Chapter 123 Picking Mushrooms 01



Duofu, being more sensible, knew that his two uncles were busy, so he stepped forward and pulled Duolu back, saying, "Duolu, don't go over there and disturb your uncles' work."

Seeing this, Yu Rujia, who was sitting next to him, called out, "Duolu, be good and go inside to play. Uncle will make you something delicious later."

Having received the promise, the little foodie immediately pulled her equally eager follower, Duoxi, into the house: "Auntie, let's go back now. Remember to give us lots of delicious food later."

Gao Shujing and his team finished demolishing the wall in less than an hour, but the rain lasted for two days before stopping. They made the right decision to demolish the wall.

Since the two sides were connected, they can travel back and forth between them at any time without worrying about getting wet in the rain.

The day we started work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year was cloudy. Although the rain had stopped overnight, there were still some muddy spots on the road.

Some mischievous children even ran into the mud, splashing and playing in the mud, chasing each other with innocent smiles on their faces, adding a touch of life and vitality to the Spring Festival.

After delivering his opening speech, Captain Huang didn't see the person he wanted to see, and immediately asked with a dark face, "Zheng Daxiong, where are your wife and Lanlan?"

Zheng Daxiong: "Captain, I've sent the mother and daughter back to their maternal grandmother's house. They can come back whenever they've come to their senses."

Hearing that the person was not in Shangfen Brigade, Brigade Leader Huang was not so angry. He still emphasized with a stern face: "I don't care if they are at their grandmother's house, but they have to go to work when they return to Shangfen Brigade."

Zheng Daxiong: "I understand."

On the day the brigade started work, Gao Shujing went to the neighboring Xiafen brigade to connect the electricity, and began his journey of leaving early and returning late again.

Gao Guojing took the kids for a stroll outside and came back. When he saw Yu Rujia, he asked, "Sister Rujia, I heard that it's mushroom picking season now. Let's go pick some mushrooms."

Speaking of mushrooms, Yu Rujia also became interested: "Okay, let's go pick some tomorrow."

Gao Guojing said, "Can't we go today?"

Yu Rujia: "It's already late afternoon. It will get dark soon after we walk a short distance. We'll go after breakfast tomorrow."

After receiving the message, Gao Guojing took the hand of Duoshou, who was closest to him, and said, "Let's go mushroom picking tomorrow, aren't you excited?"

The last time I ate mushrooms was a few months ago. I was still young then and had no memory of mushrooms. Hearing this, I tilted my head and asked with wide eyes, "What are mushrooms?"

Gao Guojing: "It's delicious."

Dorjee was excited and volunteered to go: "I want to go pick mushrooms."

Following suit, Duoxi chimed in, "Go away, Xixi, go away."

Gao Guojing: "Okay, everyone go, Duofu, come along too. We're going to pick lots of mushrooms."

Duofu knew perfectly well who the head of the household was, so he turned to ask for confirmation, "Auntie, can we go pick mushrooms?"

Yu Rujia patted the little guy's head: "Go, all of you go. Just follow your aunt and Uncle Guojing."

After the rain, the temperature rises, which is the time when mushrooms grow in abundance. Picking mushrooms is enough if you just stroll around at the foot of the mountain, where people pass by every day, so there is no danger.

Of course, many people get up before dawn to pick mushrooms, but Yu Rujia is a lazybones who wants to sleep until nine or ten o'clock every morning, so how could she possibly get up at five o'clock to pick mushrooms?

Anyway, the place is so big, if we don't find them outside, we can just have Gao Guojing bring the kids back, and she can go a little further to find them herself. There's no need to sacrifice her precious sleep time.

The next day, after breakfast, the family of six, fully equipped with protective gear, including wrapping up the little ones tightly and spraying them with insect and snake repellent, headed up the mountain with baskets and bags.

Gao Guojing walked at the front carrying a bag, turning over the grass with a stick in one hand. The mushrooms were mostly hidden in the grass and could not be seen without turning over the grass.

The little ones didn't understand, but that didn't stop them from imitating them and starting to turn over the grass with sticks.

After searching for several minutes, when Duolu pulled out his stick, it brought with it a piece of shavings. Yu Rujia looked closely and realized it was a mushroom: "Stop for a moment, there seems to be a mushroom here."

"Where? Where?" Gao Guojing, who was in front, immediately jumped back when he heard this. Even the other little ones gathered around and curiously scanned the ground in front of Yu Rujia.

Yu Rujia gently parted the pine needles in the spot where Duolu had just moved with the stick in her hand. After only two movements, a mushroom with its cap opened was revealed.

"It's a mushroom, exactly this kind of mushroom. I saw them picking these this morning," Gao Guojing said excitedly.

Knowing he was going to pick mushrooms today, he got up a little earlier, thinking he would first wander around outside to see if there were any. He didn't find any mushrooms, but he did find a team member carrying a basket of mushrooms coming down from the mountain.

He had spoken a few words to someone at the time, and he could clearly see the mushrooms in the team member's basket.

The little ones craned their necks to look, and under the watchful eyes of several people, Gao Guojing swept off the pine needles from the mushroom, picked it up, and showed it to the little ones for a closer look.

Kao Kuo-ching: "Look, these are the kinds of mushrooms. Pick them up, cook them, add some meat, and they'll be so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue. If you see any mushrooms, remember to call Uncle Kuo-ching to pick them up."

With a successful start, the group walked confidently to the side, waving their sticks even more vigorously. Soon, Duofu's voice rang out: "Uncle Guojing, there are mushrooms here."

Gao Guojing immediately went over, and Duofu had already swept away the pine needles from the mushrooms, just like he had done before.

Looking at the few mushrooms in front of him, Gao Guojing couldn't help but exclaim, "Duofu is really amazing, he found a few mushrooms in one go."

Before this was over, Duoshou's voice came from the other side: "Uncle Guojing, there are some here too."

The voices of several people rose and fell in succession. Gao Guojing happily jumped around picking mushrooms, not feeling tired at all. Before long, the uncle and nephew had picked a small half basket of mushrooms.

Seeing that his older brothers had all made some gains while he hadn't, he grunted with a mixture of joy and displeasure, swinging the stick at the ground and staring intently.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very effective, because he was following behind his older brothers, and the mushrooms had already been thoroughly searched by them.

The little guy felt wronged and unconsciously pouted. Seeing this, Yu Rujia, who was following behind him, subtly led him to a place that Duofu and the others had not seen before.

This time, they finally got something out of it. The little guy grinned and excitedly shouted, "Uncle, Junjun!" His baby voice almost split open from shouting.

Yu Rujia praised, "Our Duoxi is really amazing."

When Duofu saw Yu Rujia next to him, he understood what was going on and walked over to praise her, "Duoxi is really amazing."

Receiving praise from the two, Duoxi grinned even wider: "Find Duoduo, let's eat."
