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

They didn't know Schisandra chinensis and naturally didn't know how to prepare it, so the rest of the preparation work was done by Zhou Mingshu.

After staying in the mountain for such a long time, everyone was extremely hot. After packing up their things, they went to the well to wash up.

Old Mrs. Zhou didn't go anywhere else, and there was nothing important to do. After finishing her housework, she went to the big willow tree at the entrance of the village to chat with her neighbors.

Everyone has been busy these days and has no time to talk about other people's gossip, but the things happening in Wang Laizi's family are so exciting that even if they don't go out, they can hear some rumors.

Ever since the child died, his wife has been making a fuss three times a day, bothering her son, her daughter-in-law, and her old man.

The neighbors next door couldn't stand it anymore, but they couldn't try to persuade her and could only watch her family make a fool of themselves.

Wang Dahai did not go to the fields to harvest wheat in the past two days. All the wheat from other families had been harvested home, and only his family's wheat was still growing in the fields, and the wheat ears were about to rot.

His old man really couldn't stand it anymore, so he beat his wife with a stick. Then she became obedient and followed him to the field to harvest wheat.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou was speechless and didn't want to listen any more.

When I got home and told my three daughters-in-law about this, they all felt a little sad.

"What do you think happened? How could this old woman in his family still be so ignorant at such an old age? She didn't know before the baby was lost, and now after it was accidentally lost, the daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but she started crying, making a scene, and even hanging herself. If you don't know, you would think she had a miscarriage."

"That's right. You are so confused even at your age. You really don't know how to manage a household. No wonder you can't even manage your own son."

"Other families are about to plant their seeds in the fields, but their wheat harvest has not yet been completed. Can their wheat harvest still be completed?"

"We don't care about them."

They are not from the same clan, and even their surnames are not related.

They were still talking about these things in the room while preparing lunch.

Zhou Mingqin led them to wash the garlic leaves one by one. After washing and drying them, she asked her grandmother to make pickles.

The wild garlic picked from the mountains is made into pickles, which are sweet and sour and delicious, and are perfect when mixed with rice.

"Sisters, let's wash some of the strawberries. We can make some strawberry jam when we have time. We can't eat all of these strawberries."

"Yeah, I think it's okay. If you make it into jam, it won't go bad. You can save it and eat it slowly later."

Zhou Mingqi agreed with this idea very much. In fact, she heard San Ya discussing this matter with her grandmother yesterday.

They were washing things in the basket, and from time to time a group of ducks swam by in front of them.

"Hey, they recognized us."

"Yes, it's quite spiritual."

The duck has grown for a month and its size has doubled. Its body is now covered with white duck feathers, and it looks completely different from when it first came.

Now that the weather is hot, we drive them out of the house early in the morning.

If you want to eat something, just find it yourself. If you want to drink water, there is a river behind the house, so just find it yourself.

There are fish, shrimps and snails in the river. They can eat whatever they want. These little ducks live a more carefree life than the little chickens.

They left with the baskets, and the ducks thought they were looking for them, so they followed them in a line and went home with them.

"Why are they back? Chase them away. If nothing else, they can come back in the afternoon. They quack in the duck pen every day, making a lot of noise."

Old Mrs. Zhou was unhappy with the noise and drove the ducks out again.

The ducks lingered at the door for a while, then turned and left.

"When grandma chased them away, they all became stupid, hahaha."

They spread the washed garlic leaves out on the eaves to dry, then poured in some wild strawberries and continued washing them.

Before they finished washing, a guest came to the door.

"Oh, Miss Zhou, you are at home. You came just in time." Doctor Shen jumped off his horse, sweating all over.

"Doctor Shen, why are you here at this time? Is it time for lunch? Lunch is just ready at home. Let's sit down and eat first."

Zhou Mingshu wiped his hands and hurried over.

Doctor Shen came over at this time, he must have come to order mugwort ointment, the 200 bottles ordered before must have been sold out.

"Thank you, Miss Zhou. I came here as soon as I finished my work in the shop. I'm really sorry to bother you. If I asked the shop assistants to come here, I would be a little worried."

Doctor Shen sat down and drank two sips of tea to calm down and suppress the heat in his heart.

If I had known, I should have ordered more mugwort paste last time.

These two hundred bottles are not enough to sell! I feel a little regretful.

"Haha, Doctor Shen, don't worry, we have some ready-made at home, you can take some first."

When Brother Zhou saw someone coming to visit, he put down his work and went home to entertain the guest.

The visitor was about the same age as his father, so it was not difficult to communicate with him.

Speaking of which, he also asked Doctor Shen to take Feng's pulse. It's free, so it would be a waste if you don't use it.

Both the mother and the baby are in good condition. I just asked Mrs. Feng to move around more often so that the delivery will be smoother.

Feng wrote them all down.

The Zhou family’s lunch was very simple, with some stir-fried vegetables. The best dish was made with a few eggs. If Dr. Shen hadn’t come, the eggs might not have been added.

"Doctor Shen, please don't be polite. There's nothing good at home. You must eat enough."

Old Mrs. Zhou advised him to eat more.

"If I had known he was coming today, I would have killed a chicken to entertain him."

After all, he is a big customer of our family, so it is not a bad thing to get along well with him.

"Oh, you're so polite. Don't worry, big sister. I won't be shy. When I first met Mingshu, I liked this girl very much. I always treated her like my own granddaughter."

Doctor Shen was entertained by the adults in his family, so Zhou Mingshu didn't need to say much and just ate.

After climbing up and down the mountain today, the little food she had in the morning had long been digested and she was starving.

After lunch, Zhou Mingshu asked Dr. Shen how many bottles of mugwort ointment he wanted this time.

"I want 500 bottles this time. Buffalo Town and Jinmiao Town are far apart, and it's not easy to travel back and forth. This time I brought a deposit of 500 bottles."

As Doctor Shen spoke, he took off the purse hanging on his waist and took out one or two taels of silver from it.

The deposit for five hundred bottles of mugwort ointment was indeed one or two taels of silver.

But if you want to take away the spot, this is far from enough.

"Girl, how about this? Let's change the contract. I'll take the things first this time. I have a fine jade pendant here that I'll leave as a deposit with you. I'll have someone send the money to you in a couple of days, and then I'll take the jade pendant away. Is that ok?"

"It's OK, Doctor Shen. We still have some trust in you. I'll go count out 500 bottles for you right now. Please sit down and have some tea first."

As soon as Zhou Mingshu left, Old Mrs. Zhou came with a bunch of red fruits.
