Qin Ling no longer went out to work to earn money, but he did not give up the idea of ​​helping his mother share the pressure.

In autumn and winter, fruits and mushrooms from the mountains can be picked and sold.

If you are lucky, you can hunt some rabbits and pheasants, which can not only be sold for money but also improve your food.

For several days in a row, Qin Ling took Qin Li into the mountains after school.

There was less work to do in the fields in early winter, so the women in the village would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables when they had nothing to do. After they had picked all the vegetables at the foot of the mountain, Qin Ling took Qin Li deep into the mountains.

I would go home after dark every time I picked mushrooms. Over the course of a few days, I had picked two baskets of mushrooms and a basket of wild chestnuts.

Feng Jingrou made several dishes with mushrooms. She spread the leftovers out in the sun to dry them. When she had enough, she asked Qin Ling to take them to the market to sell.

She went to the village chief's house to borrow a big pot, mixed it with yellow sand, poured a whole basket of chestnuts into it, and stir-fried it over low heat.

The yellow sand is heated, distributing the heat evenly to each chestnut, drying the shells. The chestnuts burst open one by one, revealing the fragrant chestnut meat inside.

Chestnuts are best eaten while hot. After they cool down a little, call the children over to eat.

Qin Ling was reluctant to eat the first chestnut he peeled, so he put it into Qin Anan's mouth first.

【Wow! It’s delicious!】

Although the chestnuts are not as big as those sold in shopping malls in later generations, the wild chestnuts grown naturally have a natural aroma that cannot be compared with the cultivated chestnuts in later generations.

【Delicious, delicious! 】

Qin Anan's eyes curved with fragrance.

In this era, there is no air conditioning, no computers, and no colorful entertainment life, but it doesn’t matter, she has everything in her space. Coupled with this era’s natural food without additives, fresh air, and unpolluted water, life is simply perfect!

Qin Anan was enjoying her meal, her legs swaying under her rosewood chair, and she began to want to go pick fruits in the wild.

It must be fun, right?!

"Brother, take me with you next time you go into the mountains! An'an wants to go too!" Qin An'an looked at Qin Ling, her eyes sparkling. Although she couldn't speak, she wished her brother could empathize with her and understand her heart!

Feng Jingrou, who was working, objected subconsciously: "No!"

The mountains are too dangerous for a baby!

Qin Anan was stunned: [No? What's wrong?]

[Aw, Mom is not talking to me, right? ]

She looked at Feng Jingrou in shock.

Qin Ling: Oh no, Mom is going to be exposed.

In order to divert An An's attention, he quickly peeled another chestnut and stuffed it into Qin An An's mouth.

Qin Anan forgot to chew and stared at her mother intently. The chestnuts made her cheeks bulge out, like a cute little hamster.

Qin Ling: Okay, the diversion plan failed.

Mom, what should I do?

Feng Jingrou didn't want to be exposed either, so she blinked and turned to Qin Li and said, "Xiao Li, why are you still eating? Did you hear my answer?"

Qin Li was inexplicably called out and looked completely bewildered.

Feng Jingrou coughed dryly twice. "Didn't you just ask me if I could eat all these chestnuts? I said 'no'. I have to leave some for your third grandmother's house."

Feng Jingrou mobilized all her acting skills and finally fooled her cunning little daughter.

Qin Anan: [Oh, so it's this 'no'! I was shocked!]

Qin Li’s mind was slow: “Mom, I didn’t…” He didn’t ask.

The next second, Qin Ling stuffed a chestnut into his mouth.

He gave Qin Li a look to shut up: "Eat chestnuts, eat chestnuts! Chestnuts are best eaten while they're hot! Haha!"

Qin Li: I really didn’t ask! 555!

Qin Anan: [I don't know why, but I feel like everyone's acting weird today! Mmm! The roasted chestnuts smell so good! Awoo! Awoo!]

————

They never returned home empty-handed and were seen by the children in the village. Qin Ling and Qin Li's "mountain goods team" soon attracted many children from Huaihua Village to join.

Especially the children who love to play with Qin Li, they always wait outside Feng Jingrou's house early and pester Qin Li to take them up the mountain.

North China is not like Northeast China. There are no tigers or bears in the mountains. Children are used to playing in the mountains, so there is no danger in the mountains for them.

Soon, Qin Ling and Qin Li's "mountain goods team" expanded to more than a dozen members.

Every day after school, they would go into the mountains in large groups, explore every uninhabited corner of the mountains, and then return home with their spoils.

Qin Anan looked at his happy expression and became more and more envious, and the more envious she became, the more depressed she became.

Oh my god!

When will I grow up?!

[Alas... it's so hard to be a child. ]

Feng Jingrou couldn't bear to hear her little daughter sighing every day.

He had no choice but to agree to let Qin Ling take his sister into the mountains.

"Only stay at the foot of the mountain. Go early and return early!"

Oh! Long live Mom!

Qin Anan was so happy that she opened her arms and couldn't wait to let her second brother carry her away.

"Put this on!" Feng Jingrou took out a little red hat and put it on Qin Anan.

This was crocheted with the red wool that Pang Jie gave me before. It is the latest apple style. It is fluffy and soft, and you can tell at a glance that it contains a very high amount of wool. There is also a cute little knot on the top. Qin Anan's skin looks whiter when she wears it, and it is so cute.

"Go...go!" Qin Anan pointed forward and gave orders in baby language.

Qin Ling smiled and said, "As you command! Your Highness!"

The team headed towards the mountains, and Qin Anan, wearing a little red hat, became the brightest color in the entire mountain.

As soon as I entered the mountains, I met some annoying people.

Yan Biao actually brought a group of people into the mountains to pick mountain products.

He deliberately went against Qin Ling, picking wherever Qin Ling went. His picking methods were extremely violent, grabbing everything he could and destroying anything he couldn't with his feet, hoe, or sickle, leaving nothing for Qin Ling and the others.

Qin Ling and Qin Li's team mostly consists of children, while Yan Biao leads tall junior high school students.

While Qin Ling was picking mountain products, he also had to distract himself to protect the children, which made him very passive.

Many children in Huaihua Village were frightened and cried.

【Yan Biao is so abominable! 】

Qin Anan's good mood was ruined. She turned around and went into the supermarket angrily, looking for talismans and magic medicine. She didn't care, she wanted to kill Yan Biao!

While I was rummaging around at the Chaoshen counter, the system suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Host, alert, there's a new plot!"

Qin Anan had no time to look up and said, "Report!"

Super God System: "A huge wild boar is running towards us!"

Qin Anan: "What, there are wild boars in this mountain?"

"Or extra large?"

Super God System: "Master, let's run! Your life is important! If you get hit by a wild boar, you're definitely done!"

Qin Anan looked at the talismans in the Chaoshen counter and smiled knowingly.

"Little genius, be good, we won't run!"

"I have a solution!"
