Chapter 10: Going up the mountain and meeting my sister



Jiang Suinsui scooped water from the water tank and poured it into the big pot. He rinsed the pot first and then prepared to find firewood to light the stove.

However, she turned around and saw that there was no shortage of firewood at home, but it was all coarse firewood that had just been chopped off. There was not much flammable firewood and weeds left. In the past, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang would chop the firewood before using it, or collect some twigs and weeds from the mountains.

Jiang Suinshun now feels that he is not yet capable of chopping wood, and he is suddenly confused.

She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then decided to go to the mountain first.

Jiang Suinsui originally wanted to prepare some side dishes, but then he looked at the jar of pickled vegetables, smacked his lips, and shook his head.

How can eating salted vegetables every day be nutritious?

Since we are going to the mountains... Oh right! Jiang Suinsui's eyes suddenly lit up, let's go pick some wild vegetables!

Grandma Jiang cooked wild vegetable soup two days ago. Although it was bland, it was still very fragrant. It was better than eating salty dishes every day!

Jiang Suisui acted immediately. He found a backpack in the kitchen, put it on his back, slung a small vegetable basket over his shoulder, and rushed to the back mountain in a hurry.

·

Jiang Suinsui has been here for a few days, and although he hasn't seen the whole place yet, he has walked around the mountain behind his house several times.

It's quite new. In the past, mountain climbing was a form of exercise and leisure for people, but for the people here, it is just an ordinary daily routine.

Every day, I have to go up the mountain to chop firewood, dig wild vegetables, and pick some mushrooms and fungus when I'm lucky. If you go deep into the mountains, you may see small wild animals, but Jiang Suisui didn't dare to go deep into the mountains. Only the most experienced villagers in the village dare to go into the deep mountains.

As Jiang Suinsui walked up the mountain, he picked up some scattered branches on the ground and threw them into the backpack behind him. In a short while, he had filled most of the basket.

As for wild vegetables...it was only after she went up the mountain that she realized that she had no idea what wild vegetables looked like!

Jiang Sui Sui squatted down and scanned the grass carefully. However, the weeds on the ground all looked the same, with green roots and leaves. It was impossible to tell which ones were edible and which ones were not.

Jiang Suisui sighed and thought to herself, if she went to ask Grandma Jiang what the wild vegetables she usually eats look like, would she be considered stupid again?

It is hard to believe that a native country person cannot recognize wild vegetables. Children in the village have been picking wild vegetables for their families all over the mountains and fields since they could walk and run.

Jiang Suinsui squatted on the ground feeling a little disappointed, but at this moment, she heard some chattering coming from another direction. The sound gradually grew louder, and it seemed that someone was coming this way.

Jiang Suisui turned her head and headed in the direction of the people coming. When they slowly approached, she found that they were a group of children carrying baskets and holding shovels and small hoes in their hands.

The leader was a chubby boy of about ten years old, holding a slightly younger, prettier girl by the hand. The two of them were walking in front, chatting and laughing as they went.

When they passed by Jiang Suishun, they glanced at her with an inexplicable hostility in their eyes, but they didn't say anything and just walked away quickly.

However, Jiang Suinsui, who was left behind, could still vaguely hear their whispers.

"Brother, hurry up! Didn't you tell me there were mushrooms up ahead? Don't let Jiang Suishun find you, or she'll try to steal them!"

"It's okay, we have more people this time, we are not afraid of her!"

"That's right, Sister Hongxia, we will protect you, don't be afraid of her!"

…………

Good guy, my original reputation was bad enough, and I even stole things from children.

Jiang Sui Sui was simply speechless. Judging from their outfits, they might also be here to pick wild vegetables. She had thought about joining them and learning from them. But now she decided not to bother them.

Jiang Suinsui turned around, changed direction, and went in the opposite direction of them.

Soon they arrived at a large open space with lush bushes. She found a place to sit down and looked down at the grass and trees around her. It was lush, but she might return empty-handed.

Jiang Suisui simply lay down on his back. The natural grass was very thick and soft. There were also dense trees here, providing shade so he didn't feel the sun.

It feels so comfortable... She crossed her hands behind her head, resting one hand on her arms and crossing her legs, looking up at the branches above her head and the sunlight filtering through the gaps between the branches. Occasionally, she could hear the chirping of birds. It was a rare moment of leisure.

It’s impossible to dig wild vegetables, so I’ll just lie down for a while before going back. I can only get some cabbage leaves to cook some soup... Jiang Suisui thought as he slowly closed his eyes and squinted in such a peaceful atmosphere.

"rustle……"

There were footsteps coming. Jiang Suinsui was just taking a nap and was not asleep. She was soon awakened. She opened her eyes, looked sideways, and found a small and slender figure.

He was wearing a coarse linen shirt, which was loose and made him look particularly thin. His trousers were a little short, revealing his thin ankles and half of his calves. He was holding a small basket in his hand and searching on the ground as he walked.

Another kid comes… Jiang Suinshun thought in a daze.

She was lying behind a tree, and if you passed by without looking carefully, you probably wouldn't notice her.

Jiang Suinsui turned her head and stopped looking. She didn't intend to say anything. According to her original overbearing personality, perhaps all the children in the village had been bullied by her. It was better not to scare others.

She closed her eyes and continued to take a nap, preparing to lie down for a while after the children left and then go home to cook.

"Ah..." A clear voice suddenly sounded above Jiang Suisui's head, and the voice seemed a little surprised.

Jiang Suinsui opened her eyes and saw that the child, who was some distance away from her before, had quietly walked in front of her without her knowing when.

The child opened his eyes wide, with a look of panic and surprise on his face, as if he was frightened by Jiang Suisui's sudden opening of his eyes.

Wow, what a pretty girl!

Jiang Suinsui saw the child's appearance clearly and couldn't help but be delighted.

The child in front of me had big eyes, which were round because of a little fright, like a cat's eyes.

She has small and delicate facial features, fair skin, and a pure temperament. She has two small braids behind her ears, which makes her look cute and adorable.

I didn’t expect to see such a cute little thing in the countryside in the 1970s.

Jiang Suisui quickly sat up and greeted her with a smile: "Hi! How are you?"

As soon as she said this, the girl in front of her took a few steps back and distanced herself from her. There was a look of alert on her face and her fingers unconsciously gripped the handle of the basket.

Jiang Suinsui's smile froze on her face. Wow, so cool. Sure enough, this was another child who had been bullied by her original self.

Her voice became softer and softer, and she soothed him, "Don't be afraid. I won't do anything. I'll just lie here and rest for a while. If you have something to do, I won't disturb you."

The child seemed to be stunned for a moment, then looked at her doubtfully, but gradually relaxed. She pursed her lips, with hesitation on her face, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing her nervous and shy expression, Jiang Sui Sui couldn't help but smile like an auntie: "By the way, what's your name?"

The child seemed a little confused after hearing this. She blinked and looked at Jiang Suisui with a puzzled look on her face.

"You don't know me?" she asked.

Wow, what a sweet and soft sound!

Jiang Suisui screamed in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface: "Well, I was sick some time ago, and my memory is a little bit bad."

The village is so small that I know almost every household. There's nothing I can do. I can only say that my memory is not good.

"Oh..." The child looked at her thoughtfully, then said slowly, "I'm Song Yuxue."

Song Yuxue, what a good name! She lives up to her name!

Jiang Suisui admired it in her heart, and then she was suddenly stunned.

Song Yuxue?! Isn't this the name of the hero's sister?

Jiang Suishun stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Song Yuxue thought she still hadn't remembered, so she added, "Song Weizheng is my brother."

But in my heart I was thinking, no wonder I heard others say that she became stupid after falling into the water, it seems to be true.

Song Yuxue thought of this and became more worried. If the person is stupid, doesn't the brother have to take responsibility? He is lazy, greedy, and overbearing. Now he is also stupid. His brother is so pitiful...

Jiang Suinsui couldn't hear what Song Yuxue was thinking. She was still digesting the information about Song Yuxue.

Although the original book does not have much content, part of it is about the hero's sister Song Yuxue.

After the heroine was reborn, she discovered that Song Yuxue was made a big star by the hero in her previous life. She was envious and jealous, and became more determined to be with the hero. However, she had complicated feelings towards this future sister-in-law.

Song Yuxue is young, but her personality is a bit cold and aloof, and it's hard to get close to her. No matter how the heroine smiles at her, Song Yuxue is always indifferent to her. She only shows a childish smile to her mother and brother.

Over time, the heroine became a little cold-hearted, and only treated Song Yuxue reluctantly for the sake of the hero.

Jiang Suisui looked at the girl in front of him, thinking about the plot of the original book, and felt that he couldn't agree with her. Although her face was stern, her cheeks were slightly pouting because of pursing her lips, which obviously looked very soft! What a lovely little girl!

"Do you remember?" A voice interrupted Jiang Suinsui's thoughts. She looked up and saw Song Yuxue's cat-like eyes looking at her.

Jiang Suishun nodded quickly: "Yes, I remember!" This is her future sister-in-law!

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know everything about your brother and I?"

Song Yuxue nodded: "The marriage has been decided, of course I know."

"Oh..." Jiang Suinsui was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Although she was engaged to her brother, she was not ready to really marry the male protagonist.

The male lead doesn't like her, and she doesn't know him well either. She plans to delay the marriage until the college entrance examination, or discuss it with the male lead and cancel the marriage altogether.

Now facing the hero's family, I feel a little embarrassed. I forced them to get engaged, and then went back on my word and cancelled the marriage. It was too much trouble.
