Chapter 117 Wild Kiwi
"Little sister, have you found something good again?" Liu Mingyuan's eyes lit up when he saw the wild kiwi fruit.
His little sister is really lucky, like a lucky star.
"Yes, there are still a lot of kiwis there. I want to go pick some with you guys." Liu Yinyin said happily.
Live by the mountain, live by the water, she quite likes this lifestyle.
"That's going to have to wait until we finish digging the yams." Liu Mingyuan smiled.
Wild kiwis are also good things, but those wild fruits can only be used as snacks and cannot be compared to yams, which can be eaten as meals.
Liu Yinyin drank a sip of water and stopped digging wild vegetables. She helped them collect the wild yams they had dug up.
The yam that the Liu brothers are digging now has a lot of yams growing underneath. Each wild yam has strange shapes, but they are all very thick and strong.
An hour passed quickly and the nest of yams was finally dug out.
The brothers climbed out of the pit, packed up and prepared to go back.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment, picked up some dead branches and grass to cover the hole, and told them, "When you come tomorrow, be careful when you walk."
Don't step into the pit.
"Little sister, are you planning to set a trap? But didn't you just say that this road isn't dangerous?" Liu Mingyuan said in surprise.
Liu Yinyin said seriously, "...I don't expect a big catch, but it would be nice if one or two pheasants fell in. Anyway, you have dug the pit, it would be a pity not to use it."
Besides, they will come to the mountain to dig yams tomorrow, so it is a good opportunity to check it out.
Even if not, no loss.
"What you said makes sense." Liu Mingyuan thought about it and helped Liu Yinyin to clean up the trap.
Finally, make a mark to prevent anyone from accidentally falling.
Several people went down the mountain carrying backpacks. This time their luck was not good. As soon as they got down the mountain, they met a villager passing by.
"Mingcheng, where are you brothers and sisters doing?" asked the villager.
"No... I didn't do anything. I just went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits." Liu Mingyuan said casually.
Their baskets were covered with a layer of weeds, so no one could tell what was inside.
"Why would you need so many of you to go together to pick wild vegetables?" He knew it was not true, so the villager continued to ask, "Did you find anything good in the mountains?"
If they really wanted to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, there was no need for brothers and sisters to go together.
Moreover, there are several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the Liu family. Why is it necessary for Liu Mingcheng and his brothers to dig wild vegetables?
The siblings act mysterious and look suspicious at first glance.
Liu Ershuan felt itchy inside and wanted to go up immediately and open the baskets of several people to see if there was anything good inside.
Liu Mingyuan secretly thought how unlucky he was that he ran into Liu Ershuan, the village's famous big mouth.
This guy is such a talkative person. He wants the whole village to know everything and he likes to exaggerate things.
Liu Mingcheng explained: "There were not many wild vegetables on the nearby mountains, so we went to dig for them in a farther place. We were afraid of danger, so we went together."
He had to explain, as he was afraid that Liu Ershuan would spread rumors everywhere.
Except for Liu Yinyin, the brothers were all covered in mud. Liu Ershuan obviously didn't believe him: "If it's wild vegetables, why are you hiding it so strictly? If it's really wild vegetables, can you show me?"
Wild vegetables are not good things, so there is no need to hide them.
Liu Mingyuan was not in such a good mood. He snorted and said unhappily, "Who are you? Why should we show you what we dug?"
The villagers went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and whoever found one got it all. They were lucky to have found wild yam, so they had no reason to feel guilty.
"You...if you don't show it to me, it means you are lying. There must be something good in the basket!" Liu Ershuan said with his neck stiff.
Liu Mingyuan glared at him and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"
He was in a hurry to go back, otherwise someone else might come over and it would be even harder to explain.
Liu Mingyuan has rolled up his sleeves now. If Liu Ershuan doesn't know his place anymore, he will really take action.
Young people are full of energy and there is no more direct and effective way to solve problems than using fists.
Liu Ershuan: “…”
The three brothers of the Liu family were all tall and strong, and he really didn't dare to provoke them alone.
Liu Ershuan looked up and down at the people in front of him with confusion in his eyes.
However, he didn't dare to say anything and walked away without saying a word.
"I hope he won't tell anyone about our affairs." Liu Mingyuan muttered softly.
"Who cares? We didn't do anything bad." Liu Mingyuan said indifferently. Even if he knew, what would it matter?
If they have the ability, they can also go to the mountains to look for yam!
Liu Yinyin felt a little uneasy and warned, "Brother, you have to be careful when you go up the mountain tomorrow."
She was afraid that someone would follow them to the mountain.
Liu Yinyin has classes tomorrow, so she will not follow Liu Mingyuan and the others to the mountains to dig wild yams.
"I understand." Liu Mingyuan was also a little worried.
After separating from her brothers, Liu Yinyin carried the basket and returned home.
Jiang Cuihua helped Gu Yanyan learn to walk at home. The little guy is almost one year old now, and with someone supporting him, he can walk for a distance by swinging his chubby legs.
At this moment, Gu Yanyan was walking with unsteady steps, thinking only of walking out of the yard. He just wanted to go out and play.
By chance, I met Liu Yinyin coming back.
Gu Yanyan stood there in a daze, looked up at Liu Yinyin, and his dark eyes lit up: "Ah ah..."
"Are you back? Where are your brothers?" Jiang Cuihua asked impatiently.
Liu Yinyin took a few wild kiwis to the well to wash, saying, "They went home. We dug more than 100 kilograms of wild yams today, but we haven't finished digging yet. We have to go to the mountain again tomorrow."
In fact, we may not be able to finish digging them tomorrow, as we still have to pick wild kiwis.
Jiang Cuihua smiled widely upon hearing this: "That's great."
By digging so many wild yams, we can save a lot of food at home.
"Mom, I found some wild kiwis in the mountains. You can try them." Liu Yinyin gave the washed kiwis to Jiang Cuihua.
I also picked a bigger one, peeled it, and gave it to Gu Yanyan.
"It's quite delicious." Jiang Cuihua sighed. She really didn't expect that despite the weather this year, life at home wouldn't be so bad. In fact, there was more and more hope.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but glance at Liu Yinyin. The family was so well off, all thanks to the young lady.
The daughter-in-law is a blessed one, and her family also benefits from it.
"Mom." Liu Yinyin washed her hands and prepared to cook. She said to Jiang Cuihua, "Let's eat here tonight. I'll make a few more cakes."
Liu Yinyin has recently taken a liking to eating corn cakes with white rice porridge, which is simple and delicious.
