The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 28

Yunyi wanted to first give a little something to her acquaintances among her fellow workers, particularly those with whom she had strong relationships. Apart from giving two kilograms each to Uncle Wang Yuemin and the workshop director, who was her immediate superior, she believed it would be fine to distribute smaller portions to others who had good relationships with her. As for the rest, she mentioned that she would give them to her relatives, and anyone who understood would naturally approach her to exchange.

Wang Yuemin pointed to his own home and said, "With such a large yard, how much can you fit here? You should take some back first. If someone else wants it, I can either deliver it to you or you can come and pick it up yourself. This half sack weighs dozens of kilograms; it would be too burdensome for you to carry it all the way back."

After considering it for a moment, Yunyi agreed, "Alright, I'll leave it with you for now."

Once her cloth bag was packed, Yunyi planned to leave on foot, but Wang Yuemin insisted on giving her a ride back on his bicycle.

"My house is close to the factory, and carrying so many things will be too heavy for you."

In reality, it was just a bag of mountain produce, weighing only seven or eight kilograms. Yunyi certainly didn't consider it a big deal since she didn't start work until the afternoon. Taking a leisurely ride back wouldn't hinder her in any way. However, since the other person was considerate towards her, she didn't refuse.

"Okay, no problem. You can come and collect it this afternoon."

Wang Yuemin watched Yunyi depart before thinking to himself that he didn't mind the trouble at all. This was a perfect opportunity to see each other again. Lately, his mother's health had been fluctuating, keeping him so occupied that he hadn't had any time to meet with Yunyi.

The autumn harvest season in the Hongqi Brigade was coming to a close. Apart from the young and able-bodied workers who went to the factory every day, the children and elderly at home had already begun to gradually head into the mountains to collect the matured mountain produce on the outer perimeters.

It wasn't yet truly cold at the end of October, but it was the prime time for many mountain products to ripen. If they waited a little longer until the temperature dropped with the onset of winter, not to mention that most of the fruits would have already fallen from the trees, there wouldn't be much left to pick.

Ever since the Yun family's twins, Yun Shuangqi, could finally stop going to the fields every day, they naturally joined in collecting the second wave of ripe mountain produce.

However, during this time, the advantages of age and experience became evident. The elderly in the family, who were over fifty, clearly possessed a knowledge of the mountains that couldn't be matched by these young ones who had only been going there for a few months.

Of course, the Yun family didn't have any elderly members, but they had their own advantage. They had "Fu Baobao" (Lucky Baby) from the Yun family.

"Fu Baobao," under the guidance of Xu's system, led his older brothers and sisters without falling behind among the "mountain expedition force" consisting of the elderly and children in the Hongqi Brigade.

"In a few days, the team will organize an expedition into the mountains. It won't be as free as it is now."

In the evening, several children returned home and spread out the mountain produce to dry. Yun Shuang had already learned from her parents' conversation that in a few days, after all the grain in the brigade was stored, the members would be organized to go into the mountains together.

Usually at this time, they would venture deep into the forest. Even if young adults went in alone, it would still be extremely dangerous in the deep mountains. Therefore, every year at this time, the brigade would organize the members to go into the mountains for harvesting. Children were not allowed to participate in such activities.
