chapter391
After the two of them filtered the honey and killed the rabbit and pheasant, Zhou Ding took Lao Mi to say goodbye and went home.

After Zhou Huaian sent him out, he tied the courtyard door and went back to the house, "Yan'er, there are sixty or seventy kilograms of yams. I will leave ten kilograms of yams and two pheasants at home. Tomorrow you call grandpa and the others to eat together."

Yang Chunyan raised her head and said, "I want to go to Ning'an with you. By the way, I will take cousin Haili to the hospital to see her. I will tell my mother when I get the food tomorrow morning."

Zhou Huaian frowned and looked at her, "What's wrong? Are you still recovering from your concussion?"

Yang Chunyan shook her head, "No, it's another disease. Take her for a checkup."

Seeing that she didn't say anything or ask, Zhou Huaian said, "I'll keep the longer ones and send the others to Ning'an."

Yang Chunyan nodded, "We also cut some hemp and will deliver it together tomorrow."

"I want it!" Zhou Huaian picked out the yams, went to the kitchen to get hot water and went to the shower room.

Yang Chunyan asked Mother Yang to go to bed first. She went back to the house and closed the curtains. She took out four bamboo sticks from the box and a ball of wool, then went to bed and started knitting a small sweater for her child.

After getting started, Zhou Huaian came back after knitting a few circles and asked, "How many wild flowers are there on the mountain?"

Zhou Huaian closed the door, "There are also sticky grass, wild chrysanthemums, and a lot of wild cotton. I also saw some wild ginger that is still blooming in the forest."

After hearing this, Yang Chunyan laughed and said: "The roots of wild ginger and wild cotton are also medicinal, but they can only be harvested in spring and autumn. The young shoots of wild ginger have the same taste as the young ginger stir-fried with green peppers and meat slices. We will dig some and fry them tomorrow afternoon. Let’s eat and pick some cotton to make pillow cores.”

She swallowed as she spoke, feeling that she was particularly greedy after being pregnant, and her mouth watered just thinking about delicious food.

"I want it, there's a big one!" Zhou Huaian put a towel on the back of the chair and climbed onto the bed, "I'm exhausted, my legs are sore."

"I'm going to buy some big bones tomorrow and make soup to drink." Yang Chunyan looked at him, "Is your hair dry?"

"It's done!" Zhou Huaian lay down on her back and pulled her, "Yan'er, go to sleep, stop knitting."

"You go to bed first, and then I'll go to bed after I finish knitting this circle."

After Yang Chunyan finished knitting the circle, she turned around and saw that he was already asleep and snoring. It seemed that he was really tired.

Early the next morning, Yang Chunyan and the others got up, took their scarves, and drove the tractor out on the straw mat.

It was dark and foggy outside. When Zhou Huaian approached the curve of Tiankan Road, he saw the old couple and Luo Haili standing on the road waiting.

Zhou Huaian slowed down, jumped off the tractor after arriving, "Old man, wait for me to open the trunk panel."

"Yes." Zhou's father stepped forward to help remove the rear compartment panel.

Mother Zhou looked at Yang Chunyan and said, "It's cold in the morning. It's not convenient for you to wear thick clothes now so as not to catch a cold."
