When Wen Shanshan heard what Huo Ying said, she asked back confidently without any personal grudges, "If you don't go to help, how can you come here to eat for free every day?"

Huo Ying looked embarrassed.

Damn it, this woman Wen Shanshan always speaks so bluntly.

She comes to eat every day, just to get a free meal.

But she really doesn't want to bask in the sun.

Standing behind Huo Ying like a safe fortress, Huo Jin didn't move a muscle. He thought that given the young lady's temper, she would definitely refuse to eat and just leave.

As a result, he saw the eldest lady coming back, staring at him with her eyes.

"Brother Jin, I won't go to help, but you can go. You are very strong and can fight ten people alone. You can help me with my share."

Huo Jin would never refuse a request from a young lady, but...

He said calmly: "If I go to help, there will be no one to protect you, young lady."

Huo Ying waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "It's very safe here, Brother Jin, don't worry, just go to work with peace of mind."

Xu Qingzhi easily obtained a laborer who was more capable than Jiang Xiao.

She was just feeling sad about her father's stubborn temper and the fact that he had to dig the spring by himself without anyone's help, so she called Huo Jin over to help.

After taking Huo Jin to the back mountain to help, several people came down the mountain and prepared to pick vegetables.

Xia Weiwei had sharp eyes and just happened to see the small red fruits nearby.

"Wait, Qingzhi!"

Her eyes lit up and she rushed over excitedly. After confirming that the thorn bush was indeed a thorn bush, she waved to Qingzhi and Wen Shanshan: "Look, there are delicious food here."

This was one of the few snacks in my childhood.

When she was a child, she grew up at her grandmother's house. There was not even a small store in the village, and there were not many places to find such things in the mountains. Every time she saw them, it was like picking up a treasure.

Xu Qingzhi: "It's a thorn bubble."

"Well, in our dialect, it's called 'sweet bubbles'." Xia Weiwei nodded vigorously, picked a red bubble and tasted it, "It's delicious, it's sweet."

"Then let's pick some for this afternoon."

Xia Weiwei simply pulled the hem of her shirt forward and said, "Qingzhi, Shanshan, you guys pick them up, and I'll catch them for you."

When Xu Qingzhi saw Xia Weiwei's action, she remembered that she did the same thing when she was a child. She didn't have much pocket money to buy snacks, so when she encountered this kind of game in the mountains and had no pockets to put it in, she would hug it with her clothes.

After picking them all, there are about three or four kilograms, and we can’t pick any more.

Xia Weiwei was still not satisfied and said with some regret: "I don't know if there will be any left next time I come back to pick them. When I was a kid, this thing was a hot commodity. If it was discovered, it would be picked up completely."

"There will be more. This is the mountain that my family has leased. Not many people come here."

Xia Weiwei curled her lips and said with a sly smile, "Rich woman, do you mind supporting me?"

This made Wen Shanshan burst into laughter.

Xu Qingzhi put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I definitely can't support you, but when the flowers bloom in the back hills of my house, I'll give you enough fruit every year."

"I have already planted cherries and bayberries. I will plant strawberries in the second half of the year. Later, I plan to plant peaches, oranges, grapefruits, loquats, watermelons, grapes, melons..." Xu Qingzhi counted them one by one on her fingers. There were so many fruits she wanted to eat that she couldn't even count them all. "Let's plant as many as we can. Fruits ripen in different seasons, so we can eat them all year round."

Xia Weiwei's eyes lit up. "This is exactly my ideal life. Back home, there are mountains and land, and I can grow the vegetables and fruits I want to eat."

"Then you stay." Xu Qingzhi said.

Xia Weiwei smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I'd better continue to work in the entertainment industry. My family is still waiting for me to make money to support the family."

Xu Qingzhi understood and nodded.

After going down the mountain, take the prickly ash back first.

Huo Ying saw that they came back so quickly and asked, "Have you finished picking the vegetables?"

"No, I picked some food on the mountain." Xia Weiwei gestured to the other person to look at the food on her stomach. "It's all sweet and delicious."

A delicious gift from nature, without the pollution of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and surrounded by a spiritual energy array.

After washing them two or three times with clean water, several people sat under the persimmon tree and began to taste them.

Xia Weiwei twisted her body happily, "It's delicious, it really tastes like my childhood, I haven't eaten it for a long time."

"It's so sweet and has a very special taste, completely different from other fruits," said Wen Shanshan.

Huo Ying had seen this thing called raspberry in the supermarket, but had never eaten it, so he tried one. The little sweetness splashed in his mouth, and the taste was very surprising. "It's really delicious. I've seen it in the supermarket before, but I've never bought it. I can buy some next time."

"The ones sold in supermarkets are different from this one, and the taste is different." Xia Weiwei began to explain seriously, "Although they look similar, they are not the same variety. There are many varieties of raspberries, probably hundreds of them. It's just that the market currently distinguishes between red berries, black berries, etc. by color, but the taste of some red berries is not as good. I bought some in the supermarket before, and they were not as good as this one."

Xu Qingzhi also loves to eat. When she first told her mother that she wanted to grow fruits, she mentioned this.

She had already bought the seedlings and planted them in the space.

Raspberries are very easy to grow and much easier to care for than strawberries and blueberries.

Unlike strawberries, which reproduce by running stems, raspberries sprout many root seedlings from their underground stems every year. When the root seedlings mature, they can be dug out and become new seedlings.

The most exaggerated thing is that sometimes any branch touching the ground can grow many large white roots.

When growing them in a space, there is no need to worry about problems such as detoxification and variety variation.

Xu Qingzhi was just waiting for the land in the back mountain to be turned over and the roots and seedlings in the space to grow well, and then she would transplant them out.

Wen Shanshan didn't know what Qingzhi was thinking, but she couldn't help being tempted by the delicious prickly ash: "Qingzhi, why don't you grow some? They're really delicious. It would be great if we could eat them every year. We never know when we won't be able to eat wild ones."

Xu Qingzhi touched her head and smiled dotingly: "Okay, I will plant some."

"I'll come and eat when the time comes!" Wen Shanshan raised her hand, just like a well-behaved child who had to raise her hand to answer questions in class.

When Huo Ying heard this, he also raised his hand high: "Me, I want to eat too!"

Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "When the fruits are ripe, remember to call me, Qingzhi."
