It was almost noon when we finished collecting the food.
After putting away the food he had brought back, Sheng Zhiyi turned to look at his partner.
: "Xixi, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Mu Yunxi lowered her eyes slightly, and her sight suddenly fell on the half bowl of sweet potato porridge on the table.
"We still have a lot of porridge left over from this morning. Let's just stir-fry two dishes to go with the porridge for lunch."
After Mu Yunxi finished speaking, she looked at Sheng Zhiyi with a pair of wet eyes, as if asking for his opinion.
Sheng Zhiyi curved his lips,
: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After saying that, he walked out of the room and went to prepare the ingredients that would be used later.
At noon, he made a dish of bitter melon fried with bacon, a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, and paired it with the sweet potato rice porridge left over from the morning.
A meal that tasted all the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors...
In the evening, when Sheng Zhiyi went to the pigpen to feed the pigs, he happened to meet Dr. He from the health center.
For some unknown reason, He Zhiyuan suddenly called out to Sheng Zhiyi.
"Sheng Zhiqing, I have a job picking medicinal herbs. Are you interested?"
Sheng Zhiyi looked at He Zhiyuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He seemed to be confused as to why He Zhiyuan would come to him when he had a job picking medicinal herbs.
"Oh? What herbs are you picking?"
Sheng Zhiyi spoke slowly.
He Zhiyuan thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"The honeysuckle on the mountain is in bloom, but it will be over in a few days. If you have time, you can go pick some and bring them to me. Fresh ones are 20 cents per pound, and dried ones are 1.3 yuan per pound."
Sheng Zhiyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had found many large areas of honeysuckle growing in the mountains before.
: "How much do you want to charge?"
He Zhiyuan glanced at him and said lightly,
: "I'll take as much as you can pick."
Sheng Zhiyi paused for two seconds, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle He. I'll pick them and send them to you tomorrow."
Since the autumn harvest, he has had nothing to do except collecting firewood and feeding the pigs.
Picking honeysuckle would be a good way to earn some money, so he readily agreed.
He Zhiyuan nodded.
"After you pick the hair, bring it to the clinic. I'm usually at the clinic in the early morning or evening these days."
: "Okay, I understand."
After Sheng Zhiyi finished speaking, He Zhiyuan nodded slightly, then said "hmm" softly, and left in big strides.
The next day, it was dawn.
The earth was covered with a hazy veil.
Accompanied by a few rooster crows, the sun rose and the bright light gradually broke the darkness.
A new day begins.
Sheng Zhiyi got up early today, cooked pig food and fed the pigs.
Last night, he told his girlfriend about He Zhiyuan asking him to pick honeysuckle.
His girlfriend clearly stated that she wanted to go to the mountains with him to pick honeysuckle today.
So he had to prepare more breakfast this morning and make some more egg pancakes to take to the mountain.
If they can't get back in time for noon, they will have something to eat when they are hungry.
After making breakfast and packing the food to take to the mountain, I saw my partner opening the door with a disheveled and dazed look on his face.
The early morning sunlight fell softly on her body, and she gently rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Sheng Zhiyi looked at her fair and clear face and smiled.
: "Xixi, morning."
:" morning."
Perhaps she had just woken up from sleep, Mu Yunxi's voice sounded like the purring of a lazy cat, with a hazy hoarseness and vagueness.
She yawned, and her consciousness gradually regained consciousness from the chaos.
He took down the towel that had been dried under the eaves and began to wash slowly.
Sheng Zhiyi put the breakfast in place and sat on a stool, quietly looking at his partner.
Her black hair was fluffy, her eyebrows were long and dark, and her delicate facial features looked a little lazy because she had just woken up.
After washing her face, her slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed, her face seemed to have a hint of comfort, and her eyes gradually became clear.
Sheng Zhiyi stared at her soft face and felt his chest getting a little hot again, and his mouth a little dry.
I really want to hold her tightly in my arms and kiss her hard.
Perhaps his gaze was too scorching, Mu Yunxi suddenly turned her head to look at him.
Their eyes met.
Sheng Zhiyi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly at her, with the stars in his eyes shining even brighter.
: "Xixi, come over and have breakfast."
His voice was gentle and a little affectionate.
Mu Yunxi's heart trembled when she heard it. She shrank her fingers and spoke softly.
:" good."
She gathered her toiletries, then turned toward him and sat down on the stool across from him.
Today's breakfast is quite rich, with pumpkin and rice porridge, steamed sweet potatoes, egg pancakes, and a plate of green vegetables.
: "What a rich breakfast you made today."
Mu Yunxi smiled and did not hesitate to praise.
"Well, we're going up the mountain soon, so you should eat more."
Sheng Zhiyi filled a small bowl of pumpkin porridge and handed it to his partner.
Mu Yunxi took the bowl and replied softly,
: "Well, you should eat more too."
After they finished their breakfast and cleared the dishes, they went back to their rooms to change into work clothes.
Then we took the hatchet, backpack, food and water bottle and set off towards the mountain.
