Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Xu Dahai pedaled the [-] big bar very fast, dust flew up, and the farmland, pine trees, and weeds on both sides retreated quickly.

Finally at around 8 a.m., he arrived at Huangjiaying in Huaying Township.

"Phew~ It's finally here, okay, my butt is almost split into eight pieces." Xu Dahai got out of the car, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and pushed the [-]-inch bar slowly in. village.

The fields are connected with each other, and chickens and dogs hear each other.

From time to time, you can still hear the donkey's "Er, Er, Er, Er," and the sheep's "Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah," braying.

After hearing this, Xu Dahai wanted to eat mutton skewers.

Huangjiaying is a village built at the foot of the mountain. It is not large in scale. A few days ago, Xu Dahai and other militiamen went up the mountain 10 miles west of this village.

After finding an honest villager to store his bicycle, Xu Dahai started walking westward with a shotgun and a basket on his back.

Wildflowers bloom, birds chirp, and the morning wind blows gently through your hair.

Thinking that he would soon be able to collect a large amount of wild ginseng in his pocket, Xu Dahai's steps couldn't help but become more brisk.

the other side.

Xujiatun'er.

After tidying up the house, I went to the back yard to grass for a while, looked at the roe deer, and picked up eggs.

When the work was almost done, Wang Xiuxiu wiped the sweat from her forehead and returned to the front yard.

"Xiao Tingzi, stop teasing the cat, come on, let's go to the mountains to pick mushrooms?" Wang Xiuxiu brushed her hair around her ears and shouted with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Tingzi's eyes lit up and she ran over quickly: "Mom, are there any soft dates in the mountains? I want to eat soft dates!!"

Soft jujube - a kind of wild fruit that grows in Changbai Mountain. It is green in color and is also called soft jujube kiwi. It tastes particularly sweet after it becomes soft.

"Pfft~ What a little glutton."

"The soft dates are not ripe yet, they will have to wait for a few months..."

Wang Xiuxiu planned to carry a basket and take Xiao Tingzi to Aunt Xu Dahai's house.

He asked his second aunt to go with him to pick mushrooms in the mountains. It would be a good idea to have more than one person to take care of him. It would be best if he could pick up another flat-covered Ganoderma lucidum.

Just when the two of them were about to go out.

A brand new Phoenix bicycle came from the dirt road to the southeast.

"Comrade, is this Xu Dahai's family? I'm looking for Xu Dahai!"

"Ah, he's not at home. Do you... have anything to do with him?"

The visitor was wearing gray short-sleeves and black trousers, and his face was covered in sweat as if he had ridden a short distance. It was Huang Lei, the deputy minister of the Township Armed Forces Department.

"Ah, it's nothing serious. Well... I'm Huang Lei from the countryside. When he comes back, just mention it to him. I'll come back another day."

Since Xu Dahai was not at home, Huang Lei felt that it was hard to stay any longer. Talking too much to his wife would easily lead to gossip, so he left directly on the [-]th pole.

"Mom, this person is gone!"

"Well, maybe I have something to do with your dad. Let's go. Let's go to your second grandma's house first and ask your second grandma to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together."

……

By the time Xu Dahai found the patch of wild ginseng, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

He sat down on the stone, took out a kettle and sticky bean buns from the basket, ate and drank, and looked around cautiously.

“There are six grades of ginseng, one leaf is the worst and six leaves are the best.

Unlike artificially grown ginseng, wild ginseng grows very slowly.

Generally, wild ginseng with four leaves takes 40 to 60 years to grow, and wild ginseng with five leaves takes 60 to 100 years!

As for the legendary six-leaf wild ginseng, almost all of it has been growing for more than a hundred years. "

Thoughts flashed through Xu Dahai's mind.

After devouring his meal, he was not in a hurry to pick up the ginseng.

In his two lifetimes, he has long lost the impatience, recklessness and impetuousness of a young man.

On the contrary, he is much more calm and mature, and he is as considerate as possible in doing things.

"It's actually quite dangerous for a person to stay in a place deep in the mountains and forests for a long time.

Many large cats like to attack by surprise, so it’s better to take some insurance. "

Xu Dahai took out some red ropes from the basket. There were many small bells tied to the red ropes.

Starting 20 meters away from the ginseng, a red rope is stretched between the pine trees - as long as a wild animal touches the red rope, the small bell on it will ring.

This method cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. It can only be said that "having" is better than "having nothing". At least it can add a little psychological comfort.

"Carry the ginseng, lift the ginseng!! Carry them all out early so they can go home early!"

Xu Dahai took out the deer bone skewer, went down into the shallow ditch, and tied red strings to several big stick trees.

He also tied a small wooden stick horizontally to each ginseng tree to prevent the ginseng from falling over when he was halfway lifting it.

In fact, there are many things to pay attention to when lifting ginseng, and many of them are passed down from the older generation.

For example, when many experts find wild ginseng in the mountains, they will shout "Bang Chui"!It is said that Bangchui is the real name of wild ginseng, and ginseng will be stunned when its real name is called!

Take advantage of him being stunned.

The boss would tie a red rope to the ginseng pole or cover him with a straw hat so that he couldn't run away.

Yes, according to legend, wild ginseng is a treasure that has become a spirit. It can escape from the ground and pass through mountains. If you are not careful, it will disappear without a trace.

In addition, before lifting the ginseng, dry grass is dyed at the upwind outlet to let the smoke drift downward to drive away wild animals and mosquitoes.

You even have to kneel down to worship the mountain god and thank the mountain ginseng for the gift. After you finish carrying the stick, you continue to kneel down and worship the mountain god, and you also carve symbols on the surrounding trees to show how many people found what big stick here.

now...

Xu Dahai keeps everything simple!

He carefully used a deer bone skewer to pull out the dirt and said:

"It's too watery for grinding. Hurry up and do it. Lifting ginseng is very time-consuming. It would be bad if Cheng Yaojin shows up halfway."

time flies.

More than two days passed in the blink of an eye.

It takes 3 to 6 hours to lift a ginseng tree. The main thing is to be very careful and try not to hurt any of the ginseng roots.

Over the past two days, Xu Dahai carried out a total of 8 ginseng plants - 3 ginseng plants with five leaves, 2 ginseng plants with four leaves, and 3 ginseng plants with three leaves.

"Hiss~ Look at the scars on the reed head of this wild ginseng tree. It seems that it has been eaten by some herbivore. But this is normal. The living environment of wild ginseng is indeed quite harsh."

The two-leaf wild mountain gods are not valuable, and Xu Dahai originally wanted the remaining two-leaf ones to stay here and continue to grow.

However, as soon as he had an idea in his mind, he dug out a two-leaf ginseng tree rather roughly.

"I suddenly had an idea. What would happen if I planted this two-leaf ginseng tree in the back garden of my home? It doesn't matter if it dies. If it lives, it will be a sight to behold."

I peeled off some pieces of birch bark, spread them with moss, sprinkled them with ginseng soil, put the ginseng on them and tied them all up.

"Work done! It's time to go home!"

Xu Dahai put a few ginseng buns in the basket, covered the top with some wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc. as a disguise, and walked briskly down the mountain with the basket on his back.

I have gained a lot, I am in a good mood, and I even sang a little tune.
