Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

429 Eaten

Once Sifu had gone to town with his men, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan carried a small basket and went up the mountain together.

There weren’t many strawberries that were red, so a small bamboo basket was enough.

The other people in the family were busy making ice, and Yifu was making thin sticks, so they didn’t follow the kids.

When they arrived at the strawberry field, each plant had many strawberries of various sizes. They could clearly see that some were completely red, some were half red and green, and some were fully green.

The plant that Jiang Yue was growing had been planted in June and July.

There were also other strawberry varieties, but she didn’t plant them, because this was the only one suitable for planting at that time. The other strawberries were not suitable for planting that month.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stood in the ditch between the ridges and picked all the red strawberries that could be eaten. There weren’t many that were ripe and it could only fill half the basket.

After two days, it would be much redder, just as Liu Guixia had said.

However, there were a few strawberries that had turned red very early. These strawberries had already turned red and rotten, so they couldn’t be picked.

“I’ll say it.” Jiang Yue said to Xue Yan as they went down the mountain.

Xue Yan knew that she wanted everyone to change their names to strawberry, so he only nodded, “Sure.” If she didn’t say it, then he would. Since she was willing to say it, then he would just let her say it.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went home after washing the half-basket of strawberries by the river.

Jinshan had just helped to carry a load of well water and put it at the door of their yard. He saw them coming back, and the small basket was filled with red fruits. Jinshan immediately smiled and said, “You brought your family’s raspberries just like that? When I was working in the fields, I had a peek too. It looked very special, and it’s much bigger than the ones growing in the wild.”

“Yes, we’ve taken a few back.” Jiang Yue said. “I tried it. It’s very good, and it’s sweet and sour. It’s better than the raspberry fruit in the wild.”

“You ate it?” Jinshan was shocked.

The other two ice delivery men were also shocked.

“Children these days… Fortunately, the fruit wasn’t poisonous,” Jinshan said with a smile. “In the past, there were children who were insensible and ate poisonous berries, good thing they came out fine. However, I heard that the wild fruits don’t taste good, so it’s better not to eat random things you find in the wild. The clinic uses it as a medicinal herb, so they definitely won’t give a large amount to people at one time. Don’t eat random things in the future. You got it?”

“But it’s really delicious. Do you want to try it?” As she spoke, Jiang Yue was about to take out some strawberries from the small basket that Xue Yan was carrying for Jinshan and the others to eat.

Jinshan and the others laughed. “No thanks. You shouldn’t eat too much too. You might get sick.”

“Xue Yan and I have already eaten many pieces.” Jiang Yue said.

Jinshan and the others were shocked and quickly shouted, “Erfu! Erfu! Come out and have a look, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan ate a lot of wild raspberries. They might get sick soon!”

Xue Erfu and the others were shocked when they heard this. They quickly opened the courtyard door and rushed out.

Li Hehua bent over and rubbed Jiang Yue’s little belly. She asked worriedly, “Jiang Yue, does your stomach feel uncomfortable? Why did you want to eat the berries? Didn’t we say that we would dry it and sell it to the clinic? If I had known earlier, I would have gone with you guys. Nothing would have happened, right?”
