"Xiao Bai, what are you doing? Why does it smell so good?" Ms. Liu had just finished taking a bath and walked out of the hut when she was attracted by the overbearing fragrance.
"Sauerkraut fish."
After the sauerkraut is fragrant, Chen Wanbai pours an appropriate amount of water into the pot, boils it and puts the fish fillets into the pot one by one.
In a short while, the pickled fish will be ready. In the golden soup, the white fish fillets are looming, and the aroma exudes makes people salivate.
"Mom, you eat first, I'll take a shower and I'll be back soon."
Originally, Chen Wanbai wanted to take a shower as soon as he got home. But considering that it would be dark after taking a shower, I couldn’t see cooking. So when she got home, she simply washed the mud off her body.
"Then go quickly, I'll wait for you to eat together." Mrs. Liu urged.
The weather is still very hot now, and the food will not cool down so quickly if it is later. Even if it is cold, you can still eat it.
Chen Wanbai carried two buckets of water to the bathroom, closed the door, and took a quick shower to wash away the caked mud.
Seeing Chen Wanbai come out clean, Mrs. Liu immediately put the food on the table.
As soon as the pickled fish is served, the rich aroma will hit your nostrils, making people want to eat it to their heart's content.
It was the first time Liu had eaten this dish, and she was amazed after just one bite.
The fish meat is tender and smooth, melting in your mouth, and the sour and spicy taste is endless.
Not only is the fish delicious, but the soup is also very delicious.
Mrs. Liu ate two bowls of rice without knowing it.
"Mom, I am going to the mountains to collect mushrooms in the next few days and sell them in the town for money. When it gets colder in a while, there will be no more mushrooms to collect."
< p> Chen Wanbai said slowly while eating his meal. This pickled fish dish reminded her of Tai Er in her previous life. Although it lacked some so-called technology and hard work, it had more of a pure natural flavor.It hasn’t rained in the past few days, but at this time, there will be no shortage of bacteria. I was originally going to the mountain today, but I was delayed. I have to go up the mountain tomorrow anyway.
"Then be careful." Mrs. Liu put down the bowl in her hand and said softly.
"When the time comes, let's buy this piece of land first, otherwise I don't think it's safe."
"What's wrong? I haven't bought this house now." Was it built on the ground?" Mrs. Liu didn't quite understand. She was worried about spending money to build the house a few days ago, but luckily it didn't cost much. But if you want to buy land now, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
"Mom, the house we live in now can be occupied by anyone in the village. Now it's just the village chief's word that it belongs to us temporarily."
" Moreover, if you don’t buy this land, if someone else buys it later, our house will be lost.Wasn't it built for someone else? Wouldn’t this vegetable field be dug for free by others? "
Chen Wanbai explained patiently.
"Mom didn't consider this..."
Chen Wanbai stopped talking and only concentrated on eating.
After finishing the meal, Chen Wanbai put away the dishes and chopsticks silently, without saying a word during the whole process, and then went to take a shower.
Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter was unwilling to talk to her. Opening her mouth, she wanted to stop her.
But she didn't know what to say. Ms. Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea. The money at home was getting less and less, except for her daughter selling mushrooms. Apart from getting some money from the prey, there is no other income.
What should I do if someone has a headache?
The more Liu thought about it, the more worried he became. , her brows furrowed tightly. She knew that the family's financial situation was not optimistic, and the little money her daughter earned from selling mushrooms and prey was just a drop in the bucket.
She couldn't help but sigh. Sitting silently on the chair, tears began to well up in her eyes again.
In fact, what the girl said was not unreasonable. The land they live in now is the land in the village. As long as someone is willing to pay, they can buy it at any time. Let's go. By then, they won't even have a place to stay, so it would be safer and more secure to buy it as soon as possible.
In addition, it is approaching winter, so what will happen to them and their daughter? If there is no place to live, where should we go?

At this moment, Chen Wanbai left the bathroom after taking a shower. Come out. She saw Mrs. Liu sitting there crying silently, and she couldn't help but feel soft.
After all, Mrs. Liu is just a young man who has not experienced much in the world, and she really shouldn't be too harsh on her. Harsh.
"Mom, don't worry too much, there will always be a way. "Chen Wanbai said softly to comfort her.
Ms. Liu raised her head and looked at Chen Wanbai, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. Her daughter was not really angry with herself.
She clicked He nodded and said: "Xiao Bai, my mother didn't think carefully about this matter. What you said is absolutely true. Mom is just worried about what we should do if we run out of money in the future. "
Chen Wanbai walked to Mrs. Liu, sat down, held her hand, and persuaded: "Mom, we can find a solution together. Think about it again, if we have no place to live by then, will the remaining money be enough for us to find a new place to live? "
Mrs. Liu choked, yes, maybe spending more money will not help.
Chen Wanbai continued: "I will work harder to pick up fungi and hunt in the mountains. Take advantage of this opportunity to earn more money. Moreover, I will also think about other livelihoods. "
Mrs. Liu held Chen Wanbai's hand with her backhand and nodded. She believed that her daughter was so smart that she would definitely find a way.
"Okay, go to bed early."
The next day, the sky was still immersed in darkness, the surroundings were quiet, except for a few lonely stars. Faintly twinkling in the distant sky.
Chen Wanbai woke up early before dawn, and she planned to go up the mountain.
She stood up gently, for fear of waking Mrs. Liu who was sleeping next door.
After a brief wash, the sky was a little gray and I could already see some of the road conditions clearly.
She stepped on the bow and arrow, grabbed the hatchet, picked up the backpack filled with various tools, and prepared to go out.
Before going out, she took a special look at Liu's house next door, and then gently closed the door.
The morning air is filled with a hint of coolness and the freshness of dew. She walked along the winding path towards the mountain step by step.
The soil under your feet is still moist from the night, and the grass is dotted with crystal dewdrops, shining faintly in the faint morning light.
Chen Wanbai carefully avoided the wet grass to avoid getting his trousers wet. The straw sandals on my feet were soaked through, making them feel itchy.
Chop some suitable sticks as you walk along the road. When she reached an open area, she knelt down and started whittling the tools needed for the trap.
The method of making traps was taught by Wan Chaogui before, plus the various YouTube videos he watched in his previous life. Now she is very good at making it.
After the tools needed for the trap were made, she headed deeper into the mountain.
Relying on what he had learned, he carefully searched for clues that small animals might appear, and then carefully laid traps on the animal path.
After finishing, she will also break off some branches or pull off some vines nearby to make conspicuous and unique marks so that they can be found accurately later.
In this way, she set traps along the mountain road, not letting go of any place where prey might pass by.
When all the materials in her hand were used up, she had made seven or eight traps along the way. I think it's almost done, and the sky is getting brighter now.
She walked into the dense woods, intending to look for fungi.
Bending down, he carefully pushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him, carefully searching for every place where fungi might grow.
The mountain forest is filled with fresh air, and birds are chirping happily on the branches.
Probably because it hadn’t rained in the past few days and the fungi were particularly hard to find, she couldn’t help but feel a little irritated.
In the process of searching for fungi, Chen Wanbai unknowingly went deeper into the mountain forest.
Suddenly, a humming sound was heard coming from a distance. The sound echoed in the mountains and forests like muffled thunder, making her heart tighten.
