I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Yes! It's made of blue bricks. I want to build a few more houses. If Dad and Big Brother come back one day, they will definitely be happy to see the new houses."

"Silly boy."

Song Erhe sighed and said to himself: I haven't found it for so long, I guess I can't come back.

Looking at Song An Ning's expectant eyes, he couldn't say what was in his heart.

Well, at least it's something for the kids to think about.

"By the way, Second Grandpa, I need to find someone to clean up the wasteland I bought."

"Don't worry about this, I'll help you arrange people.

Thirty cents a day, there are plenty of people in the village willing to work. It's not spring plowing yet, so everyone can earn some money to buy seeds."

"I'll also take the wages of the hired workers from this hundred taels, and I'll keep a record of every account."

Song Erhe spoke very seriously. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. Having been the head of the village for a long time, he was particularly sensitive about silver and money and did not want to make a mistake on a single copper coin.

"I'm completely confident in leaving these two matters to Second Grandpa."

This little old man is quite cute even when he looks serious.

After the house and land issues were settled, Song Anning returned home and reviewed everything that had happened in the past few days.

Now, all that’s left is to grow pepper seedlings.

Before, she would buy seedlings and plant them directly. At that time, she had no choice but to do so in order to make money quickly.

But in the long run, this is not a good idea. How can I explain taking out so many vegetable seedlings out of thin air?

That valley is some distance away from the village, and it takes a lot of time to go there all the time, so I might as well start with raising seedlings.

So, before going to bed last night, she soaked eighty packets of pepper seeds in warm water. Now is the right time to take them out and germinate them.

She soaked twenty packets of each of the four types of peppers: red pepper, green pepper, millet pepper, and erjingtiao pepper. She took out the soaked seeds, wrapped them in wet cotton cloth, and sealed them in a suitable temperature. When she came back from the mountain, they should have sprouted.

"Master, why are there only 80 packets? That's too little. You bought more than 20 acres of land. These are not enough for planting."

"The last time I raised seedlings was a lifetime ago. I'll just practice with these few dozen bags."

It is something I am used to doing, but when I change to an unfamiliar environment, I start to worry about various problems. Ultimately, it is because I lack a sense of security.

"Sister Qiuyue, there's nothing going on at home. I plan to go up the mountain."

After lunch, Wang Qiuyue saw her packing her things to go up the mountain. She guessed about 70% of it, so it didn't seem surprising to hear her say that.

He just went to the kitchen silently, filled the boiled water into a bamboo tube, packed a bag of cakes and preserved fruits bought yesterday, and put it into Song Anning's backpack.

"Don't worry, I'm at home."

"Of course I'm relieved. Just don't overwork yourself. The work isn't finished yet, so let's take our time."

In the next few days, Wang Qiuyue will have to cook for the family, take care of Wang Ying'er and several children, and wash and dry the newly bought fabrics to make bedding.

What's more, there were so many duck eggs soaking in the wooden basin.

"Don't worry about me. These tasks may seem like a lot, but they're actually easy to do. These little ones can help me wash and pickle the duck eggs, and the cloths can be washed in just the morning."

Wang Qiuyue didn't feel tired at all. She was full of energy now. Her daily wage was fifty copper coins. This morning, she used the silver money left over from yesterday to buy a lot of duck eggs. This was what Aning told her. She could make money with money.

Because Song An Ning dug ginseng in the mountains and there were wolves protecting her, Song Dashan did not stop her this time. He just reminded her to be careful while putting dry food in her backpack.

"Grandpa, if you're at home, keep an eye on Wang Qingshan and his wife. Although Second Grandpa warned them once, I can see they're still holding onto their evil intentions. Who knows what might happen next."

"Okay, as long as Qiuyue goes out, I will follow her. I don't think they will dare to do anything even if they have any evil intentions."

Picking up the backpack, Song An Ning finally handed Wang Qiuyue a small paper bag and ten taels of silver.

"This is the medicine my mother takes, one pill a day, she can't stop.

This money is for family use. We can use it to buy anything we need. We can also use it to collect duck eggs."

Wang Qiuyue took the silver and suddenly felt sorry for the little girl in front of her. This family depended on Aning for support. When other children went out, their family members would take turns to give them instructions.

But when it comes to Aning, it's the opposite. It's really hard for a thirteen-year-old girl to think about them in every detail.

Carrying a backpack and a sickle in his hand, Song An Ning was more excited than ever when he went up the mountain again after a few days.

"Master, where are we going? It will be sunny for the next three days, but it will rain heavily in a few days. Let's not go too far."

Before setting off, Song Anning also checked the weather forecast in advance. Including this afternoon, three and a half days was enough time to do a lot of things.

"Let's go check on Big Gray first, and then go explore the deep mountains. Last time we encountered an anaconda, we didn't collect plants properly."

"Okay, Xiangxiang wants to see Shuai Shuai Wolf's cubs. They were delivered by the master himself!"

Song Anning had the same idea, but the wolves' whereabouts were unpredictable, so meeting one in the mountains depended entirely on luck.

When she reached the back mountain, she bought a small shovel from the mall and started digging the plants on the ground.

"Ding, I bought three pounds of perilla, and the amount was twenty-four cents."

"Ding, I bought two kilograms of Isatis root, and the amount has reached my account for twenty cents."

There were really no valuable things in the back mountain. After taking over the warehouse of Wanhetang, Song An Ning had no shortage of money.

But this time she didn't open the map, and she found these things based entirely on the scientific knowledge in her memory.

"Xiangxiang, this is dragon tooth grass, right? It can astringe and stop bleeding, reduce swelling and relieve pain."

"Correct answer! Give the master a super big kiss."

When Song An Ning first dug these out, Xiang Xiang was a little confused. The system had so much silver in reserve, but now it was earning tens of coins at a time, which made it feel like using a cannon to kill a mosquito - a waste of talent.

Now I understand that the owner didn't even look at the signs on the map. She had memorized all the knowledge about wild vegetables and medicinal herbs in her mind. How amazing!

Plants grow fast in spring. In just a dozen days, the fresh wild vegetables on the mountain have become old. The dandelion has grown from a small sprout to a big tree with many seeds on the top.

Pick one, put it to your mouth and blow gently, the seeds will float lightly in the air and finally fall far away.

They have a very strong vitality and can be found in the fields. She still remembers that when she was a child in her previous life, she always carried a small basket to dig dandelions on the roadside and brought them home to feed the geese. In winter, she would stew the geese in an iron pot.

Xiangxiang saw Song Anning holding the dandelion seeds in his hand for a long time, and smiled, then asked in a low voice:

"Master, is he homesick?"

"Yeah, I'm so worried about Mom and Dad."

Ever since she dreamed about her parents, she didn't dare to stop for a moment. When she had free time, she would just daydream about it, and her mood would become worse.

It’s better to keep yourself busy. When you are busy, time will pass quickly and you will have no time to think about random things.

As time passed, she unknowingly arrived at the valley where the pepper seedlings were stored. The gurgling stream brought a cool breeze, and she sat under a big tree and ate a pack of biscuits.

As the weather gets hotter and you sweat more, you need a lot of sugar to replenish your energy.

Suddenly, a shrill cry was faintly heard from a long distance away.

Song Anning jumped up from the ground, looked at the distant hilltop and said anxiously:

"It's Dahui and the others!"
