The little fat boy was so angry that he pushed Zhao Xiaocao away and reached out to pick the orange out of Tuanzi's mouth.
"Sister won't eat it. If it's sour, then she won't eat it."
"Fat brother brought you a pear. This one is not sour, but sweet."
“It’s crispy and sweet, so delicious.”
As he said this, he couldn't help swallowing.
Zhao Xiaocao snorted and stopped recommending her oranges. She stuffed the rest into her mouth.
It's so sour that tears well up in my eyes but I won't spit it out.
A small, white, tender petal of the pear has turned darker after coming into contact with the air.
Although Tuanzi didn't mind, he learned from the previous experience and never dared to speak carelessly again.
He hid from the fat boy's hand in fear and refused to open his mouth.
"It's really sweet. Fat brother doesn't lie."
Tuanzi didn't believe it and continued to hide.
After making a fuss for a while, he ran to the nearby woods with a group of other kids to pick mushrooms.
There weren't many mushrooms, but I found a dead tree covered with black fungus.
A group of little kids happily ran over to pick them.
Tuanzi was also carried along by his older brothers and sisters.
The shadowed Tuanzi didn't dare to reach out at first.
But after touching it quietly, I found it was soft and not prickly, so I happily followed suit and picked them.
The little brother and little sister use their clothes pockets, and she also uses her clothes pockets.
The fungus, which was not big to begin with, was crushed into pieces by the fat boy Tuanzi.
Then she stuffed it into her little pocket.
The dead tree was not big. After picking all the fruits, Tuanzi was led forward by the little brothers and sisters.
“Thatch roots.”
The roots of thatch grass are sweet and are one of the few snacks for children.
As soon as I see it, I will turn it upside down.
A group of little kids with glowing eyes ran to dig.
Tuanzi was pulled by the little fat man and Zhao Xiaocao on the left and right: "Come on, sister, let's go too, this is delicious."
The two put the dumpling on the ground and started doggy paddling.
Tuanzi stared for a while with her big round eyes. Although her little baby teeth had never tried to chew grass roots, it didn't stop her from being greedy and she dug excitedly.
She dug up a thatch root that was bigger than the others and stuffed it into her little bag with a giggle.
He didn't mind even if one stick was broken into several pieces, he would stuff all of them together with the dirt and residue.
By the time she had finished digging one, other little kids had already got a small handful, and then she was happily taken to other places.
He was not taken back until Lan Qingshuang and the others had finished checking the chestnuts.
The little ball that was white and tender when she went out has now turned gray and her original appearance can no longer be seen.
The little tufts of hair that had been standing up had now drooped down to the ears.
Lan Qingshuang was so disgusted that she didn't know where to start.
After arriving home, I washed the dumplings first and then made lunch.
"Let's just have a simple lunch at noon, and then go to the wasteland in the north in the afternoon. There are wild yams there, and each family can get a small piece. Let's make an appointment to dig together, and we'll get as much as we dig."
Rong Yongyue had no opinion on what to eat, but she felt that finding food was too time-consuming.
"I see those chestnuts are mostly rotten."
"There aren't many wild yams to dig, and we have to share them all, so we won't get much in the end."
"It's too slow to save money this way."
"Can't we look somewhere else?"
Lan Qingshuang smiled and said, "Of course you can, but everyone knows that only one person can get the things outside the mountain. Don't be too greedy and eat all by yourself."
"Whoever finds the one inside the mountain gets it."
"But it's dangerous inside. Women, children and the elderly don't dare to go there without the company of young and middle-aged people."
"But the young and strong have to go hunting, so they don't have time."
Rong Yongyue smiled and said, "I'm good at hunting. If all else fails, I'll take you to the inner area. There are definitely more things there than outside."
Lan Qingshuang was moved, but she still remained rational.
"Don't even think about hunting, sister. If your brother-in-law doesn't allow you to do it, the child's father will be angry too."
"If you want to go to the inner circle, you have to tell them first and get their consent."
Rong Yongyue sighed.
No one cared about her before, so she was used to being alone and felt comfortable there.
Although I have lost my freedom now, my heart is burning with passion.
Being controlled by someone doesn't seem so unbearable.
"Okay, let's discuss it with them tonight, and we'll go to the inner circle tomorrow."
"Old Ji will be going back to the city soon, so he doesn't have to hang around with the educated youths and work for nothing."
"Let him follow us tomorrow, even as a laborer."
It’s not impossible. Lan Qingshuang has no objection.
In the afternoon, everyone went to the yam field together as if they had made an appointment.
Seeing that most people had arrived, they spontaneously chose a piece of land.
Everyone was well-behaved and didn't fight over things.
Once you’ve made your selection, dig it yourself.
How much you dig out depends on your luck.
Of course, there were individual disputes, but they were quickly settled.
Lan Qingshuang chose a spot on the edge, the size of an octagonal table, and dug with Rong Yongyue.
The dumplings were placed on a sack beside them.
The little thing played a lot in the morning and is now taking a nap.
Some people from the Ye family also came to dig, including Du Yan, the wife of Ye Jianjun, the second son of the Ye family, and Leng Xuehua, the wife of Ye Dagui.
The Ye family was not well-received in the village, so the two men chose a corner location and dug quietly.
Leng Xuehua's almost two-year-old son was also brought along.
The child looked more and more strange, with squinting eyes, crooked mouth, and uncontrollable saliva and snot.
He couldn't walk yet and could only take a few stumbling steps.
I can't even speak.
Because of what happened before, Leng Xuehua was afraid of Zheng Juan's revenge. She had all kinds of wild thoughts in her mind all day long and almost had a mental breakdown. She became gloomy and paid less attention to her son.
As a result, Ye Wang's condition quickly became worse. He almost became a deformed child, and was somewhat autistic and dark.
