Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Meng Haisheng was going to the mountain to dig Bupleurum, so he got up early.

He cooked a pot of rice porridge and made a large stack of scallion pancakes, then went to call Lin Mucheng and Momo on the kang.

In fact, Lin Mucheng had woken up a long time ago, but she didn't get up when she heard Meng Haisheng in the kitchen.

Meng Haisheng went into the room and saw Lin Mucheng was awake.

"I have already prepared breakfast, you and Momo get up, wash your face and have breakfast."

"You stay at home today and don't go to the cucumber field. I will pick some cucumbers tomorrow and sell them in Haiqing Town."

Lin Mucheng responded in a low voice without asking any more questions.

Meng Haisheng felt Lin Mucheng's alienation, but he was not angry.

He filled a lunch box with rice porridge in an aluminum lunch box, took the scallion pancakes he had already baked, and took the basket and went out.

Yesterday, Meng Haisheng and Meng Daniu agreed to go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum together today.

When he came to call Meng Daniu, Meng Daniu was already ready.

"Brother Daniu, why are you the only one at home? Where is my second uncle?"

"They went to the fields. There are too many fields at home to handle them."

Meng Haisheng nodded slightly.

Meng Guangjun has three sons and two grandsons. The whole family has not separated and eats together. There are many fields at home, so they have to get up early and go to work in the fields.

Digging bupleurum is a hard job. Meng Haisheng is ready to stay in the mountains for a day.

Not long after the two entered the mountains, they saw a lot of bupleurum growing on a weedy hillside.

It is not the best time to dig bupleurum. There are weeds all around, and bupleurum is difficult to identify.

In Meng Haisheng's memory, bupleurum is not even as thick as a little finger.

But when he really started digging, he found that bupleurum was much thicker than he imagined.

Perhaps it was because the villagers rarely went up the mountain to dig bupleurum.

The bupleurum on their mountain is all over five or six years old.

The older the bupleurum is, the better its quality is.

Meng Haisheng put down the tools in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to dig bupleurum.

"Brother Daniu, let's set rabbit traps. After digging bupleurum, maybe we can catch a few rabbits."

Meng Daniu smiled when he heard about rabbit traps.

"I took the wire, why didn't you take anything?"

"Today I'll change my trick and use vines to set traps."

The most abundant thing on the mountain is all kinds of tough vines.

Meng Haisheng used a knife to pull out long vines, made rabbit traps, and placed them in the grass where rabbits passed by.

Meng Daniu set rabbit traps very quickly with wire, and soon he set more than a dozen.

On the other hand, Meng Haisheng only set 10 rabbit traps after working for a long time.

"Haisheng, can you do this?"

"I heard it from others, let's give it a try."

When Meng Haisheng went to work in the south, he heard from his co-workers on the construction site that he was just trying it this time, just in case he got lucky and caught it.

After setting the trap, the two rolled up their sleeves and started digging bupleurum.

"Brother Daniu, be careful when digging, don't damage the bupleurum bark."

Although digging bupleurum does not require as much care as digging ginseng.

But if there are many wounds on the bupleurum, the price will definitely be affected.

"Don't worry."

As Meng Daniu said, he dug a big bupleurum with a pickaxe.

It had rained recently on the mountain, and the soil was soft. Meng Daniu was also very strong, so digging bupleurum was easier than digging carrots.

Meng Haisheng on the side was amazed.

Meng Daniu's strength really lived up to his name.

The two of them sweated profusely on the mountain, and the hillside was almost turned over by them.

In one morning, not only was the basket that Meng Haisheng brought full, but another fertilizer bag was also mostly full.

After harvesting so many bupleurum, Meng Haisheng's arms were tired like noodles.

"Brother Daniu, let's take a break, have some lunch, and go check our rabbit traps later."

"I'm so tired. Digging bupleurum is really not a job for humans. It's too tiring."

The mountain is overgrown with weeds, and the root system of the weeds is very large.

These roots are the most troublesome when digging bupleurum. You can't get rid of these tangled grass roots without strength.

Meng Haisheng and Meng Daniu found a dry big rock to sit on.

"I brought porridge and scallion pancakes. What did you bring?"

It's also very good to drink porridge when it's hot.

"I brought some pancakes."

Meng Daniu took out two pancakes wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket.

It's easy to tell that this was made by Meng Daniu's mother, Qiu Shuyi.

If Meng Daniu took the pancakes himself, he would probably put them directly in his pocket.

The pancakes steamed last night were as hard as rocks.

Meng Daniu didn't care and ate them in big mouthfuls.

But while he was eating, he would occasionally glance at the porridge in Meng Haisheng's lunch box.

His gaze was so hot thatIt's hot.

"Here, it's too dry to eat only the biscuits."

Meng Haisheng poured some porridge to Meng Daniu with the lid of the lunch box and handed it to him.

"Okay."

Meng Daniu broke the biscuits into pieces very neatly, put them on the lid of the lunch box, and ate them in big mouthfuls.

Two palm-sized biscuits were eaten in a short time, and Meng Daniu was only half full.

Meng Haisheng on the side sighed, no wonder the second uncle's family didn't have enough food with so much land.

It seems that it's true that the little boy is eating his father out of money.

The two rough men quickly filled their stomachs and went into the woods without taking the bupleurum.

The first thing they looked at was Meng Daniu's rabbit traps.

There was no doubt that all the dozen rabbit traps were empty.

Meng Daniu wanted to collect the rabbit traps, but Meng Haisheng didn't let him.

They will go into the mountains tomorrow, in case a rabbit is blind and bumps into the rabbit traps.

The two continued to walk towards the low grass where Meng Haisheng had set up the rabbit trap.

The five traps in front were empty.

"Haisheng, did we set up the rabbit trap too soon? It's only been half a morning."

"The wild rabbits are so cunning now, it's hard to catch them."

"It's okay, we'll pick them up if there are any, and leave the rabbit trap here if there are none."

Meng Haisheng's temperament has become much more open-minded than before.

If he had been like before, he would have kicked the rabbit traps away one by one and cursed a few times if he saw that there were no rabbits.

"Haisheng, hurry up, there's a rabbit trapped here."

Meng Daniu, who was walking in front, exclaimed and rushed out.

The two went over and saw a big rabbit weighing three or four pounds hanging on the rabbit trap.

Meng Haisheng stepped forward to check the rabbit trap. Fortunately, he had fixed the rabbit trap firmly enough at the beginning, otherwise such a big rabbit would have almost run away.

"Haisheng has a chance. I hope that you can catch a rabbit in the next few rabbit traps."

"I will definitely catch one."

"Then can I go to your house to eat rabbit meat tonight?"

Meng Daniu swallowed his saliva. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"It's not that troublesome. If you catch a rabbit later, take it home and let the second aunt make a big pot of rabbit meat for you."

Meng Daniu's eyes were full of light when he heard Meng Haisheng say this.

"Let's go and see if there are any more rabbits."

It's not known whether Meng Haisheng was lucky or Meng Daniu was lucky, they actually picked up another rabbit.

Meng Haisheng also kept his promise and gave the rabbit directly to Meng Daniu.

Looking at Meng Daniu, he was as happy as a child.

Meng Haisheng also became happy.

There is nothing better than being alive in this world.

In his previous life, Meng Daniu died early in his best years.

Before he died, he didn't even have a good meal of meat.

Whenever he thought of the past, Meng Haisheng felt very uncomfortable.

Now it's all right, everything is still in time.

In the afternoon, the two went down the mountain together, and Meng Daniu directly gave all the Bupleurum in his hand to Meng Haisheng.

"Brother Daniu, what are you doing? Take these Bupleurum home to wash and dry them, and let's sell them outside. If you give them to me, you won't be able to sell them."

"You give me rice soup and rabbits, and I'll give you Bupleurum."

Looking at the half bag of Bupleurum that Meng Daniu forced to stuff over, Meng Haisheng chose to keep it.

If he gave it to Meng Daniu now, he was afraid that no one in his family would regard these Bupleurum as good things.

Wait until he takes them out and sells them for money.

Meng Daniu went home happily with the wild rabbit, and Meng Haisheng weighed the wild rabbit in his hand, and his face was full of smiles.

Today, the whole family can have a feast.
