Chapter 18 Wild Fruit

"I'm serious. Grandma Xu is very good at hatching chicks. All the chicks in the production team are hatched by Grandma Xu. If we hatch them ourselves, it will be wasted if we can't hatch them. It's better to send them to Grandma Xu and let her help. busy!"

Li Jing couldn't help but rub Jiang Xiaoxin's head. How could a little Zaizai worry so much?

Jiang Xiaoxin's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Li Jing. He looked like a pug wagging its tail and begging for petting.

Li Jing felt uncomfortable when she was looked at. She quickly retracted her hand and said with a straight face, "I'll say it again, I can do it without anyone else's help. Do you understand?"

 Jiang Xiaoxin bulged his mouth, and nodded reluctantly under Li Jing's gaze.

But as soon as Li Jing looked away, Jiang Xiaoxin shook his head helplessly.

He really didn’t expect that she would not listen to advice. When she really ruined these eggs, he would feel distressed.

 Don't cry in distress.

Jiang Xiaoxin didn't know whether Li Jing would feel distressed and cry, but whenever he thought about those eggs that might become useless eggs, he would twitch with distress.

Why didn’t this man listen to him?

Jiang Xiaoxin’s brows furrowed into the character “Chuan” and he was thinking about how to persuade Li Jing. Before he could think of it, he saw Li Jing picking up the ax and ran over quickly.

"Want to go up the mountain? I'll come with you! I'll help you chop down the trees then. Don't look down on me because I'm very strong!"

Jiang Xiaoxin patted his chest to show his strength.

 Perhaps he didn't even realize it himself. After only two days together, he subconsciously followed Li Jing around.

Li Jing held Jiang Xiaoya in one hand, and held an ax and a kitchen knife in the other hand. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiaoxin's small body, and rolled her eyes without any trace, "No need!"

Jiang Xiaoxin was so angry at this perfunctory that he stamped his feet, "Why is it not necessary? Even if you cut down the tree, can you carry it back? I tell you, I am very busy, and I have to go to work later, so I don’t have time to go up the mountain with you!”

 “Well, let’s get to work!”

 Li Jing briefly recalled what Jiang Xiaoxin said about "going to work", and did not think that Zaizai's "going to work" was abusing children. Instead, she was in favor of these Zaizai working hard.

She said: “It’s good to exercise more!”

Jiang Xiaoxin’s nose was almost crooked with anger, and his little fists clenched loudly, “I’m not going to work now, no matter what, I’m going to go.”

Li Jing: "..." He is really an immature kid, not obedient at all.

 Jiang Xiaowen washed the pot and enamel jar before walking over.

"Mom, my brother and I will accompany you. If you go early and come back early, it won't delay our work. Besides, it's not convenient for you to hold Xiaoya." The second brother is not reliable, but the eldest is much more reliable and can analyze. Pros and cons, make sense.

Li Jing looked at Xiaoya in her arms, thought about it, and finally nodded, "If you are willing to follow, just follow!"

As soon as she agreed, Jiang Xiaoxin was extremely excited, but still pretended to be dissatisfied.

“What do you mean we can follow if we want to? We are very useful, okay? Even though you are such an adult, you may not be as strong as me. Besides, I often walk around in the mountains, so I am very experienced..."

Jiang Xiaowen pulled Jiang Xiaoxin without leaving a trace and asked him to say a few words. Finally, his mother agreed to take them with her, but don't be stiffed.

Jiang Xiaoxin curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly. We'll be really late for work later. Hey, give me the axe. I'll hold it, and let my brother hold the knife. By the way, carry the basket. This basket is so exquisite..."

 While Jiang Xiaoxin was chattering, they finally set off.

 …

There are already many people going to the mountain. People of the same age as Jiang Xiaoxin and others are hunting pigweed, and some people from the village are digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits.

Li Jing remembered that she was not very familiar with these people. She simply said hello and left with the three brothers and sisters. Even though they were walking far away, she could vaguely hear people talking about her new stepmother.

 She didn't take it to heart and was completely attracted by everything about the mountain.

With mountains at the back, the resources are really rich, just all kinds of wild vegetables. Li Jing also discovered a lot of wild fruits.

Solanum fruit, wolfberry fruit, and prickly pear all bear abundant fruits, but unfortunately none of them are ripe.



Li Jing suppressed the urge to remove them now and walked away. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoxin ran over and picked some nightshade fruits and stuffed them into his mouth.

The next moment, he grinned, "It's so sour, so sour."

"I tell you, these things are edible, but they are not ripe yet and are very sour."

 Li Jing: “…”

 Why does she think that in Er Zaizai's mind, she is a person who is indifferent to food and work?
