"It's okay, it's okay. I must do what my father asked me to do."

Wang Xiaodan picked a lot of grass from the lawn and pulled it around for fun.

"Father and elder brother are at home, so they don't need me. If I go, I will only make things worse."

"Hahaha, is that so? Then let's play here."

Wang Xiaodan played openly and did not go back until Zhou Mingshu had dinner.

"I'm going home. I'll play with you guys tomorrow."

"it is good."

Zhou Mingshu took the donkey to the river, let it drink some water, and then gave it a carrot.

After eating carrots, my breath feels fresher.

Zhou Mingshu took a handful of straw, dipped it in water, and scratched it all over its body, as if he was brushing its fur.

"Are you feeling better now? If you are, let's go home."

After the man and the donkey returned home, Zhou Mingshu tied the donkey to the donkey shed.

After washing my face, I went to the table to eat.

The person sitting next to her was Zhou Mingzhi, whom she poked with her elbow.

"Brother, Sister Xiaodan gave me some strawberries today..."

Zhou Mingshu's voice was very low, but it still scared Zhou Mingzhi.

He quickly raised his finger to his lips and made a 'shhh' gesture.

"Okay, okay, I understand even if you don't say it."

Zhou Mingshu smiled gossipyly and buried his face in his bowl.

The dinner was sumptuous but monotonous.

A big bowl of dumplings, a big bowl of fried beans with pork lard, and a little bit of stir-fried snails.

Judging from the quantity, it should have been eaten by family members.

"Sanya, the snails you made are delicious. They go really well with wine. My mouth is swollen from the spiciness. Haha."

The stove shed had been completed, and the three brothers sat down and had two drinks.

The more you eat this spicy snail, the more you add to it.

Although it is not very convenient to eat, if you want to eat it you have to poke it with a bamboo stick, but this is how you can drink slowly, and this is how you should drink.

"As long as it tastes good, I'll make it again if you want to eat it. If you think it's too spicy this time, I'll put less chili next time."

"Okay, let's talk about it next time. No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat it every day."

At this point, Zhou Mingshu recalled the bad words that were said at the threshing floor.

She didn't want to hide it, so she said some unpleasant things.

Uncle said not to bother with them, as the villagers just like to gossip when they have nothing to do.

If they make money in the future, they might protect it even more tightly than we do.

That's true. No matter where in the world, it is always the eunuchs who are anxious when the emperor is not.

At present, they will not do anything that will harm their own family, and there is no need to rush to argue about right and wrong.

After a full meal and a short rest, I started to boil water for a bath.

Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi covered the things they steamed in the afternoon with filter cloth and brought them into her room.

It gets in the way if you put it in a crowded place and it's easy to get bumped into. It would be bad if it spills.

Two large basins and a bucket.

It looks like a lot, but once all the dregs are filtered out, there are only about a thousand bottles left.

"San Ya, do we have enough porcelain bottles?"

There are indeed not many porcelain bottles left.

"It doesn't matter. If there isn't enough, don't bottle it yet. We can deal with the next thing after they deliver the porcelain bottles."

"Yeah, that's fine. You said earlier that you wanted to make soap. When are we going to do it?"

"How much lard do we have at home?"

"There seems to be half a can left."

"Okay, let's start tomorrow. There's nothing important to do at home anyway. Half a can of lard is enough to make a lot of things. You must study hard tomorrow. Once you learn it, this matter will depend on you. Maybe in a few days, I will go to Uncle Chen to learn."

Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi nodded. Doing these tasks was not tiring at all, and they were all done inside the house, which was cooler than outside. They were very happy to do it as it could bring some extra income to the family.

San Ya provides the brains, and they provide the strength.

They like this feeling of being needed.

After taking a shower, Zhou Mingshu lay on the bed and read novels. He was tired of reading comics, so he always wanted to change the style.

"Sanya, your uncle is going to the town to order a big pot tomorrow. Do you want to buy any?"

"Big pot? Grandma, are you talking about the big pot on the new stove?"

"Yes, that's it. I want to ask your uncle to order a larger one. It will be useful for steaming the ointment or making braised meat in the future."

"Yes, I'll order a large one. Can we order two small ones? We can get warm water next to the big stove, so we'll have hot water to use in the winter."

"Okay, I think this is great, and it can save firewood."

Old Mrs. Zhou thought her granddaughter's idea was a good one.

"What else do you want? We're going to plant seeds in a few days, so we'll have to be busy for a few more days."

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter's expression. There were too many things to do at home, and she, as an old woman, felt a little uncomfortable about delaying her from going to town to learn to read.

But Zhou Mingshu didn't notice it, he was still thinking about something, "That's it, if we really need to prepare something, then buy more mung beans, we can make more flour for later use."

"Okay, then buy some more green beans. I'll go back if there's nothing else. You go to bed early."

"Yeah, I get it, grandma."

After seeing off Old Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Mingshu took out the novel hidden under the quilt, which he had been reading with great interest.

It was not until night fell that she turned over and fell asleep.

When I got up the next day, Boss Zhou and his friends had not left yet.

Now that I have the little donkey, I don’t have to go out so early anymore.

"Uncle, I suddenly remembered something. When you are done, go to the porcelain shop and take a look. The porcelain bottles we ordered have not been delivered yet."

"Okay, I'll remember that. If it's ready, we'll bring it over. Do you still need to ask Mr. Chen if we should bring some for them?"

"This... forget it. They wanted a lot before, so they shouldn't have sold out yet. It doesn't matter if they're really gone. We're close, so they'll come get them."

"Okay, then we'll go."

With a slight wave of the donkey whip, the donkey pulled the cart slowly forward.

After seeing off Boss Zhou and his men, Zhou Mingshu set up his stall and filtered out the residue from the mugwort paste.

Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi did these tasks together, talking and laughing, so it wasn't boring.

"San Ya, what's in that porcelain jar of yours? Won't it drown if you just soak it in water?"

Zhou Mingqi was very curious about what kind of plant this was.

"Haha, no, this grows in water. It doesn't need to be planted in mud. It looks clean."

"That's right, you have some small fish in there, not bad, not bad, very good."

"You want to raise one too?"

It seems that she is very interested.

"No, I don't want to raise it at all. This little fish will die in two days in my hands. I just want to see how you raise it."

"Yeah, I heard someone say that if you look at the little fish in the water more often, their eyes will become more lively and look more lively."

"Really? Then I'll have to take a closer look, it'll stand out a lot."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhou Mingqi will always be number one when it comes to being funny.
