Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

359 Another Trip

She was stronger than him, so she would definitely be faster than him.

“We have to bring this back and let Yifu use his saw to cut it into pieces. If we cut it directly, not only will it split the bamboo tube, but the cut will also be uneven.” Jiang Yue said as she deftly plucked the bamboo leaves.

“Okay.” Glancing at the chopped bamboo on the ground, Xue Yan said, “What’s the thin stick that you said was stuck in the middle of the popsicle going to be? Bamboo or wood?”

“Both are fine. Since we’re here, we could chop some big and thick bamboo later and let Yifu make thin sticks. A thick bamboo could be made into many thin sticks. If it’s made from wood, then it won’t be easy to make a thin stick, but it’ll have to be made into wood chips. Those kinds of wood chips with curved ends are more troublesome than bamboo.”

“Then let’s use bamboo as well.”

“Yes.”

After removing the leaves and branches and cutting off the unnecessary joints, Jiang Yue went to cut an especially thick and tall bamboo. She removed the leaves and branches and threw them on the ground.

Xue Yan took the knife, went to the side, and cut some deep grass, then twisted the grass into a rope, and tied the bamboo that was used to make popsicles into two bundles,

There was no need to tie up the particularly thick and long bamboo.

Fortunately, there were only four or five sections of bamboo left for making popsicles. Even if there were five pieces in the bundle, Xue Yan could still carry them. He could hold one bundle with one hand, and could barely hold two bundles with two hands.

However, it was not appropriate for Jiang Yue to bring the huge bamboo back home. After all, Jiang Yue was only a little girl. If others saw her bringing such a long and thick bamboo back, they would all be shocked.

“How about this? Let’s take the bamboo that’s used to make popsicles back first. I’ll come back later to drag this long bamboo home.” Xue Yan said. As long as he didn’t reveal that something was wrong with her, he would make as many trips as he could.

Jiang Yue understood his intention and nodded.

“Sure.”

“You can take this.” Xue Yan gave her the knife.

Jiang Yue took it.

Then, Xue Yan picks up two bundles of bamboo to make popsicles. He was barely able to carry it and did not walk very fast.

In addition, Jiang Yue would help him carry it from time to time, so he didn’t over exert himself.

When they arrived at the door of their house, they didn’t ask their family to open the courtyard door for them to enter. After they placed the two bundles of bamboo and the woodcutter at the door of their house, they returned to the bamboo forest and went to pull the big bamboo.

The weight of this big bamboo was much heavier than the two bundles of bamboo that were used to make popsicles combined. It was really difficult for Xue Yan to drag it home.

Jiang Yue wanted to help, but she could not do so as she ran into the villagers from time to time. She could only follow Xue Yan and watch as he dragged the bamboo back home.

They had to walk and rest for a while, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to drag it.

It was not easy to drag it to the door, but before Xue Yan could catch his breath, Li Hehua heard the movement and opened the door from the inside.

“I told you that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are back. Xue Yan!”

Without waiting for Xue Yan’s reply, Li Hehua noticed the bamboo at the door, especially the big one. She immediately became anxious, “That’s so big. Did you guys bring this back? There are so many adults at home, why didn’t you ask us for help? What if you tripped?”

Hearing Li Hehua’s words, Xue Yifu, Liu Guixia, and Yu Hongyan rushed out of the courtyard. When they saw the huge bamboo at the entrance, they were all shocked.

For adults, it would be naturally effortless for them to bring it back, but their two precious children were so young that they would have been exhausted to death bringing it home.
