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

Now the wheat ears in the fields have turned yellow. When the breeze blows, they sway from side to side, which makes people's hearts sway. Seeing this scene, no farmer would be unhappy.

She carried the basket in one hand and stroked her belly with the other, walking slowly towards the foot of the mountain.

Soon, two dolls appeared in her sight.

"Aunt, why are you here? Grandma told you to rest at home."

"It's okay. I just came over to take a look and take a walk."

Seeing the two children beside her, Feng carried a small basket and picked some gray vegetables and amaranth from the grass nearby.

With these dishes, they will have enough for two plates of food at noon.

Together with his sons, Zhou Lao Da not only cut enough bamboo for the chicken coop, but also cut down a fir tree.

The fir tree branches and leaves that had been cut down earlier were also picked up and piled in the kitchen as firewood.

After tidying up the chicken coop, it was already noon. Before he could take his sons out, Old Mrs. Zhou and her two daughters-in-law came back with a lot of mugwort and lemongrass.

"Mom, you are so old now, so stop messing around. It would be better for you to stay at home and take care of the children."

"Who do you think is old? How old am I? I don't even have a single gray hair on my head. I'm in good health."

Boss Zhou looked at Old Lady Zhou's hair mixed with white silk and said nothing. Whatever mother said was what it was. It was a good thing that mother was not willing to admit old age at such an old age.

Boss Zhou said awkwardly, "Okay then, I'll take Dazhi and Xiaojie to the mountain to pick gardenias. The chicken coop is ready, you can take a look and fix any bad parts."

"Hurry up and come back, it's time to prepare lunch."

Old Mrs. Zhou worked outside for the whole morning today. Thinking that she would be able to earn a lot of money in the future, she was full of energy. She still has endless energy. Who would have thought that as soon as she got home, someone would pour cold water on her. She was so angry.

But after looking at the chicken coop her son had built, she found it quite good, with no gaps at all. Even if a weasel came, the chicks would have to open the door for it to get in. There was also a shed next to it to shelter the chicks from rain and sun. It was well tidy, and Mrs. Zhou left very satisfied.

Everyone drank some tea, took a break, and then started to prepare lunch. Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi were not idle. After washing the mint leaves, they began to wash the mugwort leaves and lemongrass. They washed as many as they could. If they washed more now, they could wash less in the afternoon.

Boss Zhou and his two sons picked two loose baskets of gardenias, about the same number as last time, but if they wanted to pick more, there would be none left.

After a simple lunch, a few more people joined the cleaning team, and they quickly cleaned all the things and hung them in baskets to dry.

When the whole family works together, no matter how big the problem is, it can be broken down into small pieces and solved one by one.

Boss Zhou sharpened his kitchen knife and finally had time to skin the rabbit. He would stew the rabbit meat for breakfast and have it for dinner.

Minghua didn't understand what was going on. When she saw that her uncle was going to kill the cute rabbit, she pulled the rabbit's legs and cried and refused to do so.

It was only when Old Mrs. Zhou carried her to visit the neighbors that her attention was diverted. When she came back, the rabbit was already stewed in the pot.

Zhu used the spice bag given by her daughter, and stewed the rabbit meat. It was very fragrant. The aroma wafted from far away, and it made people drool just by smelling it.

Wang Laizi walked over with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, following the fragrance. It had been a long time since the village had such delicious food.

When I got closer, I never expected that it was from Old Zhou's family.

From a distance, the man of the house was not there, and a group of women were busying around. Even if he was thick-skinned, he didn't want to chat with a few girls just for a bite to eat.

He was annoyed for a moment and wanted to go back, but he didn't expect to see Boss Zhou and his two sons in the wasteland next to him. They were processing a fir tree.

"Brother Zhou, is this the tree you cut down earlier? Why are you dealing with it now? Do you want me to help you?"

As Wang Laizi spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to come over to help, but was stopped by Boss Zhou.

"Brother Wang, you don't have to be so polite. My two sons and I have already finished the work. This tree trunk needs to be dried here for a few days before it can be used. I won't bother you anymore."

Wang Laizi's character is well known in Lianglin Village, so it's okay to just talk to him when you meet him.

But he came to help today on his own initiative, he must have some ulterior motive. Boss Zhou had seen how shameless he was before, so he must not be allowed to get involved. It would be fine to owe him a favor, but if he was hit by the tree trunk, he would have to pay compensation.

When Wang Laizi saw that Boss Zhou refused, he stopped trying and just stood by with his arms folded, watching them work.

Before he came over, Boss Zhou and his two sons had already peeled the bark and were now processing it, gathering it together and drying it for cooking.

"Brother, have you dealt with it?"

Not long after, Zhou Laoer came over rubbing his hands. He heard from his mother that his elder brother had gone up the mountain and cut down another fir tree. He was thinking of coming over to help, but who knew that it had already been done.

Seeing that there were other people around, Zhou Laoer chatted and greeted Wang Laizi. Seeing that he was not leaving, he did not mention the meal.

Seeing that they had nothing to do, Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie pushed the cart and went home. Soon, Old Mrs. Zhou came over and called out to them.

Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er hurriedly apologized to Wang Lai Zi and said that they were going home to eat, and asked him to go home early to eat as well.

Seeing the two brothers return home, Wang Laizi stopped pretending, spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and spat.

"It's just a piece of meat, who cares~"

Wang Laizi sniffed and walked away slowly. Not long after he walked, he looked in the direction of Lao Zhou's house. How could they eat meat when they were so poor? Maybe they stole it.

The rabbit meat stewed today is the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. Before the meal is even served, the little ones are already gathered in the kitchen to watch.

Zhu opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of rabbit meat spread in the kitchen with the steam, making the aroma even stronger.

The vegetable juice in the pot kept bubbling, and Zhou Mingyuan was so greedy that he cried, tears streaming down his face.

"Mother, please serve me a bowl first. I'll taste it to see if it tastes good and to check if your cooking skills have improved."

The people in the kitchen couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"Sandan, how dare you do that? Aren't you afraid that grandma will hear you and beat you up?"

"How could grandma beat me? I ate my meal well and didn't do anything naughty."

Zhu scooped out some vegetable juice with a spoon and tasted it. "Sister-in-law, try it. I think the saltiness is just right."

After tasting it, Liu nodded affirmatively, and then Zhu used a spoon to put the food into a large bowl, ignoring her son's request.

Some side dishes were added to the rabbit meat. In addition to the fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms, some dried vegetables from last year were added, including dried beans, dried day lilies, and some dried pumpkin slices. When the whole pot was served, it smelled extremely fragrant.

In addition to rabbit meat, there was also a plate of cold dishes and a pot of mushroom soup on the table, ensuring that everyone would be full.
