Lucky Wife at 50s

Chapter 419 Chapter 419

Qi Chunni hung the basket on her chest, and carefully put the picked bayberry into the basket.

Fortunately, they were well prepared when they went out today. They not only put baskets, but also sackcloths in the back basket. They also thought that if they encountered other good things when they went up the mountain, they would have something to pack.

This bayberry is squeamish and easily damaged, so it can only be put in a bamboo basket. For this reason, Qin Tianru also deliberately spread several layers of leaves in the basket.

In the end, the three picked a total of two full baskets of bayberry, which added up to at least 30 pounds, enough for them to eat.

Qi Qing couldn't help but pick up another bayberry in the basket and put it in her mouth, and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, shall we go back?"

Qin Tianru said, "Let's go shopping again, it's rare to go up the mountain once."

"Okay." Qi Qing has no objection at all, anyway, following her sister-in-law up the mountain won't hurt.

Qi Chunni thought they wanted to pick wild vegetables, so she couldn't help but talk about the recent situation in the mountains.

"The wild vegetables that can be eaten in the mountains have basically been picked bald during this time. Before everyone picked wild vegetables, there was an unclear rule, that is, the wild vegetables that just emerged were not picked, and they couldn't be uprooted. They had to wait for the wild vegetables. When they grow up, they can reproduce more wild vegetables before they can be harvested.

But recently, I don’t know which company did the wicked thing. Many wild vegetables were just plucked out as soon as they appeared. Obviously, this is not to leave a way for the villagers. According to their picking method, it is estimated that Before long, the whole mountain will be bald. "

Qi Qing said angrily, "No wonder when we went up the mountain just now, we saw that many places were bare."

Even someone who doesn't understand farming knows that if all the wild vegetables on the mountain are uprooted, it is equivalent to completely eradicating the roots, and I am afraid that new wild vegetable seedlings will not grow in the future.

This undoubtedly cut off the villagers' way of life, leaving everyone without wild vegetables to eat in the future.

This kind of person is really hateful. For the gluttony in front of him, he even cut off his future life.

"Hey, this is something that can't be helped, it's all for one bite."

Qi Chunni sighed slightly. During this time, the adults in the village were all busy, and the task of picking wild vegetables in the mountains to find food was handed over to the children at home.

Those children are all seven or eight years old, in their teens, how can they think so much, and they go home when they see what they can eat.

Qin Tianru listened quietly and looked thoughtful.

"Let's go, let's just stroll around, maybe we'll be lucky today."

Hearing her sister-in-law's words, Qi Qing agreed and trusted her incomparably, "Yes, maybe we can have an unexpected harvest today."

"All right."

Qi Chunni has no problem. Recently, their family has been much better, and they still have some food. They don't need to live as tightly as other families.

Since her father was taken away, her mother has also been frightened by her grandfather, for fear that her grandfather will take the decision to divorce her and return her to her mother's house. Now her mother is afraid to go out at home.

Moreover, the grandfather also handed over the rations distributed to their family for safekeeping. With the support of his grandfather, her mother didn't dare to beat the two sisters at will, except for a few words in private.

During this time, she was in charge of cooking, and some time ago, Auntie also taught the two sisters to pickle dried vegetables, so the two sisters are now eating better than before.

From the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, there was almost no sign of wild vegetables, but Qin Tianru wanted to find one very easily.

The mountain is so big, and the range of activities for the villagers is limited, and there are many hidden angles that they can't even notice.

During this time, most of the family eats dry or preserved food, and it is indeed time to change to fresh taste.

"Sister-in-law, isn't the path we took a little off?"

Qi Chunni often runs all over the mountains and has a certain understanding of the terrain in the mountains. Seeing that the route taken by her sister-in-law has gradually deviated from their usual range of activities, she can't help but feel a little worried.

Before Qin Tianru could answer, Qi Qing spoke first.

"Chun Ni, don't worry, my sister-in-law took us on the right path, we just follow her."

As if worried that Chun Ni would not believe it, Qi Qing took the trouble to add.

"Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is familiar with the terrain in the mountains, so she won't go the wrong way, and my sister-in-law's luck is very good, so you can just follow it with peace of mind."

"it is good."

Qi Chunni no longer expressed that she was also worried about their safety, but seeing that they were all calm and worry-free, she had nothing to worry about.

Soon, Qin Tianru stopped in one place, and she pointed out, "Look, what is that?"

Qi Qing looked confused again, and there was a large piece of green leaves in front of her eyes. The only difference was that these green leaves were growing on vines, and these vines were all crawling.

"Is this a pumpkin vine?"

Qi Chunni stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed, she immediately walked to the vine and checked it carefully to confirm.

"Sister-in-law, this is a pumpkin vine."

Qi Chunni was pleasantly surprised. How many pumpkins will there be from such a wild pumpkin vine? This pumpkin is a good thing.

Qi Qing asked in confusion, "Is this edible?"

"Miss Qing, this pumpkin tip is edible." Qi Chunni replied excitedly, and pointed the pumpkin tip to Qi Qing.

"Ah? How do you eat this?" Qi Qing was a little confused when she looked at the small handful of tender buds on the tip of the vine.

Qi Chunni explained happily, "This pumpkin tip can be fried, eaten cold, or made into soup, just like the leaves of other vegetables, and it can also be used as a dish."

This way of eating was told to her when her grandmother was alive a few years ago, saying that their generation had a hard life and dared to eat anything, so they found a lot of food.

"Really? Then let's pick some and go home to eat." Qi Qing didn't care that much. As long as she confirmed that it was edible, she had to get it home.

"Okay, there are quite a lot of vines in this area. It must be enough for us to pick a basket. It seems that we really have an unexpected harvest today."

At this moment, Qi Chunni really believed what Sister Xiaoqing said.

Of course, the main reason is the good luck of their sister-in-law. Everyone passes by this direction on weekdays, but no one has ever tried to walk in, but their sister-in-law just walked in.

Unexpectedly, there is such a surprise in this declination, it really is a matter of luck.

So, the two happily picked up the pumpkin tips, while Qin Tianru squatted in front of a pumpkin vine while they were not paying attention, touching the ground with both hands, and concentrated on the power in his hands.
