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

After a simple lunch of some noodles in chicken mushroom soup, the group continued to work.

The whole yard was wet, and baskets of all sizes were covered with chicken mushrooms.

Thinking about making delicious food in the evening, Old Mrs. Zhou stopped and went out.

She went to her neighbor's house, bought an old hen and gave it to Zhou Lao Da to kill. Zhou Mingyuan followed behind his uncle to help, boiling water, plucking the chicken feathers... he was very busy and happy.

In addition to the group of people washing chicken mushroom flowers, Liu and Zhu were busy boiling lard and chicken mushroom oil in the kitchen.

Every time I am busy, I feel that the pots at home are not enough and I wish I could make two more pots.

Old Mrs. Zhou was also very distressed. She bought ten pounds of fat and planned to boil it into lard to make soap. However, an emergency occurred and she had to make the lard into chicken mushroom oil first. San Ya's soap had to be postponed.

……

Zhou Mingshu sneezed twice. He felt that something good was going to happen today and was in a very good mood.

Of course, there is also a reason why mugwort paste sells particularly well.

Madam Xu bought some sesame cakes today. They cut the cakes in half, put the vegetables inside, and each of them held one in their arms and ate it with their head tilted. The cakes were sprinkled with sesame seeds, and they tasted especially delicious with every bite.

After lunch, Chen Banxia and Zhou Mingshu washed their hands and feet and went into the house to rest.

"Sister Mingshu, I heard from Grandpa that you were not there yesterday and went to the livestock market. How was it? Was it fun?"

Although Chen Banxia lived in the town, he seldom went out, so he didn't know much about these places.

"It's not that much fun. There are flies everywhere and piles of livestock feces and urine everywhere. If you want to take a look, I suggest you change into a pair of straw sandals. But there are rabbits, cockfights, and cricket fights inside, so it's quite exciting to watch."

After hearing what Zhou Mingshu said, which was so disgusting, Chen Banxia gave up most of her desire to go out and play. When she had the chance, she decided to go to the county town with her parents. At least it was clean there.

Zhou Mingshu was not joking, the livestock market was indeed like this, she was just describing the specific situation, and it was really not a good idea for them, a young girl, to go there alone.

After waking up, Chen bought a few cucumbers at some point and kept them in the well for a whole afternoon. Now he took them out and ate them. They were crisp, delicious, cool and very comfortable.

"Uncle Chen, how come these cucumbers are bearing fruit so early? The cucumbers in my garden have only just formed a small bud. It will take a while before we can eat them." Zhou Mingshu sighed while eating the cucumbers in his hand.

"These are specially grown by vegetable farmers. If they plant them a few days earlier, the fruits will naturally come a few days earlier. However, it may also be due to different varieties. Some bear fruit late and some bear fruit early," explained Mr. Chen.

Zhou Mingshu nodded, thinking that what he said made sense. The vegetable farmers must have kept the best seeds.

The villagers’ vegetable plots are small to begin with, and they are used for their own consumption. The seeds they keep are all from old plants, and they don’t understand the concept of survival of the fittest at all.

After eating a cool cucumber, the drowsiness from the nap was almost gone.

Except for a few patients in the shop who were unable to move, those who occasionally came to get medicine were received by Mr. Xu, and no one was very busy.

Mr. Chen took a book and taught the children to read and study.

In the afternoon, Chen Fan entered the shop with a few candy figures.

"Oh, learning to read? Then I came at the wrong time." Chen Fan smiled and Chen Banxia and Chen Gansong seemed to have seen a savior.

"Uncle Xiaofan, you came at the perfect time!" After saying that, she felt that her happiness was a little too obvious, and turned back to look at Mr. Chen, who had a serious face.

The three children took it and each of them got a sugar painting.

"Thank you Uncle Xiaofan~ It's delicious."

"So sweet~"

Chen Fan sat down with a smile, looking at the handwriting on the table that had not yet dried.

Although he was not a scholar, he knew many words from the influence of his surroundings since childhood.

"Xiaosong's handwriting is good, vigorous and powerful, just like a man." Then he picked up another piece of paper. The words on it were crooked, but you could barely make out what they were.

Chen Fan's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at his little niece who was eating the candy painting next to him. He knew who wrote it at a glance.

"This is a good handwriting. It's written like a puppy running around in the village. It has a very rural feel. Maybe it will catch the eyes of everyone. Hahaha." Chen Fan couldn't praise it any more and laughed at the end.

Zhou Mingshu and the other children also laughed. Chen Sheng curled his lips. His cousin was so unreliable. He had never seen anyone praise him like that.

"Xiao Fan, Mingshu has only learned to read for a short time, and it's already very good that he can write like this. Your handwriting is not as good as others, and you have the nerve to laugh at others. Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror?"

"Brother, can you please give me some face in front of the kids? I was just joking just now." Chen Fan tried to make amends.

This time even Mr. Xu joined in the laughter. Chen Fan was such a funny guy that he created a good atmosphere wherever he went.

"Okay, Xiaosong, stop eating the sugar paintings. Bring the cucumbers soaking in the jar at the back to your uncle Xiaofan to try."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gansong trotted to the backyard.

"Are you not busy in the store now? Or is Second Aunt nagging you again?" Chen Sheng's eyes were as sharp as fire, and he saw through it at a glance.

"You're right. The store is usually not busy at this time. It's time for a break. But my mother keeps nagging me to get married. Does that mean I don't want to get married? I obviously don't have any girls I like."

Chen Fan sighed and angrily took a bite of the cucumber in his hand. It was quite crispy.

I don't know what's wrong with his mother, but she has been urging him to get married recently. His third sister just gave birth to a child, and if she wants to take care of the grandson, he can take his third sister over and let her take care of her.

Mr. Chen closed the book and smiled. "No wonder you don't want to go home. Then I'll talk to your sister-in-law and ask her if there are any girls of the right age in her village. Let's meet each other."

Mr. Xu was right beside him. He stopped calculating with his abacus and said with a smile, "There are several girls of the right age in our village. Which one do you like? I'll ask your aunt to help you find a matchmaker."

"No, sir, please don't, I don't want to see each other, I just want to find someone I like, and that person has to like me. Seeing each other always makes me feel awkward."

When he said this, all the patients in Baicaotang shop laughed.

Zhou Mingshu understood that Uncle Xiaofan was pursuing free love.

"In that case, then you just wait and see. But you can't just drag it on like this. If you don't have the ability, then let Second Aunt worry about it." Mr. Chen advised.

"Okay, I'm still young anyway, so it doesn't matter if I'm two years late. I'm used to being lazy, and I feel like I'm being tied down when I get married. I can't adapt."

The patients in Baicaotang were all talking about the advantages of getting married, but because there were two girls around, they didn't dare to say anything too obscene.

However, I still advise Chen Fan to get married as soon as possible. After all, many people of his age have children who are almost old enough to help with housework.
