Grandma Qiao saw the three of them off at the gate, then stood there watching them go, filled with deep anticipation.
Although they said they still needed mushrooms, it didn't count until the money was in their hands.
The most important thing is to be able to sell everything and bring all the money home.
Then the two elders also carried baskets on their backs and went up the mountain to find matsutake mushrooms.
The family consists of Ms. Lü, Xiao Meng, and Ms. Qiao.
Qiao had a plaster on her leg. Everyone was worried that she would have to work again, so they all reminded her to take good care of herself before leaving home, otherwise the medicine would be wasted.
Qiao couldn't stay idle. As a farmer, she could use her hands, so how could she not do any work?
So she sat in the yard washing vegetables and picking beans.
Madam Lü was at her wits' end. She thought to herself, "When it's Qiao Yunni's turn, she'll be just as eager to help me with the work. No matter how I try to stop her, she won't listen. Humph."
Da Yong was the eldest of the Qiao family's grandchildren. He carried a basket on his back and strode forward.
They couldn't wait to see the piles of silver.
Da Cheng is only one year younger than Dayong, and he's also quite tall, so keeping up won't be a problem.
As for Qiao Lian'er, all she could do was frown, quicken her pace, or jog a little.
Da Yong immediately realized this and slowed down: "Da Cheng, you carry the sickle."
Da Cheng was annoyed that he hadn't thought of that, and nodded: "Okay."
Qiao Lian'er: "Ah."
Da Cheng squatted down in front of her: "Lian'er, climb up quickly. You're so thin, I can carry you and run."
Qiao Lian'er felt embarrassed. Her body was only twelve years old, but her soul was already twenty-eight. It was quite awkward for her to be lying on the back of a young man.
"Brother Dacheng, I can still keep up with you guys and won't hold you back."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You'll get tired running around like crazy too." In Da Cheng's eyes, Qiao Lian'er was just a child who looked only eight or nine years old. What was there to say about the strict separation between men and women?
And this is his own sister.
Without a word, Da Cheng reached behind him and pinned Qiao Lian'er to his back before she could run away.
Qiao Lian'er's face turned red, and she remained motionless like a stiff worm.
Da Cheng strode forward quickly and steadily, and soon the town came into view.
"Brother Dacheng, you should put me down. I'm all grown up now. If the people in town see me like this, they'll laugh at me."
Qiao Lian'er has gotten used to it, but she still doesn't want anyone to see it.
We'll be coming to town often from now on. Do you want people to point at her and say, "Is she that lazy girl who was carried on her brother's back?" No way.
Da Yong and Da Chengdu laughed. Da Yong said, "Lian'er is still so young, and he's already so concerned about saving face."
Qiao Lian'er: Who doesn't have face?
Da Cheng put Qiao Lian'er down, and Qiao Lian'er led them to the Han family in Anning Lane.
When they arrived at the Han family's gate, they saw servants inside hurrying around, busy with their tasks.
Qiao Lian'er beckoned a servant out and asked, "Is Madam Han here?"
"Madam is busy with something and doesn't have time to see anyone right now. Go on." The man waved to the three people at the door.
Then they heard an old woman's voice crying out from inside: "My son, you've been unconscious since last night, please don't let anything happen to you."
Upon hearing this, Dayong and Dacheng's faces turned pale instantly.
