Uncle Gu put the two children down after entering the mountain. The two children, who enjoyed the top treatment, did not feel tired at all, and their eyes were shining.
There are several chestnut trees here, and many of the chestnuts are ripe and falling.
It has a furry appearance but feels prickly to the touch, and is ripe when its color changes from green to yellow.
There are several chestnuts in a thorn bag.
For those that have already opened, you don’t need to open them with your hands, just step on them and they will come out.
There is no need to pick the fruits from the trees. There are enough ripe fruits that have fallen on the ground for them to pick for a long time.
There are many chestnut trees here, all of them are wild.
It can be eaten raw, but few people pick it because it is difficult to peel.
During this time, villagers would be more willing to pick some wild fruits.
Gu Chun also discovered several hazelnut trees, which looked very similar to chestnuts, both covered with thorn balls, but the hazelnuts were smaller.
There were no gloves to use at home, so they only brought a pair of scissors, which were in Uncle Gu's hands.
Others stepped on those who had already spoken.
Afraid that the two children might prick their hands, Gu Chun sternly instructed them,
"Don't grab this thorn ball with your hands, or it will bleed and hurt, okay?"
The brother and sister now have a tacit understanding when dealing with adults, and they answered together, "I know~"
After stepping on a few chestnuts, Gu Chun picked them up and put them into his backpack.
To be honest, in her previous life, she was very envious when she saw videos of others stepping on chestnuts abroad.
This time it’s my turn, and I’m really happy!
The joy of harvest!
Gu Qiu and Gu Zhenzhu were also very satisfied with their picks. When they found a big one, they called Gu Chun to go and see it.
The two children didn’t have a backpack, so they had to be placed in their uncle’s big backpack.
Xiao Zhuzi and Gu Dong competed to see who could pick up more.
He also reminded me, "Uncle, I picked these up, don't forget them."
Uncle Gu smiled and nodded, "I understand. Later, uncle's will be yours too."
Gu Dong pouted, "Uncle, what about me?"
Uncle Gu treated them equally, "I'll give you half each."
Now both children are happy.
But have they forgotten that they are now competing to see who has more...
Perhaps for children, what is more important than winning or losing is whether adults can treat them fairly.
They kept picking until their backpacks were almost full, and then they went down the mountain and went home.
On the way down, my uncle had to carry a large backpack filled with chestnuts.
Gu Chun was afraid that he would break it, so he wanted him to reduce it.
I felt a little sad when I heard him say that he had carried even heavier soil when digging ditches before.
But in the end, I couldn't persuade him, and he had to recite all the chestnuts without missing a single one.
Xiao Zhuzi and Gu Dong were very sensible. Seeing that the adults were carrying heavy chestnuts, they did not complain of being tired and walked down the mountain step by step on their own.
On the way, Uncle Gu felt sorry for the children and wanted to carry each child for a while, but they both refused and said they could do it themselves.
Gu Chun felt relieved that all the children she raised were well-behaved.
When he got home and put his things down, Gu Chun felt that his shoulders were hurt by the backpack.
So are Gu Qiu and Gu Zhenzhu.
The eldest aunt came out and said, "Hey, why did you pick so many? This thing is too difficult to handle. Just pick a few and taste them."
Uncle Gu didn't know either, he just listened to Gu Chun.
Gu Chun's eyes lit up, "Aunt, make chestnut cakes tomorrow!"
