Chapter 514 Is it too late?



Li Xiufen and Shen Xingzhou are cooking.

"Xiaoxiao is up..." Li Xiufen put the last dumpling into the pot. "Your elder brother has been so lazy at home these days. I called him three times, but he still hasn't come out."

Shen Xingzhou, who was sitting on a small stool, smiled and said, “Aunt, my eldest brother may be too tired. It’s okay to let him sleep a little longer.”

"The exam is over now, why should he be tired? He is just being pretentious," Li Xiufen began to complain, "You brought two bundles of firewood to the house yesterday, and you got up early to help with the cooking. Look at him, he has been reading his crappy books and hasn't gotten up yet..."

She became angrier and angrier. She wiped her hands with her apron and said, "I'll call him again and see if he gets up."

After Li Xiufen left, Shen Xingzhou pulled Fu Xiao to sit on another small stool, “Come, roast it.”

Fu Xiao stretched out his little hands to warm them, and when they were warm, he took them back and crossed them into his sleeves.

It means putting your left hand into the sleeve of your right hand, and your right hand into the sleeve of your left hand. It is the standard configuration in winter, and those who understand will understand.

Fu Xiao glanced at him and said in an inexplicable tone: "My aunt never said anything about my eldest brother before..."

Shen Xingzhou's lips curled up into a smile, and he raised his hand to hook her hair, "When are we going back to Beijing City?"

Fu Xiao thought for a moment, "The day after tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow. I want to go to the mountain before I leave."

"Okay, I'll go with you,"

She blinked and lowered her voice: "I want to go to the mountains."

Shen Xingzhou nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you,"

Fu Yu walked into the kitchen expressionlessly, looking at Shen Xingzhou who was smiling brightly at him, and said: "Tell me if you are cheap or not..."

Shen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, “Brother, push the dumplings.”

Fu Yu took a deep breath, pushed the dumplings, and added some water. "Do you know how to light a fire? The dumplings are rotten. Turn down the fire."

Fu Xiao lowered her head. Shen Xingzhou was really capable. He turned her eldest brother, such a calm man, into an elementary school kid who would quarrel with others.

Li Xiufen came over, took a look at the dumplings, and added some water to them. "Xingzhou, you can take the firewood out now. The dumplings will be ready soon."

After Fu Yu finished eating the dumplings, Shen Xingzhou and Fu Xiao sent him back to the county, and he took a bus back to the city.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm leaving. Be careful when you return to Beijing."

"Brother, I'm here, what danger can there be?"

Fu Yu gave him a cold look, his eyes spoke for themselves.

Aren't you the most dangerous one?

Fu Xiao glanced at the big car behind him and said, "Brother, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

"Yeah," Fu Yu raised his hand, rubbed her head, and hugged her gently.

Before leaving, he gave Shen Xingzhou a warning look: "Pay attention to me,"

After watching his car drive away, the two turned around and left.

Shen Xingzhou tilted his head to look at her and said softly, “Xiaoxiao, shall we go to the movies?”

Fu Xiao shook his head, "No..."

She looked at him with shining eyes, "Let's go into the mountains."

How could Shen Xingzhou refuse her request, so the two drove back home and immediately went up the mountain with the backpack on their backs.

Grandpa Fu behind him also pulled Shen Xingzhou and reminded him: "You must go home before dark."

"Don't worry, Grandpa,"

The two walked up the mountain, and Shen Xingzhou said in a gentle voice: "Xiaoxiao, are you tired? I'll carry you."

Fu Xiao gave him a disdainful look.

She snorted coldly, took two quick steps to pass him, and showed him with her own actions whether she was tired or not.

Shen Xingzhou chuckled and followed her.

After crossing the ditch, the two men arrived in the deep mountains.

The mountains in winter are naturally not as vibrant as those in the other three seasons.

There are bare trees everywhere, and fallen leaves and dead wood can be seen everywhere.

Fu Xiao said, "Let's catch some pheasants and bring them back."

Clip the wings of the pheasants and keep them at home so that when they leave the mountain village, the family will not lack meat to eat.

"Okay," Shen Xingzhou quickly found the traces of pheasants and quickly moved forward to catch one.

Fu Xiao went to the location she had marked before and dug out Panax notoginseng.

Shen Xingzhou came over with a pheasant in his hand and squatted down to help her dig for medicine.

"By the way, how did your medicinal herb transaction with Uncle Lian go?"

He chuckled, "It's good."

Made a lot of money.

Fu Xiao put the Panax notoginseng into the backpack and asked, "Where did you find the herbal medicine dealer?"

"Most of them are villagers from the mountains. There is very little arable land in their village, and they can't survive by relying on work points. But they guard the mountains. What can they find on the mountains? There are a lot of medicinal herbs and mountain products..."

Fu Xiao frowned: "Purchasing station?"

Shen Xingzhou: "The price given by the purchasing station is too low, and Xiaoxiao, you don't know how much wisdom the working people can have in order to live well. They secretly grow medicinal herbs in the mountains. If a large number of medicinal herbs flow into the purchasing station, they will be discovered."

"After the black market announced that it was buying medicinal herbs, a steady stream of them were delivered to our door. Although some were of poor quality, Uncle Lian said that these were much better than what he bought from the medicinal herb dealers."

"oh,"

The two chatted while digging out all the Panax notoginseng, and then walked away to another place.

We wandered around until noon and stopped, found a stream and ate a grilled fish together. In the afternoon, we did not continue to walk forward, but changed direction and started back.

"Xiaoxiao....you come..."

Fu Xiao, who was tying up pheasants, heard Shen Xingzhou's shout and walked over to find out that he had found a ginseng.

"I'm lucky. I got 30-year-old wild ginseng."

"......"
