Li Nan looked in the direction Zhou Bin pointed and saw a large field of shepherd's purse growing lush green in the distance, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
The two were so happy that they ran over immediately. Zhou Bin started digging wild vegetables with a small shovel, and Li Nan was responsible for picking up the wild vegetables behind him.
Zhou Bin was seen digging a large area in front without stopping, and then turned around to help Li Nan pick wild vegetables.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and soon the basket was filled with wild vegetables.
Zhou Bin wanted to continue digging, but was stopped by Li Nan: "Brother Bin, we have no place to put it. Let's dig next time."
When Zhou Bin looked, he found that the whole basket was already full and there was no room left.
He said reluctantly, "What a pity! There is a large area ahead, and the trees there are growing so well!"
Li Nan smiled and said, "Let's go, leave some for others."
Zhou Bin nodded, rode his bicycle and took Li Nan home.
As soon as they arrived at the main road in the village, they met Aunt Zhao.
She was strolling on the street with her granddaughter in her arms. When she saw Li Nan and Zhou Bin, she asked curiously, "Hey, what are you two doing?"
Zhou Bin said with a smile: "Let's go dig wild vegetables. The wild vegetables over there are very good."
Li Nan asked Zhou Bin to stop and said to Aunt Zhao with a smile: "Aunt, I'll get you some wild vegetables. They're very good."
Aunt Zhao came over and took a look at the wild vegetables in the basket, praising them repeatedly: "Well, they are not bad and quite tender. I don't want them, I have plenty at home."
When the two men saw that Aunt Zhao didn't want it, they turned around and went back.
When they got home, Zhou Bin and Li Nan took out a large iron basin. They sat under a tree, enjoying the warm spring sun. They picked all the wild vegetables, washed them several times in the large iron basin, and put them in the sun to dry.
Li Nan then started to knead the dough, and when it was ready, the two began to make dumplings together.
What they made today were dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and meat, and they smelled delicious.
By the afternoon, several large plates of dumplings were all wrapped.
This made the two of them very tired, so they sat in the yard to rest.
At this time, the flowers in the yard are blooming, bees and butterflies are playing around, and the yard is full of vitality.
Li Nan snuggled up to Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin didn't say anything. The two of them just sat there silently, enjoying the peaceful days.
Li Nan suddenly said, "Brother Bin, when we get old, we can live like this every day, okay?"
Zhou Bin patted Li Nan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you like, I will sit with you like this every day and do nothing."
Li Nan laughed: "By then, we will probably be too old to walk. You won't be able to go out and look at pretty girls!"
Zhou Bin immediately denied it and said, "Who is looking at the pretty girl? I am only looking at you."
Li Nan chuckled: "I was already old and ugly by then, didn't you despise me?"
Zhou Bin shook his head: "I am the same, as long as you don't despise me."
Li Nan looked at Zhou Bin affectionately: "Brother Bin, I will never dislike you. Without you, I don't know what I would be like."
The two of them gazed affectionately at the flowers on the trees in the distance, their hearts closely pressed together, just like they did more than a decade ago.
Zhou Bin couldn't help but think of the first time he and Li Nan met. At that time, due to health reasons and his family's poverty, he could no longer go to school and worked in the fields all day.
However, due to his poor health, he could often only work half a day, then he would be so tired that he would have to rush home.
It was also a spring day. Zhou Bin had just finished working in the fields and was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but take off his coat, holding it in his hand, and walked back leisurely.
Suddenly, a large field of shepherd's purse appeared in the field ahead, looking particularly tempting.
At that time, his family was extremely poor and they could not even have enough to eat.
Seeing such a large area of wild vegetables, Zhou Bin was overjoyed and immediately rushed in.
He desperately used a hoe to dig wild vegetables in the ground, and then put them all on his coat, intending to dig more wild vegetables to take home.
Just when he was digging hard, he suddenly heard sobbing sounds behind him.
Zhou Bin was very surprised and looked back quickly. He found a thin and weak girl standing behind him with tears on her face.
Zhou Bin was a little surprised, so he quickly put down the hoe in his hand and walked over to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
This girl is Li Nan. She is holding a basket and a small shovel in her hands, but her face looks very sad.
Li Nan just cried and didn't say anything.
Zhou Bin was a little at a loss. He didn't know what was wrong with this girl.
After a long while, Li Nan timidly said, "I saw this piece of vegetable first. I just brought the basket over and you dug it up."
Zhou Bin was stunned. He didn't expect that this thing in the wild had an owner?
Zhou Bin immediately asked: "This, is this yours?"
Li Nan nodded: "Yes, it's mine. I'm going to dig up some wild vegetables and sell them for money."
Zhou Bin was unwilling when he heard this. There are really all kinds of people. I have been digging for a long time, and you say you want to dig it up and sell it for money. It is really too much.
But seeing the tear-stained face of the girl, Zhou Bin's heart softened. He asked, "What do you sell the money for?"
Li Nan hesitated for a long time and said shyly: "Yes, it works."
When Zhou Bin heard this, he realized that this person was still unwilling to tell him, which was not acceptable.
So he said, "Tell me what you are doing, or I won't give you these dishes."
Li Nan stared at Zhou Bin for a long time with her eyes wide open, and suddenly burst into tears: "I, I have to pay tuition! Now that you know I can't afford it, you're happy, right?"
