When we came down from the mountain, everyone felt much more relaxed.
I was so tired from climbing the mountain that I was only focused on getting to the top as quickly as possible, and I didn't pay attention to the scenery around me.
Now that I'm down here, I'm not tired, and the viewpoint has changed, so I'm in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.
It took two hours to go up the mountain, but the descent was much faster.
However, going down the mountain still took some effort. When they returned to the Wei family home, everyone was so exhausted that they all lay on Wei Jingting's bed like dead fish.
"Ah~~ my legs, I won't be able to walk tomorrow..." Su Yue said weakly as she lay on the bed.
“I might be like you… I’ve never climbed such a high mountain before…” Guo Ju said.
Yuan Mengge looked at them and said, "It's so good to be young... Take advantage of the time to climb as much as you can now, because you won't have the time or the mood to do so when you grow up."
After hearing her words, the others looked at her strangely: "How do you know you won't have the time or the inclination when you grow up? When you grow up, you won't have to go to school anymore, you'll have plenty of time. Besides, we can earn our own money and do whatever we want."
Yuan Mengge glanced at them and said nothing more.
They don't understand the adult world yet.
When they grow up, they'll either work or get married; whichever path they choose, their lives will become very busy.
Even when I have time, I've never felt as relaxed as I do now.
"Are you all hungry? I'll go heat up the food. There's still a lot of leftovers from yesterday. We can have another meal later." After resting for a bit, Wei Jingting got up again and said to the group before heading to the kitchen.
There were indeed a lot of leftovers from yesterday, but now that it's hot, many of them can't be stored.
We can only eat for one more day at most. Except for some fried meat dishes, most of the other dishes will spoil.
Wei Jingting heated up some simple dishes in the kitchen. She had already cooked a large pot of rice in the morning, enough for the whole day, so she didn't need to cook any more.
Yuan Mengge also came downstairs, looked around the house, and found that apart from her second brother who had come back with them, there was no one else at home.
"Squad leader, where did your family go?" she asked Wei Jingting, standing at the kitchen doorway.
"Oh, they must be going to town for afternoon tea. Everyone was busy all day yesterday, so they should be taking my grandma out for tea this afternoon," Wei Jingting replied while busy with her work.
Yuan Mengge nodded: "I see. The weather is nice today, perfect for drinking tea."
After Wei Jingting heated up the dishes, she said to her, "Go and call my second brother, and then call the others down to eat as well."
Yuan Mengge: "Mm."
As she spoke, she left the kitchen, went to her second brother's door, knocked, and said, "Second brother, dinner is ready."
The second brother, who was lying in bed reading a newspaper, looked up and replied, "Oh, okay."
Yuan Mengge then turned around and called to the others, "Come out quickly, it's time to eat."
The three fish that were lying on the bed got up and followed her to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Wei Jingting said to them, "The food is on the cupboard. There's rice and porridge. Help yourselves to whichever you prefer. The bowls are on the table."
"I want congee! The congee was cooked this morning, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"I want congee too!"
In the end, everyone got some porridge, and the big bowl of porridge was almost empty.
When it's hot, rice porridge with rice water is cool and refreshing.
Yuan Mengge also ate a bowl of porridge and then took a sip.
While holding a bowl, the second brother suddenly started rummaging through the kitchen.
Seeing what he was looking for, Su Yue asked, "Second Brother, what are you looking for?"
Second Brother: "Find some glutinous rice, grind it into glutinous rice flour, and then I'll make pancakes for you. Do you want some?"
"Eat, eat, eat!"
Several people raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to eat.
The second brother said, "Then don't eat too much now, save some room for the pancakes later."
Okay~
Then, the second brother quickly finished the rice in his bowl and went out with a small bag of glutinous rice.
I returned with the glutinous rice flour half an hour later.
After Yuan Mengge and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, they all lay on Wei Jingting's bed and played.
After busying himself in the kitchen for a while, the second brother carried a plate of golden-brown fried glutinous rice cakes to their room door.
"Here, take this and eat it."
Wei Jingting, who was sitting at the table, walked over and took it, then placed it on the table and said, "Come on, my second brother makes this really well. Even my mom can't make it as well as he can; we always burn it."
Yuan Mengge came over, picked up a piece, and took a bite.
It's slightly sweet but not cloying, with a slightly firm surface and a soft, chewy interior—it's really delicious.
She said to her second brother, who was turning to leave, "Thank you, second brother."
The others came over and took pieces, one after another, to eat.
The second brother turned around and glanced at her, then smiled and said, "You're welcome. You've come all this way, and there will be more later."
Then he went back to the kitchen to continue making pancakes.
And so, after an afternoon of being fed by the Wei siblings, Yuan Mengge and the others had their stomachs full.
Then the rest of the Wei family returned after finishing their tea.
They spent another night there, and left the Wei family's house after having lunch the next day.
After leaving the village, the group walked to the town because they couldn't wait for a car.
Then I went to the roadside to wait for the bus back from the county town and took it back to Heshui Town.
After arriving in town, Yuan Mengge said she had other things to do and parted ways with them, instead of going back to school with them.
Instead, they went to the training room.
I missed all my daily check-ins yesterday except for running, so I can't miss any more today.
After finishing her training, she went back to her dormitory, took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and then went to study.
A few days later, Labor Day arrived, and the school gave students a three-day holiday.
Yuan Mengge asked for two more days, because she couldn't guarantee she could return from the mountains within three days.
After accepting the mission, I prepared my things and headed into the mountains.
Because she delayed accepting the mission, the mission details changed, including the location and time, but the target remained the same.
