Chapter 211 Suggestions
"Okay, come to me if you have any questions. Don't be polite with me. I have asked someone to inquire about the house, and there should be news soon." Seeing that she was unwilling, Yang Weihua no longer insisted.
"Thank you, cousin. I'm not in a hurry to move in, and you don't have to worry too much."
In order to entertain Qiao Mo, Qiao Yuting not only made her best dishes, crystal pork elbow and sweet and sour spare ribs, but also Qiao Mo's favorite lotus leaf chicken. The food that day was even more sumptuous than that during the Chinese New Year.
After lunch, Qiao Mo chatted with Qiao Yuting about some family matters, answered a few difficult questions for Yang Weihong, and then went back with her return gift.
When they got home, Tang Xinmei and the others were taking a nap, and Qiao Mo also went back to his room to take a nap.
When he woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Apart from Chen Ran, Qiao Mo didn't see anyone else at home.
"Sister Ran, where are Sister Xinmei and the others?"
"They all went to the mountains to chop firewood." Chen Ran said, pointing to the endless hills behind the mountain.
"Don't we have firewood at home? Why are they so anxious?" Qiao Mo also looked at the mountain behind which was not far away.
"The weather has been nice these past few days, so it would be nice to chop some more firewood so we don't run out of firewood when it rains or snows." Chen Ran disagreed, "We also want to see if there are any valuables in the mountains. Otherwise, it would be really sad to stay at home every day."
"I have never been to this mountain. My father used to go up the mountain to chop firewood. If my mother and I followed him, we would only go to the foot of the mountain." Qiao Mo thought for a while and said that when they lived here, Qianyu was still young and Mu Ling would not allow her to go up the mountain by herself.
"Your father truly loves you." Chen Ran nodded. "Let's go up there one day and see what's behind these mountains."
"Although there are still mountains behind this mountain, it's just a small hilly area with not many resources. You can only pick some mushrooms in spring and autumn, and most of them are very common pine mushrooms. Even pheasants and rabbits are rare."
Qiao Mo remembered that when he was a child, Qiao Shisong would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms during holidays. Occasionally, he would bring back a pheasant or a rabbit, but the number of times was very rare. Even with Qiao Shisong's skills, he didn't get much, which showed that there were really no resources in the mountains.
"Aren't there any big mountains nearby?"
"There are only hills all around, and the mountains are only found in the neighboring province. Although they are not very far away, they are still dozens of kilometers away." Qiao Mo shook his head. It was precisely because of this that the prices of Donghai's local specialties were so high.
"Ah, this is the bad thing about this big city. We can't even go to the mountains to get some food." Chen Ran sighed.
"Big cities also have their advantages, such as convenient transportation." Qiao Mo said with a smile, "I know, you don't want to stay at home all day, right?"
"I stay at home doing nothing every day, and I always feel like I'm living off the land." Chen Ran said with a smile. They live in the countryside, and except for rainy and snowy weather when they can stay at home, the rest of the time they either have to go to work or go up the mountain.
"After working hard for so many years, it's time to take a break. If you really feel bored, just read some books to lay a solid foundation, so that you can relax after school starts." Qiao Mo also offered his own suggestions.
She originally wanted to introduce them to Yang Weihua to get some goods to sell, but she didn't know the situation in Donghai, and they had no experience in doing black business. She was afraid of cheating them, so she had to give up.
"You're right. Our foundation is not good. We were able to get into a key university purely by luck. If we don't make up for our shortcomings now, we will suffer in the future." Chen Ran nodded.
