"Oh my, these two educated youths, Gu and Lin, are really great! They've made such a big contribution to our brigade!"
Only after the brigade leader spoke did everyone realize that it was Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing who had discovered the grain. An old woman said with a sigh.
"Yes, at this critical moment, having such educated youth is truly a blessing for our brigade!"
Another elderly woman continued speaking to the people around her, nodding repeatedly. Even those who usually disliked the educated youth showed rare smiles when they saw them.
"They are such good people! These are truly kind people who think of everyone!"
An elderly woman with gray hair wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes and couldn't help but say, "I understand that if it were someone else, they would definitely have secretly hidden the grain themselves."
"Who can argue with that? With the discovery of this batch of grain, we feel much more at ease."
The woman next to her also said happily that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She had been worried all these days about whether her family could survive and whether they would starve to death. Now they could finally live.
A respected elder in the village stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly: "Good...good...I knew Xiao Gu was a good person. He's been capable since he was a child. With people like him and educated youth like him in our brigade, our brigade's future will definitely get better and better!"
"When I grow up, I want to contribute to our brigade just like Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin!"
The children around them, hearing everyone praising Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, nodded in agreement. They didn't understand what the adults were saying, but they knew that it was because Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin Qing had found the food that they didn't have to go hungry.
"We really need to thank them properly later; they saved our lives!"
"Absolutely! We must thank you! We must thank you!"
"..."
On this day, Chaoyang Brigade was just like it was Chinese New Year. Everyone, regardless of age or gender, was happy. They patiently lined up and there were no arguments as usual. It was as if everyone had become a good-tempered person.
Of course, not everyone agreed with Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun's actions. A considerable number of people thought that Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun's actions were foolish. They believed that since they had discovered the grain, why didn't they secretly hide it themselves, or at least hide some of it? But according to the people who went up the mountain to transport the grain, the cave was full, which showed that Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing did not hide anything.
However, no matter how foolish Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing were, they were happy to see it happen, because if they weren't foolish, how could they have gotten a share of the food?
Lin Qing originally wanted to join in the fun, but when she thought about how she would be surrounded by villagers if she went over, she gave up the idea of going over to watch.
"Brother Nanxun, let's go up the mountain and check the traps I dug yesterday. I wonder if any small animals have fallen into them."
Unable to go and watch, Lin Qing suddenly remembered the trap she had dug yesterday. Because she was in a hurry to talk about the grain, Lin Qing hadn't checked the trap to see if there were any small animals in it.
"Okay, let's go see how well Qingqing's trap is done."
So Gu Nanxun carried a bamboo basket on his back and led Lin Qing up the mountain.
"If you're tired, you can go into the space. When we get there, I'll go in and bring you out."
Gu Nanxun and the others discovered long ago that a person will come out from wherever they enter the space. So, even if Lin Qing enters the space from home, if Gu Nanxun enters from the mountain, when Gu Nanxun brings Lin Qing out, they will be on the mountain. But if Lin Qing brings Gu Nanxun out, they will be at home.
"I'm not tired at all. Walking this short distance is no problem for me at all. Ever since I started practicing the Starry Sky Concentration Technique, I feel that my strength has increased a lot!"
"Hmm, the cultivation technique that Bai Yuntian gave us is quite good. If we get anything good in the future, we'll thank him again."
"That's easy. Just send him some of the grains, vegetables, and fruits produced in our space. These things contain spiritual energy, and I've found that they can accelerate our cultivation."
"Okay, I'll bring him some when I get back tonight."
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the place where Lin Qing had set up the trap. From a distance, Lin Qing saw the branches above the trap fall into it: "Brother Nanxun, hurry, an animal must have fallen in."
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing rushed forward, and sure enough, there was a rabbit in the trap. It was struggling to escape.
Lin Qing was overjoyed. She carefully reached down, trying to grab the rabbit's ears and lift it out.
"Be careful, I'll handle this!"
Seeing Lin Qing struggling to stretch her arms to grab the rabbit, Gu Nanxun pulled Lin Qing aside and said, while he jumped into the trap, grabbed the rabbit by the ear, and handed it to Lin Qing.
"Wow, what a big rabbit!" Lin Qing exclaimed excitedly as she took the rabbit.
Seeing her happy expression, Gu Nanxun smiled as well. "Looks like your trap worked well. Not bad, you have a strong learning ability!"
Lin Qing nodded smugly, "Of course, it's just a trap, too easy. We can add a dish for everyone this time."
Gu Nanxun helped Lin Qing tie up the rabbit, then put it in the bamboo basket and rearranged the trap. Before leaving, Gu Nanxun had a sudden inspiration and took some spiritual spring water from his spatial storage and sprinkled it on the trap.
Then he led Lin Qing to continue searching for other prey on the mountain. Along the way, Lin Qing was absent-minded, thinking about how to cook the rabbit, while Gu Nanxun silently followed behind her, protecting her.
Gu Nanxun then took Lin Xin for a walk around the mountain and picked some wild jujubes and wild grapes.
Wild jujubes are sweet and sour, and very delicious, but wild grapes are a bit sour. Gu Nanxun ate one and felt his teeth were about to fall out from the sourness, but Lin Qing ate it with great relish.
"Isn't it sour?"
Gu Nanxun watched Lin Qing eat wild grapes one after another and couldn't help but ask.
"Not sour at all? It's delicious, sweet and sour, and very appetizing!"
Gu Nanxun felt his mouth water just thinking about the taste of the wild grapes he had just enjoyed. He shook his head helplessly; the pregnant woman's sense of taste was truly peculiar.
Gu Nanxun remembered that there was a wild kiwi tree in a valley deep in the mountains. He could go there to take a look tomorrow. Since Qingqing liked sour food, she should like kiwi fruit too. He didn't remember that there was a kiwi tree in his space.
Yes, Gu Nanxun said he would go alone tomorrow, and then call Lin Qing out when they got to the deep mountains. That's what they did before when they were gathering mountain products in the deep mountains. After all, Lin Qing is pregnant, so they have to be careful.
