They rushed to do the work, hoping He Tiantian could take a break. However, He Tiantian appreciated their help and didn't slow down her work.
She's young, she's strong, and she firmly believes she can change her life with her own hands. If not now, what are you waiting for?
Some villagers with free time went up the mountain to pick wild fruits and mushrooms and saw these people working hard, which changed their impression of these people who had been sent down to the countryside.
In the eyes of the villagers, as long as someone works hard and doesn't cheat or shirk responsibility, they are considered a good person.
The villagers had a good impression of these hardworking people, and some of them would give some of the wild fruits and vegetables they found to Zuo Li and Xiang Rong.
The villagers' actions touched the hearts of these people who had been sent from other places.
Such interactions are natural and heartwarming.
But in some people's eyes, it's an eyesore. They want to sabotage it, but they can't find any solid evidence. So they can only be like a snake hiding in the shadows, watching furtively, flicking its venomous tongue, waiting for its chance to strike.
With many hands making light work, the task for the village was finally completed in five days.
Now that the livestock team is large, He Tiantian, like the other educated youth, doesn't need to go to work. He Tiantian has a lot of work points, so even if she doesn't work for a few days, she won't go hungry. Besides, with the Snake King around, she doesn't have to worry about food.
He Tiantian is resting at home and sleeping in.
"Is Sister Tiantian home?" Qi Fangfang knocked on the door, her voice cheerful, as if she had something happy to say.
Grandma Qi San tiptoed over to open the door, smiling and saying, "Hehe, is that Fangfang? You're here to see Tian'er, right? Come in and sit down. That girl is really tired. After breakfast, I sent her back to sleep. Wait a minute, I'll call her when I come inside."
"Thank you, Third Grandma," Qi Fangfang said. "Yesterday I heard about a place with lots of wild mushrooms. I'm thinking of asking Sister Tiantian and Xiaoyan to go to the back mountain together to pick some to eat in the winter. Otherwise, when it gets cold, we won't be able to find these things anymore."
Grandma Qi went inside and woke He Tiantian up.
He Tiantian then lazily got up, half-closing her eyes, carrying a washbasin, a toothbrush, and a towel around her neck.
"Sister Tian, I'm going to call Xiao Yan. We're going to pick wild fruits and mushrooms on the mountain together. Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, don't dawdle." Qi Fangfang said, and ran out without waiting for He Tiantian's reply.
Although He Tiantian was awake, it didn't mean she wanted to go to the back mountain. She had to go up the mountain to work every day before, and she was tired of it.
Today she finally doesn't have to work, and she doesn't want to go out at all.
Qi Fangfang has already gone to find Qi Xiaoyan. Qi Xiaoyan will be here soon, and He Tiantian will have to go whether she wants to or not.
Oh dear, why didn't she stop Qi Fangfang? Good heavens, she wasn't even fully awake yet, and Qi Fangfang had already run off.
Sure enough, after a while, Qi Fangfang arrived with Qi Xiaoyan, both carrying a basket on their backs. He Tiantian had already washed up and resignedly followed Qi Fangfang and Qi Xiaoyan up the mountain, carrying her bamboo basket.
"Sister Tian, you go to the back mountain to cut grass all day long. Do you know where there are lots of wild fruits and wild mushrooms?" Although Qi Fangfang had ulterior motives today, it would be even better if she could pick some fruits and wild mushrooms while completing her task.
I only have these few days a year, so the places I frequent have probably already been picked clean by others.
"Yes, Sister Tian, please take us there." Qi Xiaoyan also wanted to harvest more today so she could make some food for her family. Her parents usually didn't want her to suffer, but seeing how tired they were, she felt sorry for them and hoped she could help them.
He Tiantian had already used her spare time while working to pick a lot of wild fruits and wild mushrooms, organized them, and put them in the Snake King's barrier space, planning to take them home for the New Year!
There really aren't many things left on the mountain. He Tiantian reminded us, "Look, there are quite a few people on the mountain. Even if we go, we might not be able to find many. Besides, compared to wild fruits and wild mushrooms, our safety is also very important."
"Okay, Sister Tian, we'll listen to you," Qi Xiaoyan said. "If they can pick them, so can we."
The three of them walked to the foot of the mountain and were surprised to see Lin Xiaoru, Huang Jingli, and Li Mingkai behind them. Looking further ahead, they also saw Sister Wu, Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan, and Ye Xiaofan.
Huang Jingli, who had been groveling before Lin Xiaoru, felt a surge of affection upon seeing He Tiantian after her disappointment with Li Mingkai. She asked, "Tiantian, what are you doing up on the mountain?"
When Qi Fangfang saw Li Mingkai, she unconsciously combed her hair. Hearing Huang Jingli's words, she was displeased and said, "What are you doing on the mountain? We're here for the same reason."
"That ugly woman Huang Jingli actually spied on Li Mingkai playing the piano and singing before. She's overestimating herself," Qi Fangfang thought to herself.
If He Tiantian heard this, she would definitely laugh her head off.
Even if Huang Jingli is ugly, she's still prettier than Qi Fangfang!
Huang Jingli was taken aback, wondering why this girl was talking to her like that, since they had never interacted before and there was no conflict between them!
Seeing Qi Fangfang's behavior, He Tiantian frowned slightly. Was Qi Fangfang jealous?
Just as He Tiantian was about to frown and say a few words to Qi Fangfang, Qi Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Fangfang, that's Sister Jingli, she's an educated youth from our village. She's talking to you nicely, why are you being so rude!"
They didn't offend you, so why talk to them like that?
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian were a little unhappy, Qi Fangfang laughed and said, "That's just how I am, I speak my mind, I didn't mean anything by it! Sister Jingli, please don't be angry."
He Tiantian sneered inwardly, "You must have some other intention!"
Qi Fangfang's narrowed eyes had already glanced at Li Mingkai several times. It was He Tiantian, who had been keeping an eye on Qi Fangfang, who noticed.
Oh dear, that's strange! Why did Qi Fangfang take a liking to Li Mingkai?
In their past lives, Qi Fangfang and Li Mingkai had no connection.
Not daring to offend the locals, Huang Jingli smiled and said, "It's nothing. We're all young people, it's more lively to go up the mountain together."
"Hurry up and go, we've already gone quite far ahead," Lin Xiaoru urged impatiently.
Logically speaking, Huang Jingli and Lin Xiaoru were on good terms. If someone was making things difficult for Huang Jingli, Lin Xiaoru should have helped her. But Lin Xiaoru seemed completely unconcerned, which truly surprised He Tiantian.
Huang Jingli wasn't angry, which surprised He Tiantian! Could it be that Huang Jingli has something on Lin Xiaoru?
A group of people were walking on a mountain path when a funny scene unfolded.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan walked ahead, while Li Mingkai gradually approached Qi Xiaoyan, wanting to say a few words to her. Seeing Li Mingkai walking this way, Qi Fangfang kept moving closer to him, hoping to find an opportunity to speak with him. (To be continued.)
