Chapter 53: A Heartwarming Moment

Three women in a play, the Zhou family’s mother and daughter plus Le Yun came together to form three, talking while working, most of the time it was the Zhou family’s mother and daughter who listened. Xiao Lele told jokes about going to the mountains to do research. For example, she finally found a relatively rare medicinal plant, and oh my god, some wild beast next to it pooped a big poop, and the stench filled the sky;

For another example, she saw a worm and was about to take a beautiful photo of it. She found a wild bee nest as big as a bowl hanging on the tree. The bees were frightened and spread their wings towards her. Flying here to settle accounts...

For the villagers living in the forest area, it is normal to encounter wild peaks and animals such as wild cats when climbing mountains. Trivial trivial things came out of the Le family girl's mouth. It was really wonderful, lively and interesting. She said it in a lively way, making the Zhou family's mother and daughter laugh sometimes, and sometimes get nervous, for fear of little Lele. Got stung all over my head by bees.

With more people and greater strength, the Zhou family’s mother and daughter worked quickly. Classmate Le turned on the plug-in speed and made sweet potatoes very quickly. The work in the garden in front of Le’s family was completed before ten o’clock. Go to the garden behind the house.

It was almost noon and the sun was relatively strong. The Zhou family’s mother and daughter were afraid that little Lele would be sunburned, so they sent her home and asked her to cook.

As the owner, Leyun didn’t waste time in the field. She ran home and washed her hands and feet cleanly. She first searched for ingredients to cook, then went to the refrigerator to find a pack of chicken. It was still Le’s father didn’t eat the half left over from the Dragon Boat Festival at home and kept it cold.

In summer, it won’t take long to thaw. Le Yun first looked for ingredients, washed a handful of wild mushrooms, Codonopsis pilosula and some tonics she picked up, and also washed a small group of Yunzhi to use as vegetables.

Go back and drain the water from the thawed chicken, make a fire, stir-fry the chicken in the pan until the oil comes out, add water, add medicinal herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula and dendrobium juice and simmer on high heat for half an hour. Reduce heat to simmer and add mushrooms when it is almost out of the oven.

Last year’s local chicken didn’t need to be simmered for too long. It took about fifty minutes to cook. I don’t eat hot pot on hot days and use a big soup bowl to serve it. Le Yun also used chicken soup to cook the versicolor mushrooms. .

By the time Little Lele called for dinner, the Zhou family's mother and daughter had already completed one-third of the work in the garden behind the Le's house, and the two of them stopped working and returned to the Le's house.

The fragrant aroma of the vegetables makes people hungry. When it comes to eating, Grandma Zhou picks up the chopsticks and picks up the wild mushrooms. Her mouth is full of fragrance, which makes her feel like she has been living in the belly of a dog for decades. It feels like gone.

“It’s delicious, so delicious.” Grandma Zhou was full of praise: “Lele has grown up, and the food she cooks is even more delicious than the hotel’s chef. I have eaten so much. The mushrooms have never tasted so delicious. I really don’t know who will be lucky enough to be Lele’s new mother in the future. I picked up such a good girl for nothing.”

Le Yun smiled so brightly that her eyes were shining. Grandma Zhou was so helpful and never forgot to speak up for her. She felt that her wish to be a new mother might be realized soon.

Zhou Qiufeng’s face turned red unconsciously, and she immediately pushed her: “Mom, eat your food quickly, don’t say disrespectful words, let Lele laugh.”

Grandma Zhou looked at her girl, but did not expose her shy little thoughts and just laughed it off.

The aroma was alluring. Zhou Qiufeng also took a bite of the fungus. The taste was unforgettable. The more he ate, the more he wanted to eat it. He was also extremely surprised. What kind of fungus was this?

"Lele, what kind of fungus did you pick up? It doesn't look like the fungus." The fungus is definitely not so delicious, crispy and sweet.

“I cooked turkey tail mushrooms with dendrobium soup, so the taste is probably different.” Xiao Le’s classmate smiled so much that his teeth were whiter than white jade.

"Ouch, why did you cook it and eat it? Two streets ago, a man in Wuli Village picked up a ball of turkey tail, which cost twenty yuan a pound, and he was chased Ask if there is any more, you have cooked dozens of pieces like this, what you are eating is fungi, what you are eating is money.”

Grandma Zhou cried out in pain, Lejia The family has lived frugally for many years and finally paid off the debt. Lele cleared his daughter and was willing to buy some meat when she came back from the holidays. She still spends every penny as two cents on weekdays to save money for her children to study. Xiao Lele has also been thrifty since she was a child. She is not greedy for food and clothing. She even cooked such expensive things for them to eat today. The old man's eyes are filled with warmth. Xiao Lele wants to have a new mother. She must fulfill the child's wish, even if her girl is really not happy. , she will also look around to help her child find a suitable new mother.

Zhou Qiufeng’s heart also ached. There are many wild mushrooms in the mountains, such as pumpkin mushrooms, pine nut mushrooms, chicken foot bones, green head mushrooms, etc. These are the favorite game foods of tourist guests. All the surrounding counties are in hot demand, and the cheapest ones can be sold for seven or eight yuan per catty. Whenever the season comes, villagers go to the mountains to look for them when they have time, pick them up and sell them for pocket money.

Lele was about to go to the capital to study and was short of money. She finally picked up some turkey tail mushrooms, but instead of selling them, she cooked them as a dish for them to eat. She couldn't help it. Heartwarming.

"You have to eat some of what you need to eat. Only when you eat well can you have strength. There are still some mushrooms that have just popped up where I picked them up. I will pick them up again in a few days and bring them back to Sell ​​it on the street. Grandma Zhou, this is my little secret. Don’t tell others. It would be bad if others get jealous and want to follow me to pick up fungi."

To conquer A man must first conquer his stomach. For the sake of the new mother, Le Yun decisively adopted a roundabout tactic and decided to conquer the stomachs of Grandma Zhou and Aunt Feng first. At first sight, the results were remarkable.

"I understand, I understand, I will not betray little Lele..."

When they heard that there was a little one, the mother and son were very happy. Lele was born with this child. She is close to the mountains and has the edge of the mountains. When she was a child, she went to the mountains to pick up mushrooms with her adults. Others were exhausted and couldn't pick up many. She dug randomly into the bushes and grass and always came back with a full load.

The mushrooms are all so delicious, not to mention the chicken stewed with dendrobium juice and Codonopsis pilosula. After one bite, the fragrance fills the mouth, making people unable to put it down. They want to swallow all the chopsticks, so that the three of them All the dishes were swept away, not even a drop of soup was left.

After eating well and having good strength, Grandma Zhou suddenly felt several years younger and relaxed all over. Zhou Qiufeng didn’t feel any fatigue at all. She just waited for noon to pass, loading dung and hay on the Zhou family’s cart, feeling energetic. A hundred times more, I went to work in the fields of Lejia next to the village.

Walking on the village road, the villagers saw that Grandma Zhou was also helping the Le family with farm work. They felt weird and didn’t say anything. They were very enthusiastic about doing things with Le Yun. Even the three or two families who usually looked down on her before The Le family father and daughter also changed from their normal state. When they heard Le Yun's greeting, their smiles in response became much more sincere.

It has always been common for people to be poor and have short ambitions. It is common for people to be poor and have few relatives and friends. It is human nature to flatter others and underestimate others. Leyun has long known the warmth and warmth of people, and still has the same attitude as before, and takes it calmly. .
