In one whole day, they harvested a whole tractor-load of wild blueberries. This efficiency delighted Director Zhang, and he settled the bill for them on the spot.

"Old Nian, take this sweet and sour pork to Gu Zhiqing."

Wang Laonian was a capable man who could bring back several baskets of wild vegetables and mushrooms every day. Qiaomei couldn't go up the mountain, so she stayed home to pick, blanch, and dry them, which was a great help to Wang Laonian. Seeing that the family's stock was growing, the two of them were very excited and had hope for life. When Gu An'an returned, Wang Laonian got up early to buy meat and cooked a pot of sweet and sour pork, but he gave most of it to Gu An'an.

"Gu, the educated youth."

Given what happened before, unless Qiaomei is also there, Wang Laonian will not go in voluntarily.

"Vixen."

Qin Xue hasn't been doing well lately. She's broke and wanted to go to the mountains to gather wild vegetables to exchange for money, like everyone else. But thinking about Gu An'an and Zhou Yue's relationship, she felt that if she did what everyone else did, she would be losing to Zhou Yue.

Therefore, even though she was envious, she only prepared a little for herself and didn't have any extra stock to exchange for money.

A classic case of being so concerned with saving face that it leads to suffering.

Of course, no one would advise her. Although the mountain was big and there were many things, the villagers were not nice. Every additional person meant one more competitor. In addition, she herself was not likable, so no one would treat her sincerely.

As Qin Xue spoke, she glanced at Xie Yuan, who was tidying his clothes, and found that he didn't even look in her direction. Her anger flared up instantly.

"You make a big effort to prepare yourself every day before going up the mountain. Are you going to collect goods or to rummage through other people's goods?"
