She didn't expect to find any precious medicinal herbs, she just wanted to chop some firewood in the marginal area.
The forest was very dense, and there were many dead small trees and tree trunks. Ye Qing soon chopped down a bundle of them, and met Zhao Qingmei on the way down the mountain carrying them.
After being scolded by her mother, she went up the mountain reluctantly to chop firewood. She saw Ye Qing walking down with a bundle of firewood on her back. Although there was a lot of firewood, it was not thick, just the kind that women like them could chop.
So I took the initiative to greet her: "Hello, sister-in-law? Where did you cut this? The tree trunks I passed by were all too thick to be cut."
Ye Qing smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Come on! I'll take you there! It's almost dark, and you probably can't cut much by yourself, so I'll help you."
Zhao Qingmei wanted to refuse, but she saw Ye Qing already walking forward, so she had to follow her.
When they got there, Ye Qing put down the firewood on her shoulders and said to Zhao Qingmei, "There's a lot of firewood here, hurry up and chop it! It will be dangerous when the sun goes down."
This is just the edge of the mountains, there are not many wild animals here, most are some pheasants and rabbits, there is no danger. Going further in is deep mountains, it is said that there are not only wolves in the deep mountains, but also tigers and other beasts.
Ye Qing didn't dare to stay in the mountain after dark. What if a wild animal came out from the deep mountains? Her small body was not enough to fill their teeth.
Zhao Qingmei also knew this, and felt a little embarrassed when she saw Ye Qing helping her, so she had to say, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go back first. I can do it alone."
Ye Qing smiled at her: "You are so young, how can you do such rough work? Don't worry, I will help you, it will be done soon."
"If you ask me, you are at an age where you should be studying. How can we let you do this kind of physical labor? It's a waste, isn't it?"
Zhao Qingmei got tired after chopping for a while. She stood up and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you been to school?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, I did! Unfortunately, my family didn't allow me to continue my studies before I graduated from high school. If I could continue my studies for another one or two years, I could enter university!"
Zhao Qingmei chopped the wood vigorously: "So you are so educated? You and Captain Qin are a perfect match!"
"Do you know? He is the most educated person in our military region. He even attended military school!"
"Oh?" Ye Qing couldn't help but straighten up. She really didn't know this! Even the book didn't mention it.
Zhao Qingmei smiled and said, "You don't know if I guess. There is one more thing you definitely don't know either!"
"My dad told me that Captain Qin was originally going to join the Air Force and had passed all the tests, but he was rejected because of a scar on his leg. That's why he came to us."
"Of course, I also heard from my dad that the entire military region felt sorry for him! Pilots are so precious. It's a pity that such a talented person like Captain Qin was lost!"
"Oh?" Ye Qing was even more curious. The air force at that time was a national treasure! Oh, no! Pilots were national treasures in any era.
Qin Ye actually missed such a good opportunity because of a scar! Ye Qing had seen that scar before, it looked like a burn.
I didn't expect Qin Ye to have such an experience.
Zhao Qingmei chopped down a dead tree and said, "Going to school is actually very hard. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to have such lofty ambitions. It is said that it is better for a woman to marry well than to study a lot in her life. I just hope to marry into a good family."
She straightened up again and thought of Li Qiang who studied hard, and a longing smile appeared on her face.
As long as I can marry Li Qiang, when he gets into college and gets a job, he can take me to the city to enjoy life! Isn't it better than staying in this godforsaken place?
Zhao Qingmei was only thinking about falling in love and never thought about studying hard. She also didn't know why she should study.
Ye Qing smiled, she knew the opportunity to persuade had come.
He continued, "That being said, who doesn't want to marry into a good family? But a good iron must be hard to forge. If you don't have the ability, even if you find a good family, you will lose the original passion in the end because you have nothing in common."
"What will I do then? I'll be old and it will be too late to study. If I have a child, I won't even have a place to cry when I regret it!"
