The happy little days of the Ye family

On the third day after the fruit seedlings were planted, it started raining at night. The rain was not heavy, but it rained continuously for two days and two nights, and it stopped raining in the evening of the third day.

As soon as it stopped raining, Mr. Ye and the village chief immediately went to the mountain to check on the fruit trees and honeysuckle.

Fortunately, the rain in the past two days was not heavy, and the fruit trees and honeysuckle were not knocked down by the wind. Moreover, after being moistened by the rain, some young leaves have grown on the fruit trees and honeysuckles, and some wilted honeysuckles have also come back to life.

The old man finally felt relieved, these fruit trees and honeysuckle finally stood up.

Mr. Ye went to the bamboo forest again. After being moistened by the rain, a lot of bamboo shoots sprouted in the bamboo forest, including some bamboo fungus. Mr. Ye saw that it was getting late and did not dare to stay any longer. He had to go home first and planned to come over tomorrow to pick bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus.

After Mr. Ye returned home, he told Mrs. Ye about the situation of the bamboo forest in Xiaohoushan.

Old Mrs. Ye plans to go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain to pick bamboo fungus tomorrow. "The small back mountain is my own, so don't worry. You and I will pick bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest in the back mountain early tomorrow morning. There should be a lot of bamboo in the bamboo on the other side of the stream." After picking the bamboo fungus, we will go to the mountain to pick mushrooms."

"Xiuxiu, take Qingqing to the bamboo forest in Xiaohou Mountain to pick bamboo fungus tomorrow. If we don't go, I'm afraid some greedy guy will go to Xiaohou Mountain to pick mushrooms secretly."

Old Mrs. Ye thought for a while and decided to let Ye Mu take Ye Qingqing to Xiaohou Mountain to pick bamboo fungus.

"Okay, would you like to dig some bamboo shoots back?"

"You two are weak, just pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots. In the evening, we and the two brothers Donglin will drive the donkey cart to dig bamboo shoots." With the donkey cart at home, it is much more convenient to go to the town or the mountains.

The soil in the small back mountain is not as fertile as the back mountain, and the trees do not grow as well as in the back mountain, so there are fewer mushrooms, but there are a lot of bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing each carried a large backpack on their backs and a huge basket in their hands. They talked and laughed all the way to the bamboo forest in Xiaohou Mountain.

It rained for two days and two nights, and many snow-white cuties appeared in the bamboo forest. You can see delicious bamboo fungus without opening the bamboo leaves.

Ye Mu asked Ye Qingqing to put the basket on the ground, and then the two of them carried the big basket through every corner of the bamboo forest.

Fist-sized bamboo fungus fell into the basket one after another. Within half an hour, the baskets in their hands were filled with delicious bamboo fungus.

Ye Mu poured two baskets full of bamboo fungus into the basket on her back, and soon there were more than half of the bamboo fungus in the basket.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing drank water and rested for a while before continuing to travel through various corners of the bamboo forest.

The two of them were like two giant mice, turning the entire bamboo forest upside down, and not a single fresh bamboo fungus that had just grown escaped their hands.

The two worked hard for more than an hour and collected two baskets of bamboo fungus. The backpack was not very full. Mother Ye weighed it and found that it weighed about ten kilograms.

Ye Mu took Ye Qingqing to the mountainside to pick mushrooms again. Although there are not as many mushrooms in the small back hill as in the back hill, there are few people picking mushrooms here.

There are not many varieties of mushrooms that can be picked in Xiaohoushan, only gallinopsis, coprinus and green head mushrooms.

The chicken meat is thick and white, with a texture that is fresh and tender, just like chicken. It is fragrant and delicious whether stir-fried, deep-fried, steamed or made into soup.

Coprinus comatus is named for its shape like a chicken leg and meat like chicken shreds. It grows rapidly after rain and is mostly found in grasslands and woods.

The green head fungus is named after its green color. It has a mellow and tender taste, is very tender in the mouth, and has a long fragrance.

Ye Qingqing looked at the basket full of fungi and couldn't help but lick his lips.

"You little greedy cat, let's take the bamboo fungus and mushrooms home first, eat something and then come over to pick mushrooms in the afternoon."

When Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing returned home, they saw bamboo fungus drying in the yard, thinking that Mr. Ye and an old lady must have been back.

Ye Mu took two egg pancakes that were warming in the pot and ate them with Ye Qingqing one by one. Mrs. Ye made this pancake in the morning and specially made some for lunch.

As soon as the mother and daughter finished eating, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye came back. The two of them didn't pick many mushrooms, and both backpacks were only 7 points full.

Old Mrs. Ye poured the collected mushrooms into the yard to dry. In addition to gallinopterus, coprinus and green-headed mushrooms, there were also a lot of black fungus.

Black fungus, also known as black cabbage and fungus, mostly grows on rotten tree trunks. Ye Qingqing's favorite is buns wrapped with black fungus.

"There are too many people picking mushrooms in the back mountain, and there are also many people digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. We will not go to the back mountain in the afternoon. We will go to the small back mountain to dig bamboo shoots and mushrooms." Mrs. Ye carefully picked up the mushrooms. Spread it out bit by bit.

"There are a lot of mushrooms in Xiaohoushan, and there are a lot of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. If you don't dig them out, they will be old in two days." Ye Mu took out the pancakes from the pot, poured two more glasses of water and put them on the table.

After eating, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye didn't rest. They drove the donkey cart directly to Xiaohou Mountain with Ye Qingqing and her daughter.

Mr. Ye was very strong and stayed in the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, while Mrs. Ye took Ye Qingqing and Ye Muye to pick mushrooms.

Before Huiye arrived, the basket in Mrs. Ye's hand was filled with delicious mushrooms. "No one usually comes here in the back mountain. There are so many mushrooms on this mountain."

Ye Mu said with a smile: "Those naughty boys in the village run to the back mountain three times a day. Where can there be any good things left on the mountain?"

There is no place to play in the village. Xiaohoushan has almost become the back garden of Taohua Village. Brothers Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin in Xiaohoushan will walk away with their eyes closed.

If they want to pick mushrooms or hunt, villagers usually choose mountains farther away, while a few choose to go to Xiaohou Mountain.

"Mom, grandma, I caught a rabbit, such a fat rabbit." Ye Qingqing ran over holding a fat gray rabbit.

"What a fat rabbit. It weighs at least seven or eight pounds. How did you catch it?" Mrs. Ye grabbed the fat rabbit that had fainted and tied it up with some thin vines.

"I was picking mushrooms there just now and saw this fat rabbit eating grass. I was just about to cover it with a backpack, but when it heard the sound, it suddenly hit the tree next to it and fainted."

"Hahaha, you are such a stupid rabbit. You are giving us an advantage. Let's go back and make hot pot rabbits at night." Ye Qingqing put her hands on her hips and smiled happily.

"Haha, this is what the book says about waiting for the rabbit. Even if luck comes, you can't stop it." Ye Qingqing jumped up and down with the basket and went to the place where the rabbit was caught to pick mushrooms.

When the three of them returned to the bamboo forest with a load of mushrooms on their backs, Mr. Ye had already dug three sacks of bamboo shoots, two sacks were already on the donkey cart, and another bag was being moved to the donkey cart.

"Xiuxiu, you and Qingqing take the donkey cart back to make dinner first. Donglin and Xilin will come over after they get off school." Mrs. Ye handed the fat rabbit to Mother Ye.

"I'm not going back. I'm going to stay to pick mushrooms. Maybe I can catch another fat rabbit." When the children were playing, Ye Qingqing didn't want to go back at all.

"Okay, you pick mushrooms here, and I'll go back and cook first." Children are all playful, and Ye's mother didn't restrain the children in the family too much.

Mother Ye put the rabbit in the basket and put some pigweed on top of the full basket to ward off the rabbit. Then he and Mr. Ye drove the donkey cart home.

Not long after, Mr. Ye took his two grandsons and drove the donkey cart to the bamboo forest.
