Chapter 62 The roadside wild vegetables were dug up
"Alright! Then I'll take Peach Blossom out with me, so that when we get back, Grandma won't see Peach Blossom idle and say something unpleasant again." Chu Yan didn't decline, but directly agreed.
The lotus flower smiled and nodded, taking Peach Blossom out with her. She was naturally delighted, or else it would be exhausting for her to work and watch Peach Blossom at the same time.
So, Chu Yan Nian took Chu Yan De and left home once again with osmanthus and peach blossoms.
Mo was originally sitting in the yard working with the children, but as soon as she saw Xu come out, she carried a wooden basin and went out.
According to Cuīhuā's words, Mòshi now minimizes the opportunities for face-to-face interactions with Xúshi as much as possible. Even at mealtimes, the children would serve the rice and then send it to the room for Mòshi to eat.
Although Xu also said a lot of unpleasant words, everyone pretended not to hear them. What to do, what to do next.
Mo Shi rushed out of her own courtyard and ran straight to Cui Hua's house.
The Cui family and the Chu family were separated by only one courtyard, not far away. If anything happened, Mo Shi could rush back in time even if she ran.
Mo's handmade work is not as good as Yu's, but it's also not bad. Taking advantage of coming to Cuihua's place, she sews and mends clothes with Liu's old wife while chatting idly.
Osmanthus followed Chu Yan Nian to pick firewood.
Picking firewood is also going up the mountain to pick it, but the road taken is slightly different from the one for picking wild vegetables.
Osmanthus didn't care about that much, anyway Chu Yan thought how to go, she just followed. After all, this big brother's understanding of Daqing Mountain was more familiar than his own, following him would be safer than walking around by himself.
"Brother, it seems like there's nothing like wild vegetables on this road!" Guihua held onto Chu Yande with one hand and followed behind Chu Yanian, walking slowly.
"Yeah, I guess there are more people leaving, and they've all taken the light with them!" Chu Yan carried three-year-old Peach Blossom in her arms, slowing down a bit, which allowed Gui Hua and Chu Yande to catch up.
Osmanthus responded with a sound, and didn't speak again, only observing the surrounding situation.
It's plausible to say that there are few wild vegetables on this road because they've all been picked, but what puzzles Gui Hua is that not only are there few wild vegetables, there's also very little grass, with only the trees on either side growing well, each one tall and straight, with hardly any branches.
It wasn't until Chu Yan Nian led them to stop and prepare to pick up firewood that Gui Hua understood why the trees they had seen before looked so straight, so tall, and didn't have many branches.
It was the villagers who, when collecting firewood, would usually knock down branches that were slightly lower on the tree, while those higher up remained on the branch because they couldn't reach them.
As a result, these trees are like being pruned by humans, only growing upwards and not sprawling out in all directions.
Because the trees on this road have been sorted out by people, Chu Yan led his younger brother and sister to walk for half a day, and finally came to the edge of the nearest forest that had not been cleaned up.
Chu Yan Nian was a master of climbing trees, so the task of climbing the tree and breaking off branches naturally fell to him.
While Gui Hua was watching Tao Hua, Chu Yande stood by and prepared to pick up the dry branches that had fallen on the ground.
Chu Yande knew he couldn't help much at this time, so he pulled Taohua to squat down and play with the soil and stones on the ground. The two of them were very obedient and didn't need anyone to coax them.
