The mountain is quite large, and the mushroom pickers intentionally kept a distance from each other, scattered in groups of three or four. Jianshu didn't see anyone he knew, so he didn't go over to say hello.

After looking around, she pulled Tiedan and left in a direction with fewer people, so as to avoid bumping into others as much as possible.

"Beautiful sister, there, there are mushrooms!" Tiedan had sharp eyes and quickly discovered a large area of ​​mushrooms growing. He excitedly patted Jianshu's arm.

"No, no!" Jianshu was also a little excited.

As a child who grew up in the plains in her previous life, she had never seen a mountain when she was young, let alone going up the mountain to pick wild fruits, chestnuts and mushrooms.

She had rarely left Beijing in her life. She would occasionally go hiking in the suburbs, but that was just to enjoy the scenery. She only experienced picking mushrooms when she came to the family compound and followed Wu Xiufang and Tiedan.

Although her eyesight is not very good, she never gets tired of it. The feeling of finding a treasure is really fascinating.

It was just like playing house as a child, searching for ingredients and then cooking them into delicious food. But playing house was all fake, while picking mushrooms, picking wild fruits and digging wild vegetables were all real, making her feel like she was back in her childhood.

"It's just in front. I'll take you there." Tiedan pulled the two Jianshus and ran towards a tree.

Now Jianshu no longer had any difficulty walking. With the mushroom hanging in front of her, she could walk very fast.

They were getting closer and closer, and before Tiedan could point it out, she saw it.

It’s really a big piece. I love Jianshu so much. I wish all mushrooms were in pieces like this.

God knows, those little dots here and there made her eyes so blurry that she couldn't even see them. Without training, her eyesight is really not good.

In her opinion, it was just a patch of dead grass, so where would the mushrooms come from?

Ever since she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms for most of the day but couldn't even cover the bottom of her basket, she never went up the mountain to pick mushrooms alone again. She either had to bring Wu Xiufang or Tiedan with her, and there had to be someone to accompany her.

However, Wu Xiufang had a lot of things to do at home, and she didn't have time two or three times out of five, so Tiedan was with her most of the time.

Gradually, the relationship between Jianshu and Tiedan became better and better, and through Tiedan he got to know a group of his good brothers. Slowly, Jianshu's relationship with other family members did not improve much, but he became the leader of the kids, which was really laughable.

But Jianshu doesn’t care much about these things. Who cares who she gets along well with? Isn’t it enough to be happy?

"Wow - Tiedan, we're rich today! Hurry up!" Jianshu's eyes lit up, as if he saw a pile of gold, and he ran towards the mushroom field cheering.

"Let's go!" Tiedan nodded repeatedly.

After picking up this large patch of mushrooms, the basket can be filled up quite a lot.

The two, one big and one small, excitedly ran to their destination. After checking the nearby mushrooms, Tiedan said to Jianshu confidently, "Beautiful sister, the mushrooms here are all edible. Feel free to pick any you like. I'll help you pick some when we get back."

After spending two months together, he realized that when it came to picking mushrooms, his beautiful sister was no match for a three-year-old child, and she couldn't even tell the poisonous ones from the non-poisonous ones.

The first time I picked mushrooms, at least half of the mushrooms in the basket were inedible, which was really worrying.

Alas! Tiedan couldn't help sighing again. What would he do without him?

"Tiedan, how can you be so nice! You're such a warm-hearted man!" Jianshu felt his affection and a warm current suddenly rose in her heart. She couldn't help but pinch his cheeks, pulling them left and right, and said with a touching look on her face.

Alas, it has begun again, Tiedan sighed again. But he still stood there obediently, letting Jianshu do his thing.

"Pretty sister, let's pick mushrooms quickly. Once we finish picking mushrooms here, let's move to another place. Otherwise, what will happen if all the other places are picked up later?"

"Yes, yes, let's hurry up. I must pick up a full basket today!" When the mushrooms were mentioned, Jianshu immediately let him go, picked up the basket and prepared to start working.

Although her eyesight for finding mushrooms is still not good enough, her mushroom picking skills have improved a lot. Although she can't say that they are complete, at least they are not picked in pieces like at the beginning.

I saw her squatting on the ground, picking mushrooms with a grunt. Every time she picked a mushroom, the smile on her face deepened. As the number of mushrooms in the basket increased, the smile on her face became wider.

Tiedan started paying attention to Jianshu. After seeing that everything was going well for a while, he devoted himself to the great cause of picking mushrooms.

His mother and brothers and sisters are not here today, so he is the only one here. He needs to pick more, dry them and store them so that the family will have more food to eat in the winter, and his mother won't have to look at the lack of food at home with a sad face and sigh.

Tiedan, who is very anxious at a young age, is very skillful in picking mushrooms. He can pick two mushrooms in the time it takes Jianshu to pick one, and he can even use both hands at the same time. His efficiency is much higher than Jianshu.

After picking a field of mushrooms, both of their baskets were filled with a lot, but Jianshu's basket had less.

But she didn't care. She came to pick mushrooms more to experience the process, feel the joy of picking them up for free and the satisfaction of finally enjoying the results. She didn't care much about how much she harvested.

The family wasn't short of food, but the Zhao family was different. These were all the family's stored food, so naturally the more the better. Even if Jianshu picked more, she would still find a way to give it to Tiedan. This was better now, as it saved her trouble.

After all, Tiedan is a kid who won't accept something easily, so now she doesn't have to waste time.

Not only is the air fresh on the mountain after the rain, but mushrooms are popping up in spots. They are not everywhere, but they are many times more dense than usual.

With Jianshu's good eyesight, it is much easier to find things.

The two of them walked in the mountains, and they would squat down and start picking mushrooms after every two steps. Although they didn't encounter a large area like at the beginning, as time passed, the number of mushrooms in the basket increased.

Various kinds of mushrooms were piled up in the basket, which was a good harvest.

Soon their baskets were full. Looking at the large area left unpicked, Tiedan felt reluctant and suggested to Jianshu, "Pretty sister, how about we send the mushrooms back and come back later?"

It's a rare sight to have so many mushrooms. It would be a shame not to pick some. Who knows when it will rain next time?

The harvest he gained in just a few moments today was equivalent to what he would gain in a whole day going up the mountain. It would be a pity not to take the opportunity to make a few more trips.

Thinking of this, Tiedan decided to take a rest. If the beautiful sister didn't want to come, he would come by himself later. He ran fast and it was still early, so maybe he could run a few more times.
