When the tips of her fingers sank another half inch, she felt something different from the soft sand.
Su Zhi's heart thumped wildly. She pushed away the sand on top of it with all her might, digging with both excitement and worry.
No one was around, so she let go and finally dug out the treasure buried deep in the ground.
It was a piece of yam as thick as an adult's arm, fresh and covered in a layer of sand.
The tentacles were very dense, and one could tell at a glance that they were good ingredients with a sticky and sticky taste.
Su Zhi's heart thumped incessantly. Holding the mountain medicine, she wished she could run around the entire mountain.
During the years when resources were scarce, the difficulty of finding such food could be imagined.
She was as excited as a child as she carefully broke and put her things away, so as to not make a long-tongued woman like Mrs. Zhang jealous.
"A Jin, we can go home now."
A Jin, who was playing hide and seek with Little Dou Bao, turned around with a puzzled expression. Seeing her excited mother looking at her, a bright and innocent smile appeared on her face. "En, okay. Let's go home."
Actually, even without sweet potatoes, the food would be delicious. When father comes back, he would definitely bring a lot of snacks to him and Little Dou. He only needed to be obedient and not make things too difficult for mother.
Along the way, Su Zhi's face was tense as she led the two children back at a leisurely pace.
On the way, there was always gossip and unkind greetings. She pretended like she couldn't hear them as her heart fell on the mountain medicine she got.
Without growing corn, you don't know how hard it is to work. Today, he finally understood the true meaning behind all of this.
When Su Zhi returned home, she hurriedly took off the mountain medicine in her pocket and thought to herself: It would be great if I could have a fat and beautiful old hen. Stew a pot of soup, happily drink a meal, stewed yam mother chicken soup, do not add oil and salt fragrant.
After he peeled off the yam, the hairpin on his head started to heat up. Su Zhi immediately took it off and placed it on the stove. Sure enough, that fresh chicken that had been slaughtered actually appeared.
Su Zhi was overjoyed. She hurriedly chopped them into chunks and boiled them in water before letting the cold water start to boil. After the water boiled, she put down the cut yam and simmered it in a small fire.
About an hour later, the wild yam chicken soup was ready.
Noticing the fragrance, A Jin closed the door and windows very flexibly, waiting for the chicken soup to be served.
"Mother, father always said you were a treasure. A Jin also thinks so."
Su Zhi burst out in laughter. "Ah Jin's mouth is so sweet."
After a meal accompanied by a fragrant chicken soup, the three of them still had some leftovers from eating until their stomachs were full.
A Jin didn't ask where the pheasant came from. Her father could take a bow and arrow to the back of the mountain to hunt wild boars, and her mother could also do so.
After finishing her meal, Su Zhi started to clean up the table. At this time, the door was kicked open, and a blinding light flashed into the room as a sharp voice yelled, "Wow, you cunning fox, there's evidence and evidence everywhere. Let's see how you deny this!"
Before Su Zhi could figure out how Mrs Zhang had appeared, she was immediately insulted and insulted by her opponent.
"Someone come, the hunter's wife has become a thief!" Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu! Come quickly, your chicken is in my stomach. "
Zhang Shi shouted with his head raised.
Su Zhi stood up, blocked in front of the two children and asked sternly, "Zhang Clan, this is my house. This is trespassing! "
She had just heard the reason why Zhang Clan came to her house this time. It seemed that the eldest son of Uncle Fu, who had gone to the back of the village with great difficulty to hunt a wild chicken, had been stabbed with a pair of wings.
Zhang Shi heard Uncle Fu's helpless cries and also happened to smell the fragrance coming from the hunter's house. She immediately let her brother split the wood door and rush in. With a single glance …
He actually saw the leftover soup pot on the small wooden table, as well as the leftover chicken bones.
"Someone come, the hunter's wife has become a thief!" Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu! Come quickly, your chicken is in my stomach. "
Su Zhi stood up, blocked in front of the two children and asked sternly, "Zhang Clan, this is my house. This is trespassing! "
"Pfft, normally you would just be an honest and honest person, but I didn't think that you would do this kind of thing." Uncle Fu's youngest son was about to die from illness. Pointing at the wild game to prolong his life, he didn't have the face to fight over food with someone who was about to die. What? You want to die before him? "
"Zhang!" I'm warning you, be careful when you speak! " Su Zhi was not someone to be trifled with.
Both of them were furious and the loud noise attracted the villagers over.
The first to arrive was Uncle Fu and his family. Seeing the chicken bones on the table, they rushed forward with the intention to beat Su Zhi up.
"I want to see who dares! Don't forget, when my husband was here, he helped quite a few of you! Now that he has gone to the front line, you who have received kindness so often do not know how to take pity on us, the orphans and the widows, and even try to bully us! My conscience has been eaten by dogs! "
Su Zhi panicked, putting the two children behind her, and said coldly.
Uncle Fu pointed at Su Zhi, but couldn't find a word to say. "Even if a Nie kid took care of the villagers, what right do you have to steal our family's chickens?"
"Which one of your eyes saw me eating your chicken? When did your son come back from hunting? I've already eaten all of this soup. What, can it be that I can change my technique in a second and make all of the raw ones ripe? "
Everyone in the room was staring at Su Zhi viciously. A Jin ran out from behind her crying and loudly explained, "We didn't eat your family's chickens. Mom and I worked hard to get all of this! We didn't steal it! "
Looking at her son who was rushing in front of her and spreading his arms to protect her, Su Zhi sadly squatted down and hugged him.
"You guys are the worst. Don't think that I don't know what you guys are talking about behind your backs. Last night, who climbed up the wall in a delusional attempt to bully a woman like me, do you think that I don't know? Stabbing someone in the back, he wasn't afraid of his tongue getting rotten. "Since you all think I was the one who stole it, take out the evidence. Otherwise, go to the government!"
