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

"Sister, what are you laughing at?"

"I was laughing at how coincidental it was. The porcelain bottle was delivered right after our perfume ointment was steamed. There was no delay at all."

"Yes, yes. But it doesn't matter if they don't deliver it today. We still have some left at home. Besides, the ointment can only be bottled tomorrow."

Zhou Mingshu had a clear idea of ​​the time it would take when she did these things. It took about three or four days to make each batch of porcelain bottles, and she also made the ointment at the exact time.

Not a lot of ointment was steamed this time because the amount of oil at home is limited, but we were able to make two or three hundred bottles.

Zhou Mingshu counted out some porcelain bottles and moved the rest back to the room for future use.

There happened to be hot water in the pot, so all the preparation work could be done at once.

By the time they finished their work, Feng had already prepared lunch.

There are only five of them at home, so it is easy to cook a small meal.

She stirred a bowl of noodle dumplings, blanched a handful of gray cabbage leaves, and made a pot of wild vegetable noodle dumpling soup. The five of them each filled a bowl and drank it up.

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, everyone's forehead was covered with sweat.

"You guys go and have a rest. I'll wash the pot and then take Si Ya to bed. The weather is a bit hot today. The rice will not need to be dried again after it is collected in the afternoon."

Feng's eyes curved. She bent down, picked up a grain of rice, put it in her mouth and bit it. It made a crunching sound and the grain was very hard.

She took out a rake and rake it around, then went back into the house to scrub the pot.

Zhou Mingqin took Minghua and washed her face, then carried her into the house, put her on the bed and let her sleep.

The sun is shining brightly today. The cold well water will become warm after being placed in the sun for a while. If it is left there longer, it will become water for bathing in the evening.

Zhou Mingshu finished washing himself, then filled his basin with water and waited for the water to heat up before washing his hair.

When she returned to the house, the sunlight was a little dazzling. In addition, she had slept too much in the morning. She turned over and sat up. She really didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead of wasting this time sleeping, she might as well read more books and enrich herself with some knowledge about how to get rich.

Zhou Mingshu estimated that the water temperature was about right, so he took off his bun and prepared to wash his hair. Suddenly, he heard thunder outside. Is this... is it going to rain?

She opened the door and looked up at the sky, and happened to meet Feng who opened the door.

"Aunt, it looks like it's going to rain."

Feng casually tied her hair behind her back and said, "Never mind, let's collect the grains first. They have already been dried. If it rains, everything will be ruined."

What Feng said made sense, and Zhou Mingshu hurried to the backyard to call for help.

Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi were also frightened by the thunder, and they came over and quickly picked up the bags to collect the things.

The sky was overcast quickly, so the four men quickened their pace, not caring about the soreness in their arms, and just wanted to rub the things into the house first.

Zhou Minghua came out of the room rubbing his eyes. He was shocked by the rush of people to harvest. After he realized what was going on, he took a small broom from the corner and swept the scattered millet on the ground.

When the few people had almost finished collecting, the dark clouds above their heads could not hold on any longer, and raindrops as big as beans fell down, filling the air with the smell of earth.

"Alas, these two baskets of rice have been soaked by the rain. They need to be taken out separately and moved out to dry in the sun when the weather clears up."

Feng put her hand into the grain and felt that it was slightly damp.

"Grandma and Auntie might get caught in the rain, but it's a pity that we can't send them an umbrella."

As Zhou Mingqin said this, her face was filled with worry and distress.

Zhou Mingshu didn't wash her hair, so she tied it up with a rope. When she touched her hair, a few pieces of rice chaff stuck on it fell off.

"Yeah, that's true. However, this rain came at a very timely moment. It was so hot before, but now it doesn't feel hot anymore. It's even a little cold."

Zhou Mingqi touched the goose bumps on his arm and slapped a mosquito to death with a "snap".

This mosquito is really fat.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, as if the sky had torn open a hole and was pouring down.

If you get caught in such heavy rain, it would be strange if you don't catch a cold! Should we prepare some more ginger soup tonight to keep everyone away from the cold? !

The people who were picking mushrooms adjusted their straw hats while picking mushrooms. The mushrooms on this mountain are really lush.

Not only are there many varieties, but they are all top-quality buds, as if they came out of a fairy tale.

"Auntie Zhou, look over there. There's such a big cloud in front, but the rain is only falling in that area. God really knows how to make it rain~" Caixia raised her head and said to Old Mrs. Zhou behind her with a smile.

Old Mrs. Zhou looked up and saw that it was indeed the case! From time to time, one or two lightning bolts flashed under the dark clouds, as if the Dragon King had come to "catch someone".

It turned out that this was a local thunderstorm. She had finally seen it for herself.

They stood on the top of the mountain, looking at everything below. Even the rain clouds seemed much smaller.

"Is this heading towards Lianglin Village? I don't know if the people at home will have time to harvest the rice. The rice is still drying at home."

"Aunt Zhou, you don't have to worry about it! Do Hongyu and the children at home eat for free? How could they not hear such a loud thunder? Just put your worry back in your stomach and pick mushrooms. Look how good these porcini are. A few of them can make a dish. Pick more."

"Haha, that's right, you don't dry the rice at home, do you?"

"No, we don't dare to show it when no one is home. We are all locked in the house."

It is better to be careful with the newly harvested rice. From what I saw today, it is fortunate that it was not exposed to the sun, otherwise it would have been washed away by the rain.

As the group of people were chatting, the baskets on their backs were filled up unknowingly, and the several cloth bags they brought were also filled up.

There are so many mushrooms in this forest, but there are also many mosquitoes and snakes. No one dares to be careless. When a group of people walk together, they are afraid that something might happen.

"No wonder there are so many mushrooms on this mountain. Look at how tall and big the trees are. I wonder how thick the fallen leaves on the ground are. They are all good fertilizer. This mountain is still high, and things grow young. There are also many wild vegetables that are not out of season."

"That's right. No wonder there's a saying that goes 'people always go to higher places'. It turns out there's some truth to this. If the basket wasn't full, I would have wanted to go up a little further."

Everyone went down the mountain with smiles on their faces. They picked a handful of wild vegetables when they saw them and took them away, so they had dinner.

When we came, the car was full of people, and when we left, the car was full of mushrooms.

Everyone set out on their journey home with a smile on their faces.

Zhou Mingyuan was young. He sat on the shaft of the cart, swinging his legs back and forth, looking very happy.

Anyone who rides in a car will feel happy. He even wants to sit on a cow.

Everyone was suffering from mosquito bites, especially the four members of the Wang family. Old Mrs. Zhou took out a bamboo tube of mugwort ointment and smeared it on everyone.

Wang Youcai exclaimed, "Auntie, isn't this the mugwort paste sold in town? You guys bought it too. I heard it's very effective. I wanted to buy it, but I didn't get it because it was sold out."
