Eating melons

This time, the two of them brought all their equipment and went to the place introduced by Liu Aiying and Zhao Xing. This was the place where they dug wild vegetables in previous years.

However, this year, because of Wei Wei, Wu Mei and the other four people, the Zhang and Zhao families did not plan to go digging wild vegetables. They all put in their best efforts. The women and children picked up mountain products, while the men chopped firewood.

These are much more valuable than wild vegetables. If they get more, they can earn more money. There are not many such opportunities. If they don’t get more, the money will be earned by others.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, carrying baskets and sacks, turned left and right and finally found the place.

Looking at the endless wasteland at the foot of the mountain, with wild vegetables all over the ground, the two men could not hide their excitement in their eyes.

Wei Wei: "This place is really secluded, and there are so many wild vegetables. The last time we went there weren't many wild vegetables left. They had all been dug up. I didn't expect that no one has been here before."

Jiang Qi put down the backpack and said, "This should be the place where Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao dug their own digs in the past. They probably don't plan to dig this year, so they told us. We may not have such a good opportunity next year."

Wei Wei: "It doesn't matter if it's the same place they dug in previous years, as long as they don't dig this year, it's fine next year too. We'll have our own vegetables to sell next year.

Even if we need to go somewhere else to pick wild vegetables, we can still do that. We don’t go up the mountain to pick wild produce or chop firewood, so we have plenty of time.”

Jiang Qi: "That's right, the wild vegetables here are quite tender. We can pick them instead of digging them up. It's easier to clean them after we pick them.

We'll dig up the older ones. This place is close to the river, so we can wash them directly in the river. That's more convenient. I wonder if the system can take advantage of it. Washing wet vegetables is more weighty."

Hearing this, Wei Wei rolled her eyes and said, "Just try it and you'll know."

The two of them rarely raised their heads throughout the morning and kept working hard.

Pick the tender ones you find and put them in a basket. When you have a basket full, sell them.

They would dig up the old ones they found and put them in sacks, as they had plenty of sacks anyway.

It was almost twelve o'clock when the two of them stood up. They had been squatting for too long, and Wei Wei felt a little dizzy when she stood up suddenly.

Looking at the two full bags of wild vegetables around her, Wei Wei felt full of satisfaction. As for how many baskets she had sold, she had lost count.

Looking at Jiang Qi who was still working hard, he said, "Let's go wash these first! After washing, have lunch and then dig."

Jiang Qi also stopped when he heard this. "Okay, I have two sacks here. You can sell this half of the backpack first. I'll need the backpack to wash later!"

Jiang Qi: "Okay."

After selling the tender wild vegetables, the two men each dragged a sack and walked silently towards the river.

The two just felt very thirsty, but their hands were covered in mud, so they planned to go to the river to wash them and then drink water. Because they were too thirsty, neither of them spoke.

"Wu Yan, can you please stop looking for me? Please stay away from me. I beg you."

"Gao Yi, don't listen to those gossips. I don't care what others say. It's my own business, I don't care what others think!"

Hearing the sound coming from the woods above, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were stunned and looked at each other.

Oops! I disturbed the young couple’s date.

This piece of wasteland was at the foot of the mountain, with a small hill next to it and a river in front. Now the two of them were just about to turn the corner of the hill, which was covered with weeds, blocking their way.

However, there was a forest on the other side of the hill, and they couldn't see the people inside from below.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Qi whispered, "Go over there, where we won't be seen."

Jiang Qi nodded upon seeing this. There was a quarrel going on over there, so it would not be a good time for them to go over there. Besides, these wild vegetables would be sold after being washed, and they definitely couldn't sell them now that there were people there.

So it’s better to hide and wait until they leave before going over.

Just as the two of them hid, the sound from the other side came again, but this voice seemed very angry.

Gao Yi was furious at the man who didn't understand what he was saying. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I mean, stay away from me. Stay away from me, understand? There's nothing about me that's worth your calculations."

Wu Yan wasn't angry when she heard him say that. She just felt that he didn't believe there was still kindness in the world. "Don't worry, I'm not trying to scheme against you. Don't worry about what those gossipy women in the team say. Even if you have a bad background, so what? The great man said that everyone is equal.

Who knows what the future will hold? Things can change over time. Don’t despise the young because they are poor. Who knows if the future holds any weight?

Gao Yi's hands were shaking with anger when he heard these words. If these words were heard by others, who knows how much danger it would bring to his family.

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi stopped trying to unscrew the bottle caps.

Where did this idiot come from? Is he brainless? Is this how equality is used? As the saying goes, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west." Don't despise the young and poor. Is this saying appropriate here?

This person must be sick! From what she said, the boy named Gao Yi must not be a good person. She should not be pursuing Gao Yi but sending him to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures!
