After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

After they chatted for a while, Zhao Qi asked, "Are you thirsty? Can I go get you some water?"

The three stopped her, "No, Sister Qi, stop working, we're not thirsty!"

Zhao Lingling hadn't seen Wu Ming for a long time, so she asked, "Sister Qi, where is Wu Ming?"

Zhao Qi smiled. "Him? He went up the mountain. Winter is long, and we'll probably need a lot of firewood this winter. He went up the mountain to chop firewood. He said he wanted to prepare some, just in case!"

Speaking of firewood, only Shen Xiaoxia had some in her space, but it was not enough for winter use. Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling usually prepared enough for a few days, and when it was almost used up, they would go to the foot of the mountain to pick up some more!

Zhao Lingling looked at Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin, then asked, "Shouldn't we start preparing firewood for the winter?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded. "Yes, I originally planned to go into the mountains after the food was distributed. Besides, the mountain products are ripe, so I have to pick some!"

Although Shen's mother wrote to tell her not to send it home, Shen Xiaoxia thought she would still send some as a token of her appreciation!

Han Zhuxin asked, "Should we collect mountain products first, or prepare firewood first?"

Shen Xiaoxia and Zhao Lingling said in unison, "Let's pick some mountain products first!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed. Zhao Lingling then said, "The firewood won't run away. If we don't pick the mountain products early, there might be nothing left later!"

After the autumn harvest every year, the mountain products mature one after another. They are quite abundant and will not be picked up so early. But I always feel that if I don’t go early, I won’t be able to get the good ones!

Han Zhuxin smiled broadly, "Well, Lingling is right! Then shall we go into the mountains tomorrow?"

Zhao Lingling nodded firmly, "Go in!"

Zhao Qi listened to the three people talking and said with a bit of envy, "I also want to go into the mountains, but Wu Ming is worried about me, so he told me to rest at home and leave everything to him!"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at her and said, "That's great! It means Wu Ming loves you! Just stay at home and take good care of yourself!"

Being pregnant, she must have suffered a lot during the autumn harvest!

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I'm not being so hypocritical. There are so many pregnant women working in the fields in the village. It's mainly because we're used to it. Seeing others busy, we can't sit idle!"

She and Wu Ming were not well off financially, and they could not rely on their families on either side, so they had to rely on themselves. Since she became pregnant, all the housework had been contracted out to Wu Ming because she had to go to work, including chopping wood, fetching water, washing clothes, cooking, and washing dishes. The most she could do was help with cleaning the house!

On the one hand, she was touched by Wu Ming's efforts, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for his hard work, and always wanted to help in any way she could!

Zhao Qi added, "Leave the firewood chopping to him. When it's time to collect mountain products, I'll definitely go up the mountain!"

She is not that heavy now, so she can at least lend a hand!

Shen Xiaoxia, Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling did not refute her words, but just told them to discuss it when the time comes!

They believe that Wu Ming will take good care of Zhao Qi!

When it was almost noon, Shen Xiaoxia and the others stood up and said goodbye, "Sister Qi, it's almost noon, we'll go back first. We'll come to see you next time!"

Zhao Qi pulled them over, wanting them to have lunch at her place. They had brought gifts with them, so she should at least let them have a meal. "Why don't you stay here for lunch? I won't prepare anything special for you, just a simple meal together!"

None of the three of them thought about eating here. Han Zhuxin said, "No, Sister Qi, we can just go back and eat!"

Shen Xiaoxia also spoke, "Yes, Sister Qi, no need to trouble you!"

Zhao Lingling took Zhao Qi's arm and said, "Sister Qi, let's not be so formal with each other. If I come here every day, will I eat for free every day?"

Zhao Qi looked at her and said with a smile, "Come here, I'll let you eat for free every day!"

Zhao Lingling said, "Forget it, if you're willing, I'm still embarrassed. I'm shy!"

Everyone else laughed when this was said!

The three insisted, so Zhao Qi gave in. He stood up and escorted them out of the yard. "If you have nothing to do, come over to my house and play!"

Zhao Lingling also said, "Sister Qi, you haven't been back to the Youth Hostel for a long time, right? If you're bored, come and play with us!"

Zhao Qi agreed with a smile. Not long after Shen Xiaoxia and the others walked out of the yard, they met Wu Ming who was coming back carrying firewood.

Wu Ming looked at the direction the three of them were walking from and asked with a smile, "From my house?"

The three of them nodded, and Wu Ming said, "Why didn't you stay for dinner?"

Han Zhuxin said, "It's only a few steps away. It's the same if we go back and eat!"

After chatting for a few more words, they dispersed and the three of them returned to the Youth League Home!

After lunch, when Shen Xiaoxia was still cleaning the kitchen, Zhao Lingling came to find her and said, "Xia Xia, don't wait until tomorrow, let's go into the mountains this afternoon, okay?"

Shen Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows. So positive?

"I can do it, why don't you ask others?"

Zhao Lingling said, "I'll go ask," and ran away!

Everyone had nothing to do in the afternoon, so when Zhao Lingling asked, everyone agreed!

He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng were drafted last year, and this year they plan to go into the mountains with everyone to pick some. They don’t have to send food home, they just need to pick enough for themselves!

Hu Shixuan was rarely at home, and was also called by several people!

Qi Yue's door was locked, and she had been going in and out with the people in the front yard all this time!

Everyone carried backpacks and sacks and went up the mountain!

A group of people were walking on the road. Zhao Lingling's voice was filled with excitement. "What should we pick first? Mushrooms? I want to eat fresh mushrooms. They are so delicious!"

Shen Xiaoxia was a little silent for a moment. Last year, she asked Aunt Guixiang to accompany her when picking mushrooms. She was experienced and could tell whether the mushrooms were edible or not, and whether they were poisonous or not!

While picking, if you come across someone you don’t know, you can ask her!

Are these amateurs going mushroom picking this year? It's probably quite risky!

Although she didn't want to dampen Zhao Lingling's enthusiasm, for the sake of her life, Shen Xiaoxia still asked, "Lingling? Tell me the truth, do you know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not?"

Zhao Lingling was stunned by this and exclaimed, "Ah~," then said, "Yeah! I hadn't thought of that!"

Then he asked everyone, "Can anyone identify it?"

Everyone shook their heads. Even if Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin knew each other a little, they couldn't guarantee it 100%. There were too many mushrooms that looked similar, so it was better for them not to take any risks!

Zhao Lingling sighed, "Looks like I'll have to wait a little longer if I want to eat fresh mushrooms!"

She looked at Shen Xiaoxia, "Xia Xia, the aunt who took us mushroom picking last year is quite familiar with you. Why don't you go ask her tomorrow to see if she can take us on another trip this year?"

Shen Xiaoxia thought so too. The only aunt she knew well in the village was Aunt Guixiang. "Well, I'll go to her house and ask her when the time comes!"

Han Zhuxin looked at everyone and said, "Shall we go pick chestnuts first?"

Zhao Lingling immediately agreed, "Sure, sure, chestnuts are delicious too, but they're too much trouble to eat!"

A group of people went into the mountains talking and laughing!
