The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan went to the town with the village head on the old man's ox cart to handle the land deed transfer.

Xu, Lin's mother and Zhao Chunxi followed the others into the mountains. Today, without the two main forces, Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan, they followed them into the mountains regardless of the persuasion.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Lin Yunchu had no choice but to agree. He just told them to go slowly and asked everyone to take good care of them.

Xu smiled and waved her hands repeatedly, saying indifferently:

"Yun Chu, don't worry about us. We are used to working in the fields, so how could we not be able to do this? If Chang'an can do it, then we will have no problem at all."

Zhao Chunxi on the side also covered her mouth and laughed. She had long wanted to go into the mountains with them, so she could always contribute more.

Besides, Yun Chu is so capable and knows a lot, so she can learn a lot from him.

Now all the money the family earns is thanks to Lin Yunchu, and the whole family is well aware of this.

Because there were a few more people from the Xu family today, the group slowed down their pace, fearing that they would not be able to keep up.

After walking for more than half an hour, they began to find mushrooms. Although the Xu family members had never gone up the mountain with them, they helped pick mushrooms every day.

So he knew the quality of the mushrooms and could start picking them without anyone's guidance. He was quite quick and soon he had picked up half a basket full.

Lin Yunchu felt relieved after seeing this, so he turned to the other side and looked around to see if there were any mushrooms hidden under the dead leaves on the ground.

The mountains are rich in resources, and wild ginseng was dug up before. While picking mushrooms, Lin Yunchu observed whether there were other valuable things that could be taken to the town to sell.

It’s a pity that he only encountered wild ginseng that once. Yun Chu kept an eye out for it every time he entered the forest later, but he never encountered it again.

Over time, I came to realize that wild ginseng cannot be found all over the mountain. If it were, it would be like wild vegetables scattered everywhere and would not be worth much money.

Lin Yunchu laughed at himself and was about to turn around and go down the mountain with everyone else to pick up enough mushrooms as soon as possible.

With a quick glance, I saw that not far ahead, on a crooked tree, between the lush vines, there were fruits hanging in the air that looked like potatoes, with a light purple appearance.

Lin Yunchu didn't see it clearly, it seemed a bit like a wax gourd.

I think it’s almost time for wax gourd to ripen. When I was a kid, this was an indispensable fruit every summer.

The more Lin Yunchu thought about it, the more delighted he became. He pushed aside the grass in front of him, took a step forward and trotted forward, wanting to confirm whether the thing in front of him was really a wax gourd.

Lin Changting, who was behind, heard the sound of running. He looked up and saw Lin Yunchu running forward anxiously. He quickly shouted to her, "Yunchu, what's wrong? Run slower."

We're in the mountains now. What if I sprain my ankle while running so fast?

After saying that, he didn't even bother to pick up the mushroom he had just found in front of him, and quickly ran in the direction Lin Yunchu had just gone.

When the people nearby heard Lin Changting's voice, they all stopped what they were doing and quickly looked up and stood up.

Seeing Lin Changting also running forward, everyone didn't know what had happened and was suddenly shocked, fearing that something had happened to Lin Yunchu.

He quickly followed the two of them.

Lin Yunchu ran to the crooked tree he had just seen, looked up at the vines on the branches, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Lin Changting also caught up. Seeing Lin Yunchu's appearance, he looked up along her line of sight and saw that the crooked tree was covered with dense vines and wild fruits.

Seeing Lin Yunchu so surprised, could it be that this wild fruit is edible?

"Yun Chu, what is this? Can I eat it?"

Lin Yunchu couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing Lin Yunchu nod in agreement, Lin Changting immediately became happy. He quickly put down the basket on his back, rubbed his palms, and said to Lin Yunchu: "Okay, I'll go up and take it off for you."

The tree is not big, but the mountain road is uneven, so he should pick the fruits himself. He is not at ease letting Lin Yunchu climb up.

At this time, other people also rushed over, and according to what the two said, they also saw the fruits on the tree. Seeing that Lin Changting was about to climb up the tree to pick them, they thought they must taste good.

Lin Changan had already begun to imagine what this fruit tasted like, and he was drooling with greed. The wild fruits that Yunchu had picked when he went into the mountains before tasted very good, sour and sweet.

"Sister, what kind of fruit is this? Is it delicious?"

"This is called August melon. It tastes great, except for the fact that it has more seeds. I think most of them are ripe. We can eat them later when big brother picks them."

After Lin Yunchu finished speaking, he shouted to Lin Changting, who had already climbed up the tree, "Brother, pick the soft ones and the ones that have burst open. These are the ripe fruits."

They now often go into the mountains and pick the ripe ones to eat first, and the rest can be eaten later when they are ripe.

This wax gourd grows in the wild and tastes good only when it ripens naturally, especially when it is fried, it is particularly sweet.

After listening to Lin Yunchu's instructions, Lin Changting grinned and nodded, looked up and observed, and then picked the exploded fruits according to Lin Yunchu's instructions, touched them with his hands, and kept some hard and unripe ones for now.

"Brother, there's one hidden behind the leaves. It's so big. It must be very sweet when it explodes."

Lin Chang'an was more excited than anyone else. He stretched his neck and raised his head to look up at the tree, while telling Lin Changting where the fruits were.

Lin Yunchu took the fruit handed to him by Lin Changting, stood on tiptoe, and stretched out his hands to pick the fruits that were hanging lower.

In a short while, he picked a lot of fruits, about twenty of them. Lin Changting saw that there were indeed no ripe fruits, so he slid down the trunk.

Everyone gathered around the pile of fruits, looking delighted but not touching any of them. This was the first time they had seen such fruits and they didn't know how to eat them, so they all raised their heads and looked towards Lin Yunchu.

Looking at the eager eyes of the crowd, Lin Yunchu curled up the corners of his mouth, reached out and took a burst wax melon, broke it along the burst melon skin, and handed it to Lin Changan.

When Lin Changan saw that Lin Yunchu gave him the first fruit, he immediately grinned and took the wax melon from Lin Yunchu's hand and took a big bite.

When Lin Chang'an tasted the wax gourd, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was fragrant and sweet, so delicious. He had never eaten such a delicious wild fruit before.

"You can't eat this seed. You have to spit it out."

Fearing that Lin Changan might accidentally eat the seeds in the wax gourd, Lin Yunchu quickly said, "This fruit is delicious, but it has a lot of seeds. Everyone should try it."

After saying that, he picked up the wax melon on the ground and handed it to everyone.
