Standing at the door, watching Uncle He and the people who were building the house walk around the two rooms and discuss where to build it, He Wanqing turned and looked at Chen Ping:
"The weather is nice today. Let's go up the mountain and see if we can pick some mushrooms to eat."
It's August now, and mushrooms have started to appear in some places in the mountains. Plus with the rain in the first half of the month, they are expected to be as tall as a little finger, which is just right for picking and making soup.
"Okay, sister. I was just thinking about whether to go up the mountain in the morning or go up the mountain with Wanyi and the others after work in the afternoon, and you came.
Wait for me, I'll bring the food back to the house and then we'll go. Let's go early so we can be back for lunch. We'll rest for a while in the afternoon and then go again. ”
Chen Ping said as she walked towards her home, and when she finished the last sentence, she had already entered the yard.
"I know. Take your time. Don't be in a hurry." As she said that, she turned and went into the yard to get the things she brought up the mountain.
Before leaving, she chatted with Uncle He for a while about building the house. Only then did she leave with the backpack and shovel at Shen Ping's urging.
Just as the two sisters reached the foot of the mountain, they met some girls from the village who were also going up the mountain. After they made an appointment, they went up the mountain together.
After walking around for a long time, the group of seven finally reached the mountain.
Looking at the mushrooms that had just popped up under the tree, the seven people looked at each other, then squatted down and started picking them up. They didn't stop until their baskets were full before they went down the mountain.
Among them, He Wanqing received the most. When she picked up the items, she threw one into the basket and one into the space.
The two sisters went home happily with a lot of rewards. Just as they arrived at the door, before they even entered, they were stopped by Gu Ya and others who had just returned from work.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say you were going to South City? Then why are you still at home?"
Gu Ya looked at her and asked curiously, then she heard someone talking in the yard, which made her even more confused.
She didn't know that the person who originally said he was going to leave, could have just not left, but why was he building another house at home? ? ?
"Sister-in-law, are you going to build a new house?" Wu Shuling looked at her, then looked at the people who were busy in the yard, her face full of curiosity.
"No, my dad came back by train last night." Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, she smiled and shook her head to explain.
Before she could finish, Gu Chengshi spoke.
"Then congratulations, sister-in-law. Uncle's return means his injury is not serious. By the way, is your building of the house related to Uncle's return?"
Gu Chengshi leaned against the door and watched the uncles busy in the yard. While he was curious, he also did not forget to congratulate her.
"About that. Your grandpa came here with my dad last night. My house is not big enough for them, so I'm building two rooms, one for grandpa and one for your aunt."
In fact, I can accommodate her, but I am not familiar with the place. Besides, the two rooms here are actually just one bedroom and one living room.
You can't let the old man sleep on the big kang in the main room when he comes!
I guess the old man wouldn't want him to live in her current room.
Rather than making the old man feel uncomfortable every time he comes, she might as well build two rooms. It’s only twenty dollars more expensive.
"What? Grandpa is coming?" Gu Chengshi looked at her with wide eyes in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, what did you say? Grandpa is here???" Gu Ya also looked surprised.
I have to say that they are indeed siblings, as the expressions of surprise on their faces are exactly the same.
"Is my sister-in-law's grandfather here? But didn't he go to my eldest uncle's place?" After being surprised, Wu Shuling quickly came to her senses and asked the doubts in her heart.
"Yes, he's here. He'll be here in a week. He came back from your uncle's place. My dad happened to be coming back to recuperate, so he came back with him."
After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and understood why Grandpa Gu returned to Nan City from Baiyun City. Thinking of this, the three of them gave He Wanqing another step in their hearts.
Of course, she already had a very high status in the hearts of the three people, but it is only higher now.
"Sister-in-law, actually we don't need to build a house. Grandpa can come and live with us." Gu Chengshi scratched his head and said.
"You can't do anything, it's too small and too crowded, there's no place to move around.
And I didn’t build this house specifically for grandpa. When I give birth to a baby next year, your aunt will still have no place to live if she comes.
It just so happened that it was not a good time for me to build a house now, the farm work was not busy, and it was not cold, so it was very suitable for building a house.
I can’t wait until next year’s birth to build it. By that time everyone will be busy with spring planting and won’t have time to build a house for me. ”
After finishing her talk, she looked at the time on her wrist as she saw that the three people still did not agree with the building.
"Go back and make lunch quickly, otherwise you will go to work before you finish your meal, and you will be hungry in the afternoon."
When they heard this, they immediately left: "Sister-in-law, we will go back to cook first, and come to chat with you in the evening."
"Wanqing, I'm going home too. I'll come to see you in the evening." Zhou Lianyi, who was following Gu Ya and Wu Shuling, immediately followed them after they finished speaking, talking as they walked.
After watching the seven people return to their homes, Chen Ping took her vegetable basket and went home, leaving her alone standing in front of her door.
She looked up at the sun shining brightly above her. Just as she was about to enter the yard, she was blocked at the door by the people coming out again:
"Uncle Erniu, it's time for you to go home~!" Looking at the few people wiping their sweat as they walked, her eyes flashed.
"Well, go home for dinner and come back after you finish eating. Don't worry, Qing, I promise you won't be late for your stay." He Erniu looked at her and said with a smile.
I was thinking, oh~
He Baolian's daughter is so lucky!
Thinking about his own daughter, he shook his head, walked around her and left her house.
"I have great confidence in Uncle Erniu's cooking skills." After saying that, she watched the few people leave before she took the basket of vegetables into the yard.
Instead of washing the mushrooms immediately, he went into the kitchen and made himself a bowl of eggplant and minced meat noodles. After eating, he rested for a while before pouring the picked mushrooms into the basin and starting to wash them.
While she was washing mushrooms, He Erniu and his colleagues who were building the house came back from dinner and continued building the house.
She was by the well, cleaning mushrooms to stew chicken in the evening, while watching He Erniu and the others work.
Only after she brought the washed mushrooms into the yard and Grandpa He and Grandpa Shen came over to supervise did she pick up the basket and continue to go up the mountain with Shen Ping.
There were more people going up the mountain in the afternoon. They all saw that they picked up a lot on the mountain in the morning, so they all swarmed up the mountain in the afternoon.
The two sisters looked at the large group in front of them, and thought of the mushrooms that had just popped up in the mountains. They looked at each other, quickened their pace, passed these children, and headed straight for the col they had visited in the morning.
Unfortunately, by the time the two of them arrived, the valley was so crowded that there was almost no place to stand.
"Sister Wanqing, you are here, come quickly, there are so many mushrooms here." The people who picked mushrooms with them in the morning waved to the two sisters when they saw them coming.
