The happy little days of the Ye family

After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, they were almost rested. Mr. Ye hid three baskets full of bamboo fungus in the grass, and the three of them started walking up the mountain again with the empty baskets on their backs.

The three of them hummed unknown songs and talked and laughed along the way. Soon they discovered two chestnut trees. The two chestnut trees looked small and seemed to have grown in recent years.

"The few chestnut trees in the back mountain were targeted by the villagers for a long time in previous years. I didn't even eat a few of them. I didn't expect that there were chestnut trees here too. When they were fruiting, we secretly came over and picked all the chestnuts home. I Eat enough."

Looking at the two chestnut trees in front of her, Ye Qingqing seemed to see sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnut braised chicken and chestnut braised rice waving to her. She had just eaten and felt a little hungry again.

When they were approaching the top of the mountain, they found two more jujube trees, one big and one small. Ye Qingqing couldn't hold the big jujube tree with both hands. Compared with this one, the jujube tree at home was just a little brother.

The smaller jujube tree is actually not too small. It is about the same size as the jujube tree at home. It is probably grown from the fallen fruits of the big jujube tree.

The top of Xiaohou Mountain is full of small rocks. There are relatively few plants growing on the rocks. At first glance, they are bare except for some unknown weeds.

Looking at the bare mountaintop, Ye Qingqing was a little disappointed. "Why are there no honeysuckle here? There is a large one over there in the back mountain."

Ye Qingqing was thinking that everyone in the village knew that honeysuckle could be sold for money. Somehow the patch of honeysuckle on the top of the back mountain was not looked at by many people. It was not certain that many would be picked by then. It would be great if there were honeysuckle here too.

The more Mr. Ye looked at it, the more satisfied he became with this mountain. Although the soil here is not as fertile as the back mountain, it is not bad, and the terrain is gentle, and there are no dangerous large animals.

In the future, honeysuckle can be planted on the mountain. Honeysuckle, spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and toona wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain will probably be sold for a lot of money. And this is a lasting legacy that can be passed down to future generations.

"It's still early. Let's go down from the other side and see if there are any honeysuckles on the other side of the mountain. Unless we secretly transplant some honeysuckles, we can plant them here." At this time, Mr. Ye already had a clear idea. .

"It makes sense. Let's go to the other side while it's still dark. Maybe there are other good things."

Old Mrs. Ye is also very satisfied with this hill. The price of barren hills is cheap, and this year the court encourages land reclamation. I heard from the village chief before that the barren hills can be tax-free for 5 years, and the honeysuckle does not need to be taken care of. If it is planted for 5 years, it is estimated that the hill will be purchased. All the money will be back.

Ye Qingqing had no idea that this hill was about to become his own. He only thought about treasure hunting and happily started searching the mountain like a carpet.

The other side of Xiaohou Mountain is mostly filled with unknown miscellaneous trees and lush weeds. There are some honeysuckles that I miss, but not many. Small clumps are scattered in different corners of the mountain.

The three of them wandered around the mountain for a long time, and Mr. Ye found a persimmon tree. "This persimmon tree is really big. It should be able to bear a lot of fruits."

Mr. Ye looked at the trunk of the persimmon tree as thick as a bucket in front of him with satisfaction, and he was even more sure of his idea.

Ye Qingqing was also very happy. He walked around the huge persimmon tree and suddenly found a small persimmon seedling at his feet. The small seedling was only as tall as Ye Qingqing's calf, so he couldn't find it without paying attention.

"Grandpa, grandma, there is a persimmon seedling here. Let's dig it up and plant it in the backyard!"

Looking at the persimmon seedling in front of him, Ye Qingqing wanted to eat the persimmon cakes made by Mrs. Ye again. The sweet and soft persimmon cakes made him drool just thinking about them.

"These persimmon seedlings are still young, let's let them grow on the mountain first." Old Mrs. Ye on the side also nodded in agreement. Since she is determined to buy this hill, she can keep it on the mountain and plant it.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." The sun had already set on the top of the mountain in the distance at this time, and it would probably be dark if we didn't go back.

The three of them returned to the bamboo forest where they collected bamboo fungus. Mr. Ye put the bamboo fungus hidden in the grass into the backpacks of the three of them, and found some pigweed and put it on the top of the basket.

Just as she was preparing to go home, Mrs. Ye's sharp eyes spotted pheasant feathers on the edge of the grass. Mrs. Ye took the long bamboo pole she had just used to find bamboo fungus and carefully rummaged through the grass. Her hard work paid off and she finally found a nest of wild eggs in the grass not far away.

There were eight wild eggs in this nest. Old Mrs. Ye happily picked up the wild eggs, wrapped them in leaves and carefully put them in the basket behind her.

When she returned to the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Ye picked a large handful of toon and prepared to go back and make fried wild eggs with toon. The more Mrs. Ye thought about it, the more she thought about it, and she urged the two people behind her to go home quickly.

When they reached the foot of the back mountain, brothers Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin were already waiting. There were two baskets full of pigweed at their feet, and they waved to the three of them excitedly.

In the village, half-grown boys like the two brothers are already used as laborers. The Ye family has little land and usually does not need their children to work in the fields. However, after the brothers return from school, they go to the back mountains to collect pigweed.

The pigs at home are still small, so they eat several baskets of pigweed every day. If they are older, they will need to be beaten with pigweed several times a day.

Everyone in the Ye family would go directly to the back hill to cut pigweed when they had time, and the excess would be dried directly in the sun and fed to the pigs when it rained or when it was inconvenient to cut pigweed.

The brothers Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin had already planted pigweed, and they were waiting on their way back. When the flowers all withered, they saw the three of them coming back slowly.

"Don't worry, let's talk about it when we get back." Mr. Ye was afraid that his two grandsons would expose the young master in a careless way, so he urged his two grandsons to go home and make a fortune in silence, but not to cause trouble.

"Why are you back? Today is much later than yesterday. Did something happen?" When they walked to the door of the house, they happened to see Ye Fengshou walking out anxiously.

Father Ye and Mother Ye were a little uneasy when they didn't see the three people back for a long time. Mother Ye asked Father Ye to go out to look for them. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the door, they met several people coming back.

"Go back first." Both Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye were more cautious. At this time, everyone in the village was eating, but there were also people who came home late and passed by the door.

When the three people poured out the bamboo fungus from the basket, Ye's father and Ye's mother were shocked. Seeing that there were more bamboo fungus than yesterday, Ye's father had the idea of ​​going to the mountain to find mountain treasures again.

"It seems that there are a lot of good things in this small back mountain. These bamboo fungus weigh more than ten kilograms."

"There are indeed a lot of good things in Xiaohoushan. Your mother and I have an idea in mind. After dinner later, you and Xiuxiu come to my and your mother's room and we will discuss it."

Father Ye and Mother Ye looked at each other, and they already guessed what Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye were thinking. They probably wanted to buy Xiaohoushan.

Mrs. Ye brought the wild eggs and toon to Mother Ye, "I picked up a nest of wild eggs on the mountain. Xiuxiu, please use them to make scrambled eggs with toon. Let's pack up these bamboo fungus first."

"Okay, Mom." Mother Ye happily took the wild eggs and toon, turned around and went to the kitchen. It had been a long time since the family had scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, and Mother Ye was a little greedy.
