After fetching water, Zhao Guohua did not stay long, but left on the pretext of going to work. Before leaving, he gave Li Muqing two dollars and asked her to use it.
Li Muqing took the money and smiled proudly. She knew that Zhao Guohua could not forget her. Even after being apart for so long, she was still in his heart.
Li Xiyue did not expect Zhao Guohua to leave so quickly. After thinking about it, she understood the reason. Li Muqing looked so terrible now, and Zhao Guohua must be disgusted with her.
It seems that the relationship between Zhao Guohua and Li Muqing is just like that.
She had overestimated them before.
"Sister." Erniu's voice interrupted Li Xiyue's thoughts.
She turned her head and saw Erniu carrying a small backpack on her back and holding a small basket in her hand.
Li Xiyue specially asked a wicker craftsman to weave a backpack for her so that she could go up the mountain to collect herbs. The small basket was her own.
Li Xiyue went over and took her backpack first. Seeing that there were a lot of medicines in it, she smiled.
Erniu showed her the small basket and said, "Sister, look, what did I pick?"
Li Xiyue saw that it was Houttuynia cordata and asked, "Where did you dig it?"
"I dug it in the valley. Brother Guoqing took me there to dig it." Erniu smiled.
Li Xiyue took it. There were quite a lot of them, including roots. They could be used as medicine or eaten raw.
"Did Guoqing also go up the mountain with you to collect herbs?"
Erniu shook her head. "He and Brother Huzi went up the mountain to pick fruit. I picked some too. These are for my sister."
Only then did Li Xiyue discover that there were some wild fruits under the Houttuynia cordata, which were wild pears and wild peaches growing on the mountain.
"Thank you, Erniu." Li Xiyue accepted it. It was a token of the child's kindness. She could just exchange it with the child for something else.
Li Xiyue went back to the house and got some vegetables. "Take these back and I'll trade them for houttuynia cordata and fruit."
Erniu refused to take it, "Sister has helped Erniu so much, this little thing is for you, I can't take your food anymore." After she said that, she turned around and ran away.
Li Xiyue had no choice but to carry the things into the kitchen.
So let’s have cold-boiled Houttuynia cordata for lunch today.
