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

"Brother Zhou, are you taking your son into the mountains?"

"Sister Narcissus, why did you go into the mountains too? I just ran into your elder brother. What a coincidence. Why didn't you pick mushrooms with your elder brother? You can take care of each other."

Huang Shuixian was furious when she heard Boss Zhou mention her family's Wang Laizi, but she didn't show it. She just smiled gently, "Brother Zhou, you are joking. How can I be with him? He goes into the mountains to look for Ganoderma lucidum. He doesn't want to go into the mountains with me."

Boss Zhou chuckled twice and said yes.

Huang Shuixian wanted to say a few more words to him, but after he mentioned Wang Laizi, she lost interest and walked away with her butt twisted.

She originally wanted to let Wang Laizi go first and she would go back later, but she didn't expect to meet someone on the road.

Fortunately, the person I met on the road was Zhou Shouren. If it were those other gossiping women, I wonder what would have happened?

Talking to the two men took up a lot of his time. After they left, Boss Zhou took his son and quickly went up the mountain to cut trees.

Huang Shuixian passed by the door of old Zhou's house and took a look inside. Such a nice blue brick house is the only one in Lianglin Village. The family is a bit poor, but which of the three brothers of the Zhou family is not good-looking?

Especially Zhou Laosan, his face was famous in several nearby villages. I don’t know how many girls’ hearts he had won. But it was a pity that he was taken by the sickly Feng.

Huang Shuixian walked home angrily with the basket on her shoulder. Just as she arrived at the door of her house, before she could even open the gate, someone covered her mouth and dragged her into the woodshed.

After seeing who was coming, Huang Shuixian was furious. This guy must be a pig. The last time was not enough, and he came again?

"What are you doing? You're so scary."

Wang Laizi opened his mouth and rubbed against the person, "Before Xiao Hai comes back..."

……

The fir tree selected by Mr. Zhou is very straight. It would be perfect if he could cut it down and make boards at home.

"Son, you come first. Today, I will teach you how to chop down a tree."

What Boss Zhou said sounded nice, but in reality he was letting his son do the work first and he would take over later.

Zhou Mingzhi was not a fool. He smiled and asked him to sit aside and rest, while he swung the axe and went forward.

Boss Zhou was very happy. He watched his son work and ate some freshly picked wild fruits. He looked particularly leisurely.

The fir tree began to shake after being chopped for a while.

Boss Zhou patted the grass clippings in his palm and told his son to stay away and leave the rest to him.

Not long after, the fir tree fell to the ground. Boss Zhou cut off all the extra branches, and then he and his son dragged the trunk home.

"Let's come back in a few days, carry these branches home, dry them and cook for your grandma."

Boss Zhou threw the tree trunk on the wasteland outside the yard to dry it for a few days before making it into boards.

He didn't understand why San Ya wanted to write on a board. He only knew that literati wrote on paper.

But the family really doesn't have any extra money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and the family feels sorry for these studious children.

Boss Zhou sighed. In this regard, he should listen to the girl because she has a lot of clever ideas.

Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan also went home. They not only bought gypsum, but also some grains and eggs. Now that the situation at home has improved, they have to eat more good foods to replenish their bodies.

"Brother, you're back. I heard from San Ya that you went to chop wood. Do you need my and Lao San's help?"

"No need. Dazhi and I have already cut the wood back. You and Lao San are tired after a day's work. Just take a good rest."

As the two were talking, Boss Zhou fetched some water and prepared to wash. Not only had he been sweating from chopping trees, but he had also been bitten by several mosquitoes.

When the food was served, the yard was filled with the aroma of food.

No one knew when Zhou Mingyuan came back, and his face was as dirty as a little devil.

After a tiring day, everyone started eating seriously as soon as they sat down at the table.

Zhou Mingshu was eating the mushrooms on the plate. The food in his mouth was crunchy and delicious. He wondered how much better it would taste if some chili peppers were added.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at the corner of the wall, and sure enough, there was a hint of green.

After such a long time, the pepper seeds she sowed finally sprouted.

As long as the family members don't treat it as weeds and pull it out, these peppers will bear fruit soon.

Zhu loved her very much and kept putting food into her bowl. She could not even lift her face while eating.

Chalk is easy to make. She recalled what she had learned in her mind and planned to make one after dinner.

Dad bought a lot of plasters. As long as she could make one, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble in the future and could directly exchange it for the finished product in the system.

After dinner, she pulled Zhou Mingqi together, selected a suitable piece of bamboo, and fiddled with plaster in the room.

"Second sister, it's done. Isn't it simple? But it needs to be compacted to be durable. I'll use a wooden stick to press it down, and it will be ready when it's completely dry tomorrow."

Zhou Mingshu's little head once again refreshed Zhou Mingqi's cognition, and Zhou Mingqi was envious with tears in his eyes.

As the rice will be harvested in the next two days, Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan do not plan to go to the town tomorrow. The weather is a bit hot and they feel it will rain in a few days, so the most important thing is to harvest the rice and bring it home first.

There weren't so many sickles at home, so Feng looked after the children at home and prepared lunch for everyone.

The adults and a few older children were responsible for transporting the rice back and forth.

Early the next morning, Mr. Chen and Ms. Xu came over. Knowing that it was the busy farming season those days, the two of them did not waste too much time and moved the mugwort cream and gardenia cream that they had ordered earlier.

Old Mrs. Zhou counted the silver and money in the cloth bag, and she couldn't stop smiling, with tears in her eyes.

There really is such a good thing in this world. The rice harvest at home is going to be good, and I also get to collect the last payment for the anti-itch ointment.

After deducting the five hundred coins for the custom-made porcelain bottles and the three hundred coins for the lard, this time he made a net profit of eleven taels of silver. Adding this to what he got last time, he had no problem paying off his debts.

"Grandma, you can't bear such a small amount of money. You will cry when Uncle Chen gives you a big silver ingot in the future."

Old Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears with her sleeves, saying "you dead girl" but her eyes were full of smiles.

"Grandma, we still have a lot of ointment left. We can collect more money next time."

There is still a lot of stock left in Zhou Ming's bookstore, with nearly a hundred bottles of gardenia ointment alone.

This time, Uncle Chen took the 600 bottles of mugwort ointment that he had ordered, and the money he brought was only enough to buy 100 bottles of gardenia ointment.

I'll come back for more after I sell all of these.

"Okay, our family is in great need of you this time. After we harvest the rice, we'll go to town to buy things. I'll buy you whatever you want."

"Hehe, grandma is so nice. Don't worry, I definitely don't want those useless things. I'll buy practical things."

Everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts, especially Boss Zhou, who cried even harder than Old Lady Zhou, with tears and snot all over his face.

Ever since Mr. Zhou passed away, he has been trying to carry the family by setting an example himself.

Unexpectedly, this pressure was easily relieved by his little niece. He felt both happy and distressed.
