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

Starting from the foot of the mountain, many villagers were busy, some were chopping wood, and some were picking mountain products!

Shen Xiaoxia looked over and saw that they were all in groups, either whole families out, or people they knew making appointments to meet up!

When they reached halfway up the mountain, they came across a chestnut forest where many villagers were already busy.

Most of them wore wear-resistant coarse cloth clothes, holding long bamboo poles or long sticks in their hands, with backpacks and sacks placed beside them!

There were adults, children, men and women, and judging by their attire, they all came well prepared!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at them and said, "We've considered everything, but we didn't think of bringing a long pole or a long stick!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Hu Shixuan was the first to speak. "Let's look around to see if there are any long branches?"

Several people looked around separately. Shen Xiaoxia walked a few steps into the mountain. There was a bamboo pole in her space, which she had put in before and was prepared to use when picking mountain products!

He took it out secretly, pretending that he had picked it up, and rubbed it back and forth on the ground a lot, getting some dirt on it, and then went back!

When they returned to the place they were just now, Han Zhuxin, Zhao Lingling, He Tingyuan, and Zhao Fan were all back, leaving only Hu Shixuan and Xie Yunheng, who were probably still looking for them!

When they saw the bamboo pole in Shen Xiaoxia's hand, Zhao Lingling said in surprise, "Xia Xia, you actually picked up a bamboo pole?"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at what other people had in their hands. There were branches, thin tree trunks, and sticks. Although they were in strange shapes, they were still usable!

At this time, Xie Yunheng and Hu Shixuan also came back. Xie Yunheng also had a stick in his hand, and Hu Shixuan had a twisted branch in his hand!

Everyone looked at each other and gave Shen Xiaoxia a thumbs-up. "Yours is still the most reliable!"

Shen Xiaoxia covered her mouth and laughed!

The boys are still climbing the trees and the girls are picking up the trash below!

Among the few people, Hu Shixuan was the best at climbing trees. He was the first to walk to a chestnut tree. He hugged the trunk with both hands and kicked hard.

The rough bark rubbed against his palms, but he didn't care. The muscles in his arms bulged slightly due to the exertion.

After a while, he found a suitable branch and stood firmly. He waved his hand and asked Shen Xiaoxia to give him the bamboo pole. "Xia Xia, give me your bamboo pole. I'll hit the top one!"

Shen Xiaoxia walked up and handed him the bamboo pole in her hand!

Xie Yunheng was not to be outdone. He took a few running steps and, using the momentum, climbed up another chestnut tree in just three or two steps!

He Tingyuan and Zhao Fan also climbed up the tree. Seeing Zhao Lingling still standing under the tree, Shen Xiaoxia called out to her, "Lingling, let's stand further away, so the chestnuts don't fall and hit us!"

Pulling Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling a little further away, the boys started hitting chestnuts!

They grabbed the branches in one hand and waved the poles, sticks, etc. in the other!

As they knocked, the chestnuts fell down with a rustling sound!

While they were resting, Shen Xiaoxia and others came forward to pick up the fallen chestnuts and put them into backpacks or sacks!

The process was quite enjoyable, and it took an entire afternoon to knock and pick up the items.

The sacks and backpacks they brought were also full. As the sky gradually darkened, everyone decided to take a break today and continue working tomorrow!

I returned to the yard and piled the chestnuts under the eaves. If the weather is good tomorrow, I will dry these things in the sun first!

Shen Xiaoxia didn’t make dinner too complicated. She cut some meat, made stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and braised some eggplant!

After washing up, I found a variety show to kill time. It was a celebrity travel show. This season is said to be the best in the past few seasons!

After watching one episode, I thought about having to go into the mountains tomorrow, so I didn’t stay up late and went to bed!

Shen Xiaoxia was woken up by the noise outside. The noise was not loud, but she was just about to wake up.

I opened the door and looked out. It was the sound of Han Zhuxin dragging chestnuts into the yard. She was drying them.

Han Zhuxin heard the sound of the door opening and looked towards Shen Xiaoxia, "Are you awake? Did I disturb you?"

Shen Xiaoxia shook her head. "It's not a loud noise. It's almost time for me to wake up!"

Then he asked Han Zhuxin, "Why are you up so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Han Zhuxin spread out the chestnuts on the ground and said, "The porridge is cooking on the stove. I saw the sun coming out, so I thought I'd dry it out early and harvest it early!"

"Then I'll go wash up first and make some porridge. I'll come over to help you when I'm done!"

Shen Xiaoxia first went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook porridge. After the porridge was cooked, she simply washed up and then came out to work with Han Zhuxin!

Everyone got up one after another, and when they saw the two of them working, they came over to help!

After breakfast, a few of us made an appointment to go up the mountain together again. We planned to pick chestnuts today!

We found a chestnut forest not far from yesterday, and the division of labor was the same as yesterday: boys beat and girls picked up!

This busy work took another whole day, and the group picked chestnuts for a total of four days!

After picking the chestnuts, Shen Xiaoxia went to Aunt Guixiang's house. When she arrived, Aunt Guixiang and her family were also sorting out the mountain products picked from the mountain in the yard.

Seeing Shen Xiaoxia coming, Aunt Guixiang called her, "Little Shen, the educated youth, is here? Come and sit down."

Little Stone also shouted enthusiastically, "Sister Shen!"

Shen Xiaoxia gave him some fruit candies and asked him to share them with his brothers and sisters. Little Shitou happily took them and said, "Thank you, Sister Shen!"

Aunt Guixiang saw Shen Xiaoxia's actions and made a "hmm" sound, then said, "This saccharin is expensive, keep it for yourself!"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It's okay, there aren't many of them, just give them some to sweeten their mouths!"

Aunt Guixiang knew that Shen Xiaoxia must have something to say to her, so she asked her to sit down and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

If there is nothing important, Shen Xiaoxia rarely comes to see her!

Shen Xiaoxia didn't beat around the bush with Aunt Guixiang and spoke directly, "Aunt, it's like this, we want to go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms!

But you know, some mushrooms are edible, while others are not. Although I followed you to identify them last year, I'm still not sure. I was wondering if you could take us on another trip this year?"

Aunt Guixiang smiled and said, "Is that all? No problem, we have to pick them ourselves anyway, so you can just join us when the time comes!"

Shen Xiaoxia curled her lips towards Aunt Guixiang, "Thank you so much, Auntie!"

Aunt Guixiang looked at Shen Xiaoxia and waved her hand, "It's just a casual thing, how can it be worth thanking me for it?"

Xiao Shitou's mother, Sister-in-law Ahua, handed a glass of water to Shen Xiaoxia, "Little Shen, the educated youth, come here and have a drink of water!"

Shen Xiaoxia didn't expect that Sister Hua would pour her some water. She quickly stood up and took it, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

She took a few sips from the cup. She wasn't thirsty, but it would be rude of her not to drink the water that was poured out for her!

Aunt Guixiang asked Shen Xiaoxia, "Little Shen, when do you want to go mushroom picking?"

Shen Xiaoxia said, "Aunt, we can do it here. It depends on your time."

Aunt Guixiang thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's go tomorrow, is that okay?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Aunt, it's okay!"

After sitting and talking for a few more words, Shen Xiaoxia stood up and said goodbye!
