After seeing off Fu Jingchao, Shen Xingwan hid the tips and returned to the thatched house. Everyone was squatting in front of the big pot and drinking porridge.
Mrs. Zhang handed a bowl to her and said, "Drink it. After you drink it, my mother will take you up the mountain today."
Although it is close to the Jiangnan water town, Ono Village, where the Shen family is located, is backed by a large mountain. There is a river running through it at the foot of the mountain. It is considered a good place with mountains and rivers.
Although the villagers are not very wealthy, thanks to the unique geographical location, basically everyone can fill their stomachs if they work hard.
"Wow, we're going up the mountain." Shen Xiaoguo was the first to cheer.
"A'yu is going too. You all go with your mother today." Shen Tang ordered, "I will go to the town to look for a house today and settle the matter of the house as soon as possible."
Shen Xingwan touched the kit in his arms and hesitated for a moment without speaking.
She has money, but she doesn't want to give it too easily.
She must be on guard against others. She doesn't want everyone to bite her and suck her blood.
Working together to achieve common prosperity is the right way.
After this period of observation, she still believed in Shen Tang's ability. She would wait and see the results of Shen Tang's search first.
After eating, everyone quickly split up.
Shen Tang went to town, while Zhou stayed in the thatched house to take care of Daya and look after the house.
Zhang and Shen Yu led several children up the mountain.
Along the way, I met many villagers who asked them where the large group of people were going.
Ms. Zhang always smiled and answered, "While the weather is nice, take the children up the mountain to find some food to fill their bellies."
Everyone showed sympathetic eyes and comforted her a few words. While working in the fields, they gossiped about the events of the Shen family in the past few days.
Both Zhang and Shen Yu were carrying backpacks, and Shen Xiaoguo was carrying a basket. He had been strong since he was a child, so he rushed ahead alone and ran like a carnival.
Erya looks thin and small, she has been used to working since she was a child, she can walk very fast, her face is not red and she is not out of breath.
Only Shen Xingwan was a useless fish. He had crawled less than halfway and sat down on the roadside. He was panting hard, his legs were weak, and his eyesight turned black.
"Wanwan, are you okay?" Ms. Zhang looked at her worriedly, blaming herself, "I shouldn't have brought you here."
"I'm fine, just sit down for a while and calm down." Shen Xingwan said with a blush.
Shen Yu glanced at her chubby body and weighed it. He probably couldn't carry it back.
He glanced around and found a branch. He held one end of it himself and handed the other to Shen Xingwan. "Hold it, I'll take you with me, so you can save some effort."
Shen Xingwan nodded quickly.
"Why are you so useless?" Fat Meow said scornfully from the side.
Shen Xingwan said speechlessly, "Who told me to have a waste system, and I have never suffered like this before."
"Let's go." Shen Xingwan rested for a while and said a little embarrassedly.
After resting and stopping along the way, we finally climbed up the mountain.
Wild flowers, grass, fruits, green trees, the scenery was beautiful, but it was a pity that Shen Xingwan just wanted to lie down immediately.
Mrs. Zhang and her children began to get familiar with vegetables and wild vegetables.
After Shen Xingwan came over slowly, he came close to Erya and said, "Erya, please teach me how to recognize wild vegetables."
Erya likes Shen Xingwan very much and thinks she is cute and beautiful. Unlike her eldest sister, she never plays with them and dislikes them.
"Okay, I'll teach you." Erya said happily.
There were only a few that were often picked. Shen Xingwan quickly got to know them and started picking them too.
While Zhang was picking, she carefully observed her surroundings.
After basically making sure that no one was around, he mysteriously said to the children, "Follow me and I will take you to a special place."
Mrs. Zhang led the way, and the children followed obediently.
Soon Shen Xingwan was completely stunned and had no idea where he was.
Zhang walked deftly in front, climbing over mountains and ridges, going through countless woods, and finally stopped at a deserted place.
Zhang pointed to a green grass on the ground that looked a bit like spring onions at first glance, "This is rush grass, which can be used as medicine. The pith inside can also be used as a wick. After being soaked in oil, it can be lit and can provide lighting at night."
Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, "Can that be sold for money?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at the rushes growing well and nodded with a smile, "Yes, you can sell them to the drug store and harvest them together. Remember not to damage the stems and try to ensure their integrity."
The Shen family is harsh, and Su Jingyi has been in poor health since she was a child. It just so happens that Zhang is from an Orion family in the mountains.
So Shen and Tang often went up the mountain to look for food and anything that could be exchanged for money.
They had almost penetrated this mountain, and it was not without danger and life hanging by a thread.
But thinking about the children at home, the two of them could only grit their teeth and continue to persevere.
Erya looked at Mrs. Zhang timidly, "Auntie, can I have an abortion too?"
Zhang touched her head lovingly and said, "Of course, if you cut it and sell it, the money will be yours."
Erya's face turned red with excitement, and she waved the sickle and started cutting.
Zhang and Shen Yu also put down their backpacks and started cutting rushes seriously. Shen Xingwan, who had been forgotten, consciously walked over and asked, "Mom, do you need my help?"
Zhang was harvesting quickly and said to her, "No, you haven't used a sickle before, be careful of hurting yourself."
"Xiaoguo, come here and take your sister to play!"
"Why!"
After a while, Shen Xiaoguo ran out of the woods like a whirlwind.
He looked at Shen Xingwan and said reluctantly, "Come with me, and I will take you to pick up bird eggs, wild fruits, and dig out rabbit nests."
Shen Xingwan was so excited after hearing this. She had never played anything like this in her entire life.
He looked at Shen Xiaoguo with admiring eyes, "Second brother, you are so awesome!"
Shen Xiaoguo was instantly happy. He raised his head like a peacock and said arrogantly, "Then you have to follow me. I don't care if you get lost."
Shen Xingwan nodded and followed him obediently.
It's a pity that imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny.
Shen Xiaoguo jumped up and down like a monkey, he was so energetic that he didn't feel tired at all.
And Shen Xingwan's body was basically pampered, and he was already very tired from climbing the mountain just now.
Soon I couldn't keep up with Shen Xiaoguo.
"I can't do it anymore." Shen Xingwan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his chubby hand, then found a piece of grass and lay down directly.
Sure enough, being a salted fish is the happiest thing, woo woo woo.
"Why are you so useless?" Seeing that she didn't follow, Shen Xiaoguo ran back and squatted next to her, frowning at her.
Shen Xingwan acted coquettishly without feeling any burden, "But I'm really tired and my feet hurt."
"Then stay here obediently and don't run around. If you encounter danger, remember to shout for help."
Shen Xiaoguo gave some instructions and soon ran away without knowing where he was.
Shen Xingwan was lying on the grass, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and made up his mind to do business.
Otherwise, like in the farming literature, she would make a fortune by digging medicinal materials and digging ginseng, or picking up this and that in the mountains, she would tire herself to death sooner or later.
