The main reason was that she usually went up the mountain at the foot of the mountain, which was too far away from the deep mountains.
It would be better if Third Aunt stayed at home more often, so that I could go up the mountain with her to hunt pheasants.
"There are not only pheasants on the mountain, but also wild boars. I just saw a group of wild boars when I climbed up a tree." Humph, what's so rare about pheasants? When she was in the army, Third Aunt even shot a group of wild boars!
Lu Chunxiao's goal is to kill the big insect and become the female overlord in the forest.
"Yes, there are also a group of wild boars. It's a pity that they don't come out from the deep mountains, otherwise we can have the pig-killing dinner again." Chun Xing still craved for the pig-killing dinner before the New Year.
Liu Shuning ignored the two little kids and continued to clean the mushrooms and put them in the sun to dry.
At noon, Lu Qi came back and was very happy to see mushrooms. There were so many mushrooms that if dried, they should weigh about ten pounds.
"Grandma, let me tell you, Chunxing and I also went to pick mushrooms. There are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain, more than there are in the army." Chunxiao started to show off the mushrooms she picked up today when she saw Lu Xiao.
"Chunxiao is getting stronger and stronger. You can pick more tomorrow and dry them in the sun. You can give them to your grandparents to eat."
"Okay, then I will continue to go up the mountain with Aunt San tomorrow."
Standing aside, Chunxing was extremely envious of Chunxiao and Lu Xi acting like a spoiled child. She also wanted to go up and hug her grandmother, but she was a little timid.
"Chun Xing, come here and tell grandma how many mushrooms you picked today." Lu Xi looked up and saw Chun Xing standing aside in a sullen manner. It had only been a few months since they last saw each other, but the child had become so distant to her.
"Grandma, I picked more mushrooms than Chunxiao, filling up a whole basket." Chunxing's unhappiness disappeared in an instant. It seemed that her grandma still loved her as much as before.
"Our Chun Xing is also very good. She can pick mushrooms at the age of 18." Chun Xing is 16 years old this year, and she is already eight years old in terms of age. Although she is one year older than Chun Xiao, they are almost the same in height.
"Mom, how many more days will this busy farming season last? I feel so bad to see you guys so tired." Liu Shuning saw how hard Lu's father and Lu Xi worked these past two days, and he had asked them not to go to the fields.
However, Lu Li and the others have been used to doing this for a long time. The busy farming season is related to the harvest at the end of the year, and they don't want to be lazy.
"It's almost done. Once we plant the corn and radish, it will be almost done." She hadn't done farm work for a few months, so it was a bit hard for her to suddenly go to the fields. She needed a few more days to get used to it, and once she got used to it, it wouldn't be so hard.
Liu Shuning: "How about I take your place tomorrow? We can each do one day's work and it won't be too tiring."
"No, you can help take care of the vegetable garden when you have time at home. Your father is such a lazy guy that he only planted a row of chicken greens and nothing else."
"That's fine. I'll get some soil from the wall of my yard and plant some watermelons."
"Plant some winter melon and pumpkin as well. The pumpkins you planted in the army last year were delicious. I brought all the seeds back. I'll soak them in water tonight and you can use them to grow seedlings tomorrow."
Lu Qi had originally planned to grow the seedlings in a couple of days when she had time. Now that Liu Shuning has time, it's okay to ask her to help grow the seedlings.
"Then I'll plant more pumpkins in the corner of the woodshed. I'll get some dry firewood and build a shed later."
"Okay, you decide."
…
In the afternoon, Liu Shuning took several children from his family to dig in the vegetable garden in the backyard.
The twins didn't know how to work yet, so they just ran around in the vegetable garden. Chun Xing and Chun Mei helped dig the ground, while Chun Xiao and Chun Tao helped pull weeds.
Two vegetable plots were dug in less than an afternoon.
This time, she brought back from the army not only watermelon, pumpkin and winter melon seeds, but also bitter melon, loofah, cucumber, beans, water spinach and sweet potato.
All kinds of melons need to be raised as seedlings, but she can't plant them now. She can only plant a row of beans, a row of water spinach, and a row of sweet potatoes.
