As soon as Qiao Mo entered the mountain, she released her spiritual sense. Apart from discovering a few nests of bird eggs and some scattered mushrooms, she didn't find anything valuable.
While she was chopping wood, she picked up the bird eggs and mushrooms. She had no backpack or basket with her, so she had to cut some vines and weave a rough little basket to hold them.
"Momo, you have a very good eye. Next time you go into the mountains, you don't have to chop wood. Just pick up these things." Han Yimo gave her a thumbs up. They had chopped wood countless times, and picked up bird eggs and mushrooms only a few times. Even if they came across them, they were not so many.
"You're exaggerating, but it's still necessary to bring a basket or something when you go into the mountains in the future." Qiao Mo said happily: Bird eggs can be used to make soup, and mushrooms can be stir-fried plain or spicy, so the dinner is solved.
"Momo, getting you to work together might be the wisest choice we've ever made in our lives." Han Yi said arrogantly. They originally wanted to take care of her when doing physical work, but they didn't expect her to be so strong and could do the work just as well as them.
"I agree with that." Qiao Mo was not modest at all.
They were all very efficient and soon chopped three loads of firewood. Kang Mingyuan went to the nearby bamboo forest and cut a medium-sized nanmu bamboo, which he cut into a sharp shoulder pole for her to carry the firewood. After tying the firewood together, the three of them headed home together.
Chu Maoshen, who was also chopping wood in the mountains, saw the three of them going in and out together. Qiao Mo did not do anything less because she was a girl. Liu Ruoling, who wanted to do nothing, felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in her heart, making it so suffocating that she couldn't even breathe.
He had run into Liu Ruoling, which was truly unfortunate. Of course, Kang Mingyuan, Shao Lidong, and Qiao Mo weren't bad people either. They were all educated youth, so why wouldn't they help him? If they were willing to join him, no matter who he followed, he wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Qiao Mo didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise, she would definitely spit in his face: They are not his relatives, why should he serve them?
Back home, we dried firewood on the open space on the south side, picked out all the mushrooms, soaked the food we were going to eat in the evening in water, and hung the rest outside to dry. Since it was still early, we wrapped the dried mugwort in small bundles of straw. When the bell rang for work, we had just finished the work at hand, so we all went to work together.
After turning over the sweet potato vines, the next step is to weed the rice seedlings and loosen the soil in the rice fields. This is more tiring than turning over the sweet potato vines. Bent over to weed in the paddy fields under strong sunlight, not only will you feel dizzy from the sun, but you will also have back pain after a long time, and you will also be bitten by leeches, which is very annoying.
In order to prevent leeches from sucking blood, Qiao Mo prepared a new anthelmintic and carried a sachet containing the anthelmintic with him before going to the fields every day. This was better.
After a period of adaptation, Qiao Mo was able to do the farm work and live a decent life with Kang Mingyuan and others.
She got up early every day to do morning exercises, then ate and went to work. In the evening, she read, studied, practiced her supernatural powers, and took care of the space. Occasionally, she went fishing in the small river in front and went to the mountains to chop firewood. Of course, she also wanted to go hunting in the mountains, but she never had the chance, so she could only endure it.
Chu Maoshen didn't know what method he used to leave all the family affairs to Liu Ruoling. These days, she was covered in dust and dirt for three meals a day. The arrogance and disdain she had in the past were gone, and her eyes were filled with nothing but resentment and injustice.
However, these did not arouse everyone's sympathy. Everyone was an educated youth and had experienced the most difficult period. Of course, they would not condemn Chu Maoshen for not being gentle with women. Instead, many people applauded Chu Maoshen in their hearts: People like her should not be spoiled.
