After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

Chapter 173: It’s Time to Mine

Time flies, and it's time to go up the mountain to collect fruits together.

In that mysterious and fertile mountain, countless precious resources are hidden.

According to common sense, these materials should belong to the public.

However, due to traditional customs formed over the years, each brigade will organize people to go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits and hunt some game after the autumn harvest every year.

Although there is no clear legal provision allowing this behavior, it is tacitly accepted and permitted by everyone.

As long as no one deliberately reports the complaint to higher authorities, it usually won't cause any problems.

Because of this, whenever the teams were preparing to go up the mountain to collect supplies, the team leader would call all the villagers to hold an important meeting in advance.

At this meeting, the team leader will explain to everyone in detail the pros and cons of going up the mountain to collect these supplies.

It is also emphasized that even when picking wild fruits or other kinds of wild vegetables, care should be taken to preserve the seeds for the mountains.

Never be greedy and pick and dig up all the fruits or wild vegetables.

Only in this way can we ensure that this mountain can continue to produce rich products and benefit future generations.

After the team leader has finished what he needs to say, the next step is to choose an auspicious day and lead those who want to go up the mountain to embark on the journey.

Only after completing the above series of solemn ritual processes and spending the designated day, the people in the group were allowed to go up the mountain in groups.

On the way up the mountain, everyone has the right to make their own choices and can travel with familiar companions to take care of each other.

Of course, if someone prefers to walk alone in the mountains and forests and enjoy the tranquility and freedom, that is completely feasible.

Moreover, no matter what precious materials an individual ultimately harvests, they will belong to the discoverer himself.

So at this moment, when preparing to go up the mountain to collect supplies, everyone in the team was filled with joy and excitement. After all, they could get so many good things for free.

Therefore, on this day, almost everyone carried a backpack and was ready to go up the mountain with the team leader with great enthusiasm.

Not to mention the educated youth from the Youth League Institute who had been looking forward to it for a long time. This was their first time participating in such an activity.

At this moment, they firmly remembered what Xia Zhiyan had told them. Those who had gloves wore gloves, those who had hats wore hats, and they had all kinds of equipment ready.

When the eight of them arrived at the gathering place, dressed neatly, each wearing rubber shoes, gloves, a hat that could protect their hair, carrying a small backpack or a small basket.

The people in the team kept looking back at this huge scene. Some of them thought that it was just a trip up the mountain to pick some wild game and fruits, and there was no need to make such a grand ceremony.

Some people think that people from the city are spoiled, but most people think that these educated youth are well prepared.

Their team leader must have put a lot of thought into it. After all, it was their first time going up the mountain and they had no experience. Wearing gloves, hats, etc. could help protect themselves.

It is wise to do the best you can to protect yourself within your limited abilities.

Therefore, he just glanced at them lightly, then turned around and chatted with people he knew about gossip.

Just as the young educated youth arrived at the gathering place one after another, the team leader's aunt in the crowd looked around anxiously.

When she finally caught sight of the figure she had been longing for and whom she regarded as her future daughter-in-law, a smile as bright as a spring flower immediately bloomed on her face.

She left the old sisters who were chatting animatedly beside her without hesitation and walked towards the target with light steps.

When she got closer, the captain's aunt stretched out her hands with a smile on her face and gently held the little girl's soft and boneless hands.

Then, she bent down slightly and spoke to the little girl and her companions in a friendly tone:

"Xiao Lin, although you often go up the mountain to pick things like medicinal herbs, you have indeed accumulated a certain amount of experience in going up the mountain.

However, there are many ways to navigate the mountains! Some game can be enjoyed with confidence, but others should be avoided.

The same goes for wild fruits. Some are sweet and delicious, while others may contain toxins. The consequences of accidentally eating them can be disastrous!

So, for safety's sake, you should just follow us today."

After saying this, the captain's aunt did not forget to pat the back of the little girl's hand affectionately, her eyes full of care.

After showing kindness to his daughter-in-law, he said to his companions:

"Come on, girls! Come on, come on and walk with us.

Let's talk about the things we need to pay attention to on this mountain.

For example, some things can be touched, but some should never be touched; another example is which places are safer, while which places are full of dangers, etc.

Don't worry, as for the young men over there, just follow their captain.

Today, your captain and I will lead everyone to get familiar with this mountain.

Of course, if you don’t want someone to accompany you all the time and think that this may affect your ability to find more delicious game, that’s okay too.

Tomorrow, when you have a better understanding of the mountain, you can go up and explore it yourself.

However, I must solemnly remind you:

Never act alone!

If something unexpected happens and there's no one to tip off the main force, the consequences will be disastrous! So you must remember this!"

After hearing the captain's aunt's heartfelt advice and concern, Lin Sitian was moved, but her heart was also slightly filled with a sour feeling.

I don’t know if this feeling is because the captain’s aunt’s attitude towards me reminds me of the feeling of the director of an orphanage in the 21st century when she had the same worry about me when I went to college.

This reminded me of the dean's mother, which is why my heart was filled with bitterness.

But after the sourness, Lin Sitian's heart was filled with sweetness, and she happily took the captain's aunt's hand.

She thanked the captain's aunt sweetly:

"Okay, thank you, Captain Auntie. We girls will follow you and try to steal the mountain products you see!"

The captain's aunt heard the little girl's playful words and looked at the hand that was holding hers. She smiled and patted the hand that was holding hers, pretending to be helpless but doting:

"What are you talking about? You're still trying to steal the mountain products I saw. There are so many mountain products on the mountain. If you can afford to put them in your own backpack, just put them in your own basket. What are you talking about stealing or not? If you want me to, I'll give you all mine."

Upon hearing this, the female educated youth who were standing by and listening to their conversation all burst into laughter, their laughter full of teasing and happiness for Lin Sitian.

Lin Sitian was infected by the laughter and started laughing silently. The captain's aunt looked at the little girl's sweet smile and didn't say anything. She just looked at the sweet smile quietly.

In this way, everyone waited quietly for the captain's order so that they could go up the mountain to collect the mountain products they had been longing for for a long time.
