The happy little days of the Ye family

Originally, Tang Xiaojing wanted to go down directly from the back side of the mountain, so that he could walk the entire Bishan Peak today.

But behind the mountain is Fangjia Village. To go back to the village from here, you have to make a long circle.

Moreover, the ox cart was still at the foot of the mountain they had just come up from. It was really inconvenient, so the two had to return the same way.

When they went up the mountain just now, the father and son wrote down which herbs grew in which places.

On the way back, the two picked some common herbs such as nettles, wild mint, hydatidia and plantain.

Although these herbs only cost twenty or thirty cents per catty after drying, if you add up a little, you can still make a lot of money by picking more.

If not, you can still buy a few kilograms of meat and go back to satisfy your craving.

Things without owners are useless if you don’t pick them.

When they returned to the foot of the mountain, the father and son each carried a large sack on their shoulders, which contained a variety of common herbs. It was estimated that it would weigh several dozen kilograms after drying.

The baskets behind Tangshan were filled with all kinds of little guys hunted in the mountains, including 4 hares and 3 pheasants.

A basket full of meat was heavy, but Tangshan didn't feel hard at all.

The basket on Tang Xiaojing's back contained various precious herbs.

At the end of the day, the father and son collected a total of 2 Panax notoginseng, 3 Gastrodia elata, 13 Polygonum multiflorum and 1 Polygonatum spp.

There were also six wild eggs. To avoid being crushed, Tang Xiaojing specially wrapped several layers of leaves and placed them in the middle of the herbs.

Back at the foot of the mountain, the father and son were so tired that they could not straighten their backs, but both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Tangshan put down the herbs on his shoulders, "The harvest in the past two days is not bad. Although there is no wild ginseng, the total of these prey and herbs is about ten taels of silver."

"I wish I had come here earlier, all these years have been wasted." Tang Xiaojing smiled, but there was a hint of regret in his tone.

Tang Shan smiled and said: "I have been to this mountain before, and there are no such good things on the mountain."

"It's not that the mountains have been sparsely populated in recent years, and these herbs and small animals have slowly grown up. If you had come here a few years ago, you probably wouldn't have done anything."

Tang Xiaojing shrugged and felt that this was not necessarily the case: "Maybe, but it's also possible that there were more good things in the past few years. Who knows."

While talking and laughing, the father and son quickly packed up all the gains of the day.

Tang Xiaojing just untied the rope tied to the tree trunk, and the dirty little flowers and Heidou couldn't wait to jump on the bullock cart.

These two big guys helped a lot today. They caught most of the pheasants and hares.

After running in the mountains for a day, the two big guys were very tired by now.

On the way back, Tang Xiaojing happily looked back at today's harvest, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

At this moment, an idea came into his mind, "Dad, what do you think we buy this pole peak too?"

Tang Shan shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't work. The village has regulations that each household can only buy two hills at most. Our family already has Stone Mountain and Rabbit Mountain."

"But no one in the village wants this hill, so it should be fine, right?"

Tangshan still disagreed, "You think too simply. People in the village don't know there are so many pheasants, rabbits and herbs on the mountain now, but they will definitely cause trouble if they find out in the future."

"And this mountain is too far away from the village and too close to Fangjia Village. Even if we buy it, we may not be able to get the things on the mountain."

At this time, Tang Xiaojing became completely quiet.

My son has never been to this mountain before and doesn’t know much about some things, but he grew up here and he knows the situation of this pole peak best.

In front of Bigan Peak is Taohua Village, and over the mountain is Fangjia Village.

To get to this hill from the village, you have to pass through a path overgrown with weeds, and the back of Bigan Peak is directly on the edge of Fangjia Village.

It is more convenient for people in Fangjia Village to go up the mountain than for people in Taohua Village.

People in the village are not willing to buy this hill because there are many rocks on the hill and there are few places to grow things.

Another important reason is that it is too close to Fangjiacun.

People in the village are afraid that the things they grow on the mountain will be stolen by people from the next village.

Although Fangjia Village is also a relatively wealthy village, its atmosphere is not as good as that of Taohua Village. There are many low-income people and second-rate people in the village.

Although there are many small animals and some medicinal herbs in this mountain, Tangshan feels that it is not cost-effective to buy this mountain.

Tang Xiaojing listened very much to the advice, "Dad, what you said makes sense. It's good to come over occasionally to hunt and collect herbs."

When the father and son returned home, Ye Qingqing was showing off his skills on the stove with a spatula. The smoke was curling up and the smell of meat was overflowing.

In the yard, two little guys, Chenchen and Yangyang, were playing in the mud. You and I were saying some ridiculous children's words.

As soon as he saw Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing, Chenchen threw away the small toy in his hand and ran over immediately.

"Dad, grandpa, you are back!"

Yangyang, who realized it later, also walked slowly towards the door, "Dad~, Grandpa~"

Chenchen ran fast and came to him in a short while, hugging Tang Xiaojing's calf and acting coquettishly:

"Dad, Chenchen misses you so much~"

Tang Xiaojing rubbed his son's little head, "Did you listen to your mother today?"

"Yes, Chenchen is a good boy."

Yangyang, who was swaying behind him, was picked up by Tangshan.

"Yangyang, do you miss grandpa?"

"OK"

Tangshan smiled happily and gave each of his two grandchildren a candy tree, and then let them play by themselves.

Before Chenchen left, he glanced at Tang Xiaojing twice. He stretched out his little hands in front of him, but Tang Xiaojing pretended not to see it.

"Go and play by yourself, I'm busy."

"snort!"

Chenchen took her younger brother back to play in the mud beside the vines, and whispered that his father was stingy.

As soon as the brothers walked away, Ye Qingqing walked out of the kitchen.

After seeing the herbs in the backpack, Ye Qingqing's eyes widened:

“There are so many Polygonum multiflorum trees, and they are quite old. I didn’t expect that this unnoticed Bizhanfeng is still a treasure.

After a busy day, Tang Xiaojing fell asleep early.

While he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his lower body.

The sour feeling took Tang Xiaojing a while to recover.

Feeling better, Tang Xiaojing gritted his teeth and looked at the culprit sleeping beside him.

I saw Chen Chen in his sleep, punching and kicking into the air.

"Thief, if you don't just surrender and catch me, you'll give me a kick, haha..."

Tang Xiaojing was angry and slapped the brat hard on the butt:

"I usually ask you to box, but you think about being lazy every day. Now you are not allowed to practice, but you are acting serious here. I don't even think about having a sister."

Chenchen was sleeping soundly when suddenly she felt a mosquito buzzing in her ears, and punched directly in the direction of the sound with her little hand.

The room was dark. Tang Xiaojing didn't pay attention for a moment and received another punch in the face.

"You unfilial son."

Tang Xiaojing cursed and slapped the little bastard on the butt.

Unexpectedly, the little guy lay down directly, patted his arm with his little hand, and then snored.

Tang Xiaojing: "..."

If he hadn't known that this boy was usually asleep and couldn't wake up even if thunder struck, he would have thought that this boy was pretending to sleep.

After lying down, Tang Xiaojing was afraid that the unfilial son would be dishonest when sleeping, so he kicked him again and turned around to sleep with his back to him.

"You shouldn't be able to kick it now, right?"
