Aunt Zhang frowned slightly. In front of Lian Fangzhou and her son, it was inconvenient for her to say anything about her daughter-in-law, so she said angrily to Lian Fangzhou, "You too, why do you buy so much meat? You don't spend money like that! If you buy rice and mix it with some sweet potatoes, it will be enough to eat for several days!"
Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled and said, "I knew my aunt would definitely say something about me! Listen to my explanation first! The money to buy the meat came from selling the mushrooms that Aze and I picked the other day. Aze and the others are still growing up, so they can’t live too hard. Besides, it’s just eating once in a while! I was thinking about how my aunt and uncle Li always help us, so naturally I can’t forget you. Otherwise, we won’t feel at ease after eating it!”
Everyone laughed when Lian Fangzhou said this.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Fangzhou is really getting better at talking! You really don't need to do this, we are all neighbors, why do you always take things to heart!"
"That's right!" Aunt Zhang also glared at her and smiled, but it was hard to blame her.
Lian Fangzhou smiled, and took out the veil from his bosom, opened it, and gave the two pairs of velvet flowers to Zhao and Li Juan respectively, and said with a smile: "When I bought it for my Qinger, I also bought a pair. For my sister-in-law and Ajuan, I don't know if my sister-in-law and Ajuan like it or not!"
Is there anyone in a woman's family, especially a young woman, who doesn't like to dress up and love flowers? Mrs. Zhao and Li Juan both said "Yeah" happily, held it in their hands and looked left and right, they liked it very much, and thanked them non-stop with a smile.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law and daughter were so happy, Aunt Zhang couldn't say anything, she just gave Lian Fangzhou another look and shook her head helplessly.
For a while, everyone chatted affectionately again, and Lian Fangzhou asked with a smile: "By the way, I don't know why Aunt Zhang called me—"
Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory! I just talk nonsense and forget about serious things! That's how it is, your family doesn't have any livestock, and you won't have any manure to use in the field next year. If you don’t fertilize the crops, the crops won’t grow! It’s just that we got about ten catties of milk vetch seeds, if you want, give me six or seven catties, and sprinkle them in the fields in a few days, so that they can be used as green manure in spring!”
After the seeds of milk vetch are sown, they can grow up to knee height in spring and produce purple-red flowers the size of copper coins. When plowing the field, plow it all down and put it into the soil, it is a good fertilizer, which is green manure.
Lian Fangzhou knew about this, and had seen it in rural areas in modern times, but he didn't expect such a method to exist at this time.
She nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Li and Auntie are more thoughtful. If there is any leftover, just give it to me as much as you want!"
"We don't have many fields, and we have enough left over! I've already packed the bags, so you can take them back now! Seeing the weather is fine these days, we can scatter them." Aunt Zhang laughed.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao smiled graciously and said, "Fangzhou, wait a minute, I'll get it for you!" After finishing speaking, she turned and left.
Lian Fangzhou agreed.
Suddenly Mrs. Zhao came over with a small sack, handed it to Lian Fangzhou, and said with a smile, "Here!"
Lian Fangzhou thanked him and was about to leave.
But Mrs. Zhao asked curiously: "Fangzhou, you just said that you went to sell mushrooms today? How much did you sell?"
Since she asked, Lian Fangzhou naturally wanted to say something, so she smiled and said, "There are about three bags of dried mushrooms in total, and they sold four taels in total—"
"What! So many!" Zhao exclaimed in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
In addition to surprise, there is also indescribable envy.
Not to mention her, even Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, Li Sanhe, and Li Juan were all stunned.
Seeing them like this, Lian Fangzhou felt a little embarrassed.
"Fangzhou, is this true?" Aunt Zhang asked again in a murmur.
Four taels of silver, this is the daily expenses of half a year, and it is really unbelievable to earn so much in just a few days!
"Are those mushrooms really that valuable?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but glance at the basket that Lian Fangzhou sent over, and immediately felt distressed: It's all money, what a pity to eat it!
Lian Fangzhou smiled and told the story from beginning to end.
Aunt Zhang changed color when she heard it: "You two siblings dare to go to Xianteng Mountain? It's really—ah!"
Zhao said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, if I know that I can make so much money, I will go too! What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that if there is too much money, I will bite my hand!"
"Look how you talk!" Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at Mrs. Zhao.
How could Mrs. Zhao care about that? He looked at Lian Fangzhou eagerly and asked, "Fangzhou, are you still going to pick mushrooms? If you go, take me with you! More than one company, in case something happens It's good to have someone to take care of, isn't it?"
Mrs. Zhao had an idea, and immediately thought of taking a share.
And she herself doesn't know which kind of mushrooms can be eaten and which ones can't be eaten. If she eats them to death and someone brings a lawsuit, it will be troublesome. Of course it's safest to go with Lian Fangzhou.
Lian Fangzhou glanced at Aunt Zhang with some embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I know that you and Uncle Li are very good to our siblings. Originally, I didn't want to keep this matter from you, but I was afraid You will disagree if you know, so I-"
As she spoke, she sighed softly again, and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry! I have a sense of propriety, and I won't mess around! Aze and the others are still young, and when they are growing up, they just rely on the ground How can I get enough food for my family? Maybe I have to think of other ways!"
Uncle Li sighed and said, "It's really hard for you! If you treat them like this, they will definitely treat you well in the future!"
Aunt Zhang also sighed: "Forget it! What else can I say after you have said that? But you have to pay attention to one thing. There are no less than a hundred kinds of mushrooms in the mountain, and many of them are poisonous and will eat people. If you haven’t seen it before, don’t pick it indiscriminately! Also, mushrooms grow close to the ground, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects, and poisonous ants in the forest. Look carefully before picking, in case there are traces of something crawling, Remember not to ask for it! It’s okay if there is no accident, but if something happens, it will be a matter of life and death!”
Lian Fangzhou's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Fangzhou has been taught, thank you for your advice!"
Aunt Zhang smiled, nodded and said nothing more.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help asking again: "Fangzhou, are you still going? Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow? Or when..."
The boundary of Xianteng Mountain is extremely wide, and there is no hindrance if more people go there—even if the boundary is not wide, it is impossible for even Fangzhou to go without people from the Li family.
Dang even nodded happily, and said with a smile, "Aze and I are planning to go tomorrow!"
She didn't say anything about inviting Mrs. Zhao—after all, Aunt Zhang didn't seem to agree with it.
But the meaning of welcome in the words is still very clear.
Zhao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed Lian Fangzhou's arm and smiled, "Fangzhou, why don't I go with you tomorrow? Although I don't understand, you're here! I don't ask for more, I will be satisfied if I can earn a few pocket money!"
