After packing up, Ruan Qingge and Huo Beiting took a bus back to town.

Go back to school in a few days to fill in the application form.

Huo Beiting's bicycle is left at school, so he can only bring part of his luggage this time, and will bring the rest when he comes to fill in his application form.

When we got to town, "Brother Beiting, do you want to put your stuff back home or take it to my place?"

Ruan Qingge felt that anywhere would be fine, and Huo Beiting didn't want to be separated from Ruan Qingge, so he took her to Tongxi Village.

After returning home, Huo Beiting helped clean up the house.

Throughout the spring and early summer, there were a lot of weeds in the yard. Ruan Fengshou hadn't sent anyone to clean them up this month, so Huo Beiting did it himself.

Ruan Qingge was cleaning the kitchen when she heard some noise in the house. Tieniu ran out and said, "Mother Pigeon, are you back?"

"Yes, Tieniu, you guys are on summer vacation too."

"Yeah, I'll go tell mom."

When Tieniu's mother came over, she brought a lot of things with her: "Pigeon, take these things and cook them."

"Sister-in-law, I bought some rice and meat when I came back. You don't have to be so polite."

But Tie Niu's mother insisted on giving it to him, saying that Ruan Qingge's paddy field was cultivated by their family.

Ruan Qingge did not collect rent from the land, nor did she ask for food. They just had to pay her share of the public grain.

This is truly a blessing for those who make a living from the land.

So Tie Niu’s mother is very grateful.

As soon as he knew Ruan Qingge had returned, he brought the things over.

Ruan Qingge had no choice but to accept it.

After Tie Niu's mother left, Ruan Qingge cleaned up the kitchen and fetched water to wipe the windowsill at home.

It took most of the day to clean up everything inside and out.

They just took care of it at noon, and in the afternoon, Ruan Qingge carried a backpack and went up the mountain with Huo Beiting.

She wanted to get some game.

Give Huo Beiting some good nourishment.

Huo Beiting carried a hatchet on his back, and the two of them went into the mountains along the mountain path.

There are many pheasants in the summer. It is already past the summer solstice now, otherwise there would be summer solstice mushrooms on the mountain.

The summer solstice mushroom, also known as the chicken mushroom, can be found on the mountains in June every year. It grows on termite nests. When the termite nests are abandoned, black ginseng will grow instead.

It had rained last night, and Ruan Qingge found a lot of wood ear mushrooms.

Put them all in the backpack.

Listening to the noises around, Ruan Qingge discovered the pheasant.

"Brother Beiting, is there any movement over there?"

Following Ruan Qingge's hand, Huo Beiting saw red feathers, it was a pheasant!

"Ruan Ruan, wait, I'll catch you."

Huo Beiting crouched over, found a stick, and when he got to the place, he quickly knocked down a pheasant with one stick.

The other few wanted to fly away, but Ruan Qingge came over and grabbed their wings.

The two harvested two pheasants.

The soil under his feet was a bit soft, so Ruan Qingge tried it and found that it was a termite nest.

But there are no termites on it, so it must be an abandoned nest.

Ruan Qingge tied the pheasant with a rope, put it away, and took out a hatchet to pry open the termite nest.

Two small black balls were found inside.

This is - Black Ginseng.

There is a folk saying that goes, "I would rather have one chicken mushroom egg than a hundred nests of chicken mushrooms." The chicken mushroom egg here refers to Panax notoginseng.

Ruan Qingge dug up the soil and took out the black ginseng, "Brother Beiting, look, chicken mushroom eggs!"

Huo Beiting: “It’s a good thing.”

The two men dug up the abandoned termite nest and found several more.

It's all good stuff.

It was a good deal going into the mountains today.

Come back fully loaded.

After returning home, Huo Beiting processed the pheasant, while Ruan Qingge washed and dried the black ginseng, wiped it with a clean cloth, put it in the basket, and then put it into the space.

It seems that she has to go to the mountain to dig up a termite nest and put it in the space when she has time. Then she will have endless summer solstice mushrooms to eat. After the termites migrate, black ginseng can also grow in the nest. It is perfect.

Just do it.

We'll go up the mountain tomorrow.

Ruan Qingge cooks, and Huo Beiting’s cooking skills are actually pretty good, but not as good as Ruan Qingge’s.

One pheasant is used for soup and the other is used for roasting. Huo Beiting can finish one by himself.

Wash the fungus and dry it in a winnowing basket.

Ruan Qingge cleaned up the guest room in her home.

Neither of them has any family left, so they will just have to support each other for the rest of their lives. Ruan Qingge believes that their days will get better and better.

The guest room was cozy and similar to her room, with the same decoration.

Ruan Qingge also picked some lavender wild flowers from behind the house and put them in a vase, which instantly brightened the atmosphere in the room.

The bed sheets are all brand new. Ruan Qingge would go to the house she bought to do handicrafts on weekends and saved up a lot of things.

After the room was cleaned up, Huo Beiting came out of the shower and saw the appearance of the room with tears in his eyes.

There is still someone in this world who is kind to him and gives him tenderness.

"Ruan Ruan, thank you."

Ruan Qingge turned around, looked at the moisture in the man's eyes, and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Brother Beiting, you don't have to be polite to me."

The girl's pretty face was imprinted in Huo Beiting's heart. He strode forward and for the first time, Huo Beiting took the initiative to hold Ruan Qingge in his arms.

Ruan Qingge sniffed a few times. Huo Beiting smelled very good and she liked it very much.

Clear and with a sense of security.

Huo Beiting was also attracted by the scent of Ruan Qingge and cherished it very much, so he was very cautious.

Ruan Qingge raised his head, his eyes sparkling: "Brother Beiting, have a good rest."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Huo Beiting on the cheek, then turned around with a smile.

Huo Beiting, who was attacked by surprise, felt very happy, which meant that Ruan Ruan liked him very much too.

He hopes that this joy will last forever, preferably a lifetime.

At night, Ruan Qingge fell into a deep sleep.

Several strangers appeared at the entrance of Tongxi Village.

In the neighboring Yuhe Village, Fu Shengnan discussed with his father Fu Laosan and decided to visit his mother Chen Jinlan in a few days.

Chen Jinlan was sentenced to five years in a labor camp in the neighboring county.

Fu Shengnan's brother, sister-in-law and their family separated from them and lived on their own. They felt ashamed to see Fu Shengnan.

His eldest brother even built a wall in the yard, dividing the yard into two halves.

Fu Laosan smiled bitterly, but this was his own fault, who should he blame? Who should he blame?

Not wanting to see Tong Sumin, Fu Laosan has been busy in the fields since Fu Shengnan came back. The rice needs to be harvested at the end of the month, and then the fields need to be cleared and rice seedlings planted. The double harvesting can be exhausting.

The eldest and second sons separated from the two old people, and the family land was divided up, and now everyone manages their own family.

They would rather cooperate with their neighbors to harvest rice than help him as a father. Fu Laosan was angry, but he couldn't vent it on his eldest and second sons, so he could only vent it on Fu Shengnan.

"Sheng Nan, I can't support this family any longer. Your mother won't be released for another five years. Even if she is released, our family will be criticized. You have to do your best. When you graduate and get a job, take us two old people over. Don't come back and suffer such cold stares."

This made Tong Sumin very unhappy. Why should the two old people live with Fu Shengnan in the future?

No!

She didn't want to live under the same roof with Chen Jinlan.

Fu Shengnan had already made up his mind: "Dad, bring your family savings and come with me to the capital. I will rent a house there, and you can let my eldest and second brothers take care of the family farm."

"Do you have money to rent a house?" Fu Laosan questioned.

Fu Shengnan was a little unhappy when this matter was mentioned. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, there is a place for you to stay when you get there."
