After Qi Nan left, Zhong Cheng's expression changed instantly.

He touched his stepped foot with a smile on his face.

What an interesting place! Interesting sights, interesting people.

He lazily lay back on the wooden chair. A snow-white homing pigeon flew outside and landed on Zhong Cheng's shoulder.

Zhong Cheng reached out to catch it and took out the note from the mailbox hanging on its feet.

After reading the content, the smile on his lips deepened.

"It seems that I can't pay back the money for the time being, so you should stay for now."

"Cuckoo~" The pigeons seemed to understand his words and flew happily around him.

Three days later, Zhong Cheng did not pay back the money.

After being beaten by Qinan with a wooden stick, he became Qinan's little slave, working behind him every day until the debt was paid off.

Qinan's goal today is to go to the mountains and break bamboo shoots.

Qi's father and Qi's mother took the two little ones to the town for shopping. She carried a basket on her back and came to the willow tree she had agreed with Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Chengyi has been waiting here for a long time. Today he changed into Uncle Li's old clothes. He still held on to his coarse linen clothes. He leaned against the big willow tree with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. The spring breeze blew by. , the sideburns on his sides were slightly raised, making him even more handsome.

This scene gave Qi Nan a small impact. With his beautiful face and body, it was not a sin to take a look at him as he passed by.

It is undeniable that although the person in front of you is a bit hateful, his appearance can be regarded as the Tiancai among the boys. He looks good even wearing a sack. It is hard not to envy him!

But when he thought of the missing 1 taels, Qinan no longer had any thoughts of appreciation.

She gave Zhong Cheng a wink, and then took off her backpack.

Zhong Chengma took it quickly, and then asked Qinan what his mission was today.

"What are we going to do today? Let's go quickly." He frowned, looking forward to the next activities.

Ever since he and Qi Nan had experienced digging wild vegetables, digging medicinal materials, and collecting firewood, he had completely fallen in love with the feeling of working.

Qi Nan felt that he was just a wild bull. He looked weak and weak on weekdays, but he looked completely different when he was working.

1 Thinking of the highlight moment when he chopped down several big trees to collect firewood, Qin Nan deeply felt the difference in strength between them.

But this man is really strange. She had such a bad attitude before, but now he still seems to obey her.

Could it be that he has a noble character and is acting like this because he has a bad conscience because he owes money?

"Today you are going to fill this basket with bamboo shoots and pick up a bundle of firewood."

"No problem, wrap it on me."

Zhong Cheng was walking forward with a basket on his back. In these days, he had thoroughly explored several mountains and forests they had visited.

He had set up a spot where water bamboo shoots abound a few days ago.

After passing through the last bamboo forest and climbing over a small hill, they came to a place where many water bamboos grew.

Water bamboo is not as tall and strong as other bamboos. Its branches and leaves are long and thin. They usually grow in clusters together, forming dense water bamboo forests.

Their ability to grow and reproduce is also very strong. There has been a popular saying among the people that if one bamboo falls this year, it will be all over the mountain next year.

"This is it, let's go and break the bamboo shoots."

Zhong Cheng was already a little eager to try. He carried the basket on his back and burrowed into the bamboo forest. His figure was as nimble as a monkey. Qi Nan was still standing outside. After a while, even his shadow could not be seen.

Qi Nan shook his head and went into the water bamboo forest to look for bamboo shoots.

Nowadays, a lot of water bamboo shoots have appeared on the ground. They are of different heights and usually they are concentrated in one piece when you see them.

Qi Nan specially selects and chops the batch of bamboo shoots with the most appropriate size and tenderness. Such bamboo shoots have the best taste whether they are eaten mixed or stir-fried.

She squatted on the ground, holding the chopped bamboo shoots in one hand, and continued to break them on the ground with the other hand. Listening to the clicking sound when the bamboo shoots were separated from the ground, not to mention how healing it was.

After a while, she broke off a large pile of bamboo shoots, which she could hardly hold with both hands. She decided to sit there and peel off the shells first, and then wait for Zhong Cheng to come back to her.

There is also a skill in peeling off the bamboo shoots. Use a knife to cut the bamboo shoots tip at an angle, wrap around the remaining bamboo shoot shells on the bamboo shoot tips, apply outward force in one direction on your fingers, and wrap it around a few times. You can peel the bamboo shoots cleanly.

"It turns out that freshly peeled bamboo shoots taste like this! Those bloggers really didn't lie to me. This method of peeling bamboo shoots is also very practical."

Qinan still remembers that when she was very young, there was this kind of water bamboo in her hometown. At that time, she didn’t understand that the bamboo shoots were peeled off piece by piece. She would feel special after peeling each bamboo shoot. A sense of accomplishment.

At that time, my mother always thought she was slow, but she was very domineering and would not let others touch the bamboo shoots. She had to peel all the bamboo shoots out slowly by herself.

Later, she couldn't remember whether she had finished stripping it alone.

Later, they moved, and the water bamboo forest in their memory was no longer there.

When she grew up, in addition to working to make money, she was forced to get married. The simple happiness of her childhood became farther and farther away from her. In the end, she even forgot the taste of fresh bamboo shoots.

She also didn't expect that she would re-encounter the joy of childhood in such an adventure. Things that she could only see on her mobile phone before could now be experienced by herself.

Maybe the two time and space will be connected together because of these inconspicuous things. This is another opportunity for her, and she will nourish herself again in this era.

The bamboo shoots in his hands were almost peeled, but Zhong Cheng was still missing.

Qin Nan was afraid that he would run too far and get lost later, so he stood up and shouted loudly.

"Zhong Cheng! Come back quickly!"

"Zhong Cheng! Did you hear that?"

"Come back quickly, we've broken enough bamboo shoots."

……

"Hey, I knew you would be scared on your own. I'd better be considerate of you. I'll come back when I hear you calling me.

You don't know how strong the echo is in the mountains. It's still a bit scary to hear your name echoing in the valley. "

The sound of Zhong Cheng's beating finally appeared, and Qi Nan felt relieved.

The two of them went into the forest together. If something happened, no matter who it was, the other party would be in bad luck.

"Don't run so far next time. Whatever you do must be within my sight."

"Okay, just listen to the silly boss."

Silly Ya is the nickname given to Qi Nan by Zhong Cheng. In the past, Qi Nan would quarrel and retort with him, but now he just lets him go.

This person would listen to her whatever she said, but in fact he was as stubborn as a cow when it came to the things he insisted on.

"Why don't you put down your backpack quickly and peel the bamboo shoots quickly? We'll go back soon."
