    In this area of ????Jingzhou, there is a saying that the year of yin is the year of yang.

    Why are there divided into yin and yang years? Like almost everything about yin and yang, it is highly superstitious.  These yin and yang things have harmed our country for thousands of years, harming countless people from high-ranking officials and nobles to the ninth-five-year-old, down to ordinary people, let alone ordinary people.

    There is a year of yin and a year of yang. Winter bamboo shoots will not grow in the bamboo forest in a yin year. Of course, it is not 100% that they will not grow. It is just that the number of growth will be extremely rare and the size will be very small.  What we are talking about here is natural growth and has nothing to do with artificial cultivation.

    This year is a Yang year, and the rain is particularly abundant after the autumn harvest. It is a year when winter bamboo shoots are growing vigorously. If his father hadn't come up the mountain to shout, Mo Xiaofei, who was so busy that his feet would not touch the ground, would have forgotten it.  Winter bamboo shoots grow in bamboo forests. Although they are the same as spring bamboo shoots, they also grow from bamboo whips and are also bamboo shoots, but they are very different.

    Let¡¯s not mention the taste of the two, and let¡¯s not mention the size of the two.

    Spring bamboo shoots grow extremely fast, climbing upward step by step, and will eventually grow into bamboo.  Bamboo cannot grow from winter bamboo shoots.  To put it bluntly, the existence of winter bamboo shoots is to enrich the common people's cooking pots.  Winter bamboo shoots do not grow bamboos, and their growth rate is quite slow. As long as the tip of the bamboo shoots is exposed a little bit above the soil, it will resolutely stop growing upward, as if it knows how to grow upward.  Oneself will be exposed to wind and rain, snow and ice erosion, and will eventually be frozen to death.

    All winter bamboo shoots will eventually have a little tip exposed, and the exposed winter bamboo shoots are easy to find.  Anyone with a keen eye can find them, but unfortunately you cannot wait until this time. Reality does not allow you to wait, because most of the winter bamboo shoots will appear a few months after the beginning of spring, and will grow upward together with the spring bamboo shoots.

    The winter bamboo shoots at this time have the essence of winter bamboo shoots and the ambition and vitality of spring bamboo shoots. They will also grow upward desperately.  However, in the end, they will not grow more than one or two meters, or even a few centimeters or ten centimeters, before they die, and none of the winter bamboo shoots will eventually grow into bamboo.  So those dead bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest in spring.  Many people think they are spring bamboo shoots, but in fact they are mostly winter bamboo shoots.

    Precisely because it is not easy to wait for the winter bamboo shoots to appear, even if they wait until they appear, many of them are already old and hard, so the winter bamboo shoots are still completely buried in the soil.  The villagers will think of ways to dig it out.  But winter bamboo shoots are in the soil, so it¡¯s not easy to find them, so the technology for finding winter bamboo shoots came into play.

    "Sister Lian, please stop holding the hoe. Just help me carry the basket." As soon as Sister Lian heard that Mo Xiaofei was going to dig winter bamboo shoots, she immediately became very interested.  I also picked up a hoe and wanted to dig together.  Yue Meiliyue Jingying went back to the city a few days ago, and the girl was with the two birdmen.  They must be digging and spreading the soil. Last time, Mo Xiaofei burned the hilltop bare, but it saved them a lot of energy. Now they have already started digging the mountain.

    "Okay, let me help you carry the basket." Sister Lian put down the hoe and followed Mo Xiaofei and his father down the mountain.  The 'artificial respiration' that day and the 'three-light policy' in the cave that night made the relationship between the two a qualitative leap, especially Sister Lian, who had traditional ideas, and was basically locked in with Mo Xiaofei.

    Xiao Qinglan and Mo Dacheng also saw some signs, and they did not object. Although Sister Lian was much older than Mo Xiaofei, there was a saying in the countryside that "a female junior holds a gold brick".  It's a good thing that the woman is older. She knows how to care for others, take care of them, and run a household, right?

    Moreover, Sister Lian has a good look. She did not see her skin muscles tender, and she was not worse than her 17 -year -old sister paper.  Besides, what are Sister Lian¡¯s conditions? Whether it¡¯s appearance, figure, character, wealth or ability, are they not worthy of her son?  So for Sister Lian, Xiao Qinglan and Mo Dacheng had acquiesced, and let the two of them develop naturally. The two elders would not interfere, participate, or say anything, and they would be happy and free, just waiting to hold their big fat grandson.

    "Xiaofei, you look for the bamboo shoots, and I'll dig them up." When he came to the bamboo forest around his house, his father said to Mo Xiaofei.

    "Digging bamboo shoots is quite physically demanding. Dad, you can go and have a rest. Just leave the digging of bamboo shoots to me. I will take care of it and dig out tens of kilograms and hundreds of kilograms." Mo Xiaofei said considerately.

    "Haha, Xiaofei, your dad is not old yet, he can still dance with a hoe." The dad smiled and shook his head. His son's concern and thoughtfulness made him feel warm and comfortable in his heart. After all, what could he ask for from a father who raised a child like this?

    "Uh, okay, but we have to dig our own." The reason why Mo Xiaofei proposed that each of us dig his own is because his father's skills were not good and it would take him a long time to find a bamboo shoot, so he would be relieved.  too much.  If you find it yourself?He is digging, how tired he is Mo Xiaofei thought for a while, and then said, "Dad, why don't we have another game to see who digs more?"

    "Everyone digs what he wants. Let's forget about the competition. Your dad is not masochistic yet." Dad said with a smile. He knew that his skills in digging winter bamboo shoots were not good, especially with his son, a master among masters.  In comparison, I have been pushed aside by him countless times. Comparing with him is just looking for abuse.

    The father and son began to dig up winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

    "Xiao Fei, why didn't you go into the bamboo forest and instead ran outside?" Sister Lian followed Mo Xiaofei and watched her future father-in-law walk into the bamboo forest, while Mo Xiaofei ran towards the outside.  Just depressed.

    "Sister Lian, as soon as you say these words, I will know that you are a novice in digging winter bamboo shoots." Mo Xiaofei said arrogantly, but let alone, this guy is really talented in digging winter bamboo shoots.

    "What a newbie, I've never dug winter bamboo shoots before." Sister Lian was slightly annoyed, but when she said it, he asked her, why didn't she go into the bamboo forest and go to the outside instead?  "

    "Haha, I will accept you as my disciple today and teach you some experience in digging winter bamboo shoots." Mo Xiaofei felt very confident.

    "Who wants to become your teacher, you stinking beauty." Sister Lian despised him.

    "If you don't become a disciple, I won't teach you these experiences. These experiences are so precious. They are summarized by me based on more than ten kinds of exploration. It can be said that I have condensed my many years of hard work" Mo Xiao  Fei's words are not exaggerating. Where does experience come from if it's not a summary?  It's just that some people are talented and have higher understanding than ordinary people. They can become masters in a few years or more, while some people spend their entire lives still stuck at the second- or third-rate level.  Obviously, Feiguo is the former.

    "Are you going to tell me?" Sister Lian pointed out her slender finger, about to use her trump card.

    "Okay, okay, I said, I said it's not enough." When Mo Xiaofei saw her posture, he quickly surrendered. The guy cleared his throat and started talking, "Speak as a master of digging winter bamboo shoots."  , First of all, the first thing is not to be able to find bamboo shoots or dig them, but to be able to look at them"

    "You know how to read bamboo shoots? You haven't even dug out any bamboo shoots, how can you read them?" Sister Lian thought this guy was talking nonsense and couldn't help but interrupt.

    "Master, don't be impatient. Listen to Lao Na speak slowly." Mo Xiaofei clasped his hands together, with a solemn appearance and a serious look, which made Sister Lian giggle, "Well, tell me, sister  No rush." ??(To be continued)
