After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Breakfast is relatively simple, at least in Yan Qingqing's opinion. Brown rice porridge and thick flour pancakes, but this is already a set meal in the Li family.

Yan Qingqing resignedly soaked the thick flour pancake into the rice, so that at least it wouldn't irritate her throat so much.

Yan Qingqing was eating while thinking that she must make money quickly. There were six or seven mouths in the family waiting for food, and there was no room for her to be pretentious.

Soon Yan Qingqing finished her meal. She originally planned to take Li Xinniang and Li Yueniang to the mountain, but Li Xiangkang insisted on following. He also said that he would help Yan Qingqing carry the basket because he was afraid that Yan Qingqing would be tired.

If we want to say who is closest to Yan Qingqing in this family, it is really Li Xiangkang. Firstly, he is young and is the age to cling to his mother. Secondly, Li Xiangkang is sweet-tongued and can coax people.

Yan Qingqing thought that there would be many people watching the fun, and it happened to be an opportunity to cultivate relationships with a few children, so she readily agreed.

The mountain behind Canghe Village doesn’t have a name either, because it’s behind the village and everyone in the village calls it Back Mountain.

Yan Qingqing and others had already set out for the mountains with their backpacks on their backs while it was getting dark.

Yan Qingqing and the others also met many people from the village along the way.

We all live in the same village, so we naturally greet each other one by one.

Some people saw Yan Qingqing's family laughing at it. After all, when Li Chengye was admitted to Tongsheng, Mrs. Li and Zhao Yumei showed off in front of the villagers.

Of course, there are also those who sympathize with Yan Qingqing, who feel that it is not easy for her to live a life as a woman and a widow with six or seven children.

Yan Qingqing didn't care about other people's eyes. She walked calmly on the road, looking at the vibrant roads on both sides, simple and elegant. The mountains in the distance are covered with clouds on the treetops, fog is flowing in the valleys, and the green forests are blowing in the wind, which is beautiful.

At this moment, Yan Qingqing felt that if she had no worries about food and clothing, it would be a good choice to retire here.

Just as Yan Qingqing was fascinated by the mountains and rivers, Aunt Wang came trotting over from the opposite side carrying a big carp with a smile on her face. Aunt Wang's house is very close to Yan Qingqing's house. She helped Yan Qingqing last time when Yan Qingqing quarreled with Mrs. Li.

Aunt Wang's cheerful steps were like a rare treasure. This scene brought Yan Qingqing back to reality.

Yan Qingqing smiled and asked, "Auntie, this carp is quite big."

Aunt Wang was so happy that she didn't see Yan Qingqing and his mother.

Aunt Wang felt a little embarrassed when Yan Qingqing spoke, and said, "It's Xiang Pingniang, alas, it's all thanks to you that my fifth child also caught a big fish.

Auntie always feels embarrassed when talking about it. I know you came up with this fishing method. It’s not very authentic for us to do this. But there are several children in the family who are very greedy, and Auntie can’t do anything about it. "

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Auntie, what you said is serious. I'm sorry for not using it. This river belongs to everyone, and whoever catches the fish in it will be the one who gets it."

Aunt Wang was happy after hearing Yan Qingqing's words.

The two chatted for a few more words and then went about their business.

This Aunt Wang's man is called Wang Fugui, and the couple are both in their 40s, which would be a good time in modern times, but they were already considered old in ancient times.

Wang Fugui's family has five sons, and the family is not well off. The youngest son Wu Gang is 16 years old, but he has not yet married a wife because the family is poor.

In the past, when Yan Qingqing was bullied by Mrs. Li and Zhao Yumei, she secretly hid and wiped her tears several times. Aunt Wang saw her twice, and she even secretly stuffed the original owner with thick flour pancakes once.

To say that the folk customs in Canghe Village are generally quite simple, thinking about this, Yan Qingqing and the others quickly arrived at the mountain.

The hillside near Canghe Village was almost completely flattened by the villagers, and nothing valuable could be found at all.

So Yan Qingqing decided to take a walk into the mountains.

When Li Xinniang saw that Yan Qingqing was going into the mountains, she reminded her: "Mom, let's not go in. It was because Dad went into the mountains that he lost his footing and fell down the hillside."

In order to support Li Chengye's studies, Mrs. Li forced Li Erniu and Li Sanniu to find ways to make money all day long. Li Erniu was a more practical person and thought about hunting animals on rainy days, but he accidentally lost his footing and fell down the hillside.

Although Mr. Li also took the initiative to hire a doctor, Li Erniu's injury was too serious. It is impossible to cure the Li family under their conditions. Li Erniu passed away after lying in bed for more than ten days.

Yan Qingqing said that Li Erniu deserved it, because he did not care about the lives of his wife and children for the sake of his eldest brother. In the end, Mrs. Li didn't even get a single word of kindness from her even after she died.

If this were placed in modern times, it would be a mama's boy plus a brother-in-law.

However, Yan Qingqing saw that the three children looked sad when they mentioned Li Erniu, so it was difficult to say anything.

Yan Qingqing is a very purposeful person. Since he goes up the mountain, he must gain something.

So he said: "Don't worry, it will be fine. I won't be stupid like your father and risk my life."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked into the mountains. In fact, Yan Qingqing was not reckless. She carefully observed the surrounding area and found no footprints or feces of large animals.

Besides, she was just walking inside a little bit, not really going into the mountains.

Seeing Yan Qingqing's serious look, the children thought that their father had not thought much about them before he was alive. Mom is now venturing into the mountains to make their lives better.

Li Xinniang and others quickly followed Yan Qingqing's pace.

Yan Qingqing looked at the surrounding trees becoming more and more lush, and knew that he could not go any further.

So he said to a few people: "Let's search around here and see if we can find anything. But don't go too far."

Several people nodded when they heard this, and Yan Qingqing also began to search carefully nearby.

She found Coprinus comatus in a patch of grass, as well as several types of edible fungi.

These days, because most people don’t know enough about fungi, they generally think they are poisonous, and most people don’t dare to eat them even if they see them.

In her previous life, Yan Qingqing's favorite thing to eat was mushrooms, which were delicious whether she was making soup or making hot pot.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing quickly picked all the edible mushrooms he saw and put them into his backpack.

In addition, Yan Qingqing also found a nest of bird eggs in the grass. She counted seven in total, which made Yan Qingqing very happy.

Their family is so poor now that they don't even have chickens, let alone eggs.

Yan Qingqing happily put the eggs into the basket carefully.

Just when Yan Qingqing was about to search again to see if he could find anything else, Li Xiangkang happily waved the stuff in his hand in front of Yan Qingqing and said to her like a treasure: "Mom, look what I caught. ?”

Yan Qingqing felt her scalp numb when she saw what Li Xiangkang was holding. I got goosebumps all over my body.
