Chapter 29 Twisted Fish

On this day, Xu Jiaoxing assigned Aman the task of practicing calligraphy, while he carried a basket to the mountain to find mountain goods.

Before leaving, she specifically reminded Aman that no one could open the door no matter who came.

Aman was obedient and obediently moved a bench to the low window to practice calligraphy. Even so, Xu Jiaoxing was still worried and even went to ask Sang Sanniang to help take care of Aman.

When she went up the mountain, she went directly to the bamboo forest where the gentle young master had met before. She said that she was really sad when she took such a precious jade bi last time. Thinking of his eyes that could not be seen clearly, Xu Jiaoxing wanted to see if she could help.

Walking along the bamboo forest, but no one saw a figure. Xu Jiaoxing was a little disappointed and walked deep into the forest.

The mountains and forests are very lively in this season. Groups of sparrows circling past her head, landing on the branches, and then yelling again, with lingering sounds.

Because it hasn't rained heavily in the past few days, I haven't seen any mushrooms in the mountains and forests, but I have seen a lot of wild cotton.

Wild cotton was surrounded by piles, large scattered areas, swaying in the wind, pink and tender, like little lotus flowers. Soon, a butterfly in the shape of a leaf was attracted by wild cotton, and a butterfly scene was staged.

This is the first time Xu Jiaoxing has seen this butterfly like a yellow leaves. If she hadn't seen it flap its wings, she would have really thought it was a leaf.

Xu Jiaoxing wanted to catch it back and let Aman take a look, but never thought that another colorful butterfly flew out and soon became entangled with the leaf-like butterfly. Seeing that they were paired, Xu Jiaoxing naturally gave up the idea of ​​catching butterflies.

After passing through the bamboo forest, Xu Jiaoxing entered a red nanmu forest. The red nanmu trees either emerged on the spot or squeezed out from the cracks of the rocks. The trunks were scattered and twisted. Looking around, they were contrasted with the few wild chestnut trees beside them, and they suddenly looked short and frustrated.

But because of the growth posture of the red nanmu tree, the light in the forest is excellent and a lot of bracken grows.

Most bracken grow next to the roots of red nanmu trees. The leaves of bracken are extremely large. You must dig open the leaves of the big bracken next to each other to find curly young leaf buds that can be used below.

Bracken is considered a relatively delicious wild vegetable, and the price is not low. Xu Jiaoxing has opened a pile of bracken bushes and quickly picked a handful of bracken. He was naturally happy and hurriedly put the bracken in the backpack and then went to pick another bracken bushes.

No one seemed to have noticed these fern bushes, and the buds were numerous and tender. When she slowly found most of the mountain to sit on the mountain, her back basket had already been filled with the fern buds.

Xu Jiaoxing looked at the sun rising and it was time to go back and make noon for Aman, so she went down the mountain with her back basket on her back.

When he returned to the house, Aman was still practicing calligraphy. Now he can write from 1 to 50. Xu Jiaoxing decided to teach him how to write when he could write until 100.

There were some dumplings in the stove yesterday. Xu Jiaoxing fryed Aman and then baked several pancakes. They didn't make soup dishes. My mother swallowed the pancakes with boiled water.

In the afternoon, Xu Jiaoxing put all the bracken in batches in a pot and then took it out and tore it apart. She planned to soak it in water for a night and take it to the county for sale tomorrow.

Before the bracken was torn, Sang Sanniang came. She was delivering clothes to Aman.

Xu Jiaoxing didn't expect that in just a few days, Sang Sanniang made the clothes. She was grateful and called Aman to try on the clothes again. As a result, the clothes were not only fit, but also looked very good!

In Baimiao Village, not many families like them can wear new clothes. Most of them pick up the clothes of brothers and sisters on it, and sew the sews when they break, and then continue wearing them.

Aman is already big and smart, innocent and cute, and now wearing this new outfit, he looks so beautiful.

"Sanniang, your embroidery worker is really good." Xu Jiaoxing was very satisfied, and then heard Sang Sanniang laugh, "I have a uniform and tight sewing of this cotton, and Xiao Aman is wearing a little warm."

"Thank you, Grandma Sang, it's very warm." Aman said thanking with a smile.

Seeing that her craftsmanship was frequently praised, Sang Sanniang smiled and said, "It's good to like it, it's good to like it!"

Afterwards, Sang Sanniang sat down and chatted with Xu Jiaoxing for a few more words before going back. When Xu Jiaoxing sent her out, she gave her some bracken. Sang Sanniang couldn't help but said helplessly: "Ah Xing girl, do you have to be so clear with Sanniang?"

Xu Jiaoxing smiled and said, "It's just a little bracken, give it to Sanniang to try it."

After Sang Sanniang left, Xu Jiaoxing saw Aman taking off her clothes as soon as she returned to the house. She was a little suspicious and wanted to ask him if he was not easy to say something he didn't like in front of Grandma Sang. Who would have thought that the little guy pouted and said, "My mother, you made clothes for me, you haven't had new clothes yet. Aman is wearing them and I can't live a good life."

Xu Jiaoxing was funny and rubbed his head, feeling that her family was really sensible.

"Make one for you first, and wear it in some time after studying. At that time, my mother will make one for herself." After all, she has to send her son to school and can't wear these shabby clothes that are all patched!

After hearing Xu Jiaoxing's words, Aman's expression became more beautiful.

The next day, Xu Jiaoxing put a wooden barrel in a water-soaked bracken to the market to sell. Unexpectedly, it was particularly easy to sell. Before the market was finished, the bracken was sold out.

In the following days, Xu Jiaoxing often went to the Red Nan forest to pick bracken. After picking a basket, he took it to the county to sell it. He went back and forth, and sold it for a total of two or three hundred cents.

Just when the bracken in the red nan woods was picked by her, Xu Jiaoxing and Aman finally waited for the people upstream of the small ditch to get water.

My mother carried a wooden barrel, then took another basket and walked towards the small ditch. There were many willow trees on the small ditch, so Xu Jiaoxing gave Aman tight clothes and asked him to stand on the shore with the wooden barrel, and he was not allowed to go into the water.

Although Aman was very disappointed, he did not dare to disobey Xu Jiaoxing's intentions. He had to squat on the shore and stare at his mother into the water.

The people in the upper reaches broke the water and irrigated the fields, and the water in the small ditch suddenly became shallow to Xu Jiaoxing's calves.

Xu Jiaoxing put the basket at the root of the hemp willow tree, raised her legs and stepped on it on the root. When the basket started again, there were about a dozen squid fish in the basket immediately.

Seeing the squirrels jumping around the basket with great enthusiasm, Xu Jiaoxing hurriedly asked Aman to hand over the wooden barrel. She fed water in the wooden barrel and poured all the squirrels in.

She moved very quickly. As soon as she returned the wooden barrel to Aman, she immediately placed the basket under the roots of the willow tree and made a second sweep.

In the basket together, there were indeed several thorn fish. It was indeed the previous fish that had escaped the net. Xu Jiaoxing quickly poured the fish into the bucket and continued to catch the fish.

In his previous life, Xu Jiaoxing lived in the countryside in her childhood. At that time, the children in the village had nothing to do. On weekdays, they either went into the water or went up the mountain. Catching piles of fish naturally became an extremely interesting thing.

But there were far less fish than they are now. Xu Jiaoxing was surprised while fishing! My mother and two walked downstream, and in a short while, most of the fish were filled in the wooden barrel.

At this time, they had already walked down the river and walked under the big wooden bridge at the entrance of the village. Xu Jiaoxing felt that Aman was young and it was really hard to carry the wooden barrel. This made Aman put the wooden barrel aside, took off his shoes and went into the water into the bridge hole. She planned to go ashore and connect the basket downstream, let Aman drive fish upstream, and then make up the last basket.

Who would have thought that she had just arrived ashore and ran into Gu Chunlai.
