As soon as Ge Xiuxiu saw Qin Wan's beautiful figure, a brilliant smile instantly bloomed on her face. She greeted Qin Wan happily:
"Oh, Wanwan, what a coincidence! I never thought you would come out today!"
Hearing this familiar and kind voice, Qin Wan couldn't help but smile:
"Yeah, Xiuxiu, it's quite a coincidence. Judging from the way you look, you're here to pick mushrooms too, right?"
Ge Xiuxiu nodded in agreement hurriedly, and at the same time walked quickly to Qin Wan's side, took her arm affectionately and said:
"Wanwan, since we've met by chance, why don't you come with us? With you around, we'll definitely be able to pick lots of big, delicious mushrooms!"
When she said this, Ge Xiuxiu felt very happy.
Because she had always gotten a lot of attention from Qin Wan when she went out with her on business or for fun, even her mother-in-law said that since she became friends with Qin Wan, her husband had benefited greatly in the army. She repeatedly urged her to cultivate a good relationship with Qin Wan. Unconsciously, she also regarded love as her own lucky star.
At this moment, she was so happy to invite Qin Wan to join their small team that she didn't notice that Lu Yu, who was standing beside her, had a very gloomy face.
However, Mrs. Liu, who was standing by, saw all of this.
Seeing Lu Yu's face becoming increasingly ugly, Sister Liu quickly reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Ge Xiuxiu's clothes, lowering her voice to remind him:
"Shh...Xiu Xiu, stop talking! Didn't you see that Staff Officer Lu's face is almost as black as the bottom of a pot?"
After being reminded by Sister Liu, Ge Xiuxiu finally woke up and looked towards Lu Yu. As expected, she saw Lu Yu with his arms folded across his chest, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on her. His expression was as cold as ice, as if he would explode with anger at any moment.
At the same time, Wang Yanhong also covered her mouth with her hands and laughed out loud, as clear and sweet as a silver bell. Along with her laughter, she also did not forget to tease Xiuxiu:
"Haha, Xiuxiu, look at what you've done! Qin Wan and Staff Officer Lu are a perfect match made in heaven, and yet you insist on interfering. Are you deliberately trying to tear this loving couple apart?"
At this moment, the people around them burst into laughter after hearing these words, and joined in the jokes. Qin Wan, who was in the center of everyone's attention, couldn't help but feel a shy blush on her face, as beautiful as a ripe apple.
However, even though he felt a little embarrassed, Qin Wan still showed extraordinary generosity and propriety.
The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a charming smile, and she explained to everyone in a clear and pleasant voice:
"Oh my, my dear sisters, please stop teasing me! I'm so sorry, Xiuxiu. I really can't accompany you to pick those cute little mushrooms today."
As she spoke, Qin Wan's bright eyes inadvertently glanced at Lu Yu beside her, and then she continued:
"Look, I went through so much trouble to convince this handsome man to come with me here. If I abandon him now, I'm afraid he won't lend a hand if I need help with something else in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Wan turned her head slightly and gazed at the man standing beside her with affection.
When their eyes met, they smiled knowingly. The deep affection seemed to flow out of each other's eyes, which was really enviable.
Seeing how inseparable they were, Ge Xiuxiu, who was standing by, rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and said with a mocking smile:
"Well, if you don't want to play with us, just say so. Why rack your brains to find all these excuses? Come on, go away! Go on, go on, don't disturb our happy mushroom picking."
After saying that, she waved her hands, trying to drive Qin Wan and Lu Yu out like chasing chickens.
Qin Wan took Lu Yu's hand with a smile on her face and left quickly.
The two walked farther and farther away, until they were a long distance away, but Ge Xiuxiu's loud voice could still be vaguely heard.
All I heard was Ge Xiuxiu talking incessantly to Wang Yanhong and Sister Liu:
"I'm not lying! Xiao Qin is so lucky! If she could join us today, she would definitely have a full basket of harvest!
Oh, what a pity! It's all because of that Lu Yu who kept pestering her. If he wasn't in the way, I would have dragged Xiao Qin over to our side to pick fruits together.
After hearing this, Lu Yu and Qin Wan couldn't help but smile at each other, nodded in understanding, and then tacitly quickened their pace together.
They knew that if they continued to pick fruits nearby, they might run into Ge Xiuxiu and others again, and the situation would definitely be very embarrassing.
Then they looked at each other, and without any words, they headed towards the mountains in unison.
Not long after, the two successfully arrived at the inner mountain area.
The inner mountains are rarely visited by people, and are full of fresh and plump mushrooms, including pine mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, morels, and chicken mushrooms, which sway gently in the breeze in clusters, and the lush green wild vegetables seem to be waving to them.
The two men were very excited about so many mushrooms and wild vegetables. They quickly put down the bamboo baskets on their backs and started picking them to their heart's content.
Soon, their bamboo baskets were filled to the brim and almost overflowing.
However, Lu Yu and Qin Wan were not satisfied with this and continued to search for more treasures in the mountains and forests.
Hard work pays off. In addition to a large number of mushrooms and wild vegetables, they also accidentally captured several lively pheasants and rabbits!
These trophies undoubtedly added more joy and sense of accomplishment to this journey into the mountains.
Spring is the time when animals reproduce and thrive, and the two men could have hunted more hares and pheasants, but he showed mercy and only hunted a few to satisfy his cravings.
Qin Wan quickly put the wild rabbits and pheasants into her own space, and then she and Lu Yu set out on the journey home together.
Along the way, the two walked briskly, and soon they saw the familiar door of their home.
At this time, the four children in the family were feeling sleepy after playing. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu were worried that if the children fell asleep at this moment, they would have difficulty falling asleep at night, so they were racking their brains to coax them to continue playing.
At this time, when several people saw Qin Wan and Lu Yu coming back from the mountain, their eyes lit up, and the children suddenly lost their sleepiness and rushed to the door one by one like little cannonballs.
