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

"Grandma, what's wrong with the fish in the bucket? Shouldn't we kill and eat them?" Zhou Mingshu saw that the fish was still there, so he decided to let her show off her cooking skills.

"Since it's still alive, we didn't kill it. We'll start construction the day after tomorrow. We can use this fish to make a dish and entertain the uncles who come to help."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Okay, my family will definitely be busy by then, so will Dad and Uncle go to work or help at home?"

"The family is so busy, so we won't let them go to work. Your uncle is going to the town to buy firecrackers tomorrow. I asked him to tell Mr. Chen to wait until the wheat is harvested before going. The family will be busy soon."

Zhou Mingshu calculated the time and felt that his grandmother's arrangement was okay, so he nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi filtered out the dregs together.

"Sana, grandma said you negotiated another big deal, is that true?"

Zhou Mingqi chatted with his sister while squeezing the bag of dregs in his hand.

"Yes, it's true that we have made a deal, but the quantity they want is not that large. But it's a good thing. When more and more people know about our ointment, more people will definitely come to buy it."

Zhou Mingshu placed the filtered residue in a basin, then took out another ball and continued squeezing it.

"Yes, that's true. But I think that no matter how much they want, it's a recognition of our wormwood ointment. This feeling is really pleasing."

Zhou Mingqi laughed heartily.

"Of course, this kind of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment cannot be replaced by any happy things." Zhou Mingshu said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, starting from tomorrow, I don't have to go to town. I will go after the wheat harvest."

"Wow, really? That's great. I have nothing to do when you're not at home. Let's go to the mountains tomorrow. The flowers in my room have all withered, and I want to pick some new ones."

"Hahaha, okay, but we have to finish making these ointments first."

"Haha, of course. This is the first big event for our family. Let me tell you, we sold 600 kilograms of rice today. After deducting the tax and the one bag we kept, we only got three taels of silver. Alas, this is what our family worked hard for half a year to get."

Zhou Mingqi's little face was full of worry. If his family relied on this money, they would not be able to have enough food and clothes, let alone pay off the debts owed to other families.

"Yeah, don't be too sad, second sister, don't worry, you are a blessed person. In the future, I will definitely take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and I will also take you to wear beautiful clothes and wear beautiful flowers." Zhou Mingshu said with a smile.

"You have a sweet mouth, so I'll borrow your good words. Hehe, but now you're almost going to make it, except for the flower on your head. Look at what we've eaten and drunk these days, which one wasn't brought by you? Even the new clothes we've made are all thanks to you."

"Haha, the situation at home is better than before, so we can say it has been achieved, but we can't just be satisfied with this, we have to work harder. There is a line in a poem that goes like this, 'If you want to see a thousand miles away, you have to climb to a higher floor.' One of the meanings is that if you want to see more beautiful scenery, you have to climb to a higher floor."

"What's the other meaning?" Zhou Mingqi asked.

"Another meaning is that if you want to achieve greater success, you have to work harder," Zhou Mingshu explained.

"Well, Sanya, I understand. I will work hard in the future and will definitely reach a higher level. The same goes for you. Let's make a pinky promise."

Zhou Mingqi's expression became unusually serious, and his childish face looked like that of a little adult.

The two sisters stretched out their green fingers and hooked them together, "Let's make a pinky promise and never change it for a hundred years." The two childish voices mixed together, creating the most beautiful sound of the evening.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Old Mrs. Zhou got up, called her youngest son, and asked him to go to the street to buy firecrackers. She also told Mr. Chen that San Ya could not go for the time being.

Without waiting for Zhou Laosan to leave, she remembered what San Ya had asked her to do last night, and told her to take the existing mugwort paste at home with her, and also to order a batch of porcelain bottles.

She quickly reminded her son that this matter was of the utmost importance and he must not forget it.

Zhou Laosan put on a straw hat and stood up, carrying only a bamboo tube with him. He was not going to work anyway, so he could have breakfast after the trip.

The porridge cooked by Lao Zhou's family today, served with a dish of chopped sauerkraut and a dish of pickled vegetables, was quite delicious.

Zhou Mingshu and his eldest and second sisters were busy in the house bottling the mugwort paste, while the others went outside to work.

Old Mrs. Zhou brought her son and daughter-in-law, borrowed the village chief's ox cart, and went door to door to buy adobe bricks. They could buy ten bricks for one penny, which was a very good deal for the Zhou family.

After working for a whole morning, they brought back four ox carts of adobe bricks, totaling eight hundred bricks.

"Mom, it's almost done. With what we've done, it should be at least 900 yuan. We're just building a few walls and making a roof out of bamboo and straw, so it won't cost much."

Old Mrs. Zhou measured it and felt it was almost enough. If she built it next to the courtyard wall, she could save a lot.

"Okay, then buy these first, and then go get some more this afternoon, just in case."

After responding, Boss Zhou took the village chief's cow out. He wanted to feed the cow before returning it.

"Second brother, I feel uneasy about building it directly like this. What if a thief comes and breaks open our wall?"

Old Mrs. Zhou's worries are not without reason. Anyone who has some livestock will keep one eye open and one eye closed when sleeping, for fear that they will be stolen by thieves if they are not careful.

"Let's build it first. Once the shed is built, we'll add a thicker layer inside. Take your time. There's no rush. I don't believe that the livestock I just bought will be stolen before it can last overnight."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Go and invite some people. Your eldest brother invited a few people yesterday. Go again and invite more people to come. We'll provide lunch for them and stew fish for them tomorrow."

"Okay, that's easy. I'll call all my brothers over."

Zhou Laosan has a lot of playmates, seven or eight at random, and they are all the kind who are willing to go through fire and water for their brothers.

"Since the third brother is here, I don't need to invite them. I'm afraid all the food bowls will be destroyed by them tomorrow." Zhou Laoer laughed.

Old Mrs. Zhou also agreed with this statement and ignored them.

After two days, there were a lot of loofahs in the vegetable garden. Old Mrs. Zhou took a basket and picked half of it.

The taste of this loofah is quite good. She was looking forward to lunch and couldn't help thinking, this bird is really good at pooping, it just happened to poop in her own vegetable garden. This loofah also happened to look like a cucumber. If it didn't, it would definitely not grow up and she would have removed it as a weed.

Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua caught a few grasshoppers in the grass and let them crawl back and forth on their arms.

The feeling of these little guys stepping on their skin felt very novel to them, and they played happily by playing with the grass stems and teasing them to crawl back and forth.
