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

Early the next morning, Han Zhuxin, Zhao Lingling and a group of people had breakfast, packed up, and waited at Shen Xiaoxia's door with their backpacks on their backs.

Shen Xiaoxia got up late this morning. She quickly packed herself up, locked the door, and then carried the backpack and went out with them to Aunt Guixiang's house!

When they arrived at Aunt Guixiang's house, she was busy in the yard. Shen Xiaoxia was the first to call out, "Auntie!"

Aunt Guixiang looked over and was stunned. She thought there were only Shen Xiaoxia, Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling. She was with the three of them last year.

Unexpectedly, those boys would also come this year. It was the first time for her to see all these people in the backyard of the Youth League Institute gathered together like this!

At first glance, she was quite pleasing to the eye. While she was in a daze, others also shouted to her, "Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, Auntie..."

……

After being surprised, Aunt Guixiang quickly adjusted her expression and smiled, "Good! Good! Good! All good, all good!"

She stood up and wiped her hands on the apron in front of her. "Come on, come in and sit for a while. I'll be done in a moment!"

I also wanted to go to the main room and move some stools out for them to sit on.

Shen Xiaoxia saw her intention and reached out to pull her, "Auntie, you don't have to greet us, we can just stand there for a while, you can go ahead and do your work!"

Others also said, "Yes, auntie, you go ahead and do your work!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Guixiang continued with the work in her hands. It was also in the final stages and would be done soon!

Little Stone, who was in the house, heard the noise outside and ran out. Seeing Shen Xiaoxia and her group, he was not afraid of strangers and called out crisply, "Sister Shen!"

Shen Xiaoxia looked over and raised the corner of her mouth, "Good morning, Little Stone!"

Little Stone ran over to them and asked, "Sister Shen, are all these brothers and sisters going into the mountains?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Yes! All the brothers and sisters are going!"

Upon hearing this, Little Stone looked at Aunt Guixiang and said, "Grandma, can I go with Sister Shen and the others today?"

Normally, the family didn't restrict Little Stone from doing anything. As long as he wasn't being naughty, they wouldn't stop him. So, they smiled and nodded, saying, "Then you should just follow us and don't run around!"

Little Stone nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I promise I won't run around!"

While she was talking, Aunt Guixiang had finished her work. She told Little Stone, "Little Stone, go to the back garden to see if your mother has finished her work. Tell her if she hasn't, come back after you come down from the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxia immediately said, "Auntie, you can wait until Sister-in-law Ahua is done with her work before coming back. We are not in a hurry!"

Aunt Guixiang said, "It's okay, those are just small tasks, there's no need to rush!"

So Shen Xiaoxia didn't say anything else. Xiao Shitou ran to the back garden to call her mother back. Aunt Guixiang, Sister Ahua, Xiao Shitou and Shen Xiaoxia and her group went into the mountains in a mighty manner!

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, a fresh breeze hit me in the face. The trees on the mountain were lush, tall and straight!

Looking into the distance, the mountains and forests look like a palette overturned by nature, with layers of colors!

The pine needles gleamed glossily in the sunlight, and the oak trees stretched out their thick branches, their leaves already dyed with mottled red and yellow!

Xie Yunheng hadn't gone mushroom picking with them last year, so he asked curiously, "Auntie, are there many mushrooms on this mountain?"

"There are plenty!" Aunt Guixiang replied with a smile. "We've just finished the autumn harvest, and it's the time when mushrooms are growing like crazy!"

As a group of people talked, they walked deeper into the forest. The sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, like broken gold scattered on the ground.

The air is filled with the fragrance of pine resin, and it is so quiet that the only sounds you can hear are your own footsteps and the occasional chirping of birds!

When they reached a spot where mushrooms grew, Aunt Guixiang said, "Everyone, spread out a bit, but don't go too far away. Pick any mushrooms you see, but remember, don't pick the brightly colored ones; they're probably poisonous!"

The group of people nodded and then dispersed. Shen Xiaoxia walked to a pine forest, which was densely covered with mushrooms. If she remembered correctly, these should be hazel mushrooms.

Picking up a handful at random, Shen Xiaoxia walked a few steps towards Aunt Guixiang, raised the mushroom in her hand and asked, "Aunt, look, this mushroom in my hand is a hazel mushroom, right? It's not poisonous, right?"

Aunt Guixiang looked towards Shen Xiaoxia. There was still some distance between them, so she couldn't see clearly. She waved her hand and asked Shen Xiaoxia to come closer.

After looking at the mushrooms in Shen Xiaoxia's hand, Aunt Guixiang nodded and said, "Yes, this is hazel mushroom. It's not poisonous and can be eaten!"

So Shen Xiaoxia went back and started picking!

Others also started picking those around them. Before encountering different varieties, they would ask Aunt Guixiang. It’s better to be careful with this stuff!

Seeing everyone's excitement, Aunt Guixiang shook her head in amusement. "Look at how happy you are! Picking mushrooms requires sharp eyes, quick hands, and patience!"

While picking mushrooms, I also share my experience!

Xie Yunheng held up a strange-looking mushroom and asked Aunt Guixiang, "Aunt, do you think this mushroom is edible?"

Aunt Guixiang took a look and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Oh, young educated youth Xie, you can't eat the mushroom in your hand!"

Then he said to everyone, "Look at this mushroom in the hands of young educated youth Xie. It's very poisonous. Remember, you must not take this kind of mushroom!"

Everyone nodded, indicating they had remembered. Aunt Guixiang was still worried and repeatedly reminded them, "Don't be attracted by those strange-looking or beautiful mushrooms. Most of them are poisonous! Eating poisonous mushrooms is no joke. It could be fatal!"

With the current medical conditions, eating poisonous mushrooms might really cost you your life!

Xie Yunheng quickly threw away the mushrooms in his hand and stopped trying to catch them. He only picked those that looked ordinary, just in case. He would also ask Aunt Guixiang!

Zhao Lingling happened to be picking mushrooms with Aunt Guixiang. She curiously asked Aunt Guixiang, "Auntie, how do you eat these mushrooms after you pick them?"

"There are so many ways to eat this!" Aunt Guixiang said with a smile, "You can stew it with chicken. The taste is so fragrant that it can make you swallow your tongue! You can also stir-fry it or use it to make soup. It's all very delicious! If you have the conditions, you can also use it to make a meat sauce. It's delicious when you eat it with steamed buns or mixed with noodles! And these things are dried and can be stored for a long time. When you want to eat them, you can just take them out and soak them. It's very convenient!"

Zhao Lingling picked mushrooms and nodded as she listened to Aunt Guixiang speak!

At noon, everyone went back to have lunch, and then continued to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms in the afternoon.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting. The temperature had dropped a lot compared to the last few days of autumn harvest, and it was still quite chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Aunt Guixiang looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late today. Let's go down the mountain early and come back tomorrow!"

Everyone looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting late, so they all nodded, carried their backpacks, and went down the mountain with a sense of reluctance to leave!
