Spring comes and flowers bloom, and all things come to life.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, making the ground look mottled.

Li Xiyue carried a backpack and wore a straw hat on her head, and walked through the mountains and forests with Xiaobai.

Collect herbs, pick mushrooms, and pick firewood.

After a busy morning, the backpack was full and he was still carrying two bundles of firewood in his hands.

She walked easily and heard Xiaobai's cry in the distance.

When I looked over, I saw a wild fruit forest with red bayberries and wild grapes, and the fruits hung on the branches.

It tasted sour just by smelling it, so I didn't dare to taste it.

But I still picked some, put them in my backpack, and took them back to the village.

It was time to get off work, and I met Huang Xinrui who was coming back. "I picked some wild fruits in the mountains, do you want to eat some?"

"Yes!" Huang Xinrui had a greedy mouth. She liked everything she ate. She rummaged through the basket, "Oh, these are bayberries and grapes."

She took a bayberry and put it in her mouth. The next moment, she frowned and squinted her eyes, "...sour."

"Then give it to Aunt Xiulan. She's pregnant and likes sour food." Li Xiyue curved her eyebrows.

Huang Xinrui was unwilling to give up and took some grapes. The green ones were so sour that they made your teeth fall out, while the purple ones were a little sweet, but still too sour. She pouted and said, "Wild fruits are just not tasty."

"What a pity! There's a whole field of wild fruits. If no one wants to eat them, they'll just fall to the ground. What a waste... Oh, by the way, I heard that fruits can be used to make wine just like grains. It would be great if we could make wine."

If fruit wine is brewed well, it can also taste good.

"I can!" Huang Xinrui's eyes lit up.

"Can you make wine?"

She looked proud and said, "Of course, my mother taught me."

"That's fine. Once it's brewed, you can take it... and sell it." Li Xiyue leaned close to her ear and said two words.

Huang Xinrui looked around and asked in a low voice, "Do we dare to go to that place?"

"There are certain risks," said Li Xiyue.

But for now, this is the only place to go if you want to make money.

Huang Xinrui thought of something and whispered in her ear, "My husband Wang said that Zhou Zhiqing often sneaks out at night and comes back late at night. Maybe he goes to that place to sell things."

Ever since Zhou Yunxia recovered from her illness, she has been able to hunt prey in the mountains frequently, and the lives of the brother and sister have visibly improved.

In all likelihood, they're taking their prey to the black market to exchange for money.

Of course Li Xiyue knew about this, but she didn't want to say it out loud.

"Maybe... But don't think too far ahead. The most urgent thing is to brew the wine first. If it tastes good, I'll buy it and we won't have to go there."

She has tried medicinal wine, white wine, red wine, and liquor, but has never tried fruit wine, so she is looking forward to it.

Huang Xinrui was so happy, "Then let's go to the mountain to pick fruits when we have time."

"Let Xiaobai take you there. I'm busy." Li Xiyue only gave her an idea to make money. They had to do it themselves and she would not get involved.

Huang Xinrui was full of energy, "OK!"

After returning to the educated youth site, Huang Xinrui told Wang Jiaxing about the idea of ​​making fruit wine, and Wang Jiaxing agreed with both hands.

So, after work at noon, Huang Xinrui and Wang Jiaxing did not take a nap. Instead, they ran up the mountain with baskets on their backs, and brought back baskets of wild fruits.

But there were many people at the educated youth site, and they were afraid of being discovered, so the two of them borrowed the backyard of the clinic to store the items.

Wang Jiaxing also managed to get back a few clay jars for pickling sauerkraut.

The two of them went in and out, and after being busy for a while, they actually managed to make Huang Xinrui brew fruit wine.

She brewed two kinds of wine, bayberry wine and grape wine.

After tasting it, Li Xiyue praised it, "It's delicious. The wine has a refreshing fruity aroma and tastes great."

"So we succeeded?" Wang Jiaxing asked excitedly.

Huang Xinrui looked proud and said, "With me here, how can we not succeed?"

"That's great, we have a way to make money." Wang Jiaxing held Huang Xinrui's hand, feeling that life was getting better and better, and there was more hope.

Huang Xinrui pulled her hand away and glared at him, "What a waste."

Li Xiyue thought the wine brewed by Huang Xinrui was really delicious. After drinking one glass, she wanted to drink more.

"Yueyue, don't drink too much. Fruit wine is easy to drink, but it also makes you drunk easily." Huang Xinrui quickly stopped her.

Li Xiyue did feel a little drunk, and said generously: "Xinrui, I'll buy all your wine."

"Well, just drink whatever you like. There's no need to buy it." Huang Xinrui waved her hand indifferently.

Wang Jiaxing also said, "That's right, if it weren't for Dr. Li's suggestion, we wouldn't have thought of this way to make money."

"You carried these fruits down from the mountain one after another, and the wine took a lot of time and effort to brew. How can I not charge you?" said Li Xiyue.

Although the idea was proposed by her, they also have to have the ability themselves, otherwise no matter how good the idea is, it will be useless.

Huang Xinrui and Wang Jiaxing exchanged a glance and still insisted, "Yueyue, we're not doing this once or twice, we want to do it for a long time. We can't sell it to you every time. You can't drink that much."

"Yes, I'll only sell it to you once. For the long term, I have to go to that place and try again." Wang Jiaxing also said.

Li Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you have five or six cylinders, right? I'll buy one of each type, and you can take the rest to other places to try."

Huang Xinrui and Wang Jiaxing disagreed, and finally after bargaining, they decided to buy half a tank and get half a tank free.

There were two jars of wine, but Li Xiyue only paid for one.

The large jars were difficult to transport, so Wang Jiaxing went to the flea market and bought some small wine jars to pack them.

That evening, when Zhou Yunze was leaving the house, Wang Jiaxing stopped him and asked, "Zhou Zhiqing, where are you going?"

"Ahem!" Zhou Yunze didn't expect that even with such a gentle movement, he still woke up his roommate. He awkwardly made an excuse, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Wang Jiaxing was a little amused. "Don't pretend. In fact, I know every time you go out. I just didn't say it."

"Ah? Then you..." You're not going to report me, are you?

Wang Jiaxing patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Don't worry, I won't report you. I want to go with you. Can you take me with you?"

"Take you?" Zhou Yunze said with a smile, "Wang Zhiqing, there's no need for you to take this risk, right?"

He and his sister had no choice but to take this route. Given Wang Jiaxing's situation, he should have no worries about food and drink, so there was no need to take any risks.

"You know my family's situation. If I want Huang Zhiqing to live a good life, I must... Brother, just consider it as a plea from me, just take me under your wing." Wang Jiaxing's attitude was very pious.

Zhou Yunze hesitated again and again, "Okay, then you come with me."

Wang Jiaxing is a nice person. He and his sister have helped them a lot since they came to the countryside. There is nothing to lose by taking care of him. It can be considered as repaying him for his care over the past few days.

Wang Jiaxing was very happy and took out five or six wine jars hidden under the bed.

"What is this?" Zhou Yunze was surprised because he didn't know there was something hidden under the bed.

"Fruit wine, brewed by Huang Zhiqing." Wang Jiaxing did not hide it from him.

Zhou Yunze smiled, "You guys are really amazing. You can even make wine."

The two men carried their things and went to the commune in the dark.
