Chapter 373: Smart Bird
Grandma Chen felt sorry for Su Ruanruan, so she made Su Ruanruan do all the work like collecting firewood and fetching water. She didn't let Su Ruanruan do anything at home.
Whether it's cooking, washing dishes, sweeping the floor or doing laundry, Grandma Chen takes care of it all.
Granny Chen was extremely persistent about this, and it was useless for Su Runrun to say anything.
There was no other way, Su Runrun could only obey Grandma Chen.
For Su Ruanruan, Grandma Chen is getting older, so she should enjoy more of her life. As she gets older, taking care of Grandma Chen is her responsibility and something she is happy to do.
But seeing that Grandma Chen's attitude was firm, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry when she talked too much, Su Runrun was also fine.
Fortunately, Grandma Chen is in good health and has gotten used to doing these things over the years, so it doesn’t tire her out.
Hearing that Su Ruanruan was going into the mountains to collect firewood, Granny Chen hesitated, "Why don't you wait for Cheng Jin to come back and go together?"
Granny Chen was still a little worried about Su Ruanruan going into the mountains alone. What if she ran into a wild boar again? "It's okay, grandma. I'll just pick up some branches and come back quickly. It just rained, so I'll take a look for mushrooms. If I go too late, the others in the production team will probably have picked them all up."
The crops have just sprouted, and there is basically nothing to do in the fields right now. No need to work, and it just rained, so won’t everyone go to the mountains?
Mushrooms appear after the rain and wild vegetables are more tender. Picking them and taking them home can add a dish to the family and save some food for the family.
Seeing that Granny Chen still refused to agree, Su Ruanruan had to add, "Grandma, I want to eat shepherd's purse dumplings. I'll go dig some shepherd's purse and bring it back! Okay? Grandpa, do you want to eat some?"
Su Aimin, who had just woken up from a coma and had not eaten fresh dumplings made with shepherd's purse for many years, swallowed subconsciously after hearing Su Ruanruan's words.
Want to eat.
Su Aimin wanted to save face, so he didn't say these two words in the end, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Grandma Chen said it all.
Seeing this, Grandma Chen had no choice but to agree.
"Then you should go earlier and come back earlier. I'm watching the time! If you don't come back in an hour, I'll go look for you!"
"Okay!"
Su Ruanruan didn't want to do anything else. An hour of collecting firewood, digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms was almost enough.
She went out with the backpack on her back and soon entered the woods at the foot of the mountain.
Just like Su Ruanruan said before, there were already quite a few people here. Everyone was either carrying a backpack or a basket. They were walking slowly, their eyes fixed on the ground, and they were holding a branch in their hands, constantly digging at the ground.
Su Ruanruan glanced at them and walked straight forward.
There are too many people here, and you can't get anything in an hour.
She was a fast walker and was familiar with the mountains. After more than ten minutes, she had left the main group and arrived at an empty forest.
New buds have sprouted on the branches, and occasionally a bird will stop on them, chirp a few clear calls, and then flap its wings and fly away.
The conditions were difficult in the first two years. Everything that ran on the ground, swam in the water, or flew in the sky, as long as it was eatable, was caught and eaten.
It is precisely because of this that the birds in the mountains have learned their lesson. They all stand on high branches, never fly down, and will not stay on the branches for long.
Su Ruanruan had no interest in these little birds. The two taels of meat were not enough to fill her teeth.
