Chapter 434 I hope you live a long life
"You go that way, I'll go this way."
Si Zhuo understood and wanted to chase him away.
"Why do you think I followed you up to these mountains?"
Qiu Manman said with a bitter face, "I won't be in danger, and I won't eat poisonous mushrooms, don't worry."
Just as she finished speaking, Qiu Manman caught a glimpse of a bulge out of the corner of her eye.
Pull aside the pine needles and you'll see a fresh mushroom underneath.
"Si Zhuo, look at what kind of fungus this is."
Si Zhuo pondered for a long time: "Life is a one-click restart."
Qiu Manman also understood.
This is a poisonous mushroom.
"You have some vision. I'm just testing you." Qiu Manman didn't recognize this either. When she heard Si Zhuo say that it was a life-restarting moment after eating it, she raised her foot and stepped on its head.
"This kind of poisonous mushroom cannot be picked up by others who don't know the mushrooms. It's better for me to destroy it."
"Here is one."
Si Zhuo squatted down.
He started by picking up a porcini mushroom.
Qiu Manman clutched the small basket in her hand and said, "Then I'll go over there and pick some. You can take your time here. We can only pick a few mushrooms together."
"I want to pick up some more and bring them back to Beijing in a few days."
"Hubby, I believe in your luck. You can definitely fulfill my little wish."
"It's no use flattering me. I'll follow you today." Si Zhuo wouldn't be fooled.
Qiu Manman: "Then we are no more than five meters apart, so you should be relieved, right?"
"Can."
Si Zhuo looked at her back as she ran forward excitedly and smiled.
Qiu Manman has watched too many videos online and is particularly envious of three types of experiences.
Picking mushrooms, rushing to the sea, and trimming donkey hooves.
Wait, trim the donkey's hooves.
It's a physical job, so just watch. If she does it herself, she will definitely be exhausted.
Picking mushrooms is a very novel experience for Qiu Manman.
There are not only wild mushrooms but also some medicinal herbs on the mountains of Xinghua Village.
Along the way, Qiu Manman met some people who were digging herbs.
I picked half a basket of mushrooms.
Qiu Manman wiped the sweat off her face and said, "I'm so tired, but I'm very happy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Zhuo took out a wet tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped her face.
"Si Zhuo, since when did you become so considerate and always carry wet wipes with you?"
"Who am I doing this for?"
"I know, I know. It's for me." Qiu Manman stood on tiptoe and gave him a rewarding kiss.
Si Zhuo suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised, "Come on, only now do you know how to please me."
"This is not a flattery, I just happen to want to do this."
"It's almost time. We should go back down the mountain to wash the mushrooms. I have work to take care of in Beijing later, so don't run around," Si Zhuo wiped her dirty face and leaned over to kiss her.
"Where can I go? No way."
Qiu Manman went down the mountain happily.
The harvest from picking mushrooms is quite bountiful.
Xiao Shi and her parents each picked up a basket full of fruits.
Including Qiu Manman and Si Zhuo’s, it would be about eight or nine kilograms.
Xiao Shi: "Sister Manman, please wash these wild mushrooms and I will take care of them. I will bring them back to Beijing in a few days."
"Okay." Qiu Manman picked up a green lily that was almost the size of her palm.
"This color really changes color with just one touch."
Xiao Shi responded, "That's why it has such a vivid name."
“Yes.”
After returning home, Xiao Shi fetched a bucket of well water to wash the mushrooms.
Qiu Manman also squatted aside and used a clean toothbrush to scrub the dirt off the mushrooms.
"Every time around this season, many people get poisoned from eating wild mushrooms."
"I calculated before that it only takes 15 minutes to drive from my home to the hospital. It's very close to the hospital."
"Then I feel relieved." Qiu Manman continued to wash the mushrooms.
Xiao Shi: "I remember last year, my mother got poisoned by eating mushrooms that were not thoroughly cooked. Before going to the hospital, she didn't even suspect that it was the mushrooms that were to blame."
"After the symptoms of poisoning eased a little, I fried myself another bowl."
"I got poisoned again after eating it."
"After I was poisoned, I didn't suspect it was mushrooms. I told her, but she didn't believe it. She told me with certainty—"
Xiaoshi's mother: "I have been eating wild mushrooms for 30 years and never got poisoned. It is impossible to get poisoned."
Xiao Shi burst into laughter.
"The real master has appeared and is here to tell his story."
Qiu Manman: "What happened next?"
"Ah... Then I saw my great-grandmother standing by my bed."
Xiao Shi, Qiu Manman: "..."
"My great-grandmother asked me why I didn't go to her to burn paper money because she had no money left after starting a business in the underworld."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm sorry, Mom. I really couldn't help it."
Qiu Manman couldn't help laughing either, she tried to hold it back.
Xiaoshi's mother continued, "Xiaoshi's father was busy outside. When he heard me say that I had seen my great-grandmother, he immediately rushed back and took me to the hospital;"
Xiaoshi has never been poisoned by eating mushrooms.
"Mom, I want to interview you. What does it feel like to have mushroom poisoning?"
"My head is dizzy, I feel a little nauseous, I feel very sleepy, I want to sleep but I can't, and my heart rate is a little fast."
"I remember my lips were a little numb."
Xiaoshi's mother doesn't want to try again in this life.
Even being poisoned could not stop their love for wild mushrooms.
It’s just not cooked. You can still eat it next time if you cook it.
"We Jiangzhou people, as long as we can eat wild mushrooms without dying from them, we will eat them to death."
The main point is the spirit of never giving up.
The one cooking tonight is Xiaoshi's father.
There was a constant aroma coming from the kitchen, which made Qiu Manman very hungry.
Qiu Manman gritted her teeth and went upstairs to find Si Zhuo.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Qiu Manman raised her voice and called out "husband" in a gentle and pleasant voice, then threw herself into his arms.
Si Zhuo suddenly turned towards her.
There were the faces of several other company CEOs on the screen, and Qiu Manman suddenly felt uneasy.
【I will never be happy again.】
The impatience in Si Zhuo's eyes dissipated a little because of her appearance.
"Are you aware of my embarrassment?"
"You keep busy, I'll just take a look."
Qiu Manman pretended to be calm and stood up.
At an angle that those people couldn't see, Qiu Manman grabbed Si Zhuo's thigh and made comments with her mouth.
[If you don't even remind me, I'll lose face if it gets out.]
[It is true that men who work hard are very attractive. 】
【I’ll kiss you hard later. 】
Qiu Manman was muttering to herself, she just wanted to kiss Si Zhuo on the mouth.
Si Zhuo was able to remain calm at first.
After listening to a few more sentences, I couldn't control myself anymore. The time displayed on the tablet in the upper right corner passed very slowly.
Several shareholders in the video were chattering non-stop.
"It's getting late, let's go eat first."
He ended the video conference first.
Qiu Manman: "Then let's go downstairs to eat."
"What to eat? I'll eat you first."
"???"
[No, I'm not a fan.]
Qiu Manman was held down and kissed by him for a long time, and her breathing became uneven.
"You can only kiss here. I want to eat later."
"I just want a kiss, too."
"Really?" Qiu Manman looked down.
Si Zhuo covered her eyes and said, "If you look any further, something bad will happen."
"Humph, man."
[Damn it, my legs are so weak from your kiss. ]
Si Zhuo suddenly stood up and helped Qiu Manman who was leaning on him: "Let's go downstairs to eat."
He took a few steps and found that Qiu Manman was not following him.
"Will you not come down with me?"
Qiu Manman touched the tip of her nose to hide her embarrassment, "I want to see the scenery outside the second floor. Don't worry about me, you go first."
Si Zhuo did not do as she wished and turned back, "Weak legs?"
"It's so annoying! How is it possible that my legs go weak after you kissed me twice? You are quite confident in yourself." Qiu Manman said stubbornly.
Si Zhuo said in a hoarse voice, "Admit it."
“…”
【Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.】
I admitted it in my heart but not out loud.
Qiu Manman felt that she was still wise.
Xiao Shi called out at the door, "Sister Manman, the meal is ready. There are many dishes you like."
"Right away."
I heard that we can eat and there are many delicious foods.
Qiu Manman's legs were no longer weak and she strode towards the door.
Si Zhuo: “?”
At dinner, on the table, Qiu Manman picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and saw that her hand was blue. She confirmed, "Is it cooked?"
"It's done. It's definitely done."
Xiao Shi: "My dad fried it for 20 minutes. He controlled the heat very well."
Xiaoshi learned most of her cooking skills from her father.
"It's delicious." Qiu Manman praised it generously.
"If you like to eat, eat more. Don't be afraid of poisoning. I've called Xiaoshi. She won't eat today. She can eat from the plate in the kitchen after we finish eating."
Xiaoshi's mother made arrangements in advance, and when the family eats mushrooms, one person must always stay behind.
Xiao Shi was very relieved, but the people she met were Qiu Manman and Si Zhuo, who were her breadwinners, so there couldn't be any mistakes.
She was also a little more cautious.
While I was eating, I heard three or two people talking at the door.
"Little poem."
Xiao Shi heard the sound and stood up to look.
It was the Zhang family who were holding a wedding banquet today. The bride and groom had already changed into their daily clothes and were holding fruits in their hands. It was obvious that they were here to visit.
Xiao Shi was confused about the situation and asked her mother.
"What's wrong?"
Bride Huihui: "Hello, Xiaoshi, I wanted to see Qiu Manman. I'm sorry to bother you at this time."
"See me?" Qiu Manman was even more confused and asked Si Zhuo, "Honey, I shouldn't have gotten into trouble today, nor yesterday, right?"
"no."
Qiu Manman felt relieved.
"Okay, let's talk outside."
Huihui followed her to the front yard, her eyes filled with emotion.
"Sister Man, thank you. I know all about your righteous words for me at the entrance of the village."
"Because of what you said, my mother-in-law was scared and she didn't dare to neglect me. Now she treats me very well."
"It's okay." Qiu Manman's invisible tail was about to soar into the sky.
"I've prepared a small red envelope for you as a wedding present. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation. Sister Man, you must accept it."
"I..." Qiu Manman was confused for a second and then stopped refusing.
[We are all adults. It would be hypocritical for me not to accept the red envelope given to me. ]
Huihui also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Man, from today on, I am your most loyal fan."
"I may rarely appear on TV shows in the future, and you may not see me on the screen."
Huihui put her hand on her chest and said, "You are in my heart."
[Oh my god, the bride speaks so nicely. ]
Qiu Manman: "Yesterday, I couldn't stand the way the aunt slandered girls casually. We are all girls, but she couldn't be more kind to women."
"I just made it up at the time, but I didn't expect them to believe it."
"No matter what those aunts out there say about your past, don't believe them."
Huihui nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry, you're getting married today." Qiu Manman raised her hand to wipe her tears.
Huihui wiped it off herself first.
"Then I'll go home with my husband first."
"goodbye."
Qiu Manman waved goodbye and walked in with a red envelope in her arms.
Xiaoshi's mother was a little curious about their relationship, "Is the bride your fan?"
"Yes." Qiu Manman replied.
"How big is the red envelope?" Xiao Shi's focus was strange.
Qiu Manman opened it and saw that there was not only a red envelope of 800 yuan, but also a message written in a signature.
[Sister Man, you are my goddess, I will always support you. Huihui stays.]
"Oh my god, this sentiment is definitely worth it."
Helping is for this little bit of emotional value.
Qiu Manman didn't expect at first to receive Huihui's sincere thanks.
Si Zhuo tilted his head lazily, looked into her bright eyes and smiled: "Do good deeds and live a long life."
"Living to eighty is enough."
Qiu Manman doesn't like the idea of needing someone to take care of her life when she's older.
Si Zhuo: "I hope you live a long life."
"That's fine, but you can't die before me. You have to die after me."
Xiao Shi's mother couldn't stand their nonsense. "You young people keep talking about death all the time."
"Eat, eat."
Qiu Manman stayed in Xinghua Village for a few days during her vacation in Jiangzhou. According to the travel guide prepared by Xiaoshi, she also planned to go to Jiangzhou City for a few days.
Xiao Shi did not go with them. She stayed in Xinghua Village to accompany her parents, waiting for Qiu Manman and the others to return to Beijing, and then they would go back together.
Pei Yi originally planned to go to Jiangzhou overnight, but unexpectedly he was stopped by the elders of his family on the way to the airport.
Pei Yi returned to the country to deal with some family affairs, and then flew to Jiangzhou.
When I rushed to Xinghua Village, I only met Xiaoshi.
Xiao Shi: "Sister Manman went to Jiangzhou. I really don't know where she went to play."
Pei Yi suffered an unfortunate loss.
Jiangzhou City.
Qiu Manman and Si Zhuo have already started visiting the scenic spots.
There are many interesting places in Jiangzhou City. The sky is clear, with a few clouds and a famous lake in Jiangzhou City shining.
"Si Zhuo, do you remember that I gave you a camera before?"
"Remember." Si Zhuo lowered his eyes, looking a little guilty.
Qiu Manman smiled and said, "I don't know if you have practiced taking photos in private. Look at this place, with beautiful mountains and waters. You must have a high chance of taking photos."
Si Zhuo's heart was hanging.
"Give me ten minutes."
"???"
It takes ten minutes to change the film output rate.
Then wait.
Qiu Manman watched him in embarrassment as he typed and looked up the guide.
[If you can't take a good photo, Si Zhuo will be punished to sleep in the study. ]
【Take good-looking photos, and you can use the reward as an excuse to unlock new poses at night. 】
Autumn is humming a cheerful tune happily.
Si Zhuo's eyes were as black as ink, and they were filled with the desire to devour people.
Qiu Manman raised her eyes casually, "Why are you looking at me?"
【It makes me feel creepy. 】
Si Zhuo has always been known as a top student since he was a child. As for the technique of photography, he looked up the latest photography techniques and was able to get the key points.
"As long as you can take eight photos that satisfy me, I will give you a surprise."
Si Zhuo's Adam's apple rolled.
Qiu Manman changed many angles and locations and took a total of twenty photos.
I was tired of posing, so I stopped.
On the bench, Qiu Manman took the phone and prepared herself mentally, "Are you confident about these photos?"
