After the autumn harvest, when the public grain tax has been paid, the villagers will go into the mountains to look for mountain products and hunt, either spontaneously or through team organization.
These are people who make a living from the mountains. This is a major source of income for them every year. They don’t have to hand it over to the public, so they get as much as they can pick up. Everyone is very enthusiastic.
Tuanzi was also very excited. Before daybreak, he started clamoring to go into the mountains.
Lan Qingshuang dragged her restless daughter to wash her face, put on her clothes, and comb her hair into a bun.
"Fuman, you must be obedient. It's dangerous in the mountains. You can't make noise. Do you understand?"
"Ah...know..."
【Fumanguai, I know.】
Tuanzi Nai hugged Lan Qingshuang's neck and snuggled up to her, looking very well behaved.
Lan Qingshuang's face, which had been so tense with great difficulty, suddenly brightened up.
He kissed the fat girl's little face several times.
"Then can I carry you on my back?"
"Ahhh, aunt..."
[Auntie carries me on her back, and I run fast. Auntie is awesome. 】
Haha, my mother’s happiness only lasts three seconds.
Rong Yongyue, who was waiting to serve the little ancestor breakfast, spoke happily.
"You are my aunt's little darling. Come and eat some meat, and then we'll leave."
"Fa..." Tuanzi jumped on his short legs and shouted, making several people laugh.
"Cousin, I have to go to the provincial capital today. Please be careful when you go into the mountains. I will bring back some good milk powder for Fuman in a couple of days."
Lan Qingshuang didn't know he was going into the city yet: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll get you something to eat."
"It's okay. I can buy food anywhere. I'll be back in two days."
"Father Fuman is not at home, you have to be careful."
He heard that someone was looking for the things left by his uncle behind.
Although my cousin’s identity has not been revealed yet, just in case.
Lan Qingshuang knew that Dai Minghao was busy and had his own things to do, so it would not be a good idea for her to stay any longer.
"Okay, just be safe and don't worry about us."
"The Zhu family has been in the provincial capital for many years and should not be underestimated."
"A desperate person has no reason."
Dai Minghao repeatedly assured himself that he would be careful before Lan Qingshuang let him go.
Rong Yongyue carried Xiao Fuman and Lan Qingshuang out, and went up the mountain after meeting up with Aunt Lin and Aunt Deng.
We met many people on the road, all carrying large backpacks filled with large sacks.
"Auntie Deng, where are you going this year?"
An old lady asked.
"Go look at that chestnut grove on the North Fork."
"Oh, we have to hurry, there are a lot of people going there."
"Okay, okay." When she heard that there were many people going, Aunt Deng did not dare to delay and took the lead and walked quickly.
Lan Qingchu had participated in the autumn hunt when he was at the Zhou family, and understood that this was a matter of racing against time.
It was Rong Yongyue’s first time, and everything was new to him.
Looking at the large and small bags, I guess the autumn hunt must have been a bountiful harvest, otherwise these people wouldn't have brought so many things.
She didn't know that even though she took a lot of things, she could still hold a lot, but there wasn't much she could eat or use.
Everyone is just rushing to get them back home first, and then slowly picking them out. With a larger base, the harvest will be greater.
After selection, it would be good if two or three out of ten can be used.
Otherwise they wouldn't be so poor that they have to tighten their belts.
It is true that you can make a living from the mountain, but it is difficult to get rich from the mountain.
When we arrived at the chestnut forest, there were already four or five middle-aged women picking chestnuts on the ground, and there were two or three full sacks next to them.
Aunt Deng hurriedly called out to Lan Qingshuang and the others, then joined the team.
Lan Qingshuang was also very anxious because this was the food ration for the whole family.
The couple didn't earn many work points this year, and there were several more mouths to feed in the family.
Although Rong Yongyue, Dai Minghao, and Ji Xiaolian who often ate for free all used money to eat.
But there is really not much food.
Even if Dai Minghao and Rong Yongyue went to buy, they could only buy a small amount of high-priced grain, which was not much and they would still be at a loss, so they could not eat as much as they wanted.
There is ready-made food here, so the more you can pick up, the better.
"Sister, let's go over there. There are fewer people there."
"Pick up the ones on the ground first."
"What about the ones on the tree?" Rong Yongyue asked.
"Don't worry about the tree. If we guard this tree, no one else will come to grab it."
"Besides, it's hard to deal with those on trees, and it takes time."
"You can pick up anything on the ground. Whoever picks it up owns it."
Rong Yongyue didn't hesitate to hear this. Even in the imperial capital, even in the Rong family, food was still exquisite.
Carrying the sack, I put chestnuts into it with bamboo clips.
Chestnuts in their shells are prickly.
Lan Qingshuang was also working hard.
Tuanzi waited for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her, so she became anxious.
“Ahhh…”
【Pick up, pick up with luck. 】
The fat body twisted continuously, causing Rong Yongyue to stagger from side to side.
"Okay, okay, little ancestor, be quiet, auntie will put you down soon."
Rong Yongyue swept a clean area and peeled a few chestnuts for Tuanzi to play with.
There are a lot of people here, so as long as Tuanzi doesn't try to peel off the chestnut shells, he won't get hurt.
Lan Qingshuang knew that her tiger daughter was restless, so she gave her several warnings.
Tuanzi responded obediently and sat on the ground picking up the unshelled chestnuts one by one.
After picking up the trash for two minutes, he became bored, stuck out his butt, and stood up tremblingly.
She found that what her mother and aunt picked up were different from what she picked up.
The little thing is a little angry.
Tiptoe and follow to pick them up.
As soon as it touched the outer shell of the thorn ball, it shrank back sharply.
The little fat boy stumbled and sat down on a chestnut ball.
Tuanzi was stunned for a second, then burst into a terrifying cry.
“Ouch…it hurts…”
Rong Yongyue and Lan Qingshuang hurried over.
When I picked up Tuanzi and saw the ball of hair on her fair and tender butt, I didn't know whether to laugh or feel distressed.
