After Gu Jingheng left, Zhou Suisui was depressed for two days.
It's a bit difficult to adapt to the sudden absence of a grown man from home.
But Zhou Suisui adjusted quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of summer. One day, Mrs. Gu came to ask Zhou Suisui to go up the mountain to collect mountain products.
There are a lot of things to do in the mountains now, so you’ll be fine as long as you don’t go deep into the mountains.
Nowadays, people know how to make a living, so it’s good enough to be able to pick something to fill their stomachs, and no one will mind it.
Zhou Suisui also likes mountain products very much. The hazelnuts and fungus picked last autumn were eaten up very quickly, and the children also like to eat them.
Sanwa and Xiaoya were playing at Gu's house, and Zhou Suisui went to the mountains with Gu's wife.
"Third sister-in-law, I picked a sunny day today. We have to go early, otherwise there will be nothing left on the mountain in a few days. Many people are eyeing these few things in the autumn mountains."
Zhou Suisui said, "Isn't that normal? Everything in this mountain is public, so it's first come, first served."
"That's exactly what happened."
The two of them were lucky. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they came across a patch of mushrooms. They squatted down and picked mushrooms at a distance.
Zhou Suisui feels like a little girl picking mushrooms now.
Mrs. Gu and Zhou Suisui were not sitting next to each other, but they never left each other's sight, otherwise they would easily get lost.
"Every year, there is enough rain this year, so the mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms are bigger than in previous years." Mrs. Gu said happily.
"And I've noticed how easy it is to see these things this year. In previous years, maybe I came too late, so there was basically nothing left."
Zhou Suisui didn't know what was going on, so he just gave a perfunctory smile: "Maybe."
The two of them stayed on the edge of the mountain and did not go deep into the mountains. Suddenly, Zhou Suisui saw an apricot tree full of ripe apricots, which looked golden.
"Oh, this apricot tree is growing really well."
The two of them used a stick to knock down a few to taste. Mrs. Gu said in surprise, "Third sister-in-law, these apricots are really sweet. Let's pick some up quickly."
Zhou Suisui also liked the taste very much. The two of them worked for a long time and stopped only when the backpack was almost full.
The main reason is that this apricot tree is really big and there are so many apricots that we can’t pick them all.
It was almost evening when the two of them returned, and they both returned with a lot of stuff.
Mrs. Gu was also very happy. Usually the family didn't have much money to buy snacks for the children. This apricot was so sweet, Shitou and Xiaoya would definitely like it.
When Zhou Suisui returned home, he washed a plate of apricots for his three children to eat.
"Share this among the three of you. Don't eat too much, you hear?"
"Got it." The three children nodded obediently.
Zhou Suisui first poured out all the mushrooms and black fungus and spread them out to dry in the sun, otherwise they would definitely go bad overnight, so he would pick them carefully tomorrow.
Then cook and have a simple meal in the evening, just noodles.
Zhou Sui Sui took out the ready-made noodles from the space and cooked them directly. He cooked the noodles in a pot and put some rapeseed in it. Zhou Sui Sui also took out a bag of red sausage from the space and cut it.
Dinner was solved in this way, and the four of us ate with relish.
After dinner, Zhou Suisui looked at the half basket of apricots and felt worried. He definitely couldn't eat so many, and they would go bad easily if left for too long.
Zhou Suisui doesn’t like to eat the dried fruits that are sun-dried, so after thinking for a long time, I decided to make them into canned fruits.
It’s delicious and can be stored.
After scalding the canning jars with hot water and setting them aside, Zhou Suisui began to process the apricots.
Taking out all the apricot kernels is a delicate job. Zhou Suisui's neck was sore after finishing it.
Then put it in sugar water and cook until it is translucent and put it in a bowl with the soup and water.
Bottle the food quickly while it is still hot, then turn the can upside down so that there is a vacuum inside and the food will not spoil easily.
Finally finished. I was tired after a whole day. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and then went back to the room to do some skin care.
No matter when, a woman’s face is the most important thing and she must take care of it every year.
The skin care products used by Zhou Suisui are all high-end skin care products of the 21st century. The effects are definitely beyond reproach. Zhou Suisui has stockpiled some of them in her space for a long time.
After dinner the next day, the eldest and second children went to school, and Zhou Suisui brought the third child to the old house.
"Mom, these are the apricots I picked yesterday. I canned them. You and my dad can try them. Here are two more bottles for the kids to try."
Not to mention that apricots are hard to find, sugar is very precious nowadays. Some families can't even eat sugar twice a year, so having one every year is considered very generous.
"Okay, then I'll thank you, Third Aunt, on behalf of the children." Mother Gu said with a smile.
A harmonious family is the key to success. Gu's mother loves Zhou Suisui very much now.
The old man’s family is also very good. He will always give me some good food if he has any.
When people get old, they don’t ask for anything else, don’t they just want their children and grandchildren to be filial to them?
Mother Gu found that life was really comfortable without Lin Sanmei, and she could live two more years.
Zhou Suisui didn’t say anything else and went back after staying for a while.
Sanwa was left to play with Xiaoya, and when he was one year old, he went with him.
After returning home, my second brother Zhou An came after a while.
"Second brother? Why are you here? Come in." Zhou Suisui greeted with a smile.
Brother Zhou Er followed him into the house, holding a pheasant in his hand. "Little sister, I went up the mountain today and was lucky enough to come across a pheasant. I thought I would bring it to you for my nephews to eat."
"Why don't you keep it for yourself? Your Baosen is still young, he should eat more to nourish himself." Zhou Suisui didn't want it.
"I'm lucky today. I caught two. I'm giving you one. Take it. It's fresh." Zhou An insisted on giving it to Zhou Suisui, so she kept it.
Zhou Suisui packed another bag of sausage for him and also took six bottles of canned apricots from him.
"Little sister, what are you doing? I came here to bring you something."
"I also brought this for my eldest nephew. I made this can myself. You can give one to your eldest brother and parents."
"Okay then. I'll be leaving first."
"Let's have a meal here before leaving. What's the rush?"
"No, no, your sister-in-law will be worried if I don't go back." Zhou An said with a silly smile.
"Okay, then you can go. I won't keep you here, second brother." Zhou Suisui laughed.
