Chapter 84: Stocking up with one heart

Zhao Wanqing came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired. I'm in a daze."

Although Wen Xin was still a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that Wen Xin didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pick up chestnuts.

When I started working, my mind no longer kept thinking about the incident just now.

At noon, it was Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei who cooked the meal.

After the six people finished eating, they praised it as usual.

Zhang Yingying is very happy now and feels that her craft has made great progress.

After eating, Lin Dongze and Lin Bei carried the things back first, while the other four people continued to rest where they were.

"Oh, I'm so tired." Wen Xin sat on the ground, spread her hands and wailed.

Zhang Yingying stood while rubbing her waist and neck with her hands, "I feel like my neck is tingling when I lift it up."

Wang Yumei responded, "Yes, my neck is very sore as I keep lowering my head to pick it up."

Zhao Wanqing also massaged and said, "We can give each other a massage before going to bed at night. We have to work for several days."

"Yes. But seeing those things piled up in the yard makes me very happy. It feels like a sense of security to me." Wen Xin grinned.

"Hey, my dream last night was filled with the smell of roasted chestnuts." Zhang Yingying said with a smile.

The four of them chatted wildly and wildly.

When Lin Dongze and Lin Bei came back, the four of them were still chatting enthusiastically.

Lin Bei saw the excitement and joined in, "What are we talking about? Can I listen?"

"Yes. We are talking about the dreams we have had." Zhang Yingying said generously.

"Dream?" Lin Bei was a little confused, "What's there to talk about?"

Zhang Yingying said, "How interesting this is. Everyone dreams, and the content is different. This is what we are talking about."

"Oh," Lin Bei scratched his head, "I understand, so do you have any interesting dreams? One time I was so hungry during the day, and I dreamed of a plate of roast chicken in front of me at night. I immediately pounced on it and ate it. I woke up in pain. When I saw it, I was biting my own arm, which turned purple."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

The others laughed happily when they heard this.

Zhang Yingying stopped first and said, "You really treat yourself like a vegetable. I dreamed of roasting chestnuts last night."

"I dreamed before that I turned into a bird and flew away." Wen Xin also participated.

Lin Dongze and Zhao Wanqing were listening nearby, smiling but not saying anything.

Zhao Wanqing could clearly feel that Lin Dongze had been looking at her.

She was a little embarrassed and asked in a low voice, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Lin Dongze lowered his head and whispered, "You look good."

Zhao Wanqing's face and neck were really red now, and she couldn't speak.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Lin Dongze didn't continue to speak, for fear of making people anxious.

Fortunately, the other people were busy chatting and didn't notice anything was wrong between the two of them.

After chatting for a while, they sat down to rest. After all, I have to work in the afternoon.

Life is actually like this these days. There are mountains full of wild goods, and no one is willing to give up.

Sometimes when they return to the Educated Youth Courtyard in the afternoon, the educated youths in the front yard have not returned yet.

Everyone is working hard.

They were very energetic in the afternoon.

On the fourth day of work, that piece of chestnuts was finally picked.

When the inventory was taken, everyone had ten bags.

After they came back every night to finish their meal, they would chat and shuck them in the yard.

Pack the spiny shells separately and use them when making fire.

The peeled chestnuts are also packaged separately to be mailed or fried.

After picking the chestnuts, it’s walnuts.

It’s still the old method, knock all the walnuts off the tree and pack them again.

Because they are already mature, they are still easy to defeat.

After a few days of running-in, the six people have already reached a tacit understanding of their cooperation.

After working hard for a few days, I finished picking all the walnuts.

After walnuts, come hazelnuts.

For shorter places, they pick them by hand. From a higher place, shake the branches to let the hazelnuts fall, and then pick them up in the bag.

Hazelnuts are smaller and not as easy to pick up as chestnuts and walnuts.

But it's okay, there are many of them, and the speed is not slow.

There are not so many hazelnut trees compared to chestnut trees.

It was noon when the hazelnuts were completely picked. They carried the things back and planned to have a meal in the backyard of the educated youth. Rest for a while before heading up the mountain.

These days, no matter whether it is the villagers or the educated youth spots, there is no one around during the day.

Everyone was focused on picking fruits on the mountain, and they also brought food there at noon, for fear of wasting a little time.

Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing were cooking lunch, while Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei were clearing the table and pouring water.

The two boys just sat upright, not daring to move around.

The two of them fried eight dishes and plundered all the meat and vegetables they had saved before.

We didn't say any special words during the meal. We have worked together for so many days, and we have already said everything that needs to be said.

After eating, the two boys helped pack up, and after sitting for a while, they set off to go up the mountain.

When we went up the mountain this time, we met some villagers. The whole family was busy working on the mountain, including the children.

After saying hello, they continued walking.

When they arrived at their place, Lin Dongze said, "We have basically finished picking the trees in the front, and now we can go to the back. There are fruit trees, persimmon trees and plum trees in the back."

Wen Xin said, "Will it be put away soon after we pick it?"

Lin Bei continued, "It's definitely not good if it takes too long. We usually make it into persimmons and the like. We process it so that it can be kept longer."

"Okay, let's get started." Zhang Yingying was already gearing up and couldn't wait.

A few people went over and took a look. There were not many fruit trees, but every tree was very productive, and the branches were almost bent.

A few people took their backpacks and started picking.

They picked the persimmon tree in three days, and they also picked the plum tree in three days.

On the last day, they planned to hunt some game in the mountains and treat it as a picnic.

The main ones hunting were Lin Dongze and Lin Bei, while the other four people stood by to see if they could catch anything.

The place they were in was a little bit in the middle of the outer edge of the mountain, and there weren't many prey.

Because there are often people coming from the periphery, and if there were any, they would have been caught long ago.

I was standing there blankly, when suddenly something swished past my eyes.

Wen Xin whispered, "It's a rabbit."

But the speed was so fast that the other people didn't even see the shadow of the rabbit.

Wen Xin was a little disappointed, she didn't even react just now.

But unexpectedly, the rabbit that just ran away ran back again. I don't know if he didn't see the road in front of him, but he bumped into a big tree and fainted immediately.

Wen Xin quickly stepped forward and tied up the rabbit, fearing that it would wake up and run away again.
