In order to avoid the bandits and to get closer and save the time wasted in the past two days, they took the mountain road this time.
The mountain road is different from the flat land, it is rugged and difficult to walk on, so everyone supports each other to prevent anyone from falling behind.
Fortunately, although the road on this mountain is difficult to walk on, it is not very steep. Because few people walk on it, you can still find some wild fruits and vegetables.
Grandma Zhou had a keen eye for finding treasures. In addition to wild vegetables, she also found some chestnuts and pine nuts, which she packed in a small cloth bag.
Su Man also found a lot of "pheasant eggs" and put them in the small backpack given to her by her fourth aunt.
There are wild vegetables inside, so you won’t get hurt.
They were all used to working in the fields, so finding food was easy for them. However, Widow Song and her family were the only ones who came up empty-handed after searching for a long time.
Widow Song moved to Wangjia Village from the town. Her previous husband was a small trader and did not have to farm.
As for Qin Mosheng and Qin Wanru, one of them wants to be the top scholar and the other wants to be an official's wife, neither of them is cut out for work.
While everyone was looking for wild vegetables and fruits based on their experience, the three of them were completely clueless.
"Mom, do you think this is a wild vegetable?"
Qin Wanru pinched a few weeds with two fingers, a look of disgust on her face.
A nearby villager was amused when he saw this and said, "Sister Wanru, those are not wild vegetables, they are grass."
Qin Wanru frowned, threw it back, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Qin Mosheng didn't do anything at all. He just walked and read a book, and from time to time he uttered a few words of nonsense.
Qin Wanru was a little dissatisfied when she saw Qin Mosheng being so leisurely. "Brother, stop reading now and get some wild vegetables first."
"Sister, you are so confused. I am a scholar. How can I be like a country bumpkin?"
Qin Mosheng brushed his sleeves as he spoke, looking extremely noble.
"But we only have so much food left. If we eat it all, we'll starve."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Qin Mosheng raised his chin and pouted at Wang Xiuxiu, "She just told me to concentrate on reading and she would help me pick wild vegetables."
Widow Song, who was originally bent over looking for wild vegetables, straightened her back and said, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? Look how tired I am."
Widow Song took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. She looked at Wang Xiuxiu working hard not far away and said "tsk tsk" twice, "Wang Xiuxiu is really capable. It will save a lot of effort to marry her home."
Qin Mosheng's face darkened. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly marry a country woman?"
"Yes, yes, my son will be the top scholar in the future, and I'm afraid only a princess or a princess can be a good match for him. But Wang Xiuxiu has been very dedicated to our family. When you marry a wife, it would be nice to take her in as a concubine."
Qin Mosheng showed disdain on his face, "What concubine? Have you ever seen a rich family choose a woman who works as a farmer as a concubine? Even a personal maid must be able to read and write, otherwise it would be a laughing stock."
