Song Tanglan just followed them around as a handyman. He let the two of them make decisions on many things, and he just followed silently by their side.
She would only give them suggestions when they encountered something they couldn't handle. To be honest, they were quite lucky after wandering around the mountains for more than a month.
They had encountered a wild boar before, but it was a single boar, not a group of wild boars. In addition, they had been hanging in the tree without making any sound. They waited until the wild boar had gone a long way away before they came down from the tree and went home. When they got back, they told Cheng Fangyuan the news.
The next day, Cheng Fangyuan found Sun Jianhua and went up the mountain with them. After searching in the area for three days, they finally found the wild boar living alone.
With the addition of Xu Qi, the four of them managed to kill the wild boar. Although everyone suffered minor injuries, the harvest was very rich.
In addition, the wild boar suddenly appeared in the periphery, which was very unsafe for the children who often ran around the periphery.
However, they did not report the killing of the wild boar to the team members. Instead, they secretly transported it back late at night and slaughtered the meat at the homes of the three educated youths. Su Tao lived in a more remote area, and few people went to the backyard, so it was safest to kill the wild boar at their home.
Song Tangzi had eaten wild boar meat many times, but this was the first time he saw a wild boar. He was shocked at the time. Later, when he saw the dead wild boar, he went over and kicked it lightly.
Finally, after they finished cleaning up the wild boar, there were more than 160 kilograms of meat. The four of them divided several dozen kilograms. They also specially cut off a few kilograms of meat for Xiaohu to take back. After all, it was the three of them who found it, and it would be a bit embarrassing if he was the only one left without meat.
Although Xiaohu was a child and didn't understand the ways of the world, he was happy to know that he had meat to eat.
But when he brought the meat home, he was surrounded and interrogated by a group of people in his family. Finally, he knew the whole story and was able to save his butt from being injured. After the Cheng family knew about it, they didn't say anything more and pickled the meat.
After dinner, Cheng Fangyuan sent another 10 kilograms of meat to Captain Cheng's home. He was afraid that Xiaohu had not explained it clearly to them, so he explained it again before going home.
…
"Aunt Lan, it's not time to pick the chestnuts yet. It might take a few more days, but there are so many on this tree. I saw some with cracks, so they should fall to the ground soon."
After saying that, he slid down from the tree nimbly and picked up the backpack on the ground.
"Then let's come back in a few days. This tree is a bit high, and I'm still a little worried about you climbing it. Then we can call my second brother-in-law and have him shake the chestnuts down. We'll pick them up from the ground. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay. If my uncle is not free, we can look for my dad. My dad is very free." After saying this, Xiaohu dusted himself off and continued to lead the way. However, his tone made it sound as if his dad only ate and did not work.
"Okay!" Song Tanglan also smiled at this. There was a reason why she didn't call Su Tao and the others this time. They found that there were only a few nut trees that no one knew about. Even if they called their friends together, they couldn't share much, not to mention that this could fill their stomachs.
In the end, all the fruits they picked were not enough for them to eat in the winter. Moreover, she believed that even if Su Tao and the others knew, they would not mind her not telling them.
Besides, they often go to the mountains and know a lot of places, so there is no need to act together all the time.
When they arrived at the hazelnut tree they found, there were two hazelnut trees next to each other, and the hazelnuts on the trees were ready to be picked. When Song Tangzi heard Xiaohu say that they could pick them, he also climbed up the tree.
Song Tanglan looked at the 5-meter-high tree, her legs trembling a little. She could barely accept climbing a tree of two or three meters, but five meters was not within her consideration. She could only help out from below.
The two people above were chatting and laughing while picking nuts. Song Tanglan was bored so she wandered around nearby. Soon she found a small tree more than two meters high. She ran over happily, picked the ripe hazelnuts and put them in her backpack.
He didn't forget to say, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Zi, I found a very short hazelnut tree here. I'll pick some here first. Call me when you need help."
"Okay, Fourth Sister, you have to be careful."
"Uh-huh!"
After Song Tanglan picked all the hazelnuts from the trees, she started picking up those on the ground. At first she thought there wouldn't be too many, but unexpectedly, her backpack was full as she picked.
Only then did he look up and ask the two people in the tree, "Have you picked enough?"
Xiaohu was picking hazelnuts and shaking them to the ground. Many of them fell to the ground with a clatter. He also picked up some of the more stubborn ones and put them into the basket. Now that he was reminded of this, he finally reacted and looked at the backpack hanging not far away. He found that most of it was already filled, so he said.
"Aunt Lan, I'm almost full."
"Me too, me too. I also need to leave room for the herbs underneath!"
After hearing this, Song Tanglan clapped his hands and stood up.
"Come down carefully, give me the backpack, and I'll catch it for you."
"good."
After the two of them came down, they started picking up the things on the ground. Song Tanglan also helped to pick up the things. She put the extra things into the space. During this time, she stuffed all the things that could not fit in the backpack into the space and sorted them out when she returned.
Gradually, she got into the habit of using the backpack as a cover, and put some food into the space from time to time, so that she could get more food home.
"Sister, my place is full too. Do you have any empty seats?"
Song Tanglan looked at his backpack, then looked at the small pile of hazelnuts on the ground, and finally put his hand into the backpack and put some more in.
"There's still a little space."
