family after taking charge of the family, which caused her vitality to be severely damaged. Of course, Aunt Song had to cut back on her clothing and diet after taking over the family again.
But now it's relaxed.
Zhou Dong and Zhou Liang would also catch eels or loaches to take home, and occasionally they could bring back a fish.
For example, right now, the two brothers are not at home. After work, they went to see if there were any eels in the traps set yesterday?
Aunt Song came from the backyard when she heard the commotion and saw her niece-in-law bringing so many wild eggs. She quickly said: "Yao Yao, take them back, so that we can eat them at home."
Qiao Nianyao smiled and said: "Auntie, don't tell me this. I really have it at home. I just picked up a basket yesterday. You keep this basket for everyone to replenish. If you do farm work like this, you won't get some eggs to replenish it." It’s not possible to make up for it.”
Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to reject her, Chen Guihua hurriedly said: "Mom, please stay. This is also Yaoyao's wish. Dashan, Zhou Dong and Zhou Liang have to make up for themselves. They work hard and are tired every day. Just like dogs, they can’t eat eggs at home.”
The eggs at home are closely related to children and women.
Of course, she was not in the category of women, and she didn’t have to eat.
However, Aunt Song also feels sorry for her son and grandson, and she will definitely not tire them out. She occasionally has eggs to eat, and she will also cook more rice for them to eat more.
"Sister-in-law is right, keep it. Auntie, don't push me." Qiao Nianyao knew that she was tired from farm work, so she kept the basket of wild eggs.
Aunt Song didn't say anything else and cooked wild eggs for everyone in the family that night.
No need to fry or anything, just boil it directly in the pot. The wild eggs cooked in this way are also very solid.
When Zhou Dong, Zhou Liang and others came back empty-handed, they saw that in addition to dinner, everyone also shared a wild egg. They were a little surprised, "Miscellaneous, where did the wild eggs come from?"
Of course they knew the wild eggs, they had often gone to the mountains with their cousin to make tooth sacrifices.
They also learned how to catch eels in traps from their cousin Song Qingfeng, but they didn't catch them every time. They only caught them every now and then, and not today.
"Eat whatever your cousin brings over." Aunt Song also knew that it was not easy for her son and grandson.
But that's how life is. It's pretty good to be able to live such a stable life now. Aunt Song is very lucky.
Dinner is just a bowl of bean paste for each person, but tonight there is an extra wild egg for dinner.
"Does it smell good?" Chen Guihua asked Zhou Dashan.
Zhou Dashan ate his small wild egg in one bite, "Smells delicious!"
"What do you mean? I didn't steal it from you!" Chen Guihua glared at him angrily: "I am the biggest contributor to keeping this basket of wild eggs today."
If she hadn't cleverly moved the man's son out, her mother-in-law would have felt sorry for them, but she would have pushed away the basket of wild eggs.
"The wild eggs were picked up by my cousin and she brought them over. What does this have to do with you?" Zhou Dashan was confused.
"Mom is planning to push it!"
"My cousin will keep it. She took it and gave it to her sincerely." Zhou Dashan replied.
He also knows what kind of behavior Qiao Nianyao has. He has taken it all over and will not take it back again.
Chen Guihua couldn't refute, this terrible man!
"Mom, hurry up and eat." Zhou Dong couldn't listen anymore.
Chen Guihua pouted, "No one in the whole family feels sorry for me!"
Zhou Dashan was too lazy to pay attention to her, wiped his mouth after eating and left.
As for brothers Zhou Dong and Zhou Liang, they were also speechless. We were all alone, so why should we feel sorry for each other?
Aunt Song was also extremely speechless.
She felt that this daughter-in-law was really a shameless piece of meat who could say anything in front of the whole family, especially the two daughters-in-law!
She doesn't even know how to keep the dignity of being a mother-in-law to herself.
Sisters Lin Xiaohong and Lin Xiaoyue looked at each other, but they saw and heard nothing.
After all, it has been a long time since I entered the house.
What else could they expect from their mother-in-law, who was secretly trying to get some eggs while they were in confinement?
No matter what words came out of her mouth, they wouldn't be too surprised.
I just hope that grandma will live a long life and be the master of the family!
They don't want to let this mother-in-law take charge of the family at all. In that case, the whole family will have to suffer from the northwest wind.
