"Thank you, Grandma Wu." Qiu Yueling couldn't refuse, so she had to take the fruit, wiped it on her clothes twice, and took a bite with a "crunch". Her face was filled with confusion, and the taste was sour and astringent.
"Haha, you look so jealous, Sister Yuling. Come on, I'll take you to the woods across the street. I know where there are some sweet fruits."
"Tiejun, don't pick things randomly. You can only pick up those that have fallen on the ground, okay?" Grandma Wu looked at her eldest grandson pulling Qiu Yuling over there and hurriedly reminded him.
"I know, grandma..."
"Don't run, don't run, let me put on my shoes first." Qiu Yuling broke free from her hand, found a clean place to sit down, wiped the mud and sand off her feet with a handkerchief, and then put her feet on.
"Sister Yuling, you are so fair." This little bastard, at such a young age, dares to tease his aunt.
Qiu Yuling thought unhappily, and glanced over, only to see that Wu Tiejun looked serious, without a trace of blasphemy.
"Sister Yuling, look at me wearing my shoes directly underneath. These are called plastic sandals, they are not afraid of water."
Qiu Yuling was not blind and had seen it a long time ago. They were sold at the supply and marketing cooperative for 1.5 yuan a pair, and you needed shoe tickets.
However, Qiu Yuling could not agree with the aesthetic of a grown boy wearing green plastic sandals.
"How about it? Doesn't it look good?" Wu Tiejun saw Qiu Yuling staring at his sandals and gave her a thumbs up proudly.
"Aren't you afraid of being pricked?" There are a lot of shrubs here, some with small thorns, and you will get pricked if you are not careful.
"Don't be afraid, I dare to walk barefoot. If you don't believe me, just look." As he said this, he was about to take off his shoes to perform.
"I believe it, I believe it, let's get up and go." She only likes to take girls with her. Boys are either naughty or bear-like, and they are all tiring.
"Hey, Sister Yuling, come with me." Qiu Yuling was also puzzled. It had only been half an hour, but Wu Tiejun seemed as familiar to her as if he had known her for years.
What Qiu Yuling didn't know was that Wu Tiejun and the others had already spotted her the moment she arrived with Duan Yao. The fair and tender girl, wearing a red coat with wide sleeves and wide-legged white trousers, stood there timidly, making people want to protect her.
"Oh, rabbit, sister Yuling, just wait, I'm the best at catching rabbits." With a shout, Wu Tiejun ran after the rabbit. Qiu Yuling breathed a sigh of relief. This talkative child, if he keeps chattering, Qiu Yuling will almost know how much money his mother has in the pocket sewn in her trousers.
Qiu Yuling walked slowly. There were many plants in the forest that she didn't have. She followed the path before her, pretending to pick them for fun, throwing them away and picking them up, but in fact she took all the useful ones to the farm.
She even didn't let go of unknown mushrooms.
Sure enough, there were quite a few fragrant pears on the ground. Although they were not fully ripe and tasted sour, they could be pickled. She picked up quite a few and smuggled quite a few.
Her current goal is to try not to spend points if she can get it for free.
After a short while of peace and quiet, Wu Tiejun came back in high spirits, "Sister Yuling, I caught a fat rabbit, haha, I thought I was awesome, look how white its fur is, let me give it to you to play with, us men are not good at this."
Qiu Yuling almost tripped over her left foot and fell. They were so arrogant! They hadn't even grown any hair yet, and they were just men.
"Take what you caught back home. Granny Wu can give you a snack at noon."
"Ah? Rabbits are so cute, why are you just thinking about eating them?" Wu Tiejun looked surprised. Didn't the daughter of Aunt Wang say the same thing? She refused to eat rabbits no matter what. Why is Sister Yuling different?
"Let me give it to you to play with. It doesn't have much meat on it." Wu Tiejun swallowed his saliva that tasted like rabbit meat with tears in his eyes and was determined to push the rabbit to Qiu Yuling.
He was so greedy, yet he was still pretending to be generous. Qiu Yuling had no choice but to quietly transfer the slingshot to the basket.
Wu Tiejun didn't think too much. After catching the rabbit, he was in a hurry to take sister Yuling to pick apricots. There was an old apricot tree in the woods, and the apricots were extremely sweet. He had to take them there before she discovered it herself to show his competence.
Qiu Yuling was carrying the fat rabbit, feeling lucky that she was not a real child, otherwise she would have quit long ago with such a burden.
"Sister Yuling, let me help you carry the rabbit first. We'll be there soon." Wu Tiejun turned around and found that his sister Yuling was not walking fast. He thought that the rabbit was probably affecting the progress, so he offered to help.
"Here you are." Luckily you spoke quickly, or I would have let it pretend to break free. Qiu Yuling's farm is full of these things. Now I don't think bunnies are so cute anymore. I don't want to accept a gift from someone on our first meeting.
"Here we are. How is it? Lots of apricots, right?"
The branches are densely covered with orange and yellow apricots, and the apricot fragrance is refreshing. What a pity that the basket is too small.
Qiu Yuling was busy picking up things on the ground. She smuggled those that were of very good quality into the farm space. She also smuggled in a lot of those that were really rotten and inedible. What if she accidentally came back and found a harvest? It's not just seedlings that can be grown.
"Sister Yuling, look at me." Wu Tiejun quickly climbed up the apricot tree and sat on a large branch, holding a large, round apricot in his hand. "Here, catch it."
Damn child, if she didn’t have this skill, that apricot would have broken the eyes of the person who caught it.
Wu Tiejun was also shocked by the thrilling scene just now. He almost forgot that the new sister was not like them, a group of mud monkeys who were used to throwing and picking up fruits.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yuling, I hope I didn't scare you. But you're quite agile, hehe."
"Come down, don't pick any more. Grandma Wu just said you can't pick anything from the trees. These are all collective property."
"It's okay. This forest was planted by my father and his men. The army sent people to pick the fruits as a welfare benefit for the soldiers."
