Zhou Zhengting caught a glimpse of the thoughts on her face and couldn't help but scold her, "I don't need your food, as for other things, don't think too much, it's useless to think about it."
Seeing that the man was trying to distance himself from the matter, Jiang Qingyue smiled calmly and then started eating with big mouthfuls.
After finishing her meal and washing the dishes, Jiang Qingyue was about to heat the kang.
Zhou Zhengting's expression changed immediately when he saw this. "Jiang Qingyue, put less firewood. I'm afraid of the heat."
Jiang Qingyue paused holding the firewood, then she remembered what happened on the kang last night.
Her face turned slightly red and she replied with an OK.
After getting on the kang, Jiang Qingyue originally thought that she would feel uncomfortable, but in fact, it was fine after pulling the curtain.
It’s just that I slept too much in the afternoon and had trouble falling asleep at first.
He lay in bed, secretly thinking about ways to make money, until he fell asleep in a daze.
......
the next day.
Thinking that she had to go up the mountain to pick winter mushrooms today, Jiang Qingyue got up early and got off the kang.
There was still a little bit of chicken soup left from last night, so I planned to heat it up, make two rough flour pancakes and have the soup for breakfast.
Before going out, Jiang Qingyue put on her thickest cotton-padded jacket and wrapped herself in a scarf.
Then he put on the backpack and went out with Zhou Zhengting.
After walking for a while, I saw many villagers carrying baskets and walking down the mountain.
Probably because the snow on the mountain has not melted completely, the road on the mountain is easier to walk on now.
The snow was half melted, and the winter mushrooms hidden under the snow just showed their heads. They were easy to identify with their white color and a little yellow.
So it is a good time to pick winter mushrooms.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Qingyue saw that her family members had also come over, and she hurried over.
"Mom, are you guys here to pick mushrooms too?"
Wang Xiuzhi didn't expect that her daughter would come to the mountain to pick mushrooms, or she didn't expect that she would get up so early.
In the past, every winter she would stay in bed and sleep until noon.
"Why are you here too? Did that Zhou Zhiqing force you to pick mushrooms?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and shook her head, "No, I just couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and dry them. They're also a good vegetable in winter, right?"
Wang Xiuzhi was very satisfied to see her daughter suddenly become so good at managing life. "Of course, mushrooms are very delicious now. We can dry them and eat them for the whole winter. Come with me. I will teach you how to find mushrooms."
Jiang Qingyue followed with a smile.
The elder sister-in-law Zhang Aiying followed behind him.
Seeing this, the second sister-in-law Liu Chunlan snorted coldly and followed reluctantly.
She didn't want to follow them, but mainly wanted to make sure her mother-in-law wouldn't be partial to her sister-in-law and help her pick up the trash.
As for the men, although they were carrying baskets, they were not focused on looking for mushrooms.
Instead, they were absent-mindedly looking for pheasants, hoping to catch one or two to take back and satisfy their cravings.
Jiang Qingyue was worried about not knowing how to find mushrooms, so she followed the skilled Wang Xiuzhi and soon found the mushroom nest.
Before Jiang Qingyue could even exclaim, she heard Wang Xiuzhi hushing, "Don't make a sound, pick them up quickly and put them in the basket."
Jiang Qingyue quickly squatted down and used both hands.
But her speed was still far behind Wang Xiuzhi. She just waved her hands quickly, and the mushrooms fell into Jiang Qingyue's backpack in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Qingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I can pick them up myself, don't keep throwing them into my basket."
Wang Xiuzhi kept busy, "It's okay. We have some mushrooms at home. We can't eat that many. At your speed, you won't be able to finish a basket by the time the sun rises."
Liu Chunlan, who followed behind, saw this and poked Zhang Aiying in dissatisfaction, "What did I tell you? Look, all the mushrooms picked by our mother-in-law have gone into her sister-in-law's basket."
Zhang Aiying didn't think it was a big deal, and even comforted Liu Chunlan, "It's not like the sister-in-law has been favored for a long time. She didn't know how to work before, and now she wants to learn. It's normal for our mother-in-law to help her out a little."
"You are so kind-hearted. Didn't you take the mushroom from your bowl and give it to her?"
"That's enough. They're just a few mushrooms. They're not valuable. Last time you picked up a basket of mushrooms and sent them to your parents' home. Didn't our mother-in-law say anything to you when she found out?"
"you--"
Liu Chunlan didn't expect that her sister-in-law, who was usually silent, would be so talkative when she started an argument. She was choked and speechless.
By noon, the sun had become hotter and the snow on the mountain began to melt slowly.
The road on the mountain began to become muddy and difficult to walk on, so everyone had to go down the mountain.
Jiang Qingyue was happy when she saw the basket behind her was full, and she was grateful for her mother's help.
At least at the beginning, all the things Wang Xiuzhi picked up were given to her.
However, Wang Xiuzhi was quick and later she also picked up a full basket of mushrooms.
When the two of them were supported and walked down the mountain, they saw the three brothers were already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.
The third brother was holding a pheasant in his hand. When he saw the others coming down, he boasted, "Mom, little sister, look what I caught?"
Wang Xiuzhi exclaimed in delight, "Wow, you caught me in such a cold weather. Weidong is really amazing."
"I'm lucky today. I happened to come across this pheasant. I'll clean it and chop half of it for my little sisters to give them a taste too."
Wang Xiuzhi was very satisfied. "Yes, although the chicken is not fat, it will have a bit of meat flavor if stewed with mushrooms."
Jiang Qingyue quickly waved her hands, saying that such a chicken was not enough for everyone in the family.
She was too embarrassed to accept it.
"Mom, that's not necessary. You can take this chicken back and eat it. Zhengting also hunted pheasants."
As the others pushed and shoved, Liu Chunlan said sarcastically, "Mom just gave me mushrooms and it's not enough. Why don't we just give her all the chickens and we won't eat any more."
Jiang Weidong was not convinced. "I killed this pheasant. I can give it to whoever I want. Why are you butting in?"
Liu Chunlan immediately became angry. "Hmph, who cares? This pheasant is so skinny that it's just skin and bones. There's not enough for everyone in the family to eat one. If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhengting walked down the mountain carrying two pheasants.
In fact, he had been listening for a while.
I didn't want to care about it at first, but when I thought about the fact that Jiang Qingyue and I are now nominally husband and wife.
As long as it's not too excessive, you still have to maintain your face a little.
You must not let others look down on you for such a trivial thing.
He took the initiative to step forward, picked a slightly larger pheasant and handed it to Wang Xiuzhi, "Ahem, mother, I shot two pheasants, this one is for you and father."
After saying this, Zhou Zhengting seemed unaccustomed to changing his words, and his face turned a little red.
Wang Xiuzhi stared at the pheasant handed over by her son-in-law with wide eyes, and said stutteringly, "What did you call me?"
"Hey, how did you get such a fat pheasant? No, no, you can take it back and eat it with Qingyue. It won't go bad in the cold weather."
