93 Fifth Sister-in-law, So Good
Moreover, after three years' ti, they could even fight for it.
Hearing what Qiao Xuan said, Shao Xiaoqi felt very moved. He nodded and answered. "I got it, Fifth Sister-in-law!"
Fifth Sister-in-law was so concerned about him. She was really nice.
"But, you have to rember not to lie to !"
"Of course, Fifth Sister-in-law!"
The rabbit nest was full of fat and large wild rabbits, three of which beca Shao Xiaoqi's catch. Shao Taotao brought them ho.
The three of them walked for so ti before Qiao Xuan found the fig trees.
The trees looked quite like wild-growing trees, but with a special sll. Surprised, she decided to take them ho, but the decision startled Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao!
The two of them tried to stop her.
"Fifth Sister-in-law, we must not take these ho. They sll terrible!"
Qiao Xuan pointed at the finger-size green fruits with a smile. "The slly tree you know of is different from this one. That tree doesn't grow fruits, but look at this tree. It has figs which taste good when they ripen!"
More importantly, the trees were much easier to grow, better than mulberry trees. Even one twig could make it grow wildly.
Also, the figs tasted good but could not be transported easily. So, they were often dried.
Even in the modern ti, no fresh figs could be found in the fruit stores that were away from the place where figs were grown.
If so fresh figs were transported before they turned ripe, the taste would be much worse.
The real, mature figs had a great taste!
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao took a closer look at it and admired the fruit.
"They are different! Fifth Sister-in-law, you are so clever. You know everything!"
"Yes, we were wrong! Fifth Sister-in-law, how does fig grow? Does it bloom?"
Qiao Xuan smiled. "Yes, it blooms, except that the flowers are too small to be seen."
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao ca to a realization, and helped Qiao Xuan to dig the tree.
The three of them returned ho and ran into Ms. Niu, who was wandering about with her grandson in her arms, just as they were about to enter the village.
Ms. Niu, who saw them carrying baskets and bags, had her eyes wide and bright. "Hey, what all have you got?"
Ms. Niu tried to dig out what was inside their basket.
She saw so mushrooms and lon veins on top.
Wild roosters and rabbits were in the bag in Shao Taotao's hand, whilst Qiao Xuan was carrying two wrist-thick fig trees under her arms.
The three of them felt speechless as they saw Ms. Niu's behavior.
Shao Xiaoqi dodged her. "Hey, Second Aunt-in-law!"
Ms.Niu pursed her lips. "What are those seeds for? Why are you carrying them ho?"
"For food!" Qiao Xuan smiled and bragged. " The seeds look very fresh, they should taste good."
There were all kinds of wild plants in the mountains during this ti of the year and in this era. So Qiao Xuan loved to bring a lot ho every ti she went into the mountains.
Ms. Niu heard of this before.
So she did not suspect Qiao Xuan's words. She lost her interest instantly and rolled her eyes, complaining. "She, who is born nobly, has no idea what is worth the while and what is not."
Ms. Niu cribbed inwardly yet said, "So wild roosters and rabbits are in this bag, aren't they? You can hunt more wild animals for us, look at my grandson, he has lost so much weight!"
Qiao Xuan blinked. "But you have so many roosters at ho, you can feed them to your grandson too, right?"
