Seeing that her eyes were on the ground and she didn't pay attention to her expression, He Wanqing lied with her eyes open:
"I found it when I went up the mountain a few days ago. It had just emerged and could not be picked yet.
Just now when we were at the foot of the mountain, I calculated in my mind that this should be about the right place, so I brought you here.
Fortunately, we came here, otherwise the cucumber fragrance here would be gone in a few days. ”
As she spoke, the scene of Ye Cai in her previous life appeared before her eyes.
Thinking of those scenes, her heart clenched involuntarily, and the overwhelming sadness almost overwhelmed her.
"Sister, stop standing there, hurry up and pick the fruits. There's enough for us to pick for several days."
Having already picked a lot of duckweed, they looked back and saw her still standing there in a daze, so they urged her to hurry up and fill the basket as soon as possible so that they could go home.
If she's lucky, she can do it again. Thinking of the price recently offered by the purchasing station, she can't wait to work overtime to buy.
"Here it comes." He Wanqing came back to her senses and immediately squatted down to start picking cucumbers.
I don’t know if it’s because of the amazing memory of her hands or her own reasons, but Chen Ping had clearly started picking the fruits half an hour earlier than her, but she didn’t finish picking them before her.
Looking at the full basket of cucumbers, and then looking at Chen Ping who still had a little bit of it left, he thought for a moment and reached out to help her pick them.
Ten minutes later, with her help, Chen Ping's backpack was also full.
The two sisters carried their backpacks and went back down the mountain the same way, listening to the nice words Chen Ping said as they walked, praising her as if she were free.
This made He Wanqing feel embarrassed. Looking at her envious expression, she couldn't tell her that practice makes perfect.
When I got home, I separated the two baskets of wild vegetables and poured them on the ground.
Checking the time, "Sister, it's still early, let's go again!"
"Gulp, gulp." He Wanqing, who had finished two bowls of water, raised her wrist to check the time and found that it was only a quarter past four. Thinking of the cucumber fragrance, she nodded:
"Let's go!" If we don't hurry up and finish picking, that piece of land will be lost.
This time she changed to a bigger backpack, held the sickle in one hand and locked the door with the other hand, and the two sisters went up the mountain along the original route.
On the way, we met many people who were coming down the mountain with full baskets on their backs and bags in their hands.
When they saw the two of them just coming up the mountain, they shook their heads at them, said hello, and quickly walked down the mountain.
"Don't look at it, you can't do it." Those are things that only men can bear, and women's bodies can't bear it.
"I know, I'm just envious." Retracting her gaze, Chen Ping said as she walked.
Her family is of average financial condition, and she has four children who need money to go to school. Even though she has graduated now, she still has three younger brothers in school.
She wants to do more work that can earn more money to help reduce the burden on her father.
He Wanqing, who was a step behind, listened to her words and thought of her fifth uncle and several children who worked hard to make money. She admired her grandmother and her husband very much.
He was so cruel that he concealed the wealth of the two people and did not let them know that the Shen family was not short of money.
Chen Ping, who had been here once, didn't ask for a guide this time and found the place by herself.
Looking at the wild vegetables on the ground, and thinking that they could soon be turned into money, she squatted down again and started picking them quickly with both hands.
He Wanqing, who was one step behind, looked at her and thought that her own wallet was not full, so she squatted down and started picking quickly.
Time passed unknowingly, and before it got completely dark in the mountains, the two men went down the mountain with their third trip's harvest.
At the foot of the mountain.
When he returned home and saw the wild vegetables all over the ground but she was nowhere to be seen, Gu Chengan's face turned completely dark.
If he wasn't afraid of upsetting his mother-in-law's family, he would have gone and filed a complaint.
Unexpectedly, when he had just finished dinner and closed the door and was about to go to the mountain to look for someone, he saw Uncle Shen Wu coming over with a flashlight.
After the two talked, they learned that the two sisters who went up the mountain had not yet come down, and they instantly panicked.
Without even bothering to find anyone to help, he hurried down the mountain.
As soon as the two people arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw two sisters carrying backpacks and walking and resting every few steps.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that both of them were unharmed.
"Wanqing, Xiaoping?"
The two sisters were trying hard to go down the mountain carrying the backpacks, when they suddenly heard someone calling them and felt confused.
When I looked up, I saw two tall figures, one shouting happily, and the other smiling awkwardly.
Oh no, she forgot to make dinner again?
"Fifth uncle, Jiang Cheng, why are you here?"
She licked her dry lips with her tongue, looked at the man with a face as dark as ink, and thought about the explanation she would give when she got home.
After confirming that it was two people, Gu Chengan and Uncle Shen Wu quickly stepped forward and took the backpack from their daughter:
"What do you think? It's already dark, and Xiao Ping hasn't come home yet. I thought she was playing at home?
Who knew that you two wouldn't come down the mountain so late? Don't you know there's danger on the mountain? ”
He glanced at his niece's husband, who had a dark face. Fearing that he would embarrass his niece when he returned home, he immediately pointed out the mistakes of the two.
"Dad, it's not that my cousin doesn't want to go down the mountain, it's that I see too many cucumbers there.
If we don’t finish picking today, it will be wasted tomorrow, so I dragged her here.
Originally, my cousin didn’t want to come the last time. She said she wanted to finish cooking at home. I forced her to come. If you want to scold her, just scold me, but don’t implicate my cousin. ”
Chen Ping on the hillside had an eye for the first time. She looked at her cousin-in-law with a face as dark as ink, and thought that they were newly married and might have a bad quarrel. After her father finished speaking, he immediately answered and put all the blame on her.
Of course, it was just as she said, she couldn't bear to part with those wild vegetables, so she came for the third time.
"Fifth uncle, we got it. We will definitely not come down the mountain so late next time. We will make sure to get home before dark."
He reached out and pulled Chen Ping's hand, signaling her to just continue the conversation and not to explain too much.
Gu Cheng'an, who took over He Wanqing's backpack, almost dropped it.
Seeing her thin little body carrying such heavy wild vegetables all the way, no matter how angry I was, it disappeared and I was left with only heartache for her.
His eyes fell on the two people's gesturing hands, and he automatically looked away and looked elsewhere: "No more talking, let's go home!
This backpack is too heavy. You two must be very tired. Go home, wash up, eat, go to bed and have a good rest. ”
"Yes, this backpack is too heavy. Don't carry such a heavy load when you two go up the mountain next time."
After hearing that his tone didn’t sound angry, Uncle Shen Wu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately answered the question.
"Got it. Just this once." The two sisters looked at each other and answered at the same time.
The four of them went down the mountain one after another and soon arrived at her house. Looking at the wild vegetables all over the ground, she turned around and was about to speak when she heard Chen Ping say:
"Sister, we're going to go back first. You and your brother-in-law should hurry up and make dinner. I'll come over tomorrow to help you sort out the wild vegetables."
After that, without giving her a chance to speak, he pulled Uncle Shen Wu away quickly, looking so anxious as if he was being chased by something.
