Just in case, Li Zheng also asked the women to help pick out the fungus. He followed Li Qingxiu's method and smelled the fungus for a pungent smell to determine whether it was poisonous.

After picking out several baskets of fungus, the woman cleaned the fungus, spread it flat on a bamboo sieve, and placed it in a stone pavilion to dry.

At this time, Li Zheng looked at Li Qingxiu and asked, "Qingxiu girl, how to plant the tree trunk with the fungus species?"

This time they brought back six dead trees with small black fungus on them.

Li Qingxiu told the men to move all six trees to the vacant straw shed. The men followed his words and carefully moved the six tree trunks with fungus species into the straw shed.

Li Qingxiu also told them in detail how to water the fungus appropriately and maintain humidity so that the fungus can grow healthily.

The men listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show that they fully understood. After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, they began to get busy, watering these fungus trees to ensure that the humidity was suitable.

Seeing that they all got started quickly, Li Qingxiu exited the hut, only to see a group of women surrounding Widow Jia talking.

As soon as Li Qingxiu stepped forward, she heard Widow Jia talking about how they were being targeted by monkeys.

The women all held winter bamboo shoots in their hands, and the expressions on their faces changed as Widow Jia narrated, sometimes frightened and sometimes worried. At the end, they also breathed a sigh of relief along with Widow Jia.

Xiao Chen complained a little: "Ms. Jia, I'm not talking about you, you are still Qingxiu's aunt, why don't you persuade Qingxiu? It's cold and dark today, but you two women dare to walk alone in the mountains and forests , it’s really too dangerous.”

Zhao Cuihua also echoed: "That's right, fortunately Qingxiu is smart and capable, otherwise how could you have come back."

Widow Jia was told that she didn't dare to talk back. She didn't get Li Qingxiu's permission, and she didn't dare to say that the mountain god had assigned Li Qingxiu a mission to collect ten kinds of wild vegetables.

Li Qingxiu stepped forward to rescue Widow Jia. "Boss, don't talk about aunt. It's me who insists on going, and aunt can't do anything to me."

Mrs. Chen stretched out her finger and tapped Li Qingxiu's head, "You think I won't criticize you if you say this, right? Even though you are very capable, you can't always have your own way. What if something happens?" What do you want Xiaofeng and Xiaoxiao to do?"

Li Qingxiu suddenly had a headache, and it came again and again...

Widow Jia couldn't see Li Qingxiu being talked about and changed the subject. "You see, these winter bamboo shoots are quite plump. Do you want me to take you to dig them? There are many more there."

The women were all moved by what Widow Jia said, but when they turned around and thought about the monkeys there, they gave up the idea.

One of the women waved her hands and said: "No, no, although the winter bamboo shoots are delicious, I am also afraid of those monkeys."

Seeing this, Li Qingxiu comforted everyone with a smile: "Monkeys are not there every day. And we can find more people to go with us. The more people we have, the more powerful we are, and the monkeys will be scared."

When Li Zheng saw the winter bamboo shoots brought back by Li Qingxiu and Widow Jia, he felt itchy in his heart. He was even more itchy when he heard Widow Jia say that there were still many winter bamboo shoots.

So he said: "We went out twice today. Everyone is tired. Let's wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow we have to go find the beehive and dig up all the winter bamboo shoots."

After hearing this, everyone responded and Li Qingxiu took the winter bamboo shoots she found and went back with Li Dazhuang. She was going to Li Dazhuang's house to pick up Qingfeng Li and Li Qingxiao to go home.

At this time, Li Dazhuang's family was eating noodle soup with homemade pickles.

Li Dazhuang, who had been busy for a long time, was already hungry. He smelled the familiar fragrance of noodles and felt even more hungry. "I'm eating gnocchi today, it's so delicious!"

Seeing that her man and Li Qingxiu were back, Mrs. Chen quickly greeted them happily, "You are finally back. Why did you go so long this time?"

Li Dazhuang gave the two kilograms of venison that Li Zheng had given to his family to Da Chen and said, "I came back a long time ago. I was just dealing with the wild animals. Let's freeze the venison that was distributed."

Li Qingfeng, who was eating gnocchi, saw that his sister was back, so he stood up and ran over happily. He immediately hugged Li Qingxiu and said, "Sister, you are back. I am so worried about you."

"Don't worry, sister is not hurt at all. Where is my sister?" Li Qingxiu touched Qingfeng Li's head and comforted her.

Qingfeng Li turned around and pointed in the direction of the kang bed and said, "My sister has finished drinking milk and went to bed."

Da Chen said to Li Qingxiu: "Qingxiu, please sit down and eat a bowl of noodles to warm yourself up."

"No, auntie, I'm here to take Xiaofeng and Xiaoxiao back." After saying that, Li Qingxiu put down the bamboo basket on her back and stuffed eight winter bamboo shoots into Mrs. Chen.

Li Xiaocao saw that it was winter bamboo shoots and said happily: "It's winter bamboo shoots! The winter bamboo shoots at this time are delicious and not bitter at all."

When Li Dazhuang saw this, he quickly said to Da Chen: "My dear, give the winter bamboo shoots back to Qingxiu, I'm going to dig them up tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen wanted to return the winter bamboo shoots in her arms to Li Qingxiu, but Li Qingxiu blocked them with her hands, "It's just these bamboo shoots, there's no need to push them around."

After speaking, Li Qingxiu put the bamboo basket on her back and walked to the kang bed to pick up Li Qingxiao, who was sleeping soundly.

Qingfeng Li, on the other hand, ran back to the table and hurriedly finished the remaining bowl of gnocchi. His sister had said that children who waste food are bad and should be spanked.

Li Qingxiu held Li Qingxiao with both hands and said to Da Chen and Li Dazhuang: "Uncle Da Zhuang, eldest uncle, let's go back first."

Da Chen nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, go back quickly, it's cold outside."

Li Dazhuang also warned: "Be careful on the road."

Li Qingxiu said hello and went out with her younger siblings.

Qingfeng Li asked as he walked: "Sister, did you encounter any wild animals when you went up the mountain today?"

Li Qingxiu replied: "Of course there is, otherwise where did those few kilograms of venison in the bamboo basket come from?"

She didn't want to tell Qingfeng Li about the monkey attack, otherwise Qingfeng Li would be even more worried next time she went out.

Qingfeng Li's eyes were full of doubts, he scratched his head and asked, "Which one is more ferocious, a deer or a big insect?"

"Of course it's a big insect. This deer was caught in the trap dug by Brother Li Lei."

The siblings walked and chatted and soon returned home. Li Qingxiu put Li Qingxiao on the bed, while Li Qingfeng went to heat the kang bed.

After Li Qingxiu put the bamboo basket away, she went to the kitchen to boil water for a bath. While waiting for the water to heat up, she took out the strawberry cake and ate it.

This time Li Qingxiu didn't share it with Qingfeng Li, because Qingfeng Li had already eaten a piece before.

Qingfeng Li resisted his greed and did not ask for it from Li Qingxiu, because he knew that Li Qingxiu had not eaten yet and must be tired and hungry now.
