The incident ended with Zhou Jianren's grandson becoming mentally retarded. Zhou Jianren's family suffered a great loss and were filled with hatred.

However, they had no choice but to rely on the village chief, the police for deterrence, and the villagers all supporting Liu Junyi, so they did not dare to act recklessly.

But during those days, when people passed by their house, they could always hear the crying of children, the crying and cursing of women, and the sound of things being thrown in the house.

When Zhou Bin heard people talking about the chaotic situation in his family, he just said two words coldly: "Serves you right!"

Zhou Bin was too lazy to care about those trivial matters as he had more important things to do.

After the wheat is harvested, it cannot be put directly into the kiln, as it will easily sprout and rot. It must be dried in the sun.

So he, his father and his wife pulled the wheat to the threshing floor, laid a layer of plastic sheet on the ground, and then spread the wheat out to dry.

After three days of drying, the wheat was completely dried. They then packed the wheat into bags, tied them up, and stored them in the kiln.

After finishing all these things, Zhou Bin finally had time to do his own things.

He came to Aniu's house, intending to ask Aniu to accompany him to the wild to pick some berries.

As soon as he entered Aniu's house, Zhou Bin saw Aniu sitting in the yard smoking with a depressed look on his face.

"Aniu, is your wheat ready to be harvested?" Zhou Bin asked.

When Ah Niu saw that it was Zhou Bin, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Brother, you are here. It will take another two days for my family to harvest the wheat."

"Oh, I heard it will rain in a few days, so you'd better harvest early." Zhou Bin said with a smile.

Ah Niu gave Zhou Bin a big wild goose pagoda and said, "It's okay. I heard on the radio that there will be no rain later. My wheat is still a little green, so it won't be good to harvest it too early."

Zhou Bin nodded: "Oh, that's good, what are you doing?"

Ah Niu said with a depressed look on his face: "It's nothing, I just feel unlucky! I was blackmailed for twenty dollars for no reason!"

Zhou Bin smiled and advised: "Forget it, you are unlucky to run into this unreasonable guy. Anyway, the kid is already stupid, let's see if they are still arrogant!"

Ah Niu sighed and asked, "Brother, what do you want to see me about?"

Zhou Bin slapped his head and laughed, "Hey, look at my brain, I came here to pick berries with you."

Ah Niu looked surprised: "Brother, are you greedy? Why are you picking that thing?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I'm not greedy, I'm useful, and I'm going to pick some red plum apricots by the way."

Ah Niu looked puzzled: "Brother, what are you going to do now?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment. I won't let you work for nothing. I'll give you five dollars as a reward for your hard work. How about that?"

When Ah Niu heard that there was money, he immediately smiled happily: "Brother, why should I ask for money for helping you? Aren't you scolding me? You have helped my family so much."

Zhou Bin said, "Let's get back to the old ways. Let's go."

As he said that, he took out five dollars and handed it to Aniu.

Although Ah Niu said no, he stretched out his hand honestly.

After receiving the money, Ah Niu's anger turned into joy and he said happily: "Brother, let's go."

The two men carried bamboo baskets and bags and went straight to the earth cliff at the east end of the village, where wild berries grew.

When the two arrived, they found that the entire earth cliff was covered with black and red, and the berries were ripe.

Zhou Bin told Aniu to pick the berries carefully and not to rot them.

The two of them worked hard for a while and picked a full bamboo basket of berries, then left satisfied.

When they came back, they went to Zhou Dexing's apricot orchard to ask for some red plum apricots, and then returned home.

As soon as I got home, Li Nan was teaching Xiaohua to read with a picture book.

When Xiaohua saw her father coming back, she immediately ran over to smell the food and asked in surprise, "Dad, what smells so good?"

Zhou Bin opened the bamboo basket, and a basket of fresh black and red berries appeared in front of her.

Xiaohua jumped up with joy and shouted, "Wow! These berries are so delicious!"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Xiao Nan, please take a basin and wash these berries for us."

Li Nan asked with a smile: "Brother Bin, why did you pick so many berries? If you can't eat them all at once, they will go bad."

Zhou Bin laughed: "I'm not just eating them, I'm also going to use these berries to make popcorn."

Li Nan and A Niu looked at him in surprise at the same time. A Niu immediately asked, "Brother, you want to make popcorn with berries?"

Li Nan was also amazed: "How can this thing be used to make popcorn?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "You will understand when you see it. I will make some high-quality fruit popcorn. It will be delicious!"

The two were still confused, but Zhou Bin had already started preparing.

He moved the stove under the shade of a tree, started a fire, and put a large iron pot on it.

After a while, the iron pan was hot, and he took some vegetable oil and poured it into the pan.

When the cooking oil was 50% hot, he immediately put some washed berries in it.

There was immediately a crackling sound coming from the oil pan. After a while, the berries were fried dry and the oil in the pan turned pink.

At this time, Zhou Bin hurriedly used a colander to scoop out the berries from the pot, put in corn beans and sugar, and then covered the pot.

A few minutes later, the sound in the pot stopped and Zhou Bin opened the lid with a smile.

A puff of white steam came out with a bang, and when I looked into the pot, there was half a pot of pink popcorn.

When Xiaohua saw it, she exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! Dad, pink popcorn looks so delicious!"

Li Nan also exclaimed: "Brother Bin, why is the popcorn this color?"
