"Mom, you're going to the back mountain again? It's so cold today, and the wind is so strong. Why don't you just stay home, bask in the sun, and relax? You only get a few days of free time all year round. Why are you going up the mountain to work? The three of us have brought back enough firewood to last us all winter!"
Lin Chaobei patted his chest and assured him.
Yue Jiuyue felt quite relieved. Although this was not her biological son, she had at least picked up a dutiful son. She didn't have to worry about spending the rest of her life as a maid serving the whole family. How could she not feel gratified?
"Sigh, staying at home all day is so boring. I just go out for a walk and collect some firewood. Staying at home all day without moving around is making my bones rust!"
As Yue Jiuyue spoke, she was also trying to comfort herself:
It's alright, this is just a temporary measure. She's only in her thirties, which is still considered an unmarried young woman in modern times!
Little girl!
Little girl!
Little girl!
I'll say it three times because it's important, so she doesn't actually think of herself as an old woman. Although she really wants to enjoy a retirement life, these are two different things!
"Oh, then how about I come along with you?"
Lin Chaobei realized that the watering job didn't require three people. Since he would be going up the mountain later anyway, he decided to go with his mother first, so as not to worry about her being alone on the mountain and afraid that something might happen to her.
"No need, I'm just going to take a stroll on the back hill. I'm off!"
She didn't want him to follow her; it would interfere with her earning her own money!
After Yue Jiuyue finished speaking, she didn't care what the big and small family members were busy with. She quickly followed the path that their family had trodden along the east wall and went up the back mountain.
A withered yellow color.
Apart from a few scattered pine and cypress trees on the mountain, the view was of a withered yellow landscape, bent and twisted by the northeast wind.
At night, the grass and trees are blown about by the wind like a group of ghosts dancing wildly, and with the whistling sound of the north wind, it really does seem like ghosts have arrived.
Therefore, Yue Jiuyue doesn't go out at night now. Although she is a materialist, she is no longer materialistic. When she hears or sees those scenes, she can't help but overthink them, and overthinking only scares herself.
Yue Jiuyue didn't carry a basket this time. The baskets were woven from willow branches, rattan, and bamboo strips, and they weighed several kilograms. She was only out picking pine cones or cypress fruits, which were not afraid of being crushed, so it was easier to carry them in a cloth bag.
All she knew was that both of these things were medicinal herbs, and that the pine nuts inside the pine cones could be roasted and eaten, even more fragrant than sunflower seeds. That was why she insisted on coming out. Even if she wasn't trying to make a little money, eating pine nuts in her spare time was a nice little life!
Moreover, and most importantly, her ears were no longer tormented by Liu.
When Liu started nagging, it was like Tang Sanzang chanting scriptures, her little mouth going on and on, giving her a headache.
"mother?!"
A voice filled with doubt and surprise suddenly rang out from beneath their feet.
Yue Jiuyue, who was happily picking pine cones, heard the sound and looked down to see two pairs of big eyes, one big and one small, the big one in disbelief and the small one full of admiration.
"Grandma!"
The little girl grinned, showing off her tiny baby teeth, and looked up at her with a sweet smile.
Yue Jiuyue: ...
She almost slipped!
Grandma climbed a tree and her son and granddaughter spotted her. What should she do? I need help urgently!
