He squatted down, thinking about how to reason with his granddaughter.
"Zhuzhu, didn't Grandpa tell you not to dig wild ginseng anymore? It's too precious. Don't dig too much, or else God will be angry and treat Zhuzhu badly!"
Zhuzhu doesn't understand anything about loss of blessings and virtues, because she herself is the gathering of the luck of heaven and earth, and good luck is something that can never be used up!
She tilted her little head, put her chubby little fingers together, pouted her little mouth, and looked very aggrieved.
"But Grandpa, my eldest brother is going to the army to kill bad guys, and Mom is afraid that he will get hurt! My second brother is studying and his head is tired, so he needs to be supplemented. My third and fourth brothers are stupid and need to become smarter. Third uncle..."
"Okay, okay! Grandpa knows, our Zhuzhu is the best!" The old man hugged his granddaughter, and his heart softened when he heard it.
I originally thought that the fat girl was just having fun or was greedy for money, but I never thought that she was thinking about her family.
The ginseng I had obtained earlier was sold or given away, but I didn't keep any for myself.
It's hard for the fat girl to still remember this...
The old man rubbed the fat girl's head and praised her, "My Zhuzhu is the best child in the world. Your family loves you for a reason! But Zhuzhu, we only need to pick one wild ginseng. No more, understand?"
The fat girl smiled with her big eyes curved, but didn't say anything.
The old man thought she agreed, but after digging up one ginseng, he saw another one just a few steps away...
In front of the cabin, everyone was sorting out the pheasants, rabbits and a silly goat they had hunted, while looking towards the mountain road.
Master Tai San was worried and called out to Tai Jizu, "Go check on your father and Zhuzhu. Why haven't they come back yet? Be careful not to run into wild animals and scare Zhuzhu."
Tai Jizu glanced at the distance and saw the big black horse and the big white horse eating grass, occasionally rubbing their faces against each other to show their affection. There was no sign of tension at all, which made him feel inexplicably at ease.
But he still stood up, picked up the hatchet, and prepared to go up the mountain.
At this time, Sesame Ball came running down the mountain with a woven wreath hanging on his head. It looked weird but also cute!
Soon, Grandpa Tai came out of the woods holding Zhuzhu.
Tai Jizu hurried forward and was about to take Zhuzhu.
The old man turned sideways and instructed, "Zhuzhu has found some treasures. They are all in the basket. You should carry it well. If you lose it, this girl will drop gold beans!"
Tai Jizu understood and immediately took the basket and put it on his back.
Mr. Tai Sanye and others didn't take it seriously. After all, little girls are very curious, and even a beautiful wild flower is a treasure to them.
Little did they know that this "treasure" was really a treasure!
In the yard of the newly built adobe house at the entrance of Taijia Village, the women had already boiled water and picked vegetables, waiting for the hunting team to return.
It was a rare occasion for Grandma Tai San to go out for a walk, and she couldn't help but smile and chat with the women.
"Your third uncle is so clumsy. If we rely on him to hunt, we might not be able to taste meat today."
Everyone laughed and responded.
"Don't say that, Third Uncle will probably be furious if he hears it."
"Haha, if Third Uncle can't catch any prey, don't we still have Sixth Uncle? He always comes back with a full load!"
"There are two veterans with bows and arrows. They should be able to hunt down some pheasants and rabbits."
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang sat aside, looked at each other, and added more firewood under the pot.
Zhuzhu went into the mountains with her grandfather, so how could she come back empty-handed?
It was an unspoken secret in the family that the girl had been able to eat meat whenever she wanted since she was a child.
Sure enough, after a while, the villagers shouted, "He's back, he's back!"
Everyone rushed out of the door and saw two old soldiers carrying a wooden pole with seven or eight rabbits, five or six pheasants, and a silly roe deer hanging on the pole.
The wooden pole was as thick as a child's arm and was bent directly by the pressure.
Everyone was so happy that they couldn't help but cheer out loud!
"Uncle San is so awesome! He actually hunted prey and brought it back!"
"Haha, we have meat to eat today!"
Master Tai was as proud as a victorious general returning to court. He lifted his skinny chest, puffed out his beard, and shouted to the crowd, "Is the water boiling? Quickly peel and remove the hair, then put it in the pot and start stewing!"
The two old soldiers also took down their poles, and the women rushed forward, some taking rabbits and some taking pheasants.
The men also came forward to help, pulled on their silly robes and went to the river to cut open the belly, so as to avoid the yard being filled with the smell of blood.
Yang Lihua also wanted to help, but her daughter hugged her neck.
Tai Jizu waved at her, and the family of three left while no one was paying attention...
As the sun sets, the aroma of meat fills the village, and almost all the villagers, young and old, gather at the village entrance.
As usual, there were three tables of gentlemen, young and old, including the village chief of Liujia Village, the village chief of Zhangjia Village, and the villagers from the two villages who had helped were all invited.
Accompanied by Mr. Tai Sanye, Mr. Tai Laoye and others, several familiar master chefs, and ten veterans including He Shan who were going to move into the new home.
Everyone sat in a circle, filled their wine bowls, picked them up and drank them all in one gulp, and everyone's face turned red.
The rest of the villagers, the elderly, the weak, women and children each received a bowl of vegetables and a steamed bun made of two jin of flour.
Of course, the big chicken drumstick is indispensable in Zhuzhu’s bowl!
In the blink of an eye, after the pot bottom was cooked, He Shan and others moved into the two courtyards for half a month.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is officially midsummer.
Tai Jiye finally returned with his motorcade, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.
The villagers have become accustomed to the convoys coming in and out, but they still can't help but feel excited.
Because when the convoy returns, there are big bags of cashmere, which can be turned into cashmere yarn, and the workshop can work day and night, so naturally the wages will flow into their pockets.
