At around nine o'clock, a private car slowly drove into Qinghe Village.

Although Qinghe Village is located in a remote place, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. A clear river flows slowly in front of the village, gurgling loudly.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, everything is revived, and the breath of spring is everywhere, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Miao Juan lowered the window, took a deep breath of fresh mountain air, and sighed with a smile: "It's so comfortable. The air in the mountains is so good. Even if the strawberries are not delicious, our trip was not in vain."

The surroundings are filled with fresh green air, and a mountain breeze blows in your face. In an instant, you can throw away all your worries and melancholy and calm down to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Xu Lei and Miao Juan are usually busy with work and have little time to spend with their children.

This time I heard that there is a strawberry garden in the village here in Qianfeng Town, where you can go and pick, so I took the children to play there on the weekend.

Let children get in touch with nature and experience rural life.

Xu Lei drove all the way to Qinghe Village according to the positioning information in the group.

When passing the village entrance, I saw an old man sitting on the slope of the roadside with his eyes squinted, basking in the sun leisurely.

There were two calves grazing slowly next to them.

Xu Lei lowered the window and asked the old man with a smile, "Uncle, I heard that a family in Qinghe Village grew strawberries. Is this where they are?"

The old man was old and a little deaf. He stood up, patted his butt, yawned and walked to the car and asked, "What did you say?"

Xu Lei asked again patiently.

"Yes, yes, this is our village." Only then did the old man hear it clearly. He raised his finger and pointed not far away with a smile, "You just keep going forward along that road, don't turn around, just go to the foot of the mountain."

Xu Lei smiled and said thank you. The two children sitting in the back seat of the car also showed sweet smiles at their mother's signal and said thank you crisply, "Thank you, grandpa."

The old man smiled even more heartily, "Hey, the little baby is so good."

Xu Lei started the car and drove away slowly.

After walking for a while, Xu Lei accidentally looked through the rearview mirror and saw the old man still standing there watching them.

The old man's hunched figure reminded him of his elderly grandparents.

I am usually busy with work and spend time with my children on weekends. It has been a long time since I visited an elderly person.

Xu Lei suddenly said, "Let's go back early today and take the children to grandpa's house for dinner in the evening."

Miao Juan smiled and said she had no objection, "Okay, let's pick more strawberries later and bring some over for them to try."

While talking, the car drove to the foot of the mountain.

What you see is a green fence. Wild roses are planted around the fence. Climbing vines are climbing on the fence. They are as tall as half a person. The branches are lush and lush. You can vaguely see a few unbloomed vines on the green branches.

Small flower bones.

The car was bumpy all the way, but the two children were very happy. When the car stopped, they couldn't wait to jump out of the car.

The little girl grabbed Miao Juan's hand and asked in a sweet voice, "Mom, where are the delicious strawberries?"

The elder brother pointed to the sheep not far away and jumped up and down excitedly, "Wow, there are so many lambs."

Shen Qiuqiu was already waiting for them. When she heard the sound of the car, she came out with a smile.

Miao Juan recognized her at a glance, "Oh, our most beautiful farmer in Tianshui is even more beautiful in person than in the photo."

Shen Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed by her praise, she pursed her lips and smiled, and invited them into the strawberry garden.

The strawberry garden is full of green, dotted with small white flowers. Under the green leaves are bright red fruits, which are delicate and attractive, and the air is filled with a strong aroma of strawberries.

When Manman saw the strawberries here, his eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, there are so many strawberries, Mom, Manman wants to eat them..."

Miao Juan knelt down and coaxed her daughter, "You have to take it home and wash it before eating it, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"No... I want to eat it now." Manman pouted, looking very aggrieved.

"This is washed and ready to eat." Shen Qiuqiu smiled and handed over a small bamboo basket, which contained a basket full of small strawberries.

The freshly washed strawberries still have water droplets on them, and they look particularly red and attractive under the sunlight.

The small fruits are not worth much, but they taste very good. Shen Qiuqiu just picked some and now they are giving them to the guests to try.

Looking at the ruby-like strawberries in the bamboo basket, I was so greedy that my mouth watered.

She raised her head to look at her mother, her big eyes flickering, as if asking, can I eat it?

"Little greedy cat." Miao Juan couldn't help but smile, and raised her hand to scratch her daughter's nose, "Before eating, what should you tell your sister?"

The little girl rolled her eyes, turned to look at Shen Qiuqiu, and said sweetly, "Thank you, sister!"

Who wouldn’t like a cute and soft little girl?

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help but raise her hand and touch the little knot on her head, and said with a smile, "You're welcome."

Only then did Manman use his fleshy little paws to take a small strawberry from the basket and stuff it into his mouth eagerly.

"It's delicious!" Manman squinted his eyes and exclaimed: "Mom, the strawberries are sweet and so delicious."

Shen Qiuqiu handed the bamboo basket to Miao Juan, "These are free to taste, you can try them too."

Miao Juan thanked her, picked up a strawberry and took a bite, her eyes instantly lit up.

This strawberry tasted much better than the ones she bought in the supermarket before. The fruity flavor was particularly strong, sweet and sour, and the aroma of strawberry filled her mouth.

"It's delicious. This is the taste of strawberries in my memory... I haven't eaten such delicious strawberries in a long time."

Xu Lei also echoed, "Yeah, it's indeed much more delicious than what you bought in the supermarket before."

Shen Qiuqiu explained with a smile, "In a purely natural environment, with a suitable climate, sufficient light, and open-air growth, naturally mature strawberries will indeed taste better."

Miao Juan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Before I came here, I heard that the strawberries here cost 35 per catty. I thought it was a bit expensive, but you really get what you pay for. It's worth every penny and not expensive at all."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled, handed a few plastic picking baskets to them, and warned, "Pay attention to the children when picking, don't damage the fruit seedlings, and don't pick underripe fruits.

Don’t eat strawberries that have not been washed, as they can cause diarrhea.”

After saying that, he pointed to the bamboo shed at the door and said, "There is water and washed strawberries prepared there. If you are tired, you can go over and rest for a while. You can eat as many strawberries as you want on the table."

Miao Juan took the picking basket and thanked her with a smile, "Okay, thank you."
