Chapter 19: No Waste
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to talk too much, but she really couldn't get used to Hu Qiuxia, and she felt worthless for Qiu Mo.
Sometimes she has to wonder if Qiu Mo is Hu Qiuxia's biological child. Even if Qiu Mo's brain is not bright, he is also his own son! Why is Hu Qiuxia so ruthless.
If Hu Qiuxia just treats her badly, she can understand it. But she really couldn't understand why Hu Qiuxia was so harsh even on Qiu Mo.
Although she didn't get along with Hu Qiuxia and Qiu Mo for a long time, in the two days she had been in contact with them, she only felt Qiu Mo's respect and love for Hu Qiuxia's mother, but she didn't feel Hu Qiuxia's love and concern for Qiu Mo's son at all.
Is it because Qiu Mo is stupid?
Zhang Xiaohua is actually quite sympathetic to Qiu Mo, she is stupid and only knows that she doesn't ask for anything in return, but she can't get a trace of love from her mother.
"But Xiaohua, what if my mother gets angry and doesn't let us go home?" Qiu Mo asked worriedly.
"She won't, if we don't go back, who will work for her! Besides, it would have been better if she hadn't let us go back, and we'd have stayed in the mountains, lest we have to look at her face when we go back. Zhang Xiaohua said disappreciatively.
"Huh?" Qiu Mo looked resistant and worried, for fear that Zhang Xiaohua would really want to live in the mountains and not go back, so he hurriedly said: "I don't want Xiaohua to live in the mountains, Xiaohua hurry up and go home with me!" ”
Qiu Mo's pleading-like tone made Zhang Xiaohua frown. She glanced at Qiu Mo and said, "Why can't I live in the mountains?" I'm more comfortable sleeping on the street than in your house. ”
Thinking that there was a Hu Qiuxia waiting for them at home, Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to step into that house for half a step.
"Little Flower ......!" Listening to Zhang Xiaohua's ruthless words, Qiu Mo looked pitiful.
Zhang Xiaohua glanced at him, her face full of helplessness.
She is not a ruthless person, besides, she is angry with Hu Qiuxia and has nothing to do with Qiu Mo, so it is useless for her to talk to Qiu Mo about this.
"Okay, I know, but since we have already entered the mountain, your mother will definitely not let us go when we go back now. Since you will be scolded if you go back early, and you will be scolded when you go back later, why not take advantage of this time to relax! You tell me? ”
Qiu Mo looked at Zhang Xiaohua's attitude much better, and he unconsciously felt a lot more relaxed.
"Oh! So what are we going to do? It's not fun in the mountains. Qiu Mo thought for a while and said.
He seems to have given up persuading Zhang Xiaohua to go back. As long as Zhang Xiaohua doesn't really want to live in the mountains, what's not to do if she just plays in the mountains for a while!
It's just that he really doesn't know what's fun in this mountain. Not to mention that the road is not easy to walk, there are still so many mosquitoes.
Qiu Mo looked at Zhang Xiaohua, his bright eyes were full of big question marks.
"You don't know! There's a lot to do in the mountains. Seeing that Qiu Mo no longer asked her to go back, Zhang Xiaohua said mysteriously as she walked.
"Really? What's so fun about it? When Qiu Mo heard this, he hurriedly followed behind Zhang Xiaohua and asked.
"Well...... this!" Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin and looked into the distance, looking thoughtful.
At this time, as if she had seen something, she exclaimed with a look of surprise: "Look, what is that?" ”
Before the words fell, Zhang Xiaohua's figure had already run away.
It turned out that there were several orange trees growing here, and the trees were full of large oranges.
Zhang Xiaohua ran over as quickly as if she had discovered a new continent.
"I'll just say it! There is definitely food in the mountains. Zhang Xiaohua looked up at the orange and said happily.
"Does Xiaohua like to eat oranges? I'll pick it for you. ”
Seeing the orange tree, Qiu Mo was also very happy. However, compared with Zhang Xiaohua, it is much calmer.
It's normal for there to be wild fruit trees in the mountains. In the past, when he went up to the mountains to chop firewood or look for pigweed, when he was hungry, he would look for fruit trees to pick wild fruits to eat.
But today they are apparently lucky that these fruit trees have not yet been discovered. Not only do the trees grow well, but the oranges are also quite plump.
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to speak, Qiu Mo had already climbed the tree.
Because it is a wild orange, no one takes care of it, and the branches and leaves on the tree are luxuriant, and it is very inconvenient for people to move around the tree.
Zhang Xiaohua watched Qiu Mo's tall body shuttling through the lush branches and leaves, and couldn't help but worry a little about him.
"Qiu Mo, what are you doing? Come down, let's find a stick and knock the orange down, why are you climbing up? ”
At this time, Qiu Mo had already climbed to the top of the tree, and he heard Zhang Xiaohua's voice, but he couldn't hear what Zhang Xiaohua was saying. So he poked his head out of the lush foliage and asked, "Little flower, what do you say?" ”
Zhang Xiaohua saw that he had green leaves on his head, and there were 'green skirts' from the neck down. This is clearly an oversized green version of a sunflower!
"Poof!" Zhang Xiaohua immediately burst out laughing.
Qiu Mo was a little confused, but when he saw Zhang Xiaohua smiling, he also laughed stupidly.
"Little flower, come, come on." Qiu Mo picked the largest orange and threw it to Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua wanted Qiu Mo to come down, but seeing his skillful movements, it was obvious that he had done a lot of climbing trees, so he also went with him.
Seeing Qiu Mo throwing oranges at her, she subconsciously caught it.
"Qiu Mo, pick a few more." Zhang Xiaohua shouted.
Eventually, when Qiu Mo came down from the tree, the oranges they picked were all piled up into a small hill.
"It's so sweet!" When Qiu Mo came down, Zhang Xiaohua had already eaten first, and praised while eating, showing a satisfied smile.
"Hey, hey!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohua smiling so happily, Qiu Mo sat beside her and watched her smile stupidly.
Zhang Xiaohua paused, looked at Qiu Mo with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Why don't you eat oranges and smirk?" ”
"When Xiaohua laughs, I laugh, and when Xiaohua is happy, I am happy." Qiu Mo replied.
Zhang Xiaohua: "......"
"Alright, don't laugh, hurry up and eat oranges, we'll have to look for prey after eating!" I must eat meat today. Zhang Xiaohua said confidently.
"Oh!" Qiu Mo responded, then lowered his head and broke the orange to eat.
"I forgot to pick up the bag when I went out today, so if only I could bring these oranges back." Zhang Xiaohua looked at the pile of oranges beside her, and suddenly became distressed.
"Xiaohua likes to eat, and I will go up the mountain to pick it for you every day in the future."
Qiu Mo thought that Zhang Xiaohua liked to eat oranges, so he wanted to take oranges back to eat, so he hurriedly said.
However, Zhang Xiaohua did want to take the oranges back, but not because she liked to eat them, she just didn't want to waste them.
Ever since she came to this other world, she has realized the value of food.
Fang Cai only cared about picking oranges, but did not consider the problem of whether he could eat them all. Looking at so many oranges now, she and Qiu Mo alone will definitely not be able to eat them all.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the orange beside her, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
In order to put an end to waste, Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously ate a few more when she was already full. Until the end, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't stand up.
