Just as Yun Xiaoxiao had guessed, there were plenty of mushrooms here.
There are more on other mountains.
However, many of them were already rotten, which is a real shame.
Without further ado, the two began their search.
They didn't even miss those that were in full bloom.
In just half a day, the basket was full.
They had no choice but to head home.
Yuan Shitou wanted Yun Xiaoxiao to carry the basket for him.
Yun Xiaoxiao did not agree.
Unlike other things, mushrooms cannot be placed on top of heavy objects.
Besides, this weight is nothing to them.
Mr. Yuan was still weaving baskets in the yard.
He has already woven more than a dozen of the baskets that Yun Xiaoxiao drew.
I think it's pretty good, quite nice-looking.
With nothing else to do, he continued weaving baskets to pass the time.
They were quite surprised to see Yuan Shitou and the others return.
"Why are you back so early?"
Wow, where did you pick so many mushrooms?
"We've found a mushroom nest!"
Hearing the noise, Yuan's mother came out.
Holding Gou Dan'er in her arms.
Dog Egg lay listlessly in her arms, looking very listless.
Seeing so many mushrooms surprised me: "Are there really so many mushrooms on the mountain?"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Did you go to Misty Mountain?"
Yuan Shitou's eyelids twitched, and he subtly moved away from his mother.
Yun Xiaoxiao happily hugged Gou Dan'er from Yuan's mother's arms.
"Is Gou Dan feeling any better? Still feeling listless?"
Mother Yuan nodded with a worried look on her face: "Yes, it's the same as last night."
I've had diarrhea three times this morning.
I'm really worried, how can his little body handle it?
The village's only barefoot doctor has gone on another long trip.
She had no choice but to pick some herbs herself, boil them in water, and force-feed the water to Gou Dan'er, but it still didn't help.
Yun Xiaoxiao was also very anxious.
Suddenly her eyes lit up: "I thought of a kind of herb that can cure diarrhea."
I'll go get it and let him try it.
After saying that, he ran off in a flash.
Yuan Shitou hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Xiaoxiao, where are you going to pull this?"
He was afraid that Yun Xiaoxiao would run up the mountain, so he had to follow her.
As soon as I ran outside, I saw Yun Xiaoxiao outside on the edge of the field, pulling a blade of grass and shaking off the mud as she came back.
"Isn't this purslane? It can even cure diarrhea."
Yuan Shitou asked, somewhat incredulously.
Yun Xiaoxiao was too lazy to say more to him: "Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it."
In the short time I was out, Gou Dan'er pooped again.
Xiao Xiao quickly washed the purslane clean and then fried it.
It was ready in no time.
I quickly scooped out half a bowl, blew on it to cool it down, and took it out.
Dog Egg was very well-behaved and drank the soup from the spoon held by Yun Xiaoxiao.
While stroking Gou Dan'er's head, Yuan's mother said with heartache, "Diarrhea is the worst thing for a person."
Look, he's gotten so thin he's practically unrecognizable.
Dog Egg likes Yun Xiaoxiao. After drinking his medicine, he reaches out to her, wanting her to hug him.
Yuan's mother took this opportunity to cook.
Many families have already started eating, but her family hasn't started yet.
Thinking that Xiaoxiao and the others had gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms, they definitely wouldn't be back by noon.
In addition, Gou Dan stayed nestled in her arms the whole time.
I figured I could just grab something to eat later.
But then Xiao Xiao and the others came back.
After dinner, Xiaoxiao took Gou Dan'er to rest.
Everyone else was processing mushrooms.
The mushrooms that were previously sun-dried have now dried.
It's good to collect these so I can dry the other mushrooms.
Purslane is indeed effective in treating diarrhea.
After drinking just half a bowl of water, Gou Dan'er slept very soundly during his afternoon nap.
There was no sign of diarrhea at all.
Yuan's mother came in to check several times.
I was relieved to see that everything was alright.
It's most pitiful when children are sick.
Adding to the fact that Gou Dan'er has neither father nor mother, he is even more pitiful.
If he grows up, even if the children in the village don't scold him, he will definitely feel a sense of loss.
I used to think that after Shi Tou got married, I would register Gou Dan'er under his name.
That way, Gou Dan'er will have parents.
I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to be so small.
We still have several years before we get married.
By then, Gou Dan'er will be old enough to remember things.
As she pondered this, Yuan's mother left the house.
Yun Xiaoxiao was also tired, and since she had gotten up early in the morning, she slept very soundly.
Seeing that Gou Dan'er was still asleep, I checked his pants and found nothing wrong.
Only then did he quietly get out of bed.
All the mushrooms have been processed.
Yuan's mother and Yuan Shitou have disappeared.
Only Yuan's father was left to wrap the basket.
There are many baskets, hampers, and other similar items at home.
Some families in the village also come to buy, but they don't need much.
There is a large bamboo grove outside Yuanjia Courtyard.
They all belong to the original Stone family.
There are other places too, so nobody comes here to cut them.
This was perfect for Yuan's father, as he could use it to get rid of small things.
Not long after, Yuan Shitou returned carrying a piece of wood.
Xiao Xiao knew that the wood he cut down was to be used to build a house.
She has no say in the matter of building houses.
The main problem is that she knows absolutely nothing about architecture.
Although the houses built in the new era are tall and beautiful.
But he didn't know how to build it.
And these people living deep in the mountains and forests have inherited many of the skills of their ancestors.
The houses that were built were exceptionally sturdy.
Although they are all thatched huts, they can still be lived in for many years.
When they have free time, they go up the mountain to cut down trees and bring home the ones they like.
Let it air dry naturally.
It will be useful when you want to build a house later.
Yuan Shitou is very diligent; he has already piled up dozens of them.
They were all covered with straw mats to prevent them from rotting from the wind and sun.
After setting down the tree, Yuan Shitou went to the front and began sharpening his knife.
Yun Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Brother Stone, are you still going to cut down trees?"
Yuan Shitou shook his head: "I'm not going."
I'm just sharpening the knife.
Yuan Shitou was very skilled at sharpening knives, and he finished sharpening them very quickly.
Looking at the sky, Yuan's mother had not yet returned.
Ask Yun Xiaoxiao, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook."
Yuan Shitou can cook.
And it was done quite well.
Yun Xiaoxiao wasn't being coy.
She'll be taking Gou Dan'er with her later.
"Anything is fine with me, I'm not picky."
Yuan Shitou is a man who can be careless at times, but also incredibly meticulous at others.
Not only did they cook the meal, they also prepared the medicine for Gou Dan'er.
At this time, Yuan's mother had not yet returned.
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shitou, where did Mother go? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Yuan Shitou was a restless man; he was helping his father organize the bamboo strips.
Hearing Yun Xiaoxiao's question, she turned her head and replied, "Mother is going to check if the corn in the field can be harvested."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao asked anxiously, "Could something have happened? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Yuan Shitou shook his head: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
I just saw her talking to someone in the village; she should be back soon, right?
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yuan's mother returned.
His face was full of sighs.
Yun Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Mother, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Yuan's mother seemed to still have some lingering fear: "Sigh, Fan Xiaohua really knows how to cause trouble."
They've only been out for a few days, and they're already causing trouble again.
