Qiu Guangdong nodded, "Okay, little ancestor, I'll listen to you."
"Little ancestors, shall we go up the mountain to pick pine cones tomorrow?" After seeing Qiu Guangdong and Qiu Yantang finished talking, Manzhi spoke quickly, fearing that if he was a step late, Qiu Guangdong would start talking again.
"Okay, I also froze some corn, and I'll make pine nut corn later!" Qiu Yantang felt that eating and drinking are things that accompany people throughout their lives, so they must eat and drink well.
If the conditions are not there, then create them. You can't let a living person suffocate to death...
"What is pine nut corn?" It was the first time Manzhi heard of it. She knew pine nuts and corn, but putting the two together sounded quite novel.
"I'll make it for you tomorrow!"
The two of them acted like good sisters, which made Qiu Guangdong feel left out.
Qiu Yantang directly pulled Qiu Manzhi to his home. This child is cute and keeps her mouth shut. If there is anything that is inconvenient for Qiuhua and others to do, he can let her do it.
She directly pulled her into their gang...
When they got home, Qiuhua had already put the frozen persimmons that Wazai brought back into the ice tank to freeze, and Qiu Yantang took a few of them directly into the house.
Each one is the size of a fist and looks particularly tempting.
"Come, Manzhi, come sit with us and eat and chat. I'll let you see Qiuhua and Zhang Shouquan."
After saying that, Qiu Yantang waved his hand. Manzhi felt as if there was a layer of mist in his eyes. He couldn't help but blink. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Qiuhua and Zhang Shouquan.
"Sister Qiuhua, Brother Shouquan! I saw it! I actually saw it."
Manzhi didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, instead he felt very surprised at the boss's wide-open mouth.
Qiuhua directly put an ice persimmon in her mouth, "Don't get excited..."
Feeling the icy persimmon in her mouth, Qiu Manzhi took a bite. Hmm! The skin was soft, and the inside was still juicy. The best part was the soft seeds inside the persimmon, which were soft but crispy when chewed.
“Isn’t this delicious?”
The little frog also held a persimmon and ate it, and its body was covered in juice, but it could wash itself.
"Tangtang, she looks silly..."
Frog looked at Qiu Yantang and spoke.
Qiuhua was also speechless. She thought that the little frog might have forgotten how stupid it was at the beginning, and now it was talking about Qiu Manzhi.
"The baby frog's croaking is so sweet!" Qiu Manyzhi couldn't hear what the baby frog said, he could only hear it croaking.
Qiu Yantang: ...
If you knew that it was calling you stupid, you wouldn't say that. After all, you are young and you are very receptive to this atmosphere.
The frog boy confirmed in his heart that he was really stupid.
Afterwards, Qiu Yantang took out a bunch of melon seeds and listened to Qiu Hua gossiping.
"A family near our village got pregnant, and the pregnancy dragged on for over four months. They wanted the woman to give them a bigger dowry, but the girl was so stubborn that she drank three bowls of safflower in one breath. As a result, the baby was not kept."
Zhang Shouquan frowned as he listened, "What a sin! That girl is such a pitiful person."
Qiuhua nodded. "Who says it's not? That child is even more pitiful. For nine generations, the ending has always been the same. He is ready to take revenge on those two families."
"It's quite pitiful, but if he takes revenge, it won't be good for him, right?"
Manzhi couldn't stop cracking melon seeds in his mouth. They were so delicious.
Qiu Yantang also nodded. "Usually, in this situation, it's because they did something wrong in the past and have to pay it back in the next life. Nine lives can be considered a complete success. If he really hurt someone, then there will be no day for reincarnation."
"Well, try to persuade me if you see me again." Qiuhua knew that no matter whether it was a human or a ghost, sometimes they would be blinded by hatred and do extreme things. However, anyone would collapse if they were in this situation.
It was a bit scary for Qiu Manzhi to hear this, but Qiu Yantang gave her this so that she could only see Qiu Hua and Zhang Shouquan, but not other ghosts.
This little group... a little group.
They chatted until very late, and Qiuhua even sent Manzhi home specially. Knowing that Qiu Manzhi left with Qiu Yantang at that time, Qiu Zongsheng didn't say anything.
The next morning, Qiu Manzhi began to cook. Sun Xiaoxia looked at her daughter with sleepy eyes and asked, "Why are you cooking so early?"
Qiu Manzhi said excitedly, "I'm going to pick pine cones with my little ancestor later!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoxia quickly got up and said, "You sleep a little longer, I'll cook."
"Yeah, thank you, Mom!" Qiu Manzhi's mouth was so sweet, no wonder Qiu Yantang had always liked her.
After dinner, I went to find Qiu Yantang.
"Manzhi came so early. Have you had breakfast?" Qiu Yantang asked while brushing his teeth.
Rinse out all the toothpaste residue in your mouth.
"I've already eaten!"
"Okay, go to the kang. It's warm there. Wait for me for a while. I'll have something to eat."
The main course in the morning is porridge, served with platycodon pickles and ground ring pickles. It’s cold now, so they can be kept for a while, so they are not so salty. They are frozen outside, and when you want to eat them, you can just take them indoors and thaw them a little.
"Qiuhua, bring some frozen corn from the house later. I'll make pine nut corn for you when I come back."
"Okay!"
Although it was winter, there was still some work to do at home. Qiuhua also cleaned up at home, and Zhang Shouquan brought back a lot of wood.
The snow is not that heavy now, so the roads in the mountains are still easy to walk on. But when the mountains are closed due to heavy snow, it will be difficult for him to go up the mountain.
There was thick snow on both sides of the road, even in the ditches it was half a person's height, and there was a lot of snow hanging on the trees.
We soon arrived at the pine forest. The pine trees are evergreen all year round. A few years ago, there were pine cones in this forest, but the pine nuts inside were shrunken.
"My dear, this pine forest is growing well this year. Do you want to ask the village chief to organize some people to come and pick pine cones together?"
Actually, the two of them couldn't eat much, so the leftovers could be shared among everyone.
Qiu Yantang nodded, "Of course, I was just thinking about this."
Qiu Manzhi was also very happy to hear this. After all, happiness is shared with others rather than enjoyed alone. Besides, this thing can only be a snack and cannot be a staple food.
Qiu Yantang picked a pine cone, then dug out a few pine nuts, bit them open with his teeth, and the flesh inside was revealed. The pine nuts were a bit small, but the pine kernels inside were particularly plump.
It looks shiny.
It looked like it had a high oil content, so she planned to pick more and then ask Zhang Shouquan to fry some pine nut oil.
The taste is no worse than rapeseed oil and lard. I will use this to cook during the Chinese New Year.
"Little ancestor, what are you doing?" Huang Xiaohuang came over at this time, followed by a big monkey, which was twice as big as Xiaohuang.
Manzhi still heard the squeaking sound and was frightened by the big monkey and the yellow fox.
