September is both the harvest season and the sowing season. In this busy farming season, everyone is still busy harvesting and sowing in the fields.

The rumors that had been circulating in the village gradually subsided under the suppression of several village cadres, and they began to get busy.

At this time, most people have no other sense of autonomy. The sky is huge and the earth is big, and food is the biggest thing. Raising the land can support themselves, so busy farming has become their top priority.

A good harvest means filling your stomach, and nothing else.

…

Su Wangyun, who had moved out of Su's old house, was also busy.

The thatched house has been tidied up, making it more popular despite being desolate.

In the muddy pond, Su Wangyun rolled up his trousers, stood in the middle of the green lotus leaves, bent down and folded a few long lotus roots.

Su Niancheng, who was on the edge of the pond, stared at it eagerly. When he saw a long lotus root, his eyes lit up, a cheerful smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "There really is a lotus root!"

Su Wangyun broke off seven or eight pieces, but didn't break any more. He couldn't finish any more.

Fresh lotus roots will lose moisture in at most two days, and they will go bad easily after being stored for a short period of time.

Anyway, there is a lotus root in the pond behind the house. If you want to eat it, you can pick it. There is no need to pick so many at once.

What I had for lunch was Su Wangyun's simple stir-fried lotus root slices. The lotus root slices were mixed with the fungus and wild vegetables picked in the mountain wetlands, and stir-fried for a big bowl.

There is a lack of seasoning, there is no oil when frying, and only a little salt is added, so the taste can only be considered average.

Paired with a bowl of thick flour pancakes, the two children had bulging bellies and satisfied faces.

There was not much food at home, so they separated it from Su's old house. In addition to the things in his own house, when the truck was about to be pushed away, Su Wangyun secretly went to the kitchen and transported some rice, noodles, pots and pans.

Worried about being discovered by his second aunt and Mrs. Su, Su Wangyun did not dare to open the locked cabinet where the food was stored, and only took what was on the surface.

I guess the second aunt who woke up the next morning to make breakfast and found that there were missing pots and pans was still cursing her.

Su Wangyun didn't care, but she still had to raise a child, and feeding her belly was what she should be thinking about now.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Su Nianqing still held a piece of dough in her hand, squatting on the ground, looking at the hoe Su Wangyun borrowed from the shop next door, and asked curiously.

I don't know if it was because of the sudden separation from Su's old house that the little girl who was still dissatisfied with Su Wangyun became willing to call her sister Su Wangyun.

Su Wangyun came in with a hoe and said, "Open two pieces of land, plant some vegetables, and harvest some vegetables to eat before winter comes."

This was a decision she made after thinking about it from a long-term perspective.

She opened several vegetable plots in her empty yard. She happened to have pea seeds from the old house on hand, which were suitable for planting in this season and would mature in November and February.

Although farming now is only a drop in the bucket, it is still better than eating nothing at all.

Su Niancheng followed Su Wangyun with his little hands behind his back. He followed Su Nianqing's example, squatting on the ground and looking up at Su Wangyun who was walking around so busy.

My family was really poor and they didn’t even have a stool to sit on.

Su Wangyun supported his tired waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the vegetable patch that had just been planted after a busy afternoon, turned to look at the two carrot heads who were helping to pick up stones next to him, and suddenly asked

,

"Where is your second brother?"

Su Wangyun, who had been busy all day, suddenly remembered Su Wangjing, who had disappeared early in the morning.

Su Niancheng carefully held the gravel and was about to throw it out. When he heard his sister's question, he said without thinking, "Second brother went out to play."

Looking at the sun that was about to set, Su Wangyun gave up the idea of ​​continuing to cultivate the land and turned around to prepare dinner. Dinner was the same as lunch. Lotus root slices were mixed with fried fungus and wild vegetables, and a pot of white porridge was cooked.

Su Wangjing came back almost in time for dinner. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of lotus root slices. He walked in carelessly and asked at the top of his voice, "It smells good! Sister, what are you cooking?"

Su Wangyun and the twins stayed in the narrow kitchen. There was no table or chairs, so they had to sit on the stove and moved three relatively flat stones outside to use as stools.

Su Wangjing came in from the outside. Taking advantage of the young man's tall stature, he immediately saw the fried lotus root on the stove and the rice porridge in the two small bowls. His eyes suddenly lit up, "Ha, I just happened to be eating. I came back just in time."

"

With that said, Su Wangjing leaned towards the stove, but saw the empty bottom of the pot, "Sister, why is it gone? Didn't you cook my portion?"

Su Wangjing didn't give up and looked around. The kitchen was only so big and there was only one pot. He was sure that Su Wangyun really didn't leave a portion for him. Su Wangjing stared, as if he couldn't believe it.

"sister?"

Su Wangyun ignored him and he shouted again.

Su Wangyun slowly finished the last mouthful of porridge, put the remaining vegetables in the bowl into the bowls with two small carrot heads, whispered to the two of them to eat slowly, wiped his mouth again, then stood up and looked to the side to do it.

Su Wangjing stood.

He said, "If you don't support idle people at home, you have to work if you want to eat."

Running out all day long, the dragon never comes to an end. The family is still worried, and without help, they just want to eat. It's not that good.

Su Wangjing stared blankly, as if he didn't expect his sister to say this, and said dryly, "But... I am your biological brother!"

"It doesn't matter that you are my biological father. Have you seen that piece of land? If you want to eat, two similar pieces of land will be opened tomorrow." Su Wangyun pointed to the freshly grown vegetable patch in the yard and said.

Farming is really tiring.

While it was still dark, Su Wangyun boiled some hot water and called the two little ones over to wash up. Before it got completely dark, they finished washing and went back to the house to sleep.

After dark, there is no electricity and no entertainment activities. At this time in Ronggen Village, in order to save money on oil lamps and candles, most people will choose to go to bed.

In the morning, the sky is bright.

Su Wangjing didn't know if he had heard Su Wangyun's words, so he took the time to get up the next day.

As soon as Su Wangyun made breakfast, he shamelessly followed suit, slurping down a large bowl of porridge, nibbling on a piece of pancake with lotus root slices, and sighing with satisfaction on his face.

"Sister, why didn't I realize before... that the food you cook... isn't that delicious!"

Su Wangyun ignored him, wrapped the sickle in cloth, put the basket on his back, and said, "Remember to clear the ground and keep an eye on your brothers and sisters. Lunch is in the pot. Heat it up before eating at noon."

She had to go up the mountain, and the little food she had brought from Su's house was gone after making lunch today.

She wanted to go into the mountains to see if there were wild potatoes and sweet potatoes, and dig up some.

Eaters are soft-spoken, but handlers are short-handed. After Su Wangjing filled his stomach, he did not run out again, but stayed in the yard and worked with the twins.

Nian Cheng and Nian Qing are also obedient, and Su Wangyun doesn't need to worry too much.

Ronggen Village is backed by mountains, and in front of the mountains is a large forest. The villagers of Ronggen Village have relied on this mountain for their survival for generations.

In the mountain forest, most of the hunters who are good at hunting will come in and out frequently. A little outside, women and children will also come in and out to pick wild vegetables, wild fruits or hunt birds.

So along the way, Su Wangyun met many villagers who had entered the mountain. There were traces of digging in the outer areas, and most of the wild vegetables had been dug up.

The probability that Su Wangyun could dig potatoes and sweet potatoes was almost zero. After thinking about it, he continued walking deeper without stopping.

As we go further inside, there are gradually no traces of other people's visits. The roadside is overgrown with weeds and thorns block the road.

It was quiet in my ears, with the chirping of birds and the sound of tree shades swaying in the wind. It was extremely quiet.

Su Wangyun looked back and didn't go inside again.

She was afraid that there were no traces of human activity here and wild animals would be infested.

Under the cover of the dense forest, except for a few scattered sun rays, the ground was wet, as if it had just rained.

Among the overgrown weeds, there are many wild mushrooms clinging to rotten wood and wetlands.

Su Wangyun didn't know these fungi and didn't dare to pick them randomly for fear of being poisonous.

She only cut some chicken mushrooms, fungus, and some familiar wild vegetables. She dug several areas with a sickle, but she couldn't dig out the potatoes and sweet potatoes she wanted.

Seeing the sun setting in the middle, Su Wangyun was a little discouraged.

Sure enough, everything written in the book is a lie. There is a chance that the heroine will dig up potatoes and sweet potatoes as soon as she goes into the mountains, and there is even a chance of picking up a century-old Ganoderma lucidum.

She originally thought of trying her luck, but she spent the whole morning searching and found nothing except common wild vegetables and mushrooms.

The wild rabbit that popped out from time to time made her jealous, but she could only watch it disappear quickly from in front of her, unable to get angry.

I don't know how to hunt, I have no luck, I don't even dare to pick the wild grape tree I just encountered, the green grape bunches hanging on the tree.

Just because the vine was too tall, and there were several green snakes wrapped around the branches, and they were spitting out snakes and wrapped around them.

Su Wangyun was originally afraid of snakes, but when she saw at least four snakes wrapped around the vines, spitting snake bites at her, her scalp went numb and she ran away.

Carrying baskets of wild vegetables, fungus and fungus, Su Wangyun was ready to return home.

During this trip, she finally figured out that relying on a mountain requires skill, and it cannot be done casually. If it were that easy, wouldn't everyone in Ronggen Village be able to make a fortune relying on this mountain?

Su Wangyun, who was walking down the mountain, was thinking about what was going to happen next, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the front and looked up.

Between the thin and shallow shadows of the trees, he seemed to see something. The light-colored pupils dilated for an instant, and he took two steps back, turning pale with shock.
