Chapter 246 Edible Wild Vegetables

People always say that the New Year is easy to pass, but life is hard to endure.

Jiandan was deeply touched. She didn't feel anything, and the New Year was over.

When she came to her senses, the spring breeze was everywhere.

The weather was warm, the ground was thawed, and in a few days, it was time to turn the soil.

Several people came to her to dig wild vegetables, and she was still a little reluctant,

"Why is it so fast? I feel like it's only been a few days since the New Year?"

Isn't it said that the winter here is long? It's over so quickly?

"Have you been lazy during the New Year?"

"No, I haven't, have I?"

I took the little girl to eat and sleep, but I didn't say that I was really out of touch with life. Some time ago, I followed the old lady of the Liu family to grow seedlings, but I didn't realize that time passed so quickly.

"Have the wild vegetables come out?"

"They have come out, they have just emerged and are still tender. The villagers dug them up yesterday. Let's go and have a look."

It should be said that eating wild vegetables is a novelty after this winter.

In addition, Jiandan and Mingzhu have only been to the Youth Farm a few times this winter. It was only in the past few days that Li Yan said that the group of educated youths had made several troubles and almost ran out of food again.

Wang Jiancheng shamelessly went to Liu Weimin to borrow money from the village. Liu Weimin didn't want to borrow it, but he couldn't watch people die in the village.

This time Wang Jiancheng was smart and said directly that this was for several people and he gave it to several people.

In other words, before they started working, they were already negative work points.

No one took advantage of anyone. The female educated youths were very angry, but they had no way to do anything.

The food they had eaten before had indeed gone into their own stomachs. Now they hated the village for being ruthless, hated Li Yan and the others for not helping them, and began to hate Jian Dan for having money to support other children and not supporting the educated youth with them.

Tang Cui was isolated by them and had been a lone ranger for the past few months. After this period of time, she actually recognized the reality and made plans for her own life.

But she didn't plan to help the group of educated youth. She still remembered the isolation and kicking them when they were down, and she was lucky not to retaliate.

So, she fought several more battles with Wang Hongmei, who was the most indebted to her, and Li Yan and the others watched several lively battles.

"However, Tang Cui seems to have changed her personality. She has been going out early and coming back late recently, carrying firewood back every day. She seems not as gloomy as before."

Everyone saw this.

"It seems that she went to the mountain to pick wild vegetables the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday."

Jian Jian was not interested. Anyway, she had already avenged the bullying of the child. Whether Tang Cui had changed her personality or was plotting something was none of her business. As long as she and the child were not provoked, she would do whatever she wanted.

Seeing Jian Jian's indifferent expression, Mingzhu changed the subject directly.

"Are you still going up the mountain? It will be noon if you dawdle for a while?"

Li Yan reacted the most and jumped up directly.

"Go, go, hurry up. It is said that there are not many wild vegetables this time. They are just beginning and are tender. If you go too late, you will definitely miss them."

Their food was barely enough for the whole winter, and they could not eat too much. After calculating, they realized that the food was almost gone.

After waiting for so long, they knew that wild vegetables were out, so they had been thinking about it for a long time.

No matter whether they taste good or not, they will be satisfied if they have some to fill the food gap.

Moreover, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and there are more and more food to eat in the mountains. Thinking of this, Li Yan and the others are in a good mood.

Seeing them so happy, Jian Dan was also a little moved. Seeing that little Jian Xin was also persuaded, he immediately stood up and said,

"Okay, let's go."

This was something they used to do last year, and they were familiar with the process. They brought a water bottle, a backpack for two people, and a small knife and shovel for digging vegetables, and the equipment was complete.

After putting on a coat, Jian Xin took the initiative to carry her small backpack.

It was spring, and people were out and about. Jian Dan brought two dogs with him and left two to watch the house.

Counting them, these dogs are almost one year old, and they can do the work of guarding the house.

We hadn't seen each other much in the winter, so the few of them gathered together and talked and laughed, and it was very lively. Little Jian Xin carried a small backpack and led Jixiang and Xile to run and jump in front, and they were also very happy.

The weather was warm, and there were many villagers going up the mountain. They met many aunts and aunties along the way, and almost all of them were going the same way. Jian Xin and his friends also greeted them.

When they arrived at the place where the villagers usually gathered on the mountain, there were already many people who had arrived earlier. Jian Xin and his friends took the initiative to separate and walked up a distance.

The hillside was already green, but not lush, but the weeds, wild vegetables, and wormwood had all grown out of the soil, and it was still full of vitality.

There were not many wild vegetables now, and Jian Xin and his friends didn't plan to compete with the villagers for this piece of land. They followed the dog up a distance and reached a gentle slope. The little girl's face was flushed and her breathing was a little rapid. Jixiang and Xile ran a circle on the mountain, and then came back to circle around the little girl.

After all, the child is only five years old, and he is not a child who grew up in the mountains. He is somewhat unable to do it. Jian Dan felt distressed and unknowingly slowed down.

"There are a lot of them on the left. You go first. We will rest here for a while and come to find you later."

Seeing that Jian Xin was tired, several people agreed to go to the other side. Jian Dan led the child to stretch his hands and feet.

"Let's rest for a while. Don't worry."

At this time in early spring, there are only wild vegetables to eat on this mountain. Jian Dan originally wanted to bring the child to relax, so he was not in a hurry.

The child is young and energetic. He followed too eagerly just now. After a short rest, he became a lively kid again.

After relieving himself, he pulled Jian Dan to chase them.

"Sister, hurry up, we are behind!"

Okay, since the child asked, Jian Dan will not force it.

Several educated youths were digging wild vegetables seriously. Little Jian Xin was also very serious about learning. She squatted down, staring at the green on the ground, repeating what she had just said,

"This is motherwort, it's edible."

"This is artemisia buds, it's edible."

"This, this is shepherd's purse, it can be used to make dumplings."

"This, sister, is this leek? It's also green on top?"

Tan Yajun next to her looked over,

"Xinxin, yours is a small garlic root, it's easy to break, use a small shovel to dig it."

What Jian Xin was most concerned about was,

"Is this edible?"

Tan Yajun also understood the child's foodie attributes,

"Yes, yes, it's edible, it can be dipped in sauce, and it can also be mixed into pickles, it's delicious."

Jian Xin was happy when she heard this, and immediately buried her head in hard work, digging a hole with a small shovel.

"Ouch!"
