The mountain road was rugged, and Yunling was very tired, but she did not regret coming here.
The air in the mountains is very fresh, and you can see all kinds of beautiful flowers from time to time. You can also see all kinds of birds startled and flying in flocks.
Qin Tiantian picked a lot of wild vegetables along the way, and when she saw pretty flowers, she picked some and handed them to Yunling.
Suddenly, he noticed a patch of honeysuckle vines and asked, "Third Sister-in-law, I saw you picked some honeysuckle last time to make tea. Do you still want some?"
Yunling took a breath and climbed up to her. She saw clusters of golden and white honeysuckle among the green vines, with a pleasant fragrance.
"I'll pick some; we've almost finished the last batch."
She likes to drink flavored water and used to love buying all kinds of flower teas, but now that's not an option, she can only throw in some honeysuckle.
So the two picked honeysuckle for a little while longer, and Yunling put it directly into her shirt pocket.
Once they were almost done packing, the two continued climbing.
Qin Tiantian glanced ahead and said, "It's not far, we'll be there soon."
Yunling gritted her teeth and persevered.
Whenever she was exhausted, Qin Tiantian would say that they were almost there.
After nearly three attempts, we finally arrived. The red jujubes, scattered like tiny pieces of agate, shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.
Yunling reached out to pick it, but Qin Tiantian stopped her, saying, "There are thorns on it, Third Sister-in-law. I'll knock them off with a stick, and you can pick them up from below."
Yunling glanced at the jujube tree and saw that it was covered with a dense network of straight and barbed hooks; if you accidentally touched one, it would definitely hurt.
"Thank you, Tiantian."
Qin Tiantian smiled slightly and said, "We're family, Third Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll go find a stick."
"Okay, be careful." After saying that, Yunling found a rock to sit on, rubbed her legs, which were so sore.
Looking up, I saw the jujubes on the tree, the flowers beside me, and the honeysuckle in my pocket, and I felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Qin Tiantian picked up a thin stick, waved it up and down a few times, and said to Yunling, "Third Sister-in-law, I'll hit them. You pick up the sour dates over there."
As soon as Yunling carried the basket over, the sour jujubes on the tree started to fall with a clatter. She picked out the good ones and put them in the basket.
Every now and then, a sour jujube would hit her, causing a slight pain, but the pain would subside after a while.
So she slowly moved further inside, and the basket gradually filled with more and more jujubes.
Qin Tiantian saw that the basket of sour dates was more than half full, so she stopped picking them and squatted down to pick them up together. She felt particularly sorry for the broken ones and picked them up and put them in her mouth.
She muttered, "What's dirty won't make you sick."
Seeing Yunling picking up sour dates, he said, "Third Sister-in-law, you should eat too, eat your fill, so that the basket won't be full and it will go to waste."
Yunling hesitated for a moment, then looked up and saw Qin Tiantian eating with great enjoyment. She picked up a relatively clean-looking one, took a bite, and found it to be both sour and sweet, with a hint of sweetness and a hint of sourness. It was refreshing and crunchy, and after eating it, a rich and lingering sweet and sour taste remained in her mouth, with a strong aftertaste.
So they picked up the food while eating, and after finishing one basket, there were still some badly rotten ones left on the ground.
Qin Tiantian felt a little sorry for her and sighed, "If only Xiao Yanzi and Xiao Tao had come together, they would have been able to solve the problem."
She picked up the basket and said to Yunling, who was still eating dates, "Third Sister-in-law, let's go down the mountain. We'll come back in a while."
There are still some branches that haven't been knocked off, so we can do it again.
The two of them rushed down the mountain. As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, they saw the Zhao brothers, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu, sitting on a rock by the door. When they saw them, they made a face and threw a rock at them.
