Chapter 184 Today Is a Big Gain
The two exchanged a few words and then separated. Yu Xinyan climbed all the way up. The mountain behind the machinery factory is a branch of Qianqi Mountain. The vegetation here is lush. When family members have nothing to do, they will go up the mountain in small groups. Looking for mountain goods.
There are also a large number of families who, in order to save briquettes, go to the mountains to cut firewood and burn earthen stoves. The stove in the shed set up outside the small courtyard where she lives now is used to burn firewood.
When she reached the halfway point of the mountain, she did not take the path that had been trodden on, but turned to a place where no one went. She was lucky along the way and found a lot of mushrooms, and also collected some mycelium under the trees in the space. If you want to eat mushrooms, you can be self-sufficient.
We also dug up lantern fruits, thorn roses, and mountain grapes into the space. I believe that with the water from the space's stream, the fruits produced will taste better.
She also found mountain red and sorbus fruits on the mountain, and she moved a small number of them into the space. She also found raspberries on a slope. She liked their sweet and sour taste when ripe, so she also moved some into the space. Today is a big harvest.
Along the way, she put all the dry branches she encountered into the space. When she was about to go down the mountain, she released some and tied them into bundles, ready to drag them down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the trail, they met He Jinxuan, who was carrying a pheasant in his hand.
He Jinxuan frowned slightly when he saw it was her: "Why did you come up the mountain alone?"
Yu Xinyan smiled slightly: "I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I wanted to go up the mountain for a walk. I found a lot of mushrooms and picked up some firewood."
He Jinxuan looked at the dry branches she was dragging in her hand: "Someone encountered wolves on this mountain a few years ago. Don't run up the mountain alone in the future. You don't have to worry about firewood. I'll help you get it while I'm resting."
Yu Xinyan knew that he was worried that it would be unsafe for a girl like her to go up the mountain, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, if I really encounter a wolf, I will climb up the tree. Besides, I am not weak, so I can't carry it that little."
He Jinxuan was a little troubled by her disapproving answer: "If you go up the mountain in the future, it is best to be with someone so that you can help if something happens to you."
Yu Xinyan nodded: "Brother He, don't worry, I don't have to go to school on Sundays, and I don't often run to the mountains, so I'll be fine."
He Jinxuan thought about it and looked at the basket behind her: "Can you put down this pheasant?"
Yu Xinyan nodded.
He Jinxuan found something, pulled the grass on the roadside, wrapped the prey, and put it under Yu Xinyan's backpack: "I originally planned to send it to you later."
Yu Xinyan naturally understood what he meant: "Okay, I'll just have a meal of meat that night."
After spending so much time together, there is a tacit understanding, after all, she also has to contribute.
Taking the firewood from Yu Xinyan's hand: "You go first. I will take this firewood with me when I go there at night."
Yu Xinyan knew what he was doing and was not polite to He Jinxuan: "Okay, I'll leave first."
I am even more grateful to He Jinxuan. This man is really careful in his work.
When she got home, she boiled hot water and prepared to take off the chicken feathers. She then went into the house and took out some vegetables from the space. She was not worried that He Jinxuan would be suspicious. After all, many people in the family courtyard exchanged vegetables for her fish.
This was also done intentionally by Yu Xinyan. At least she had a source for eating the dishes in the space. As for the dishes she exchanged for the fish, she would give some to the lonely old man behind the guest house.
I heard that his son disappeared in the Yuquan River while trying to save others, and never saw his body alive or dead. His daughter-in-law later remarried, and his only grandson was taken to his next home by her daughter-in-law.
His son was gone and the factory had taken back his original house, but he didn't want to go back to his hometown. There was no one at home anymore, and he believed that his son was still alive and was determined to wait for his son to come back.
In view of his special situation, the factory leaders made special arrangements. The previous house had been allocated to others, so they asked him to move to the small warehouse behind the guest house.
The room he lived in was previously occupied by a warehouse keeper. The warehouse was full of things that were not used by the factory. He was not in good health and could not do heavy work, so the factory took care of him and let him guard the warehouse here. , although the salary is not high, it can still make ends meet.
