Chapter 29: Someone destroyed the wild duck nests one by one!
In recent years, yellow beard vegetable is a wild vegetable that has become popular on the dining tables in the Yellow River Delta region and even in Tianjin and Beijing.
One of Song Shiwei's food-themed episodes was about delicious recipes for various wild vegetables.
So when she saw this wild vegetable for the first time, she felt it looked familiar.
When I got closer and took a look, I remembered that this was yellow beard grass.
It’s just bigger and fatter than the modern yellow beard vegetable.
Nowadays, many people are tired of eating big fish and meat, and wild vegetables have become a delicacy, so the wild vegetables in many places have been almost dug up.
This yellow-bearded vegetable grows in saline-alkali land. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. It can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, making it a rare wild vegetable.
Now is the season when the fruits are fresh and tender, and when Song Shiwei came across them, he naturally wanted to pick more.
This thing, when cooked, is very delicious and nutritious!
Zhou Cheng watched her digging this thing and was a little confused.
"We're not so poor that we have to eat wild vegetables, right?"
Song Shiwei was busy with his work and had no time to look at him, but deep down she wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"It's because your father has a salary that we can have enough food and clothes to wear. But as you just heard, many villagers here can't even get enough to eat. They have no choice but to eat these wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. I wonder if you know an idiom? It's called 'Be prepared for danger in times of peace.'"
Zhou Cheng shook his head silently.
Zhou Lin said directly: "I don't know!"
Song Shiwei patiently explained to them while digging wild vegetables: "This idiom comes from the Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Qiuming's Zuo Zhuan, Xianggong Eleventh Year. It means that when you are in a safe environment, you should consider the possible dangers. If you consider the dangers, you will be prepared. If you are prepared in advance, you can avoid disasters!"
Seeing Zhou Lin and Zhou Cheng lost in thought, she smiled and continued, "Don't think that your father has a salary now, but you have to know that the profession of a soldier is very dangerous. Every time they go on a mission, they risk their lives. It's also very great. They are willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for the country and the people!"
"What if, I mean what if, one day your father is gone? What will you do? So, we can't just enjoy our current rich life. Only when we can endure hardships can we enjoy happiness! And cherish everything we have now!"
After saying that, Song Shiwei didn't look at them again. After all, she didn't expect them to understand these great principles overnight, but she hoped to influence their outlook on life and values subtly!
She doesn't ask them to become good people who are generous and charitable. As long as they don't do anything that harms society and people in the future, she will be extremely satisfied!
But what she didn't expect was that although Zhou Cheng was the most rebellious, after hearing what she said, he thought about it for a while and actually squatted down to help her dig wild vegetables.
Although Zhou Lin didn't quite understand what he heard, he saw his brother digging and hurriedly followed suit.
Song Shiwei looked at the two busy figures and felt very pleased.
This child is teachable! ! What a good boy!
After digging a full basket of yellow-bearded seaweed, Song Shiwei continued to take his two children to the woods in front to collect firewood.
The two children were quite capable. They each picked up a bundle, tied them into two piles with hemp rope, and prepared to carry them on their backs.
Song Shiwei hurriedly stopped him.
She smiled with sparkling eyes and asked Zhou Cheng: "Where was the place where you picked up sea duck eggs last time? Let's go and take a look first!"
Zhou Cheng knew at a glance what good idea she was up to.
"You can't just pick up these sea duck eggs if you want to. It depends on luck!"
Song Shi smiled with curved eyebrows: "I know, but I'm always lucky, maybe I can run into him again!"
Zhou Cheng had no choice but to let Zhou Lin watch the firewood while he led her over.
Thinking that he had just picked it up a few days ago, how could she possibly come across it again!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Shiwei pushed aside the reeds in front of him, he saw a wild duck laying eggs with its butt sticking up!
Zhou Cheng: “….”
What kind of luck did she have? ? How could such a coincidence happen?
Even picking up a duck egg is warm!
Song Shi smiled and rubbed his hands excitedly. He lay quietly on the side, waiting patiently.
I saw the wild duck in front of me lay an egg, then flapped its wings and flew away.
As soon as it left, Song Shiwei discovered that there were still a few sea duck eggs in the wild duck's nest!
She counted them, six in total!
So many, it’s great!
She walked over quietly and gently put the six eggs into her arms!
Remember this place secretly, it is the wild duck's nest, maybe she will come again tomorrow.
Zhou Cheng saw her placing something with stones on the land next to her.
When Song Shiwei came out, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Song Shiwei smiled complacently and told him his plan to collect eggs.
"This is a wild duck's nest. I'll leave a mark here. Come and check it out every day. Then there will be a steady supply of wild duck eggs to pick up, right?"
Zhou Cheng: “….”
It seemed to make sense, why didn't he think of it?
She handed him the six duck eggs and asked him to put them away, and then she continued searching along the reed marsh.
You know what, she really found a few wild duck nests.
There are duck eggs in every nest, some are quite a lot, even more than a dozen!
Since he couldn't take all of them in one go, Song Shiwei marked each one.
She also doesn't want the wild ducks to become extinct, so next time she comes, she plans to bring a flashlight and check each one one by one. She will take away those that have not been fertilized, and put the fertilized ones back to continue hatching ducklings.
When they returned, Zhou Lin discovered that his brother and Song Shiwei each had more than a dozen wild duck eggs in their arms! Suddenly his eyes widened.
"Oh my god, are you guys here to rob wild ducks? You can't leave unless they lay eggs!"
Song Shiwei was amused by him and burst out laughing.
Zhou Cheng looked at her helplessly.
He said helplessly: "You are not wrong, they did go to rob the wild ducks, someone robbed the wild duck nests one by one!"
"Oh my god! That's too awesome..."
He looked at Song Shiwei with admiration. How could this woman be so powerful! The nest has been taken away by others!
But he was even happier because he had wild duck eggs to eat today!
On the way back, Song Shiwei carried duck eggs and a backpack full of wild vegetables, while Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin each carried a bundle of firewood, and the three of them returned to the family compound one after another.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the family compound, I saw a circle of people gathered at the door.
Some people were still shouting something.
The three of them felt nervous and ran forward quickly.
Pushing through the crowd, I saw Zhou Wei standing at the door holding his sister, crying with tears and snot.
"Bad guy! Go away! You are a bad guy!"
