Chapter 69: Picking Wolfberries in the Bamboo Forest



"Huh? The wolfberries here have been picked by someone else. Our trip today is a waste!"

Looking at the empty hillside, Jiang Yanli plucked a wolfberry branch and slapped it in her hand with some regret.

"It doesn't matter if it's gone. We picked a lot yesterday anyway!"

"Since we're here, why don't we take a look around?"

Tang Xinyi patted her sister-in-law's shoulder to comfort her.

It’s so red, I guess a lot of people have seen it. Anyway, the big ones have been picked, so it’s okay to leave the small ones for others.

"You two, come with me. I know where there are more!"

Seeing that the two of them were a little discouraged, Jiang Yanzhi decided to take them to his secret base.

"Really?"

After hearing what her elder brother said, Jiang Yanli happily threw away the wolfberry branch in her hand and returned to her usual energetic appearance.

"Then please, Comrade Jiang Yanzhi, lead the way. Whether we can gain anything today depends on you!"

Tang Xinyi held Jiang Yanli's arm and followed behind Jiang Yanzhi. The few of them walked further and further away.

"It's just through the bamboo forest. It's a very secret place. Apart from a few people, few people know about it."

Jiang Yanzhi led the way while explaining things to his young wife.

"There's a spring deep in this bamboo forest that comes from underground. Whenever we went hunting in the mountains, we would go there and roast our prey!"

What Jiang Yanzhi meant by hunting was catching pheasants, rabbits, birds, etc.

This was what he did a few years ago, before he got involved in the black market business.

But since I started doing a serious job, I haven't experienced this kind of life.

"Brother, why didn't you take me with you when you went hunting in the mountains?"

"I haven't grilled anything to eat in the mountains yet."

Jiang Yanli felt a little sad when she heard that her elder brother had actually gone to the mountains to hunt for food without her knowledge.

Her elder brother is actually hiding a secret from her, and she also wants to eat the roasted prey in the mountains, okay?

"I always go into the mountains with my buddies. Why are you, a little girl, following me?"

"Besides, we're not just hunting, we're also swimming in the river. What will you do then?"

Jiang Yanzhi was speechless.

This girl of mine likes to get involved in everything, but there are some things that a little girl should not get involved in.

Could it be that she was watching them while they were taking a bath naked?

What are you thinking about? Day by day.

"That's not what I meant. I meant you can take me with you when you go hunting, but I won't go with you when you go swimming!"

"Hmph, stinky old man, shameless!"

Jiang Yanli was choked by her elder brother's words and punched her elder brother hard on the back with her little fist.

"Hey, you little girl have grown up. Do you even dare to hit me?"

"Look at how I deal with you today!"

Jiang Yanzhi pretended to return it, and Jiang Yanli was so scared that she ran away.

"Sister-in-law, help me! Sister-in-law, you have to protect me! My brother is going to hit someone!"

Jiang Yanli immediately hid behind Tang Xinyi, then showed her head and made faces at Jiang Yanzhi.

"You're relying on your sister-in-law to pamper you. When your sister-in-law is no longer around, I'll beat you up!"

Jiang Yanzhi was worried that he might accidentally hurt his young wife, so he had to give up.

"You two, stop messing around, we still have to go pick some wolfberries!"

Tang Xinyi pulled the person behind her out, grabbed his arm, and dragged him forward.

"Yes, we are here to pick wolfberries, brother, you can't mess around!"

Jiang Yanli raised her little head proudly and glared at her elder brother fiercely.

“Is this my fault again?”

Jiang Yanzhi glared back helplessly, then strode forward, no longer paying any attention to his mischievous sister.

"We're almost there, just turn around the stone forest!"

Jiang Yanzhi jumped onto a big rock in one go, then bent down and came back to pull his young wife.

"How many people have to be stopped by just this big rock!"

Tang Xinyi took a look and thought that it would not be easy for her to climb up if she was alone.

"Brother, you forgot about me!"

Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law had climbed onto the big rock and she was the only one left standing below, Jiang Yanli shouted at them anxiously.

"Aren't you very capable? If you have the ability, you can climb up by yourself."

Jiang Yanzhi stood on a big rock, looking down at his little sister.

Who made her provoke me? If I don't teach her a lesson, she won't know who is the king.

"Sister-in-law, my brother doesn't care about me, come and help me!"

You little brat, you still want to threaten her?

Don’t you see that her sister-in-law is here? Can she just stay down there and wait alone?

"Hurry up and pull Yanli up. It's getting late. We have to pick the wolfberries before dark!"

They came up early today and didn't have to collect firewood, so they had plenty of time.

But even so, before seeing how many wolfberries there were, Tang Xinyi still wanted to complete the task quickly.

"That's right, big brother, you can't ignore the overall situation because of personal grudges!"

Jiang Yanli pinched her waist and looked at the people above, with a smug look in her eyes.

"Hmph, for the sake of your sister-in-law, I'll spare you today, but don't let me do anything to you in the future!"

He finally found an opportunity to teach his sister a lesson, but unfortunately his wife pleaded for her, so he couldn't continue to make things difficult for her.

So he reached out and pulled his little sister up from the ground.

Then the three of them continued to walk inside together.

This path was extremely difficult to walk on, and sometimes they had to use their hands and feet to crawl across it.

But after climbing this difficult road, there is a place with beautiful scenery in front of you.

I saw a clear spring near the foot of the mountain, with water bubbling out of the depression.

And behind it is a large area of ​​wolfberries.

If all these wolfberries were picked, there would be at least ten pounds.

If we dry the wolfberries into dried form, I guess our family won’t be able to finish them in a year.

"Yan Li, hurry up!"

Seeing such a large field of wolfberries, Tang Xinyi couldn't sit still anymore, so she hurried over and started picking them.

"Sister-in-law, let's take off the bottom one first. We can't reach the high places, so let brother do it!"

Jiang Yanli didn't hesitate. It was just this piece of red, and it would be a shame if she didn't pick it off now.

Seeing that the two women had already started picking wolfberries, Jiang Yanzhi jumped from the side to a higher rock.

Then start picking the wolfberries from the high places.

They were having a great time picking wolfberries here, but they didn't expect that they were at Director Li's home in town, where he had just returned home.

When he was picking up the documents, he saw the notebook that Tang Xinyi gave him, so he took it out, thinking that he forgot to return a new one today, so he could only do it tomorrow.

However, he was also curious about what Tang Xinyi would record in the notebook, so he opened the title page of the notebook and read the contents inside.
