Chapter 441: Like a prisoner being interrogated
This kind of mysterious thing doesn't seem to be of much use.
When the sky was just dawning, Qiao Xihe heard the sound in the courtyard and opened his eyes.
I had nothing to do last night and went to bed early, so now I woke up at dawn, and it didn't make her feel sleepy.
Now her only thought is to help Grandma Yan do farm work after she is cleaned up.
As she was getting dressed, she heard Eric's enthusiastic voice ringing out of the courtyard.
"Morning, Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan. ”
"Oh, what a polite boy. Grandma Yan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Come on, come on, the porridge is just right, and you who don't know if you grew up abroad are used to eating or not." ”
"I'm a good kid who isn't picky. Eric boasted "shamelessly".
In this way, it did not cause any discomfort to Lao Yan and his family, but they laughed even more happily.
Qiao Xihe hurriedly got dressed, and then opened the door.
"Morning, Xihe. Sitting at the small table, Eric was munching on a mouthful of porridge and waving his hand.
"Early. Qiao Xihe nodded, went to wash, and then came to the table to have breakfast, "Grandma Yan, what are we going to do today?"
Grandma Yan said, "I plan to go to the mountains to pick some herbs and mushrooms, and then take them to the town market to sell." Didn't it rain heavily overnight two days ago, the mushrooms must have grown well, let's keep some for ourselves, and I'll make you the best mushroom soup. ”
"I'm looking forward to it!" said Eric.
Grandma Yan smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Qiao Xihe ate silently, his own pickled radish skin, put it in his mouth and chewed it, crispy, sour and sweet, which made people increase a lot of appetite.
Soon, in the small bowl, only the last piece of radish skin remained.
She subconsciously stretched out her chopsticks to clamp them, but collided with another pair of chopsticks.
Qiao Xihe looked along the pair of chopsticks and saw Eric's smiling face.
"You eat. She said lightly and let go of her chopsticks.
"No, no, no, as a gentleman, how can you grab something to eat with a lady?" Eric shook his head, and didn't see anything outside, he directly picked up the radish skin and put it in Qiao Xihe's bowl.
Qiao Xihe was stunned for a moment.
Eric didn't feel anything wrong, and continued to scratch his chopsticks vigorously in the bowl, eating happily.
Qiao Xihe silently ate the contents of the bowl.
After breakfast, after Qiao Xihe washed the dishes and chopsticks, several people picked up the basket and went up the mountain.
Growing up in a village, Grandma Yan is familiar with the way up the mountain and knows where to pick mushrooms, herbs and wild vegetables. Moreover, don't look at her age, but her body is very tough, and she is still out of breath and blushing halfway up the mountain.
This made Qiao Xihe and Eric feel ashamed.
Eric said, "It seems that we will have to exercise hard in the future......"
Qiao Xihe smiled, "I don't know it's too late." ”
"Isn't there an idiom called "It's not too late to make amends?" said Eric.
Qiao Xihe was stunned for a moment, recalled something last night, and asked, "Where are you going to go after leaving this small village?"
Eric touched his chin, "Actually...... I haven't thought of it yet. ”
Qiao Xihe said: "You can go to the northeast to have a look, when the weather is colder, the scenery over there will be very beautiful." Alternatively, you can go to the northwest to see the sunset in the desert. ”
"Your suggestion, I will seriously consider it, and then do a good job. Eric nodded.
"I wish you a good time, but ......" Qiao Xihe thought for a while and continued: "You have been outside for so long, aren't your parents worried?"
"I've grown up......," Eric said this, revealing a bit of helplessness and sadness, "and they're too busy with work to give me much other than money." ”
Qiao Xihe frowned and asked, "What about your job?"
Eric looked at her fixedly and joked, "Why do you feel like I'm being interrogated?"
Qiao Xihe was a little embarrassed, dodged his gaze, and walked forward at a faster pace, "No, no, no, I just have some curiosity." ”
"Haha......" Eric laughed and chased after him, "I was joking." My job ...... I have quit because I just want to see the outside world, otherwise, I always feel that I have come to this world to live in vain. ”
"Well, you're right. Qiao Xihe replied softly.
At this time, Grandma Yan was under a tree in front of her and greeted happily: "Xihe, Eric, come here! There are good mushrooms here, come and see!"
Qiao Xihe smiled at Eric and walked quickly to Grandma Yan's side.
Grandma Yan had already peeled off a pile of fallen leaves and withered grass on the edge of the tree, and below it were a few brown chubby mushrooms, which looked particularly delicious.
Grandma Yan took out her tools, first dug out the soil next to the mushrooms, and then picked out the mushrooms with her bare hands.
"That's what it is. ”
Qiao Xihe said: "Grandma Yan, I remember everything." ”
"Well, Xihe is a smart girl. Grandma Yan smiled and asked Eric again, "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" replied Eric confidently.
"Then I'll leave it to you. "Grandma Yan went to look for mushrooms elsewhere.
Qiao Xihe and Eric squatted down and dug for mushrooms seriously.
Eric, in particular, dug very hard, and in a short time he dug up his piece, "I'll help you." ”
He squatted on the ground and rubbed over, who knew that he had just looked at the mushrooms on the ground, and didn't care about anything else, and his head hit something all of a sudden, and then he heard a cry of pain.
Qiao Xihe sat on the ground with his buttocks, covering his head and having a headache.
Eric hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Then, hurry over and prepare to help Qiao Xihe.
Qiao Xihe rubbed the top of his head and waved his hand, "I'm fine, let's continue digging mushrooms." ”
Eric blinked.
Qiao Xihe turned his head away and continued to dig mushrooms.
Eric didn't say anything more, carefully scooped out the mushrooms in the mud and put them in the basket next to him.
However, the silence has been so long, and the atmosphere is particularly strange.
Eric brushed aside a patch of dead grass, pointed to the red mushrooms underneath, and asked, "Is this edible?"
Qiao Xihe glanced at it, "No." ”
"How do you know?" asked Eric with great interest, "Look at the color of this mushroom, how beautiful it is?"
Qiao Xihe said lightly: "I have checked some information before. ”
"I see. Eric nodded, "That's amazing." ”
Qiao Xihe smiled and didn't answer, and the atmosphere returned to silence.
But fortunately, the mushrooms were quickly dug up, and Eric took the initiative to pick up the basket, and the two of them went to meet Grandma Yan.
Grandma Yan checked the mushrooms they had dug up, nodded and praised, "Not bad, all very good, you two are doing really well......" She looked up at the young man and woman in front of her, "Oh, really, no matter how you look at it, I think you are a good match." ”
