Chapter 15 Can you hold on for a while?
Ms. Liu looked at the sweet potato in front of her and was stunned for a while. It was Dabao. Erbao pulled the corner of her robe and she realized what she was doing.
"Mom, if I ask you to cook, you should do it quickly. When I come back and find that you are slow, I will scold you again," Dabao said.
Erbao said: "Mom, I will light a fire for you."
Dabao said: "Mom, let me wash the sweet potatoes for you. These are hard and I won't wash them bad."
"Okay, help me." Mrs. Liu took a basin, scooped out water, and started washing.
"Uncle Qi, sit next to him and don't run around." Dabao also moved a bench for Zhu Qi and asked him to sit there to prevent him from finding anyone later.
Dabao was already familiar with how to arrange Uncle Qi's arrangements.
If you want Uncle Qi to stop running around, you have to find something for him to do, otherwise others may disappear if you turn around.
"Okay." Zhu Qi responded and sat there honestly, watching them wash the sweet potatoes.
It's not that he doesn't want to move, Dabao won't let him.
"Mom, what do you think this thing will taste like when it's cooked?" Erbao looked curious. Thinking of the sweet and crunchy taste he just ate, he swallowed his saliva.
This stuff was even more delicious than the wild fruits he had eaten before. He didn’t know how his grandma and fourth aunt found it.
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't know."
"This is my first time seeing it, so of course I don't know. Why are you so anxious? You'll get to the pot later, won't you know?" Dabao said.
Erbao was unconvinced: "Didn't you swallow your saliva too? Don't you want to know what it tastes like?"
"I think so," Dabao said, "but it's not cooked well and the milk hasn't come back, so we can't eat it. If we eat it secretly, we'll get beaten."
Erbao immediately closed his mouth and sighed like an adult: "Oh... the milk is too fierce!"
Liu's hands paused for a moment, but she didn't say anything and continued washing.
In the room, Zhu Bamei drank all the tea on the table and quietly tried to open the door, but found that she could not open it.
She was a little anxious: "Sister-in-law, please open the door for me. I want to go to the latrine."
When Ms. Liu heard this, she didn't even raise her head: "I don't have the key."
"Isn't it?! Oh my God! I'm going to pee my pants!" Zhu Bamei was pacing inside, unable to hold it in any longer.
She didn't understand at all. Why should her mother lock the door so early in the morning? Isn't she at home?
Dabao listened and laughed: "Ba Gu, you can pee in the pot, but you can't get out now."
"You damn kid! Just wait, you dare to laugh at me, and see if I don't deal with you when I come out." Zhu Bamei blushed with anger.
How old is she, and she is still in the urinal? If word spreads about her, will she still have the face?
Besides, the room is only so big. If she really peed, how big would it smell?
It must be the last time Dabao wet the bed, she laughed at her, and this damn kid remembered it in his heart.
However, is something like physiological instinct something that humans can control?
In the end, Zhu Bamei had no choice but to take Dabao's "suggestion" and dig out the foot-washing basin from under the bed...
When the voice came out, Zhu Bamei was still a little ashamed. But soon, the burden on her body was lifted, and she felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, and she suddenly felt comfortable.
It was just that the smell was a bit strong, which made her feel nauseous and almost vomited.
"vomit……"
I hurriedly looked for something to cover it with, but accidentally pulled my clothes on.
Now that's good, if the clothes fall into the basin, what else will happen?
All wet.
"vomit……"
Zhu Bamei felt disgusted.
On the other side, Old Man Zhu took his sons and daughters-in-law and followed Mr. Li up the mountain.
When he found that the road seemed to be different from the one he had taken before, his face changed slightly: "Old Si family, how can you walk around in the mountains? Don't you know that Taidang Mountain is dangerous? If anything happens, you should not be called every day.
If the earth is not working properly, you have to deal with it here."
Li ignored her father-in-law's words and said, "You didn't wander around. I just came out of here."
"This road is not the one we took before. Don't you know how many people died in Taidang Mountain before? After so many people died, don't you have any brains?"
When she heard her father-in-law scolding, Mrs. Li fell silent and murmured in her heart: If you have the ability, yell at your mother-in-law. Do you dare?
--cut!
——Just yell at me, will it help?
——Wait until you are more fierce than your mother-in-law.
When they started digging wild vegetables, they didn't really feel that they had gone too deep. When Li walked out with the sweet potatoes on his back, he did realize that they seemed to have gone a little deep.
If it weren't for the traces left by them digging wild vegetables on the road, I might have gotten lost.
As the forest went deeper and deeper, Old Man Zhu felt a little scared. Just when he was about to call Mr. Li to stop going inside, Mr. Li finally said: "We're here."
Then he happily left them behind and ran forward.
"Mom, I brought them here."
Ye Yuran was sitting next to a pile of sweet potatoes, chewing on half of a sweet potato. It was almost time for lunch. After a busy morning, can you not be hungry?
"Coming? Okay, dig quickly." Ye Yuran stood up and told them which sweet potato leaf was the sweet potato leaf and where to start digging.
Zhu Si looked surprised: "I found this fruit growing on a tree. It turned out to be found in the ground. No wonder my mother-in-law asked us to bring a small hoe."
The hoe at this time was still relatively primitive. It was more like an iron palladium than a hoe, a bit like a wider spatula, with the front bent.
Ye Yuran was very glad that at least it was not straight, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort to step on and dig it with your feet.
"Don't throw these leaves away. They can be used to feed the pigs. We go to the mountains every day and it's not easy to get rid of pig grass."
"Be careful when digging. Try not to break it. If it is broken, it will break easily. Only this kind of repaired hole can be left in the winter."
With the help of people, Ye Yuran no longer wanted to do the work and left it directly to them.
Anyway, these men are used to working. Now that there is ready-made food for them to collect, they will definitely be happy.
Upon hearing this, Zhu San quickly confirmed: "Mom, can it really be kept for so long?"
"Just don't dig it out."
"Sure, mother, I know, I promise not to dig it out." Zhu San immediately confirmed.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er were busy working.
The man was responsible for digging, while Liu, Li, and Lin were responsible for removing the mud from the sweet potatoes and putting them into the baskets.
Seeing so much food, Mrs. Liu's eyes were filled with joy. She was still evaluating in her mind. She didn't know if this food could fill her stomach. If it could, how long could it last for so much?
Even if you have one per person, you can still eat several meals, right?
Mrs. Lin is very happy. She just got married and doesn't know the situation of the Zhu family, but who wouldn't be happy if they have more food?
When Old Man Zhu saw so many sweet potatoes, he felt somewhat relieved.
God knows that this year will be a bit rough. He has been worried that this year's harvest will not be as good as last year. There is another mouth in the family, and the two little ones have grown up and can eat better. By then...
