Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

"Then wait for me, I want to dig some too." Liu Chunmei said, and hurried home to get tools.

Wei Yuchen stopped and waited there with the child.

Geng Changshuo had already introduced Liu Chunmei to her. She was an elementary school teacher, well-educated, gentle and virtuous. However, she had been married to Political Commissar Xu for more than ten years but they still had no children. It was said that the old lady had often talked about her.

But she was very strong-willed and would rather divorce Political Commissar Xu than endure the bullying of her mother-in-law.

Political Commissar Xu and Liu Chunmei were high school classmates. They had been together for a long time and were in love with each other, so naturally they did not want to divorce.

Political Commissar Xu's mother forced the two to divorce. Political Commissar Xu said that if he wanted to divorce himself, he could do so but he had to write a letter of severance first, and only then would he divorce his wife.

Naturally, the Xu family refused, and that's how Political Commissar Xu managed to preserve his marriage with Teacher Liu.

The couple have trusted and cared for each other for more than ten years, and they have never had a quarrel. The only regret they have is that they don't have children.

Liu Chunmei quickly came out with a backpack and a shovel. She smiled and said to Wei Yuchen, "I've been wanting to steam some wild vegetables for the past two days, but I kept forgetting. I heard you were going, so it's a good opportunity for you to go with me."

As he said that, he took out a few White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to Xiaosong and Xiaobai: "Children, these White Rabbit candies are for you to eat."

The two kids glanced at Wei Yuchen, who nodded and said, "Why don't you thank Aunt Liu quickly?"

The two kids took the candy and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Aunt Liu."

Liu Chunmei touched Xiao Bai's head and said, "What a good boy."

The two children thanked her and walked forward happily. Liu Chunmei looked at the two children's backs with tenderness in her eyes.

Wei Yuchen and Liu Chunmei arrived at the foot of the mountain. They were very happy to see the lush wild vegetables everywhere. They talked while digging wild vegetables and they were in perfect harmony.

"Xiao Wei, let me tell you, don't be fooled by the fact that there are only some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. In fact, there are many things on the mountain, especially in the deep mountains. There are all kinds of animals. When the soldiers in the army are very greedy, they will organize a dozen people to go up the mountain to hunt for prey and satisfy their hunger. Sometimes, some people go to the mountain to hunt rabbits or something..." Liu Chunmei introduced to Wei Yuchen.

"Are we not allowed to go up the mountain normally?" Wei Yuchen asked.

"You can go up the mountain at ordinary times, but there are some big animals there, so it's not safe, so people don't go. If you want to eat some wild vegetables, there are plenty at the foot of the mountain anyway," Liu Chunmei explained.

"Aren't the soldiers going too?" Wei Yuchen asked another question. Liu Chunmei answered patiently:

"It's hard to say. Sometimes soldiers go to the mountains for training. Sometimes they go to the mountains to carry out some tasks, but the family members in the family compound rarely go there."

Two adults were chatting while digging wild vegetables.

"Hey, this is wild chrysanthemum. You can go back and make it cold or stir-fry. It's delicious." Liu Chunmei introduced it to Wei Yuchen while digging, "You can also steam it. My husband likes steamed chrysanthemum the most. He has been talking to me about it these past two days. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come out today..."

Wei Yuchen could hear Liu Chunmei's love for her husband from her disdainful tone.

"This is thunder bamboo shoots. When eating, pinch off the tip. The sour bamboo shoots made from it are sour, spicy, crisp, delicious, and especially appetizing..." Zhang Chunmei dug a handful, showed it to Wei Yuchen, put it in the backpack, and then took two steps forward to dig grape dandelions...

The two walked and talked along the way, like old friends.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai were running around, laughing happily from time to time.

There was a private plot in the family compound, and few people picked wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, so there were all kinds of wild vegetables everywhere, including plantain, dandelion, small purple flowered gentian, water radish, etc. After a while, the two dug up a lot of wild vegetables.

When the sun set, the two of them took their children back home, still feeling a little reluctant to leave.

When Wei Yuchen returned home, she saw that Geng Changshuo had already prepared food for them, so she put the wild vegetables she had dug aside and led the children to wash their hands and eat.

Geng Changshuo saw that she went to pick wild vegetables as soon as she arrived, and knew that she wanted to go into the mountains to have a look. He then told her about his plans for the next few days:

"Tomorrow I will arrange my recent work schedule. The day after tomorrow I will take a day off to go to a nearby village to buy some urgently needed furniture. After I come back, I will accompany you to the mountain to have a look. Don't act on your own. This is not Weijia Village. The mountains here are bigger and higher than those there, and the danger is also greater."

Wei Yuchen disagreed in his heart, but did not say it out loud. Some things just need to be done and there is no need to talk about them. However, he was still touched by the man's attentiveness.

A few people were having dinner at home when there was a knock on the door. Just as Geng Changshuo was about to open the door, Wei Xiaosong ran over.

"Who is it?" the little kid asked in a soft voice.

"I'm Wang Fang." Someone answered from outside the door, "I came to see if there's anything I can help you with."

"Open the door quickly, you little brat." Geng Changshuo said to Xiaosong, and stood up, walked to the door, and welcomed the visitor into his home: "Director Wang, how come you have time to come here?"

"I'm here to take a look. To see how your house is being cleaned up. Do you need my help?" said the visitor.

"I've almost finished cleaning up," he turned around and called Wei Yuchen, "Wife, come here, this is Director Wang from the Family Committee, and Deputy Commander Zhang's lover."

"Hello, Director Wang. Thank you for your concern. We are almost done packing."

Wei Yuchen walked forward and greeted Director Wang. Geng Changshuo introduced Wei Yuchen to Director Wang: "Director Wang, this is my wife, Wei Yuchen."

Wang Fang nodded to Wei Yuchen, looked around, and saw that everything was almost done, so she said:

"You guys did a great job. If you have any problems in the future, just come to the Family Committee to find me. I'll be there when I'm free. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"I understand, Director Wang. Director Wang, go and get busy." Geng Changshuo said.

"Director Wang, please wait a moment." Wei Yuchen said, and then she went into the inner room and took out an oil-paper bag with some roasted chestnuts in it. She handed the oil-paper bag to Wang Fang and said, "Director Wang, these are some chestnuts that my mother roasted when I came here. Please try her cooking skills."

Wang Fang wanted to decline, but Wei Yuchen said:

"They are all picked up from the mountains. They are not good things. I just want to try something new." Then he continued. At the same time, he reminded Geng Changshuo:

"Xiao Geng, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Liu Tuan on your left and Xu Zhengwei on your right, you must maintain good relations with your neighbors, and you will have less trouble in the future."

Geng Changshuo and Wei Yuchen nodded repeatedly. These two people were the highest-ranking officials in this family compound. As long as these two people did not cause trouble for Geng Changshuo and his friends, Geng Changshuo could live happily.

Wang Fang saw that they were still eating, so she said goodbye. Before leaving, Wei Yuchen took out some sour jujube and sweet potato chips and gave them to Wang Fang.

This was also specially made by Ma Yulan, who said that she wanted Wei Yuchen to give it to someone else. It was not expensive and could help to bring them closer.

Wang Fang nodded secretly in her heart to Geng Changshuo, her daughter-in-law. She was sensible, knowledgeable, and knew when to act. She was not petty.

After the meal, Wei Yuchen took out some sour jujube and sweet potato chips from the oil paper bag he brought with him, divided them into two portions, and said to Geng Changshuo, "I'll give some to the neighbors on both sides so that they can have a taste. This is also a token of our appreciation for our new arrival. You stay home and look after the children."

Geng Changshuo nodded and reminded Wei Yuchen:

"Liu Tuan's wife is nice, and his two daughters are cute. But his mother seems a bit difficult to deal with.

You also met Liu Tuan's mother today. I have the feeling that she was not an easy person to meet. And Liu Tuan's nephew also doesn't seem to be a good person.

You should stay away from them in the future and be sure to keep your distance from them."
