"Xiangzi, Juanzi, take those two cloth bags and some small shovels.

Let’s go on an outing today.” Zhang Junping told his two apprentices.

"Okay, Master, I like to go on outings the most!" Li Wenjuan cheered.

"Today's homework is about the scenery I saw during an outing.

Leave it to me the day after tomorrow!" Zhang Junping added with a smile.

"Ah? There is still homework! Master..." Li Wenjuan took Zhang Junping's arm and said coquettishly.

"It's no use acting coquettishly! A painter must always maintain a heart that is good at discovery.

Be good at extracting the bright spots in life.

I’m not asking you to complete your homework today, but I’m just reminding you to pay attention when digging wild vegetables and playing around.” Zhang Junping smiled and patted Li Wenjuan’s head.

Four people drove to a pasture at Red Star Farm.

This is a grassland in a hilly area and is the exclusive pasture of Red Star Farm.

There are a lot of wild vegetables here. When Zhang Junping was a child, he often followed his mother to dig wild vegetables here.

After Zhang Junping stopped the car, Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang helped grandma out of the car.

Zhang Junping also got out of the car. After staying in the city for a long time, it was still very comfortable to go out and walk around.

Especially on the pasture, where the sky is clear, the fields are vast, the grass is blown by the wind and the cattle and sheep can be seen, it feels really good.

The whole person, from body to spirit, relaxes.

"Ah..." Li Wenjuan's crazy girl nature broke out, she put her hands on her mouth and shouted loudly.

"Haha!" Zhang Junping chuckled, it's great to be young!

Many times, Zhang Junping subconsciously ignores the fact that he is also a young man.

Also, he is already twenty-five this year, and in a few years, according to this era, he will have entered middle age.

Zhang Junping and his grandmother carried a cloth bag, squatted down, and looked for shepherd's purse in a patch of newly sprouted grass.

Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang shared a cloth bag and could do whatever they wanted.

There are a lot of shepherd's purses here, and there are also dandelions. In ten days and a half, the dandelions will bloom. The yellow flowers all over the mountains and plains are very beautiful.

It's a pity that we can't see it this year. The National Exchange Meeting for Painting and Calligraphy Artists has ended, which also means that it's time for their overseas inspections to start.

Zhang Junping was digging shepherd's purse and thinking endlessly.

There are really a lot of shepherd's purses here. In less than an hour, they dug a bag full. Zhang Junping poured the shepherd's purses into the trunk and continued digging.

As for Xia Guoxiang and Li Wenjuan, Xia Guoxiang was okay and was still digging for shepherd's purse carefully, but Li Wenjuan ran away like crazy.

One moment I chase butterflies, the next I run out and pick a dandelion flower and come back.

There are always some dandelions who don't like to play their cards according to the routine. Others have just sprouted and grown a leaf, and they can't wait to show off in the pasture with a small yellow flower.

Sure enough, people can't be too high-profile, as being too high-profile can easily lead to trouble. The same goes for this flower. Being too ostentatious can also lead to trouble. This dandelion, which did not follow the routine, was destroyed by Li Wenjuan.

Grandma was very happy, and the smile on her face never broke. While digging wild vegetables, she muttered to Zhang Junping: "Just like you when you were a child, every moment is peaceful. How can I take you to dig wild vegetables? You are also running around in the forest.

, and even climbed up the tree to poke the hornet's nest.

I wanted to eat honey, but I was stung all over my head, and my eyelids were so swollen that I couldn't open them."

Zhang Junping was speechless. This happened more than ten years ago. It's hard for grandma to still remember it so clearly.

"I don't know either. There is no honey in the hornet's nest. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have poked it. It's all my fault..." Zhang Junping stopped mid-sentence.

Grandma also paused and continued digging wild vegetables, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

The time Zhang Junping poked a hornet's nest in search of honey, he was bewitched by his uncle. In fact, his uncle wanted the hornet's nest, which could be sold for money.

So I tricked Zhang Junping into poking a hornet's nest, thinking it was a good idea, and ran away after poking him.

As a result, a small fork on the branch hooked the hornet's nest. Zhang Junping took a bucket and took the hornet's nest into his arms when he went to collect the branch.

Because of this, my uncle was beaten by his grandfather and he slept on his stomach for a week.

And that year, the uncle who had tempted him to stir up a hornet's nest was also sent to the army not long after that.

And then died on the battlefield in Vietnam.

Just now I accidentally mentioned poking a hornet's nest, and both Zhang Junping and grandma thought of their uncle.

"Grandma, don't tell me, Brother Shuanzhu and Brother Changsheng are really talented cooks. In just a short time, they are very good at cutting vegetables and preparing side dishes.

Occasionally, I can also hold a spoon and stir-fry a few dishes, which is much better than Zhu Zhu." Zhang Junping changed the topic and talked about his two cousins.

You love your grandson because your grandson is a guest, and your biological grandson is the continuation of your bloodline.

Sure enough, when the grandson was mentioned, the smile returned to the grandma's face, "The two of them have no abilities. If they don't study well and learn cooking skills, they will have to stay in the mountains and suffer poverty all their lives.

You keep an eye on them for me. If you don't learn your craft well, tell me and I'll ask your grandpa to take care of them."

"My mother is here, don't worry! If you don't learn the craft well, my mother can take care of them without my grandpa." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

While talking, he dug another bag full of shepherd's purse, and Xia Guoxiang over there also dug a bag full of shepherd's purse.

Zhang Junping raised his hand to look at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock.

"Grandma, I dug enough shepherd's purses to eat, shall we go back?"

In a moment, let’s go to the restaurant and let Brother Shuan Zhu and Brother Changsheng cook two dishes for you, and you can test their cooking skills." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Okay, just enough to eat! Let's go to the restaurant and see how the food they cook is." Grandma patted the dirt on her hands and said with a smile.

"How about walking?" Zhang Junping supported his grandma and said to Li Wenjuan: "Don't be crazy, go home!"

"Ah? Are you going home now?" Li Wenjuan was obviously not crazy enough.

"Hurry up and go, aren't you hungry?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

I drove back to the city and stopped at the entrance of Zhiweizhai.

Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang helped grandma get out of the car and walked into the store.

"Hey! Mom, why are you here?" Seeing my mother, Zhang's mother hurriedly ran out from behind the bar.

Zhang Lihong also ran out, and she and Zhang's mother took over her grandmother from Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang.

"I don't want to cook anymore at noon, so I'll take them to a restaurant." Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma Zhang, Master wanted to eat big buns with shepherd's purse meat, so he took us out to dig for shepherd's purse. We just came back from digging for shepherd's purse."

"This kid knows how to mess with people.

"Xiao Li, go to the backyard and open a small room." When Mother Zhang heard that she really hadn't eaten, she quickly ordered the waiter on the side.

At this time, Zhang Junping also parked his car and walked in.

"You kid, why did you take your grandma to dig shepherd's purses?" Zhang's mother complained as soon as she saw Zhang Junping.

"It just so happened that I had nothing to do today and the weather was nice, so I took my grandma out for a walk. I happened to dig some shepherd's purse to make buns along the way." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"I have nothing to do at home. Why don't I go dig some shepherd's purse? I'm not too old to move." Grandma suddenly became unhappy and said with a straight face when she saw Zhang's mother reprimanding her grandson.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, why didn't you take me with you when you went to dig shepherd's purses? I haven't gone out to get some fresh air for a long time." Mother Zhang said quickly with a smile on her face.

"The relationship is great, let's hurry up! After the shepherd's purse buns are finished, we and I will go dig them out. There are a lot of shepherd's purses where Pingzi took me today." Grandma then put on a smile again.

Zhang Junping made a face at Zhang's mother, who was so angry that she glared at Zhang Junping.

The group of people chatted and laughed as they came to the private room in the backyard.

As soon as they entered the private room, grandma couldn't wait to say: "Ask Shuanzhu and Changsheng to cook some dishes for me, and I will try what they have learned in the restaurant.

It’s been so long, if you still haven’t learned how to cook, let’s see how I deal with these two brats.”

If Shuanzhu and Changsheng knew that it was Zhang Junping who came up with the idea, they would probably cry and say to Zhang Junping: You are not such a fool, we have only been studying for less than two months, and we haven't even learned how to chop vegetables yet.

"Okay! I'll let them cook two dishes for you personally!" Zhang's mother agreed with a smile.
