The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

After wandering around the village for a long time, she found a neighbor who was willing to sell adobe bricks. Old Mrs. Zhou greeted him and agreed to come over tomorrow to pick him up.

As soon as they left, the news spread.

The Zhou family was making adobe bricks by the river some time ago, thinking they were going to save them for future use. But who knew they wanted to use them now and went to the village to buy them.

I don't know what fortune he made, but he's planning to build a new house?!

On second thought, the eldest grandson Zhou Mingzhi will be sixteen years old after this year, so isn't it time for him to get married? Some caring neighbors suppressed these thoughts in their hearts and decided to wait and see.

"Boss, Boss." Old Mrs. Zhou started calling people as soon as she returned to the yard.

"Mom, what's wrong?" He was busy cleaning the warehouse.

"We've bought the adobe bricks. Let's go to the backyard and see where to build the donkey shed, chicken shed, and duck shed together. We'll have sheep in two months, so let's build the sheep shed as well to save the trouble of adding more later."

"Grandma, there is also a rabbit shed." Zhou Mingyuan interrupted with a broom.

"Hahaha, okay, let's build one for the rabbit too."

If you count carefully, there are at least five small empty spaces.

Boss Zhou carried a shovel to the backyard and planned the place with Old Lady Zhou.

Their house is on the east side, and in order to avoid the noise of the livestock, they can only arrange them on the west side. But they cannot be too close to the west, in case a thief breaks into the house, they will not be able to hear anything.

So they reached a consensus and built along the main house towards the west, leaving more space in the middle, and then built a storage shed to store things.

"After we set up these sheds, we'll go buy a donkey." Old Mrs. Zhou was also eager to buy a donkey.

"It's not that easy. It can be built in a whole day. I'll call a few more people over tomorrow."

Boss Zhou laughed and went to collect bamboo from home. If it was not enough, they would go to the mountain to cut some.

Today's schedule was very tight. Boss Zhou organized the necessary materials and immediately called his sons to prepare everything and go up the mountain.

These bamboos are not enough to build six sheds, more or less half of them are missing.

"Dad, are we not going to make adobe bricks anymore?" Zhou Mingzhi asked.

"Yeah, you want to make adobe bricks?" Boss Zhou asked back.

"No, no, no... I'm just asking." Zhou Mingzhi was shocked. Who would want to make such heavy bricks in such a hot day?

"Yes, your grandmother has already bought some adobe bricks. They are not expensive, but they are troublesome. When the weather gets cooler, we can store more of them. The most important thing for us now is to cut more bamboos. Then, when there are more people around, we can put away the roof together."

"Yeah." Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie both followed. Zhou Mingyuan was too young to carry such heavy bamboo, so he had to follow his aunt and younger sister to dig wild vegetables.

Old Mrs. Zhou and her second daughter-in-law were shoveling the grass on the ground in the backyard, digging and padding the uneven places.

"Mom, it's a good thing to have a few sheds at home. Should we buy some firecrackers and set them off?" Zhu suggested.

"It's really great news. I'll tell the third brother when he comes back, and we'll be there to hear the news."

Everyone in the family was busy, and Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi were no exception. They were steaming mugwort, mint and other things in the pot. They had already steamed two pots, and there was one more pot left, which would be finished soon.

Boss Zhou was in charge of chopping the logs, while Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie carried the logs home. Although they were small boys with great strength, they could only carry two logs at a time.

That afternoon, the three of them cut down twenty or thirty trees.

Boss Zhou carried the load himself for the last time, and this is far from enough, so he will come again after dinner.

Like at noon, the three people jumped into the river to take a bath and cool off, but this time they tied their hair up.

The villagers who were returning from the fields passed by here and talked to them with a smile. Boss Zhou happened to invite people to come over to help.

"When?"

"It's the day after tomorrow morning, it's cooler early, I'll invite more people, we can get the roof covered in half a day, and have lunch at my house."

"Okay, I'll come over then."

"Okay, count me in."

After a while, Boss Zhou called five people.

I'll call a few more people tomorrow, there's strength in numbers, he thought as he went to the fish basket. He had been busy all day and hadn't come to see if there were any fish.

Before the people arrived, the water stirred up by their footsteps scared the things in the fish basket.

"bingo!"

Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie were playing in the water. When they heard their father calling, they stopped what they were doing and walked over here.

Boss Zhou pulled up the fish basket and saw that there was a big fish in it!

"Damn! It's such a big grass carp. I'm rich!"

After opening the fish basket, Boss Zhou grabbed the fish's gills and pulled it out. Seeing some scars on the fish's body, he realized that he was too late. The fish must have been trapped in the basket for a long time.

"This fish is so big." Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie stopped soaking in the water and touched the fish in Boss Zhou's hand.

Continuing to look at the fish basket, there were some large and small sheep dung snails and some cow eggs in it. Some fish fry as big as little fingers were all released, and Boss Zhou sank the fish basket again.

Carrying a big fish weighing five or six kilograms home immediately alarmed Old Mrs. Zhou.

"Oh my god, how can it be so big and still alive? Put it in the basin first."

Old Mrs. Zhou threw away the dirty water she used to wash her hands and replaced it with clear well water.

However, the grass carp struggled so hard that it fell to the ground as soon as I let go, rolling in mud.

Old Mrs. Zhou was so disgusted that she didn't want the fish anymore. She picked up the fish again, washed it in the basin and threw it into the bucket. This way, it wouldn't run out again.

"Grandma, this fish is so big, how are we going to eat it?" Zhou Mingjie asked after licking his saliva.

"You little foodie only cares about eating. We are going to build a shed, so we can give this fish to the people who come to help. This way we don't have to buy meat."

After hearing what Old Lady Zhou said, the two brothers had to give up. It was a pity that they couldn't eat such a big fish.

As soon as Zhou Mingqi got home, he handed over the 400 copper coins he had just earned that day. Old Mrs. Zhou was so happy holding the purse in her hand.

"Oh, my San Ya is so capable. Tomorrow we will go buy some adobe bricks, build the donkey shed, and then go to the street to buy a donkey." As soon as Mrs. Zhou told her plan, Zhou Mingshu applauded.

"Grandma, now that you have made the decision, buy it back quickly. What if such a suitable little donkey is bought by someone else?" Zhou Mingshu couldn't help but worry. Good things don't wait for anyone.

"It's only been a few days, it won't be that fast. Not every household in Jinmiao Town needs to buy a donkey. The trading of cattle, donkeys and sheep depends on luck. It's only these two days, there's no rush..."

Zhou Mingshu didn't understand, but she couldn't convince her grandmother, so she had to let her do what she wanted.
