Chapter 329: 107: Beautiful rose wall, have Western food together_2
The game console had a black and white display screen, containing games like Tetris, pinball, shooting, racing, and tank fighting.
Goudan was a smart kid, he figured out how to operate it after just a few tries.
“Dabao, thank you! I really like this game console!” Goudan carefully put the game console into his pocket.
Yang Guobao replied with a laugh, “We are good buddies, Goudan, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”
Since it was a gift from Yang Guobao, Ni Yang naturally did not refuse. She touched Yang Guobao’s head and said, “Guobao, thank you!”
Yang Guobao said, “Sister Ni Yang, you should call me Dabao!” After all, he and Goudan, were both men of the ‘Dog’ generation!
Ni Yang chuckled, “Okay, okay, Dabao, Dabao.”
Yang Guobao then asked, “Sister Ni Yang, where are you going?”
Ni Yang replied, “I thought of taking a walk on the mountain. Oh, Goudan, do you know where there are wild roses on the hill?”
Having grown up here, Goudan knew the environment of the mountain much better than Ni Yang.
Hearing this, Goudan scratched his head in confusion, “Wild rose? What is a wild rose?”
Ni Yang thought for a moment, then said, “It’s Spiked Mallow. Do you know where the Spiked Mallow is on the mountain?”
Spiked Mallow is another name for Wild Rose.
In the countryside, Wild Roses are called by this name.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Spiked Mallow, Goudan understood immediately.
“Oh, Sister Ni Yang, you mean Spiked Mallow! I know where it is, I’ll take you there, but the Spiked Mallow is not blooming now, Sister Ni Yang, why do you want Spiked Mallow?”
Ni Yang explained with a smile, “I want to dig up the Spiked Mallow to build a rose wall.”
Yang Guobao followed behind saying, “Sister Ni Yang, Goudan, I’ll go with you.”
“Sure,” Ni Yang nodded.
The three of them, one adult and two kids, walked towards the mountain with cheerful steps.
It was April, the snow had melted, tender green grass was quietly poking out of the ground, the clear call of birds echoed through the woods, giving a sense of vibrant life.
“Wow! What bird is that!”
“Is that a Phoenix?”
It was Yang Guobao’s first time in the mountains, and he found everything exciting.
Ni Yang explained with a smile, “That is a Golden Pheasant.”
Yang Guobao then said, “Let’s catch a Golden Pheasant to play with?”
Goudan immediately stopped Yang Guobao’s dangerous idea, “No, no, the Golden Pheasant is a national second-class protected animal, it’s punishable by imprisonment to catch it!”
The villagers of Jinghua Village were especially conscious of protecting wildlife, no one in the village poached wild animals covertly.
Hearing this, Yang Guobao had to abandon the idea.
After a while, Goudan led Ni Yang to a large bush, “Sister Ni Yang, this is the Spiked Mallow bush.”
Ni Yang grabbed a small hoe and began to dig out the wild roses.
As Goudan and Yang Guobao didn’t have any tools to help, the two boys decided to play somewhere else.
In no time, Ni Yang had dug up a full box of wild rose seedlings.
At this moment, Yang Guobao and Goudan came running happily, each holding two plants that resembled an orchid, “Sister Ni Yang, look, we found Orchids!”
“Sister Ni Yang, we’ll give them to you for planting.”
“Thank you.” Ni Yang reached out to take them, thinking of planting them in her yard.
Goudan then said, “Sister Ni Yang, let me carry the box for you.”
The box Ni Yang was carrying was full of wild rose seedlings, it looked very heavy. With him, a sturdy young boy around, how could they let a girl do such heavy work!
Ni Yang grinned, “No need, Goudan, you still need to grow taller. If you carry something so heavy, be careful, you might end up not growing tall.”
Goudan insisted, “Sister Ni Yang, it’s really okay, I’m very strong!”
He had often done hard work at home.
Ni Yang reached out and gave Goudan’s head a rub, “Sister Ni Yang knows you’re strong. But we’re going downhill now, it’s dangerous for a child to carry so much. I can do it myself. You and Dabao can walk ahead and lead the way. Consider it as being Sister Ni Yang’s little flower protectors.”
Upon hearing this, Goudan relented and walked upfront with Yang Guobao, each holding a stick, acting as Sister Ni Yang’s flower protectors.
Once they arrived home, Ni Yang began to plant the wild roses.
Yang Guobao and Goudan also helped with their little hoes.
Goudan, who grew up in the village, was as efficient at the work as an adult, while Yang Guobao, having grown up in the city, was a bit clumsy with manual work.
