Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2442: Chapter 2378: What a Coincidence

Chiang Xiao smiled.

”He didn’t lie to me.”

Meng Xinian looked at Zhu Shun with some pride.

”That’s really fate, fate.”

”This is Chen Yin, we used to play together in the compound, and this is Wang Yi, Chiang Xiao’s good friend and also Chen Yin’s partner.”

”Brother Shun.”

Chen Yin and Wang Yi directly called out ”Brother Shun” with ease.

”Very good, all talented men and beautiful women.” Zhu Shun glanced at Wang Yi, his eyes slightly dim, but he quickly perked up again, patted Meng Xinian on the arm, and asked, ”Quick, quick, quick, come catch fish with me, I’ve been eyeing that fish for two days now, finally managed to corner it into that crevice today.”

”Really going to catch fish?”

”Of course it’s for real! You wouldn’t think I was just teasing the ladies after seeing them, would you?” Zhu Shun laughed heartily and said, ”Alright, let’s go, let’s go, we can talk more while eating the fish later!”

Meng Xinian looked at Chiang Xiao, ”Can I go into the water with this injury?”

Actually, the wound had already scabbed over, and during the earlier fight, he might have strained it too much, but getting in the water shouldn’t be a problem as long as he doesn’t soak for too long.

Chiang Xiao nodded, ”But still, you need to be careful.”

”Got it.”

”Really listens to sister-in-law.” Zhu Shun said to Chiang Xiao, ”Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t ambush him in the water.”

Chen Yin also seemed eager to try.

”Little Yi, should I go down too?”

”You go, it’s not like I said you can’t.” Wang Yi seemed a bit unaccustomed to him asking for her opinion.

”We didn’t bring clothes, you two go elsewhere, come back when we call, we need to take off our clothes to go into the water.” Meng Xinian said.

Chiang Xiao scoffed, pulling Wang Yi’s hand, ”Come on, let’s go check out other places.”

They went into the woods on the side, chatting as they walked, feeling that the weather was just right. Although it wasn’t exactly warm, it wasn’t too cold anymore either, with cool wind and fresh air, making them feel exceptionally relaxed.

”Eh? Are those mushrooms?” Wang Yi suddenly pointed to the undergrowth beneath a tree ahead.

Chiang Xiao looked over and indeed saw clusters of red mushrooms growing in the green grass, the red standing out vividly and beautifully.

”Yes,” Chiang Xiao perked up, quickly walking over, ”Wang Yi, let’s pick mushrooms, grilled mushrooms taste great!”

”But aren’t these mushrooms possibly poisonous? I’ve heard many mushrooms are toxic, eating them could be deadly. I can’t tell which ones are safe to eat and which aren’t.”

”I know!” Chiang Xiao chuckled, ”I used to be a mushroom-picking girl! It’s been a long time since I picked mushrooms, kind of miss it.”

”Alright then, there are more over there too!”

Wang Yi looked around and found quite a few mushrooms in this area.

”We’re going to have a good harvest! But what do we use to store them?”

Chiang Xiao stood up, looked around, and saw a plant that looked like wild yam, with large leaves.

She picked a few leaves and pulled out some long grass blades, then fiddled with them for a while and made two fairly simple grass leaf baskets.

Each basket was made by overlapping two leaves, capable of holding about two pounds of mushrooms.

”Here, one for each of us.”

Wang Yi looked at the ”baskets” and couldn’t help but laugh, ”Xiao Chiang, you’re really handy, coming up with this?”

”It’s nothing, I used to go up the mountain often when I was a kid, we used to wrap wild fruits and such with leaves.”
