Qian Xiang, along with Qian Gui, Qian Mao, Qian Rao, and Qian Duoduo, followed behind Guo Ni. Qian Duoduo walked beside Guo Ni, her little hand held in hers. Qian Xiang looked at Guo Ni's hand with a hint of grievance in his eyes. He wanted to hold that hand too, but he restrained himself in front of his younger siblings.
After entering the mountain, Guo Ni said to the others, "We're not deep in the mountains yet, but we can only stay here. I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we go any further in."
Everyone else nodded. This was the Lesser Khingan Mountains, where fierce animals like tigers, black bears, and wild boars still roamed the deep mountains. Several of them were quite young, and for safety reasons, Guo Ni couldn't take them on any adventures.
Qian Duoduo said, "Sister Guo, I see there are quite a lot of dandelions here, so I'll dig some dandelions here."
Guo Ni nodded and said, "Xiao Si, you and Duo Duo can dig for vegetables here. Qian Xiang and I will go inside. Qian Mao and Qian Gui, keep an eye on the two of them inside and don't let them go too far."
Qian Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard Guo Ni's words. If he could go out alone with Nini, would he be able to hold her hand?
Qian Duoduo didn't say much. She squatted down and continued digging for dandelions. She noticed other wild vegetables nearby. Ignoring Qian Xiang and Guo Ni's departing figures, she realized that there were really a lot of dandelions here. Dipping them in soybean paste would be absolutely delicious.
Seeing Qian Duoduo digging for dandelions, Qian Rao could only accompany her. However, the two of them got more and more engrossed in digging, and gradually, the distance between them grew further and further. After Qian Duoduo came to her senses, she realized that she was alone. She looked around and saw that her brothers were not around. She stood up and called out, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, are you around?"
Qian Rao's voice came from not far away, and Qian Duoduo shouted, "Okay, I understand."
Qian Duoduo and Qian Rao continued digging for wild vegetables. However, in a densely wooded area, Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up. There was a plant there with leaves that were different from the ones nearby. The key point was that Qian Duoduo recognized the leaves. Although it was a plant that had just sprouted leaves, Qian Duoduo still recognized it as ginseng.
The reason Qian Duoduo recognized ginseng was thanks to her family's business selling Chinese medicinal herbs before she transmigrated into the book. Although their business wasn't large in Harbin, her father was quite well-known in the Chinese medicinal herb trade. Even without paying much attention to her family's business, Qian Duoduo could still recognize some things. So, she immediately marked the location of the ginseng and began digging under its newly sprouted leaves with a knife blade. Fortunately, she wasn't digging blindly. After an hour, she finally saw the ginseng rootlets, which was the most important part.
Two hours later, Qian Duoduo finally brought out the ginseng. She looked at it and saw that the entire ginseng root was intact. She let out a long sigh of exhaustion. "I'm so tired!" Qian Duoduo held the ginseng she had just dug up and smiled. This baby ginseng was quite big. According to the size of ginseng, it should be more than five years old but less than ten years old. Moreover, it should not be artificially cultivated. This is a wild ginseng, which is more valuable.
"Duoduo, where are you?" Guo Ni's voice came.
Qian Duoduo was startled. She threw the ginseng in her hand into the farm space, then used her feet to fill the hole she had dug for the ginseng back in. She then went to the other side to dig vegetables. When she looked up, she saw Guo Ni walking over with Qian Xiang and Qian Rao. She immediately stood up and said, "Sister Guo, I'm here."
Guo Ni laughed and said, "You silly girl, why did you run so far? Qian Xiang, go find Qian Mao and Qian Gui. Once you find them, let's go back."
Qian Xiang nodded, then turned and left.
Guo Ni glanced at the wild vegetables in Qian Duoduo's basket. After digging for so long, it seemed like there weren't many. She took Qian Duoduo's hand and walked back, saying, "Duoduo, what have you been doing for so long?"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Digging for vegetables."
Guo Ni nodded without saying anything more.
After returning home, Qian Duoduo handed the wild vegetables she had dug to Jin Jinxiu, said she was a little tired, and went back to her room. Guo Ni saw Qian Duoduo lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). She went over and saw that Qian Duoduo had closed her eyes, so she didn't say anything and left the room. She had no idea that Qian Duoduo had already entered the farm space and harvested all the vegetables planted in the field. After that, she looked at the ginseng lying on the ground, thought for a moment, and tried to plant it. She found that the ginseng could not be planted in yellow soil. Qian Duoduo was a little scratched. This ginseng couldn't be planted. What should she do? Just leave it there? Wasn't that a waste?
She looked at the ginseng in her hand, then at the soil, and suddenly slapped her forehead. Oh dear, she was dumbfounded! The soil on her farm was yellow earth, and ginseng needed yellow earth. Could she even use this yellow earth? She tried putting the ginseng in the warehouse. Hey? It actually worked! This function is great; she could put anything she harvested outside in there too!
Qian Duoduo's consciousness withdrew from the farm. She secretly tossed a few dandelions she'd dug up outside back in. After returning to her room, her consciousness re-entered the farm and put the dandelions into the warehouse as well. That worked too. Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up. This was great! If she found anything extraordinary in the future, she could put it in the warehouse!
After dinner, Guo Ni and Qian Xiang went for a stroll. When you're dating, you always have things to whisper about! However, as they strolled along, they ran into Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi. These two were inseparable. The four of them stared at each other, all a little embarrassed. Guo Ni, however, greeted Feng Niaoniao generously. After they passed each other, Guo Ni and Qian Xiang noticed someone following them, and a glimpse of someone's clothes made Guo Ni recognize them.
After she left with Qian Xiang, the two of them circled back. Qian Xiang didn't understand what Guo Ni meant, but he still obediently followed behind her because his mother said: "Marrying a virtuous wife brings wealth for three generations." He had chosen his future wife and even had his mother's support, so listening to his future wife shouldn't be a problem!
After walking for a while, Qian Xiang saw Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi. They went to Aunt Chai's house to exchange vegetables, but there was a woman secretly following behind them. He looked closely and then looked at Guo Ni in surprise. What did she mean by this?
Guo Ni watched Feng Niaoniao and Yun Yi leave, and then Jiang Caiqin quickly left as well, taking Qian Xiang towards the Qian family home. Qian Xiang had some questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't voice them.
Guo Ni looked at Qian Xiang and smiled, saying, "Don't you have any questions for me?"
Qian Xiang pursed his lips, then shook his head.
Guo Ni stopped and turned to look at Qian Xiang: "You can ask."
Qian Xiang shook his head and said, "My mother said that you are a girl with your own ideas, and that you are smart and insightful. She told me to listen to you more."
Guo Ni didn't expect Qian Xiang to reply like that. Although it was her future mother-in-law who said it, it successfully pleased her.
