Round, orange fruits, slightly larger than soybeans.
I don't know him.
I've picked them.
Smaller than peanuts, round fruits, I don't recognize them, so I keep picking them.
I encountered wild eggs.
The entire family was wiped out.
A small bird fluttering in flight?
A pebble flew by, now come down!
When you come across elm mushrooms, pick them!
There's a bulge under the withered fallen leaves.
It's either a snake or a mushroom.
It didn't look like a snake when I opened it.
Gugua.
Frogs on the mountain.
Okay, there are frogs on this mountain too.
I disturbed the little one.
Su Ruobai's playful nature was aroused.
I gave it a few sips of the spiritual spring water.
He muttered to himself, "Consider this a token of my respect for you!"
…
Su Ruobai returned with a full load.
There's just no time to pick her ginseng seeds.
Never mind, going tomorrow will be the same.
I went to Xiao Yichen's house.
She asked Aunt Xiao what all of these were.
Is it tasty?
Aunt Xiao looked at the pile that her third daughter-in-law had made.
My lips twitched slightly.
Can she say that her third daughter-in-law is amazing?
Wild eggs, elm mushrooms, wood ear fungus, wild eggplant, sour jujubes, persimmons, raspberries, a pheasant, two wild birds, and a small, alive frog.
Su Ruobai felt a little embarrassed looking at the little frog.
I thought it was fun at the time.
He gave her a few sips of the spiritual spring water.
Then, she gained a tagalong.
This guy won't leave.
"Su, what are you going to do with this frog? Eat it?"
Su Ruobai didn't know either.
This stuff isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
"Keep it, we can use it to catch mosquitoes later."
Aunt Xiao chuckled, "He's just like a child, very playful."
“Okay, put them in Auntie’s yard. This is a wild eggplant, it’s edible, but a bit bitter. This is a sour jujube, you can tell from the name, it’s very sour. This is a persimmon, they say it’s called blueberry, it’s sweet and sour. This is a raspberry, it’s sweet and sour. This one is the best.”
Su Ruobai was still frowning.
So all that work for her resulted in nothing good to eat.
At the end, there's a delicious raspberry.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go pick some fruit to eat these next few days..."
Aunt Xiao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her silly daughter-in-law.
This child, all he knows is eating.
Then I thought about it again, and realized there was a question I had to ask.
Xiao Su's son told her about her situation.
With both parents gone, having grandparents, uncles, and aunts is worse than having none at all.
Oh, poor child.
Finally, gritting her teeth, she asked, "Su, who else is in your family? I want to talk to them about the bride price."
Su Ruobai didn't care about the bride price at all: "There's no one left in the family, so there's no need to give a bride price. We can just get married directly."
Aunt Xiao was even more amused; this girl was truly incredibly naive.
But their family isn't the kind of family that's morally reprehensible.
The necessary items must be included!
"That won't do. We can't do the traditional betrothal and marriage ceremony, but we have to have everything that's required."
"We're a respectable family, Su, don't worry, your aunt will absolutely not let you suffer any injustice."
Su Ruobai was puzzled; why was she acting so aggrieved?
"No, it's not a bother for me, no need to go to any trouble."
Thinking about how she wanted to go into the mountains more often to find good food, she asked again, "Auntie, I have a question. Since I'll be spending most of my time in the mountains, can I take leave from work?"
Aunt Xiao nodded repeatedly without even making a ridge.
The child only has this one request, why can't we grant it?
"Yes, of course you can. You're getting married soon, and there's a lot to prepare. Go ahead and do your thing."
Besides, there are so many people in our family. If you don't go to work, no one will say anything. Don't worry.
"Okay, I'll take half of the eggs and elm mushrooms. The rest are for your aunt."
There is actually plenty of space.
Taking the eggs was just for show.
This touched Aunt Xiao deeply.
She's going to be my future daughter-in-law.
What a filial son!
Even if I don't eat it myself, I still want to be filial to her.
No wonder I spotted it at first sight!
...
And so, Su Ruobai lived the life of a mountain dweller for ten days.
They were so happy they forgot about home.
Xiao Yichen often couldn't find the people he was looking for.
He could only sigh longingly at his daughter-in-law.
On this day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Su Ruobai went into the mountains again.
But this time is different.
A man carrying his tools.
I followed her quietly.
