She said: "Teacher Ye, I received a letter from Li Lan the day before yesterday!"

Ye Qing's expression changed drastically: "What did she say?"

Zhao Qingmei said softly, "Although I don't know what's going on outside, I have heard that she killed someone in the capital. So I didn't dare tell anyone about this letter. I will come to find you when you get home and bring the letter with me."

Ye Qing calmed down and nodded: "Okay! Then let Qin Ye see that men have many ways to deal with it."

After saying a few more words, Zhao Qingmei left.

Ye Qing and the others continued walking up the mountain.

Sun Fang's expression also changed, and she said, "Teacher Ye, this is an important matter. Why don't we talk to the man first? She is a murderer now, and she even dared to write a letter to Zhao Qingmei. She is so bold!"

Ye Qing shook her head: "Don't worry, we have found the men now, it won't be too late to talk about it when they go home for lunch at noon."

"Almost everyone here knows about that incident. She doesn't dare to come back."

Sun Fang thought about it and it made sense. They were going to the regiment headquarters now. By the time they got there, the men should have come back for dinner, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

So he followed Ye Qing up the mountain.

There are so many mushrooms in the woods after the rain! Ye Qing was dazzled.

Nannan and Huzi were also running and jumping around picking mushrooms. While picking, they listened to Ye Qing telling them how to distinguish between poisonous mushrooms and non-toxic mushrooms.

Sun Fang smiled and said, "It's good to be educated! Teacher Ye knows a lot and explains things very clearly. I know poisonous mushrooms and non-poisonous mushrooms, but I can't tell them apart."

"Before you came, everyone said it was a pity that Captain Qin married a country girl! She's a good person, and her family is good. If he doesn't marry a rich girl, he should at least marry someone who's similar, right?"

"If you ask me, you and Captain Qin are a perfect match! Teacher Ye is no worse than a daughter of a famous family! She is beautiful and well-educated. Whoever marries her will be blessed!"

Ye Qing bent down and picked a mushroom and put it in the bamboo basket, saying with a smile: "How can it be as good as what my sister-in-law said? If you praise me like this again, I will be flattered!"

After a while, the bamboo basket was half full, and more people went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Ye Qing put a big mushroom in the bamboo basket and called to Sun Fang, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go back? These are enough for two days."

Sun Fang picked up more mushrooms than she did. She walked down with the bamboo basket on her back, agreed, and still bent down to pick up two mushrooms. She said, "Okay! There are so many mushrooms today! Let's go back and leave some for others."

When Ye Qing returned home, Qin Ye had already returned with two bottles of canned fruit and some eggs in his hands. At the same time, Zhao Qingmei was also waiting at her door.

Seeing Ye Qing coming back from the mountains, and then looking at the bamboo basket and mushrooms on Ye Lan's back, Qin Ye frowned slightly.

Before he could get angry, Ye Qing smiled first, hugged his arms, and her soft voice made people feel comfortable: "You're back? It's just right. We picked a lot of mushrooms today. Let's have pheasant stewed with mushrooms."

Qin Ye couldn't say the words of reproach that were on his lips anymore, so he could only muffle his words and say, "Running around again! Are you feeling better?"

Ye Qing smiled sweetly: "I didn't have much to do, and I was bored to death at home. I felt much better after going out for a walk."

Qin Ye was no longer angry. Ye Lan opened the door and said, "Qingmei, come in quickly. Come in and talk."

Qin Ye then realized that Zhao Qingmei was still standing next to him, and immediately took his hand away from Ye Qing's back.

Zhao Qingmei lowered her head and laughed.

Ye Qing smiled and pointed at the pheasant on the ground and said, "Sister-in-law Sun Fang sent this here early in the morning. You kill the chicken later while my sister and I go wash the mushrooms. Qingmei, don't leave at noon. Stay for lunch."

Zhao Qingmei immediately waved her hands: "No! No! Sister Qingqing, I'm here to deliver the letter. This matter is of great importance, and Captain Qin is here too, please give me some advice."
