208: Red umbrella, white pole
Yu Erye had a sad face. He didn't dare to say no, but he didn't want to go either.
Xu Ying didn't get angry this time. She just looked at him steadily, which made Yu Erye feel uneasy.
In the end, Yu Erye had no choice but to take the bamboo basket and go to the woods to pick mushrooms like a resentful woman.
Alas, such a grown man has fallen to the point of picking mushrooms. It would be better for him to chop wood and do some heavy work.
Yu Erye felt really aggrieved.
But what worried him even more was that he had to go to school in the evening.
He didn't understand. Why did he have to go to class?
Haven’t I been living well these years without knowing how to read? Why should I learn to read?
He also knew that being educated was a good thing, but he was really not cut out for it. He felt dizzy when he saw those words.
Especially those black newspapers printed with lead type. You can't look at them too closely. If you look at them too closely, you'll feel like you've poked an ant's nest and your whole body will go numb.
Asking him to learn to read now is not like pushing him into an ant nest?
My head hurts, my head hurts—
Yu Erye endured the headache and went deep into the forest. Under a huge birch tree, he saw a nest of big white mushrooms with their big umbrellas spread out, looking pleasing to the eye.
Yu Erye went over and picked all the mushrooms in that patch and threw them into the basket.
I found a few other kinds of mushrooms.
Anyway, he didn't know the varieties of mushrooms, so he just picked them when he saw them.
Pick a full basket early and go home early.
On the way, I saw other women and children in the company picking mushrooms, digging wild vegetables and picking flowers.
There are many beautiful flowers growing in the forest. I heard the children call this kind of flower wild lily. It comes in red, yellow, and pink. It is very beautiful and emits bursts of strong fragrance.
Yu Erye couldn't help but pick more than a dozen branches, a full bunch, and prepared to take them home to give to his mother and sister, so that they could put them in the house so that the house would also smell fragrant.
After picking the flowers, they continued walking into the woods with the basket and met people from their company again.
Several young women hid away when they saw him, as if they were quite afraid of him and didn't dare to get close to him.
Yu Erye thought, what is there to be afraid of, he doesn't eat humans.
But a few naughty teenagers came up to him.
A **-year-old boy with a slingshot in his hand looked at the mushrooms in his basket and said with a grin:
"Hey, Baldy, do you want to pick some more mushrooms?"
Yu Erye thought the kid's smile was quite annoying, and he must have bad intentions. But when he heard there were more mushrooms, he couldn't help but be tempted:
“Where are more mushrooms?”
The child holding the slingshot points in a certain direction:
"There, there's a large patch of them, and no one has discovered them yet. Hurry up and pick them, or you'll miss them if you're too late."
When Yu Erye heard this, he knew he couldn't let anyone else snatch it away first, so he quickly ran in the direction the boy pointed.
The boy followed behind with a slingshot, pointing and laughing as he ran:
"There are so many big and delicious mushrooms over there. I just discovered them this morning. I won't tell anyone else about them."
"Then why did you tell me?"
The boy smiled:
"Because I think you look like a good person, so I tell you."
Yu Erye ran for a while, and suddenly there was an open space in front of him, and he saw a large group of mushrooms on the ground!
It’s really a large area of red mushrooms!
The mushroom looked very beautiful, with a red umbrella and some white spots on it. It was really as beautiful as the beautiful mushrooms in some pictures.
Yu Erye was overjoyed, as if he had discovered some incredible treasure:
"There are so many mushrooms, why is no one picking them?"
When the boy holding the slingshot at the back heard what Yu Erye said, he suddenly burst into laughter and fell directly into the grass on the ground, holding his stomach and laughing.
Yu Erye didn't know what the child was laughing at, but he seemed very happy.
Never mind!
He wants to pick mushrooms!
Yu Erye squatted down and started picking mushrooms.
Large and large beautiful mushrooms were put into his bamboo basket. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them. Why did he feel that these mushrooms were as cute as his Cuihua?
He couldn't help but pick up a half-opened mushroom, quietly put it to his lips and kissed it.
whee--
It was as satisfying as if he had kissed his Cuihua.
The slingshot boy behind him lay in the bushes and laughed for a long time, almost laughing himself to death. Then he stood up again, wiped his tears and shouted to Yu Erye's back:
"Bald, pick more! These mushrooms are delicious. I've eaten them before, and they're incredibly fresh, even better than meat. Pick them quickly, or else someone will find them and you won't be able to grab them!"
"oh!"
Yu Erye was afraid that someone would really snatch the mushrooms from him, so he quickened his movements.
By the time I had picked almost all the beautiful mushrooms around, the basket was full.
It was piled up into a beautiful hill.
Yu Erye carried the basket, put the big bunch of wild lilies on the basket, and went back happily with the basket.
The boy with the slingshot followed him all the way, with an inexplicable smile on his face, which made Yu Erye a little confused.
Yu Erye asked:
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm not laughing at anything. I love laughing since I was born. Hehe, hehe, hehe——"
After a while, Yu Erye asked again:
"What's your name?"
"My name is Tie Niu."
"What a coincidence! There's also a guy named Tie Niu in my hometown, and he's the same age as me."
Yu Erye chatted with Tie Niu for a few words. When they were almost at the company headquarters, Tie Niu did not go back with them. Perhaps he had laughed enough, so he took his slingshot and ran back to the woods to play.
Yu Erye returned home with a bamboo basket of wild lilies and red mushrooms. Before he even entered, he saw Xu Ying bending over in the vegetable patch to check on the germination of the vegetable seeds. Yu Erye called out cheerfully:
"Mom, look, I brought you a lot of flowers!"
Xu Ying stood up and saw a large bunch of colorful wild lilies on the bamboo basket.
Although this wild lily is not as big as the lilies sold in flower shops in later generations, it has a wild and romantic beauty.
Women all love flowers, and Xu Ying is no exception. When she saw the large bunch of flowers, her eyes suddenly lit up:
Hey, this brat actually wants to bring flowers back to me.
It seems a little silly, but it's also quite heartwarming.
But their old man never brought her a wild flower from the field!
Xu Ying was so happy that she couldn't hold back her expression. The corners of her mouth kept pulling up as she walked out of the vegetable garden.
Yu Erye had never seen his mother smile at him in the past few days. He was so happy that he almost walked with joy. He ran to her and shoved a large bouquet of flowers in her hand with a bit of embarrassment:
"Mom, aren't they beautiful? There are a lot of flowers like this in the woods. I picked some for you and put them in the house. Smell them, they are so fragrant!"
Xu Ying held a large bunch of lilies and lay on top of them to smell them:
"Mm, it smells really good."
"And, look, Mom, I picked a whole basket full of mushrooms. No one else noticed there were mushrooms there, so I picked them all!"
Yu Erye showed off his achievements very proudly, with an expression that looked like he was asking for praise.
Xu Ying reluctantly moved her eyes away from the lilies and moved them to the bamboo basket.
As soon as he saw the basket full of red umbrellas with white poles, the smile on his face froze instantly.
