The wheat in the fields is heading and will be ready for harvest in a month or so.

If we clear the land now, we can plant things when the solar terms come.

"Minghua, take the basket and go dig some wild vegetables. I'll go to the toilet first."

Zhou Mingshu asked Minghua to go first, and she sneaked into the main house, spent 5 points in the mall to exchange for a pound of corn and put it in the rice bag.

As soon as my aunt left, my grandmother took some corn to cook. I guess she didn't know how much was left in the cloth bag.

Originally, she only had 4 points in the mall, so she had to exchange the copper coins she had previously exchanged for points before she successfully exchanged them for corn. She hoped that everyone could eat more.

It's not right to always eat wild vegetable porridge.

But what reason does she have to make money?

This requires careful consideration.

"Si Ya has already gone, why haven't you gone yet?" Old Mrs. Zhou came out with a ladle to scoop water.

"I'm going to the toilet right away." Zhou Mingshu ran away.

Since she couldn't make money honestly, she might as well earn more points first.

There are a lot of snails in the water. You can earn dozens or even hundreds of points in an afternoon. It is relatively easy to do.

Ming Hua had already dug up several wild vegetables and was squatting quietly in the grass. If you didn't look carefully, you would not be able to find her.

"Minghua, you pick some wild vegetables here first, and I'll go find some snails."

At this time, many villagers are carrying hoes to go to the fields. There will be no one on the road, so there is no need to look up and say hello frequently.

She took off her straw sandals and went into the water.

The water was very cold in the morning, and after a while, she couldn't hold on any longer and had to climb out.

Half of my legs are numb. I have to say that the cold spring on this mountain is really refreshing.

After picking up four or five piles of snails, she exchanged three of them for points, a total of five kilograms, for a total of 20 points.

Now I have ten buns. Just by moving my hands, my stomach can be filled.

So, she spent 2 points to exchange for a vegetarian bun, and ate it in two bites.

Ming Hua heard the noise and looked up, but didn't see anything, so she continued to dig wild vegetables with the small shovel.

I really want to share these delicious buns with my family, but I can’t do that now.

She put the snails into the basket, took the shovel from Minghua's hand and started digging wild vegetables, letting her play nearby.

The basket is full and breakfast is ready at home.

Old Mrs. Zhou shouted for help.

Boss Zhou came back carrying a hoe and bringing the children and the three daughters-in-law of the Zhou family.

The second and third sons went to the town early in the morning to carry heavy bags, so they didn't have to eat at home.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Just now, Silly Woman brought some corn. I added some corn to the wild vegetable porridge."

Talking about this, Mrs. Zhou's face was full of smiles. As the head of the family, she definitely wanted the children in the family to have enough to eat.

"This is all thanks to my third sister, otherwise I don't know when I can eat corn." Zhou Mingjie wiped his face and smiled.

"I told you not to talk nonsense." Uncle Zhou kicked Zhou Mingjie right in the butt.

"Dad, why did you kick me? What I said was wrong." Zhou Mingjie frowned.

"It's not a good thing to get bumped into something." Uncle Zhou wiped his hands and went to the kitchen to get the bowls.

"Hurry up and eat, there is still a lot of work to do in the fields." The second and third sons went to the town, and the family was missing two capable helpers. The heavy work fell on him and his two sons.

The family can't even get enough to eat, let alone repay the foreign debt. When he thought about this, Boss Zhou frowned. After the autumn harvest, the weather will be cold, and there won't even be a quilt at home. These are all urgent things that need to be taken care of.

"Sanya, the snails in the basin are much cleaner now. Can we eat them today?"

Zhou Mingqi took a look at the snails in the basin, his face showing 50% happiness, 30% curiosity and 20% confusion.

"We'll eat it tonight. You and Big Sister should come back early in the afternoon. It'll be very busy to wash so many snails."

She just changed the water this morning and the water is still clear.

Several people had worked for the whole morning and now washed their hands and sat at the dining table to eat.

The wild vegetable porridge with corn porridge is much thicker than usual and tastes more fragrant.

"You're just standing there in a daze. Eat something quickly, or you'll have too little energy to work later." Zhu was furious as she looked at her slow-moving daughter in front of her.

I didn’t eat last night and now I don’t feel like eating. I’m really craving for it.

This was compensation for her injury. She didn't eat a single bite of it, and it all went into other people's stomachs. It was a huge loss.

Zhou Mingshu found a bench in the yard and sat down with his bowl in his hand.

The previous Zhou Mingshu could eat this thing, but the current Zhou Mingshu can’t.

She closed her eyes and imagined that the contents of the bowl were chocolates, and only then did she swallow two bites with difficulty.

The whole bowl of porridge was filled with a strange smell, so she gave up after eating two bites.

"Sister, you really don't want to eat?" Zhou Mingyuan ran out from the kitchen at some point and leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"You want to eat? Hurry up, don't let mom find out."

Zhou Mingshu stuffed the bowl into his arms and asked him to eat in the back of the house.

Zhou Mingyuan finished the food in the bowl in just a few bites and burped with satisfaction.

If he wasn't afraid that his sister would be too anxious, he would have licked the bowl clean, because his sister's bowl had the most corn.

After taking the clean bowl, Zhou Mingshu went into the kitchen to report.

Zhu looked at the empty bowl and smiled with satisfaction.

As long as you can eat, it's fine. If you keep wasting time like this, you will ruin your body sooner or later.

"Old Third, don't go to the fields for a while. Stay home and help me wash the clothes."

Old Mrs. Zhou was collecting the bowls while making arrangements.

"Okay, mother."

Feng stood up and helped Old Mrs. Zhou collect the chopsticks from the table.

After eating and drinking, the boss led a group of people to continue working in the fields.

The only ones left at home were Old Mrs. Zhou, a sick girl, and, oh, Aunt San.

Third Aunt is about four months pregnant. She can do some work, but it is not suitable for her to work for a long time.

What's more, the family's situation was not very good and the nutrition was not enough. Old Mrs. Zhou also took this into consideration. She usually kept her to help with the laundry and let her do the easiest work.

The two daughters-in-law had no objections. Everyone was eating from the same pot, and life was already hard enough, so everyone should work together.

Third Aunt took out the clothes from the dirty clothes basket. Every family took out a large pile, and my uncle's family even took out two piles.

Even a big wooden basin couldn’t hold them all. There was nothing we could do because the eldest family had the most children.

Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Minghua also helped pack the clothes.

She was holding two wooden basins, and Xiao Minghua followed behind her with two wooden mallets, walking slowly towards the river.

They lived at the end of the village, and there were not many people who needed water, so the villagers had no objection to their washing clothes.
