Qin Hanshu was resting that day, and Fan Hongxia came to see her early in the morning.
"We are going to pick cherries in the back hills today. Do you want to join us?"
There is a mountain behind the base. Zhou Weiguang had said a long time ago that he wanted to take Qin Hanshu there for a walk, but the trip never happened.
Anyway, I haven't planned anything for today, so I might as well go out for a walk.
Qin Hanshu agreed.
The sun was not too strong this month, but Qin Hanshu still wore a hat and went out, carrying a water bottle filled with water soaked in dried orange slices.
Last winter, when she was eating oranges, she threw two seeds into the space and made a lot of dried orange slices with the oranges.
I remember that Zhou Weiguang was surprised at that time and asked her where she bought so many oranges.
She lied and said she bought it on the black market.
Fortunately, many people in the family compound buy things on the black market. Zhou Weiguang and the others may have known about this for a long time, and they didn't say anything when they heard it.
From then on, whenever Qin Hanshu wanted to take something out of the space, he would say that it was bought from the black market.
The altitude of the back mountain is not high. It only takes about ten minutes to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. Moreover, the mountain roads are well-maintained, gentle and flat. The children in the family compound often run to the mountain to play.
Qin Hanshu's belly is not big, so it is convenient for her to walk.
But Liu Ercui's belly was very big. Fan Hongxia didn't call her at first, but when she heard about it, she insisted on coming to play.
When going up the mountain, Fan Hongxia paid special attention to her, and was relieved when she saw that she walked more agilely than herself.
There are several wild cherry trees on the mountain, which bear many cherries. Every year at this time, Fan Hongxia and her friends come to pick them.
Of course, it also depends on luck, it is possible that the cherries have already been picked by someone else.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t pick them, it’s good to walk around and exercise.
Qin Hanshu returned to the back mountain for the first time and looked around curiously.
The vegetation on the mountain is quite rich, and various wild flowers are in full bloom in this season, so the scenery is quite nice.
Qin Hanshu also discovered that he could actually see the department store from the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it was not far away.
Qin Hanshu had an idea. Why not just go over the mountain and take the tram to the department store?
Qin Hanshu pointed to the other side of the mountain and asked Fan Hongxia, "Sister-in-law, where is that? How long does it take to get to our department store?"
Fan Hongxia looked at it and said, "That's a school. It seems to be an accounting school. It only takes about ten minutes to get to your workplace by tram."
Fan Hongxia glanced at Qin Hanshu and said in surprise, "You don't want to go to work from the back mountain in the future, do you? Goodbye, sister, it will take you at least half an hour to cross this mountain, and it will take nearly an hour to take a car to the office. It won't save much time, and it will be tiring."
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Do you think I look tired after climbing up from the foot of the mountain?"
Fan Hongxia observed carefully and found that Qin Hanshu was not breathing heavily at all. Pregnant women have better physical strength than her who is not pregnant.
Fan Hongxia smiled, "You have really good physical fitness."
Not only was she not tired, Qin Hanshu also felt that it would only take her twenty minutes to climb over the mountain.
Qin Hanshu: "I sit in the office every day, lying on my desk for a long time, which actually makes me more tired. Proper exercise will make my body more comfortable."
Fan Hongxia thought about it, nodded in agreement and said, "You are right."
However, we have to wait until the baby is born.
"What are you talking about? Come and pick cherries!" Liu Ercui shouted over there.
The cherries from the wild cherry trees were extremely sour, but everyone was still in high spirits and filled up the several baskets they brought. There were five of us in the group, and each of us got about five or six pounds.
After eating the fruits produced in the space, Qin Hanshu rarely ate ordinary fruits, let alone the wild fruits grown on the mountain.
She fed all the cherries she picked from the mountain to the chickens in the space - the chickens were a little dissatisfied.
Then he picked about the same amount of cherries from the space, made cherry jam, and put it into the jars he had saved from canned food.
She only sent one can to Cao Jing, and didn't send any to others, in case someone asked her how to make it after seeing how good it tasted, and thought she was hiding something from others when they made it themselves.
She took a can to work and used it as a dip for her snack with crackers.
"Sister Zheng, do you want to get some hot water?" Qin Hanshu stood up and wanted to get some hot water to make milk powder and biscuits, and asked Sister Zheng if she wanted to go.
"Go, go, wait for me!" Sister Zheng reached into the drawer, took out a handful of tea leaves and threw them into the cup, "Let's go!"
The hot water room was at the elevator entrance, and the two walked towards there while talking.
"You're living a good life." Sister Zheng looked at Qin Hanshu with envy, "You haven't even given birth yet, and you're already eating all the good things."
She saw Qin Hanshu's milk powder cans. A can of that brand cost more than ten yuan. How much did Qin Hanshu earn in a month? She was willing to drink such expensive milk powder as water, which showed how well Qin Hanshu's man treated her.
Qin Hanshu smiled and said nothing.
There are not many people in the hot water room. Now that the weather is getting hotter, few people drink hot water.
"By the way, I saw you walking with two girls the other day, on the first floor of our department store." Sister Zheng asked with interest, "Who are those two girls? They look pretty good."
Qin Hanshu thought about it and thought, maybe Sister Zheng was talking about Cao Jing and Ru Mei?
"They are all performers in the song and dance troupe, one of them is my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?" Sister Zheng was surprised. "Are you married already?"
Qin Hanshu nodded: "The other one is not married, but he also has a partner."
As soon as Sister Zheng opened her mouth, Qin Hanshu knew what her purpose was.
As I said, women of this age seem to be very keen on matchmaking.
Sister Zheng sighed regretfully, "Xiao Lin from the Finance Department is a young man in his twenties who still has no girlfriend. He asked me to find one for him. He has good conditions himself, so his requirements for women are relatively high. I think the two girls with you are pretty good-looking, he will definitely like them."
He looks up to others, but others look down on him.
Qin Hanshu knew this Xiao Lin. Although he was not ugly, he was probably only about 1.6 meters tall and did not care about personal hygiene. Sometimes when they met in the corridor, he could smell the sour odor on his body from two or three meters away.
Maybe he thinks he has a decent job and is a technical secondary school student, so he is extremely arrogant. He always looks down on people at work and has no idea how to deal with people.
Qin Hanshu was glad that he had blocked Sister Zheng's words from the very beginning.
After fetching water and returning to the office, I found life noisy, as if something big had happened.
Sister Zheng is the most gossipy. She would grab someone and ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Ye Zhongping has committed a style problem and has been notified!"
