Chapter 272

I went up the mountain to collect herbs and looked at Chen Qingliu opposite me. I could see that he had lost a lot of weight.

His face was sallow, he had dark circles under his eyes, red bloodshot eyes, and his clothes looked like they were pickled.

My hair is also dry and messy, and looks like it will break at any moment.

Chen Qingyi didn't want to stick around, so she not only jumped off the bench herself, but also helped Old Lady Chen down.

Each of them held a bench, put it behind their backs, and walked out without recognizing anyone.

When Shi Lanhua heard the noise and ran out, she heard the door slam shut.

My eyes were so big that they looked like flowers, and my stomach was about to explode.

Old man Chen looked at the two men, who were like the victorious rooster, and was speechless.

Chen Changhe and his family were laughing beside them.

Chen Qingyi took out two picture books from her bag and said, "Qingzhi, here you go. When you're done reading them, ask Xiaogoudan to exchange them for them."

This made the little girl very happy.

The films given to her were "Heroic Sisters of the Prairie" and "The Monkey King 3: The Legend Begins".

The ones given to Xiao Goudan and the others were "The Chicken Feather Letter", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Son of the Fishing Island".

There are also "Land Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare".

Although it is second-hand, it does not affect my viewing experience, as it has a little damage.

Qingzhi happily shook her head left and right, chattering and flattering herself.

Wu Xifeng nodded her little head unhappily, "You don't act like a girl at all."

But his eyes were full of smiles.

Then he looked at Chen Qingyi and said, "Xiaoyi, don't spoil her too much in the future. This girl is not obedient now."

Chen Qingzhi didn't want to hear her mother slandering her and was very dissatisfied.

"Mom, how could I be disobedient? I always raise my hand when the teacher asks questions.

The teacher said I was very smart."

She still remembered what Sister Xiaoyi said: if she wanted a bicycle or a small watch, she had to study hard.

"Yes, yes, my daughter is amazing."

Chen Changhe laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. He pulled his daughter over and praised her again and again.

And then... well, he stole the picture book.

Chen Qingzhi suddenly learned an idiom, which means to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and to pout so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.

Wu Xifeng was so angry that she picked up a feather duster to scare people.

Chen Qingyi also laughed, "Aunt San, my mother packed out a lot of my old clothes.

I've been growing so fast lately that I can't wear any more. If you don't mind, come to our house and pick something out."

"I don't mind." Wu Xifeng smiled like a flower, "Everyone's little sister picks up her big sister's clothes to wear.

You wear your clothes carefully and they are about 60% to 70% new.

No one would be happy to give it to me. I'll go there this afternoon."

If the Zhao family didn’t have a girl younger than Xiaoyi, her family wouldn’t have had a turn!

Only a fool would despise such a good thing.

In the afternoon, Wu Xifeng picked out four pieces of clothing and three pairs of pants and left. When she reached the door of her house, she was seen by Shi Lanhua again.

She was so angry that she slammed the door.

Wu Xifeng rolled her eyes at her and said, "What the hell, really..."

I went back to the house and started talking to Chen Changhe.

Chen Changhe sighed, "After the family split, my eldest brother's family has become more and more out of tune."

"I used to think Shengnan and Qingshu were the laziest and least promising people, but now it's the other way around."

The two older ones above are both unsatisfied and are becoming more and more troublesome.

But the more I struggle, the worse it gets.

Sometimes you really can't help but believe in fate.

The next morning, before six o'clock, Chen Qingyi finished her breakfast and happily went to find Old Zhai with her backpack on her back.

There was also a lot of food in the basket filled with cloth bags.

There is also a butcher knife.

The old man was old, but his eyes were sharp, so to be on the safe side, he didn't put it in the space.

"Oh, are you dressed too, old man?"

As soon as Chen Qingyi entered the yard, she saw that the old man was fully armed with a small shovel on his waist.

"It's been ready for a long time. I've been waiting for you."

Old Zhai rolled his eyes at her, his eyes full of intimacy, and said, "We won't be back at noon.

Can you bring food?"

In fact, he mainly wanted to ask if anyone had brought his copy.

The old man is as shameless as Chen Qingyi.

"I have it, old man. What are you doing with this shovel? Do you want to dig ginseng?"

Chen Qingyi moved closer to Old Zhai and carefully observed the tools he brought with him.

The old Zhaitou's mouth twitched, "Look who is digging ginseng with such a big shovel, little girl who knows nothing."

"What about the red string in your pocket?"

Old Zhaitou: “……!!”

"You don't have any copper coins with you, do you?"

Chen Qingyi screamed in surprise and saw that the old man looked unnatural and rolled his eyes at her.

I knew I guessed right.

"Old man, you are quite ambitious. Hehe, I want to dig it too."

"You were right to ask me to go with you, I'm a lucky guy.

Let's go straight into the mountains today and don't take anything that's not good.

I specifically look for ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, astragalus, bupleurum, etc., and they must be of a certain age.

Maybe we can even find a century-old ginseng!"

"How dare you imagine that. I haven't seen him for many years." Old Zhai rolled his eyes at her.

This girl is really good at fooling people.

The two of them were arguing with each other until they reached the foot of the mountain.

There are few people walking around the mountains this season. The ferns on the mountains are old and the mushrooms have not yet appeared.

The two met Aunt Yun, Aunt Zhang, Shuan Zhuzi and others on the way, but the educated youth were not there.

Yu Qinghua is getting married today, and the educated youth are considered to be his in-laws, so they are all helping out.

Although there is nothing to do.

There was no wedding banquet, just an oath in front of the leader's portrait and some handing out of some wedding candies, and that was it.

After Yu Qinghua and Cao Xiaoyu got married, they could no longer live in the educated youth camp.

I want to move to Cao's house temporarily.

There are no empty houses in the brigade, so this is the only way.

But I heard that Yu Qinghua called his family and they said they would send him some money.

Let the young couple build their own house.

"Wow, Shuanzhuzi, you're so capable! You actually found so many raspberries?"

This season is usually over early.

"Hey, I picked them over there. Usually no one goes there."

Shuanzhuzi was very proud, "Well, Sister Xiaoyi, I'll give you some."

"I don't want it."

Chen Qingyi shook her head like a rattle. This kid is really brave and courageous.

There are graves everywhere over there, no wonder there are still some left.

Thinking back to the ferns he had picked before, they were also particularly thick.

Chen Qingyi shuddered unconsciously.

Oh my god, ever since her Meng Po soup stopped working, she has become a little bit superstitious.

The little hand quickly called out to the old Zhaitou who was a little behind, "Let's go."

The old man rudely mocked her for being timid. Chen Qingyi was furious and then rolled her eyes.

So he started telling stories.

"Old man, have you heard about the Qi family in our brigade?"

"What's up?"

The old man saw several wolfberry trees, noted their locations, and planned to come back when the season came.

“Her granddaughter had a dream at night that her grandmother was making a shed at home with mud paste.

She asked her grandmother why, and her grandmother said the roof was leaking.

I've had the same dream for several days in a row, and guess what?

"What's going on?"

The old man did a great job of supporting the main role, and Chen Qingyi listened with great interest. He even asked Chen Qingyi for a cucumber to eat.

"Her father went to the grave and saw that a wild boar had trampled a big hole in it."

"What's that look in your eyes? Seriously, you don't know?" Chen Qingyi also took a cucumber root.

Cucumbers are like instant noodles, you don’t feel anything special when you eat them yourself.

Others think it is so delicious as soon as they eat it.

"I was also telling you that when the Wu family in our brigade was building a house... they encountered a yellow-skinned mantis in their dream.

It said that its home was there and asked them to wait for two days while it moved first, but the Wu family didn't believe it.

Don't wait for anyone to move.

The next day, the old house was demolished, and I immediately broke my leg."

"And Old Li's family is building a pigpen..."

"The Wang family is moving their graves..."

Balabala told Old Zhai two more real cases.

Without exception, they were all talking nonsense, and the old man rubbed his arms secretly while listening.

Getting closer to Chen Qingyi.

Chen Qingyi smiled secretly in her heart. Anyone who could carry copper coins up the mountain must be a superstitious person.

Are you scared?

Then the fifth story was told, "There are seven ginseng dolls on the mountain..."

Old Zhai was anxious, puffing his beard and glaring, "You are so narrow-minded!"

Chen Qingyi chuckled.
