It took half an hour for Mu Cheng to visit the entire orchard.
When she went out, Wang Xintong was still picking peaches on the tree, while Xiaojiu was lying on the grass under the peach tree and taking a nap.
She took out a freshly picked orange from the space and peeled it as she walked.
Seeing the oranges in Mu Cheng's hand, Wang Xintong said happily, "Hey! There are more oranges."
Seeing that there were already many peaches under the tree, Mu Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't pick them. If there are too many, they will rot if you can't eat them all."
Wang Xintong looked at the red peaches around her with a painful expression, "But there are so many, it would be a shame not to pick them."
Mu Cheng smiled and said, "If we pick them and let them rot, wouldn't that be a pity?"
Wang Xintong thought about it and agreed, so she came down from the tree.
When the two returned to their residence, Tang Nuo and the others had not returned yet. They took out some oranges and peaches, washed them, and sat in the yard to eat them.
At around 2:30 in the afternoon, Tang Nuo and his friends finally returned with Yang Yiguo. After sitting down and having a simple meal, they went to Yang Yiguo's house together. Yang Yiguo collected all the food in the village and brought back all the vegetables from the fields to make pickles and dried vegetables. He also collected the water stored in each household.
Mu Cheng walked slowly behind. The work of moving things would not fall on her, so it was useless for her to walk so fast.
Tang Nuo slowed down his pace and waited for Mu Cheng to come closer before he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Cheng, why did you agree to take Yang Yiguo away? You said at the beginning..." You can't take in anyone at will.
Before Tang Nuo could finish his question, Mu Cheng spoke up, "I don't take people in casually because I don't want to be responsible for anyone, I don't want to take care of anyone, and I don't want to be betrayed. But Yang Yiguo is obviously not that kind of person. Although he's only fifteen, he can do anything and has special abilities. He doesn't need our careful protection. Taking him with us won't cause us any trouble."
Tang Nuo looked at Mu Cheng in surprise, "Is that why?"
Mu Cheng smiled and shook her head. "This is just a prerequisite. The most important thing is the environment Yang Yiguo grew up in. He grew up in the army. Children like him are full of justice from a young age. In addition, his father, grandparents are all soldiers, and he didn't abandon his elderly grandfather to escape alone after the apocalypse. I think this child will definitely not become an ungrateful person. If we take him with us, he will only be grateful to us and will never do anything to let us down."
Mu Cheng paused and continued, "These are rational analyses. Another reason is that I respect soldiers like my grandfather. Grandpa Yang should be about the same age as my grandfather. Since we both served in the capital, they might know each other."
Mu Cheng is not a completely heartless person. At least she has great respect for soldiers. Of course, this respect is definitely not blind obedience. She can also distinguish between good and bad. She does not have any good feelings towards those wolves who are only wearing military uniforms.
When Tang Nuo heard these words from Mu Cheng for the first time, he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart. He was proud of being a soldier, and he was also proud that Mu Cheng never forgot his roots and always remembered that he was also the descendant of a soldier.
He smiled and said nothing.
When I walked into Yang Yiguo's house, I saw a wooden cart in the yard, which was brought from somewhere.
Yang Yiguo took them to the cellar to move things.
Bags of rice were carried out, baskets of sweet potatoes and potatoes were carried out, as well as dozens of buckets of water and dozens of bags of dried vegetables.
Seeing these, everyone felt overwhelmed. Although these things were good and they didn't have to worry about not having food along the way, with so many things, it would take at least two trucks to move them away. However, they had nowhere to find a truck now.
