C72 Picking vegetables

However, this year was different. This year, she could temporarily leave this child in her parents' home. After all, they were separated, so she no longer had to worry about her older brothers or sister-in-law gossiping about her.

So this time, Fang Changhui stayed in the Fang family with her children for two more days. Fang Changhui was a diligent woman, and her hands and feet were extremely quick.

How could Fang Changfu bear to do such a thing with a little sister? He had asked her to come to his home to rest and not for her to work, thus he only allowed her to stay home to rest and chat with the Yu's. He himself, on the other hand, had taken the banknotes with him to the county office early in the morning to get the land deed.

A few families were already busy growing peanuts. had been busy in the past few years, but after separating this year, she did not have to worry about other families anymore, she did not need to discuss the matter of farming land, and she did not need to bring her granddaughters to the mountain to pick wild herbs.

At this time, it was already late in the day. Many women in the village had taken their children to dig up wild vegetables from the mountains. There was a type of wild vegetables called "fern", which grew everywhere when the spring breeze blew.

It had been a long time since she had been up the mountain. The mountain was indeed a large treasury, so when she had nothing to do today, she took the children to the mountain to gather ferns while Fang Changhui and the others were around.

However, Fang Yicheng, Xu Susu Qiu and Xu Su Huan, these two little kids, also wanted to go. These little kids would stay at home all the time, but when they heard that they were going up the mountain, they would probably be very happy, so the adults were a little difficult on them, so they agreed to take them up the mountain.

Along the way, Fang Ruxiu and the rest had already met her people, and they had all greeted the Yu's one by one. When Fang Ruxiu saw them bustling about, she looked at her own group, young and old.

Fang Ruxiu was still a little worried about Yu's and a few kids, so she let them look for some ferns at the bottom of the mountain. As for her, she planned to go up the mountain.

This area at the bottom of the mountain was completely bare, without even a blade of grass. Naturally, there was no danger. Once they were halfway up the mountain, Fang Ruzhu was a little worried that they would run into the snake bugs, so she didn't let them go.

The Yeats and Fang Changhui had reached the mountainside. There were a lot of people at the bottom of the mountain, and there were no ferns at all.

She saw that the ferns on the road were not considered lush, and either they had been harvested, or they had aged, leaving only a few by the side of the road. She was too lazy to pick them, so she thought about going to the place where Fang Yizheng usually cut down trees.

As a result, when she went to the place Fang Yizheng normally chopped trees at, she realised that she had thought wrong again, and this place had been swept clean. There were a few poor women in the village. They came to the mountain at dawn with dried food and planned to finish their lunch here. This way, they could save some time.

Forget it, it wasn't easy for her either. She should just go up a little more and not fight over territory with these pitiful women.

With a heart of compassion, Fang Ruyi did not want to fight with these women over their territories, so she continued to walk up the mountain. The higher she went, the quieter it became. She finally heard the cracking sound of a branch breaking. The corner of Fang Ruxiu's mouth curled into a smile as she walked towards the source of the sound.

"Big brother!" The tree branches were so thick that it was impossible to see the figure of a person. At this time, after hearing the voice, this person temporarily put down his machete, hung it on a tree branch and turned his head. Only when Fang Ruzhu walked up to him did he realize that this was a completely different youth.

This youth looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old and wore gray patched clothing. He had a pretty face, but because a lot of dust would fall from chopping wood, he looked a bit dirty.

"Aiya, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." When Fang Ruxiu saw this youth wink, she waved her hand and said.

"It's alright, which village are you from?" Why haven't I seen you before? " This youth looked at Fang Ruxiu with some curiosity.

"I'm from this village." Fang Ruxiu waved her hand and said, "It's normal that you don't know me, but you should know my big brother. He's called Fang Yizheng."

"Oh, Fang Yizheng, I know, you're his little sister?" The youth curiously asked, "I heard that his sister was wrong to hug someone else. Could it be you?"

"Yes, that's me." Fang Ru Xiu frankly replied.

However, since this person was not Fang Yizheng, there was no need for her to waste time with him. However, she still asked, "Young man, have you seen my brother today?"

"Nope." The teenager shook his head.

"Alright then. You can continue to chop wood. I'll go find my big brother." After Fang Ru Xiu finished speaking, she left.

However, she didn't have to find Fang Yizheng this time. She would find him if she could, but if she couldn't, she should just pick the ferns first.

This place was close to the mountain peak, and there were more ferns here than there were below. Only someone as fast as Fang Ruzhu would be able to reach such a high mountain. Otherwise, they would have to spend all their time on the road.

Fang Yizheng should be down there, this mountain is huge, I must have missed out on him. However, Fang Ruxiu did not care. She just picked up the ferns by herself. There were a lot of ferns in this place, so she did not need to look for them. As long as her hands were fast enough, it would be fine.

Fang Ru Xiu was the kind of person who was quick to pick. After picking for a while, she was a bit tired, so she consoled herself and treated it as cultivation. Like this, her harvest was pretty good.

In less than an hour, she had already prepared a large sackcloth bag for storing the ferns.

Fang Ruzhu wanted to gather more each time. If she couldn't finish, she could just dry them and cook them into dried vegetables. She could use them when she ran out of dishes later on. The reason why the women in the village picked these ferns was so that they could eat them themselves. The other one could also be sold. There were a lot of people who bought these ferns in the town and it was said that some of the nobles in the city liked to eat them.

A single coin was enough to buy three pounds. However, in the eyes of these women, three pounds of money was equivalent to an egg. In their eyes, this was unfounded and naturally attracted many women to come to the mountain to pick ferns.

He didn't expect that the people of ancient times could do business here. Originally, he had thought that he could live on the mountain, but he didn't expect that someone would provoke her not long ago and let her earn a fortune.

Thinking about this matter, she blushed a little. However, this kind of ill-gotten wealth was much faster than the money she earned from hard work. Even if she painstakingly picked up a few pounds today, she would still be able to earn 10 gold coins.

Alright, she didn't think that a hundred taels was too much. Ten pieces of money wasn't too little for her. Now that she had started to earn money again, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

If she bought the land, built a wall, and built a house, then she wouldn't be able to keep the 100 taels of silver. She still wanted to buy a cow; it would be easier to work in this way. That's right, he still had to buy a few sheep. In any case, his seven to eight acres of land was huge and he had plenty of grass. If he were to raise the sheep, he would be able to drink some sweet goat milk.

Everyone loved beauty. She worked and practiced martial arts every day. If she did not take proper care of herself, her face would soon become as red as the rumours about the chapped land and the high altitude.

She also said that she wanted to bring the family to a whole new height, so she must have been defeated first with her appearance.

As she worked by herself, she thought about the beautiful things that would happen in the future as she picked ferns. Fang Ru's embroidery was rather relaxing, and time passed quite quickly. In the blink of an eye, the morning had already passed. Seeing that no one was around, Fang Ruxiu put her own ferns into her storage space and then easily used her footwork to walk down the mountain.

On the way, they met the youth who chopped firewood again. He was not much older than Fang Yizheng, but he was carrying a large firewood down the mountain. Fang Ru Xiu could only sigh at how a poor child took charge early. Without any hesitation, she ran past him, leaving the youth far behind.

Hehe, she doesn't have that kind of sympathy. She's still in a hurry to go home and eat dinner.

When they were almost to the door of their house, seeing that no one was around, Fang Ru Xiu found a corner and dragged back the large bag of ferns that she had picked.

Yeats was heating a fire and cooking in the corridor outside of the room. When he saw Fang Ruxiu dragging in a large bag of food, he immediately walked over and helped her bring it back.

"Ru Xiu, what's inside? Fern? " Yeats looked at such a big bag of things and asked with some doubt. She guessed that it was ferns, but in her eyes, Fang Ruyi was just a young miss who only knew how to embroider.

"Yeah." However, Fang Ruzhu nodded and said, "I ran up there to see if Big Brother was there. I didn't think that Big Brother wouldn't be there, but there are a lot of ferns there. I'm afraid that everyone else would come up, so I picked them very quickly."

"It's been hard on you, son." Yeats told Fang Ruxiu to rest first, and then he moved the fern into the hallway by himself. After that, he walked over to the stove and continued lighting the fire.

Xu Soo Huan and Xu Suqiu, the two little friends, were playing in the courtyard. When they saw Fang Ru coming back, they followed behind her, but because they were still unfamiliar with her, they didn't speak.

Fang Ruzhu originally wanted to pinch the two little bun's face, but her hands were a little dirty at the moment, so she first filled a basin with water. After washing her hands, she called the two little bun over. She knew that this child loved to play and his hands were always dirty, so she earnestly washed them both before pinching their faces.
