foot of the mountain.

Shen Xue Ning came to the foot of the mountain where cacti were planted.

After picking for a few days, there are still a lot of prickly pear cacti. Now several workers are picking them here and shipping them immediately after picking. They are very busy.

The worker greeted Shen Xuening: "Boss Shen."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and nodded in response, her attitude very friendly: "Thank you for your hard work."

The worker smiled and replied: "Of course, of course."

Shen Xue Ning walked to a cactus that had not been picked yet, put down the basket in her hand, took out the gloves from the basket and put them on, then reached out to pick the pear cactus.

Seeing this, the worker hurriedly said, "Boss Shen, just take the ones we picked. This pear cactus is a bit prickly."

Shen Xue Ning didn't like to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. She said, "I know. Don't worry about me."

The worker hesitated: "This..."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, you guys pick yours, I didn't pick much, I'll take them back to eat."

The worker then said nothing.

Shen Xuening put on gloves, the kind of thick gloves that the cactus thorns usually wouldn't prick her hands, so she could pick the cacti with confidence.

She moved quite quickly. She would pick one by grasping the prickly pear cactus and breaking it open. There were usually five or six prickly pear cacti on a cactus plant, and she could pick them all in two times.

She put the broken prickly pear cactus into the basket. She planned to take them home to eat, so she only needed to pick a basket full.

The cacti here are watered with spiritual spring water, so they grow exceptionally well. Almost every one of them has fruit. At first glance, it looks like a colorful ribbon is wrapped around the foot of the mountain.

Shen Baohong said: "The land here is really fertile. Whatever we plant grows well."

Shen Xue Ning did not comment.

Shen Baohong added: "Now if you want me to go out to work, I won't leave even if you chase me away. I think there is no place better than our place."

Shen Xue Ning smiled. Although this person didn't know the reason, he could still feel it.

Shen Baohong took a deep breath and said, "When I was working outside before, I felt exhausted every day and always wanted to rest. Now I do much more work than before, but I don't feel tired at all. It's really strange."

Shen Xuening asked: "Do you like your current life?"

Shen Baohong said without hesitation: "I like it. I like it very much. I can live like this for the rest of my life."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Then let's just keep living like this."

Shen Baohong said with longing: "Our business will get better and better in the future, and we will have such a wonderful life in the future."

Shen Xue Ning said: "That's for sure."

Shen Baohong adjusted the camera position and took a close-up of the pear cactus: "Yes, yes, that's it. It looks good. If you take pictures like this, you will definitely be more popular..."

Shen Xue Ning couldn't help laughing as she listened to Shen Baohong bragging about himself: "Very confident."

Shen Baohong replied proudly: "You must be joking. Don't you see who I'm hanging out with..."

Shen Xue Ning laughed out loud: "You know how to praise people."

As she spoke, Shen Xue Ning had already filled her basket with pear cactus: "Let's go, back home."

"Okay." Shen Baohong went home with Shen Xue Ning.

After returning home, Shen Xue Ning went straight to the kitchen, put the pear cactus on the stove, then took a small knife and prepared to peel the pear cactus.

Seeing this, Shen Baohong asked, "What are you doing?"

Shen Xue Ning had a rare break today, so she did something she liked: "Peel the skin and make a fruit salad. We'll all eat together later."

Shen Baohong asked, "You are so busy, why are you still making fruit salad for everyone?"

Shen Xue Ning pointed to the video recorder: "It's a good time to take a video."

Shen Baohong didn't say anything at this point: "Okay, then you peel it, and I'll take some good pictures of the process to promote our pear cactus."

Shen Xuening changed into a pair of disposable gloves, then took the pear cactus in her hand and slowly began to peel it.

The pear cactus she planted was very big. One of hers was as big as two of others. She took it gently in her hand. Against the backdrop of her white and slender fingers, the pear cactus looked even more lovely and delicious.

The knife was very sharp and Shen Xue Ning quickly cut one.

Without stopping, she continued to cut the second one...

One after another, the pot was soon filled with peeled pear cacti, and the flesh was also colorful, bright and beautiful.

Shen Baohong smelled the aroma of the pear cactus and couldn't help asking, "Can I have one?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Eat."

Shen Baohong reached out and took one, then put the whole thing into his mouth: "It's sweet, fragrant, and sticky. How can there be such a delicious fruit?"

Shen Xue Ning said in a joking tone: "You seem very ignorant like this."

Shen Baohong was not ashamed but proud: "I don't have much knowledge. I grew up in the countryside and only know about grains. I don't know about those advanced things."

Shen Xue Ning smiled: "You'll know later."

Shen Baohong didn't care at all whether he had any experience or not. He was very satisfied with his current life anyway: "Take your time."

As the two talked, Shen Xue Ning finished peeling the skin of the pear cactus.

After peeling them, Shen Xuening went to get some apples, pears, grapefruits, kiwis, and green dates. Then she peeled the apples, pears, grapefruits, and kiwis. Finally, she cut them into small pieces, put them in a large bowl, added some salad dressing, mixed them together, and made a large bowl of fruit salad.

Shen Baohong looked at the fruit salad in the bowl and said, "This bowl of fruit looks like a rainbow. It's so beautiful."

Shen Xue Ning tasted a bite of the pear cactus: "It's delicious, you try it."

Shen Baohong didn't hesitate to eat several mouthfuls. "It's delicious. The fruit salad lives up to its reputation."

Shen Xue Ning said, "I'll let them know." She took out her phone and sent a message to the family group, "I made a fruit salad. Come back and eat it when you are free."

Shen Baozhu: "Is there something delicious again? It's a pity that I can't eat it at school. Can you take a picture for me to satisfy my craving?"

Shen Zhenzhu: "Woo woo woo, I want to eat too..."

Mrs. Shen: "Aren't you two in class? You're still playing with your cell phones!"

Shen Baozhu: "Mom, today is Sunday. There are no classes today. I am resting in the dormitory."

Shen Yingying: "I didn't have class today either. I really want to eat the fruit salad that my elder sister made."

Shen Xue Ning: "It's easy to eat. I'll make some more and have someone bring some to school for you later. Wait." She went to get some more fruits to make a fruit salad.

Yang Shanchuan: "I'll come back to get it, cousin, you do it first."

Shen Baohong: "Xue Ning is making salad. I will tell her. You all wait."

Yang Shanchuan: "I'll drive back right away." Ever since he bought a car, he has loved going for a drive, which gives him a special sense of accomplishment.

Shen Baohong: "Can you bring some things back for me?"

Yang Shanchuan: "What to bring?"

Shen Baohong: "I will send you a WeChat message alone."

Yang Shanchuan: “Okay.”

Liu Juan: "Ningning, it's a rare day off. Tell me what you want to eat first and I'll make it for you."

Shen Baohong: "Aunt San, we are shooting a video..."

Liu Juan: "Okay, if you want to eat something, tell me and I'll make it for you. It's a rare break, so you should take a good rest."

Shen Baohong: "Aunt San is so nice."

Shen Xue Ning listened to the phone ringing non-stop, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Baohong showed the chat records to Shen Xue Ning: "See, it's Auntie San who cares about you. She told you to have a good rest and not to do anything. She will help you."

Shen Xue Ning took a quick look and said, "Mom is always worried."

Shen Baohong said: "Yes, Third Aunt is the one who cares about you the most, and I think Third Aunt always wants to make up for you, and she feels deeply guilty about her love for you."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Mom has always been upset about the exchange between me and Shen Nana. She treats me better than Yingying and Wenxu combined."

Shen Baohong nodded: "Yes, yes, I feel the same way."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Mom is too gentle."

……

Yang Shanchuan returned home an hour later: "Cousin, is the fruit salad ready?"

"Right away." Shen Xue Ning was still busy in the kitchen. Thinking about Shen Yingying and her classmates, she decided to make more so that they could share it later and improve their relationship.

Yang Shanchuan was not a lazy man. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen: "Is there anything else you need to do? Let me help."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Go to the factory and get some packing boxes."

"Okay." Yang Shanchuan went to the factory immediately.

Ten minutes later, Yang Shanchuan brought the take-away box back: "I didn't know how much you wanted, so I just took some more."

Shen Xuening nodded, took the take-out boxes, and put fruit salad into them, filling more than a dozen boxes.

Yang Shanchuan asked, "Give me all of these?"

Shen Xue Ning said, "You wish. These are for Yingying, Baozhu, and Zhenzhu. Five boxes each. You can give them to them later. Today is the weekend and they don't have classes."

Yang Shanchuan said: "I know, they replied to the message in the group."

Shen Xue Ning took out a bag and put the take-out boxes into the bag one by one: "I packed three boxes for you, is that enough for you?"

Yang Shanchuan didn't dare to say it was not enough, otherwise he would definitely reduce the portion: "That's enough, thank you very much."

Then he took the fruit salad and left.

Shen Baohong looked at him and said, "That's great. I can just come back and eat it. I don't have to do anything."

Shen Xue Ning was helpless: "You are also eating ready-made food, why are you envious of him?"

Shen Baohong retracted his gaze and smiled at Shen Xuening: "I was just saying it casually."

Shen Xue Ning replied in the family group: "Yingying, Baozhu, Zhenzhu, your cousin has brought some fruit salad. You can go to the school gate to pick it up later. Five boxes per person. You can share some with your classmates later."

Shen Yingying: "Big sister, thank you. I'll give you a big hug."

Shen Baozhu and Shen Zhenzhu: "Let's give Big Sister a big hug too."

Shen Xue Ning: "Accept everything."
