Chapter 207 Corn Field
The time when Zhou Laosan returned was beyond everyone's expectations.
It felt like they had just been out for a short while when they came back.
Old Mrs. Zhou was cutting the mushrooms in her hands and looked up at her daughter-in-law and son.
"Old Three, why are you selling so fast? Are they all sold out?"
"Mom, it's sold out. How's it going? I didn't do badly, did I?"
Zhou Laosan jumped out of the car, followed by Liu and Zhu, and finally they brought down a lamb.
"Mom, we went to my uncle's house, and his sheep had just given birth. He said he had planned to send it over in a few days, but since we were there, he asked us to bring it over."
Liu said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's fine. His family doesn't have a car, and it's a long way to go. This saves a lot of trouble. Did you give your uncle some money?"
"Of course I gave it to him. One hundred copper coins is not too much or too little, right?"
Zhou Laosan paid according to the market price. After all, he was his uncle, and it would be very awkward if he gave more or less.
"Yes, all right. You guys unload the donkey cart. I'll lead the lamb into the backyard."
Old Mrs. Zhou smiled and walked towards the backyard, holding the rope tied to the lamb's neck.
Zhou Mingshu and several of his children also gathered around to watch.
This little lamb is very pretty, it can be described as "thick eyebrows and big eyes", its body is snow-white, and its "bleating" voice sounds soft, it feels like a "little wife".
Zhou Minghua has a new favorite and dances with joy.
From time to time, I would take some grass and feed it to them.
"Oh, our lives are getting better and better. We are getting more and more hopeful."
Old Mrs. Zhou stood aside with her hands on her hips. There were donkeys, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and rabbits in the backyard. It was great!
"Grandma, it's a big problem for all the livestock in our family to eat grass. How much grass do they need to eat in a day?"
Zhou Mingjie was very worried about this problem because the rabbits at home had given birth to a litter of puppies.
Only Sandan and Siya were cutting grass, which was not enough to feed the children.
"It's okay. We'll provide them with as much grass as they want. Grass is the most abundant thing in these fields and mountains. Your father and his men will cut down trees in a while and get a lot of leaves, which they can eat."
Old Mrs. Zhou thought this was not a big problem. The livestock ate a lot and excreted a lot, which all turned into fertilizer and would be best used for growing crops in the fields.
"Yeah, as long as it's enough to eat." Zhou Mingjie muttered.
"San Ya, the weather is so cool today, stop busying yourself and go read some books."
Old Mrs. Zhou was happy and there was nothing important to do at home, so she arranged for her grandchildren to study.
"Okay, grandma, we'll go right away."
Zhou Mingshu and his group went to learn to read and write, while Old Mrs. Zhou took her youngest son and a shovel and went to the fields together.
The eldest and the second son have been in the fields for so long and haven't come back yet. They must have encountered some problems.
Maybe a lot of corns are leaning over in the cornfield.
When she thought of this, Mrs. Zhou felt as if her heart was frying in oil.
They followed the footprints of Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er and entered the corn field.
There are indeed quite a few traces of new soil, indicating that corn has indeed fallen into the field.
Not long after we walked, we met two people who were returning.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, have you finished checking everything?"
Before he even came up to him, Zhou Laosan started asking.
"Third brother? Mother? Why are you here? Come here quickly, I have something good to show you."
Zhou Laoer walked over and when they saw what was in his hand, both Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Laosan were stunned.
This hand is holding a bunch of chicken mushrooms...
"Where did you pick this up?" Old Mrs. Zhou was surprised.
"Mom, it's in our corn field! We can't carry it all here, so we thought about going home to get a basket. Now that you're here, you can carry it home and bring us a basket. There might be more in the field."
"Okay, give it to me. I'll go home first. Third brother, you stay and look for it with your eldest and second brothers."
Old Mrs. Zhou took the bowl-sized chicken mushroom in her hands and was so happy that she couldn't stop.
I didn't expect to pick up these things from the ground. Who would have thought that I would have such an unexpected harvest.
That’s right, after such a heavy rain, the chicken mushrooms came out of the ground.
This is what grows in corn fields! She has a few more nests, and she will have to go check them out later.
"Xiao Lian, come over here and see what this is."
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but shout.
Liu's three sisters-in-law were sitting in the kitchen chatting. When they heard their mother-in-law's call, they hurried out.
"Mom, where did you pick up this chicken mushroom? It's so big."
Liu quickly brought over a basin to catch them. There were actually more than a dozen flowers in the two handfuls.
"This was picked up by the eldest and second sons in our corn field. If you have nothing to do, go and look for it. There are not many people in the field."
As Old Mrs. Zhou spoke, she leaned over to listen. Everyone understood what she meant.
After picking up the fruits in your own fields, you can also look for them in other people’s fields.
"Okay, let's change our shoes and go."
"Okay, I'll call Da Ya and Er Ya to come along. Children have sharp eyes and quick legs."
"Okay, go ahead. You, Lao San's family, just stay at home and look after Sandan and Si Ya as well as the livestock in the backyard."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou took a group of children out and closed the door.
Feng would not sit idle, so she picked a few pumpkin leaves, washed the chicken mushrooms in the basin, and then tore them into small strips.
Zhou Mingshu had just taught a poem when his grandmother called him away.
On the way over, Zhou Mingjie was still muttering the poem he had just recited.
"Goose, goose, goose, Qu Xiang sings to the sky..."
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't understand this. Seeing that he was still restless, she said to him, "What are you pooping about? Do you want to poop?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhou Mingjie was speechless.
"Grandma, I'm reciting a poem, why are you saying it so harshly!" He was really pissed off.
"Who knows you are reciting poetry? I don't understand it. I just hear you pooping. Who knows what you are going to poop?"
Zhou Mingjie didn't want to continue the conversation, so he turned his face away and said nothing.
Zhou Mingshu had to explain, "Grandma, I taught a poem today called "Goose". It's not the one you mentioned, but the 'goose' in chicken, duck and goose. This poem is mainly about geese..."
Zhou Mingshu briefly explained the meaning of the poem, and then they understood.
"So that's how it is. It turns out that we are still suffering from our lack of education."
After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, everyone started laughing again.
"Grandma, even though you haven't been to school and have never learned to read, you have a lot of life experience. We still have a lot to learn from you..."
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi flattered them a lot, and they didn't feel so sorry for them.
Seeing that they had reached their own territory, everyone split up to look for it.
"If any corn is crooked, support it and step on it with your feet."
"understood."
