In the blink of an eye, it was June and the rain kept falling.
Because it rained during this period, Wan Qingliu and Hua Xuguo did not go to the county town to set up stalls.
This time of year is the plum rain season. The rain hits the green peaches and plums, and the heavy leaves next to the fruits are soaked in water like washed clothes, turning over and over in a mess.
There is water in many pits, and there are many loaches and tadpoles swimming in the pits. Of course, there are also many clams and snails in the mud at the bottom of the deeper pits. Little kids love playing in the water.
You can also take something home to eat as a snack for yourself or your chickens and ducks.
Learning has always been a painful thing. Although Hua Wanchi would rather sacrifice her own time every day to squeeze the children's time to give them tutoring, and was very happy to see their painful masks -
But after all, she is not Zhou Baopi. If she urges them to finish their homework on Saturday night, she will not force them to study on Sunday.
At that time, having two days off a week was not popular. Everyone from students to factory workers had Sundays off.
Of course, the ancestors would also give Hua Wanchi a day off.
It happened to be the weekend and the rain stopped.
It may rain at any time in the gloomy sky, but the rain has not fallen yet.
Zhou Yujiao looked up at the sky, picked up her bamboo hat and basket, and said, "There should be a lot of mushrooms growing on the mountain. Mom, do you want to go pick some mushrooms together?"
When Hua Wanchi heard her mother say that she was going to pick mushrooms, she suddenly remembered that before she traveled through time, she had poisoned her enemy with poisonous mushrooms.
She couldn't help but said, "Mom, you better watch carefully. Don't pick up anything poisonous or your whole family will be in trouble."
Zhou Yujiao turned around and said unhappily, "If you're afraid of being poisoned, don't eat the soup later!"
Wan Qingliu laughed and said, "Oh, she's just like her father. She likes to irritate her mother. Why would you argue with her? I'll go with you. Let's go."
Hua Wanchi chuckled and said, "Can you take me with you?"
As Wan Qingliu put on her overshoes, she said, "There's a lot of mud in the mountains. Put on your overshoes first."
"Okay!"
These plastic rain boots are quite stuffy to wear, but they won’t get your socks and trouser legs wet when you wear them on rainy days. Even if they get muddy, they can be washed off easily.
Hua Wanchi was originally reluctant to wear them, but after all, it would be uncomfortable to wear other shoes covered in mud and water on such a rainy day, so it would be better to wear overshoes.
Seeing Hua Wanchi had already put his feet into the overshoes, Xiao Youzi blinked and said:
"I want to go, too."
Hua Wanchi happily took her arm and said, "Great, let's go together."
Zhou Yujiao took out Xiao Youzi's rain boots from the corner of the wall.
She laughed and said, "Children have sharp eyes. You can also look for mushrooms."
At this time, there might be some prickly berries on the mountain that can be picked and eaten. They are called prickly berries locally, but judging from the late blooming flowers, they should be the raspberries mentioned in textbooks.
There is no shortage of fruits to eat in the space, but the main purpose of eating wild fruits is for fun.
The four people went out and saw Lao Huatou and Hua Xuguo who were returning from inspecting the fields with hoes on their shoulders.
If it rains a lot, you should check if there is any land flooded. The grass in the ground also grows fast, so you need to pull it out in time.
The two men had just come back from pulling weeds and were preparing to take a break at home, drink some water, and then go to other places.
Hua Xuguo asked curiously, "Are you going to pick mushrooms?"
Hua Wanchi was full of confidence: "When we come back, there will be mushroom soup for lunch!"
Four people walked across the grassy ridge of the field, and crystal clear water droplets dripped from the trampled grass onto the ground, which was already wet from the rain.
When I passed by Old Yu's house, I saw the couple, one of them had gone into the thorn bushes, while the other stood outside to help.
Wan Qingliu asked: "What are you doing?"
The thorn bush, or thorn bush, has a layer of interlaced thorns on the outside, but nothing grows inside, forming a hollow area with rotten leaf stalks piled on the ground.
Old Yu was looking for something inside at this time.
Old Mrs. Wu said with a smile, "Looking for mushrooms. This morning, the old man saw a lot of mushrooms growing inside, so he went in to look for some. It's also a good meal."
"Mushrooms can grow in here?" Zhou Yujiao was surprised.
"The rain was good this year, so there are a lot of mushrooms. There might be even more on the mountain. Are you going up the mountain to look for mushrooms?"
Wan Qingliu: "I envy you guys. Mushrooms grow right at your doorstep. You don't have to go up the mountain."
Hua Wanchi asked casually, "Where is Yu'er?"
The more Old Mrs. Wu looked at Hua Wanchi, the more she liked her. She always felt that she was a fairy from heaven.
It seems that ever since Hua Wanchi was born, all the good things have happened in the village. Moreover, she now provides free tutoring for the children in the village, including her own son Shiyu.
Yu Shiyu not only has very good grades, but he can also sing and dance very well. He can play a few musical instruments and even speak a few sentences in English. He is confident, enthusiastic, lively and cheerful.
When Old Mrs. Wu saw her, she felt a sense of accomplishment that she had raised her child very well.
Therefore, when she saw Hua Wanchi, who had raised her granddaughter to be like this, she felt extremely close to her.
At this moment, he answered Hua Wanchi's question with a kind smile: "She went to the library to read."
What was once a tutoring class is now a library, and many people love to go there. Whether adults or children, they can find books they like there.
After all, there are few entertainment options these days, and reading is a way to pass the time.
Hua Wanchi smiled and said, "I was originally planning to ask her to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms with me."
Old Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "You guys can pick them up. I'm sure you'll find a lot."
Now is the time when grass and trees are growing wildly. Once you go up the mountain, even the road that the villagers have walked countless times is covered with various shrubs and grasses, with long leaves and weeds extending out to block the middle of the road.
When people walk by, they will inevitably touch these plants, and the plants are full of water, so their whole body will be wet.
After going up the mountain, there are more trees. The treetops block the sun, and there is less grass under the trees. You can see a lot of empty spaces. There are only rotten leaves under your feet, which feel soft when you step on them.
Zhou Yujiao reminded: "Be careful, don't step on the snake, and don't fall."
Hua Wanchi saw an inconspicuous bump under the layers of rotten leaves, and quickly ran over to pick up a mushroom with a green-gray cap.
"Here's one!"
Little Pomelo also saw it and picked up a red mushroom: "There's one here too!"
"Oh, you two kids are really sharp-eyed. Both of these mushrooms are edible."
Zhou Yujiao and Wan Qingliu also found quite a few, and the four of them had a lot of fun picking them up.
Mushrooms like to grow in places that are not easily seen by people, such as under trees covered by dead leaves or in the gaps of bushes.
So, picking mushrooms is not only for eating, but also for the fun of treasure hunting.
