Chapter 134 From Slow to Fast
"Aunt, let's go to the mountains to pick mushrooms too." Zhou Gu took two younger brothers and took two baskets.
Li said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It will be the same if you eat and then go in."
Zhou Guo looked down on their small baskets, turned around and took a few large sacks, stuffing one into each person's hand, "Come on, take them all, the baskets are useless, they can't hold all the stuff."
Zhou Gu and his brothers looked at each other, then dropped their baskets and turned to run into the woods.
Zhou Guo also took a sack and a basket, and pulled Zhou Dacang into the mountains again, shouting without looking back as he ran, "Mom, if the meal is ready, you can eat first and don't have to wait for us!"
She was thinking about the remaining pine mushrooms in the woods and she had to get them back no matter what. If she went too late, they might have been picked up by others.
"Hey, slow down! We are waiting for you." Li was watching from behind and shook her head. It didn't matter if the two of them left. If she could leave, she would also like to go.
The old man who was dozing off nearby saw so many people going into the woods, it was as lively as a market.
Unable to sit still, he stood up, stretched his legs and arms, looked at the mushrooms on the ground and the lonely chicken next to it, then walked slowly into the woods with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, only Li, Zhou Xing and the two brothers Li Lai were left there.
Every time she saw the two little ones, Li would always think of her youngest son. Thinking of him wandering outside, she would always pray that the people he met were good people who could help him. She couldn't help but take good care of the two adopted children.
As they were taken care of more, the two children became more dependent on her, especially the younger one, who was only a little over one year old. He followed her around and circled around her feet every day.
Although the three-year-old was not following her, his eyes were always on her, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second. It was obvious that he felt very insecure.
Zhou Xing thought of her lost sister and lost brother, especially Zhou Suli. She felt very complicated when facing the two children. She often thought that the two children were well taken care of by their family, but was her brother taken care of by others?
If not, who knows where he would be starving and freezing outside. Looking at these two people, I feel it is unfair. Why should my family suffer outside while these two unrelated people eat and drink at home and live a good life?
I thought that if there was any reason, I should be nicer to these two people.
Therefore, Zhou Xing's attitude towards the two little ones depended on her mood and was somewhat changeable. The two little ones were most afraid of her, especially the older one. When she gave him a look, the older one would sometimes be so scared that his face turned pale.
The boys in the Zhou family were not so averse to the two little ones. They thought that since they were brought into the house anyway and were relatives of the second aunt (mother), two more pairs of chopsticks would not be a big deal. They accepted them very well, just like they would their own younger brothers.
……
Zhou Guo led his brothers and other people who were looking for mushrooms in the woods and moved forward.
Zhou Gu said: "Guo Guo, why are you walking so fast? We need to look for it on the ground."
As he spoke, he looked down at the ground, determined not to let go of any wild mushrooms. This is not the way to pick mushrooms. What kind of mushrooms can you pick like this?
Before Zhou Guo could speak, Zhou Mi whispered, "Brother, this is the outskirts of the forest. There aren't many mushrooms to begin with. With so many people looking for them, how many can we find? Let's follow Guoguo. She's been to this forest before."
Zhou Gu understood the last sentence.
Zhou Mai didn't see Zhou Dacang, "Guoguo, uncle, I saw you came in together, where are you going now?"
"I went hunting pheasants with my master. He said he didn't like picking mushrooms." Zhou Guo grinned. Her uncle didn't like picking mushrooms, but she loved it. In the huge forest, every time she found a mushroom among the dead branches, rotten leaves and grass, it was like finding a treasure, more exciting than opening a blind box.
"Hunting pheasants? Where can you hunt pheasants?" When Zhou Mai heard this, he also wanted to go. He also wanted to go hunt pheasants.
Zhou Guo said: "I don't know. This forest is so big, who knows where they ran to? Oh, let's go quickly, go quickly."
I hope that treasure trove is not discovered by others, otherwise we can pick up several sacks of treasure.
……
From a distance, she saw that no one had come to the piece of land she had found, so she happily walked forward with the bag, squatted down and started picking up the grass, working left and right, without even having time to remove the dead branches and leaves stuck on the grass.
The three Zhougu brothers almost dropped their jaws when they saw the large field of pine mushrooms in front of them.
"...This, this, this is too much, right?" Zhou Gu was extremely surprised. He has been picking mushrooms for so many years since he was a child, but he has never seen such a scene. How many can he pick from such a densely packed area?
Zhou Mi and Zhou Mai didn't say anything. They just squatted down and started picking things into the bag, quickly and steadily, just like mowing grass. Each one was faster than the other, fast and steady.
Zhou Gu looked around, squatted down with the basket in hand and picked up the flowers one by one, removing the muddy roots as he did so. He handled everything very cleanly, slowly and calmly.
This is the scene that happened to the four siblings of the Zhou family. The three younger ones were so busy that they wished they could grow six hands at once, while the oldest one was leisurely picking vegetables as if he was picking vegetables in his own vegetable garden.
Zhou Guo turned around inadvertently and saw his eldest cousin looking calm and composed. He was stunned and wondered how long ago he was like this, never in a hurry to do anything. He didn't know when he started to change and become so impetuous.
Well, I think this is not a good idea. It is better to do things neither too hastily nor too slowly.
Without stopping, he picked a few more and put them into the bag. He took his time, thinking, "I'll deal with it later. I'll finish picking all the pine mushrooms in front of me first."
Four people were picking up the mushrooms in such a large area. After picking up the mushrooms, three of the four sacks they brought were full. Zhou Gu also carried a basket of clean pine mushrooms, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Guo looked at the sky. It was already getting dark in the forest. Perhaps it was because she had been picking mushrooms for too long. She looked around. Even without closing her eyes, she felt that all she saw were piles of mushrooms. It was even more incredible when she closed her eyes.
The Zhou brothers tied the mouth of the sack tightly and carried it out on their shoulders.
Zhou Gu wanted to look around, "It's still early, let's take a look, there must be more."
Zhou Guo said, "Forget it. We have already picked up three sacks. It will be hard to walk in the forest after dark. Mother and the others will be worried. They are waiting for us to come back for dinner."
When they heard that they had to wait for dinner, everyone stopped talking and just picked up their sacks and went out. There were now so many fewer people eating together in their family, and every time they ate, they would wait until everyone had arrived before eating together.
Zhou Guo was carrying a basket of wild mushrooms. He looked at his brothers carrying large sacks each and felt that it was a bit strenuous. "Brothers, let me carry the sacks."
