As soon as Liu Lixin went out, he ran into Aunt Geng. The news of the quarrel in the Zhuang family quickly spread throughout the team. It was said that the sisters-in-law quarreled and almost caused Jiang Hongmei to lose her child. Some people also said that Cheng Yanyan's child was lost.

Rumors were flying everywhere. Chen Xianyun heard some of them and followed the old lady's example, "I think their fight was so fierce, it must not be because of a small matter.

Wu Meili is a woman who cannot stand up straight because she has no son and feels that everyone looks down on her. She doesn’t dare to fight with real swords and guns.”

Jiang Li gave a hint, "I heard someone talking about pork this morning."

Chen Xianyun put down the cotton-padded shoes he was sewing and clapped his hands, "I think the family next door must have started fighting because they wanted to eat the meat."

Old Lady Qi narrowed her eyes and said, "No. I once ran into the fourth child of that family when I got up at night. He was holding a large piece of something that looked like pork."

"Mom, are you serious? Where did they get the meat tickets?"

Old Madam Qi was calm and collected. "You can get some meat without a ticket."

"black market?"

Chen Xianyun covered his throbbing stomach and said, "Mom, stop talking. Try these cotton shoes to see if they fit your feet."

"No need to try, it will fit you just by looking at it."

When Qi Shaoqiang walked in, he saw a bag of things tied to the back seat of his bicycle. "Mom, I got the cotton you asked for."

"This cotton is great! It's white and clean." Chen Xianyun smiled after checking it out. "It can be made into two or three pieces of clothing, just right for Li Zi and your grandmother."

"I don't need it. I can just take apart the old cotton-padded jacket and wash it. You can make two for Li Zi."

"That!"

After looking at the cotton, Qi Shaoqiang took out a small cloth bag like a magician. Jiang Li opened it and saw that it was full of chestnuts. They were not big, but round.

"Where did the chestnuts come from?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.

"The supply and marketing cooperative has just arrived. I still have some sugar at home. Can I fry it for you tonight?"

"good."

Speaking of chestnuts, Jiang Li thought of the wild chestnut forest on the mountain that had yet to be developed. "Let's go up the mountain after dinner to have a look. I wonder if the chestnuts there have been discovered."

“I promise not.”

After dinner, the two of them went up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs. It was autumn now, and the mornings and evenings were getting cooler. The further they went into the mountain, the colder it got.

Qi Shaoqiang threw the thick clothes he had brought with him on Jiang Li and took her hand. "The mountain road is not easy to walk on. You walk behind me."

As they walked, the bushes in front of them moved. Erika was startled. "Hey, is it a snake?"

Qi Shaoqiang saw it clearly, it was a gray-brown color, "It's not a snake, it should be a hare."

Jiang Li was very excited. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family had run out of meat coupons and the black market was also tense. These vegetables were radishes, leeks, eggplants, and Chinese cabbages in turn, and occasionally eggs, which was considered a feast. She was already greedy.

Without waiting for Jiang Li to say anything, Qi Shaoqiang took out a sharp bamboo stick from the basket he was carrying and stabbed the rabbit's hind leg. He then chased it for several hundred meters and finally caught the fat rabbit in his hand.

"It's a male rabbit. It eats a lot in autumn. It can weigh 15 kilograms!"

"I want to eat double pepper rabbit and spicy rabbit head."

Jiang Li always had some fresh food in her mouth. Qi Shaoqiang had never eaten it before, but he still nodded and agreed, "I'll eat it whatever you say."

The main purpose of this trip was to visit the chestnut forest. Qi Shaoqiang memorized the way and led the group into the forest, turning left and right.

With the help of the flashlight, I found a bunch of brown thorny fruits on the ground. Although some of them were rotten, I still picked them up half of them.

Jiang Li was very happy. "Chestnuts can be used to stew chicken, make chestnut cakes, and they are also delicious if you throw a few into the fire while cooking."

Qi Shaoqiang peeled one for her, "Fresh chestnuts have a particularly sweet taste, try it."

"Sure enough, it tastes good even when eaten plain."

After picking chestnuts and catching a wild rabbit, Qi Shaoqiang didn't dare to stay any longer because it was getting late, so he took Jiang Li down the mountain.

Jiang Li was skipping on the way down the mountain, and she bumped into a tree, and a sweet fruit hit her head.

Jiang Li smelled the sweetness, stretched out her finger, dipped it in the water and put it in her mouth, "It's a persimmon."

Qi Shaoqiang took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, "Silly girl, you are still smiling so happily even after being hit by a persimmon."

"That's not fun! It's like a blessing from heaven." Jiang Li began to wonder if her luck had improved, because she was clearly a poor person before she traveled through time.

Qi Shaoqiang climbed up the tree and picked all the fruits from half of the tree, leaving the remaining ones for the birds squatting on the branches to eat. Wild persimmons are much smaller than those grown by humans, but they are sweeter.

The two of them had a great harvest, and it was already night when they came down the mountain. Chen Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them coming back. Although it was not yet the time when wild animals would come out to look for food in winter, what if?

Jiang Lixianbaosi shared chestnuts and wild persimmons with Chen Xianyun. Chen Xianyun tasted one and nodded.

The wild rabbit had died long ago, and Qi Shaoqiang skinned it and pickled it with salt overnight.

Jiang Li dreamed of rabbit meat that night, it smelled so good that she drooled in the middle of the night.

…

It was already midnight when Jiang Hongmei woke up. Her throat was extremely hoarse and her lower body hurt whenever she moved.

Zhuang Xiaobao and Zhuang Xiaoyu, both with disheveled hair, slept beside her.

She stood up and called out, "Xiaoyu, pour me some water."

Zhuang Xiaoyu opened her eyes but pretended not to hear anything. She turned over and went back to sleep. Jiang Hongmei bit her lips to reach for the kettle and poured herself a bowl of water.

Jiang Hongmei was a little absent-minded with her hands on her belly. When Bai Xiaoliu was still asleep, she woke up for a while and found out that she was pregnant.

I have given birth to my own child, so he will be a hope for the future. I just don't know what Zhuang Guoliang thinks. Will he be happy?

With a creak, the door opened and Zhuang Guoliang came in. Seeing Jiang Hongmei was awake, he didn't say a word and fell asleep on the bed.

Jiang Hongmei was anxious, "Guoliang, are you happy that I'm gone?"

Zhuang Guoliang turned over impatiently, "Go to sleep quickly. We will go to the pig farm to work in two hours."

The pig farming business eventually broke up. The eldest brother and his wife were very noisy and refused to be a partner with the owner. Cheng Yanyan, the owner of the pig farming business, was also very confident and said that she would go to the pig farm with her brothers from her mother's family and they would each take care of their own business in the future.

Zhuang Guoliang said that it was useless to do anything, he was very upset!

Pig farm. Speaking of the pig farm, Jiang Hongmei was filled with anger. "Cheng Yanyan, that black whore, actually pushed me. She wanted to kill our son.

Guoliang, we won't be partners with them anymore. I will never let Cheng Yanyan go! I'm going to sue her!"

Jiang Hongmei kept on rambling, but Zhuang Guoliang didn't say a word in response. He just scolded her, "Can you please stop making trouble!

If you go and sue her, and the government comes, what will you do if someone reveals something wrong at the pig farm?"
