355. Chapter 355 Chicken Cong


Around the Qingming Festival in April, Lu Miao harvested the first batch of silkworm cocoons this year.

She took a small basket and gave it to Chen Guifen, asking Chen Guifen to help save silkworm seeds.

The rest of the time I slowly fiddled with water, opened cotton and saved it.

Until late autumn, the mulberry leaves are completely aged, as long as there are silkworm seeds, they can be raised.

She wanted to save some money to make a quilt or something else at the end of the year.

During Grain Rain at the end of the month, the educated youth spot has a holiday.

The aunt in the team made an appointment to go to the Hongqi Commune on the top of the mountain to pick tea.

The tea mountain is a collective property and individuals are not allowed to pick it.

Grain Rain is an exception. Anyone who has free time in the nearby villages can go.

It is said that the tea on this day can cure diseases. The female educated youths were eager to try it. Ren Bingxin even came over to invite Lu Miao.

Lu Miao has to take care of her child, and she won't be able to pick another tea leaf.

Originally, he didn’t plan to go, but then he thought about the college entrance examination, and Lu Miao nodded again.

Asking Ren Bingxin to wait, she packed up the things of Dabao and Erbao, packed some food rations and sent them to the He family.

Chen Guifen happens to be at home.

She originally planned to visit the private plot. After listening to Lu Miao's words, she thought that Lu Miao had not gone out for a walk for a long time while taking care of her children.

Chen Guifen picked up the child and told her to have fun and not worry about the family.

Lu Miao nodded, carried the small basket, and set off with Ren Bingxin and his group.

The aunt in the team left early, and the rest of them followed behind at a distance, so as not to fall behind and make it easier to talk.

Lu Miao chatted about review.

Geng Xiaoyun always runs to Fu's house these days. Although he has gone before, he has never run as frequently as he does now.

Lu Miao said it tactfully, but as soon as she spoke, Gu Ying, a few thoughtful people, understood instantly.

This matter belongs to the gossip. A few people nodded in agreement and did not dare to speak out loudly.

But privately, personal emotions are different.

Gu Ying was excited and gearing up to go all out.

Yang Xiaojing was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, the college entrance examination is finally here, and they have hope of returning to the city.

What I worry about is whether I can pass the exam. What should I do if I fail?

As for Ren Bingxin.

Ren Bingxin felt a little unhappy.

Geng Junhao was admitted to the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University without any warning, and then Geng Xiaoyun kept running towards the Fu family, obviously knowing something.

When Lu Miao fell ill, Geng Xiaoyun brought out a wild ginseng.

That ginseng saved Lu Miao's life. It is understandable that Lu Miao would choose to tell Geng Xiaoyun first when he had news.

Ren Bingxin knows these things, and she understands the truth, but she is still unhappy.

Ren Bing couldn't help but care about her, obviously she had a better relationship with Lu Miao...

Ren Bing was angry at himself for being despicable.

It's not that Lu Miao didn't tell her, it was just a little late.

She shouldn't be able to think so much.

Ren Bingxin took a deep breath to keep up with the crowd and tried to adjust her mentality.

Lu Miao doesn’t know what Ren Bingxin is thinking, and even if he does, there is nothing he can do about it.

She has never had the temper to take the initiative to support others, and she prides herself on having a clear conscience in this matter.

How it develops in the future and what the outcome will be have little to do with her, because the leadership and choice are in Ren Bingxin's hands.

At first glance, tea picking seemed quite new, but after learning from a group of aunts, Lu Miao gave it a try herself.

The conclusion was reached in less than half an hour. This job is not suitable for her.

Things are trivial, ink stains have to be concentrated, and you have to stand.

She was so lazy that she just wanted to find a place to sit.

Geng Xiaoyun and the others chatted and laughed with the local aunt while picking tea.

Lu Miao greeted them and went to find a place to sit and rest.

When the sun first came out, she sat and basked in the sun for a while. Later, the sun became stronger and she felt hot, so she squatted down and got under the tea tree again.

After she ran forward, she didn't pick a few tea leaves. However, like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, she found two clusters of chicken fir trees that had just broken through the ground under the tea tree stump.

Fungi such as Phyllostachys japonicus tend to gather together and build nests. There was abundant rain in April and they appeared in these two places. There must be more nearby.

Lu Miao pulled out a small stick and slowly dug out two clusters of chicken firs.

After digging out the fungi, don’t forget to cover them with soil and step on them.

There is a termite nest underneath the fungus Ji Fong.

As long as the termite nest below is not damaged and the temperature and humidity are suitable for a while, new ones will emerge.

Then I continued to search, and sure enough I found another cluster nearby.

Lu Miao’s small basket was almost full, and she couldn’t put more in it no matter how much she dug, so she called Geng Xiaoyun and the others over, and everyone got some.

At noon, the aunt from Hongqi Commune went back to eat, and Lu Miao and the others also walked back with their baskets on their backs.

I walked for an hour and a half in the morning to get to this area, and walked back for more than an hour at noon.

Geng Xiaoyun and the others made an appointment to go there in the afternoon. Lu Miao waved her hand and dragged two cloth shoes that were turned into thick mud cakes into the He family's yard, saying she would not go there again.

Back and forth, just walking cost her half her life.

He Hongjin was sitting in the courtyard, repairing farm tools and replacing hoe handles.

Looking at her entering the hospital, with yellow mud marks on her hands, feet and trouser legs, He Hongjin pretended to sigh and said:

"I know that you went to pick tea. If you don’t know, I thought you were plowing someone’s old tea tree!”

Lu Miao was speechless.

Like a rebellious girl who couldn't understand the jokes of her old father who had a generation gap, she got into a temper and stomped into the main room.

He Hongjin sat in the courtyard and laughed.

Laughing at her girl movie, she is already the mother of two children, she is still like a little girl, she has not grown up at all.

Chen Guifen and her four children were in the main room. The children's voices were "babble" and "brother" and "sister" at other times. It was very lively.

“I was thinking that you brought rations and would be back in the afternoon.”

Lu Miao shook his head, sat on the pony and took off his heavy cloth shoes, "I really can't stay for a while. If I didn't know the way, I would have run back by myself."

She was white and greasy. As her feet hit the ground, Chen Guifen slapped her calf.

“You are young and ignorant, what season is this, and you are barefoot?”

Lu Miao chuckled, took the clean straw sandals handed by Chen Guifen and put them on.

Dabao Erbao saw his mother, twisted his body and reached out to hug her.

Lu Miao smiled and asked them to wait, and went to the backyard to wash her hands before coming.

With her taking care of the first and second babies, Chen Guifen spared her time and quickly gave her three eggs with sugar water.

The sweet soup and the sugar-filled egg yolk give it a unique taste.

Lu Miao rarely resisted and ate the egg yolk completely.

Chen Guifen asked her to rest here for a while and wait for Fu Jingyou to come back later before going back together.

Lu Miao refused, split the chicken conong in two, picked up Erbao and prepared to leave.

“The chickens at home are about to lay eggs, and I’m still waiting to pick them up!”

Chen Guifen glared at her angrily:

“How many days have you been raising chickens? Just lay an egg?”
