The 1970s Little Village Girl [Through the Book]

12

When He Fengjiao heard the footsteps of a group of people behind her, she wanted to walk faster.

However, Zhang Hongyu from the Youth Society called her first, "Comrade He, are you also picking mushrooms in the mountains?"

Zhang Hongyu was a classmate of Shen Qing'an before going to the countryside. He Fengjiao had tried to get close to Zhang Hongyu in order to get close to Shen Qing'an.

So the relationship between the two was pretty good.

Moreover, He Fengjiao had given food and drink to the educated youths before. Although her original intention was to get close to Shen Qing'an, Zhang Hongyu felt that He Fengjiao was still a good person after getting along with her.

So when the people from the Youth Society just now said that He Fengjiao was lazy and gluttonous, Zhang Hongyu didn't say anything.

He Fengjiao heard Zhang Hongyu's voice, looked back, and said with a smile: "Yes, it rained last night, so I went up the mountain this morning to see if there are any mushrooms."

Zhang Hongyu walked forward quickly, looked at the mushrooms in He Fengjiao's basket, and exclaimed: "You actually picked so many mushrooms? There are porcini, morels... and matsutake!"

"These are all good things!"

Zhang Hongyu is an educated youth in the city. She eats commercial grains. There is also an uncle who works in the supply and marketing cooperative at home, so she knows which ones are more expensive and rare.

When the educated youth heard Zhang Hongyu say that those were all good things, they couldn't help but come forward to see the mushrooms in He Fengjiao's basket.

When everyone saw the mushrooms, they were all surprised:

"There are actually matsutake mushrooms. They are so expensive!"

"There are a lot of them. I love to eat them the most."

Zhang Hongyu ignored the comments of those people and just asked He Fengjiao, "Why didn't I see you on the mountain just now? Where did you go to pick them?"

He Fengjiao didn't hide anything and said, "We went to the mountain over there. My eldest daughter took me there." After that, she pointed to the mountain where she and the eldest daughter had just come down.

In this era, you can't keep the location of wild ingredients secret, otherwise you will be criticized by others.

Of course, He Fengjiao didn't want to keep it secret. In this era, everyone lives so hard. If you can pick some mushrooms and dig some wild vegetables, it will also improve your life.

Moreover, Zhang Hongyu had no ill will towards her. She had kindly reminded her before that Shen Qing'an was not interested in her and told her not to bother.

But the original owner did not listen and still thought that she could definitely impress Shen Qing'an and win the handsome man.

Zhang Hongyu lowered her head and touched the big girl's head, saying: "Big girl, you actually know how to get up the mountain there? That's amazing!"

The big girl took He Fengjiao's hand and smiled shyly.

Zhang Hongyu glanced at the direction He Fengjiao pointed and asked her: "It looks quite far there, is the mountain road easy to walk?"

He Fengjiao: "The mountain road is not easy to walk, but there are relatively few people there."

In fact, I met He Dong this morning, and I guess not many people go there.

It's indeed a bit too far.

But it is precisely because there are so few people that we can guess that there are so many mushrooms.
