The happy little days of the Ye family

As soon as the autumn wind blows, it's harvest season again.

Ye Xilin thought about the two chestnut trees on Langshan Mountain again, thinking that chestnuts should be ripe in the past few days.

Chestnuts can not only be used to make cakes, but can also be made into roasted chestnuts or eaten as food. They are full of treasures.

The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Xilin and Li Guoer came to Langshan again.

Although it hasn't rained in the past few days, the vegetation on Langshan is lush and lush, and the trees and weeds are extremely luxuriant.

Moreover, this place is deserted, and cute little mushrooms can be seen everywhere on the road.

After traveling all the way here, you couldn't just bring back two bags of chestnuts, so the two of them picked mushrooms on the way.

We didn’t see many valuable russula, morels and gallinaceous mushrooms, but there were quite a few common mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms and straw mushrooms.

After stopping and walking, the two of them soon arrived at the place where the tiger palm fungus was found last time.

The tiger palm fungus cost 500 yuan per pound, so the two of them stopped walking and started rummaging around.

Li Guoer searched a lot, but unfortunately all she found were ordinary mushrooms.

Not far away, Ye Xilin had better luck and found a tiger palm fungus of about half a kilogram. It looked like it had grown recently.

It hasn't rained recently, so the places where shiitake mushrooms and black fungus used to grow are still bare.

Because they had been here once before, the two of them remembered how to get there and avoided some difficult places.

Although they were delayed a little while picking mushrooms on the road, the two of them quickly arrived at the place where the chestnut trees grew.

The big chestnut tree is very tall. There is a lot of shade under the tree, and the tree is covered with small yellow-green thorn balls.

The smaller one should have just grown in recent years. One big and one small looks like a mother and son.

The last time I came here, the small thorn balls on the tree were still green, but now they have turned yellow-green. The small round ball was also opened from the middle, revealing the chestnut inside.

At this time, there were also some fallen balls scattered on the ground.

Ye Xilin picked up a few thorn balls. After breaking them open, he saw that the chestnut kernels inside were still good, and the smile on his face became wider.

It must be because of the good weather recently, the chestnuts on the ground are all fine.

However, in the coming autumn, the dew will be heavy, and these chestnuts on the ground will probably go bad if they are not picked up.

The two of them picked up the small spiked balls on the ground and put them into the backpack behind them.

After putting away the chestnuts on the ground, Ye Xilin was about to pick some from the tree when something hit him on the shoulder.

Then there was a chestnut with its shell peeled off at my feet.

When the two of them looked up, they saw a big fluffy tail hanging from the treetops, swaying leisurely in the air.

And this big tail looked familiar to both of them.

Looking up, it turned out to be the scolding little squirrel from last time.

The little guy on the tree was holding a half-gnawed chestnut kernel in his left hand, and his right hand was empty. It turned out that the thing in his hand was the chestnut that hit Ye Xilin just now.

The little squirrel looked at the two people below with a wary expression, obviously still remembering them.

"Squeak squeak..."

The little guy still remembered his grudge, bared his teeth at Ye Xilin, gnawed half of the chestnuts, and was about to move them in his hand.

Ye Xilin was very happy to see the little squirrel, "Hey, you little guy can recognize people."

Picking up the chestnut that had just hit him at his feet, Ye Xilin broke it open and took out a complete chestnut kernel and placed it on the palm of his hand.

Ye Xilin took the chestnut left by the little squirrel in an attempt to coax it down.

"Come down, little guy, I have something to eat."

Ye Xilin had a smile on his face and looked very friendly.

Li Guo'er also restrained her aura, for fear of scaring away this cute little guy.

She didn't touch this little guy last time, and she was upset for a long time after she went back.

The little squirrel on the tree tilted its head and looked at the two people.

Seeing that they meant no harm to him, the little guy put away the chestnuts in his hands, and then carefully jumped from the treetop to Ye Xilin's shoulders.

The little squirrel tentatively ran along Ye Xilin's shoulder to his solid arm.

Then he picked up the chestnut kernels in Ye Xilin's palm and stuffed them into his mouth.

The little guy's mouth was bulging and he was eating very happily, and his big tail was swinging behind him.

Seeing that the little guy didn't show any signs of surprise, and was sitting obediently on his arm, chewing chestnuts, Ye Xilin's other hand felt itchy.

Ye Xilin happily patted the little guy's little head, and then rubbed it from his smooth back to his big fluffy tail.

This little guy eats well, is smooth and shiny, and feels very good in the hand. Ye Xilin simply can't stop holding it.

The little guy is not afraid of people and purrs comfortably.

Li Guoer on the side was very envious and walked over quietly, then reached out to touch the little guy's smooth back, and then stroked the big soft tail.

It's so soft and easier to touch than the sweet potatoes and snowballs at home.

The little guy gnawed on the chestnuts and remained motionless, and was not angry at the two men's tampering.

The two played with the little squirrel for a long time, and finally the little guy got impatient.

Holding a few chestnut kernels peeled by Li Guoer, he jumped onto the tree next door and ran away without a trace in a few swishes.

Li Guoer looked at the big tree that was still shaking in front of her, the smile on her face did not change at all:

"This little white-eyed wolf took the chestnuts and ran away."

Ye Xilin jokingly said:

"It's okay. I know where this guy's home is. When we go back, we will steal all the food from the little guy's house."

After the little squirrel ran away, the two began to work.

There is a layer of burrs on the outside of the chestnuts. If it hits someone, it will be very painful and the head will be broken. Li Guoer warned:

"Xilin, please stand on the edge. Don't stand under the chestnut tree."

Then Li Guoer found a dead tree as thick as an arm and smashed it hard on the chestnut tree.

Soon the chestnuts on the tree fell like rain.

At this time, a thick layer of small thorn balls fell on the ground, and the chestnuts and leaves on the trees were also much sparser.

Thinking that there was a greedy little squirrel nearby, about one-fifth of the chestnut and plum fruits on the tree were left.

Li Guoer thought to herself, she couldn't let this little thing starve.

The burrs on the outside of the chestnut can be used to make fire. The two of them stuffed the small fur balls on the ground into the sack.

The two planned to check out the small cave they discovered last time, but they didn't have time to pick apart the chestnuts one by one.
