Han Zhuxin, Zhao Lingling, Zhao Fan, He Tingyuan, and Xie Yunheng made an appointment to go to the county town.

Shen Xiaoxia had just been there and didn't go this time. She wanted to continue following Aunt Guixiang to pick other mountain products.

After Shen Xiaoxia finished her breakfast, she carried her backpack to Aunt Guixiang's house. When Xiao Shitou saw her, he greeted her happily, "Sister Shen, you're here?"

Shen Xiaoxia: "Little Stone, good morning!"

Today, Aunt Guixiang and her eldest daughter-in-law went together. When Xiao Shitou saw his grandmother, mother, and Sister Shen all going, he also said he wanted to go up the mountain.

His mother teased him, "Aren't you going to play with your friends?"

Little Stone hugged his mother's arm and acted coquettishly, "I'll go play with them after I come back."

Aunt Guixiang and Sister Ahua did not reject him. Many children of his age in the village ran around the mountains on their own.

The two aunts who were with us before didn't come today, so there were only Aunt Guixiang, Aunt Ahua, Xiao Shitou and Shen Xiaoxia together.

Walking into the forest, the fresh air, the singing of birds and the rustling of leaves all made Shen Xiaoxia feel very happy.

Little Stone was holding Shen Xiaoxia's hand and jumping around, obviously in a good mood.

Shen Xiaoxia secretly stuffed a piece of fruit candy into his mouth, raised her index finger and made a soft "hush" sound, indicating that he should eat it secretly and not tell anyone.

Little Shitou quickly covered his mouth, blinked his big eyes, and nodded continuously to show that he understood. He wouldn't tell anyone else, not even his mother!

Hazelnut trees are very common on the hillside. The trees are not very tall, but they are very lush. Many villagers around are picking them.

Shen Xiaoxia walked closer, looked at the hazelnut tree in front of her, reached out and picked a hazelnut hidden in the bracts, gently pinched it with her hand to feel it, and it was quite hard.

I put down the backpack and followed Aunt Guixiang's example. I picked up a wooden stick from the nearby area and gently tapped the branches of the hazelnut tree. The ripe hazelnuts would fall down.

Shen Xiaoxia knocked for a while, then squatted down to pick up some. The hazelnuts were brown, with a slightly rough shell. They were small and looked quite cute.

Perhaps wanting to repay Shen Xiaoxia for the candy, Xiao Shitou followed Shen Xiaoxia and helped her pick hazelnuts.

Aunt Guixiang and Sister Ahua watched and did not stop them. They smiled and praised them a few times.

At noon, they sent back a basket, had a simple lunch, and then went back to picking hazelnuts.

During the process, I met familiar aunts and sisters-in-law and chatted with them.

Of course, it was Aunt Guixiang and Sister Ahua who were chatting with them, and Shen Xiaoxia was the one who listened most of the time.

Only occasionally responding with a "Really?"

"and then?"

"So that's it!"

"Wow, Auntie, you know so much!"

……

Apart from anything else, the emotional value is absolutely maximum!

Seeing that Shen Xiaoxia was so supportive, everyone didn't spoil her fun and told her a lot of interesting things in the village. Shen Xiaoxia was picking hazelnuts and eating melons, looking so happy.

Before they knew it, the sun had already set and everyone's backpacks were full. It was time to go back. Shen Xiaoxia saw that the aunts looked reluctant to leave, and she hadn't heard enough!

When we returned to the Youth League Home, everyone who had gone to the county town had returned.

He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng had no shortage of money or tickets, so they bought a lot of food and daily necessities.

Zhao Fan and Zhao Lingling, brother and sister, also bought a lot of things.

Han Zhuxin has sold several pieces of clothing during this period, and the demand is far exceeding the supply. However, she only has two hands and cannot produce in bulk.

I also got a lot of wool and defective cloth through Chen Tian.

Han Zhuxin asked Shen Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, are you going up the mountain tomorrow?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded and said, "Yes, I want to pick more mountain products and send some back home later."

Han Zhuxin also plans to go tomorrow to pick more mountain products and let her cousin take them to the south to sell.

My little cousin, who was worried at first, is now doing it with great enthusiasm after trying it a few times and tasting the benefits.

Han Zhuxin asked him to strike a balance and ensure his own safety.

……

After picking hazelnuts for a few days, we had a good harvest and were eager to go pick chestnuts.

In the Youth League Home, only He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng stayed at home every day, while everyone else went to the mountains every day.

One group in the front yard and another group of people in the back yard.

Hu Shixuan is an exception. He is often not in the Youth League Home.

He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng were idle, so Han Zhuxin drafted them into service. The price they paid was to knit a winter sweater for each of them. They provided the yarn, and Han Zhuxin provided the skills.

So, on the day of picking chestnuts, the two of them followed everyone up the mountain.

Picking chestnuts is not an easy task. The chestnut trees are quite tall, so the villagers have to climb up the trees and then use long bamboo poles to hit the branches to knock the chestnuts down.

The girls didn't dare to climb up, so the task of climbing the tree was given to He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng and Zhao Fan.

They continued to fight, and when they finished and took a break, Shen Xiaoxia, Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling went to pick up the items.

When they were fighting, they didn't dare to move forward.

Chestnuts are covered with a shell full of sharp thorns. If they hit your head or body, it will definitely hurt.

No one dared to pick them up directly. If they got poked, it would really hurt!

They all use two sticks to pick up the chestnuts and put them into the backpack like picking up vegetables.

Fortunately, the backpack is solid and has no gaps, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to carry it on my back.

After picking chestnuts for two days, we were lucky enough to come across a jujube tree. Several of us worked together to pick all the jujubes on the tree.

I wandered around the mountain for another three or four days and picked a lot of other things.

After working like this for ten days, Shen Xiaoxia ended her journey of collecting mountain products.

Shen Xiaoxia didn't feel tired, but rather excited.

The next step is to dry the mountain products in the yard.

Now that I don’t have to go to work and the weather has become cooler, I have to wear a thin coat in the morning and evening.

It seems that winter will be here soon.

The three girls moved their small stools to the door and sat down to work, as the light outside was better.

Han Zhuxin was knitting the sweaters she promised to He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng, and Zhao Lingling was also preparing winter clothes for her and her brother.

Shen Xiaoxia also took out her wool and learned to knit sweaters. She watched instructional videos in her space at night and practiced during the day.

If you really don’t understand, ask Han Zhuxin.

It's much faster than her just watching videos and studying blindly.

Shen Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh, she was worthy of being the one holding the female lead's script, she was definitely clever and dexterous.

When the mountain products were almost dried, a few people went to the team to exchange them for a few sacks.

The mountain products were packed and piled in the room.

Shen Xiaoxia packed a large package for the items to be sent back.

I'll go to the county town in two days and send the mountain products out.

My eyes hurt from knitting these days!

After lunch that day, Shen Xiaoxia planned to take a walk in the mountains.

These days, there are not as many villagers on the mountain as before. Along the way, I only met a few people at the foot of the mountain.
