It rained heavily for three days in a row. Shui Bingyue waited for the weather to clear up completely, then went up to the mountain with Li Jiaojiao to pick mushrooms.
After all, after October, the mushrooms will become old and unpalatable. This is the last chance to pick mushrooms.
The two little girls used to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. They knew that there was a forest full of dead trees. In addition to fungus, mushrooms are also easy to grow on the dead trees.
The two of them found the place first, and as they expected, they found a lot of mushrooms.
Li Jiaojiao was extremely happy: "Bingyue, I always find good things every time I go out with you."
"That's not the case, it's just that we chose the time better. Mushrooms only grow faster when it rains."
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and hurry up and pick mushrooms. I feel like I can fill up the small backpack very quickly. We may have to make a few more trips."
Shui Bingyue nodded, and the two of them split up. After all, this is a pine forest with pine umbrellas growing inside.
This variety of mushrooms is very popular and the price is much higher than other mushrooms. So the two little girls are doing their best to pick. Their small backpacks were filled in half an hour.
Li Jiaojiao and Shui Bingyue discussed: "You come back to my house with me first. We can carry two big baskets out and start picking. It should be almost done. Then let my dad help you take it home, okay?"
"Okay, just do as you say."
The two little girls quickly went down the mountain, put the small baskets at Li's house, carried the big baskets on their backs and went up the mountain. They finally finished picking the mushrooms before noon.
Unfortunately, Li Jiaojiao is weak and cannot carry it. Shui Bingyue not only carried her own, but also helped her carry her own, and the two of them went down the mountain together.
Li Jiaojiao's parents wanted to keep Shui Bingyue at home for dinner, but she refused: "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, I promised my mother to go home for dinner. I won't bother you here."
"Then I'll take you back." Uncle Li said.
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Li."
"No trouble."
The two adults carried a large basket and the child carried a small basket, and walked to Shui's house together.
Uncle Li said with emotion: "This big basket of mushrooms feels heavy when I carry it on my back. How did you and Jiaojiao carry two big baskets of mushrooms down the mountain?"
Don't do this next time. If you are too tired and don't grow taller, you will lose more than you gain. After all, girls also look better when they are taller. "
"I know. Maybe we were all focused on transporting things down the mountain at that time and didn't think too much about it. I feel a little tired now, otherwise I wouldn't have troubled Uncle Li to help me bring it back."
Shui Bingyue said politely, after all, although she was very strong, she still wanted to save effort.
"You and Jiaojiao are good friends. Although she is two years older than you, you are always taking care of her.
Jiaojiao has no brothers, and others only want to bully her. I also want to thank you for being willing to play with her. "Uncle Li's rough face was full of sincere gratitude.
He was telling the truth. In rural areas, having more children means more happiness. If a family has only one daughter, it means it is a destitute family, and everyone wants to step on it.
Children are also very snobby. Seeing how well Li Jiaojiao and Shui Bingyue play, they don't dare to bully her often.
Soon the two of them arrived at Shui's house. Liu Xuemei heard a knock on the door and came over to open the door and quickly welcomed them in.
She greeted warmly: "Qinghua, please make a trip. Why don't you stay here for lunch."
Li Qinghua waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, sister-in-law. The food has been prepared at home. It was Bingyue who didn't want to stay with us, so I helped bring her things back."
After saying that, she was about to walk out the door. Liu Xuemei hurriedly sent the person to the door. He turned to look at his daughter and nodded her head: "Girl, why are you picking so many mushrooms? Does our family lack your money?"
"That's not true. If my mother and grandma didn't force me to learn embroidery, I wouldn't have run to the mountains. I really don't want to learn it, and I can't learn it.
I studied for a long time yesterday afternoon and pierced dozens of holes in my hands. Doesn’t my mother feel sorry for me at all? "
Liu Xuemei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Forget it, times are different now. As long as you have money, you can't buy anything. I won't force you anymore, lunch is ready. Let's eat together quickly."
Shui Bingyue finished her meal with peace of mind, then began to find something to place her mushrooms on, spread them on the ground, and dried them in the sun.
Because dried mushrooms command a higher price and are easier to store. Even if you can't sell it, you can still eat it at home.
During the drying process, she picked out the damaged ones and ate them directly at night. After all, good things should be enjoyed, and you couldn't exchange them all for money. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Xiao Bokang is now at an active age, and he happily comes over to help his sister-in-law. Liu Xuemei found it very interesting to see the two little ones busy.
Shui Bingyue often goes to the mountains, not just for money. By running around like this, she can improve her physical strength.
Every time when the energy is almost exhausted, when sleeping at night, the spiritual energy will increase faster, which is a bit similar to the feeling of emptying, absorbing, and compressing.
My previous ability was only enough to make idle cards for my brothers who worked outside. After this train explosives incident, Shui Bingyue felt that every brother needed him.
So she has been improving her spiritual power. She wants to make the "Nothing" card for the remaining four brothers as soon as possible. After all, the seven brothers are the same in her heart, and she cannot favor one over the other.
Although Seventh Brother didn't say anything, he was definitely envious. After all, every time I gave something to someone before, everyone had it, and they wouldn’t say that they gave it to this and not that.
Alas, there are too many brothers who have happy moments and troubled moments. After all, everything suffers not from scarcity but from inequality.
A few days later, Shui Shangqing received a call from Shui Construction at the village committee, telling him the good news: "Dad, I have been selected to make a movie. It will take at least three months, and I will not have time to go home. "
"Is that so? What kind of subject is it? Is it dangerous? I remember reading in the newspaper that those who make war movies use real explosives, which is very dangerous."
"It's a spy movie. There are no explosion scenes. Don't worry, dad. I bought some things to send home. I think they should be home in a few days."
"You, just take care of yourself. Don't be reluctant to eat or wear clothes." Shui Shangqing was afraid that his fourth son was too family-oriented and frugal.
After all, his salary is neither low nor high, but the things he sends home are not cheap every time. Especially willing to buy it for Bingyue. No wonder Bingyue followed him in everything when she was at home.
Shui Jianshe was very happy after hearing this: "My father never said so many things to me at home before. I am very happy that my father cares about me so much."
"You are also daddy's baby. How could dad not feel sorry for you?"
