Chapter 89 Blueberry
After taking pictures all the way, seeing that Xia Zhizhi was getting impatient, Wang Lizhen said, "Let's go to the hillside where I cut pig grass before and take one more picture. Just one."
She caught a lot of fish in that place, and as she was about to leave, she had to take a photo to commemorate the occasion.
Xia Zhizhi said reluctantly: "Okay, I've made it clear, this is the last one!"
The two of them took the last photo on the hillside and were about to go home when they saw two children running over, holding small baskets woven with willow branches, with leaves underneath. Many children in the village can weave this.
The basket was filled with small blue-purple fruits.
They are ripe blueberries.
Wild blueberries from Changbai Mountain!
Want to pick!
At this season, it is indeed possible to go into the mountains to collect wild goods!
Xia Zhizhi called them and said, "Young comrades, where did you pick these wild fruits?"
She took out two candies from her pocket and said, "I'm not asking you for nothing. I'll exchange these with you."
Snacks were scarce for children at the moment, and they relied on summer and autumn to eat the wild fruits from the mountains. She didn't really like these things, she just wanted to pick them for fun.
The two children turned around and saw that they were the two people who had asked for a feast the day she first arrived.
During this time, she got to know the children in the village a little better. She knew that one of the two was called Ershunzi and the other was called Daben. They were naughty, didn't like to study, and were not in the recitation team.
The two kids turned around and saw that it was her. Er Shunzi blurted out, "It's a sickly girl, a sickly girl, a money-grubber in the hospital!"
After Er Shunzi finished speaking, he took the candy from her hand, peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing this, Da Ben snatched the other one away and ate it as well.
The two of them held candies in their mouths. Da Ben said, "Don't tell the medicine jar. If the medicine jar touches it, it won't bear fruit next year!"
Xia Zhizhi rolled up her sleeves and said, "You all know that I'm a medicine jar, how dare you mess with me?"
Da Ben snorted: "My grandma said, as long as I'm not near you, you can't fool me!"
"Who said I was going to trick you? I'm not the type to trick people!" Xia Zhizhi chuckled, "You really don't plan to tell me, right?"
The two turned around and tried to leave. She stepped forward and snatched the blueberries from their hands: "If you don't tell me, I'll be too lazy to go!"
The child has such sharp eyes that he picked two large baskets of fruits. I guess there are not many ripe ones left.
The small basket in Daben and Ershunzi's hands disappeared. When they were about to grab it back, she stretched out her hand and gave the two kids a somersault.
Even though she is petite and weak, beating a child is easy for her. Besides, this child is not her own, so she doesn't feel sorry for him at all!
Then he pulled up Wang Lizhen who was standing beside him in a daze and said, "Run!"
Da Ben and Er Shun Zi were stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and rolled on the ground: "My Du Persimmon, my Du Persimmon!"
Xia Zhizhi's voice floated over: "Now it's my Du Shizi!"
On the way back, she grabbed a handful of blueberries for Wang Lizhen: "Eat them. They are ripe from this color and will definitely be sweet!"
Wang Lizhen held the bunch of blueberries and said dryly, "We are stealing the children's things. Isn't that bad?"
"What do you mean by robbing? What nonsense are you talking about!" She said righteously, "I traded them for candy!"
"Can two candies be exchanged for so much..." Wang Lizhen looked at the two baskets of blueberries and expressed doubt.
"Well, wild fruits in the mountains are worthless. Don't worry about it, just eat them!" Xia Zhizhi said as she stuffed them into her mouth.
The blueberries covered with white frost are sweet and have a particularly strong fruity flavor. They are much better than those grown in the fields. It may also be because these two children are good at picking and they pick the ripe ones.
I'll exchange with them next time I meet them!
Xia Zhizhi ate blueberries and happily returned to the educated youth station. She just happened to catch up with Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong who were just coming back from fishing. She quickly ran over to present the treasure: "Sister Youran, Sister Xiurong, look!"
"It's blueberry?!" Han Youran's eyes lit up.
She was really craving for fruit. Jiang Xiurong was better. She could eat some secretly without anyone knowing.
Han Youran really has nothing to eat even if she wants to.
Apart from watermelons, there are basically no other fruits that ripen in summer in Zhongxing Village. Last time I bought a watermelon, it was not sweet and full of seeds.
Unfortunately, she wanted so much that she could only open a can to satisfy her craving.
After he finished the canned food he bought, he exchanged it with Xia Zhizhi. Since she didn't have the canned food ticket, he could only give her more money. During this time, he treated Xia Zhizhi like a small shop.
I must be very happy to see two baskets of blueberries suddenly!
"Yes!" Xia Zhizhi raised her head proudly: "I went to the mountain to pick them for you. They are so sweet. I heard that eating them is good for lesbians. Eat more later!"
Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong looked at her cute face, and the psychological trauma they suffered from being fed shit at noon was instantly soothed.
How can there be such a good girl!
Wang Lizhen looked on with a sullen face from behind. It turned out that she didn't fully understand Xia Zhizhi yet... This Xia Zhizhi was just like those stinky gay men. She only tried to please the pretty female educated youth and never told the truth!
Han Youran took two baskets of blueberries, took out a handful of flour, washed the fruits carefully, put them in a bowl and asked everyone to eat.
In this village, they were the only ones who weren't surprised to see fruits being washed with flour.
She was about to reach out her hand when Han Youran saw her and immediately stopped her: "Zhizhi, I told you to wash your hands before eating!"
She followed Wang Lizhen around half the village this afternoon, climbing trees and pulling weeds all the time. Her claws must have been dirty. On the way back, she ate a handful of fruits without washing them. She didn't care about that.
Now that I've been caught in the act, I can only wash my hands in embarrassment.
Wang Lizhen also wanted to catch her, but when she saw that she was being scolded, she silently followed her to wash her hands.
Even though the child seemed a little pitiful when he cried, this wild blueberry tastes really good, 80% sweet and 20% sour, very appetizing and not too irritating, Wang Lizhen thought as she ate.
The four girls ate a basket of rice, but Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli didn't catch any. Xia Zhizhi didn't allow them to eat.
Fortunately, the two gay men don’t like this.
Han Youran was reluctant to make sauce with the remaining ingredients, so she put them in a large jar and placed it in a basin of water to keep it fresh for tomorrow's meal.
After dinner, Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong went back to their room to take a shower, Xia Zhizhi also went back to her room, and Wang Lizhen wandered around the entrance of the educated youth center to digest her food.
Before they had even turned two circles, Da Ben and Er Shun Zi brought an old lady over to show off their power.
Seeing Wang Lizhen, Da Ben immediately pointed out: "Granny, that's her!"
The old lady immediately rushed over, pulled her aside and scolded her: "You are a grown-up girl, but you are not well-educated. You are fighting for food with a little kid. Aren't you ashamed?"
Wang Lizhen was not one to be humiliated for nothing. She waved away the old lady's hand and said, "What does your little kid have that is worth fighting for? Even if you put your little fortune in front of me, I may not even appreciate it!"
"My Daben has already said it, and you still don't admit it!"
"What did I admit? Ask him if it was me?" Wang Lizhen rolled her eyes.
The two kids must have told others about Xia Zhizhi, but the aunt didn't want to argue with Xia Zhizhi, so she had to find someone to blame: "You are in cahoots with her, who else can I go after if not you!"
