Chapter 69: Go crazy on your own, no one will play with you
The backpack was soon filled with chestnuts, walnuts and sour dates.
"Aying, what is this?" Seeing Su Ying picking a strange fruit, Su Laoer and Su Laosan were puzzled.
"Oil-tea fruit!" Su Ying picked half a basket of them.
In order to eat candy, Su Zhaoyan and Su Biaoyan followed Su Ying with a dustpan, which was just right for filling with oil tea fruits.
Su Ying picked two tea buds for her cousin, and the two children ate them happily. Her cousin knew a lot and could recognize many foods.
By hanging out with my cousin, I can not only learn a lot of things, but also get food.
"Tea fruit? What's it used for?" Su Laosan knew that his niece would not do anything useless.
"Press the oil and use it for cooking. Tea oil is a good thing! Only the rich and powerful can eat it!" Su Ying said with a smile.
"Although this place is remote, there are so many good things in the mountains! As long as we work hard, we will be able to live a good life in no time, without going hungry and even having enough to spare!"
"You also know how to press oil?" Su Laoer was surprised.
"Uncle, have you ever seen oil pressing?" Su Ying asked.
"I have seen it!" Su Laoer nodded.
No matter how poor people are, they always need to eat vegetable oil and animal oil to supplement their body needs.
The three brothers of the Su family had naturally gone to the oil mill to press oil, and they had witnessed the entire process of ancient oil pressing and were familiar with it.
"The oil extracted from tea-oil fruits is almost the same as that from sesame and soybeans. It would be great if there was an oil press in the village! It's a shame to have so many tea-oil fruits rotting in the fields."
"Then what's the use of picking them?" Su Laoer was puzzled. Without an oil press, the oil tea fruit could not be used to extract oil.
"If there is no oil press, we can use another method. The oil yield may be lower, but it is better than wasting it!" Su Ying said with a smile.
"Aying is still quick-witted!" Su Laosan thought and realized that this was true.
The uncle and nephew looked for tea oil trees nearby, not too many, not too few, but they only picked a few and filled their backpacks.
When I wanted to pick more, I found that all the backpacks were full of mountain products.
"Let's go!" Su Bucheng urged.
The sky was not clearly visible in the dense forest, it was a little dark, and intuitively I knew it was at least 2:15 PM.
Everyone looked at how many mountain products they had brought, yet they only touched a little of the fur on the hillside. They were reluctant to leave and wished they had brought more backpacks.
"Don't be greedy, be careful of wild animals coming out! Let's go!" Su Bucheng said without hesitation, "Second brother, you stay behind, I'll lead the way."
"No need, brother!" Su Lao Er replied.
Zhao Yan and Bing Yan followed Su Ying, holding a dustpan filled with some tea fruits. They didn't walk far before their little faces turned red.
There is nothing light on a long journey.
Although the backpack and basket are heavy, they free up your arms.
The two little guys kept holding it, which was very strenuous, and soon their arms felt heavy.
"Come, give it to me!" Su Boyan took Zhaoyan's dustpan and asked Zhongyan to pour it into his backpack.
Seeing this, Su Shiyan took over Bing Yan's and had someone pour it into his own backpack.
The two little guys refused, but I had to take some back no matter what. That was my victory, otherwise I would have no sense of accomplishment.
"The road is not easy to walk on. I'll give it back to you when we get out of the forest!" Su Boyan coaxed.
The two children then let go and shook their sore arms.
At six quarters past You, I walked out of the woods.
Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei were getting extremely anxious, while little Qin pushed them and kept crying and cursing.
"Give me back my child, give me back my child! You people with bad consciences must have harmed my Zhao Yan! Go find him! Go find him!"
"Husband!" Mrs. Du anxiously grabbed Su Bucheng, "Zhao Yan and Bing Yan are missing!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, Zhaoyan and Bingyan are here with us, just behind us!" Su Bucheng comforted.
"Zhao Yan! Where are you?" Xiao Qinshi hurriedly ran into the woods.
"Bingyan!" Wei also followed, feeling uneasy when he didn't see anyone.
"How could they not tell you when they went into the mountains with you?" Mrs. Du breathed a sigh of relief.
"I followed quietly and almost lost her!" Su Bucheng said, "Luckily, Ying heard the crying, otherwise I would be in trouble."
"It was so scary! I thought he was taking a nap in the house, but when it got dark, I realized there was no one in the house." Mrs. Du patted her chest.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Du, Mrs. Wei, and Old Mrs. Su were sowing seeds, planting vegetables, and watering the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and had no time to take care of the children.
Xiao Qin had slept enough and came out to wait for dinner, without remembering that her son was not there.
It was Wei. After finishing her work, she suddenly realized that there were only a few women but the two boys were missing. She asked Xiao Qin where the two little guys had gone.
The two brothers loved playing together since they were young, Jiao was inseparable from Meng, and Meng was inseparable from Jiao.
Xiao Qin rolled her eyes and said, "How would I know? The legs are on his body, not mine."
Wei's heart skipped a beat and he immediately felt something was wrong.
Only then did I realize that I had heard the two little guys making noises all afternoon.
Wei was panicking. There were mountains everywhere here. If the child was missing, he might have encountered a wild beast or got lost in the mountains. What should he do?
Xiao Qin was very anxious at this moment. She jumped three feet high and pulled Du and Wei, insisting that they deliberately murdered Zhao Yan.
Mrs. Du was calmer and suspected that the child had followed Su Bucheng and the others into the mountains.
When I came to the edge of the woods, I didn't dare to go in rashly.
It's getting late and I'm not familiar with the road. I can't go in to look for anyone. If I get lost again, it will only make things worse.
The best way is to wait at the intersection and wait patiently for Su Bucheng and the others to come out.
Xiao Qin refused and pushed Du and Wei, asking them to go in quickly to find the child.
Fortunately, the child is really in the team, otherwise, no one will have peace tonight!
"Zhao Yan! Zhao Yan!" Xiao Qin rushed into the woods like a mad woman.
"Mother!" Su Zhaoyan ran towards Xiao Qinshi happily, "We picked up a lot of mountain products..."
"Pa!" Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qin slapped him hard in the face.
"Why are you so greedy? You're like a starving ghost reincarnated! Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! You believe everything others say! You'd be happy if wild beasts devoured you!"
Xiao Qin started cursing.
"Wow..." Su Zhaoyan covered his face, his joy was shattered, and he burst into tears.
"Zhao Yan, what's wrong?" Su Lao Er caught up from behind. They were almost home, why was he crying again?
"Second Brother Su, you are crazy because of poverty! You don't even want to give up your son's life just to pick up these junk!" Xiao Qin rushed over and grabbed her husband.
"Qin!" Su Bucheng shouted, "You dare to make trouble? I'll tell you to get out right now!"
Xiao Qinshi paused her hand that was grabbing her husband's face and slowly withdrew it. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that if she left the Su family at this time, she would only starve to death and would never be able to leave Black Wind Township.
"Let's go!" Xiao Qin couldn't throw a tantrum, so she dragged her youngest son back.
"I don't want it!" Su Zhaoyan held his father's hand, preventing Xiao Qinshi from touching him.
His mother acted like a madman just now, which made him feel strange and scared.
"Are you leaving or not?" Xiao Qin was furious. Even her youngest son didn't listen to her!
"Jiu Niang, we're home. Zhao Yan knows how to walk by himself!" Su Lao Er took his youngest son by the hand and walked around Xiao Qinshi.
"Mom! Let's go!" Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan pulled Xiao Qin.
"Leave me alone! I'm not your mother!" Little Qin took out her anger on her two older sons.
The joyful atmosphere was disrupted by Xiao Qinshi, and everyone walked around her.
If you want to go crazy, go on your own, no one will play with you.
