"Do you still need to go to work this afternoon?"
During lunch, Tang Baozhu asked Feng Yi if she could go mushroom picking with him if she didn't have to work.
The sun has been shining all morning, so there probably isn't much moisture left in the woods. If we don't go collect it now, many of them will be old and dry by tomorrow.
The speed is just that fast; the life cycle of mushrooms is a bit too short.
Feng Yi nodded, indicating that he still had to go in the afternoon. "I need to go to the office this afternoon to write a report. I need to write down the details of this mission and submit it. I might be able to rest tomorrow. Usually, we get a day off after a mission. We just want everyone to relax. If you want to do anything, I can go with you tomorrow."
"It's nothing much, it just rained heavily all day yesterday, and I thought a lot of mushrooms would grow after the rain. I was planning to pick mushrooms this morning, but everything was wet and damp, so I didn't go. I figured the sun would have dried them out by now, so I'm going this afternoon. If you're going to the office to write a report, go ahead. I'm not going anywhere too far, I'll just walk around here. There's absolutely no danger, don't worry."
Tang Baozhu felt that Feng Yi had serious things to do, and it was impossible for him to do nothing but accompany her to pick mushrooms. She was not that kind of person.
Feng Yi figured his wife was just looking for mushrooms near the house, so there was nothing to worry about. He agreed, thinking he'd finish the report as soon as possible and come back to be with her.
Tang Baozhu was particularly curious about their mission yesterday, wondering if they had gone to carry out disaster relief.
He asked out of curiosity, "Brother Yi, was there a flood somewhere during yesterday's mission?"
"Um."
Feng Yi responded with a sound of agreement and then fell silent. He felt that these were matters of the military and should not be discussed at home. Since his wife had already guessed, he simply responded and then said nothing more.
Tang Baozhu wasn't so oblivious. Since no one was saying anything, she wouldn't ask. She just felt there was no need to keep it a secret, since it wasn't a secret mission, just flood control and disaster relief.
Tang Baozhu fell silent, and Feng Yi wondered if his wife was angry because he had spoken too coldly.
I glanced at her several times and saw that her expression was normal, not like she was hiding anything. I felt relieved.
After finishing the meal, Feng Yi quickly cleared away the dishes before Tang Baozhu could, saying, "You rest for a while, I'll clean up. Didn't we say we were going to pick mushrooms this afternoon? Don't be too tired to climb the mountain."
"good."
Tang Baozhu was in great spirits. Since he told her to rest, she went to rest. Lying in bed, her wood-type supernatural power was running non-stop in her body, and she felt incredibly energetic.
I'm thinking of going to the cultivation world in the next world to have some fun. Then I can start practicing cultivation techniques. But thinking about how dangerous the cultivation world is, I don't know if I can survive to old age. Maybe I'll be killed halfway through my life.
Even though I hadn't even gone to the world of cultivation yet, I already felt it was very dangerous. Another thought in my mind was that I didn't know if Brother Xu had ascended to the immortal realm. If he had already ascended, I would feel even more doomed if I were alone in the unfamiliar world of cultivation.
I hope my luck will be better. Brother Xu is still in the cultivation world. It's always better to have someone protecting you than to fight alone.
Tang Baozhu lay in bed for a while, but she couldn't stay in bed any longer, so she got up, found a particularly large basket so that she could carry more without worrying about crushing it, and then said goodbye to Feng Yi, who was weeding in the field, and left.
Tang Baozhu thought Feng Yi was too diligent. Even during his lunch break, he would still go and pull weeds in the vegetable garden. It seemed like he was never idle. He was really too capable.
If he went to the countryside to earn work points, he was guaranteed to get a full ten centimeters every day, as he was both strong and hardworking.
Halfway there, Tang Baozhu stopped again, worried that it would rain again if she picked up half of the items, and was considering whether to bring an umbrella.
In the end, I just felt too lazy to bring it. Anyway, the mountain is so close to home, I can just run back when it starts to rain.
There aren't many trees on the small hillside, mostly just low shrubs. There aren't many large trees either, except behind the houses where there are many large trees. With large trees rooted there, there's no need to worry about landslides.
There are plenty of mushrooms in the bushes. After going through so many small worlds, I can recognize any edible mushroom, so I don't have to worry about picking any poisonous ones.
Tang Baozhu felt there were so many mushrooms on the hillside that she felt her basket was about to be full even though she hadn't gone far, which made her even more interested in picking them.
Seeing that the basket was full, I quickly took it home. Anyway, I hadn't gone very far, just a few minutes' walk. I just thought that picking so many mushrooms at once was probably a rare occurrence.
When I got home, Feng Yi was still there, but he was washing his hands and feet, so I figured he was about to change his clothes and leave.
"Brother Yi, why are there so many mushrooms on this mountain? And I haven't seen anyone else picking mushrooms. Don't the other family members pick any?"
"There aren't many mushrooms on the mountains here. The families who have been here for a long time all have their own familiar spots to pick mushrooms. They have to find many more places. Although there aren't many mushrooms on the mountains here, it's enough for our own consumption."
This was something Tang Baozhu hadn't expected. She had thought there were already plenty of mushrooms here, but it turned out she was just ignorant. Others had found plenty of mushrooms in the area, and she was the only one making a fuss.
I took a large winnowing basket, poured the mushrooms out of the basket, and spread them out to dry, so that I wouldn't have to worry about the mushrooms getting too damaged.
“Honey, these mushrooms can’t be left to dry like this. We have to use a needle and thread to string them together by the base, and then hang them under the eaves to dry. That way, we won’t have to worry about them spoiling.”
"Okay, we'll do it when we get back tonight. There's no time right now. I saw so many mushrooms on the mountain, and I can't wait to pick them. By the way, aren't you going to the army? Hurry up and go, come back sooner so you can help when you get back."
Feng Yi had just changed into clean shoes and socks, and his hands and feet were already washed. He didn't refuse when he heard his wife's words, but just nodded, indicating that he would help with the chores when he got back.
