Lin Weiwan walked beside Aunt Miao, her nose filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees after the rain.

"Where are you from?" Miao Yuxiang tilted her head.

"Well, I had graduated, so I responded to the call and went." Lin Weiwan said softly.

Occasionally, you can see families running up the mountain in groups of three or four.

"Then your family will let you go?" Miao Yuxiang looked at the unusually beautiful Lin Weiwan.

A family like the Fu family couldn't allow a beautiful girl like Lin Weiwan to go to the countryside.

"I have no family anymore." Lin Weiwan sighed.

"Without family, then Fu Hongyu..." Miao Yuxiang was a little confused for a moment.

"She and Fu Hongyu are not really relatives. Her great-grandmother is her stepmother. She has no brothers and only has one son, her father."

Miao Yuxiang was stunned for a moment. This relationship was indeed quite far away.

The two of them went up the mountain, and occasionally they could see mushrooms of various colors in the grass along the way.

"Let's go in and dig bamboo shoots first, and then come back to pick mushrooms."

Miao Yuxiang pulled Lin Weiwan up the mountain. Looking to the east, they could vaguely see a large bamboo forest on the top of the mountain.

"Hey, this is the famous sweet bamboo here. It's different from other bamboos. This bamboo is not bitter or astringent."

Lin Weiwan looked at Aunt Miao showing him the short and plump bamboo shoots.

"My local Chinese love to eat bamboo shoots. They are delicious whether they are dried or blanched and stir-fried."

As Miao Yuxiang spoke, she demonstrated to Lin Weiwan how to dig out the bamboo shoots.

After watching it once, Lin Weiwan squatted on the other side and helped dig bamboo shoots.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking at him, Lin Weiwan used his strength to quickly dig up two roots and threw them into the bamboo basket.

After digging for a while, the bamboo basket was filled with more than ten crabs. Lin Weiwan was much stronger now.

Just pick up the shovel and scoop a few times, and a short and plump sweet bamboo shoot will be dug out.

At noon, Lin Weiwan took out the peaches from the bamboo basket and brought six or seven sweet bamboo shoots with their roots into the space.

"Auntie, have a peach and take a break." Lin Weiwan walked up to Miao Yuxiang carrying a bamboo basket.

"Oh... okay." Miao Yuxiang wiped her hands on her apron and took the peaches handed to her by Lin Weiwan.

Not far away, several family members gathered together and sat in the shade to rest.

"Hey, Meizi, that must be Captain Ye's house."

Sun Zhaodi saw an unusually fair and beautiful woman not far away.

Zhao Hongmei took out the kettle, took a sip of water, and glanced to the side.

"Yes, that's Captain Ye's house."

Old Mrs. Wu snorted coldly and tore off a piece of corn cake made of three grams of flour in her hand.

"Don't underestimate this young wife. She is very capable. She has already become a big tree like Captain Ye at such a young age.

You may not know, but when they buy things, they don’t do it in bulk like us. They always send them by car. The six guys went back and forth six or seven times.”

As he spoke, his voice became even lower and he smacked his lips.

"We buy pork in half and bring it home, and then we either stew it or make stew out of it."

"Ah... Captain Midnight, won't you care if this continues?"

"But there is a rumor that the wife of the Ye Tuan family came from the northern countryside. I don't know what kind of magic potion the Ye Tuan leader was given to make them get married."

"Look at you, what kind of magic potion is that? That's it."

The four of them gathered together and laughed, with a look of understanding in their eyes.

Miao Yuxiang looked back and took out the morning 녈놅 餅 from the bamboo basket. She took out a rolled up piece and handed it to Lin Weiwan.

"Eat a bite of cake, and then go back to dig some mushrooms. We can't continue digging bamboo."

Lin Weiwan took the pancake and asked, "Why?"

Miao Yuxiang pointed to the small bamboo forest and said, "This bamboo forest is only this big. It ends there if you go further. There are unspoken rules in the courtyard.

Each time you dig, you can't dig too much, otherwise you will have nothing to eat. The mountains are too deep, so people don't go further away, for fear of encountering wild animals and poisonous snakes.

Basically, every time I go up the mountain, I stay in this small area. If anything happens, I can go back to the compound quickly."

After listening to this, Lin Weiwan nodded and decided that it would be better to plant a bamboo patch in his own space.

Miao Yuxiang moved closer to Lin Weiwan and said, "Don't bother with that group of people. There are all kinds of people in this courtyard.

If you can't get along, just don't move around, don't talk, don't squeeze, and live your own life.

Some people live in dire straits all year round and don't want to climb out. They only think about how to pull people on shore.

So, just stay away from yourself and ignore others."

Miao Yuxiang likes Lin Weiwan, who is about the same age as her daughter.

My old Lu and Xiao Ye are friends regardless of age difference. They take care of each other in times of trouble, so I naturally think more about the person in front of me.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I understand."

The two of them ate the cakes and walked back. Every time they saw mushrooms, Miao Yuxiang would squat down and tell Lin Weiwan what kind of mushrooms they were and whether they could be eaten.

"You must have picked mushrooms in the mountains over there, but here there are many different kinds of mushrooms, many of which look similar but are inedible."

Miao Yuxiang said as she broke open the mushroom in her hand.

"This is the green onion. It can be eaten, but it must be cooked thoroughly before eating. Otherwise, it will be poisonous."

Lin Weiwan carefully identified the color, shape and characteristics of the mushrooms.

"If you see something that you can't call out, you'd better not pick it but don't be greedy." Miao Yuxiang warned worriedly.

Lin Weiwan started picking mushrooms. Going up the mountain to dig bamboo and pick mushrooms was just like fishing. She was really addicted.

At the end of the day, even if they had backaches and leg pains, they looked happy.

At the foot of the mountain, Miao Yuxiang grabbed Lin Weiwan and said, "Pour out all the mushrooms and show them to you."

"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Weiwan didn't expect Auntie Miao to be so considerate. She quickly picked out all the mushrooms from the bamboo basket.

Miao Yuxiang carefully distinguished them, "Yes, they are all edible. If you can't finish eating these mushrooms, you can dry them. If you have any questions, remember to ask me." Then she helped Lin Weiwan pick the mushrooms back into the bamboo basket.

When they got home and entered the yard, Ye Jibai had not returned yet, so Lin Weiwan poured out all the mushrooms and bamboo shoots from the bamboo basket.

I picked some mushrooms and placed them in a dustpan. When I looked up, I found two lunch boxes on the table.

I wiped my hands and opened the box. It turned out to be two boxes of braised pork. I guess they must have brought it back at night or noon.

While Ye Jibai was still not back, Lin Weiwan quickly entered the space and found a small hillside, then planted the bamboo shoots with roots in some spiritual spring water.

As for how it will grow, it depends on time.

Thinking of this, Lin Weiwan looked at the piled-up baskets of eggs and became worried. She had to find a way to get Ye Jibai to buy two chickens.

Otherwise, there is nowhere to sell the eggs. Fortunately, the space is kept fresh, otherwise the space will definitely be full of rotten egg smell.
