Zhao Yun nodded, agreeing with Song Zhi's words. "That's right. I heard from Xiaoxue that Xiaoqian has a bad temper and is difficult to get along with. He doesn't get along with other teachers at school and always keeps to himself. Xiaotian is a good person, but he doesn't like to talk. Xiaoqian must have been the one who started what happened yesterday. When I look at the two of them, I think of Xiaoxue. She's in her twenties now and is at the age to get married. I've been looking for a partner this year, but she's not satisfied with what I'm satisfied with. Children are a debt. I thought marriage would be enough to complete her affairs and I'd worry about it all, but seeing the two next door makes me even more upset."
Song Zhi had never been a mother, so she naturally didn't understand Zhao Yun's feelings. After a moment's thought, she began to counsel, "So, marriage should be handled with caution. It depends not only on the wishes of both parties, but also on the families of both parties. You can't rush into things like this. Take your time and you'll eventually meet the right person."
"You're right, there's no need to rush. Xiao Song, how did you and Political Commissar Gu get married? Was it also a blind date?" After all, the age gap between them is quite big, and it doesn't seem like a free love relationship.
Song Zhi didn't expect that she would be the one to be eaten by the melon so soon. She couldn't help but complain in her heart. Sure enough, there is always a group of melon-eating people in every era.
"We've known each other since we were kids."
"Then you can be considered childhood sweethearts. You two are a good match." Zhao Yun didn't show it on his face, but he was still surprised to hear this.
"Dongdong has known Sister Song since childhood." The two of them were talking intently when suddenly a childish voice interrupted them. It took them a moment to react.
When they realized what was happening, they all burst into laughter, which meant that the previous question was over.
"It won't work even if you've known her since childhood. Xiao Song is the wife of Political Commissar Gu, and you will have your own wife when you grow up." Zhao Yun suppressed his smile and explained to his son.
"I also want Sister Song to be my wife." This way I can eat candies and snacks from Sister Song's house every day. The child's innocent words made the two adults around him laugh.
"That won't work. She can only be the wife of your brother from the Gu family. You have to find another wife." Zhao Yun was not good at communicating such complicated issues with the children, so he denied it outright.
"Okay then." Dongdong answered dejectedly, with great disappointment written on his face.
As we walked and talked, we soon reached the foot of the mountain.
"There are many wild vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms in the mountains, but you have to be careful when looking for them. Some of them are inedible, like..."
Song Zhi listened carefully. After all, she would be living here for a long time, so she still had to learn these basic skills.
After Zhao Yun finished explaining the precautions, they started to move. There was a lot of dew in the forest in the morning, so they tried their best to avoid touching the flowers and plants when walking, and usually walked on the paths that had been walked on before.
"Is this wild strawberry?" Song Zhi said in surprise.
"Isn't this a wild fruit? It's sour and not tasty, but many children like to pick and eat it." Zhao Yun didn't understand these things, but she had seen this thing often before and was not curious.
Song Zhi picked a slightly red strawberry that looked like a ripe one. He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, confirming that it was a strawberry.
"Host, this strawberry is a wild strawberry, but just like the cultivated ones, it has a very high vitamin C content, and the cultivation method is extremely simple and convenient."
When Song Zhiting heard the system say this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Most people in this era live on vegetables and meat. For example, most seafood and fruits, not only are there no channels to buy them, but there are also no conditions to eat them.
Strawberries and vegetables can be grown in greenhouses and produce in all seasons. Isn’t this a way to help farmers open up new channels?
I wiped it casually with my hand and took a bite. It was indeed a bit sour, but the sour taste covered up the sweet taste. It was not big either. Although it was natural, it would be difficult to sell with this appearance and taste.
She could only find a way to introduce artificially cultivated strawberry seeds. She also found that the area here almost only planted cabbage and radish. Each farmer could not eat much, and the rest were sold. The next largest area was large fields of wheat.
Compared with these, the cost of growing fruits and the like is higher, but the benefits are proportional to it.
"Do you want to eat some? There is a place ahead with more strawberries, all wild." Aunt Zhao saw her take a bite of the strawberry and thought she liked this sour thing.
"Where is it? Is it far?"
"It's not far, just a few steps away." Zhao Yun said with a smile.
When we got there, we realized that this place was different from the others. It was cold out here, but here, we felt warmer, and the temperature was higher than other places. Could it be...
Song Zhi looked around carefully, but the numerous flowers, plants, and trees around her blocked most of her vision.
She was not in a hurry and said to Aunt Zhao, "Sorry for the trouble. You guys go find some wild vegetables first. I'll just pick some strawberries."
"Mom, I want to stay here too." Dongdong quickly responded.
"Don't be polite, what are you doing here? Come with me to dig wild vegetables."
"No, I'm right here."
"Aunt, it's okay. I'm here. Let Dongdong stay here too. I can look after him."
Zhao Yun heard Song Zhi say this, so he couldn't stop Dong Dong. He just glared at him fiercely and warned him, "When you play here, you must listen to your sister-in-law Song. Don't run around. If you get lost, no one will find you."
Dongdong curled his lips and said unhappily, "I know." He is not a three-year-old child anymore, and you are trying to scare him with these words.
After Zhao Yun walked away, Dongdong said excitedly, "Sister, do you want to pick strawberries?"
Song Zhi nodded. Knowing that Dongdong was a lively person, she gave him a task. "Dongdong, help me pick more strawberries. I'll make canned fruit for you."
Canned fruit? Dongdong's eyes lit up. He had seen his cousin eat this during the Chinese New Year. It was in a glass jar with sweet syrup inside. He had tasted it and it was delicious, but he heard that this kind of thing was very expensive. He looked at Song Zhi with some suspicion, not sure if she was trying to trick him.
Song Zhi knew what he was thinking by looking at his disbelieving eyes.
