95 Good Idea
The man had a slender body shape, and good physical proportions. When he was seated at the table, he looked concentrated and careful. He was calm as he wrote the characters, and the straight-back manner in which he was sitting made him look graceful and unworldly.
He, who had been reading books since a young age, looked no longer like a villager.
Qiao Xuan subconsciously believed that he was going to become someone more than a minor Cultivated Talent. She believed that he was going to have a promising future.
Maybe one day, he was going to press down her parents, like a gigantic tree!
Qiao Xuan was dreaming, when Shao Yunduan suddenly looked up and met her eyes. Both of them were startled.
Shao Yunduan was taken aback at first. Then his eyes were on her for a long while.
Caught red-handed, Qiao Xuan realized that she had been looking at him in a straightforward way, and it was very embarrassing when she was caught.
“Oh well… I have picked many mulberries, and they are really sweet. Want to have a try?”
Qiao Xuan smiled as she showed the mulberry wrapped in the large leaf, pretending that she was not embarrassed.
She could just leave if Shao Yunduan shook his head.
But Shao Yunduan nodded. “Oh really? Let me taste it!”
Qiao Xuan. “…”
Failing in her plan, Qiao Xuan had no choice but to step forward.
She put down the mulberries in front of him, smiling. “They are very sweet!”
Shao Yunduan threw a look at her, and put a black, ripe mulberry into his mouth. He bit it open and the sweet juice went across his teeth. He smiled. “It is definitely very sweet.”
“I was telling the truth, right?” Qiao Xuan calmed down, seeing his relaxed state. She added with a smile. “The mulberries look ugly, but they taste great!”
“Yes.” Shao Yunduan chuckled. “You are right.”
“Oh… ah, you can just take your time eating them, I will go and deal with the melon veins, planting melons, I mean.”
Shao Yunduan stood up. “I can help you, I will eat the mulberries later.”
Qiao Xuan blinked and was about to say something, when Shao Yunduan smiled. “I have been studying for half a day, and I need to stretch myself!”
Qiao Xuan laughed. It was coincidental, and had already happened numerous times. So, she did not turn him down but said, “Okay, then, let’s go!”
Shao Yunduan nodded and left with her.
Ms. Niu, who had been so annoyed when countered by Qiao Xuan, came to the first section of the family with her grandson, out of curiosity.
Seeing Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu drying the mushrooms, Ms. Niu could not help but speak up. “Can the mushrooms be eaten? You will get poisoned!”
Ms. Fang snorted. “None of your business!”
Ms. Niu persisted and said, “Honestly, Elder Sister-in-law, why don’t you tell your daughter-in-law not to go into the mountains for useless work? She always brings back wasteful stuff, so Qi gets no time to hunt.”
If Shao Xiaoqi could spend more time hunting for roosters and rabbits, then they could be shared with her family.
Ms. Fang laughed out of anger. “I don’t care what my daughter-in-law is doing. What is your position in talking about her? If you want more wild animals, you can go and hunt them yourself!”
