Chapter Eleven: Popeye the Sailor Who Didn't Eat Spinach



Without hesitation, Song Lili dashed off to find Yang Mei.

Song Lili entrusted Song Fang to Yang Tao. Song Fang had been getting along well with her lately, so Song Lili felt more at ease and let them go herd the pigs.

Then she grabbed Yangmei and rushed towards the large group without telling Yangmei what they were going to do.

Yang Mei was being pulled along, staggering and wobbling, only concerned with maintaining her balance. She didn't even have time to ask Song Lili what they were going to do.

When Song Lili stopped, Yang Mei, panting, asked intermittently, "Lili, why did you drag me here?"

This is a small stream of water that flows down from the mountains, specifically from between the three mountains of Hongqi Village.

Beyond that was the First Brigade, then the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade had a small group between them, and the Fourth Brigade and the Fifth Brigade had a small group between them.

Song Lili took a deep breath before saying, "I'm going into the mountains. Do you want to come with me? Maybe we can find some good food."

There's no large-scale industrial manufacturing yet, and the environment hasn't been severely damaged. The environment in the mountains should be even better.

Yang Mei swallowed hard, not forgetting to glare at Song Lili, "You've dragged me all this way, and you're only asking me now?"

Song Lili smiled but didn't say anything, just kept walking forward. She knew Yang Mei would definitely be with her.

Yang Mei never considered refusing; she had gone to the mountains to find food when she was starving before.

Last year's harvest was slightly better, so this year I've just been going to the mountains less often. Now that I have some free time, it's nice to go for a walk in the mountains.

Yang Mei asked in confusion, "Then why did you come to the Fifth Brigade? Aren't there mountains behind and in front of our Fifth Brigade?"

To be honest, Hongqi Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, squeezed into a ravine. It is surrounded by three mountains where the fields are located and another mountain range that stretches out to an unknown location behind it.

Anyway, from the top of the mountain, all you can see are mountains in all directions, so Yang Mei doesn't understand why Song Lili insisted on bringing a large group.

Song Lili smiled mysteriously. Of course, she wouldn't tell Yang Mei that she was going to set her up with her sweetheart! She could only laugh it off and say, "Let's call Li Qinghua and the others. They can help us if we encounter any danger."

Fearing Yangmei would refuse, he added, "Besides, we're good friends, of course we should go together! If we find anything good, we can share it equally..."

Yang Mei initially disagreed, but when she heard that things could be shared equally, she was tempted. These days, no one is having an easy time, so everyone should share what they can.

But the thought of meeting Li Qinghua made her blush with shyness, completely unaware that the "Li Qinghua" Song Lili was talking about was not the same person as the Li Qinghua she thought she knew.

But it doesn't matter, because Li Qinghua and Zhang Qinghua are always inseparable. If one of them is seen, the other is definitely nearby.

Sure enough, Song Lili had only walked a short distance across the irrigation ditch when she saw Li Qinghua coming out of his house. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw the bayberries.

However, Song Lili did not realize that she seemed rather oblivious when it came to matters of the heart.

Li Qinghua strode over and asked excitedly, "What are you two doing here? Did you come looking for us?"

Yang Mei nodded with a smile, "Go call Qinghua. Lili said she wants to go to the mountains. Let's all go together."

Li Qinghua's eyes lit up even more. "Okay, I'll go call him right now. You guys wait a moment!" He didn't want to ask the two girls to come along, since it wasn't his own home.

When Li Qinghua arrived, Zhang Qinghua was teaching her younger brother Qingguo to write and do arithmetic.

Li Qinghua said with a smile, "Brother Qinghua, let Qingguo figure it out himself. Let's go for a walk in the mountains."

Zhang Qinghua raised his head and looked at Li Qinghua quietly, but Li Qinghua understood what he meant: Why go to the mountains?

Li Qinghua smiled so brightly her eyes were almost invisible. "Meimei and Lili are here. They said they want to go to the mountains with us to look for something." When she mentioned Lili, she gave Zhang Qinghua a half-smile.

Zhang Qinghua paused in his writing, casually tossed down his pen, stood up, and said to Zhang Qingguo, who had been looking at him expectantly since hearing about the trip to the mountains, "Write well, I'll check it when I get back."

Zhang Qingguo cried out, "Brother, no! I want to go to the mountains too! Please take me with you!"

Li Qinghua smiled and refused, saying, "No, children can't go."

Zhang Qingguo shouted, "I'm not a child anymore, Brother Qinghua, I'm fifteen years old, do you know that?" As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the table several times.
