Chapter 171 Picking Mushrooms
She wouldn't believe it if you told her these two weren't together. Look how in sync they are!
Ignoring Chen Yan's gossipy gaze, Wen Li said, "Why don't you and Qi Jun come over for dinner tonight!"
Chen Yan waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I won't bother you anymore!" Then she ran off and disappeared.
Wen Li chuckled inwardly, thinking, "She's smart enough!"
Lu Zechuan started the fire to cook rice, and Wen Li took the opportunity to wash some cherries. "Want some?"
Lu Zechuan picked up a piece of firewood and put it into the earthen stove. "My hands are dirty, I'll eat later!"
Seeing this, Wen Li picked up a piece and fed it to him, "Is it sweet?"
Lu Zechuan's lips accidentally touched her fair fingers. He felt a tingling sensation on his lips and a slight warmth in his body. When he looked up, he saw Wen Li looking at him with a teasing expression.
Lu Zechuan knew she was doing it on purpose; his Adam's apple slid up slightly, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"sweet!"
"Pfft~" Wen Li picked up another one and fed it to him, "Eat more if it's sweet!"
Lu Zechuan felt his blood rushing to his head, and he was worried that if Wen Li continued to feed him like this, the rice in the pot would burn.
"Stop fooling around!"
Wen Li stopped teasing him and sat down to eat by herself.
Dinner was ready, and the rain gradually stopped.
After finishing her meal, Wen Li took a stool and sat by the door to look at the scenery outside. Now that there's no TV and not much entertainment, she's quite bored every day except for work.
After finishing her meal, Chen Yan also came out with a stool.
As darkness fell, a commotion suddenly broke out in the front yard.
Chen Yan instructed Qi Jun to go to the front yard to see what had happened, and Qi Jun returned shortly afterward.
"Tang and Xiao, the educated youths, have caught a fever, and Chen is calling for people to take them to Grandpa Wu's place!"
Wen Li: "Did Li, the educated youth, ask us to help?"
"No, there are so many people in the front yard, we don't need you. I'm going to check on Jiang Zhiqing; he got caught in the rain today, and it wouldn't be good if a fire broke out and no one found out!"
"Okay, go take a look!"
Although Jiang Chen didn't get along well with everyone, they were still from the same educated youth compound, so if it really burned down, they would also bear some responsibility.
Li Hong and the others took Tang Shi and Xiao Liang to Grandpa Wu for a checkup. Grandpa Wu prescribed a few tablets of Analgin and then asked Li Hong and the others to bring the children back.
Wen Li and Chen Yan also went to the front yard to take a look. Tang Shi was much better after taking the medicine and was no longer talking nonsense. Seeing that she was alright, everyone went about their own business.
"I'll come over and sleep with you tonight! What if you get a fever in the middle of the night? It won't do if there's no one to take care of you!" Chen Yan sighed and checked Wen Li's forehead to see if she had a fever.
"No need, it's been several hours already. If I really had a fever, it would have started long ago. I'll call you again if I'm feeling unwell!"
"Okay, but be sure to call me if you feel unwell!"
"Okay, don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
Wen Li knew she would be fine; the effects of the spiritual spring water were extraordinary.
The next day was another sunny day. There was little rain in the north, and the air was especially fresh after the rain. Wen Li took a deep breath of the fresh air before washing up and having breakfast.
When everyone went to the front yard, they found that Tang Shi and Xiao Liang had both taken the day off, while Jiang Chen was perfectly fine.
Wen Li clicked her tongue in admiration. As expected of the male lead, he was fine even after being in the rain for so long!
Because of yesterday's rain, the fields have accumulated a lot of water, so we don't have to fetch water anymore, which was originally planned for the next two days.
The fields were muddy and difficult to work in, so the team leader gave everyone a day off. Anyone who wanted to pick mushrooms in the back mountains could go, but they had to be careful and not go too deep into the mountains.
As soon as the brigade leader finished speaking, Li Xiangxiang came over with her basket on her back.
"Come on, come on, I know where there are lots of mushrooms, follow me!"
The two quickly went back to get their baskets and then followed Li Xiangxiang up the mountain.
Wen Li thought she was fast enough, but when the three of them went to the back mountain, there were already many aunties and grandmas there.
However, this was not their destination; Li Xiangxiang led them directly in another direction.
"The road is a bit slippery, you two be careful!"
Li Xiangxiang led the way, occasionally reaching out to help them.
"Xiangxiang, don't worry about us, just lead the way. Be careful not to slip!"
Yesterday's heavy rain left the ground still slippery overnight, and with the rampant growth of wild grass in spring, one could easily slip and fall.
"Okay, remember to step firmly, or you'll easily slip and fall!"
With Li Xiangxiang, a local, leading the way, the three walked for nearly twenty minutes and arrived at a pine forest.
Inside, there was a large patch of white termite mushrooms.
Wow~ so many mushrooms!
Wen Li and Chen Yan were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths.
Li Xiangxiang put down her basket and squatted down to start picking things up. "Hurry up, if Jiang Yue'er and the others come soon, we won't be able to pick up so many!"
Upon hearing that others knew about this place, Wen Li stopped looking around and immediately squatted down to pick them up. She even secretly put a lot of them into her spatial storage while Chen Yan and the others weren't paying attention.
Nearly half an hour later, Wen Li saw someone approaching in the distance. Jiang Laosan was walking in front of them. The three of them exchanged a glance and quickened their pace again.
When Jiang Yue'er and her siblings arrived, they saw that there were already people there, so they started picking things up without saying a word.
By this time, Wen Li's basket was almost full. There were too many people here, and not much wild grass, so there was nowhere to hide it. She dared not secretly put any more into her space.
Chen Yan and Li Xiangxiang's baskets were also full. Seeing that Wen Li's basket could still hold more, they went to the front and picked up a lot more to put in her basket.
"Let's carry it back first and then come back!"
"If I had known there were so many here, I would have brought Qi Jun along!" Chen Yan said, her face full of regret.
Li Xiangxiang was also frustrated, "I didn't expect so many this year; last year it wasn't even half of that!"
Let's go!
The three of them carried a full basket of mushrooms down the mountain and returned to the educated youth compound. Wen Li put the mushrooms in a wooden basin, then slung another basket over her shoulder and went out again.
As soon as she came out, Chen Yan also came out carrying a basket. "Looks like we're pretty in sync!"
"Hurry up, or there won't be any left!"
The three reunited, and when they returned to the pine forest, the baskets of the Jiang siblings were full, with only a few left.
Jiang Yue'er saw that the three of them were still carrying baskets, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
"Wen, Chen, we're sorry, we've already finished picking them up!"
Wen Li rolled her eyes inwardly. "Comrade Jiang is joking. The things in this back mountain belong to everyone. Whoever finds them keeps them. There's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
Jiang Yue'er originally wanted to provoke Wen Li, but Wen Li's attitude only made her feel bored.
Jiang Laosan glanced helplessly at Jiang Yue'er. He really couldn't understand why Jiang Yue'er seemed to become a different person every time she saw Wen Li.
"Let's go back first!"
