Situ Hong tried his best to suppress the urge to cough, forced a smile, and comforted his wife.
"Don't worry, I just haven't had enough rest recently. After I take the medicine, I'll have a good sleep and I'll be well again soon."
As the person who has been by her side for most of her life, how could Lu Mengqiu not know that he was just saying this to comfort herself.
: "Yeah, it will be fine soon."
She echoed her husband's words, not knowing whether she was comforting him or herself.
She blinked hard to prevent the tears from falling.
I didn’t expect that I would become more emotional as I get older.
The next morning.
After finishing breakfast and clearing away the dishes, Sheng Zhiyi looked at his partner.
"Xixi, stay home by yourself today. I'm going to the mountain to chop some firewood."
Mu Yunxi stood up and walked to his side.
: "I'll go with you. I haven't been to the mountains for a long time."
: "Okay, let's go together."
Sheng Zhiyi agreed without much thought. At this season, there were many ripe and edible wild fruits on the mountain.
He would take his wife to pick wild fruits first, and when they came back he would bundle up firewood.
Since he doesn't have to work during this period, he has plenty of time to store firewood for the winter.
The two men went back to their room, changed into work clothes, picked up their axe and water bottle, put on their backpacks and set off.
At the foot of the mountain, we met the brothers Jiang Bei and Jiang Kai who were carrying firewood and preparing to return to the courtyard.
Jiang Bei said to them with a smile,
"Sheng Zhiqing, Mu Zhiqing, you are going up the mountain today too."
Sheng Zhiyi nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the mountain to collect some firewood and see if we can pick some wild fruits."
The brothers Jiang Bei and Jiang Kai were not surprised at all when they heard this.
After the autumn harvest, many people started going to the mountains to collect firewood.
Or you can go to the mountains to find some edible wild fruits and vegetables.
"Then you can go to the valley in the mountain ahead and take a look. There are several wild persimmon trees there that are all ripe.
There are also lots of ripe purple berries, so sweet, we just came from that side."
Jiang Bei enthusiastically shared with Sheng Zhiyi and Mu Yunxi the place where the two brothers found wild fruits in the mountains this morning.
Sheng Zhiyi nodded at him.
: "Okay, let's go over there and take a look later."
Jiang Bei waved at him.
"Then you guys go quickly. My brother and I will go back first."
:" good."
Sheng Zhiyi and Mu Yunxi smiled and nodded at the two brothers.
After watching the two brothers leave, Sheng Zhiyi turned his head and looked at his partner.
: "Xixi, is there any place you want to go?"
Mu Yunxi shook her head and looked towards the green hills in front of her.
: "There's no particular place I want to go."
Sheng Zhiyi suggested, "Why don't we go to that valley that Jiangbei just mentioned and take a look?"
: "Okay."
The two walked towards the hilltop that Jiang Bei mentioned. After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the valley.
From a distance, Mu Yunxi and Sheng Zhiyi saw the wild persimmon trees.
The rugged branches are full of clusters of bright red small tomatoes.
The small red persimmons look like ripe cherry tomatoes.
The colors contrast beautifully with the dark green leaves of the trees around them.
Under the sunlight, it appears particularly crystal clear and emits a very attractive red glow.
It adds a touch of brilliant color to the autumn scenery.
It was the first time that Mu Yunxi saw this kind of wild small persimmon, and she felt it was very novel.
The fruit is small with some light lines on the surface.
On top is a dark green petal-shaped stalk, which is composed of four or five small petals. They act like a small tray, protecting the small persimmon.
The little red tomatoes, gathered in groups of three or five, look quite cute.
The persimmon was about the same size as a slightly larger cherry tomato, very different from the persimmons she had seen in her previous life.
In her previous life, the persimmons she had seen were probably as big as four or five of these wild persimmons.
Sheng Zhiyi, who was standing by, reached out and picked a few slightly larger persimmons from the branches and handed them to Mu Yunxi.
"Xixi, try it and see if it's sweet."
Mu Yunxi lowered her head, looked at the persimmon in his hand, and reached out to take it.
Then peel off the skin of the persimmon and put it into your mouth.
Soft and sticky texture, sweet and juicy.
Mu Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly, and she turned her head to look at Sheng Zhiyi.
: "It's very sweet! Come and try it."
Seeing that his partner liked her, Sheng Zhiyi's beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly raised, and he smiled at her, softening his tone.
:" good."
