"Mom."
"What are you calling for! Can't you see we're having a good chat!"
"..."
Shen Yingjun, who only wanted to say hello, was a bit confused at the moment.
"My good grandson, have you had breakfast yet? Grandma still has..."
"Grandma, we've eaten. We'll go out with you and Grandpa after we put our things away."
Seeing her grandmother about to list dishes, Shen Yan quickly stopped her.
If they didn't say anything now, they might be dragged out to eat later.
"You young girls, what are you busy with? Why don't I take you to the willow tree at the foot of the mountain later to chat with your uncles and aunts."
"Grandma! I brought them back because I wanted to go with you to see..."
The thought of the "hot search spot" in the village made her head ache.
She had just returned and didn't want to join the excitement.
"Alright... if you want to see, then let's go see."
"Mm."
"Come, let's go put our things away first."
After chatting with her grandmother and seeing her parents start to move things, Shen Yan pulled Qiu Xi and the others to put away their own luggage.
"Come, spray on more sunscreen, and put on your hats, then we can get ready to go."
She had already discussed the clothes beforehand.
"Yanyan, where are we going later?"
Holding her things, Song Daiyao began to be curious.
"To the mountain."
"I see..."
Since it wasn't going to be field work, it shouldn't be too tiring.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see my dad's little empire!"
After saying that, she pulled the few of them out the door.
After finding Grandma Shen, the group followed a small path up the mountain.
The scenery Qiu Xi and the other two saw along the way was indeed as Shen Yan had said, quite good, very suitable for sketching.
"We're here. We'll be busy here today. You can do whatever you want."
After walking for about ten minutes, they reached their destination.
A fruit forest, with fruits as far as the eye could see.
Seeing the thick branches, Qiu Xi thought they must have been cultivated for quite some time.
She couldn't even get a full view of it.
"Yanyan, what kind of fruits are there on your mountain?"
Foodie Yao was online again.
"Many, basically anything that can be grown here."
Her family used to farm. To develop to this point, in her grandma's words, it was thanks to her dad's vision and insight.
The saplings on this mountain were all carefully selected and brought back by her dad with the villagers.
In the early years, with government support, they were able to develop to this day.
"Then what are we doing today?"
After hearing Shen Yan's words, Song Daiyao's eyes lit up.
Seeing Song Daiyao like this, Shen Yan couldn't help but smile. "There are quite a few, like strawberries, plums, and mangoes. It depends on what you like."
Anyway, her parents didn't expect the few of them to do any work.
And they weren't back to work, they were mainly here to visit and experience life.
After all, after staying in the big city for so long, it was quite refreshing to come back.
"Okay, then you can take us to walk around first."
"Mm."
Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei also became quite interested after hearing this.
This was their first time experiencing this kind of life, it felt like a paradise.
And looking at all the things on the mountain, she felt that her system's "Floral Planting Encyclopedia" might actually be useful...
Since they were here, they might as well take a good look over the next few days.
"It's a pity we came back a bit late, otherwise you could have seen the peach blossoms on that mountain."
Now that the peaches were not far from ripening, they could only see the trees full of fruit.
"Hehe~ It's okay, there are other things, and we can come back to explore slowly in the future."
Song Daiyao, whose heart had already flown to the fruit forest, said whatever came to her mind with her eyes open. She was very happy.
"That's true."
"So, what do you want to eat?"
Since she didn't expect them to work, and knowing her friends' habits, Shen Yan asked directly.
"Wow~ Yanyan, you look just like a rich heiress right now..."
"So happy!"
"..."
They seemed a bit abnormal...
"Yanyan, don't mind her, take me to the strawberry patch first."
Compared to other fruits hanging full on the branches, Qiu Xi felt that strawberries might be a bit easier.
At least they grew low!
Maybe they could help a bit more with these.
"Sure, but this isn't here, we'll have to walk a bit further."
"Mm."
"Dad, we're going to the strawberry patch..."
"Go ahead~"
After greeting her father, Shen Yan set off with the three of them.
It was busy season now, and there were people hired on the mountain, so she wasn't worried.
"Here, it's over there."
After walking for a long time, Shen Yan pointed to a patch of red in the distance and called out to the few of them.
"Wow! This patch of land, it must be so blissful to be in it!"
Song Daiyao couldn't control her urge to step forward.
All the way here, she had truly witnessed what it meant to have "fruit freedom"!
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Lan!"
While Song Daiyao was engrossed, Shen Yan happened to see two familiar village acquaintances and called out loudly with her hands cupped.
"Oh~ Yanyan, when did you get back?"
"Aunt Lan, I just arrived today. I'm bringing some classmates to check out the strawberries in the strawberry patch and help out."
"Where did you find such fresh and lively young girls?"
He Lanhua looked at the few young girls standing on the ridge and was quite surprised.
After all, these girls were too fresh and lively!
"Aunt Lan, you always know how to speak. These are all my university roommates, my sisters."
"Oh, I see, then hurry up and come over."
"Exactly, you two are singing like mountain songs, aren't you afraid of your throats getting dry."
Wang Guoqiang, who was beside them, felt the dryness in their throats for them.
"Uncle Wang, you're still like this."
"It's only been a few months, how could I have changed?"
"Hahahaha~"
"Uncle Wang is still so good at talking, so humorous!"
"Let's not talk anymore, come down quickly and help."
Although they were working for the Shen family, this girl was someone they watched grow up, so they didn't shy away from anything.
"Coming."
"Let's go, we should hurry over."
"Why are you all standing there like fools?"
After calling out, Shen Yan found that no one had moved, which was a bit strange.
"Yanyan! I didn't expect you to be so eloquent!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Qiu Xi came back to her senses and spoke first.
"Mm mm!"
Song Daiyao and Liang Yunfei also nodded incessantly.
Yanyan had truly shattered their perception of being quiet.
