    ?

    The woman's hands were so fast, Hongxia's sister-in-law didn't expect that she would turn over the basket, her face turned pale immediately, and Lin Ranran was also taken aback.

    The woman looked into the basket and dialed the dial, and the others said, "Why, did you see anything?"

    "Hey, Hongxia, you are too calculating, you pick so many wild vegetables before the first month is over." The woman said cheekily, "Also, you haven't finished eating your meatballs yet, why don't you pick them up?"  Are the wild vegetables here?"

    "Why, I still have to report to you for picking wild vegetables? Have you finished the inspection? If you find anything, report it to the inspection team!" Sister-in-law Hongxia's voice became louder and louder, scaring the woman back.

    The woman sneered and said: "Well, I was just playing with you!" She said and covered the leaf back.

    Others were also embarrassed, only Lin Ranran, who had a good relationship with Mrs. Hongxia, laughed and said, "Come back from the field tomorrow, and let us check it too!"

    "Of course, you too, the white noodles at home are not enough to eat, so waste all your energy picking wild vegetables!" Someone said to Lin Ranran.

    Lin Ranran smiled politely and said, "I don't know how to earn work points, so it's better to save some money."

    Having said that, Lin Ranran left with Mrs. Hongxia.  The others looked at their backs, and immediately gathered together to discuss: "Really, or not, so I got so much food from Lao Lin's house, is there still enough food?"

    "There are two hundred yuan left! The three children in their family will have enough to eat until next year!"

    A woman said: "That's not what you said. Don't you know that Xiaoqiu is a medicine jar and has to eat ginseng every day. How expensive is that ginseng."

    "It must be that the money is spent on medicine, otherwise how can I dig wild vegetables?"

    "I think so too. How can you be in charge at such a young age? If you are so extravagant, you must have run out of food."

    Women in rural areas have little knowledge and always hope that others will have a bad life.  Lin Ranran made such a big battle during the Chinese New Year, and invited the women he was close to to make dumplings and croquettes at home. They were so jealous that their eyes were bleeding.  Now seeing Lin Ranran going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, of course I tend to believe that she is not in charge of the family, and has tossed away all the food.

    Rumors spread that Lin Ranran had to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables every day after eating up all the food.  When Lin Wang's family heard this, they almost turned their mouths off, and immediately became energetic. Every day they sewed and chattered, saying that they knew that Lin Ranran, a prodigal girl, would have a good life soon, and that the cheap bones would not be able to enjoy the blessings.

    She is now sweeping the street with dung on her back in the village every day, and the smell on her body can be suffocated for ten miles. Others would run away holding their noses before she finished speaking. Mrs. Lin Wang was still talking to herself there with a dung fork  , Quack laughed, scared the passing children to tears.  When the older people saw Lin Wang's behavior, they secretly said that she might be confused.

    Lin Ranran didn't care about the gossip of the villagers behind her back, she went back to her yard with Mrs. Hongxia and closed the door.  Hongxia's sister-in-law's vigor just now dissipated immediately, and she patted her chest in fear: "I'm scared to death, my god But how did you figure it out? Fortunately, the bamboo shoots  Put it in your basket."

    Sister-in-law Hongxia was so frightened that her expression changed.  Lin Ranran smiled and said, "I was too careful, luckily I didn't let them find it."

    As he said, he poured out the wild vegetables in his basket, and there were three big brown-skinned bamboo shoots underneath, the roots of which were still stained with wet mud.  The first batch of bamboo shoots this spring tastes so fresh.

    "Sister-in-law, can you sell these bamboo shoots to me?" Lin Ranran said.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia wiped her sweat: "I don't care if it's for sale or not, I'll give it to you if you want it. I don't dare to ask for it anymore, it scared me to death!"

    Lin Ranran didn't say a word, she just collected the bamboo shoots with a smile, and Hongxia's sister-in-law rushed home to cook.

    The sunset glowed from the sky, covering the yard in a fiery red halo, and the spring breeze was so gentle on the face that it made people's hearts soften unconsciously.  Lin Ranran turned her head, but saw a bamboo basket beside the well platform.

    In the basket was a bundle of neatly bundled brown wild vegetables with slender stems, which was exactly the bracken that Lin Ranran had been thinking about for a day.  There is also a small handful of sweet coriander and coriander needles on top.  There was also a lot of neatly chopped firewood piled up in a corner of the yard.

    In this gentle spring breeze, Lin Ranran's dull heart skipped a beat, and a strange thought came to her: Did Xie San treat her too well?

    Before Lin Ranran could catch that strange thought, Xiaoqiu Xiaojing rushed into the yard yelling, hugged her waist and shouted: "Sister, sister! Why did you come back now, I'm hungry!"

    That hazy feeling just slipped away.  Lin Ranran smiled and said, "How about eating shepherd's purse wonton and fried bracken tonight?"

    Lin Ranran's activity of picking wild vegetables also drove the enthusiasm of the villagers in the village.That's it - the vigorous spring plowing has begun.  The radio under the big locust tree at the head of the village is shouting slogans every day: "The potential of the land is endless, and the yield per mu is artificial!"

    The land that has been raised for a winter needs to be plowed, and the men carry hoes to and from work every day, and their appetite increases immediately.  Women feel sorry for their men, and they cook in different ways every day to replenish the lost strength of men.  But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The rice vat at home is gradually bottoming out, but the brigade has been slow to distribute food.

    Only now did the people in the village come to their senses and began to realize that wild vegetables are good.  Women and children carry baskets together and look for wild vegetables in the fields and hillsides.  Some people also complained that Lin Ranran and Mrs. Hongxia had been picking wild vegetables for a month, and they had picked all the wild vegetables of the big guys.

    Aunt Hongxia heard this and asked her face: "This wild vegetable is not grown by your family. It is born with nature. Why do I pick wild vegetables from big guys? Ranran and I go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables every day."  , you are picking at the edge of our village¡¯s responsibility field, you are the wild vegetables of socialism!¡±

    Where is that woman Hongxia's sister-in-law's opponent, and was asked to run away.  Everyone laughed and bent over.

    However, everyone secretly thought about it. Lin Ranran started picking wild vegetables a month earlier, did he expect that the brigade would not be able to distribute food?  Is there going to be another famine this year?  This panic became more and more widespread as the grain reserves bottomed out, and people gradually became passive and slowed down their work.

    Although some people secretly blamed Lin Ranran for knowing the news but not telling everyone, they couldn't say anything.  One is that there is no evidence to prove that Lin Ranran knew about it and did not report it, and the other is that Lin Ranran went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables every day, and they didn't pick wild vegetables in the village, so they didn't care.

    The wild vegetables on the side of the field ridge and on the hillside in the village are almost being dug bare.  The willow buds by the river bank were also smashed, and the elm money was a delicacy that the children scrambled for.

    The elm tree grows so tall that only the best climbers can get it.  The dirty monkey-like child took off his shoes, hugged the tree trunk with both hands and legs, and climbed to the top of the tree in the blink of an eye.  Gotta drool.

    The other children yelled: "Tie Dan, throw it down!"

    "Brother, I want to eat too!"

    "Brother Tie Dan, throw it down!"

    Seeing his younger brother and Xiaoqiu Xiaojing looking up at him, Tie Dan'er grinningly broke off a few elm coins that grew the densest and tenderest and threw them down.  The children rushed forward to pick it up and stuffed it into their mouths.

    Xiaoqiu stood on the side and looked at it with a smile. Xiaojing was quite arrogant, so he rushed into the pile of children and grabbed two. First, he gave it to Xiaoqiu: "Sister, here it is."

    "You eat too." Xiaoqiu picked one and gave it to his younger brother, and then ate one himself.

    The elm money looks like a pair of green copper coins, and it tastes crisp and sweet, but it can't compare with the delicious ones made by their sister.  Xiaojing was very disappointed, and carried the elm money and went home hand in hand with Xiaoqiu, regardless of the yelling behind his back.

    They are children who have no shortage of food and drink, unlike other children in the village.  They huddled under the tree and waited eagerly for Tie Dan to continue throwing money.  Only at this time, the children in the village will not be scolded for climbing trees and climbing mountains.

    Nature understands their distress and gives generous gifts.  Elm money, Sophora japonica, Soap thorns, wild sweet potatoes, goat's milk Children use these wild fruits to stuff themselves half full, which can save a lot of food for the family.  Take elm money, Sophora japonica, willow leaves, and wild vegetables home, mix with a little flour, and have another meal.

    Xiaojing ran home and complained angrily to Lin Ranran who was sitting in the yard picking wild vegetables: "Brother Tiedan is lying, Yuqian is not delicious at all!"

    Lin Ranran smiled and stroked a handful of fresh and tender elm coins, stuffed them into her mouth and chewed them vigorously.  Well, a mouthful of grass flavor, more chewing will bring back the sweetness.

    She swallowed the elm money, and said with a smile: "You don't think the elm money is tasty, so my sister will make it delicious, okay?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
