How can this be compared?
There's no comparison at all!
In the end, everyone ran to Qingtian to help her pick up eggs, and then returned home with a full load.
When Old Mrs. Ye saw the children holding small baskets full of eggs, she didn't show any surprise.
I just put them all in the shade under the eaves, and then asked them to come over and drink some water before going out to play.
On the contrary, Ye Lao Er was very surprised after seeing it.
"Oh my, I just went to pick them up yesterday, how come there are so many eggs today?"
Chickens and ducks do not lay eggs every day. Basically, they lay one egg every one or two days.
So even though the Ye family raised a lot of chickens and ducks, the daily harvest was basically only about one-third to one-half.
Every evening when Ye Laoer returned home from working in the fields, he would go around the foot of the mountain to pick up chicken and duck eggs, so he knew everything very well.
Seeing the children pick up so many eggs, Ye Lao Er couldn't help but start to wonder: "I usually go to pick up eggs in the evening, and there are only about half of these. Could they have been stolen?"
Old Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe it's because I added some feed to the chickens and ducks yesterday afternoon, so they laid a lot of eggs today. There's nothing to be surprised about.
"Oh, that's what's going on!" Ye Lao Er scratched the back of his head, believing it. He then said, "Mom, your feed is so powerful. If we feed it every day from now on, won't there be so many eggs to pick up every day?"
Mrs. Ye was at a loss for words for a moment. After a pause, she said, "Is the family short of eggs for you, or what? You keep giving birth like this every day. Are you trying to tire the chickens and ducks to death?"
Ye Laoer was inexplicably scolded by his mother, but when he thought about it, it seemed to make sense. He scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently.
"That's right, what Mom said makes sense."
Old Madam Ye was afraid that he would ask more questions, so she called someone over and said, "Separate these chicken and duck eggs, wrap them up with some hay, and put them in the car for your sister-in-law to take back and eat.
"Oh, and the salted duck eggs I pickled earlier, go get two jars and put them in the car for your sister-in-law."
"Okay!" Ye Lao Er had something to do and immediately put his previous doubts behind him.
The children took the eggs home, drank a few sips of water under the watchful eyes of Old Mrs. Ye, and then ran out to play again.
This time everyone didn't delay any longer and headed straight for the back mountain.
Pei You and Fan Yizhou immediately followed upon seeing this.
"Let's not follow too closely, as long as we can see the young master."
Pei You was a smart man. He knew that Qingtian was still somewhat resistant to the people in Prince Rui's Mansion, so he grabbed Fan Yizhou who was eager to catch up.
Fan Yizhou was young and only wanted to protect his young master. When he was pulled back, he said worriedly, "Brother Pei, if we don't follow closely, what if we run into danger?"
"If we get too close, it will disturb the young master's interest in playing. We should keep a little distance, but we must always keep a distance where we can see the young master and rush over in time if something happens.
"But this is at the foot of the mountain, there shouldn't be any large wild animals, so there's no need to be too nervous."
"Okay, Brother Pei, I understand." Fan Yizhou nodded when he heard it, indicating that he had learned it, and then his eyes followed Qingtian's figure, refusing to move away for even a moment.
It rained last night, so the grass and trees on the back mountain are still a little wet.
Fortunately, many small paths have been trampled out by villagers at the foot of the mountain, so it is not a problem to walk on them.
Ye Changxue took the lead and led the way.
"I saw someone in the village picking wild grapes a few days ago. Let's go look for them too."
When Ye Changnian heard about wild grapes, he frowned and said, "Li Mingze brought some to the private school. I tried one and it was sour and astringent, not tasty at all."
"Haha, silly boy, that's not how you eat wild grapes." Ye Changxue teased his brother, "You pick wild grapes and bring them home to make wine."
Ye Changnian was laughed at, and unwilling to be outdone, he said: "You talk as if you know a lot, have you ever tried it?"
"Although I've never tried it, I know Grandma, Auntie, Second Auntie, and our mother all love it!" Ye Changxue made a face at his brother and said, "Anyway, I'm going to look for wild grapes. If you don't want to find them, don't follow me."
When Ye Changnian heard him say that the women in his family all loved to drink, he immediately became energetic and remembered the unfinished bet when he was picking up eggs just now.
"Then let's have a competition to see who can find wild grapes first!"
Ye Changnian learned his lesson this time. He knew that he was young and could not compete with his brother in picking grapes, so he changed it to seeing who found it first.
"Let's compete. I'm not afraid of you." Ye Changxue was not afraid at all. "I'll bet a month's pocket money!"
"Okay!" When Ye Changnian heard that he was no longer thinking about his beautiful stone, he immediately agreed, and before he finished speaking, he had already run up the mountain road.
"You kid actually jumped the gun!" Ye Changxue fell behind by one step and immediately started to catch up.
Seeing them disappear in an instant, Ye Changrui shook his head helplessly. He then turned to the twins and Qingtian and said, "Let's not compete with them. I know there's Black Sky up ahead. I'll take you there to pick some."
Fortunately, the remaining three brothers and sisters were very obedient and easy to take care of, which made Ye Changrui feel relieved.
Ye Changrui led them forward for a while, and then began to search in the grass beside the mountain road.
Ye Changzhao, Ye Changfeng and Qingtian were also looking around.
Seeing that the children had all gone into the bushes, Pei You and Fan Yizhou didn't care about keeping a distance and hurried in, following closely behind Qingtian.
Pei You breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qingtian was concentrating on looking for Heitiantian and was not angry because the two of them followed him.
Then, Qingtian shouted in surprise: "Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, come quickly and see what I found!"
The three brothers thought she had found Heitiantian and quickly ran over following the sound.
But they didn't see Dark Sky, they only saw Clear Sky holding two big mushrooms in his hands.
"Brother, look, there are a lot of mushrooms here."
Ye Changrui looked in the direction of Qingtian's finger and was completely stunned.
I saw that there were densely packed mushrooms under the trees in front.
Pei You and Fan Yizhou had no experience in surviving in the wild, let alone knowing what wild mushrooms were.
Fan Yizhou couldn't help but ask nervously, "What kind of mushroom is this? Is it poisonous? You can't just eat it casually, or something bad will happen!"
Pei You also said: "Yes, if there were edible mushrooms so close to the foot of the mountain, in such a large area, they should have been picked up by the villagers long ago!"
Ye Changrui recognized this mushroom because he used to pick it and eat it when he lived in the countryside.
"Don't worry, this is sticky dumplings, it's delicious!"
Before he finished speaking, the four children started picking mushrooms quickly.
