When Wen Shanshan heard what Huo Ying said, there was no personal grudge involved, and she asked confidently: "If you don't help, why do you have the nerve to come here every day to eat?"
Huo Ying looked embarrassed.
Damn it, this woman Wen Shanshan always speaks so to the point.
She comes here to eat every day, isn’t it just a waste of time?
But she really doesn’t want to bask in the sun.
Standing behind Huo Ying like a safe fortress, the motionless Huo Jin thought that according to the temper of the eldest lady, she would definitely make a fuss and say she won't eat, so she left directly.
As a result, he saw the eldest lady coming back with her eyes staring at him.
"Brother Jin, I won't help, but you can go. You are very strong and can beat ten with one, so you will do my share."
Huo Jin never refuses the eldest lady’s request, but...
He said calmly: "If I go to help, there will be no one to protect you, miss."
Huo Ying waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "It's very safe here, Brother Jin, don't worry, just go and work in peace."
Xu Qingzhi effortlessly obtained a labor force that was more capable than Jiang Xiao.
She happened to be worried about her father's stubborn temper and insisted on building the spring hole alone without any help, so she called Huo Jin over to help.
After taking Huo Jin to the back mountain to help, several people came down from the mountain and prepared to pick vegetables.
Xia Weiwei's sharp eyes happened to see a small red fruit on the side.
"Wait, Qingzhi!"
Her eyes lit up and she rushed over excitedly. After confirming that the thorn bush was really a thorn bush, she waved to Qingzhi and Wen Shanshan: "Look, there is delicious food here.".
This is one of the few snacks in childhood.
When she was a child, she grew up in her grandma's house. There wasn't even a canteen in the village, and there weren't many places to find such things in the mountains. Every time she saw them, it was like picking up a treasure.
Xu Qingzhi: "It's a thorn bubble."
"Well, our local dialect calls it Tianli Pao." Xia Weiwei nodded vigorously, picked a red thorn bubble and tasted it, "It's delicious, it's sweet."
"Then let's pick some to eat in the afternoon."
Xia Weiwei directly put her top forward and said, "Qingzhi, Shanshan, you come and pick it, and I will pick it up for you."
When Xu Qingzhi saw Xia Weiwei's action, she remembered that she had done the same thing when she was a child. She didn't have any pocket money to buy snacks, so when she encountered such game in the mountains and had no pockets to carry it, she hugged it with her clothes.
When I took it off, it weighed three or four kilograms and I couldn’t hold it anymore.
Xia Weiwei still had more to say, and said with some regret: "I don't know if there are any more when I pick them next time. When I was a kid, this stuff was a hot commodity. If I find it, I will definitely pick it all off."
"There will be more. This part of the mountain is reserved by my family, so no one comes here."
Xia Weiwei raised the corner of her mouth and said with a sly smile: "Rich lady, do you mind taking care of me?"
It made Wen Shanshan laugh.
Xu Qingzhi put his arms around her shoulders and said, "I definitely can't support you, but when the mountains behind my house bloom, I will provide you with enough fruits every year."
"I'm already looking forward to it, by the way..." Xia Weiwei asked: "Qingzhi, what fruits are you planning to plant?"
"We have already planted cherries and bayberries, and we will plant strawberries in the second half of the year. Later we plan to plant peaches, oranges, grapefruits, loquats, watermelons, grapes, melons..." Xu Qingzhi counted them one by one with his fingers. He wanted to eat too much.
She lost count, "Grow as much as you can. Fruits mature in different seasons, so you can eat them all year round."
Xia Weiwei's eyes were bright, "This is simply my ideal life. When I return to my hometown, I have mountains and land, and I can grow the vegetables and fruits I want to eat."
"Then you stay." Xu Qingzhi said.
Xia Weiwei smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I'll just continue to work in the entertainment industry. My family is still waiting for me to make money to support my family."
Xu Qingzhi understood and nodded.
After going down the mountain, take the thorn bubble back first.
Huo Ying saw them coming back so quickly, "Have you finished picking vegetables?"
"No, I picked some food on the mountain and came back." Xia Weiwei pointed to the other person to look at the things on her belly, "It's all sweet pickles, very delicious."
The delicacies gifted by nature are not polluted by pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and are enveloped by spiritual energy.
After washing it with water two or three times, several people sat under the persimmon tree and began to taste it.
Xia Weiwei twisted her body happily, "It's delicious. It really tastes like childhood. I haven't tasted it for a long time."
"It's so sweet and has such a special taste. It's completely different from the taste of other fruits." Wen Shanshan said.
Huo Ying had seen this thing called raspberry in the supermarket, but he hadn't eaten it yet, so he tasted it. A small sweetness splashed in his mouth, and the taste was very surprising, "It's really delicious. I
I've seen it in the supermarket before, but I've never bought it. I might buy some next time."
"The ones sold in supermarkets are different from this one, and the taste is still different." Xia Weiwei started to educate herself seriously, "Although they look similar, they are not the same variety. There are many varieties of raspberries, there must be hundreds of them.
It’s just that the current market distinguishes cranberries, blackberries and the like by color, but the taste of some cranberries is worse. I have bought them in the supermarket before, and they don’t taste as good as this one.”
Xu Qingzhi also loves to eat. When she first mentioned to her mother that she wanted to grow fruit, she mentioned this.
She had already bought seedlings and planted them in the space.
Raspberries are very easy to grow and much easier to care for than strawberries and blueberries.
Unlike strawberries that use stolons to propagate, raspberries will sprout many root seedlings from their underground stems every year. When the root seedlings mature, they will be dug out and a new seedling will emerge.
The most exaggerated thing is that sometimes any branch touching the ground can produce many big white roots.
If you grow in space, you don’t have to worry about detoxification and variety variation.
Xu Qingzhi waited for the ground in the back mountain to be dug up and the roots and seedlings in the space to grow, and then she would transplant them out.
Wen Shanshan didn't know what Qingzhi was thinking, but after tasting such delicious thorns, she couldn't help but be moved: "Qingzhi, you can plant some, it's delicious. It would be great if you could eat it every year. The wild ones say no."
I’m sure we won’t be able to eat it any year.”
Xu Qingzhi touched her head and smiled fondly: "Okay, I will plant a little."
"I will come to eat when the time comes!" Wen Shanshan raised her hands, obediently like a child who raises her hands to answer questions in class.
When Huo Ying heard this, he also raised his hands high: "I, I want to eat too!"
Xia Weiwei smiled: "When the fruit is ripe, remember to call me, Qingzhi."
