In the afternoon, Lu Xiao went to work, and Jiang Wanwan went to the back mountain as she had nothing to do at home.
Stewing meat and steaming buns consumes a lot of firewood, and the autumn harvest is coming soon. In order to ensure Lu Xiao's nutrition, she has to cook meat, so she wants to collect more firewood when she has time.
This mountain is close to the village, and people go in and out to collect firewood and wild fruits and game when they have nothing to do. There are few small animals, so there is basically no danger.
While collecting firewood, she would also pick up some wild fruits. These wild fruits taste a bit sour, but they are good for making jam or fruit wine, so she wanted to try it.
It was inconvenient to carry a backpack when collecting firewood, so Jiang Wanwan took a small cloth bag with her when she went out. She put any edible wild fruits she saw into the bag and picked them up as she walked. She walked farther and farther without realizing it, until she was hit on the head by a chestnut.
Newton discovered gravity after being hit by an apple, but when people are hit by chestnuts, they can only invent sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up. Chestnuts are not only delicious but also can satisfy your hunger. Even if you don't stir-fry them with sugar, they are still delicious when boiled in plain water.
This chestnut tree grows in a remote place, and probably few people come here. There are many chestnuts of different sizes under the tree, and I quickly picked up a cloth bag.
There were still a lot of chestnuts on the ground. Jiang Wanwan now regretted that she didn't bring enough bags. She thought of taking a few bags out from the two-bedroom apartment, but suddenly realized that if she could take things out of the two-bedroom apartment, could she temporarily put the things outside into the two-bedroom apartment?
Jiang Wanwan looked around, carried the small cloth bag filled with chestnuts into the two-bedroom apartment, and when she came out, the chestnuts were already there.
Done!
This discovery made her very happy. She took out a few bags from the two-bedroom apartment, picked up a full bag and put another bag in until the floor was as clean as if it had been swept.
Seeing that the bundle of firewood he had picked up nearby was not light, he threw it directly into the two-bedroom apartment and walked back with only a small bag in his hand so that he could pick up wild fruits at any time.
It’s getting late and Lu Xiao is about to get off work, so he can have chestnut rice for dinner.
Just as she was thinking, a person came out from the side and saw her face full of surprise, "Jiang Zhiqing, I meet you again."
Jiang Wanwan looked at the person in front of her and nodded, "Yeah, what a coincidence."
Wu Xiaoyu looked at the bag in Jiang Wanwan's hand and said, "Jiang Zhiqing, are you here to pick wild fruits in the mountains? I just happened to pick up some small wild dates here. They're a little sour, though. If Jiang Zhiqing doesn't mind, I'll give them to you."
After saying that, he stuffed the bag into Jiang Wanwan's hand without further ado, "Also, thank you for the plaster."
"You're welcome." Jiang Wanwan really didn't think it was a big deal. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, it was hard to refuse her, so she thanked her for the little sour dates.
"It's getting late. You should go back too. Professor Wu will get worried if you stay too late."
Jiang Wanwan also reminded her that it was obvious that the two of them depended on each other, and Professor Wu cared very much about his daughter.
Wu Xiaoyu originally felt distant from Jiang Wanwan because she was quiet. After all, they had special identities, so it was understandable that the villagers were unwilling to pay attention to them.
When she heard Jiang Wanwan admonishing her and mentioning her father, her eyes sparkled and she said, "Okay, I'll be right back."
Jiang Wanwan and she were going a different way. After saying everything they needed to say, they were about to continue down the mountain when Wu Xiaoyu called out to them again, "Jiang Zhiqing, don't go this way anymore. There are people ahead."
The road she was going to take was the same one Wu Xiaoyu had just taken, which was also her way home.
Puzzled, Wu Xiaoyu looked back with a strange expression on his face. He mumbled, "It seems to be the village's second-in-command. I heard that he's a thief and doesn't do any good. We'd better stay away from him."
Jiang Wanwan understood. She had also heard of the reputation of the second-rate gangster. "Thank you. I will take a detour."
After hearing her say this, Wu Xiaoyu felt relieved.
After Wu Xiaoyu left, Jiang Wanwan took a look at the road ahead. Although she could go home by taking a detour, it was too far. The thugs Wu Xiaoyu had just met had probably left by now. Besides, she had a two-bedroom apartment, and she could hide in the two-bedroom apartment if anything happened.
After figuring it out, I didn't hesitate any longer and walked down the mountain along the road. However, after walking less than two hundred meters, I heard a sound behind the bushes.
It was a suppressed yet joyful sound, even more exciting than the soundtrack of a certain foreign movie.
Jiang Wanwan finally understood why Wu Xiaoyu looked so strange.
Wow, what's going on?
Erhunzi is a well-known bachelor in the village. In broad daylight, under the bright sky, Jiang Wanwan felt that she would be sorry for the people and her own curiosity if she didn't take a look.
I crouched down and walked closer under the cover of the trees, and the sounds became clearer and clearer.
"Am I awesome? You scared the birds away. Look at you. How long has it been since your man touched you?"
"How is it? Is this more powerful?"
"Speak up, shout it out. Tell me, your man has been called Tiezhu for half his life. How does he compare to me?"
Another incoherent female voice rang out, "Of course you are the most powerful, my sweetheart, please kill me..."
"Don't mention that idiot. If his name hadn't been Tiezhu, I wouldn't have fallen for him. But he turned out to be Mianzhu. Oh, my good man..."
………
Jiang Wanwan clicked her tongue and shook her head, then looked away.
The world is going downhill!
I feel a little regretful about coming here. It's too eye-catching. I have to go home quickly to see Lu Xiao and cleanse my eyes.
They went down the mountain quietly, and when they were almost at the foot of the mountain, they took some firewood and chestnuts out of the two-bedroom apartment.
Carrying firewood on my shoulders and chestnuts in my hands, I saw people leaving work as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain.
What happened at noon today was a big deal. No matter whether people were watching or not, everyone knew after half a day that Jiang Wanwan and Lu Xiao had obtained their marriage certificate. Even the branch secretary and the team leader testified for them and stayed at Lu's house for lunch.
At this moment, my opinion of Jiang Wanwan has also changed a lot.
Animals all have a sense of territory, and so do humans. Jiang Wanwan was originally an educated youth, and even though they ate and worked together, the villagers of the Red Star Brigade still felt a sense of distance.
Now that she is married to someone from their village, she is a real member of the Red Star Brigade, and they seem much closer.
Look at what Jiang Wanwan is carrying on her shoulders and holding in her hands. Doesn’t she seem to be living the same life as them?
Many people tried to say hello to her, and Jiang Wanwan responded with a smile, whether she knew them or not, which made those people have a better impression of her.
Not far away, sister-in-law Zhang Xiu Lan was walking among several women with her two sons.
Someone nudged her with their elbow and said, "Hey, Xiulan, your third son has really made a name for himself. He married such a beautiful educated youth. I heard her family is very rich. It seems that good times are coming for your family."
"That's right. I went to watch the fun at noon today. I could smell the meat buns from far away. They were so delicious. We didn't have meat buns during the Chinese New Year. I heard that the branch secretary got drunk at their house at noon, with wine and meat. Your sister-in-law is really generous."
Zhang Xiu Lan had heard this almost eight times this afternoon. Everyone thought that her family had gotten a great deal, but the truth was that she hadn't gotten a penny of benefit at all, and her third brother's wife even asked for one dollar as a recognition fee. She was so angry that she almost died.
