In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

"Okay, Mom, then you walk slowly, don't get too tired, Xiaoye and I will help you walk."

Nian smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Mom knows that it's not easy for both of you to come down here with me. How can I be willing to make things difficult for you? Mom will be fine."

"Let's go, keep up with the big talk, otherwise we might get into trouble if we fall alone."

"it is good."

……

There were still people coming and going in the village. Those who occupied their properties and fields did not feel anything was wrong and lived in their houses with peace of mind.

The group of people watched from a distance on the mountainside, feeling uncomfortable.

Those houses were built on the land they built brick by brick, and the land they reclaimed as soon as they agreed with Tutu, now they all belong to others.

"Xiaonan, when do you think we can come back?" After these few years of running around, Li Zheng, like Nian, has a few strands of gray in his hair.

"Uncle, we can take back the house sooner or later. Since they are not afraid of death, let them live in it first."

The current situation in Lingzhou City is unclear. Since these people dare to live in their houses openly, they must bear corresponding risks.

"Hey!"

At that time, for the sake of Feng Shui, all the tombs were built on the mountainside. Now, there is no need to go down the mountain to burn incense and sweep the tombs of ancestors to worship.

On the way back, Li Zheng led everyone to take another road. This was the road they took up the mountain. It was much flatter than the road they took down before, and it was less strenuous to walk.

After walking for about an hour, everyone smelled the fragrance of flowers.

Shen Nan was very familiar with this floral fragrance.

When she goes home to worship her ancestors during the Qingming Festival every year, she can smell acacia flowers in the woods behind her hometown.

"Mom, there are acacia flowers!" She happily pulled Nian.

"You kid, you are not a Sophora japonica. This is a Sophora japonica flower, an old Sophora japonica flower."

"Sophora japonica?" Isn't that a locust tree?

"Yes, you don't remember. When you were a child, you always called your father to pick the kind of flower for you, which is the Sophora japonica flower." Nian thought about all the things in her youth and was filled with emotion.

"Mom, can you let Uncle Lizheng and the others go back first? I want to pick some locust flowers and bring them back."

"Ah, but we don't know the way back. If we get separated from them, it might be a bit troublesome to go back."

Nian was in a dilemma, because of her daughter's demands and the risks she would face if she went back alone.

"Sister Nian, since Xiaonan likes it, let's all stay here for a while, just in time to take a rest.

The little girl likes these flowers and plants, so let her go. We'll wait here. In short, it won't take long. "Li Zheng was considerate and solved Nian's troubles.

"Thank you, Brother Shen." Nian nodded gratefully towards Li Zheng.

Li Zheng nodded slightly and avoided it calmly, "You're welcome, Miss Nian."

"Then I'll take them to find Sophora japonica. Brother Shen, you can go about your business and don't worry about us."

"Ah."

......

Several people walked through the forest following the scent, and soon found an old locust tree more than ten meters high.

Shen Nan raised her head and looked at the white flowers, dotted among the green leaves, which were similar to the locust flowers she saw when she was a child. Isn't this called a locust? Maybe it's just called differently.

There are many ways to make acacia flowers, and the scent is so special, Shen Nan will not let these acacia flowers go.

After all, it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. After the two rains, all these Sophora japonica flowers are wasted. It is better to let her put them away and keep them fresh in the space. You can eat them whenever you want.

The sacrifices in the basket carried out in the morning have been used up, and now there is only an empty basket left, which cannot be used to hold sophora flowers.

She bought a piece of oil paper in the mall and put it in her basket, and asked the two of them to pick locust flowers.

No one in the village followed. It was far away from where they rested. Through the dense branches and leaves, they couldn't see the movement here.

She even took out ladders, scissors, gloves and other tools to provide great convenience for picking locust flowers.

Nian is too old to climb trees, so this task is given to Ono, who is the most skilled.

He climbed the tree without using any tools, and dropped the locust flowers from above as soon as they fell. Nian and Shen Shennan caught the locust flowers below, and gently put the collected locust flowers into the baskets lined with oil paper.

After a while, Shen Nan felt that this job was too tiring and she had to think of a better way.

Net, yes, use net.

She quickly bought a large plastic sheet in the space and tied the four corners to a nearby tree trunk. Now Xiao Yanye no longer had to bend down to pick up the sophora flowers dropped from above.

It all leaked out on the plastic sheet, and she took it off one by one. If too much fell on it, she would collect it all.

"Nannan, you are so smart, you can come up with such a method." Nian praised in admiration.

"Of course. When I was a child, I helped my father pick locust flowers. This is my strength. However, this job is too hard. If you want to pick it, you can come to me next time. I have the tools here."

Nian waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it, at my age, you little girls should just play."

It was too slow to pick locust flowers one by one. In the end, Shen Nan simply took out the bamboo pole and knocked the locust flowers off the tree one by one. Finally, he threw out all the big branches on the plastic sheet and put them directly into the space. inside.

Afraid that the villagers would wait too long, and unwilling to let go of so many locust trees, she followed the same pattern for the next two trees. It took less than four and 10 minutes in total to collect several large locust trees covered with plastic sheets. flower.

Later, the fallen Sophora japonica flowers were placed in the space, and they would be taken back later to be slowly picked out. What they were carrying back now was a basket of hand-picked Sophora japonica flowers.

"Are you back?" Li Zheng watched from a distance as the family of three walked back, stood up from the ground, and thumped his waist.

"What are you doing?" he asked, looking at the basket in front of them.

"It's not good to be idle. Let's just find something to do. We saw some wild vegetables here. We picked half a basket with wooden sticks and took them back to make dumplings later."

"That's good, that's good." Nian felt uncomfortable that it wasted everyone's time. She didn't expect that everyone would find things to do on their own, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Now everyone has gathered, everyone puts on their own backpacks and follows Li Zheng back.

The sophora flowers in Ono's basket exuded a fresh fragrance along the way, which made everyone unbearable.

"If I had known, I would have gone to pick locust flowers with you just now. No one would have thought that this locust flower would be so fragrant..." Shitou regretted a little. The wild vegetables in his basket were not as fragrant as the sophora flower.
