Picking hazelnuts is fun, but tiring.
They are also prone to injury.
When Ruan Yunxi returned from her trip, her hands and face were covered in wounds from thatch and thorns, leaving scars on her fair skin that were quite shocking to behold.
She only realized it when she looked in the mirror after she got back.
That's not all; I also got bitten by an ant.
That searing pain was something she would never forget.
When Sister-in-law Sheng and Miao Huahua saw this, they immediately got some herbs to apply to relieve the itching.
In the end, it turned out to be ineffective.
After returning home, Ruan Yunxi applied some ointment she had brought from Shanghai to relieve the itching.
However, it doesn't stop the pain much.
The swelling and redness are still there.
Sister-in-law Sheng frowned: "It's too late. When Commander Gu comes back, he'll definitely blame us for not taking good care of Comrade Ruan and hurting his wife like this."
Ruan Yunxi was both amused and exasperated: "How can you blame me? I wanted to go myself. Besides, I didn't know there was an ant nest there."
Miao Huahua was a little afraid of Gu Weizhou, so much so that for the next two days, she would immediately take a detour if she encountered him.
That's a story for another time.
Ruan Yunxi offered a few words of comfort and then displayed today's harvest in the yard.
Sister-in-law Sheng and the others will also go about their own business.
Little Cherry stayed by her side and asked, "Auntie, shall I blow on it for you?"
"Apply it with saliva, Mom said, saliva is also medicine."
Ruan Yunxi looked at the little cherry who was about to wipe her drool and said, "Thank you!"
"No need, I've applied some medicine, it doesn't hurt now, thank you, Little Cherry!" Ruan Yunxi touched Little Cherry's face.
Little Cherry felt relieved: "Mom said that I can stay home with my aunt tomorrow while they go to the mountain to pick hazelnuts."
"Okay!" Ruan Yunxi was afraid of being bitten by ants, so she decided not to eat this hazelnut.
She prefers to eat torreya nuts.
Ruan Yunxi called Granny Hua that day: "Granny, if you see any torreya nuts, remember to buy some and send them to me. There are no torreya nuts here."
Granny Hua nodded: "How are things over there?"
“That’s great!” Ruan Yunxi nodded with a smile. “I went to pick hazelnuts today. They taste different from torreya nuts. I’ll dry them and send you some.”
"You went to pick hazelnuts? Where did you pick them? On the mountain? How can you go there? There are snakes, rats, insects and ants on the mountain. What if you get bitten?" Granny Hua asked anxiously. Her young lady had been raised with great care.
Aside from picking loquats and small cherries from the yard, I didn't pick anything else.
It's pitiful to think that they have to go up the mountain to pick hazelnuts right now.
Despite being bitten, Ruan Yunxi said, "It's okay, I'll be very careful, don't worry. Do you have enough money?"
Granny Hua nodded: "That's enough. No need to rush, Granny. I'm doing just fine at home!"
After chatting for a while, Ruan Yunxi hung up the phone.
After returning the cherry blossoms, seeing that Gu Weizhou would be back soon, she went home to wait.
When Gu Weizhou returned, he saw several kilograms of hazelnuts drying in the open space in the yard. He raised an eyebrow in surprise. His wife was really amazing; she had actually picked so many hazelnuts.
"Wife, I'm back!" Gu Weizhou shouted in the yard.
Ruan Yunxi responded from the bedroom, "Oh, then you can cook. The meat and vegetables are in the kitchen."
"What's wrong?" Gu Weizhou sensed something was amiss. Usually, his wife would jump on him for a hug, but today he could only hear her but not see her, which made him a little uneasy.
Gu Weizhou went to the master bedroom to take a look, and Ruan Yunxi immediately turned her back to him. Gu Weizhou became even more anxious and immediately cupped Ruan Yunxi's little head, forcing her to turn her face to him.
I was shocked when I saw it: "Wife, you're injured?"
Ruan Yunxi blushed: "Am I ugly?"
"It's not ugly, it's just a little heartbreaking." Gu Weizhou gently touched the scratch on his face: "If you want to eat hazelnuts, I'll buy them for you. Don't go up the mountain tomorrow, look how badly you've hurt yourself, it's not worth eating this little bit."
Ruan Yunxi thought so too.
Since Gu Weizhou already knew, Ruan Yunxi stopped hiding it and even complained a bit, showing off the ant bites on her legs, feet, and hands. Compared to the scratches, the large red and swollen patches from the ant bites were much more shocking.
"This is..." Gu Weizhou's pupils contracted slightly: "Have you seen a doctor?"
Ruan Yunxi shook her head: "I have my own medicine, I've applied it."
"No, we have to go to the hospital!" Gu Weizhou insisted on taking her to the hospital despite Ruan Yunxi's shaking of her head. Ruan Yunxi saw how nervous he was and realized that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep if they didn't go to the hospital today, so she had no choice but to go with him.
