Going to the backyard, Mrs. Shangguan was shocked when she saw Ah Huang and them. Although he had heard from his grandson that Liu Zhimo's house had several big worms, he was still a little terrified when he saw these huge animals.
After Xiao Xiao saw it, she stretched out her small fleshy hand to hold the hand of Mrs. Shangguan, telling her not to be afraid, Ah Huang and the others would not hurt others at will.
Looking down at Xiaoxiao, Mrs. Shangguan smiled kindly and said hello.
Xiaoxiao smiled, waved to Diandian, ran over slowly, stretched out her big head, and gently rubbed against Xiaoxiao.
"Grandma, come and touch it, you won't be afraid."
"..."
It was the first time for her to come into contact with the big worm at such a close distance, and she was really a little excited.
Seeing Dian Dian, the old lady of Shangguan couldn't help swallowing, and couldn't bear to refuse Xiao Xiao, so she slowly stretched out her hand and put it on Dian Dian's big head, seeing that Dian Dian didn't refuse, she rubbed it boldly.
Girls have an innate love for furry things, even Mrs. Shangguan is no exception.
After she felt a little bit of smooth hair, a feeling of love surged in her heart, and she couldn't help rubbing it again.
After a long while, he reluctantly withdrew his hand and smiled at the little novel, it was indeed very good.
Xiaoxiao proudly puffed out her small chest, and said proudly, of course, it's good to have a little bit of them.
Then, he told Mrs. Shangguan about their great achievements.
Mrs. Shangguan praised repeatedly.
Such a big worm who understands human nature, even if there are a few more, she is willing to raise them.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she wouldn't have believed that there was such a big bug who understood human nature.
It really opened her eyes.
"Grandmother, it's time for us to go." Shangguan Jinyu glanced at the crowd who were all ready to go, and reminded Mrs. Shangguan in a low voice.
The old lady Shangguan smiled and said, okay, let's go.
In order to cater to the crowd, Mrs. Shangguan did not take a special carriage, but walked up the mountain on her legs.
Fearing that Mrs. Shangguan would be tired, Liu Zhimo and the others didn't walk fast. Fortunately, the mountains and forests were not very far away, so they arrived after a slow walk of three quarters of an hour.
Sitting and resting at the foot of the mountain for a while, the group headed up the mountain again.
Fortunately, the mountains in the outskirts of Beijing are not very high, and climbing up is not very tiring. In addition, there are guards and them opening the way, so the climbing is even smoother.
They walked together to the flat open space beside the creek, and the group stopped.
The old lady Shangguan looked around and asked curiously, is it here yet
Xiaoxiao answered with experience, they are going to rest here, and after lunch, they will go to pick wild fruits...
Nodding suddenly, Mrs. Shangguan looked at Mr. Luo with great interest, dug a hole in the ground, and put the earthen pot she brought over on top of the hole.
"What... what is it for?"
"I'll use it to stew mushroom and pheasant/soup later." Thinking of mushroom stewed chicken soup, Xiao Xiao licked her lips and said to Mrs. Shangguan with an exaggerated expression, "It's very delicious."
Although Mrs. Shangguan was a little disapproving, she still had a look of anticipation on her face.
She felt that she had eaten so many delicacies from mountains and seas, could it be better than a pot of stewed chicken soup with mushrooms
It wasn't until she drank chicken soup with mushrooms that she felt that her thinking was too narrow.
Wild/chicken soup stewed with fresh mushrooms is really fresh and delicious.
"Grandma, how is it? Is it delicious?" Xiaoxiao stared at the old lady Shangguan with wide eyes, "I made it myself, do you think it is particularly delicious?"
Mrs. Shangguan held the bowl and drank two mouthfuls of chicken soup before she nodded and said it was delicious.
Some of the mushrooms in this chicken soup were picked by her herself, which can be regarded as her contribution.
Doing it by herself gave her a sense of satisfaction, and the really delicious chicken soup made her feel better than delicacies from mountains and seas.
Today, I went up the mountain with my grandson, and I really came to the right place.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Xiao Xiao took another roasted chicken leg and handed it to Mrs. Shangguan with both hands, asking her to taste the roasted pheasant/chicken, which is also delicious.
The old lady Shangguan didn't refuse, she took it with a smile.
After eating and drinking, she sighed with satisfaction and said, no wonder you guys like to run up the mountain so much. If there are so many delicious foods, I would like to come too.
As the eldest lady from a family, she really has no such experience, this is the first time.
Sure enough, people have to try a lot before they know what is good and what is bad
Xiaoxiao seemed to have found another ally, she winked and said with a wink, next time we will call our grandpa and grandma and go up the mountain together, I miss the roasted wild/chicken and roasted hare on the mountain very much.
"Okay..." Mrs. Shangguan nodded, looking forward to the next trip to the mountain.
After resting for half an hour, Xiao Xiao pulled Mrs. Shangguan to stand up and said that she was going to pick wild fruits.
She heard a little bit that there are many wild fruits on the mountain that no one picks, and they can pick them as much as they want.
The old lady rubbed her little head with a smile, "I'll go with Xiaoxiao." Such a smart and well-behaved child really becomes more and more likable the more you look at it.
Xiao Xiao nodded in response, then pulled Shangguan Jinyu to let him follow her, and they could pick a lot of wild fruits.
Shangguan Jinyu naturally nodded and agreed.
"Daddy, stay here with mother well, let's go pick wild fruits and bring them back for you to eat."
Liu Zhimo smiled, stretched out his hand to help her adjust the pannier, nodded her little nose and said, "Okay, father and mother are waiting for you to come back here, please pay attention to safety, you know?" The lady is pregnant , It is the limit to get here, it is impossible to pick wild fruits in the mountains and forests.
"Understood." Xiaoxiao giggled, and called out to Diandian who was lying not far away basking in the sun, "Diandian, lead the way."
Diandian got up abruptly, turned her head to look at Xiaoxiao, and after groaning, raised her feet and walked forward slowly.
Xiao Xiao and the others followed behind Diandian and walked into the forest.
Liu Zhimo and the others had nothing to worry about. In addition to a little bit of them in the forest, there were also guards with double protection. Nothing could hurt them.
As Xiao Xiao walked, she told Mrs. Shangguan like a grown-up to be careful and not get hurt.
The old lady of Shangguan responded with a smile, and she liked Xiaoxiao more and more in her heart. If she didn't think that her grandson was so many years older than Xiaoxiao, she would have wanted her grandson to make Xiaoxiao her grandson's wife.
Pity…
After walking for not long, Dian stopped, turned around and called out to the little ones, and looked up.
Little and the others looked up knowingly, and saw bunches of overripe wild grapes.
Although it does not look as big as the grapes planted, it is not small.
"Auntie, Putao."
"I see." Li Qingning responded, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to climb up the tree.
No way, the vines of the grapes run along the tree trunk, how can she pick them if she doesn't climb up
The corner of Mr. Luo's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to pull Li Qingning's collar to stop her, making Li Qingning turn around in confusion, what happened to Mr. Luo
"..."
It's not just my family here, how can they be so careless and disregard their image
Mr. Luo pulled her in front of him, winked at the guard standing aside, and told him to go up and press down the grape vines.
The guard nodded, flew up the tree in an instant, stepped on the branches and pressed down, and didn't stop until Li Qingning and the others were within reach.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao clapped her hands excitedly, then tugged on the sleeves of Mrs. Shangguan and asked her to pick wild grapes.
When Mrs. Shangguan saw Mr. Luo making a move, she no longer held back, stepped forward, picked a bunch of wild grapes, and put them in a small basket.
Xi's Xiaoxiao happily thanked her, then pulled Shangguan Jinyu to her side, and said with a smile that her brother wanted it too.
Shangguan Jinyu patted her little head lightly, saying that her brother would pick it off by himself.
Without waiting for Xiaoxiao to answer, he picked the wild grapes by himself.
After finishing the wild grapes, the group continued to move forward.
When they got back to the small river, each of them carried something in their back baskets.
Li Qingling stood up and took a look, and said with a smile, it seems that you have gained a lot.
Xiaoxiao walked in front of Li Qingling, turned the little basket over to let Li Qingling see, "Mother, look, here's something for you and Daddy to eat."
"Aren't you going to eat? Huh?"
Xiao Xiao held Li Qingling's hand, shook it lightly, and ate together, ate together.
Li Qingling smiled and nodded her small forehead, looked up at Mrs. Shangguan, "Old lady, did you enjoy yourself?"
The old lady of Shangguan nodded with a smile on her face and said, have fun.
Tired is a little tired, but I am very happy.
"Just have fun." Li Qingling replied, "I think everyone is a little tired, why don't you rest here for a while before going down the mountain and going home."
Everyone had no objection to Li Qingling's proposal. They rested and sat by the small river, ate some fruit for a while, and then went back home.
Back at Zhuangzi, after Liu Ye served them tea, she whispered to Li Qingling, "Ma'am, half an hour ago, someone from the Liu family sent a message to ask your lord to come to the palace to face the saint tomorrow."
After pausing for a moment, Li Qingling looked up at Liu Ye, and asked where the Liu family was
Liu Ye replied respectfully, and left after delivering the message.
Li Qingling nodded and said that she knew and would tell her husband.
She didn't tell Liu Zhimo about it until Mrs. Shangguan and the others left.
When Liu Zhimo heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "There is news so soon?" He thought he could stay here with his wife for a while!
Unexpectedly, I have only been here for two days, and I will go back.
"When you enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, you will know if it is true."
Liu Zhimo hummed, then turned to look at Mr. Luo who was drinking tea, and asked him what he thought
Mr. Luo put down his teacup and said calmly, he had no idea.
"Then master, what do you think my chances are?" Many people stared at that position, and it was difficult to grab it.
"You feel?"
"..."
The corners of Liu Zhimo's eyes twitched, and he faintly spoke out his thoughts.
