Chapter 130 Mushroom Picking
Chapter 130 Mushroom Picking
The temperature drops after the rain and your whole body gets soaked, so you might catch a cold.
"Wife, I'm fine. Are you wet?" Lu Beichen was more worried about her than himself.
"No, I just ran into you when I went out. Just soak it well, the ginger soup will be ready soon."
Looking at the disappearing figure, his eyes were full of smiles.
It’s great to have a wife!
I closed my eyes and soaked in the hot spring comfortably. If my wife was not pregnant and couldn't soak, I would have wanted to drag her along.
When he returned to the cabin, the ginger soup had already been cooked and was just served on the table.
Seeing him come back, I pulled him to sit down quickly: "Drink it while it's hot. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere now?"
Lu Beichen chuckled. "Wife, I've been exercising regularly, so my health isn't that bad. Have you forgotten? I've always taken cold showers, even in winter, so don't worry, I'm fine."
Although he said that, he still picked up the bowl and drank it obediently.
Seeing him finish drinking, she finally felt relieved and pouted: "I don't care, you are under my control now, you have to listen to me!"
He held her in his arms and kissed her forehead lovingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"It's my fault too. I prepared everything for you except an umbrella and a raincoat, otherwise you wouldn't be soaked to the skin." Touching his face, she realized that when she first saw him, his lips were pale and purple, which made her feel distressed.
"Silly girl, it's not your fault!" He ruffled her little hair, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Tonight she made pork ribs casserole porridge, served with pan-fried buns and dumplings.
Afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat, I fried twenty pan-fried buns and 60 fried dumplings, not worrying at all that he wouldn't be able to finish them.
As she expected, he loved it.
Fu Ling only ate three pan-fried buns and ten pan-fried dumplings, and the rest went into his stomach.
Fu Ling also enjoyed the casserole porridge very much.
"I don't know how long the rain will last. When it stops, I'm going to go mushroom picking."
"Okay, I'll take a break the day after tomorrow and go with you."
"Okay, let's pick more. Chicken stewed with wild mushrooms is the best."
Just thinking about it made him drool and lick his lips. Seeing this scene, Lu Beichen felt his mouth dry. It was too tempting...
The next afternoon, the rain finally stopped. I made an appointment with Xiangyi and Mrs. Qin to pick mushrooms the next day.
At night, Fu Ling and Lu Beichen went to bed early...
No need to shout, the obsession with picking mushrooms is so strong that it will get up by itself when the time comes.
When I came to the yard to check the weather, I was immediately excited: "Hahaha, the weather is so good today, God is helping me!"
After breakfast, they hurried to get ready. Soon Xiang Yi came over to call for help. Seeing Fu Ling ready to go, she was a little stunned: "Is this the fastest time today?"
"Of course, the cute mushrooms are already waving at me!"
Xiangyi chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go! Sister Qin is waiting for us."
With a wave of her little hand, she said, "Let's go!"
Along the way, I saw groups of military wives heading towards the back mountain.
Fu Ling: “…”
I thought I would be the first one, but...
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "We're all waiting for the rain to pick mushrooms. We do this every year! By the way, do you know which mushrooms are which? Some of them are poisonous. If you don't know, just follow me."
"Sister-in-law, we know each other!" Just kidding, you must do your homework before coming, otherwise what will you do if you get stuck?
When they reached the back mountain, Fu Ling exclaimed, "WTF?"
Are all the military families out in force? This area is already packed with people...
"Depending on the situation, we have to go inside. There are too many people here..." Xiangyi said helplessly as she looked at the crowd.
Jiang Yan smiled and replied, "I know where there are a lot of mushrooms. Follow me."
After walking inside for about twenty minutes, the crowd was no longer visible, only the three families.
"Wow! Look! Mushrooms!" All I could see were mushrooms.
The cute little umbrella heals people's hearts, and even children are captivated by it...
Qin Miao and Qin Baoer were extremely excited. This was their first time picking mushrooms. They had not brought them out before because they were too young and worried about the danger.
"Mom, is this a porcini mushroom?" Qin Miao asked as he picked a mushroom.
"Yes, there is a patch of chicken mushrooms over there, you can pick them all. Don't run around, just stay around us, okay?" Mrs. Qin reminded them again and again.
"I know, Mom. You've reminded me eight hundred times."
"You little brat, you're getting impatient already? Who am I doing this for?" Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at Qin Miao.
Fu Ling and Lu Beichen were inseparable. Lu Beichen was responsible for carrying the baskets, while she was responsible for picking the fruits.
"Wife, there is a piece of..."
"Ah? Where?" Hearing there was a group, he immediately became alert.
When he got closer, Fu Ling laughed out loud: "There are so many!"
The area that Lu Beichen pointed to was filled with densely packed chicken mushrooms, which were large and numerous.
I started picking the fruits busily and swept them all away. This area took up a whole backpack.
They were not worried about not being able to fit everything. If the basket showed any signs of bursting, Lu Beichen would put it into the space ring.
Fu Ling only needed to concentrate on picking the fruits. Lu Beichen now became her radar, and she would pick wherever he pointed.
It directly replaced the system work, and the two of them cooperated very well.
They almost cleared this area throughout the morning. After the upgrade, the system can now scan up to 500 meters.
There were no mushrooms within about 100 meters around, so they had to go further to pick some. With Mrs. Qin and her family around, they didn't have any idea of going any further.
Fu Ling felt very sorry. The system showed that there were still a lot of them left, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
Lu Beichen looked at it helplessly: "Do you still want to continue?"
Fu Ling nodded and rubbed her little head. "We only brought one backpack, and it's been filled many times. I think I'll come with you next time it rains. It's almost time to end today. Don't you even know what time it is?"
Only then did she look at the time on her watch. It was already past eleven o'clock.
I can only give up helplessly: "Okay, go back!"
Xiangyi and the others had been sitting nearby waiting for them. Seeing the two of them coming over, they smiled and asked, "How was it? How many did you pick?"
"Of course it burst, otherwise I wouldn't have been willing to come back...but the backpack couldn't hold it all."
Mrs. Qin also smiled and replied, "Xiao Jiang chose a great place. Look, the baskets we brought are all full. This year's harvest is the biggest ever, all thanks to you."
Every year, Mrs. Qin only picks fruits from the outskirts, and at most picks enough for one or two meals. There are too many people, and there is simply not enough to pick.
"It's getting late, let's go back!" said Deputy Battalion Commander Qin.
Everyone nodded, and each of them seemed to be reluctant to leave. Even Qin Miao and Qin Baoer didn't have enough fun.
There were not many mushroom picking teams outside, and the wives of the soldiers were filled with envy and jealousy when they saw their baskets.
They were also picking mushrooms, but they had so many that they couldn't even fit them all in. Look at their backpacks...
There were also shameless ladies who came to eat mushrooms: "Oh! You picked so many, how can we eat them all? It will be a waste if we can't finish them all."
Mrs. Qin was in a dilemma. Usually, she would rather mind her own business and give some money away to keep things peaceful. But today she didn't come alone. If she gave it to other military wives, they would come in droves, and the two sisters would suffer as well.
She didn't say anything, but Fu Ling didn't give in. "Auntie, I have a big family. My parents-in-law and my parents all like to eat wild mushrooms. It just so happened that it rained and I found some. I'll dry them and send them back to them. You don't have to worry about it. They won't go bad! Auntie, take your time picking them. We'll go back."
