Return to the small mountain village in 1981

Chapter 77 78: Picking up fungi
They had already watered the corn fields and sorghum fields in front of them, and the two of them walked through the red potato fields.

It hasn't rained, and the red sweet potato vines are growing beautifully.The crops on the mountain are waiting for a heavy rain to give them a good meal.

"If it doesn't rain, the sweet potato vine will dry out."

"It's just that I can't even cut some red sweet potato vines to feed the pigs!"

When the two of them arrived at Bao Valley, they went to work in the fields.

Zhang Xiuxiang, who was in front, turned around and said, "Chunyan, look at the youngest and Erchun coming down the mountain."

When the two of them approached, Zhao Huifang pointed at Zhou Huaian, "It's over. The youngest must have been stung by a bee. Not only has his face become fatter, but his lips are also warped."

After hearing this, Yang Chunyan looked up and said, "I wonder if the poisonous needle has been picked out?"

"They are in the mountains, where can they find trouble?"

"Yan'er, I was stung by a black wasp!"

His eyes were squinted, and his upper lip was thickly raised, as if someone had stuck a sausage on it. His face had also become fatter, and Zhou Huaian, who looked like a swollen green bun, stood a few feet tall. In front of people.

"Oh my god, hahaha..." Li Qiuyue laughed so hard that she almost trampled a corn to death. She hurriedly held the dung ladle and said, holding back her laughter, "Youngest, are you just stealing the honeycomb?"

Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes at her, "Asking even though you know it!"

Yang Chunyan held back her laughter and stepped forward, "Have you pulled out the poisonous needle?"

Zhou Huaian glanced at her and looked at the women who were laughing so hard that they couldn't stand upright. He was so depressed that he didn't want to speak.

Xu Erchun couldn't help laughing and said: "He didn't pull it out. He pulled some mountain whip, crushed it and applied it on it. It felt less painful, but the swelling is still a bit fierce!"

Yang Chunyan looked at Zhou Huaian and said, "Go back and take two pills of the medicine I bought last time. You should be fine."

Zhou Huaian looked at her dissatisfied, "Why don't you go back and help me pick out the poisonous needles?"

Zhao Huifang smiled and said: "Chunyan, we are here. You and the youngest go back and pick out the poisonous needles. Hurry up!"

Yang Chunyan had no choice but to follow him home. Xu Erchun took off the bamboo pole and handed it to Zhou Huaian, "I won't go in. When it gets dark, I'll call you to take care of the eels."

After that, she winked at him and reminded him to remember to talk about his sister-in-law!

No matter where they go, they are not welcomed by the adults. Every time they have a party, they go to Zhou Ding's house where no one cares about them and no one looks down on them.

Zhou Huaian nodded, "Call me when you arrive."

"I want it!" Xu Erchun waved and left.

Zhou Huaian carried a bamboo pole on his back, and the two of them entered the yard one after another. Zhou Jiakang was beating plums in the backyard with a bamboo pole to eat. When he saw him coming in, he was stunned for a moment before he recognized him.

"Ya Dad, you look so weird!" The little guy said, dropped the bamboo pole and ran towards the front yard, "Grandma, grandma, Yao Dad was stung by a bee!"

Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "I've already made the bee hat. It's not too late to harvest honey tomorrow!"

"Where will I go tomorrow? I don't know if I'm still here!"

"Forget it if you're not here!" Yang Chunyan pursed her lips, "How many stings did you get?"

Zhou Huaian was a little happy after hearing what she said, but when he saw her purse her lips to hold back her laughter, he glanced at her, "Cruel mother-in-law, I'm hurting you to death and you're still laughing!"

The two arrived at the front yard. Zhou's mother stood on the eaves and laughed out loud when she saw Zhou Huaian's swollen forehead and lips. "It's up and down. It looks like it's the right one for the sting!"

Looking at Zhou's mother who was smiling so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, Zhou Huaian became depressed and looked at her dissatisfied, "Mom, did you pick me up on the mountain?"

"I picked it up. I picked up fungi from the mountain!" Zhou's mother smiled and took the wooden basin to fetch water.

Yang Chunyan went back to the room to get a needle, poured two more pills, went out and said to Zhou Huaian, "Go wash your face, and I'll give you some water to take the medicine."

"It's ready, hurry up and wash it!" Mother Zhou put the hot water on the eaves of the steps.Zhou Huaian took the medicine, Yang Chunyan burned the needle, and asked him to sit facing the light. He found a black spot with a needle tip on his forehead and upper lip, and gently took out the poisonous needle, "It's okay, I'll do it tomorrow." The swelling has gone down.”

"There is honey in the urea bag. You go find a jar and take it out. I will cut off the pollen and put it in it. The rest will be sold in the city."

"Your face is swollen like this. Are you going to sell it tomorrow?"

"Put it in a bucket and go to Ning'an the day after tomorrow." Zhou Huaian looked at her and touched his face, "Isn't it ugly?"

Yang Chunyan couldn't help laughing, "Go back and look in the mirror!"

Zhou Huaian stood up and sat back, "Forget it, I definitely don't have the eyes to see."

Yang Chunyan smiled and went back to the house to bring over the small wooden bucket. The two of them picked out the honey spleen and put it in the bucket. "Last time, the swarm of wild bees didn't sting you. Are the ones this time very fierce?"

Zhou Huaian picked up a complete piece of capped honey and said, "This kind of honey was found in the gaps between stones. The honey bees are small row bees. The small row bees are docile and don't sting very much. The one that stung me is the black bee that produces large honey. Bee, I was stung when I went up the tree to cut the honey."

Yang Chunyan saw that what he said was clear and logical, and nodded with a smile, "It seems that you know a lot about wild bees. When I make the bee hat for you, and when I cut the labor cloth to make clothes for you, you won't be afraid of wild bees when you go up the mountain. Bee stung.”

"Ordinary wild bees are fine without wearing denim. But if it's a hornet," Zhou Huaian thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it would have to be made of raincoat material to prevent it from stinging."

"I didn't give you the denim clothes to catch cows and bees."

"Don't worry, I won't catch cow bees, even if you ask me." Zhou Huaian put the piece of nest spleen with pollen into a small jar, and cut some honey to put it in, "This belongs to the little black bee. Pollen, I used to go to town to sell honey, and the lady at the purchasing station said that it is good for women to drink."

"You and Erchun went to cut it together, why don't we pick it up?"

"I told Erchun that I intentionally cut this piece back to mix it with water for you to drink!"

"Just make it clear so that everyone doesn't feel alienated!"

"It's okay if you don't say it. How can our brothers be so stingy!"

Zhou Huaian scraped off the honey from the urea bag and put it into a bucket, then went to the well to fetch water to clean the urea bag. Yang Chunyan took the bucket and jar back to the room and put them away, then went to the kitchen to help Zhou's mother cook.

Zhou Huaian dragged the lounge chair to the door of the hall, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The sausages were cleaned yesterday. All I need to do is peel the lettuce and potatoes and braise them.

When Zhou's mother saw her coming, she asked her to pick some chrysanthemums from the fields and bring them back, make soup and dip them in water to eat.

People who don't like chrysanthemum think it smells like bugs, but people who like it think it's refreshing and delicious whether it's eaten cold or in soup.

Yang Chunyan carried the basket to the vegetable patch and picked out a basket full of chrysanthemums. Her nose was filled with its unique smell.

Eating some chrysanthemum in moderation can increase appetite, help digestion and appetite, and can also facilitate urination and prevent constipation.

As soon as she came out of the vegetable field, several children ran in swarm. Zhou Jiaming was carrying a small bamboo basket on his back, Zhou Xiaoqian was carrying a silk bag, followed by Zhou Jialiang and others.

Yang Chunyan saw Zhou Xiaolin staggering due to being pulled by Zhou Jialiang, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, "Okay, walk slowly when you get home, don't run away!"

Zhou Jiaming turned around and asked her to look inside the bamboo basket, "Auntie, we cut a lot of half flowers and sell them to you for money!"

Yang Chunyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, Auntie will sell the money to buy you delicious food!"

Zhou Jialin pointed to Kuidou, "Auntie, eat Guoguo!"

Zhou Xiaoqian put down her bag and said, "Auntie, look, we picked a lot of wild sweet potatoes!"

Yang Chunyan saw half a pocket of wild sweet potatoes in her pocket and asked, "Is it sweet?"

Zhou Xiaoqian nodded, "Sweet, you're all red!"
