Chapter 274: This is not how you pick up chestnuts, and you encounter a snake when you go down the mountain

"No, no, I can just pick it up myself."

"I've finished picking it up."

After Wang Jiajia heard Shi Qinghuan's words, she immediately looked at Shi Qinghuan with surprised eyes, and then asked Shi Qinghuan, "Have you really finished picking it up?"

"Of course, look at it if you don't believe me." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, she carried her backpack to Wang Jiajia.

After Wang Jiajia glanced at the basket Shi Qinghuan brought over, she understood why Shi Qinghuan picked up the chestnuts so quickly, so she said to Shi Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, you didn't pick up the chestnuts like this."

"How else can I pick it up if I don't pick it up like this?"

"Of course half the burrs are removed and half the burrs are left. If you don't believe me, go and look at the chestnuts picked up by other people to see if they are like what I said."

After Shi Qinghuan heard Wang Jiajia's words, he looked at the baskets of others and saw that the chestnuts in their baskets were indeed as Wang Jiajia said, half with burrs removed and half with burrs left on.

But why do they do it?

In line with the principle of asking if you don't understand, Shi Qinghuan asked Wang Jiajia directly: "Jiajia, why are you doing this?"

"I don't know, that's what adults taught us, and we just keep doing it."

"You didn't ask why?"

"I asked, and they answered me the same way."

Shi Qinghuan was speechless after listening to Wang Jiajia's words, but she still decided to follow the crowd, so she poured a third of the chestnuts in the basket out and began to deburr them.

After she removed the burrs from the chestnuts, she found that there were as many chestnuts in her basket as there were in Wang Jiajia's baskets, so she started her journey of picking chestnuts again.

More than an hour later, Wang Jiajia saw that her basket was almost full, and Zhang Yiyi's baskets were also almost full, so she asked Shi Qinghuan who was farthest away from her: "Huanhuan, have you picked up the chestnuts?" ?”

"Picked up."

"Then let's go down the mountain."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he picked up his backpack and walked towards Wang Jiajia.

When she walked to Wang Jiajia, she saw that the top of Wang Jiajia's backpack was full of chestnuts with burrs. It seemed that Wang Jiajia was a child who knew how to hide her clumsiness. She knew how to put chestnuts with burrs removed under the basket so that others could avoid it. I don’t know how many chestnuts she picked up.

"What's wrong?" Wang Jiajia asked Shi Qinghuan when she saw Shi Qinghuan staring at her backpack.

"It's okay, where's the chicken?"

"I put it at the bottom of the backpack."

"Didn't you pick up a lot less chestnuts?"

"No, I still picked up the same amount, because there are fewer chestnuts with burrs in the chestnuts I picked up, which leaves room for the chickens."

After listening to Wang Jiajia's words, Shi Qinghuan gave Wang Jiajia a thumbs up, and then said, "Let's go down the mountain."

Wang Jiajia nodded after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, and then she and Shi Qinghuan walked down the mountain.

As for Zhang Yiyi, they had already left a step ahead, so naturally they didn't have to wait for them.

"Ah...snake, there is a snake."

When she was almost at the foot of the mountain, Shi Qinghuan heard a loud scream, so she immediately took off her backpack and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

When she ran to the foot of the mountain, she saw Zhang Yiyi looking at the snake lying at her feet with a horrified expression, so she immediately said to Zhang Yiyi: "Don't move."

Zhang Yiyi nodded quickly after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, and then she cast a look at Shi Qinghuan asking for help.
