The next morning, Jianshu was woken up early by the alarm clock. He didn't stay in bed as usual, but got up quickly.

There was no way she could really let the kids wake her up, right? She still had some dignity, didn't she?

Although I have already lost face, I would rather lose as little face as possible.

After washing up, she tied up her shoulder-length hair and walked out of the room neatly.

It rained again last night. The ground was wet and the flowers, plants and trees were all covered with rain water. The whole world was washed and became brand new.

Standing under the eaves and looking at the blue sky, Jianshu took a deep breath. The air was so good that he felt a little more relaxed.

I took out the leftover flatbread from last night, as well as a small pot of corn grits porridge that I didn't know when left over, and added some pickled radish and salted duck eggs to go with the porridge.

I ate too much last night, so I'd better eat something light this morning, otherwise my stomach won't be able to take it.

She ate while waiting for Tiedan. They had agreed yesterday that the child would definitely come to her house to find her.

Sure enough, Jianshu had only finished half of his meal when Tiedan came in barefoot, wearing clothes full of patches, carrying a basket, and pushing open the gate.

As he walked, he shouted loudly, "Pretty sister, get up! Pretty sister, get up!"

Hearing the shout, Jianshu couldn't help but clench his chopsticks and gritted his teeth, this brat!

Fortunately, there were not many people around, otherwise, with his loud voice, the news that she stayed in bed would spread throughout the entire family compound in no time.

You really deserve a beating!

"You little brat, what are you yelling about!" Fearing that he would continue yelling like that, Jian Shu quickly put down his chopsticks and walked out.

Seeing her, Tiedan's eyes lit up. "Beautiful sister, you're up. I thought you weren't up yet and was just about to call you to get up."

Seeing the child's sincere tone, Jianshu fell silent.

As expected, sincerity is the permanent killer skill.

How could she still be angry when he was like this?

Finally, Jian Shu could only sigh and waved at him, "Have you eaten yet? Come and eat some more with your sister."

"I've eaten. Pretty sister, I'll wait for you outside." Tiedan held his stomach and shook his head repeatedly. He couldn't eat at someone else's house.

Living so close, how could Jianshu not know he was lying? Judging from the looks of it, he definitely hadn't eaten.

Because the family was burdened with heavy expenses, Wu Xiufang had always been frugal. In order to feed the whole family, she basically ate two meals a day and usually skipped breakfast.

She sighed slightly, but didn't expose him. She pulled Tiedan into the house and said, "It's a bit lonely to eat alone. Tiedan, can you eat with me for a while?"

"Then I'll sit with you." Tiedan sat down on the chair.

Jianshu took a bowl and filled it with grits porridge for him, and then gave him a flatbread. "But eating alone doesn't taste good. I can't finish it all by myself. Tiedan, just think of it as keeping me company, okay?"

After all, she was still a child, and it took her strong willpower for her to refuse twice. After Jianshu's repeated requests, she finally agreed and had dinner with Jianshu.

But he just silently ate the porridge in the bowl and the pancake in his hand, without even glancing at the other dishes. It was Jianshu who noticed it and picked up some food for him, otherwise this child would have just drunk the porridge and eaten the pancake.

After he finished the porridge and pancakes, Jianshu wanted to serve him more, but this time he really refused to take any.

After estimating it in her mind, she didn't insist anymore. The child's appetite was just that big, and a bowl of porridge and a pancake should be enough.

After dinner, Tiedan rushed to clear the table and wash the dishes. Jianshu didn't fight with him. The child was sensible and he definitely couldn't get over eating and drinking for free. Anyway, children nowadays have been working since they were young, so it was no big deal to just wash the dishes.

While he was washing the dishes, Jianshu changed into a pair of rubber shoes, packed his things, slung his basket over his shoulder, and waited to set off.

Although Tiedan is young, he works very efficiently and finished the work quickly.

Seeing Jian Shu waiting for him at the door, he quickly ran over and slung his basket over his shoulder, "Beautiful sister, let's go."

Only their family members went up the mountain today. Wu Xiufang didn't come with them because she had a lot of things to do at home. Tiedan can be half a person's help. He has traveled all over the mountain, so picking mushrooms is no problem for him.

The other older children in the Zhao family also had their own chores, so the easier task of picking mushrooms was left to the younger brother.

Jianshu and Tiedan have a good relationship. Although there is a big age gap between them, children nowadays are sensible at an early age. The two of them get along surprisingly well. They talked and laughed along the way, and they were very relaxed and comfortable.

The two of them walked out of Jianshu's house through the back door, a shortcut that other people usually took. They didn't meet anyone along the way, so they saved the trouble of saying hello.

It rained yesterday and the ground was very muddy, with footprints left wherever you walked.

Jianshu always felt a little difficult to walk even in rubber shoes, but Tiedan walked barefoot and his steps were still so light. For a child who grew up in the mountains, this was no big deal.

Although she is an adult, she doesn't walk as fast as a child. Fortunately, Tiedan is considerate and always stops to wait for her after walking for a while.

The two walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, and only after climbing up the mountain did they see groups of people.

After the rain, mushrooms popped up in the mountains. Anyone who has time will definitely come to pick some mushrooms.

When you get home, whether you stir-fry it, stew it, or make it into soup, you can add a dish to your family to change the taste.

If you have good eyesight and good luck and can pick up a lot, you can dry them and keep them. They can be a delicious dish when you have no other vegetables to eat in the future.

Housewives at that time were very frugal in their lives and would not easily miss out on free food.

After all, there is not enough food at home, so why would you complain about having too much?

Winter is coming in two months, and everyone will start storing food like little hamsters.
