Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 396 Lai Fu Chasing Chickens

Grandma Pan didn't stay long. After chatting with Grandma Ye for a while, she planned to invite Grandma Ye to her house for dinner, but Grandma Ye refused.

Everyone has been busy with farm work during this period. For a guest like this, according to the most basic farmer's hospitality, they must prepare several sumptuous dishes. Grandma Ye didn't want Grandma Pan to be so busy.

As for making a wish, since I have been there several times, I am quite familiar with the place, so I am not so particular about it.

"Okay, then I won't force you. When I'm free, I'll go to Zhuhou Village to have a look." Grandma Pan said hello and took Pan Dahai back home.

"Guozi, take Brother Dong to the mountain to pick some lychees and bring them back. Be careful when you climb the trees."

"Don't worry, don't be afraid. Your brother Adong is very good at climbing trees. You can rest assured with him around." Ye Qiuer said and gave Xuyuan a reassuring look.

"Xiaozhi, do you want to go with us?" Ye Dong'er gently tugged at Xu Zhi's sleeve and asked softly.

"You guys just go, I'll stay and help." Xu Zhi shook his head.

"Oh." Ye Dong'er curled her lips and said a little disappointedly.

"I want to go too, sis. I promise to walk properly."

The last time I was looking for mushrooms in the lychee forest, I fell and sprained my foot. The pain is still fresh in my memory.

"Okay, it's good that you have this awareness." Xu Yuan replied.

……

When Grandma Pan and Pan Dahai returned home, they heard a "bang" sound coming from inside before they even reached the door.

The two were so frightened that they pushed the door open quickly, and all they saw was a mess.

All the peppers that were drying on the racks fell to the ground, and the grains that were drying were scattered everywhere. There was nothing to be seen.

"Who!"

Pan Dahai shouted loudly.

"Oh my God, what a waste." After Grandma Pan put the noodles away, she picked up the peppers on the ground one by one with a look of heartache.

"Grandma, I didn't find any traces." Pan Dahai immediately checked the house inside and out, but found nothing.

"Then it shouldn't be some large dangerous animal coming." Grandma Pan replied.

The two men started picking up dried chilies without even having time to take a sip of water as soon as they entered the door.

"Grandma, why don't we learn from Sister Xuyuan and string the peppers together one by one, and then hang them directly on the pole to dry."

"Well, that's a good idea."

"Oh, isn't this chicken feathers?" Grandma Pan saw a small tuft of white fluff in one place and immediately recognized what it was.

"Ah? Did the chickens run out?" Pan Dahai quickly stood up and looked inside the chicken coop.

At this time, everyone is drying the millet. The chickens that are usually let out of the chicken coop and raised freely will be kept obediently in the chicken coop. If the chickens come out, it will be a disaster.

Pan Dahai still held on to hope and thought it was impossible, but when he actually saw a small hole next to the chicken coop and all the chickens in the coop were gone, he felt terrible.

It's over, it's over.

"Grandma, all the chickens in the chicken coop ran out." Pan Dahai shouted anxiously.

When he just came in, the courtyard door was half-open, leaving a gap. Fortunately, the fence door of the vegetable garden was closed, otherwise the chickens would run into the vegetable garden. Pan Dahai couldn't imagine how bad it would be.

"Hurry up, look around the village and chase him back."

Grandma Pan had no intention of picking the peppers this time. It seemed that these were the work of the chickens that had escaped.

The two were about to go out to look for the chicken, then there was a noise outside the door.

"Hehe..."

The roosters crowed and ran in from the courtyard gate with their wings spread out, as if something was chasing them. They ran in in panic and ran around everywhere.

Grandma Pan quickly took a broom and drove them into the chicken coop.

"Woof..." When all the chickens ran in, a gray dog ​​rushed in from outside the door and chased the chickens.

"Laifu! Go over there, the chicken coop is over there."

Pan Dahai didn't understand anything now, so he quickly shouted to Lai Fu, subconsciously thinking that Lai Fu could understand what people were saying.

After a lot of busy work, Pan Grandma and Pan Dahai repaired the chicken coop and were so tired that they sat down on the ground.

"Luckily we met Lai Fu, otherwise it would have taken us so much time." Grandma Pan touched Lai Fu who was lying obediently at her feet and said with emotion.

"This Lai Fu is so smart. I also want to raise one like him." Pan Dahai said enviously.

"Woof..." Lai Fu shouted to Pan Dahai, then stood up and rubbed Pan Grandma's feet, sticking out his tongue and repairing something with his head down.

"Don't be envious here, Dahai, go pour some water for Lai Fu to drink." Grandma Pan urged, then stood up and continued to pick up all the dried chilies that had fallen on the ground.

"Laifu, come with me." Pan Dahai said to Laifu and hooked his finger.

……

Everyone worked like this for the whole morning, and when all the sweet potato stalks were done, Xuyuan brought the dried sweet potato stalks and peppers to the table in the kitchen and cut the peppers into slices.

Ye Qiuer also rolled up her sleeves and came over to help cut.

"Xuyuan, there are plenty of those sweet stalks planted in your yard by the river in my village. They are thicker than the ones in your field. People in the village plant them in their vegetable gardens. I'll bring some to you next time I come."

"No, you can keep it for yourself. Even better, you can plant some. This is sugarcane, which can be used to make sugar."

"Yeah." Ye Qiuer nodded naturally, then realized something was wrong, "Hmm?"

"Can it make sugar?"

"Then I have to plant more. I can propose to the village chief that everyone should plant some. After all, this sweet thing is the favorite of children and girls."

The two chatted while cutting peppers, while Xu Zhi took Ye Maner and Ye Grandma to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden.

"That's enough." Grandma Pan took a quick look at the dishes and said quickly that it was almost enough.

"Why don't you pick some beans and take them back?"

"No need. We have some in our vegetable garden at home, small branches. These are all we need. No need to take more." Ye Maner said as she picked up two bundles of vegetables.

On the other side, Xuyuan mixed the sweet potato stalks, chili peppers, garlic, a few peppercorns and salt, and mixed the whole thing evenly. Together with Ye Qiuer, they stuffed all of it into the jar.

"Take this jar back and you can eat it after seven days."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Qiuer didn't hesitate to thank him and put it in the car.

The sun was shining brightly outside, so Xu Yuan went out, picked up the rake and turned the millet over again.

……

After lunch, it was time to say goodbye, and Xu Yuan sent Ye Qiuer and his group to the entrance of the cave.

He warned: "Be careful on the road."

"Yes, we will. No need to send me off." Ye Qiuer waved her hand.

Grandma Ye turned to look at Xu Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, we will come again next time when we have time. You guys need to take care of yourself."

"Well, Grandma Ye, you should also take care of your health."
