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

Chapter 156 Going up the mountain to look for wild fruits

"Aunt, we don't have enough of those. They're just right for us to use as seeds. We can plant more next year."

"Yeah, that's good too. This loofah is delicious and can produce fruit. It's better than growing cucumbers."

Zhou Mingshu carried a basket in each hand and the two returned to the front yard.

"Auntie, it's been hot these days, you should wash your hair too, I'll help you."

Mrs. Feng's belly was a little big, so it was inconvenient for her to do these things.

Seeing her niece being so considerate, Feng felt very warm in her heart.

"It's okay, I can do it myself. Although my belly is a little big, it's not that big yet. Wait another two months and I'll ask you for help."

"Haha, okay. I'll pour the hot water for you."

Zhou Mingshu went to pour water, and Zhou Mingqi was very tactful and helped his aunt move a high stool over.

"Aunt, call me if you need anything."

After Zhou Mingshu finished his work, he went back to his room and sat down.

He took an empty porcelain bottle and poured the fish food into it.

Then sprinkle two grains in the fish tank.

For such a small fish, one grain of fish food a day is enough.

This really saves food and is easy to raise.

Mrs. Feng was washing her hair outside. If she really needed help, she couldn't call her children because her two sisters-in-law were right next to her and her mother-in-law was not far away.

The soap and towels were already prepared, and even two basins of water were ready.

After going through this process, there is no need to ask anyone for help. The children at home are becoming more and more sensible and are able to do things appropriately.

Zhou Mingshu's bangs were blocking his eyes a little, so he took a pair of scissors and trimmed them slowly in front of the mirror.

"Saya, everything is fine at home. Let's go to the mountains later and see if we can pick some mushrooms. I'm tired of eating those vegetables all the time."

Zhou Mingqi ran in with his hair shaking.

"Isn't the fish at noon delicious? You actually said you were tired of it."

"Haha, of course not. Besides, I've seen the benefits of green peppercorns. Why don't we go pick the rest?"

"You greedy little cat, keep those for now and pick them later. I've seen that they are not ripe yet."

"San Ya, you said I was greedy, but in fact it was you who was greedy every time. You took the lead in making these delicious dishes. If you didn't like them, you would not bother to make them, right?"

Hearing her say this, Zhou Mingshu smiled.

"You are really a genius in theory, but what you said does make sense. As long as the dishes I make, they must be my favorites, and they must be delicious. I won't make dishes that don't taste good. On the other hand, these ingredients are all available nearby, so we can make whatever dishes we can research. This time you took me into the mountains, is there something you want to eat? I don't believe you just want to find mushrooms."

Zhou Mingqi laughed out loud, not hiding his little thoughts at all.

"Sana, my dear sister, how did you guess that? Was my performance that obvious?"

"We grew up together, after all. As the saying goes, when you stick your butt out—"

"Stop, stop, stop. Got it, got it."

"Hahaha, tell me quickly. If you don't, I won't go with you. It's so sunny outside. You might as well just lie at home."

"Many wild fruits in the mountains are ripe. Let's go and see if there are any edible ones. They are so sweet."

Zhou Mingqi's eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

"Okay, then wait until your hair is dry before going. Otherwise, it will be all sweaty again and your hair will be washed in vain."

Zhou Mingshu nodded and agreed. Since he came here, apart from eating a few watermelons and some peaches and apricots, he had indeed not seen many kinds of fruits.

Therefore, the children in the village all have a yearning for the wild fruits in the mountains.

"Of course. It's still too hot now. I'll call you later. Go back to your room and get some sleep first."

After confirming that San Ya would go, Zhou Mingqi no longer had any concerns. He went back to the room, put his hair aside, turned on his side and fell asleep.

After everyone had packed up, they went back to their rooms to rest. There was no other noise in the yard except for some sparrows chirping.

Zhou Mingshu closed the door, took out his wooden box from under the bed, and quietly studied the contents inside.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Mingqi came out from the backyard rubbing his eyes and with a big afro.

Mrs. Zhou, who was busy at work, looked at her granddaughter's funny expression and couldn't help but snort, "You didn't even look in the mirror before going out. Look at the way you look..."

My grandma never teases people unless she can't help it.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Mingqi looked puzzled. He went to the washbasin and found that his hair was blown away.

No wonder, ever since she woke up, the hair has been flying towards her face.

"Huh? Why did my hair become like this?"

"Hahaha, if you ask me, who should I ask?" Instead of comforting me, Old Mrs. Zhou laughed at me.

Thinking about the fact that I slept with wet hair and swung my hair in the sun, it would be strange if it didn't get frizzy after such a long time.

"It's okay, just wet it with water."

Hearing the noise in the yard, Zhou Mingshu took the initiative to walk out.

"Hurry up and comb your hair, or you won't be able to go up the mountain if you're late."

After all, it's already late enough now.

When he heard that he couldn't go up the mountain, Zhou Mingqi stopped complaining and started to move quickly.

"Sanya, didn't you take a nap at noon?"

"No, I just lay there for a while and couldn't fall asleep, so I got up."

Zhou Mingshu prepared his stuff, including a bamboo tube and a hatchet.

Zhou Mingqi's hair is very thick, and this afro makes it look even thicker.

Without bothering to tie her hair into a bun, she tied it up casually with a hairband, picked up the backpack and set off.

"You two should come back soon and don't stay in the mountains for too long."

"Got it, grandma."

The children had grown up and it was too much to keep them at home all the time. Seeing that there had been no reports of wild boars injuring people recently, she felt relieved and let the children go for a walk in the mountains.

The two little girls went out and headed up the mountain.

Passing by everyone's field ridges, I saw that only wheat stubble was left in many people's fields, and everyone's wheat had almost been harvested.

Except for some families with more land, and Wang Laizi's family...

From a distance, it seemed that there were two people busy in the field, one was bending over to cut, and the other was sitting on the edge of the field, doing something unknown.

They didn't want to bother with these things and walked up the mountain talking and laughing.

"These wild fruits grow in relatively high places. Let's walk up more. There may be some in lower places, but they may have been picked by the children in the village."

In this regard, Zhou Mingshu is not as good as Zhou Mingqi. She always follows her second sister, and wherever she goes, she follows closely behind.

They came across some mushrooms on the road and picked them up. With the system, there were of course some wild vegetables and herbs.

Seeing that there were not many wild fruits, Zhou Mingshu didn't want to go back empty-handed, so he dug some.
