Looking at Mo Xiaobao's leaving back, Pei Shaorong felt inexplicably good holding the clothes and shoes he had just received.
They were obviously just ordinary things, and he had paid the seller for them, but Pei Shaorong felt that holding the clothes and shoes was different from picking out goods from specialty counters in the mall before.
Pei Shaorong felt a special kind of satisfaction and indescribable happiness. He didn't realize what this feeling meant. He always felt that staying with Mo Xiaobao, or things related to him, would make him feel relaxed.
After returning home with his things, Pei Shaorong immediately began to organize the things in the space. He had been in the mountains for more than half a month and was very tired.
After leisurely eating dinner and boiling water for a bath, Pei Shaorong began to try on the clothes made by Mo Xiaobao.
The clothes are well made, with the thread ends very neatly detailed, which shows that the maker has excellent sewing skills. The size fits well, and the shoes are just the right size for him. They are very comfortable to wear, and Pei Shaorong is very satisfied.
"I can't believe this little girl is so good at handwork..."
Pei Shaorong couldn't stop smiling as he put on his new clothes and new shoes. It was a pity that there was no mirror. He didn't know what he looked like in those clothes. Was he handsome?
Pei Shaorong was wearing new clothes and admiring himself in the room for a long time before he took them off, put them away and went to bed. He thought to himself, one piece is really not enough to wear, I will ask Abao to make one for me tomorrow, the little guy has good skills...
Although he was thinking about asking Mo Xiaobao to help him make two more sets of clothes, there was no rush about it. After Pei Shaorong came back from the mountain, he prepared to deal with the things in the space.
The harvest in the mountain this time was really great. The entire back mountain was full of treasures. This is the benefit of being natural and pollution-free.
The main purpose of going up the mountain this time was not hunting, but we caught a lot of small prey such as pheasants and rabbits in traps. The total harvest in half a month was dozens.
As for wild fruits, there were too many varieties on the mountain, so Pei Shaorong only collected some wild persimmons and hawthorns. There were not many varieties, but the quantity was not small.
Because of the convenience of space, he packed more than 2,000 kilograms of fruits, mainly hawthorns, with fewer persimmons. After all, persimmons were not as common as hawthorns, and he also found some in the deep mountains.
The reason for choosing these two wild fruits is that persimmons do not require sugar to be made into persimmon cakes. The price of persimmon cakes in the town is not cheap, three cents for one.
As for hawthorn, it is wild and tastes very sour, which no one likes. However, it is abundant on the mountains and easy to collect. It contains sugar and can be processed into very good dried fruits.
I learned the method of making persimmon cakes and preserved fruits from an old farmer who was traveling with me during the end of the world. At that time, no one could find food, but they did find a lot of fruits.
But fruits are not easy to preserve. Fortunately, there was the old farmer craftsman, so everyone lived for several months by making preserved fruits from the fruits they found...
There are also some nuts and the like. He collected several hundred kilograms of wild pecans, chestnuts, pistachios, etc. After all, the villagers also like these things. He also went deep into the mountains to find some.
In fact, there are quite a few of these things that are already processed in my space, and I also prepared a lot of various fresh fruits when I was preparing the supplies.
However, Pei Shaorong planned to keep those for himself. He would use the wild ones with poor quality to exchange for silver. Of course, he would keep the good ones for himself. You have to know that many of the fruits in his space are things that only exist in later generations!
Pei Shaorong did not collect wild mushrooms, wild fungus and the like because he did not know them. If he picked a poisonous one, he would be finished. He would wait until he had learned to recognize all the grains and livestock.
After clearing all his belongings, Pei Shaorong stayed at home for a few more days to process the prey before going to town to sell the rabbit skins he had accumulated over the past few times and buy some tools for making preserved fruits...
As usual, he took a large backpack and put some things in it as a cover, then Pei Shaorong went out to the town with the backpack on his back.
As soon as he left the village, Pei Shaorong saw three familiar faces, namely Aunt Qin, Mo Xiaobao and his good friend Lin Ge'er, who should also be going to the town to sell things.
Delighted, Pei Shaorong quickly ran over and opened his mouth to call Mo Xiaobao out of habit, but he paused before he could utter a word.
"Ah...Aunt Qin, are you going to town too?"
As the words came to her lips, she changed Mo Xiaobao's name to Aunt Qin. After all, they were an unmarried young man and a single man. Their familiarity in broad daylight would inevitably lead to Mo Xiaobao being talked about by the villagers again. These country women were even worse than gossip reporters.
"It's Brother Pei..." When Aunt Qin saw it was Pei Shaorong, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Well, is your stuff heavy? Let me help you carry it. Put it in my backpack... Put the two boys' stuff in my backpack too. I'm strong..."
Pei Shaorong nodded and said to Aunt Qin with a smile. In fact, the last sentence was what he wanted to say. Mo Xiaobao's thin body was carrying a load of vegetables, which was very heavy. He didn't know how his small arms and legs could have so much strength.
"No, no need..." Mo Xiaobao blushed and shook his head embarrassedly, and Brother Lin next to him also politely refused.
"Yes, that's not necessary, big brother. Your backpack is so big, there must be a lot of stuff in it. It's very heavy. I can just carry it myself..."
"You're welcome. We're all from the same village, why should we be so polite..."
Pei Shaorong smiled, stretched out his hand and put the three people's things into his backpack. Because Mo Xiaobao was carrying something on his shoulder, it was difficult to put it there, so he just carried it on his shoulders and added a backpack, which looked quite funny.
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Aunt Qin and the other two couldn't refuse him. They looked at him with great favor. Hey, there are many people in this village who are as honest and good-tempered as you, brother.
"Aunt, I picked a lot of wild fruits from the deep mountains. They taste delicious. You can try some..."
After helping people carry the things, Pei Shaorong took three apples that he was going to sell and gave one to each of Aunt Qin and the other two. Actually, he wanted to give one to Mo Xiaobao, although he didn't know why he suddenly became so generous with food.
When he stuffed the apple into his mouth, his eyes met Mo Xiaobao's. He smiled very naturally, but Mo Xiaobao couldn't help blushing. He was so nervous holding the apple that he didn't know where to look.
"Oh, these fruits are really good. You sold them in the town last time. They are too expensive. Take them back, brother. It's not easy for you to earn a little money..."
Although Aunt Qin was greedy for bargains, she was actually a very honest person. She knew that he had no land in the village and made a living by hunting and selling wild products. She liked him and treated him as her own junior. She would give him advice on anything that happened in the village.
"Aunt, take it. The ones picked in the mountains are not valuable. It's getting late. Let's go..."
With a hearty smile, Pei Shaorong glanced at the blushing Mo Xiaobao who was carrying a basket and a pole and walking forward, and thought to himself that the little guy was so adorable when he saw him blushing!
As he walked forward, Aunt Qin, who was left behind, held the apple without eating it, probably wanting to save it for her son. She looked at Pei Shaorong's back and chatted with Mo Xiaobao and Lin Ge'er with a smile.
"Brother Pei is really a good guy. There are not many young men like him in the village who are so sincere and enthusiastic. Although he is from another place, I think he is better than most young people in our village..."
Mo Xiaobao and Lin Ge'er beside them were unable to comment due to their identities, but the expressions on their faces clearly showed that they agreed very much. Mo Xiaobao nodded vigorously in his heart.
The two of them listened without interrupting. Aunt Qin continued, "Brother Pei's life story is quite pitiful. He lost his parents when he was young and grew up in the temple. He finally got down the mountain and met some hooligans in the mountain stream. He lost his things and wandered to our place..."
"Brother, you are not young anymore. I will definitely find a wife for you in the village tomorrow. Although his family is a little poor, you are a good person!"
Aunt Qin was thinking as she spoke, and at the end she suddenly looked at Mo Xiaobao, her eyes brightened, "Hey, Abao, you are not married yet, come on, how about I marry you to my elder brother?"
"Ah...Aunt Qin, I, I..." Mo Xiaobao's face turned red when he heard it. He stared at Pei Shaorong's back, too nervous to speak.
"What do you mean by 'I'? Abao, I know you are a good person. If it weren't for those gossipy women in the village, you wouldn't have stayed here until today. Although my brother's family is poor, he is a good person and he is single. If you marry him, you don't have to take care of your parents-in-law. How great is that..."
It was just a spur of the moment idea, but the more Aunt Qin thought about it, the more she felt that the two were a good match. Pei Shaorong came from another place and his family had no land, so it was difficult to arrange a marriage for him in the village.
It is difficult for Mo Xiaobao to propose marriage now because of his reputation after leaving messages. Abao is not young anymore, but Pei Shaorong is also quite old. The two of them are a perfect match!
When Brother Lin heard this, his eyes rolled, and he remembered the last time he went to see Mo Xiaobao and met Pei Shaorong in the mountains, and how Mo Xiaobao secretly made clothes for Pei Shaorong. He immediately had the same idea as Aunt Qin.
He and Mo Xiaobao grew up together and have the best relationship. He is also worried that Mo Xiaobao has not been able to get married due to various reasons. You say that Abao is such a good person, how come no one wants her just because of those rumors?
Thinking of this, Brother Lin also followed suit and poked Mo Xiaobao in the waist and whispered, "Abao, I think that man surnamed Pei is not bad, why don't you ask Aunt Qin to help you talk to him..."
"I, I...Aunt, Brother Lin, you, you all stop talking. Brother Pei, he doesn't like me at all..." Mo Xiaobao's face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out. He buried his head in shame and didn't dare to look at Aunt Qin and Brother Lin.
"Hahaha, Abao is shy. Okay, I won't say anything more. Young people are just shy..."
Aunt Qin joked with a smile, but when she saw Mo Xiaobao burying his head she didn't say anything else. However, after looking at Mo Xiaobao and then at Pei Shaorong, she felt that her attention was good.
Mo Xiaobao didn't reply, but buried his head. From time to time, he looked up at Pei Shaorong's back, holding the apple in both hands, very nervous. Brother Pei, would he like me? …
