Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Old Man Mu and the others gradually climbed onto the ridge of the field. Wang Qing'er ladled tea, and Mu Qin was responsible for handing it to them.

Mu Qin asked with a smile, "Uncle Wang, would you like something sweet or something refreshing to cool you down?"

Uncle Wang was somewhat surprised and asked, "Oh! Qin girl, this tea has two flavors?"

“Uncle Wang, there are two flavors. My sister-in-law gets up early in the morning to boil water, soak the ingredients, and then put them in the well to chill. They are both refreshingly cool.” Mu Qin replied with a smile, deliberately raising her voice, especially the words “sister-in-law”.

Uncle Wang said with a smile, "Then give me something sweet."

Uncle Wang took the tea, tasted it, and said, "This sweet tea is really delicious. It tastes sweet with a hint of sourness and some fruity aroma. The flavor is somewhat familiar. Qin girl, what kind of fruit was used to make this tea?"

Mu Qin said, "Uncle Wang, this was made by my sister-in-law using mulberry jam."

"Mulberry jam? Did you buy this in town?" Uncle Wang thought it was jam. His daughter-in-law seemed to have bought a jar before. It wasn't cheap, and his daughter-in-law was scolded by her mother-in-law for being wasteful.

Mu Qin: "No, my sister-in-law made it herself. We often use it to make tea, and the whole family loves it."

"Isn't it often soaked?" Wang Qing'er originally didn't plan to make jam anymore, but a small jar was empty in just a few days. So she had to make several more jars, seal them well, and hang them in the well so they wouldn't spoil for a while.

There was also mulberry wine made for Old Man Mu, which he said was quite good. He then went to the market and bought more than ten kilograms of liquor, asking Wang Qing'er to make mulberry wine for him.

"What? This mulberry jam is homemade?" a square-faced man next to him asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Mu Qin nodded heavily.

"What kind of tea is this? Why does it leave a cool and refreshing feeling in my throat after drinking it? And it also has a pleasant fragrance."

"Brother Lin, this is my sister-in-law's special herbal tea. It's refreshing and cool, and it's especially good for relieving the summer heat. The weather has been a bit hot these past few days, so my sister-in-law makes some every day. My dad and my brothers drink a bowl of it when they come back from work. It's so refreshing and delicious."

Wang Qing'er listened to Mu Qin's eloquent explanation and realized that she really wanted to treat this younger sister-in-law differently.

And this girl adds "sister-in-law" to every sentence she says, and she even raises her voice as if she's afraid others won't hear her.

Wang Qing'er almost laughed when she heard that!

I used to think she was just hardworking and well-behaved, and had a talent for reading and writing, but I never expected her to be so eloquent.

As the weather gets hotter these days, she does brew some peppermint tea or peach blossom tea every day so that the people working at home can enjoy it when they come home.

"What kind of tea is that? You all look like you've never had tea before." The man who had just asked Xiuhe for water was curious when he saw the lively scene and how everyone seemed to have drunk some kind of magic potion.

"Brother Yongwang, we still have some of my sister-in-law's special tea. Would you like a bowl?" Muqin shouted loudly towards them.

Soon, the people from the other side brought over their bowls, and Wang Qing'er helped each of them scoop a bowl of tea.

"Wow, this is delicious! It feels so refreshing and soothing in my throat. Can I have some of the sweet one too?" A man finished his mint tea and wanted to try the sweet mulberry tea.

Finally, everyone got to drink two kinds of tea. After drinking the tea, everyone rested for a while, chatted for a bit, and then went back to the field to start planting rice seedlings.

Before leaving, someone asked Muqin if she would still bring tea in the afternoon. Only after receiving a satisfactory answer did she return to transplant rice seedlings with a contented heart.

Mu Qin turned her head and saw Xiuhe standing there alone, looking in their direction. A mischievous smile appeared on her face, and she shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Sister Xiuhe, it looks really hot. Would you like a bowl of my sister-in-law's special mulberry tea? It's very sweet with lots of brown sugar."

"No, no need, I'm not thirsty." Xiuhe stood there so angry that her nails dug into her flesh, but what could she do? If she hadn't disagreed in the first place, she would be sitting next to Mu Nan now.

Looking at the two sitting side by side on the ridge, Xiuhe felt for a moment that the two were a perfect match.

And what is she anyway?

After finishing the water in her bowl, Mu Nan said, "Qing'er, the sun is too strong. You should go back quickly. Leave the bowl and bucket here; I'll take them back with me."

Wang Qing asked, "Brother Mu Nan, are you going home for lunch or are you bringing it to you and Dad?"

"Just have Mu Xiao deliver it, you don't need to come. Also, have them deliver the afternoon tea." Mu Nan didn't want his wife to make repeated trips; it was too tiring for her.

"Brother Mu Nan, do you not want me to disturb your good time?" Wang Qing'er wanted to tease her husband again.

"Wang Qing'er! I'll deal with you when we get back tonight, so you'll know that my heart and body belong only to you." Mu Nan whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Brother Mu Nan, you..." Wang Qing'er's face turned red from being teased by him. She reached out to hit the man, but he held her tightly in his hand and she couldn't move.

Looking at his little wife's shy appearance, Mu Nan couldn't help but pounce on her and quickly kissed her on the cheek.

"Brother Mu Nan, you... you're a human being, how could you... never mind, I'm going home!" Wang Qing'er wished she could find a hole to crawl into; someone was sure to see her, it was so embarrassing.

"Okay, go home and wait for me to come back." Mu Nan then let go of her hand, got up and went down to the field.

Wang Qing'er sat on the edge of the field, looking at the endless paddy fields in front of her, where people were bending over to plant rice seedlings.

She also longed to go down into the fields and experience working with her face to the soil and her back to the sky—well, no, it should be working with her face to the paddy fields and her back to the sky.

In the distance, there were a few women planting rice seedlings in the fields, but her husband would definitely not agree to her going into the water.

Since her last illness, we've been avoiding letting her touch cold water, and we prepare hot water for her to wash up in the morning and evening.

"Sister-in-law, are we going back?" Mu Qin asked Wang Qing'er, who was sitting on the edge of the field in a daze.

"Go back, go back and make something delicious." Wang Qing'er got up from the ground, picked up the empty bucket, and walked towards home.

"Sister-in-law, what new dish are you making this time?" Mu Qin's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to make something delicious.

Wang Qing'er just said it casually, and hadn't decided what to cook yet. While she was thinking, she saw several familiar figures.

"Are those Mu Lin, Zi Hao, Yao Er, and Zi Yuan?" Wang Qing'er looked up and saw a group of children playing and laughing in the distance.

"It's Mu Lin and the others." Mu Qin then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mu Lin, Zihao, Yao'er, and Xiao Yuanyuan."

"Uncle, look, it's my mother and aunt." Yao'er said, tugging at her uncle's clothes when she heard Muqin call them.

The private school was on holiday these past few days, so Mu Lin spent his days playing with Mu Yao and the other children.

"Sister-in-law, sister!"

"Sister-in-law, cousin!"

"Mom, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, sister."

Several people ran towards them while shouting.
