Zhou Yue was eating pine nuts comfortably, and soon she noticed the children's hands.

Not only Xiaohu's hands are dark, but all the children's hands are like this without exception.

It doesn't look like ordinary dust, but more like some black oil.

Zhou Yue put down the pine nuts in her hand, asked softly with a gentle smile on her face.

"Why are your hands dirty? I'll take you to wash them later."

Xiaohu took a step forward carelessly and said nonchalantly.

"We went up the mountain to pick pine cones and pine nuts, so they turned black. This stuff can't be washed off with water, so this is the only way!"

As he spoke, Xiaohu raised his little black hand and shook it.

Zhou Yue became interested when she heard this and asked quickly.

"Wow! Can you get pine nuts in this mountain?"

Xiaohu pointed to the mountains and forests in the distance and said.

"Yes! There are many older pine trees on the mountain. The pine cones are big and numerous this year. The harvest is great!"

Zhou Yue had seen pine trees when he went up the mountain to hunt and collect mountain products before.

There are quite a lot of pine trees on this mountain. You can see one every few steps.

Zhou Yue had never paid attention to the pine cones on the pine trees. She didn't expect that there were such top-quality dry goods in the mountains.

After cracking the pine nuts in his hand, Zhou Yue continued to work in the base, and went back to cook dinner when the sun was about to set.

Today’s dinner is simple. I made a pot of rich mushroom soup with the mushrooms I harvested from the mountains last time.

Everyone at the table was drinking mushroom soup and eating steamed buns, enjoying it very much.

After Dong Kang finished the last mouthful of soup, he said to Uncle Dong next to him.

"Dad, why don't we go up the mountain to pick pine cones tomorrow!"

Uncle Dong nodded and agreed with a smile.

"Okay! But don't you dislike pine nuts? Why do you want to pick pine cones this year?"

Dong Kang smiled, scratched the back of his head and said.

"I don't really like it, but I see that Sister Zhou Yue likes it very much. Let's go to the mountain to get some. It won't take much effort anyway!"

When Zhou Yue heard this, her heart was suddenly filled with emotion and warmth.

She was eating pine nuts at the base today, but she didn't expect that Dong Kang would take it to heart after seeing it.

She had actually been in contact with Dong Kang for less than a month.

But Dong Kang treated her like his own sister and took everything to heart.

Most children of this generation are like this. They are very sensible at a young age and are especially grateful.

Zhou Yue's eyes were gentle and she said with a smile.

"Thank you, Xiaokang. We're going to play pine cones tomorrow. Can I come with us?"

"of course can!"

"Sister, I want to go too!"

"Hahaha, okay, Xing will come too!"

The next morning, the group went up the mountain with tools and a day's worth of dry food.

Not long after going up the mountain, I met many acquaintances from the village.

Dong Kang, carrying a backpack, greeted the villagers warmly.

"Aunt Guixiang, are you guys going up the mountain to pick pine cones today?"

Under a pine tree, there was a woman in her thirties or forties sitting on a small stool, busy with something with her hands.

Aunt Guixiang looked up and saw them, and greeted them with a smile.

"Xiaokang, are you also going up the mountain to pick pine cones? You can do it here, there are many more in this forest!"

When Zhou Yue approached, she saw a large bamboo basket in front of Aunt Guixiang, which was full of freshly picked pine cones.

Zhou Yue squatted beside the basket and exclaimed in surprise at the pine cones.

"Wow! This pine cone is so big!"
