Chapter 129 Who understands Yu Songyan at this moment...?
Who could understand the stirrings of Yu Songyan's heart at that moment?
My heart was pounding, and even the tips of my ears felt burning hot.
He fell into Qi Yanlian's captivating gaze, the watch on his wrist feeling heavy. He felt as if he were walking on clouds, his whole being floating and sinking, losing his balance.
He will remember Qi Yan for a lifetime.
He liked Qi Yan, and he also liked watches.
In fact, Yu Songyan is quite wealthy now. He made several windfalls with Jiajia, accumulating a lot of gold and silver. He also amassed a considerable amount of money after his home was raided several times.
He can afford to buy a watch himself.
But can something you bought yourself be the same as something someone else gave you as a gift?
They're different.
Qi Yan smiled as he looked at Yu Songyan. People like good looks, and Yu Songyan really looked good at that moment.
So he really likes watches.
Yu Jiajia wandered around and found a five- or six-year-old ginseng. Although it was a bit small, Yu Jiajia didn't mind. She tied the small ginseng with a red rope and carefully dug it out.
He Zhenzhen was seeing wild ginseng for the first time and was very surprised. "There really is ginseng on the mountain!!!"
Yu Jiajia: "Yes, not only ginseng, but also lingzhi. This is for you." She placed the small ginseng tied with a red string into He Zhenzhen's hand.
He Zhenzhen was immediately at a loss. "I, I don't want it, you keep it." She then returned the ginseng to Yu Jiajia.
Since Yu Jiajia had already given it away, she wouldn't take it back. She told He Zhenzhen how to process the ginseng: "Dry it in a well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight. Remember to turn the ginseng regularly to ensure it dries evenly. Once it's completely dry, you can store it and use it when needed. Okay, hurry up and put it away. There might be more ginseng later!"
We didn't find ginseng, but we did find some Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff face.
They definitely need to be picked.
He Zhenzhen: "...There really is a Ganoderma lucidum."
Yu Songchuan eagerly offered to pick them himself.
He looked at the location and decided that he didn't need to wear a safety rope. He could just climb over there, as there were footholds on the cliff.
Yu Jiamin retorted sarcastically, "Does she think she's invincible?"
Yu Jiajia also said, "That's right, the fifth brother can fly. If he doesn't land firmly, he can flap his wings and fly up."
Yu Songchuan:......
Because of Yu Songchuan's arrogance, it was Yu Jiamin who ended up going down to collect Ganoderma lucidum.
He Yuanzheng and Lu Chenzhou felt that such a dangerous task should not be done by a young girl; they could all go and pick Ganoderma lucidum while tied with ropes.
Yu Jiamin said, "What? You can do it, but I can't?"
She was calm and aloof, her voice completely flat, but He Yuanzheng immediately changed his tune: "Yes! Comrade Jiamin, please!"
Lu Chenzhou handed the rope to Yu Jiamin and told her to tie the noose herself.
After Yu Jiamin tied the double rope, she threw the other two ends to Yu Songqing. Yu Songqing then tied the rope around his waist, retreated to a safe area, and assumed a horse stance to support himself against the rope.
He Zhenzhen looked at her third sister picking Ganoderma lucidum, and then at her eldest brother holding the rope. She was quite shocked.
Yu Jiamin went down to pick Ganoderma lucidum, and Yu Jiajia watched from the side, thinking that her third sister was so cool!
Yu Songchuan squatted down beside Yu Jiajia, protecting her from slipping and falling in.
Yu Jiajia: "Songchuan, never put yourself in danger. We'll worry about you."
Yu Songchuan looked at the cliff, which wasn't particularly dangerous. Even if he slipped once, he could still grab on. But his third and fourth sisters were already angry. He honestly said, "I won't do it again next time. I promise."
Yu Jiajia was satisfied. She took out a White Rabbit milk candy from her bag and stuffed it into Yu Songchuan's hand: "Chuanchuan, I believe in you."
Yu Songchuan peeled a White Rabbit candy and popped it into his mouth. He remembered those words well; even if he wanted to be on the safe side, he still gave himself double insurance.
He Yuanzheng thought to himself, "This kid, there are still people who can deal with him."
Yu Songchuan is a genius. He has excellent physical strength and a quick mind. Such a person is always exceptionally confident, and he has never suffered because of his overconfidence.
People see that he is young and will not deliberately set a trap for him.
But the world is vast and there are many talented people; sooner or later he will stumble because of this.
He Yuanzheng was also planning to trick him, to warn him not to be too confident. His two older sisters managed to put him in his place with just a few words.
He watched Yu Jiamin climbing the cliff to pick Ganoderma lucidum.
She is physically strong and agile, so picking Ganoderma lucidum is a piece of cake for her.
Cheng Xiuying dared to hold a time bomb and throw it into the sky.
Yu Songqing is now the most skilled engineer in Qingshan County. I don't know about his physical fitness, but he is very strong.
Yu Songyan also had a very successful career at the food factory.
Needless to say, Yu Jiajia is a darling of the heavens! This involves metaphysics!
Isn't the Yu family a bit too abnormal?
After Yu Jiamin finished picking all the Ganoderma lucidum, she climbed up using a rope, and everyone rushed over to see the Ganoderma lucidum.
There were a total of twenty-one Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, some large and some small. The largest was as big as an enamel bowl, while the smallest was the size of a child's fist. Everyone decided to divide them up when they got back.
Although my second brother and sister Qi didn't come, they were busy grilling meat, so we should share it too.
They wandered around outside for almost two hours before heading back. They encountered two more wild rabbits, one of which had a large belly and was probably pregnant. So they didn't attack and let the two rabbits escape.
However, they encountered another deer, and Yu Songchuan immediately darted out to chase after it, returning shortly with the deer in his arms.
Yu Songchuan was really happy. He went up the mountain with his fourth sister. The mountain was full of good things.
If we encountered pheasants or rabbits again, we ignored them.
Wild goats and wild deer are enough to eat.
It's too hot, and too many things can't be stored.
When everyone returned, they all keenly sensed the strange atmosphere between Qi Yan and Yu Songyan.
The two chatted and laughed.
The Yu siblings' gazes were all fixed on Yu Songyan's right wrist, where he was wearing a stainless steel watch inlaid with diamonds, which shone brightly in the light, almost blinding them.
Yu Songyan now has a watch.
This watch was a gift from Qi Yan.
They'd only been gone for two hours, and Qi Yan was already wearing a watch?
Yu Songyan reintroduced himself, "Hello, I'm Qi Yan's boyfriend."
Qi Yan then said, "Hello, this is my boyfriend, Yu Songyan."
Everyone: !!!
Yu Jiamin and Yu Jiajia were both very happy. Qi Yan was very capable and easy to get along with. With such a member joining the Yu family, the family would only become more harmonious.
Yu Songqing was incredulous. His second son had quietly gotten together with Factory Director Qi, and he even had a watch?! A watch, a watch, a watch… He couldn’t take his eyes off his second son’s watch. It was really nice.
Yu Songchuan stared at the watch on his second brother's wrist, thinking that he would also find someone who could give him a watch in the future.
He really wants to wear a watch too.
No way, waiting for his girlfriend to give him a watch would take forever. He wants to do something great again so he can be rewarded with a watch.
He Yuanzheng seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Chenzhou was somewhat envious; it was so fast.
Qi Yan has only been here for a few days.
Yu Songyan had already rendered the mutton fat. Everyone had returned, and he began to stir-fry the shrimp and crab.
I'm going to stir-fry two kinds: one sweet and sour, and one spicy.
Qi Yan looked at Yu Songyan with admiration. She could eat anything, even insects when there was no food, but she was happy to eat the food she liked.
The whole roasted lamb is cooked through, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! It smells amazing!
He Yuanzheng first cut off the two front legs, cut them into large pieces, and then sprinkled a large portion of them with mixed chili powder.
Qi Yan was already full after eating a lot of meat, and was looking at the things Yu Jiajia had brought back.
A roe deer weighing over 60 kilograms!
Count twenty Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms.
There is also a ginseng that has already been given to He Zhenzhen.
In just half a day, we found so many good things on the mountain.
This luck is truly incredible.
The dishes aren't even cooked yet, let's distribute the Ganoderma lucidum first!
There are 21 Ganoderma lucidum in total. Everyone chooses one. Since Yu Jiajia found it and Yu Jiamin picked it, the two of them choose first, one for each person. After everyone has chosen, we will have another round of selection.
In the end, everything that was left belonged to Yu Jiajia.
The order was determined by drawing lots.
Yu Jiajia and Yu Jiamin both chose the largest one.
At this point, there's no need to be modest.
Yu Songyan was extremely lucky and drew number 1, so he got to choose first after his two younger sisters.
He gave Qi Yan both a larger and a smaller Ganoderma lucidum, asking Qi Yan to keep them.
Qi Yan was very pleased and gave all four of them to Yu Songyan to process.
After the lamb offal was cooked, everyone started eating.
Yu Songyan brought chopsticks with him, and after sharing the chopsticks, they started eating.
Yu Jiajia picked up a piece of mutton that was roasted to a very crispy texture. The mutton was quite tender and not gamey at all. The outside was roasted to a crispy texture and very chewy, while the inside was very tender. Coated with seasoned chili powder, it was incredibly fragrant.
She also tried some small shrimp and crabs, the shells of which were fried until crispy enough to chew. Although there wasn't much meat, the spicy and numbing flavor made her tongue tingle, and she couldn't stop eating.
The lamb offal was quite delicious; it was cleaned very well and they used plenty of oil, so there was almost no rancid smell. However, Yu Jiajia still preferred lamb meat, so she only tried a small amount of the stir-fried lamb offal and then stopped eating.
Everyone had a big appetite, and they ate so much that they finished the whole sheep.
It's blissful to see big chunks of meat on display; it's even happier when the meat looks delicious.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
We weren't in a hurry to leave in the afternoon. We came to the mountain to have fun. Now that we have plenty of supplies, it's not easy to bring more game home, so this is just right.
Feeling sleepy after eating and drinking her fill, Yu Jiajia yawned. She was about to fall asleep if she slumped over. She then ran off to catch shrimp and crabs. When she got to the stream, she took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trousers, and put the lunchbox containing the food into the stream as a trap.
Although shrimp and crab have little meat, they are delicious. They are fried until crispy and crunchy, making them a great snack and they can also be stored for a long time.
It can also be used to make shrimp paste and crab paste.
He Zhenzhen also ran over and waded through the water with Yu Jiajia.
She said, "Jiajia, I might not be able to come back often in the future. I might only be able to come back during holidays. Can I send you a letter?"
Yu Jiajia: "Why would you ask such a question? We're good friends, of course we should keep in touch! We can also call each other, the factory has phones! The military must have phones too!"
He Zhenzhen smiled happily, "Yes! Let's communicate, let's make phone calls."
Yu Jiajia held He Zhenzhen's hand and said, "Zhenzhen, no matter what happens in the army, good or bad, you have to tell me. If it's good, we'll be happy together; if it's bad, we'll solve it together."
He Zhenzhen nodded heavily, "Yes."
Freshly caught shrimp and crabs are fried in mutton oil, with plenty of scallions, ginger, and garlic, plus chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, making them spicy, numbing, and crunchy.
The fried pieces will weigh five or six pounds.
It can also be eaten as a side dish.
Yu Songyan also made a separate non-spicy version for Qi Yan as a snack.
It's time to pack up and head back.
They didn't take the same route they came by, but instead took a different path, where they came across an old mountain god temple.
Perhaps because it is located deep in the mountains, it has not been vandalized, but because no one comes to worship anymore, it appears very desolate.
The Yu family is very superstitious, and Qi Yan and the others are no longer atheists, so they went in to take a look.
Of course, the main reason was to go in and see what good stuff was inside.
Inside the main house was a mountain god enshrined, its body covered in cobwebs. The Yu siblings cleaned away all the cobwebs, and Yu Jiajia even placed an aluminum lunchbox containing spicy shrimp and crab on the altar. Yu Songqing also placed a goat on it.
He Yuanzheng also put the roe on the plate.
Lu Chenzhou then put a rabbit and two pheasants on the plate.
The mountain god will eat what he can, and if he can't eat it, they'll take it with them later.
There was definitely no incense, candles, or paper money.
No need to say anything, just understand.
Yu Songchuan looked at the beam in the temple and wanted to go up and see if there was anything there. He jumped up and reached the beam. With an upward pull, he was up, but there was nothing on the beam.
He jumped down again.
His sudden movement caused the missing leg of the offering table to shake violently, and a broken bowl on it fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
Yu Songchuan exclaimed "Holy crap!" and grinned, "What does this mean? Are you telling us to dig it up and take a look?"
Qi Yan: ? ? ?
He immediately started digging, and the Yu siblings all came to help. Lu Chenzhou and He Yuanzheng also took out their entrenching tools and started digging.
With everyone's joint efforts, when they dug to a depth of two meters, they found a rotten wooden box. The wood was completely decayed, and inside was a pile of Yuan Shikai silver dollars, probably more than a hundred, with about twenty small yellow croakers at the bottom.
Because of the passage of time, the Yuan Shikai silver dollar and the small yellow croaker are very dark, but they are still gold and silver!
Qi Yan thought it was outrageous enough that they just randomly dug somewhere, but what was even more outrageous was that there was actually gold and silver inside.
Yu Songchuan grinned, "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God! You're too kind, giving us gold and silver. Well then, we won't stand on ceremony, we'll divide it up!"
The Yu family was very happy, but not ecstatic.
He Yuanzheng felt that the Yu family must be constantly finding gold.
He's never picked up money in his entire life! Good heavens, aren't you being a little too discriminatory?
Yuan Datou was distributed according to quantity, one to each person, ten to each person, and those that couldn't be distinguished were given to Yu Jiajia, who received sixteen.
Each person gets two small yellow croakers, and the extra two are given to Yu Jiajia.
Qi Yan looked completely bewildered, holding the silver dollar and the small yellow croaker. Yu Songyan handed his own silver dollar and small yellow croaker to Qi Yan, telling her to keep them.
Qi Yan was even more confused.
While gold and silver are indeed unusable now, they can still circulate on the black market, and everyone knows that sooner or later, gold and silver will still be valuable.
Are you just going to give it to her like this?
This is nothing like Ganoderma lucidum.
Yu Songyan couldn't help but ruffle Qi Yan's hair, "From now on, you're in charge of our family, you can keep the baby hidden away."
Qi Yan looked up at Yu Songyan; she couldn't understand him at all.
Surely it's not that he likes watches but not real gold and silver?
Is this possible?
No, that's not possible.
Qi Yan's heart skipped a few beats uncontrollably.
Yu Songchuan was dumbfounded. Is dating really this scary? His second brother actually gave away gold and silver to someone else. Is that even possible?
In the past, this would have been impossible!
How could my cunning second brother be so generous?
Is this the allure of watches?
Even if someone gives him a watch, he can't give her the gold and silver; he'll have to find a way to get the other person's gold and silver back.
He definitely has to manage the money.
Yu Songqing carefully put away her treasure and also thought Yu Songyan was really strange. He became love-struck as soon as he had a partner.
Yu Jiamin and Yu Jiajia both thought their second brother was very clever and really good at charming girls.
Yu Songyan was certainly not love-struck; he loved himself, he loved money, he loved power. Did he have that much gold and silver? Not really. He valued profit and was also good at making comparisons and trade-offs.
He was happy to use these things to make Qi Yan happy.
He Zhenzhen had never seen these things before. They were gold and silver, and this was their color. They felt heavy and substantial in her hands, and she didn't know where to put them.
Yu Jiajia whispered, "These need to be hidden well, in a very safe place, so no one knows about them. We can't spend them now, but they'll definitely be valuable later."
He Zhenzhen reached out and handed the silver dollar and the small yellow croaker to Yu Jiajia, saying, "Jiajia, please hide them for me."
Yu Jiajia smiled, "Zhenzhen, keep it yourself and don't carry it with you. If you really don't know where to hide it, you can talk to Grandma He and give some more to her. Older people like gold and silver. Zhenzhen is so capable, she won't be short of these things in the future."
Grandma He doted on Zhenzhen very much.
He Zhenzhen nodded emphatically. She knew that Jiajia was doing it all for her own good, and she carefully hid the things in her pocket.
Lu Chenzhou held a large yellow croaker and a silver dollar in his hand. He had quite a few of these things and wanted to give them to Jiajia.
They searched everywhere else, hoping to find something else good, but unfortunately, they found nothing. However, there were quite a few wood ear mushrooms and fungi on the rotten wood in the backyard.
Since we've come all this way, let's pick all the wood ear mushrooms and other fungi.
