Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented...
Chapter 9 Mushroom Soup
The boy looked at her with dissatisfaction, "Why, you look at me like you've seen a ghost."
Qin Qing immediately put on a smile.
"How could it be so beautiful!" Seeing that the boy seemed to be getting angry, he added, "Brother Liansheng, thank you for taking us to look for duck eggs this morning. They are really delicious."
Don’t hit someone who smiles at you!
Although the young man had a mean heart and bad mouth, he did take the trouble to find food for them, so it was not too much to thank him.
Although his original intention was not to take her out to find food, he also played a trick on her.
Looking at this skinny little body, Yang Liansheng felt a rare sense of guilt. He cleared his throat and spoke unnaturally.
"You and your brother can come here often in the future."
Isn’t this a typical sentence, I’ll protect you two.
The boy instantly grew to two meters tall in her eyes. What a hero!
Qin Qing was afraid that her words would cause trouble, so she smiled and nodded, her eyes shining as she looked at the boy.
Yang Liansheng looked at her with her messy hair like a chicken coop and the same mysterious smile as those female classmates. He suddenly felt a chill and regretted what he had just said.
The disdain in the boy's eyes was clearly visible.
Qin Qing couldn't help but asked awkwardly, "What's wrong?"
Yang Liansheng said casually, "You're a girl, how can you not comb your hair before going out? It's all messed up like a chicken coop!"
The corners of Qin Qing's mouth twitched, and he looked speechless.
She thought this place was remote and not many people were around.
Who knew that the boy would appear here quietly.
After a hasty farewell, Qin Qing quickly went down the mountain, feeling a little depressed. Why did she feel embarrassed every time she saw this handsome boy?
She lay on the bed weakly in a daze until Zhu Lihua came and she perked up. Zhu Lihua was so scared that she thought her daughter had caught a cold.
After Qin Qing's repeated assurances, she was convinced that her daughter was just in a bad mood. It seemed that she had to go to the county town as soon as possible, she thought secretly.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good and it rained heavily for two days in a row, preventing everyone from going out.
Qin Qing sat at home and watched the water drops from the eaves hit Xuan'er and fall into the front hall, splashing water. The streams of water gathered in an orderly manner and flowed out of the house. His two brothers were busy in the house, using pots, buckets and ladles to catch the rain leaking from the roof.
What a horrible rainy day!
A large ant with wings fluttered down to her feet and struggled to crawl. Qin Qing asked in surprise, "Mom, what is this?"
Zhu Lihua pulled the thread straight, letting the silver needle shuttle through the cloth, sewing her youngest son's cloth clothes stitch by stitch. Upon hearing this, she took a moment to glance at it and said gently, "These are flying ants. There are more of these things after a rainstorm."
After saying that, he looked at the sky worriedly, hoping it wouldn't rain.
If it rains any more, it will be flooded.
Seeing his daughter staring at the ant with half of its wings with great interest, he added, "It's a pity that we don't have chickens at home. Chickens would love this thing."
Qin Qing rushed into the house and took out a box with a lid. She put the ants with broken wings in it and found many more in the bamboo forest beside the house. She said to Zhu Lihua excitedly, "Mom, look, there are so many!"
Auntie Ga, who lived next door to them, was a very nice person. She had even given them some pickled cabbage. Qin Qing decided to feed all the flying ants to the chickens that Auntie Ga had just raised.
Fortunately, the rain stopped that night. At daybreak, Qin Qing was woken up by Zhu Lihua and went up the mountain with his two brothers to pick up soil and mushrooms.
Qin Qing was carrying a small backpack, while his father and brother were picking up soil not far away.
The so-called ground crust is the moss that grows on the rocks after a heavy rain. It is emerald green and translucent, and as soft as jelly. However, it is also very easy to be covered with mud and sand, so you have to choose it carefully.
The two elder brothers carefully took it off and put it in the basket. Not far away were people who got up early, enjoying the gifts of nature and racing against time.
After all, once the sun comes out, the ground will dry up or even disappear.
Qin Qing felt dizzy and dizzy after squatting for a while and then standing up. Seeing this, Zhu Lihua asked her to pick mushrooms to relax.
While no one was paying attention, she stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth and chewed it. The sweet and greasy syrup injected nutrition into her weak body.
Cheer up and start looking for mushrooms seriously.
Maybe I was not born for this. I searched for a long time but only found a few flowers in the basket.
The thin figure of the young man caught Qin Qing's eyes. Perhaps because of the force, the young man's face was slightly red, and even the redness extended to the base of his neck. It was not known whether it was the thin sweat or dew on his forehead that moistened the ends of his hair. He looked full of vigor and vitality. He seemed to be aware of something and looked over here.
His eyes were full of spring water, but there was a sense of alienation between his eyebrows and features. His facial features were sharp, and he looked handsome and cold, but when he saw an acquaintance, he quietly revealed a bit of childishness.
Qin Qing quickly ran forward to greet him.
