Song Yingwan couldn't wait to say: "Then let's go after I finish eating? Pick it up and I'll make sugar-fried chestnuts for you to eat."
Tang Xiaotang said excitedly: "Okay, okay!"
Yang Xue's eyes also lit up, "Then let's go back and clean up first, and we'll come find you later. Hurry up and eat!" After that, he pulled Tang Xiaotang away.
Song Yingwan still had a smile on his face when he went back. As soon as he sat down, he heard a thank you and asked, "Are you going to go up the mountain later?"
Song Yingwan was stunned, a little confused as to how he knew.
Xie Ci seemed to have noticed her doubts and looked at her with a pair of eyes, "You guys were a little loud just now."
All right! Their voices just now were indeed not quiet.
"Yes, people in the village are picking chestnuts on the mountain, and we want to see them too."
He didn't stop him in his thanks, but still said, "You are weak, so you don't need to pick up too much, otherwise you won't be able to carry it back."
Song Yingwan readily agreed, "Okay!"
Then take the time to eat, otherwise it will be too late!
A few people saw a chestnut tree before they walked a few steps to the mountain. Chestnuts falling on the ground were everywhere. It was no exaggeration.
Tang Xiaotang, "Wow!"
Song Yingwan said, "Wow!"
Yang Xue naturally wanted to maintain the formation, "Wow!"
A few people didn't have time to say anything, so they squatted there and picked it up. They even wore gloves to avoid pricking their hands.
There were a lot of chestnuts on the ground, but a closer look showed that there were many empty shells, and some were damaged by insects, so the few people picked them up not very fast.
Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue grew up in the city. This was their first time traveling alone. How could they experience such fun? The same goes for Song Yingwan. Although he has seen a lot of things, he has never really put them into practice. At most, he just looked at them on his mobile phone and got addicted to them.
For a moment, several people couldn't hold back. Seeing that the time was coming and they would be late for work if they didn't leave, several people were still reluctant to leave. Finally, they were reluctant to stop when their baskets were full.
The girls looked at the full baskets on their backs, felt satisfied, and went down the mountain talking and laughing.
As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, Song Yingwan saw Xie Ci walking this way. Naturally, Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue also saw her, and they all looked at her teasingly.
Tang Xiaotang was not idle, "Tsk, tsk!"
Song Yingwan didn't feel anything at first, but when they did this, her face felt a little unnatural.
Xie Ci walked opposite them, and the distance was definitely getting closer. Yang Xue quickly pulled Tang Xiaotang and said to Song Yingwan with a smile, "Wanwan, let's leave first. Let Xie Zhiqing take you back!" "
After saying that, he quickened his pace, and within a few steps he distanced himself from Song Yingwan.
When he was asked to express his gratitude, Tang Xiaotang became more courageous and jokingly said, "Xie Zhiqing, we have to go to work and leave first. I'll leave it to you every night!"
Xie Ci stopped, showed a gentle smile, "Okay", and asked kindly, "Do you need my help?"
Of course they wouldn't be so cold-hearted, Yang Xue said quickly, "No, we can do it. Wanwan picked up more than us, so you'd better go help her quickly!"
He thanked them and nodded, then continued walking forward, but his pace was a little faster than before, and he reached Song Yingwan in less than two steps.
Song Yingwan said a little unnaturally: "Why... why are you here?"
Xie Ci did not answer her question, but raised his hand to help her lift the basket, and then said calmly: "Didn't I say I won't let you pick up so many?"
Song Yingwan said with a guilty conscience, "Just... I just picked up so much..."
When Xie Ci heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. Without saying anything else, he used his arms to carry the backpack to his body.
"Let's go!"
Song Yingwan said, "Oh, okay!" After saying that, she quickly followed him.
Song Yingwan didn't take this incident seriously at first, but after work was finished at noon the next day, she didn't come back with a thank you and thought something had happened. When she was about to go out to take a look, she saw him carrying A backpack came back, followed by Xu Lang, who was also dressed in the same way.
When he got closer, he saw that it was full of chestnuts and pine nuts. Song Yingwan said blankly: "You...went up the mountain?"
The expression of thanks was dull, "Yeah!"
At this time Xu Lang also came over and asked with a smile on his face, "Sister Wan, where can I put this?"
Song Yingwan still didn't react and subconsciously said, "Just put it on the ground."
Xu Lang, "Okay!"
After putting down the backpack and standing up, Xu Lang patted the dust on his body and said with a smile: "Brother Ci, I'll leave first. I have to go to work in the afternoon."
He thanked him and nodded without saying anything, but those who knew him knew that although he didn't say it, he kept it in his heart.
Song Yingwan said quickly, "How about eating here? They should have eaten when you go back."
Xu Lang said, "No, I asked Sister Xiuyu to leave the rice for me, otherwise it will be wasted. I will definitely eat two more bowls next time."
After hearing what he said, Song Yingwan didn't force him to stay anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay."
After Xu Lang left, she turned around and saw Xie Ci sitting there, looking at her without saying a word, then looking at the two baskets of things in front of her, silently, and said, "Why...why did you suddenly think of picking up these things? "
Today he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, rolled up loosely on his arms, revealing his slightly fair and strong forearms.
His brows were gentle and soft, and her figure was reflected in his eyes. At this moment, he said calmly: "Don't you like to eat?"
The midday sun shone on him through the branches and leaves, and she could clearly see the fine hair on his forehead being blown by the breeze, and his eyes were deep and gentle.
"Plop...Plop..."
Song Yingwan stood there and heard the sound of her heart beating. The temperature on her face was also rising. It took her a long time to find her voice, "First, let's eat first! It's almost cold."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen, his steps a little hurried.
Xie Ci didn't notice that she was unnatural. After resting for a while, he got up to fetch water and wash up.
While eating, Song Yingwan couldn't help but ask again, "Did you go with Xu Lang?"
After thanking him, it took him a moment to realize what she was referring to, "Yeah!"
Song Yingwan unconsciously poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't stay to eat even though I was helping."
Thank you, "It doesn't matter, Xu Lang won't care about this. I will go with him again tomorrow, and you can just cook his food."
Song Yingwan was stunned, "You still want to go tomorrow? This is enough..."
Thank you, "The ones we brought back were not shelled. Once they were shelled, there wouldn't be much left. We keep them here for a long time in the winter and eat them slowly."
Song Yingwan thought about it and thought it was true. She also wanted to send some back home for Chenchen and the others to try. She responded, "Okay, you guys should go after work tomorrow? Then I'll cook later."
Thank you, "Okay, we'll probably be back around this time today."
Song Yingwan asked with a crooked look, "Then what do you want to eat tomorrow? You don't have to say anything anymore!"
What Xie Ci was about to say was blocked. He thought about it for a while and sighed, "I can't think of it."
Song Yingwan looked at him with interest. He used to look calm and composed, but this was the first time she saw such a distressed look on his face.
But he didn't deliberately make things difficult, "Okay! Then I'll make what Xu Lang likes to eat."
After a moment of thanks, he said calmly: "Do you know what Xu Lang likes to eat?"
Song Yingwan said, "Absolutely!"
“……”
I thanked him and had no desire to continue chatting. I stood up, cleared the dishes on the table and started to wash them.
Song Yingwan thought that he would go to the mountains to pick chestnuts after work today, and he must be very tired, so he said, "I will wash the dishes today! You can go and rest for a while!"
He thanked her and said, "No, I'll be the one to do it. I'll be ready in a moment." After saying that, he took the bowl and left.
Song Yingwan looked at his back, inexplicably feeling that he was a little unhappy, but felt that it was no different from usual.
