She went back to the room and wiped the words off the wooden board, thinking of secretly painting the blackboard tonight.

She will not use the can of black paint in the corner. She plans to buy it directly from the system. It is healthy, environmentally friendly and easy to use. More importantly, it does not have any strange smell.

"Sanya, can you still read today?"

"Yes, wait until you have all finished eating."

It was still early, Zhou Mingshu wrote four words on the ground and slowly taught them.

Zhou Mingqin is the slowest learner, but she has always been very diligent.

Zhou Mingjie is the most mischievous one, and also the type who has high expectations but poor skills.

The one who surprised Zhou Mingshu the most was Zhou Mingyuan. Although this little guy was young, he was the one who always remembered the most complete and firm things. It was true that the younger a person was, the easier it was to carve him.

At first Xiao Ming didn't know what the paintings were for, but now he has learned to follow them in the past few days, but the effect is minimal.

Several people were squatting on the ground writing and drawing. Just as Old Mrs. Zhou was closing the gate, Aunt Caixia came over.

"Aunt, I came to visit you and I have something good to tell you."

"Good news? What good news? Come in and tell me."

Old Mrs. Zhou pulled Aunt Caixia in. She held her aunt Liu's arm and smiled from ear to ear. The two of them got married at the same time and had the best relationship.

Mrs. Liu thought that her Aunt Caixia had come to propose marriage to her child, and she felt extremely happy, bringing stools and pouring tea.

"Hey, when did you become so formal? You even poured me some water." Caixia took the tea bowl and took a sip. Then she realized that the taste of the tea was not right. "Hey, why are you guys brewing tea leaves? This tea tastes pretty good."

"It's not tea. This is made with mint leaves. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat. It's been too hot these days. You need it to get rid of the summer heat." Liu explained with a smile.

But none of this could divert Aunt Caixia's enthusiasm. "I'm telling you guys, Youcai found a great place today. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, come with me."

"What? What good place?" Liu's heart sank. She thought it was a marriage proposal for her daughter or son.

"Today, Youcai went to a mountain with his cousin. The mushrooms in the mountain were just like the ones grown in the fields. They were everywhere. You could not pick them all up. I couldn't forget you guys when I had such a good opportunity. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can go with me. I guarantee that your family will have more mushrooms than you can eat this year."

"Go, go, all of you go tomorrow. Don't let Caixia down." Old Mrs. Zhou responded with a smile.

Caixia is a good person. She always thinks about her family when something good happens. Old Mrs. Zhou is very touched.

"Okay, then you guys go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. The mountain is quite far away, so we have to walk for a while. We can only go back and forth once a day. Bring two more cloth bags. Youcai has borrowed a bullock cart, so we don't have to worry about it getting too heavy when we come back."

As Aunt Caixia talked about this, the smile on her face never stopped. Her inner thoughts were all expressed in her body movements. She clapped her hands and thighs with joy.

He would joke with Zhou Lao Da and his two brothers from time to time, telling jokes and making fun of them.

After having fun, they did not forget to say hello to Zhou Mingshu and other children. Seeing the children lying on the ground, they thought they were catching golden beetles to feed the chickens. When they looked closer, they found that they were writing.

Old Mrs. Zhou explained the situation, and Zhou Mingshu was praised by Aunt Caixia.

It was getting late, so she waved and went home, disappearing down the path.

"If Caixia says there are a lot of mushrooms, then there really are a lot of mushrooms. While Youcai has borrowed the ox cart, everyone who is free at home should go tomorrow. I'll go too. Third brother, you take a few maids to guard the house. We probably won't be back at noon. Bake a few more pancakes tomorrow morning and bring them with you, and also bake a few for Caixia. Big brother, get the backpack, bags, and sticks ready so we can leave early tomorrow morning to avoid leaving anything behind."

Old Mrs. Zhou gave instructions one by one, and everyone nodded and went to work.

"Mom, can I go?" Zhu looked at her son and frowned slightly.

"You should stay at home. It's such a long way to follow Zhui Ke Zi."

"No, I want to go."

Zhou Mingyuan was acting coquettishly. He also wanted to pick so many mushrooms. Besides, he had never been to the distant mountains and he wanted to go and take a look.

"Let him go with you, follow me, I'll watch him." Old Mrs. Zhou said. She was worried about leaving this brat at home. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Mrs. Zhu no longer objected.

After today's learning task is completed, everyone disperses to wash up.

Zhou Mingshu returned to the house, bought blackboard paint from the system and painted the wooden board once. He would paint it again tomorrow and it would be ready for use after it dried.

Then she bought some chalk and put it in the "pen holder" on the table so that she could use it whenever she wanted.

……

Early the next morning, Old Mrs. Zhou left with her family.

A few people had nothing to do, so they slept in for a long time before getting up.

After breakfast, Feng took the three girls home to make ointment. The sun outside was very hot, so the five of them huddled in the kitchen to drink tea and chat.

Feng brought her own thread basket and started sewing with Zhou Mingqin. She was almost done with the child's bellyband.

Zhou Mingqi was a little greedy and insisted on making mugwort dumplings. There was plenty of mugwort at home anyway, so she let her do whatever she wanted.

In half a morning, Zhou Mingshu finished everything she wanted to do.

Seeing that their attention was not on her, she took out the blackboard paint and painted the wooden board two or three times before stopping.

Before she could put her things away, she heard someone calling outside the door.

"Is anyone home? Is anyone home? We are the guys from the porcelain shop. We are here to deliver something to you."

Zhou Mingqin responded, quickly got up to open the door, and welcomed the person in.

It has only been a few days since I placed the order and the porcelain shop has already delivered the items. Their speed is really amazing.

Zhou Mingshu walked out of the house and asked the servants to bring the things in.

The two guys who came were the same ones from last time. As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. They consciously carried the basket to a shaded place away from the sun.

However, Zhou Mingshu apologized to them, saying that the head of the family was not at home and they had no money, so they could not pay the balance today.

The two guys didn't make things difficult for them. The old lady who had paid the money last time was not at home, and they understood their family situation very well, so they agreed to give them two days' grace period.

Zhou Mingshu poured them some tea and asked them to rest before leaving.

Zhou Mingqi's green rice dumplings were just cooked, so he gave one to each of them. They were so hot that they grimaced and expressed their gratitude.

After eating the green rice dumplings, the two waiters waved their hands and went back.

It's not right for two grown men like them to stay in someone else's house all the time, after all, there is no man in the house.

Zhou Mingshu closed the door again and turned around to see Zhou Mingqin smiling.
