Chen Chen walked quickly up the mountain with a backpack on his back, setting up a few small traps, hoping to catch pheasants or rabbits. Soon, Chen Chen arrived at the place where he picked pears in previous years.

Seeing that the pear tree was full of wild pears, I guess no one had visited it yet.

This wild pear is not very big, about the size of a quail egg. Except for children, adults don’t like to eat it. It tastes sour and astringent with only a slight sweetness.

In previous years, Chen Chen would pick some to comfort his children. This year, Chen Xiaomin was pregnant, so he wanted to pick some to satisfy her craving.

After picking some wild pears, Chen Chen did not go into the deep mountains but wandered around nearby. There was not enough time to go into the deep mountains.

He held a wooden stick in his left hand and a sickle in his right hand, and would hit the grass when he saw it was too dense.

At this time, he heard the sound of a chicken crowing, it seemed to be a pheasant, and the sound was like the sound of a chicken after laying an egg.

Chen Chen looked around and saw a pheasant in the grass not far away. He quickly poured out the wild pears in his backpack.

He walked over carefully holding the backpack, and when he got close to the pheasant, he pounced on it quickly and put the pheasant in the backpack.

Click.

There was a sound of eggs breaking. Chen Chen lifted the backpack a little, reached in to catch the pheasant, and then took the backpack away.

When I picked up the pheasant, I saw there were twelve pheasant eggs in the nest. The two eggs on the edge were crushed, and the other eggs also had cracks to varying degrees.

Chen Chen felt regretful when he saw this. It was all his fault for being too rough. He couldn't even pick up the two pheasant eggs. What a waste!

The pheasant clucked and tried to struggle away.

Chen Chen flattened the pheasant's head with the back of a knife, tore off some wild grass, wrapped the pheasant and put it in the backpack, and then spread more wild grass before putting the pheasant eggs in the backpack and covering it.

He picked up the backpack, turned around, put the wild pear in his pocket, and walked quickly down the mountain.

When he returned home, Chen Xiaomin had just woken up. Hearing the noise, she quickly got up and came out.

"Achen, you're back. How's it going? Did you gain anything?"

"We have a good harvest. Let's go into the house first." Chen Chen walked into the kitchen and put down the backpack.

First, he put the pheasant eggs in a bowl, and then took out the pheasant.

"Pheasant!" Chen Xiaomin said in surprise.

Originally, Chen Chen had only been out for more than an hour, and she didn't expect him to catch any prey. She thought it would be good enough to get some wild fruits. Unexpectedly, he actually caught a pheasant.

Chen Ting and Haitao also walked in. They were obviously surprised to see the pheasant. They had just slept for a short time!

"Brother, you are so capable. I was just taking a nap, and you caught a pheasant." Chen Ting patted Chen Chen's chest and said with a smile.

"Pheasants are easy to catch. For me, it's just a matter of sprinkling water!" Chen Chen is also very experienced in catching pheasants and rabbits.

Haitao pounced on Chen Chen's thigh, looked up at him and said, "Dad, you are so awesome."

Seeing his son looking at him with admiration, Chen Chen felt a sense of accomplishment. He patted his head and said, "I have a few more pheasant eggs. I'll ask Mom to cook them for you later."

Turning to Chen Xiaomin, he said, "Xiaomin, wait a moment while everyone else is at work. Boil some water to remove the chicken feathers and cook the pheasant eggs. I'll do the rest when I get back."

"I understand." Chen Xiaomin said.

Chen Chen said to Chen Ting, "Let's go! Let's go to work."

"Take the kettle." Chen Ting said as she handed him the kettle.

Deng Qingling had no idea what was happening in Chen Chen's family. She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the children.

The three children were clamoring to go to Haitao's house to play, which made her feel overwhelmed.

"Didn't we just go to his house this morning? Can't you let me have a good nap?" Deng Qingling said.

I really wanted to hang them up and beat them up, but then I thought better of it. If three children cried together, I would probably deafen my ears.

"You had breakfast in the morning, so why do you need to eat at noon?" Guo Haochen said.

"How can eating be the same as going out for fun?" Deng Qingling was speechless.

"Why is it different? I have to eat every day and go out to play every day. What else can I do if I don't go out to play?" Guo Haochen said.

Deng Qingling: "You're right." These days, without TV, cell phones, or toys, children really have nothing to do.

There was no point in saying more, so Deng Qingling had no choice but to wash her face and take the children out.

When they arrived at Chen Chen's house, Chen Xiaomin and Haitao were eating pheasant eggs in the main room.

"Sister-in-law, you are here! We have some pheasant eggs, come and have some." Chen Xiaomin waved her hand and asked the children to come over and get the pheasant eggs.

The children all looked at their mother. Deng Qingling said that when you go to someone else's house, you can't just take other people's food. If you eat it, they will have nothing left.

"Why are you looking at your mother? Eat quickly." Seeing them like this, Chen Xiaomin stuffed the pheasant eggs into their hands.

The child held the pheasant eggs and looked at Deng Qingling with longing eyes.

"Hurry up and thank your aunt." Deng Qingling said.

"Thank you, Auntie." The children said in unison.

Deng Qingling thought that her family had enough food, but children were just greedy for other people's food. Xiao Min was about to give birth, so she had to bring some food over next time. If her own children came to play often, she was afraid that they would eat a lot of other people's food.

"Be good and eat quickly!" Chen Xiaomin said with a smile.

Soon the children finished eating the pheasant eggs and went out to play.

Deng Qingling chatted with Chen Xiaomin for a while and thought that if she gave the thing directly, she probably wouldn't want it, so she used a roundabout tactic.

"Xiao Min, is there anything your family needs? I went to town a few days ago and bought a lot of things. I can give some to you first."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I wonder what you can give me? How much can you give me?" Chen Xiaomin was not polite.

Deng Qingling: "A pound of brown sugar, a pound of dried shrimps, and a pound of red dates. Are these enough? Just give me the price from the supply and marketing cooperative." These are all nourishing foods, so I think they are enough. It is not good to give too much.

"That's enough, that's enough. It's just that I don't have a ticket, okay? Sister-in-law?" Chen Xiaomin said, looking at her a little embarrassedly.

"Sure, as for the ticket! It's never too late to give it to me whenever you have it. Just wait a moment, I'll go home and get it for you." After Deng Qingling said that, she stood up and walked out.
