The happy little days of the Ye family

After resting, Ye Qingqing and his wife resumed picking mushrooms.

The family's long-term workers haven't started picking the mushrooms halfway up the mountain yet, and there are obviously many more mushrooms than those below.

Bright red mushrooms can be seen everywhere, and you can find one within a few steps.

Although they are not big in size, they are more numerous and can be used to stir-fry a plate of vegetables together.

Fresh red mushrooms cost 30 cents per pound. Although they are more expensive than ordinary mushrooms, they are picked in the mountains, so you don’t feel bad eating a plate of them yourself.

However, if a pound of tiger palm fungus costs 500 yuan, Ye Qingqing would definitely be reluctant to eat it at home.

Tang Xiaojing found a mushroom nest under a piece of dry grass, a dense straw mushroom.

But half of them had just grown out and were still too small. Tang Xiaojing only picked some big ones and kept the rest to continue growing.

Although the tiger palm fungus, which costs 500 yuan per pound, was not found, other mushrooms popped up one after another.

Soon the large backpacks behind them were full.

The two of them were busy picking mushrooms on the mountain, while Chenchen at home was walking obediently.

Although the little guy doesn't like to punch and strut, he is afraid of being beaten, so even if Tang Xiaojing is not at home, he still struts obediently.

His father's beating hurts, and if he's caught slacking off, he might even be punished.

On the other side of the Ye family, Xiao Qi didn't have this worry. She hurried out carrying a small basket as soon as she had breakfast.

When Wang Chunyu behind him saw it, he quickly chased after him and asked, "Where are you going with the basket?"

Xiaoqi opened her mouth and said: "I'm going to go find Ergouzi to play."

He really went to Ergouzi to do it, and he wasn't lying.

Hearing that this little guy was looking for friends to play with, Wang Chunyu didn't say much.

Xiao Qi first went to Er Gouzi's house, called him out, picked them up and then went to find Er Ya.

On the way, Xiao Qi also said many nice words to compliment Er Gouzi.

There was no other way. Only he and Erya followed his family to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Without them to lead the way, he would not have known how to go to the mountains.

It was even more difficult to ask for directions. People in the village might have driven me back home before I even reached the mountain.

The people in the village are all big talkers. Even if they are not driven back, the family members will probably rush over to take them back.

After calling Erya, the three little guys swarmed to Wang's house and called out Little Shitou.

The last group of people came to Tang's house to look for Chenchen.

"Chenchen, we are here!" Xiao Qi did not go in, but stood at the door and shouted loudly.

"Morning morning, morning morning~"

At this time, Chenchen was striding, and his thighs were extremely sore. As soon as he heard Xiao Qi's voice, he ran out immediately.

"Come on, come on."

Before the little guy went out, he specifically said to Aunt Chen: "Grandma Chen, my brother and I are going out to play."

"Go on, be careful, don't talk to people you don't know, and don't go play in the river."

"I know, Yangyang thanks Grandma Chen for taking care of her."

"You little guy, you're not very old, but you're very nice to talk to." Aunt Chen raised the corners of her mouth, and it seemed that she was very helpful.

Today I went out to pick mushrooms. Chenchen also carried a small basket before going out.

Originally, he wanted to carry a basket on his back, but the basket was about the same height as him and he couldn't carry it at all, so he had to take a small basket.

After coming out, Chenchen took out the candy from his pocket, and there was just one piece for each person.

Eating sweets, the smiles on the faces of the little guys became brighter and their steps became a little brisker.

On the way, Ergouzi and Erya kept talking to each other, leaving the other three friends talking about the situation on the mountain.

"The back mountain is shared by the village. Anyone in the village can go up the mountain. It is estimated that half of the people in the village are picking mushrooms on the mountain today." Erya said with a smile.

"In addition to mushrooms, there are also pheasants and rabbits on the mountain. My father even shot a big pheasant before, and it was delicious."

Er Gouzi's mouth started to water when he thought of the braised cockerel last time.

"Why don't we work together to hunt a pheasant later? I box and step every day now, and I'm really good at it."

Since practicing martial arts with Tang Xiaojing, Xiao Qi feels that she is very powerful. She feels that she is a martial arts hero all day long.

"Will there be wild beasts on the mountain? Is it dangerous?" Chenchen asked in a sweet voice, fearing that everyone would be in danger.

Ergouzi: "It's okay. The mountains behind are just pheasants and rabbits, no big ones. And everyone in the village is here. It's okay. I've been there several times."

Erya: "Yes, the back mountain is very safe. My eldest sister and I even went to dig wild vegetables in the mountain."

Hearing that there were no big guys in the back mountain, Chenchen felt relieved and trotted all the way, preparing to go up the mountain to collect more mushrooms.

I thought to myself: It would be even better if I could really find the big fragrant mushroom from yesterday.

On the way Erya said again: "In addition to mushrooms, there is also a large bamboo forest on the mountain. The bamboos there are tall and thick, and the bamboo shoots are thicker than my thighs."

Speaking of bamboo shoots, Xiao Qi danced and gestured to the bamboo shoots Ye Xilin brought back yesterday:

"My uncle dug up a lot of bamboo shoots yesterday. They were bigger than my head. I couldn't even lift any of them."

The three older ones were chattering along the way. Xiao Shitou and Chenchen were more reserved and didn't talk much on the way.

Although the little guys have different personalities, they can play together. No matter where they go, the five of them are together.

The few little beans were chatting and laughing, and soon arrived at the foot of the back mountain.

As expected, there were many people in the back mountain at this time. Not to mention the mountain, there were also many children by the stream hunting pigweed and digging wild vegetables.

From the foot of the mountain up, mushroom pickers are scattered everywhere. From the bamboo forest in the distance, there were also bursts of voices.

As soon as the little guys reached the foot of the mountain, they met a woman from the village.

The woman was also kind-hearted. Seeing that there were no adults around the little guys, she quickly stopped these bold little brats.

"You little guys, who came with whom? Although there are no big guys on the mountain, it is not safe, so don't run around."

Xiao Qi immediately rushed to the front and said calmly:

"My uncle is here too. He is picking mushrooms in front, and we are playing here."

"Uncle? The second son of the Ye family, right?" Suddenly seeing that Xiao Qi was speaking the truth, the woman believed it.

"Yes, aunt, do you know my uncle?"

"We are all from the same village, why don't we know each other? You guys, stop running around and go to your uncle's place quickly. The weather is getting hot, so you must not run around to play in the water."

There was a creek next to it, and the water was quite deep. The woman was afraid that some little guys would run into the water and play in the water without knowing the importance, so she gave special instructions.

"You know, let's go find my uncle right now."

Saying that, Xiaoqi quickly pulled Erya, who was still in a daze, and ran up the mountain with a few little beans.

The little guys didn't stop until the woman was no longer visible.

Xiao Qi looked at the woman's walking figure and smiled very proudly: "Hahaha, that aunt is too stupid."

Erya gave Xiaoqi a thumbs up, and the little girl's face was full of admiration:

"Xiao Qi, you are so awesome. You are not afraid at all. I was so panicked just now that I didn't dare to speak."

"What's the matter? When you go back tonight, you must be tight-lipped and don't let anything slip."

Although Xiao Qi is not afraid of being beaten, it would be better if he could be beaten less often.
